Podcasts about AC

Im aktuellen Podcast spreche ich mit Dr. Guido Gehlen, Director Connected Car Services & Charging bei der Hyundai Connected Mobility. Guido ist promovierter Elektroingenieur und hat über zehn Jahre bei Vodafone im Bereich vernetzter Fahrzeuge gearbeitet. Heute verantwortet er bei Hyundai Connected Mobility den gesamten Charging-Bereich für Europa, und zwar in 43 Märkten. Wir reden über Vehicle-to-Grid: das Konzept, ein Elektroauto nicht nur als Verbraucher im Stromnetz zu betreiben, sondern als aktiven Teilnehmer. Hyundai hat diesen Weg schrittweise aufgebaut, von Vehicle-to-Load beim Ioniq 5 mit bis zu 3,6 kW für den Eigenverbrauch bis hin zu bidirektionalem AC-V2G mit bis zu 10 kW im Ioniq 9 und Ioniq 6, synchronisiert mit dem öffentlichen Netz. Wir gehen durch die technischen Entscheidungen dahinter: Warum hat sich Hyundai bewusst für AC statt für DC entschieden, obwohl einige Mitbewerber den anderen Weg gehen? Was bedeutet das für die Installationskosten und die Verbreitung im Heimbereich? Und warum wurde die gesamte Komplexität ins Fahrzeug verlagert, statt sie in die Ladeinfrastruktur zu verteilen? Ein zentrales Thema ist auch das Geschäftsmodell dahinter. Wer profitiert wie? Aggregatoren, die virtuelle Kraftwerke aus vernetzten Fahrzeugen aufbauen. Energieversorger, die Lastspitzen abfedern. Und Endkund:innen, die über Vergütungsmodelle von kostenlosem Laden bis zu direkten Kickbacks an dem entstehenden Energiewert beteiligt werden. Guido erklärt außerdem, warum die Sorge vor Akkuverschleiß durch V2G weitgehend unbegründet ist, welche regulatorischen Hürden in Deutschland inzwischen weggefallen sind und was das konkrete Pilotprojekt mit Vattenfall in den Niederlanden zeigen soll. Bis zu 40 Ioniq-9-Fahrzeuge nehmen dort teil, inklusive kostenloser Wallbox und 500 Euro Ladeguthaben. Ich habe aus dem Gespräch einiges mitgenommen, besonders den Blick auf die verschiedenen Ebenen, die gleichzeitig zusammenspielen müssen, damit V2G in der Fläche wirklich funktioniert: Fahrzeugtechnik, Infrastruktur, Regulatorik und das Nutzerverhalten. Guido ordnet das nüchtern und klar ein. Wer sich für die Zukunft des bidirektionalen Ladens interessiert, sollte diese Folge nicht verpassen.

-İnsan birlikte yaşlanmak, birlikte olgunlaşmak istiyor. Acı olan şu ki, yıllar geçtikçe yanındaki insanın en çok hatalarıyla zenginleştiğini görüyorsun. Dönüp geriye baktığında, hayatını yaşanır kılmak için o kadar çaba sarf ettiğin adam, senin en değer verdiğin şeyleri değersizleştirmeye çalışmış hep. Çalışmaya da devam ediyor.

Episode 190.2: AC in Europe, Spain, Black Madonna, Italian Linens, Death, Being Intentional, and Rare Character Limited Release #1

Send us Fan MailIn S2E42, we kick things off with Robby doom scrolling One Piece and GTA videos while Ian talks through house plans, office garage dreams, fire pits, fans for the kids' rooms, and eventually getting AC installed. From there, Slinky's cone-head chaos takes over, along with dog feeding routines, Roxy stealing leftovers, giant cow bones, Starlink problems, and Riverside turning Robby into full Megatron mid-conversation. We also get into how we categorize friendships, why some people are long-distance friends versus in-person friends, trying to animate podcast reels, Robby's baseball game, broken bats, expensive parking, mosquito traps, Japan earthquakes, memories of the 2011 disaster relief trip to Minamisanriku, parking-lot etiquette when cars are backing out, Texas Walmart chaos, “People of Walmart” energy, Robby's painted nails and flip-flop uniform, and finally discovering that his Peaky Blinders-looking hat is apparently an Irish flat cap. Support the show

Every invention in this series—the phone, the internet, the smartphone—depends on one foundational breakthrough. Newt unpacks the electrical power system's tangled origin story: Thomas Edison's Pearl Street Station, Nikola Tesla's alternating current, and George Westinghouse's bet that AC was the future. Their rivalry erupted into the "War of Currents," settled dramatically at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. From there, electrification swept rural America, transforming domestic labor and daily life. It's the story of how competition and infrastructure investment built the invisible foundation on which the entire modern world now runs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Šodien, 29. jūlijā, ASV, dzimtajā Dienvidkarolīnas pavalstī zemes klēpī gulda senatoru Lindsiju Greiemu.„Prusaku Tautas partijas” jauda Indijā. Mežu ugunsgrēki ir jau ierasts vasaras tveices pavadonis Eiropā. Aktualitātes analizē Sandis Šrāders, Latvijas Ārpolitikas insitūtas vecākais pētnieks un RTU Aizsardzības tehnoloģiju centra direktors, un Paula Markusa, Latvijas Televīzijas Ziņu dienesta ārzemju ziņu redaktore. Lindsijam Greiemam aizejot Šodien, 29. jūlijā, ASV, dzimtajā Dienvidkarolīnas pavalstī zemes klēpī gulda Lindsiju Greiemu, senatoru, vienu no ietekmīgākajiem un ārpolitikas procesos ieinteresētākajiem ASV likumdevēja pārstāvjiem un, cita starpā, pārliecinātu prezidenta Donalda Trampa sabiedroto. Greiems šķīrās no dzīves pēkšņi 11. jūlijā, 71 gada vecumā, kā tiek vēstīts, no aortas plīsuma, ko izraisījusi hroniska sirds un asinsvadu aterosklerotiskā kaite. Pagātnē gan Krievijas, gan Irānas propagandas rupori devuši mājienu, ka viņu valsts attiecīgie dienesti varētu mēģināt Greiemu novākt, taču, saskaņā ar varas iestāžu pausto, senatora aiziešanai ir dabiski iemesli. Lindsijs Greiems absolvējis Dienvidkarolīnas Universitāti ar jurista diplomu un septiņus gadus dienējis ASV Gaisa spēku juridiskajā dienestā, tai skaitā kā Gaisa spēku galvenais prokurors Eiropā, sasniedzot pulkveža dienesta pakāpi. Saistība ar bruņotajiem spēkiem nepārprotami noteikusi arī senatora pastāvīgo interesi par militārās stratēģijas un drošības jautājumiem. 1994. gadā Greiems tika pirmoreiz ievēlēts ASV Kongresā, kur izpelnījās ievērību kā viens no toreizējā prezidenta Bila Klintona impīčmenta procesa virzītājiem. Kopš 2002. gada Lindsijs Greiems bija Senāta loceklis. Viņš bija plaši pazīstams kā aktīvs bruņošanās budžetu un amerikāņu globālās militārās klātbūtnes aizstāvis, pārliecināts NATO alianses piekritējs. Viņš bija arī viens no tiem tālredzīgajiem Rietumu politiķiem, kurš atdzimstošā Kremļa impēriskuma draudus saskatīja jau kopš Krievijas agresijas pret Gruziju 2008. gadā un uzstāja, ka Putina režīms ir jāapvalda no spēka pozīcijām. Izraēlā, Ukrainā, arī Baltijas valstīs Lindsiju Greiemu piemin kā šo valstu uzticamu draugu un atbalstītāju. Vērienīgākās atvadu ceremonijas vakar notika Vašingtonā – atvadīšanās Kapitolija ēkā un bēru dievkalpojums Vašingtonas Nacionālajā katedrālē. Katedrālē atvadu runu teica arī prezidents Tramps, nodēvēdams Greiemu par „leģendu” un „Senāta gigantu”. 2016. gada vēlēšanu kampaņas laikā Trampam nācās uzklausīt no aizgājēja daudz netīkama, taču vēlāk abi kļuva par ciešiem sabiedrotajiem. Atvadu ceremonijā Kapitolijā Senāta vairākuma frakcijas vadītājs Džons Tūns pauda, ka aizgājējs pret savu likumdevēja darbu izturējies tik nopietni kā neviens, taču bijis arī nepārspējams, radot ap sevi jautrības un atbrīvotības gaisotni. Atvadīties no Lindsija Greiema ieradušies, starp citiem, arī Ukrainas prezidents Volodimirs Zelenskis un Izraēlas premjerministrs Benjamins Netanjahu. Zelenskis vakar ticies ar Trampu Baltā nama Ovālajā kabinetā, un pēc šīs tikšanās vēlreiz izskanēja informācija par iespējamu pretgaisa aizsardzības sistēmas „Patriot”raķešu ražošanas licences piešķiršanu Ukrainai. Ar prusakiem nav joki Indijas politisko veidojumu „Prusaku Tautas partija” raksturo kā politiskās satīras kustību. Tā radās šī gada maijā, kad Indijas Augstākās tiesas priekšsēdētājs Surja Kants nievājoši izteicās par jauniem ļaudīm, kuri aktīvi pauž viedokli sociālajos tīklos un medijos, kā arī iesniedz attiecīgus pieprasījumus varas iestādēm. Kants pierakstīja šai jauno ļaužu kopībai sociālu parazītismu un salīdzināja viņus ar prusakiem. Neuzmanīgā frāze izraisīja plašu rezonansi, un šādā noskaņojumā tapa publiskās komunikācijas stratēģa Abidžīta Dipkes iniciatīva – soctīklu politiskā kustība „Prusaku Tautas partija”. Nosaukums nepārprotami kariķē premjerministra Nerendras Modi vadītā spēka – Indijas Tautas partijas nosaukumu. Jau mēnesi vēlāk „prusaki” parādīja konservatīvajai varai savu politisko jaudu. Par iemeslu kļuva maija sākumā notikušā centralizētā medicīnas studiju iestājpārbaudījuma rezultātu anulēšana. Šis iestājpārbaudījums ir vispieprasītākais Indijā, un rezultātu atcelšana atstāja neziņā miljoniem reflektantu. Kā tiek ziņots, 12 jaunieši psiholoģiskās spriedzes dēļ izdarījuši pašnāvību. Jūnija sākumā, „prusaku” kustības aicināti, Deli ielās izgāja pirmie protestētāji. Sākumā premjerministra Modi valdība nepievērsa tiem uzmanību, taču pulcēšanās nerima, līdz jūlijā sasniedza jau desmitus tūkstošu dalībnieku. Galvenās prasības bija izglītības ministra Dharmendras Pradhana demisija, nozīmīgas izglītības sistēmas reformas un kompensācijas tiem, kuriem nodarījis kaitējumu lēmums par pārbaudījuma rezultātu atcelšanu. Protestiem pieslēdzās vairākas studentu organizācijas un opozīcijas partijas. Kritiskais lūzuma punkts iestājās 20. jūlijā, kad policija galvaspilsētā Ņūdeli neļāva protestētāju gājienam pietuvoties parlamentam, laižot darbā nūjas un asaru gāzi. Protestētāji par atbildi apmētāja policistus ar akmeņiem. Vairāki desmiti protestētāju tika ievainoti, varas iestādes ziņo par cietušajiem arī policijas pusē. Policistu brutalitāte izraisīja pretēju efektu, un protesti tikai vērsās plašumā, aptverot arī citas pilsētas. Acīmredzot varas virsotnē saprata, ka ar „prusakiem” nav joki, un nolēma upurēt vienu no premjerministra uzticamajiem līdzgaitniekiem, izglītības ministru Pradhanu – 25. jūlijā viņš paziņoja par savu demisiju. Šis ir pirmais tāds gadījums divpadsmit gadus ilgajā premjerministra Modi un viņa partijas varas periodā. Diemžēl no vairākām Indijas pavalstīm pienāk ziņas, ka varasiestādes, par spīti agrāk solītajam, arestējušas vairākus desmitus protestu dalībnieku. Kustība piedraudējusi, ka var atkal aicināt jaunatni ielās. Sagatavoja Eduards Liniņš. Vasara kā nelaime Mežu ugunsgrēki ir jau ierasts vasaras tveices pavadonis Eiropā, un šomēnes tādi jau masveidā plosās vairākos Francijas un Spānijas reģionos. Francijā visvairāk cietis dienvidrietumos esošais Žirondas departaments, kur uguns pietuvojusies tā centram, Francijas devītajai lielākajai pilsētai Bordo. Uguns strauji izplatījusies, postot mežus un laukus Francijas slavenajā vīna reģionā, un mazāk nekā četrās dienās izdedzinājusi vairāk nekā 420 kvadrātkilometrus, kas aptuveni četras reizes pārsniedz Parīzes teritoriju. Savukārt Spānijā skarti centrālie un austrumu reģioni, tai skaitā Spānijas galvaspilsētas Madrides apkaime. Spāņu iestādes ziņo, ka atsevišķi mežu ugunsgrēki reģionos ārpus Madrides kopumā ir izpostījuši aptuveni 770 kvadrātkilometrus. Dažos reģionos fiksēta arī ugunsvētru veidošanās, kas ir ekstremāla parādība, kad ugunsgrēka radītais karstums izraisa spēcīgas gaisa plūsmas, kas uztur un pastiprina degšanu. Šādos apstākļos ugunsgrēki var kļūt ievērojami grūtāk kontrolējami, radot papildu apdraudējumu gan glābšanas dienestiem, gan apkārtējām apdzīvotajām vietām. Ugunsgrēku rezultātā ir pieaugušas bažas par gaisa kvalitāti blakusesošajos Spānijas un Francijas reģionos. Abas valstis ir izsludinājušas ārkārtas stāvokli un evakuējušas vairāk nekā 330 000 cilvēku; vairākos reģionos slēgti autoceļi un pārtraukta satiksme. Ugunsgrēku dzēšanā iesaistīti tūkstošiem ugunsdzēsēju, militārpersonu un brīvprātīgo. Francija un Spānija lūgušas palīdzību citām Eiropas Savienības dalībvalstīm, aktivizējot bloka civilās aizsardzības mehānismu. Šī mehānisma ietvaros uz skartajiem reģioniem nosūtītas specializētās ugunsdzēsības lidmašīnas un citu tehnika. Meteorologi norāda, ka ugunsgrēku izplatību veicina ilgstošais karstuma vilnis un sausums, kas pēdējos gados Eiropā vasarās novērojams arvien biežāk. Šī vasara tiek raksturota kā šai ziņā ekstrēma – jūnijs bijis karstākais novērojumu vēsturē. Tiek prognozēts, ka līdzīgi karsta būs arī atlikusī vasaras daļa. Eiropas Komisijas Apvienotais pētījumu centrs jau prognozējis, ka šīs vasaras klimatiskie apstākļi negatīvi ietekmēs graudaugu ražas apjomu. Sagatavoja Eduards Liniņš un Artis Tomsons.

This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund, OcuTrap, and The Community Cat Clinic. Sandra Cagan spent decades in property management before a milestone birthday and a brief human-interest news story about a New York cat cafe sent her in a new direction. She cold-emailed her county commissioner in Lake County, Florida — "You're gonna think I'm crazy, but this is what I want to do" — and had his support within the hour. The Orlando Cat Cafe opened in September 2016 as Florida's first cat cafe, and this year marks its 10th anniversary alongside the Community Cats Podcast's own. Sandra built it as a business first: a full-service cafe rather than packaged snacks, separate AC and filtration systems to keep the cafe and cat areas from cross-contaminating, and a "sweet spot" of about 28 cats at a time in a 1,000-square-foot play area, refreshed weekly by exclusive shelter partner SPCA Florida. All 489 adoptions facilitated last year sent 100% of the fee straight to SPCA Florida — a public-private model she credits partly to a public administration master's she earned during the pandemic. That same pandemic tested her resolve: Florida ordered the cafe closed, and she kept it shut into late July rather than reopen too soon, paying her staff the whole time. Her advice to other cat cafe owners: keep six months of reserves and treat the business like any other, rather than publicly asking for help with basics like a broken AC unit. Ten years in, Sandra has turned that playbook into the country's first cat cafe franchise: 18 months of groundwork, a 500-plus-page operations manual, a $42,750 initial fee, and total investment of roughly $450,000–$650,000 depending on location. She and her team vet franchisees closely and personally scout a shelter partner in every new market, favoring slow, strategic growth — currently focused on the Southeast — over rapid expansion. Press Play Now For: How a milestone birthday, a chance news story, and one bold email led to Florida's first cat cafe Why Sandra runs the cat side and the cafe side as two separate legal entities, with 100% of adoption fees going to her shelter partner The financial cushion and mindset that got the Orlando Cat Cafe through a months-long pandemic shutdown without laying off staff What it actually takes to become an Orlando Cat Cafe franchisee — from a 500-page operations manual to the investment range Why the cats do the matchmaking at the cafe, and how that changes the adoption experience Resources & Links Orlando Cat Cafe: https://www.orlandocatcafe.com Orlando Cat Cafe Franchise: https://www.orlandocatcafefranchise.com SPCA Florida: https://www.spcaflorida.org

The heat continues and the poor sleep does too -- it's just too hot at night. We thought we broke a record yesterday for the highest low temperature ever recorded. Turns out by the end of the day, we only matched it -- 82 degrees. The heat is causing issues for AC units around the area, and fires aren't helping things either. Britt Johnson, KSL NewsRadio reporter and Weber County resident joins Greg and Jim to describe a frightening situation in her own neighborhood yesterday, when homes were evacuated due to a fast-moving brush fire.

This week on KentNow, we're recapping a busy summer in Kent from FIFA updates and August primary ballots to the return of the Unicorn Frappuccino and the latest movies worth seeing. In City Business, we look back on Parks and Recreation Month and all the pop-ups, activities and community moments that made July one to remember. We also talk about the DART Shuttle, a free service connecting residents to shopping, medical appointments, banks, senior housing and more across downtown Kent and the East Hill. Then we sit down with Chief Rafael Padilla and Stacy Judd from the Kent Police Community Education Unit to talk about National Night Out, why it matters, what neighbors can expect and how events like this help build trust and connection across the community. Plus, we've got your Kent event lineup, including summer concerts, kayak and paddleboard rentals at Lake Meridian, School of Rock at Morrill Meadows, a Green Kent work party at Mill Creek Canyon and Cajun and Creole Fest in downtown Kent. And in Did Ya Know, Tracy takes on bedtime procrastination — because apparently humans are really good at delaying sleep for no good reason, especially when it's hot and there's no AC.

In this episode, we talk about: a custody agreement disupte, someone who REALLY wants to control the Air Conditioning temperature, a listener that was walked in on while their partner had a full view of the goods, and someone that really wants IVF twins, despite the medical professionals telling them no.

Los cables de fibra óptica que transportan nuestras comunicaciones pueden tener una segunda vida inesperada: convertirse en miles de sensores capaces de detectar terremotos y tsunamis. Sandra Ruiz Barajas, del Instituto Geográfico Nacional, explica cómo funciona la Detección Acústica Distribuida (DAS), una tecnología que utiliza pulsos láser y las diminutas imperfecciones de la fibra para registrar las deformaciones que experimenta un cable cuando el terreno sobre el que se asienta es sacudido por las ondas sísmicas. Durante la entrevista descubrimos las ventajas y limitaciones de este sistema, los experimentos realizados en líneas ferroviarias y cables submarinos, y su potencial para mejorar los sistemas de alerta temprana frente a terremotos y tsunamis.

Durante la entrevista descubrimos las ventajas y limitaciones de este sistema, los experimentos realizados en líneas ferroviarias y cables submarinos, y su potencial para mejorar los sistemas de alerta temprana frente a terremotos y tsunamis.

Alex separated his AC joint racing the guys after church, and suddenly everything he took for granted with two working arms was gone. That's the whole point of Philippians 3:1-3. Paul is writing to a church being pressured by Judaizers, people telling Gentile believers they had to become Jewish before they could become Christian. Paul calls it what it is: dogs, evildoers, mutilators of the flesh.In this episode we walk through why confidence in the flesh grieves God and isn't safe for you, five problems with trusting what you can do, and three ways to actually rely on God instead. Plus the line that ties it all together: joy comes from reliance, not restraint.Alex and Lokelani also talk about how false teachers keep people locked in, why the “better version of yourself” message is not the gospel, and the very easy test for whether a Christian influencer is putting their confidence in the flesh or in Christ.Part of the Stress Less series through Philippians.CHAPTERS0:00 I broke my shoulder racing after church2:20 Who the Judaizers were (Acts 10, 11, 15)5:30 Reading Philippians 3:1-36:15 It grieves God13:00 It isn't safe for you13:35 Dogs, evildoers, and those who mutilate the flesh17:00 Five problems with confidence in the flesh25:40 How to actually rely on God27:50 Joy comes from reliance, not restraint31:00 The physical can never reach the spiritual35:15 So what gives you confidence?37:40 After the Amen44:45 How false teachers keep people hooked48:50 The iPad I destroyed for no reason53:45 How to spot confidence in the flesh onlineamenpodcast.com This is a public episode.

In 2019, I joined a group of students from Texas Tech on a five-day bikepacking trip through Big Bend Ranch State Park. That trip is where I met Anna Claire. On the morning of day two, she and I sat down to record Episode 6 of the Bikes or Death Podcast. That conversation provides important context for today's episode, as it showcases AC's longstanding love for Big Bend. We play a clip from it in today's show, but the full episode is worth a listen if you want to join us on a journey through Big Bend in a pre-COVID world. Fast-forward seven years. Anna Claire is now a resident of Terlingua, Texas, which sits on the doorstep of both Big Bend Ranch State Park and Big Bend National Park. As a result, she has had a front-row seat to the border-wall activity happening throughout the region. A full-time photographer and passionate lover of the outdoors, especially Big Bend, Anna Claire couldn't sit idly by. She picked up her camera and began documenting what was happening. It wasn't long before a coalition of residents and allies joined her to form No Big Bend Wall, a nonprofit organization established to inform, educate, and fight the construction of a border wall in Big Bend. While today's episode deviates from our typical bikepacking fare, it does so for a very real and important reason. Our public lands are under attack. We as trail users, outdoorsmen, and adventurers are able to enjoy these places because public lands were protected by those who came before us. Throughout history, when those lands have come under threat, coalitions have formed to defend them. Now it is our turn. Today's episode isn't about politics. It is about one of our nation's most sacred outdoor sanctuaries being under attack. Big Bend needs you right now. In this episode, Anna Claire breaks down some of the misinformation circulating online. We discuss the real-world implications of the proposed wall, explore alternative solutions, and provide tangible ways you can take action to help preserve Big Bend and keep it unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.

Most electric vehicles spend nearly all of their lives parked, doing nothing. But under the hood of those idle cars, a massive store of energy sits untapped. The Kia EV9, for instance, holds a 100-kilowatt-hour battery—which is equivalent to about seven home backup batteries—just waiting to be utilized. Yet despite this enormous potential, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology has remained mostly limited to small-scale pilot programs for decades. But with advanced tech hitting the market, that could soon change. In this episode, Shayle sits down with Steve Letendre, senior advisor at the Vehicle-Grid Integration Council and editor of V2G News, to explore why the V2G revolution is finally moving from concept to reality. They break down the technical battle between AC and DC architectures, tackle the looming questions around battery degradation and warranties, and debate the business models that will finally convince everyday drivers to plug their cars back into the grid. Shayle and Steve discuss topics like: - The unused energy capacity hidden in parked EVs - The technical debate, cost trade-offs, and hardware differences between off-board power conversion (DC architecture) and on-board power conversion (AC architecture). - Current compatible EV options, including the Nissan Leaf, Tesla Cybertruck, Ford F-150 Lightning, and Kia EV9 - The high upfront cost of V2G systems - Consumers' fears regarding whether discharging power to the grid will ruin their EV batteries or void manufacturer warranties. - Streamlining the V2G enrollment process via VPP programs or at point-of-sale - How financing can unlock mass V2G adoption Resources Catalyst: Repurposing EV batteries for grid storage Catalyst: How China is reshaping the global auto market Catalyst: Enter the electric supercycle Latitude Media: Electric Era is turning its EV-charging tech into a data center power play Latitude Media: The future of optimized EV charging Credits: Hosted by Shayle Kann.

Muchos conductores piensan que la batería de un coche eléctrico es como el depósito de gasolina: lo llenas, lo vacías y vuelta a empezar. Sin embargo, una batería de litio es un ecosistema químico vivo. Cada vez que cargamos y descargamos, movemos iones, y ese movimiento genera desgaste y calor. En este vídeo desvelamos la guía definitiva para cuidar la batería de tu coche eléctrico, reducir su degradación al mínimo y evitar que te cueste una fortuna a largo plazo. El "Efecto Buffet": El estrés del 100% Imagina que vas a un buffet libre. Si comes hasta no poder más, te sientes pesado y tu cuerpo sufre. Si no comes nada, te desmayas. A las baterías les pasa exactamente lo mismo. El estrés químico máximo ocurre cuando están totalmente llenas o vacías. La regla de oro sigue siendo mantener el nivel de energía en el rango del 20% al 80%. Mantener el coche en este intervalo de "confort" puede llegar a triplicar los ciclos de vida de las celdas. Carga al 100% únicamente cuando vayas a emprender un viaje largo. Los Tres Enemigos de la Batería Para alargar la vida útil, es fundamental combatir tres factores letales: -El Calor Extremo: Las baterías odian el calor. Por encima de los 45°C, la química interna se degrada de forma irreversible. El mejor consejo es aparcar a la sombra y, tras un viaje largo en verano, dejar que el coche repose unos minutos antes de enchufarlo. -Abuso de la Carga Rápida (DC): Es maravillosa para viajar, pero usarla a diario es como inyectarle cafeína pura al coche. Utilizar cargadores ultrarrápidos habitualmente puede aumentar la degradación de tu batería hasta un 50% en comparación con la carga lenta en casa. -El Estado de Carga (SoC) en reposo: Si te vas de vacaciones y dejas el coche parado durante semanas, nunca lo dejes al 100% ni al 5%. Lo ideal es dejarlo al 50%; es el punto de reposo perfecto para las celdas. Hábitos de Carga y su Impacto a 10 años Tus rutinas determinan cuánta vida perderá tu coche en una década: - Carga Lenta (AC) / Rango 20-80%: Es la situación ideal. Ofrece un estado de salud estimado del 91% tras diez años. - Carga Lenta (AC) / Rango 0-100%: Aumenta el desgaste extra en un 15% (salud estimada del 84%). - Carga Rápida frecuente: Genera un 30% de desgaste extra (salud estimada del 76%). - Carga Ultra-rápida (-250 kW) diaria: Supone un enorme 45% de desgaste adicional, dejando la salud de la batería por debajo del 70%. El Secreto de la Longevidad Si queremos que nuestra batería dure cientos de miles de kilómetros, debemos imitar a los satélites de la NASA o a los usuarios que ya han superado el medio millón de kilómetros. Sus grandes secretos son limitar los extremos de carga y evitar las aceleraciones fuertes en frío. Pedirle máxima potencia a un coche a 0°C genera picos de resistencia interna letales para el litio. Consejos Clave Resumidos - Limita la carga al 80% en el menú de tu vehículo para el uso diario. - Prioriza la carga lenta (AC) a 7 kW o 11 kW en casa. - Usa la gestión térmica o el pre-acondicionamiento antes de ir a un cargador rápido en invierno. - Conduce con fluidez, evitando los picos de descarga bruscos y aprovechando la frenada regenerativa. - Instala siempre las actualizaciones de software, ya que optimizan constantemente la protección de las celdas.

En este episodio platicamos de la microbiota menos famosa: la de nuestra piel. Esta tiene muchas funciones chidas, como mantener la barrera de la piel, vincularse con el sistema inmune y trabajar con él, protegernos de otros microorganismos patógenos y ayudar a curar las heridas. También tiene que ver con que nuestra piel se vea más joven, y con nuestra microbiota intestinal. Pero cuando esta microbiota cutánea no está en balance, llegan enfermedades como el eczema, el acné, la psoriasis y la dermatitis seborreica. Acá te platicamos de todo lo bueno y lo malo.

Tiff and Kristy address why the doctor (or the practice lead or the OM) always end up getting sucked back in to answer questions they shouldn't have to. The pair also gives solutions on how to curb this automatic approach, including establishing clarity, providing the right resources, and being patient when things go wrong. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review   Transcript: Tiffanie (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. I am back here with you on the podcast. I love being here. I love what we get to do, and I love more than any of that podcasting with Kristy. And I hope that you guys have taken the time to get to know Kristy, that you've seen her on other podcasts, but also that you maybe have chosen to work with her. She's got some incredible clients. Kristy is full right now in the in the the   recording of this podcast, but she is really awesome at sneaking in some room there too. We do take advantage of that sometimes. So Kristy, thank you for being here. If they don't know you, I hope they go and figure out who you are. They go scope you if you get some more Instagram follow requests or wherever you're at, just know that's my fault. So good morning Kristy. How are you today?   DAT- Kristy (00:49) Good morning. It's a good morning. I love starting my day, actually starting my week and getting our time together because so many times we don't we don't get to work with each other. So yeah.   Tiffanie (00:54) Yeah.   I know. I agree.   I agree. We have like one half hour a month that we pre schedule to make sure that we can connect. but I love that I do get my podcasting time with you guys too. There's more consultants now, so it's spread out a little bit thinner. but when I when I can, I love getting my time with you ladies. So thank you. Thank you for making this easy on me. I'm actually really excited for this   Topic today. And just so you guys, you listeners, know the topics, they come from the marketing does a lot of research. Our marketing company, our marketing team within our company, does a lot of research on what some hot topics might be, what dentistry is going through right now, kind of just different areas and different facets of life. And so they do come up with some incredible, incredible topics that we love to spin off of.   And with that, if there's ever anything that you guys are experiencing in your world, I want you to know Hello@TheDentalATeam.com is the easiest place to reach out to us or on our website, TheDentalATeam.com. There's a little like chat with us. You can reach out to us and let us know what you're experiencing. We are more than happy to help dive into your cases and kind of figure out what it is. But also that leads to some great podcast topics as well. So if there are things that you want to hear more of.   or less of, by all means, please reach out to us, let us know what your thoughts are, because we'd be happy to add some things into the mix as well. So, Kristy, with that said, I'm really excited for today's topic. I think that this is something that no matter what time of year it is, is relevant. And I know that we work with a lot of leaders, a lot of CEO dentists, a lot of owners, a lot of leadership teams, office managers, regional managers.   DSOs, like we work with a slew of ranges within the dental industry. And something that I think consistently comes back for all of us. And I think Kristy, you and I actually experience this with the level and the size of practices that we get. We experience it quite a bit. And we've experienced it in our own company. Kiera, I love you. We've experienced this a lot in our own company of   DAT- Kristy (03:12) Ha ha ha.   Tiffanie (03:16) not knowing where to go for a decision, so you go to the person that you know can make the decision, I guess is the best way to say it. And we've got a lot of doctors that sit in a dental chair, right? They're in their chair and they've got a drill in a hand and a mirror in a hand and their loops on their head and they're drilling. And they've got somebody in the background asking them where they order their paper from, right? Or something, right? Like the the plumber. Well what plumber should I call? Because the   Toilets plugs. Like I there's a ridiculous amount of questions that are going on behind the doctor. and it and Kristy, the conversation today is is that the right person? Right? And why? Because I think we both get this question from our doctors, why are they asking them? Right? I my doctors are constantly like, Why me? Why me? Like, well, you're really special, right? Like they   I trust you so much. You're just so special. And a lot of it's self-created. We can dive into that. But when we're when we're really truly looking at the end all be all, and you've got your dentist and you've got your CEO, you've got your your different positions within the practice, what are the most common reasons or let's go off of one, Kristy, that you see most frequently? Why is the dentist the one that they go to?   DAT- Kristy (04:13) Yeah.   Yeah. I love this topic as well, Tiff. And I think just for clarity, this can even work for your your practice leads or OM, you know, a lot of times, I I I told you earlier in one of our podcasts that we create our own problems. And I believe that a lot of times this is our own creation too. Again, not not by choice, you know what I mean? But we have to paint clarity.   Tiffanie (04:47) Absolutely.   DAT- Kristy (05:08) We have to paint clarity for our team on what things they are free to handle and what things you want coming to you. You know, number one, paint that clarity. And then number two, give them the resources to do it. I'm gonna try to remember the saying, but it it goes something about, you know, our job as leaders is to know how few decisions we have to make truly in a day. And maybe that's scary, right? That's a scary thought, but   Tiffanie (05:16) Yeah.   DAT- Kristy (05:37) Truly, as the leader, I think you have to paint that vision for your teams and then just continue to reinforce that. Because a lot of times your team's gonna have better answers than you do, even. So clarity, yeah, one hundred percent. Clarity number one. Clarity number one for sure.   Tiffanie (05:51) Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And resources.   Yeah.   And I think within that making sure that you have clarity on what w the directions that you're going for one thing, right? Like what how do I make this decision? Because I'm I'm making this decision based on on the end goal for the practice, but also clarity within every job that's within the practice. Like who who would make this decision if not the dentist? So when or if not for for us it would be if not Kiera, right? And I think that's   One, it's very easy to see. It's easy for us to see. So it's easy for us to speak to that within our own company. And then we get the luxury of seeing it within dental practices to speak to that. But just truly know, like you said, it it works for every leader in the practice office managers or whatever. But you guys, this is transferable to any business structure because, you know, unbeknownst to you, you own a business. And so your business structure is not dentistry.   Your business structure is business. And when we can realize that and take the dentistry out of the business and let the business be a business, I think that's where you guys really truly will thrive. You get so lost in trying to make dentistry the business, but dentistry is what you're doing. You're providing dentistry. The business has to stand outside of the dentistry. They can't   Dentistry can't be the business anymore. Maybe a long time ago it could. And you know, maybe you're in your grandfather's practice and your di your father was there and you've inherited some routines and some systems, but the world is different in 2026 and whatever future year you're listening to this in, the world is different, and you have to be able to separate those things. And Kristy, that's I think where that clarity comes in is the business.   Where is the business going? Because the dentistry is gonna be dentistry and the dentistry is gonna follow the trends of dental. we're gonna, you know, we're gonna get all the tech, we're gonna get all of those things, but where is the business going so that the dentistry can still happen is huge. And having the clarity around that and the clarity around who would make this decision if not the owner is huge. And to your point, that's where the leads come in, the office manager and like if you're   If you need a plumber, right? Dentists, owners, if you're the one who has to make that decision, go back to Kristy's first comment. Like, what dis what decisions do I need to make? Is it the most important decision of your day to figure out which plumber, which AC repair guy, which I don't know, carpet cleaner? Like, is that a decision that you want to make and need to make? And Kristy, I think that's where that space of like, no, actually, this would be my manager.   or this would be our clinical director, that that has to be stated and clear so that an office manager or a dental assistant knows who do I go to.   DAT- Kristy (09:01) One hundred percent and document those things. I mean, maybe you do have a doctor that's like, My brother's the plumber, so we always call my brother. Then have a list of those items with the numbers and who to contact, you know. But yeah, and to your point too, Tiff, I think so many times we don't create the space for our doctors or leaders to have these conversations. Like running down the hall in between patients is never.   the time to do it. I mean doctors say yes to so many things they would not have said yes to just because it's like you know right there and I have to handle it but truly block time to have discussions that are truly the things that need to come to doctor to make the decision. But also as leaders watch how you preface the question. You know I need to call a plumber. This is what I was thinking. You know   Tiffanie (09:35) Mm-hmm.   Yeah. Yeah.   DAT- Kristy (09:58) And and then to that point too, Tiff, painting the clarity. If you have a a go-to that you want, make sure that that's vocalized. But then also going back to leaders, how many times do we just answer the question versus asking our team members, what do you think? And I know I hear this day in and day out. It's faster just to do it myself, right? It's faster to do it myself.   But I think it was you, Tiff, that told me choose your hard. And it's Britt. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Choose your hard. And the time you take in the very beginning to train your team, this is how we do it, will go so much further in the long run. So give your team the opportunity to answer the question because then you're you're making them think for themselves and not rely on you.   Tiffanie (10:31) It's Britt. Britt told everyone, but I love that. I use it all the time.   DAT- Kristy (10:57) Again, going back to us creating our own problems, when we answer for our for them, you're not you're not letting them rise to the occasion and grow to the level that you're looking for.   Tiffanie (11:08) Yeah.   I completely agree. And I think this is something that's so relatable for parents. because in my opinion, I say this a lot, and I think we are people are people and we learn the way we learn, we we hear the way we le we hear and we can grow. We do grow and we physically grow, but at the bottom of it all, we're still people. And when we again like when we treat things so differently, we think, they're adults, they should   They should know why. I have so many dentists, by the way, who have said that to me, or so many office managers that's like, why do I need to spell this out? They're an adult. Why don't they just know? And I'm like, because they're trying to figure out what you want. They're not trying to figure out how to solve this. Because if it were outside of your dental practice and they were at home, or if they were on the side of this side of the street in a broke down car, they would figure it out. They're not, they're not incapable. They don't know what you want.   And so trying to figure out what someone else wants, trying to intuit the right answer when you have not enough direction to know, but you're trying to please, you're trying to do it correct, you're trying to not ruin a business with a plumber decision, you're gonna just ask the person. And when you just answer, just like a parent, if I just answer every single time, am I giving Brody the space to grow and to learn things on his own when he was little? He   used to get frustrated with me, then he kinda he kinda just learned that I was always gonna say it. He would say, Mom mom, how, you know, how did they do this? How did they build that? How did they and he's in the backseat of the car just seeing everything. Mom mom, how did they, how did they, how did they? And I would say, buddy, what do you think? And he'd just come up with these incredible ways that they built the building, that they put the traffic lights in, that they, you know, and I'm like, gosh, that's really smart. Do you also think that   And within that thought process of how do we grow our children to become positive parts of humanity, right? And independent to go live on their own and add value to the world. We're doing the same thing for our team members. So if we want our team members to be a valuable piece of humanity and add positive impact to our business, we have to grow them.   DAT- Kristy (13:14) Indeed. Yeah. And yeah.   Tiffanie (13:34) and allow them the space to grow in the same capacity that we do our own children. Otherwise they're gonna stay with us forever. Right? If I always clean up after the kids, they're gonna have messy houses later, right? And I'm gonna go over to their home and I'm gonna be like, what the heck? What did I did I teach you nothing? No, I taught you that I'll clean it.   DAT- Kristy (13:38) Yeah.   Yeah.   Yeah. Tiff, I love that you talk about that. I know you just have Brody, but you also have some significant others in your life. But I remember even with my son and daughter, I thought my secondborn wasn't gonna talk. And it wasn't that he wasn't gonna talk, it's because my daughter was talking for him. And so many parents can relate to that. And so your analogy is like spot on. But also I you know, I want leaders to hear this loud and clear.   Tiffanie (13:58) Mm-hmm.   Yeah.   DAT- Kristy (14:21) They're gonna get it wrong. They're gonna get it wrong and they're gonna do it different than you. But please give them the space to do it because so many times it goes back to your Brody's mind. They can be more brilliant than we are. I'll never forget the story. I had a colleague t talk to me about buying a copier. The dentist was gonna go get this y you you probably remember back in the days the big Pitney bows, like I mean, it was on, it was a cart on wheels thing, you know.   Tiffanie (14:22) Mm-hmm.   They're huge. Yeah. Wheels, yup.   DAT- Kristy (14:50) Yeah, and they were spendy like a lot of money and he was gonna go buy this. And then actually what happened is he did buy it and the team wasn't using it and he was very, very upset. So then it taught him a valuable lesson that the next time that copier went out, he went to them and asked them the features that they wanted, or better yet, just give them a budget to work within and let them go buy it themselves, right? Because   So many times, doctors, we try to make those decisions or as leaders, we try to make those decisions. we're gonna cut back our hours. you're gonna work this time to this time. You know what? Just put it out to your team. This is what we're doing. We need to fill these hours. What what can you guys come up with? And nine times out of ten, they're gonna come up s with something better than we can as leaders.   Tiffanie (15:42) Yeah, and Kristy, to your point, I think the copy machine is is brilliant. That's a brilliant thought process because on the flip side of that, our dentists right now, our owners are going, Yeah, but he was trying to do he was he got the best of the best to do the best thing for the team. He's trying to he's trying to do something. And so many of our our leaders come back to us and they're like, gosh, I'm just not appreciated. They don't care that I put so much time and energy into picking out   the best copying machine that had the best features and was going to save them time and it was going to do all these things for them and they didn't even use it. They don't care. And it's not that they don't care, right? It's not that our kids don't care that we slave over dinner every night and then do the dishes and then make sure that their laundry is done. Like they don't, it's not that they don't care. It's that they don't there's not value and appreciation on it because they don't know what they don't know the value of it. And when they go and they're able to go   Do the research and find the coffee machine that they want, they're like, this is really cool. I'm gonna use it. Thank you so much, Doc, for allowing us to get this. Right. And I think it goes back to like a goes back to compliments, right? It feels so much better to give a compliment than to receive a compliment. And when you receive something, somebody's like, here, use this coffee machine. You're like, cool, thanks. Like, I don't know how to respond to that, right? Like, okay, thank you.   DAT- Kristy (16:47) Yep.   Tiffanie (17:07) But when you're like, my gosh, we found the best copy machine. This is gonna save us so much time. This is gonna be incredible. They're actually gonna use it.   DAT- Kristy (17:15) Yeah, I love that you make that statement because Tiff, we believe in meeting with our teams one-on-one. And I love the feedback loop, like reinforce the things that are good. So when your team does get it right, recognize it. What gets rewarded gets repeated, I like to say. And the things that maybe need guidance or development when they do miss the mark, approach it with curiosity instead of like, what the heck were you thinking? Why did you do that?   Hey, out of curiosity, Tiff, will you share with me how did you come up with that decision? You know, and then use it as an opportunity to guide the outcome. So again, if it was my blood, my brother is the plumber and that's who I wanted you to call, can you share with me how you made the decision to call ABC plumbing? You know, where did you come up with that? And then re guide them to the outcome you're looking for. So that feedback is is critical. Yeah.   Tiffanie (18:11) I agree.   DAT- Kristy (18:12) And I don't   know a team member that walks in the door and says, I wanna make my doctor's life hell today, you know? So   Tiffanie (18:17) Yes, I agree. I agree.   And the way you said the curiosity of like tell me, tell me how we got here. And there's been so many times, Kristy, even just like with Brody, but with team members too, where I've said, tell me more about that. Like help me understand. Because my brain is my brain is focused on what I thought the outcome was going to be and what it should have been. And if I stay stuck there, you're wrong no matter what. But when I go in with curiosity and I say   DAT- Kristy (18:43) Yeah.   Tiffanie (18:46) Tell me more. Like, I want to know that side. Oftentimes, I would say at least 80% of the time, I'm like, cool. Actually, yeah, let's try it. Like, great, that's not what I thought I would have done, but I love that option. Let's explore it. But when we go in so hard with the like, you're wrong, you didn't make the decision I wanted you to, again, back to the beginning, it is nearly impossible to make a spot on decision based on what.   DAT- Kristy (18:54) Okay, yeah. Yeah.   Tiffanie (19:16) some like intuitively knowing what someone wants you to actually do. It's so hard.   DAT- Kristy (19:20) Yeah, too.   I was gonna say to your point with that, going back to that too, is we could actually shut down our team with those remarks because it's like, what were you thinking? Now I'm like fearful to even try to make a decision, you know, so thing.   Tiffanie (19:29) Hands down.   Okay.   And I'm gonna come to you with everything. Ever the pencil   that I order is gonna come to you because I never want to feel like that again. Immediately my brain is gonna say, Well, never gonna feel like that again. So we're gonna do the polar opposite of what I just did. We're gonna overcompensate and now you're going to be making every minor decision possible in this company.   DAT- Kristy (19:56) Yeah, one hundred percent. It seems so easy and I mean I wish it was that easy, but truly slow down and and ask a question and approach from curiosity, it's gonna get you a lot further for sure.   Tiffanie (20:10) Totally agree. Yeah. So actionable pieces. I hope you guys loved this as much as we loved doing it. Kristy, I know I am like I could I could do this one for hours. So I love the psychological pieces of it and communication is I think both of our jam. So I know we can go on forever. Actionable items, I would say job descriptions, clear job descriptions and roles. I think decision trees and and also organizational charts. So who   DAT- Kristy (20:20) Yeah.   Tiffanie (20:40) is responsible for what that goes into your job description as well, but who can I go to? Like who's my next in line that would be able to get me this answer? And then learning how to have that positive feedback and being in the question. Like how how can you ask more questions to understand rather than being in the decision already and judging? Kristy, anything you can think of that I missed there within those actionable pieces?   DAT- Kristy (21:06) No, Tiff, truly not. I just think it's a muscle that we have to work. And I will also say, like, my greatest performing teams have developed this type of hierarchy, if you will say, because it helped and it tethers the team to them. It really does. So if you don't want team turnover, you're allowing your people to grow in a way that that   Tiffanie (21:24) Yeah, I agree.   DAT- Kristy (21:31) They need to grow and they want to grow. And when you master this skill of 'cause it really is a skill set, when you master it, it's a win win all the way around.   Tiffanie (21:43) Totally agree. I completely agree. Thank you, Kristy. And I know you work on this with all of the leaders that you work with because whether you're really great at it or not, there's always room for growth, there's room for better understanding, and there's room for revisiting. We are huge, huge proponents of relearning and going back to the things that work to get you where you are, and then also integrating and implementing and changing new policies and procedures. So I love it. Thank you, Kristy, so much for being here with us today. listeners.   When you decided that you loved this, I hope you went and you clicked that five star and gave us a nice review.

Adam and Dave go deep with the Boardroom after a 2 week break ShowNotes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00 - PODPING GOSSIP-WRITER → PRODUCTION + INDEX PLUMBING ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01 - THE OPEN INDEX TURNS UP INSIDE AN AI SCRAPER (SUNO) @js flagged it: a hack at Suno reveals the AI music generator used PodcastIndex to do its targeting — "with the help of an online tool called PodcastIndex, Suno identified 420,000 different podcasts that had at least five 30-minute episodes and sought to download roughly 1 million hours of podcasts." Board question: the Index exists to be "free, for any use" — and here "any use" is an AI company bulk-harvesting a million hours to train on. Is that the deal working as designed, or does anything change? A live test of the open-index ethos. Ties straight to the on-device/namespace fight below and to the spam/AI-slop lane — the same extraction pressure from three directions.

Your own post set it off: Adam — Apple in talks to run a startup's compressed AI models on-device (PrisMML) — "More fodder for on-device features vs new tags." The core board fight of the week.

As a MaxFunDrive milestone goal, we set the challenge that if we got enough new/upgrading/joining supporters of Maximum Film!, one of those folks would get to pick a movie for us to do an episode on. Well, thanks to supporters like Molly, we hit that goal, and this episode is the result: PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE (one of Molly's faves) is a 1974 rock musical fantasmagoria from early in writer/director Brian DePalma's career. It's box-office flop-turned cult classic. And it is heavily reliant on the dubious cultural power of songwriter and actor Paul Williams.   As if this episode needed to be MORE special, we also mark the mid-year by naming some of our favorite films of the year so far.
