- A bulk-downloading script was shared (gist.github.com/472ab79096be04ca6056) that scrapes Elsevier journals via ScienceDirect; it was used to pull ~50 k PDFs, including the complete run of Tetrahedron Letters (~462 issues), with the resulting archive promised as a tar.gz the next day.  
- Participants discussed the practical limits of the script—Elsevier’s intermediate pop-ups and paywalls sometimes block direct PDF links—and debated whether to prioritize paywalled vs. already-open content.  
- Library Genesis was cited as a likely recipient for the harvested papers, reinforcing the channel’s ongoing effort to seed open-access scientific corpora.  
- A brief side discussion referenced the U.S. incarceration timeline (Wikimedia chart) and a YouTube summary (youtu.be/8E7wgFcCefE) as background on the American prison system.  
- Anecdotes circulated about extreme longevity and legacy benefits: a Civil-War widow still receiving VA payments in 2003 and President John Tyler (b. 1790) having two living grandsons, illustrating compounding demographic effects over centuries.
