Alphas Make Sandwiches Ep. 88: Tamarack Tinctures, Texting Tricks & Election History Quiz

Happy Glitchmas Eve and merry midterms from the Alphas. Michelle from Tamarack Garden joins the crew to walk through a batch of new herbal tinctures going online Friday: the Bugs Out parasite cleanse, the Viral Shield oregano antiviral, Brain Wrangler with saffron and holy basil, Fertile Myrtle for hormonal support, Red Rescue for nosebleeds, the Garden Fresh internal deodorant, and a balm for dry, cracked hands, with a Black Friday tincture sale on the way. Then Jackie logs into the mainframe with iPhone texting tricks, from unsending and editing a message to Send Later, screen effects and invisible ink. Next is the idiom of the week, a dime a dozen, traced from British pennies to the first American dimes. The show closes with a This Week in U.S. History quiz: John Adams moving into the White House, Lord Dunmore's proclamation, Nixon's morning-after line, a political capital victory speech, and founders like Thomas Paine, Benjamin Franklin and Benjamin Rush on why the right to vote protects every other right.
