This week on "BETA," we're taking a look back at some of our favorite TV and film personalities. Bob Odenkirk will join us to talk about his well-known character, Saul Goodman. And we'll explore the creative and personal life of film director David Lynch with biographer Christine McKenna. Also, we'll spend some time with Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker.

We don't have a new episode for you this week, but we'll be back next Thursday to find out what happens in part two of Kiss of a Killer! In the meantime, there's someone we'd like to introduce you to... It's a whole new era at Pi Beta Alpha! Part Lila, part Jessica and possibly part Margo, Caitlin's a raven haired beauty at an elite boarding school (the least said about the history of said school the better), where she apparently controls the students through sheer magnetic charisma. What Caitlin wants, Caitlin gets - and now she wants rootin' tootin' newcomer Jed Michaels. In the first part of the first book in the Loving trilogy, Caitlin sets her cunning plans in motion...

Episodio 333.Vivimos en tiempos muy idiotas aquí en Guava city. Imagínense a Brad Pitt con sus regulaciones de botines llegando con su camionetica y sus orejas putas, muy bonito, pero muy inútil. Todo esto es nuevo, esto no estaba planificado y en unos renders se ve asqueroso y en otros se ve interesante.

Eric, Dave, and Marty speak about the new VisionOS 26 developer beta, talk about a potential YouTube app, and review Gurman's AVP/Meta comparison. NEWS this week Beta 8 came out today:https://developer.apple.com/documentation/visionos-release-notes/visionos-26-release-notes What's new from beta 7 → beta 8Release/build only: Beta 8 arrived Aug 25, 2025 as 23M5332a (beta 7 was Aug 18 as 23M5328a). Apple doesn't list any additional new features, APIs, or headline-level changes for beta 8 beyond the build bump. Tooling: The latest posted tools are still Xcode 26 beta 6 (17A5305f) from Aug 18; no newer Xcode dropped alongside beta 8. Practical takeFor users: Treat beta 8 as a stability/bug-fix pass—no Apple-documented user-facing additions over beta 7. For developers: Re-run regressions on areas you touched for beta 7 (e.g., CompositorServices hover/immersion behavior, ARKit Accessory Tracking, RealityKit popover/presentation components, RemoteImmersiveSpace stability, StoreKit's new promo-offer APIs). Those were the substantive changes in beta 7 and remain the focus with beta 8.

This week's Red Dirt Agronomy Podcast takes us to the heart of innovation in Kansas agriculture. We caught up with Ray Flickner at High Plains Journal Live, where he shared how his fifth-generation farm blends heritage with high-tech. From running three crops in two years to using cover crops for weed suppression and soil health, Ray's flexible and moisture-conscious approach proves that success isn't about rigid rules—it's about adapting with intent.The highlight? A deep dive into the Rain360 system—a mobile irrigation rig that's helping Ray make the most of limited water across irregular fields. It's not just talk; he's cutting water use by 40% compared to local averages. If you're farming in the Southern Plains or just looking for fresh ideas, this episode delivers practical, tested insights you can take straight to the field.Key Takeaways Ray Flickner farms 1,000 acres with a strong focus on irrigation efficiency and strip tilling.He operates with limited livestock in a region where integrating animals is logistically difficult.Ray uses wheat as a functional cover crop to maintain soil health and “living roots.”Cover crop termination timing is critical and must be adapted to seasonal moisture.Rain360 is a mobile, above-ground irrigation system designed for irregular fields and low water flow.The system can deliver both water and nutrients precisely where they're needed.Subsurface drip irrigation has helped Ray reduce water usage by approximately 40%.Strategic use of irrigation timing and moisture sensors boosts efficiency.The farm serves as a demonstration site for innovative irrigation practices.Ray's adaptive management style reflects a balance between innovation and practicality.Timestamps00:03:06 – Introduction to Ray Flickner and his background00:04:25 – Ray's family farm history and crop rotation strategy00:07:04 – Strip tilling advantages and fertilizer placement00:08:32 – Managing three crops in two years with limited moisture00:10:58 – Cover crop strategies and moisture-driven termination decisions00:14:41 – Installing and operating the Rain360 irrigation system00:20:00 – Water efficiency challenges with limited aquifer access00:26:49 – Beta testing setbacks and successes with new irrigation tech00:30:26 – Subsurface drip irrigation's impact on sustainability00:31:47 – Closing thoughts and reflections on farming innovation   RedDirtAgronomy.com

¡Seguimos con Foundation en su apasionante tercera temporada en Apple TV+! En este programa analizamos el séptimo episodio, un capítulo absolutamente demoledor donde el pasado del Mule por fin sale a la luz… y lo cambia todo. Comentamos su historia de origen, marcada por la traición más cruel posible: unos padres que planean matarlo para salvar a su otro hijo. Una infancia destrozada por una ley de la Fundación que le enseñó que el amor es condicional, que solo sobrevive el que no molesta. Y así nace el mayor enemigo de la Fundación, no con hambre de conquista… sino con una necesidad desesperada de ser amado. Repasamos la brutal caída de New Terminus, un ataque que no se libra con armas, sino con manipulación mental y rendiciones vergonzosas. Hablamos también de la desintegración emocional del Hermano Despunte, que, al borde de su expiración, empieza a perder el juicio y amenaza con activar el arma más peligrosa del Imperio: el naviculador. Sin Día ni Amanecer para frenarlo… ¿quién queda? Nos detenemos además en la decisión de Torren, que arriesga su vida por salvar a Beta en una escena tan emotiva como intensa, y el inesperado acto de valentía de Pritcher, que decide no huir, sino quedarse y luchar contra el Mule, a sabiendas de que probablemente no sobreviva. También ponemos la lupa en el Hermano Día, atrapado en Mogen, enfrentándose a sus inseguridades, sus traumas y al rechazo de quienes no ven en él más que una copia sin alma. Y en Demerzel, cuyo silencio empieza a hablar más alto que cualquier palabra. ¿Nos ha contado el Mule toda la verdad… o solo lo que quiere que creamos? ¿Está el Imperio a punto de colapsar desde dentro? ¿Y qué nuevas fuerzas aparecerán para llenar el vacío de poder?

The world our kids are growing up in is changing at lightning speed, and the church must be ready. In this episode of Kids Ministry Calling, Jana Magruder and her guests take us into a forward-looking conversation about the next generation, Generation Beta, and the unique challenges and opportunities that come with discipling their families. As we reflect on the shifting landscape of culture, technology, and faith, we are reminded that our calling as ministry leaders has never been more important.Shelly Melia serves as the Program Director for the Master of Arts in Children's Ministry and the Master of Arts in Family Ministry at Dallas Baptist University. Prior to coming to DBU she served for over 25 years in children's and family ministry in Oklahoma, Florida, and Texas. Dr. Melia is also a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in grief and resilience. She holds an undergraduate degree from Oklahoma Baptist University, two master's degrees from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Philosophy from B.H. Carroll Theological Institute.This discussion explores how emerging technologies, including AI, are influencing parenting styles and reshaping family life. Special guest Shelly Melia offers deep insights into the challenges Gen Z faces in discerning truth in a digital world saturated with misinformation, emphasizing the church's vital role in pointing them toward God's Word as the source of absolute truth. This episode also highlights how discipleship strategies must adapt to focus on authentic relationships, meaningful rituals, and creating space for honest questions and doubts. With intergenerational collaboration, curiosity, and intentionality, ministry leaders can provide the supportive environment children and youth need to grow strong in their faith. If you found this conversation helpful, we'd love for you to rate, review, and share this episode so more ministry leaders can join the conversation. Together, let's continue building ministries that not only meet the needs of today but also shape the faith of tomorrow.SHOW LINKS: Connect with Dr. Shelly MeliaJoin us for ETCH 2025.

We went to Casa Bonita to support our friend and Free Speech Warrior, Eric Cartman. However, that got overshadowed by the announcement of the fucking Homestuck cartoon that neither of us wants to watch but feel compelled to talk about. Notes: The Vivziepop Homestuck Menu, The Stupids Karmic Punishment, Diddy Ahh Jollymon, Walkaround Comic Book Guys, A24oz Presents Ne ZhA&W Brew: Root-vesti-beer of the Slobs, Kidney Confusion, Wattofield 6 Beta, Respeto Airline, Connie Conehead, Taco Bell Voidout, Grocery Store Mindsets, Fake Movies Guys, The Goonsiders, Of Mice and Dasha, Pizza Detectives, Na'vi Pastafarians, Goon Moments and Aura,  Rizzler Hardees Burger

Marty discusses changes and additions in the newly released mVisionOS26 developer beta 7Today's Pronote: visionOS 26 Beta 7 Release Noteshttps://developer.apple.com/documentation/visionos-release-notes/visionos-26-release-notesIf you were hoping for shiny new features… this one's about polish, not pop.For Vision Pro users, beta 7 doesn't add anything you'll immediately notice. Your day-to-day feels like beta 6. The same small quirks are still listed in the notes— occasional rough edges with Mac Virtual Display, and a few Safari oddities. Bottom line: if you're just looking to use the headset, this build is about stability, not new toys.No Jupiter environment and No curved panoramic Virtual displaysFor developers, there is one new callout: Apple flags a Memory Tools known issue where leak detectors can falsely report leaks in some Swift/Objective-C bridged cases. Translation: if your leak graph suddenly lights up after updating, take a breath—it might be the tools, not your app. Otherwise, the dev sections largely mirror beta 6—ARKIt, Metal, RemoteImmersiveSpace, StoreKit/SwiftUI—steady as she goes.Users: install if you want polish; don't expect features.Devs: keep testing, but treat new “leaks” with suspicion and focus on regression passes.What's new for Vision Pro usersNo newly announced features or UI changes.Experience should feel the same as beta 6.A few small quirks still listed (e.g., occasional Mac Virtual Display edge artifacts; some Safari behavior).Practical tip: If you were happy on beta 6, beta 7 is safe for polish; don't install just to chase features.What's new for developersMemory Tools: Possible false leak positives after updating—validate before refactoring.Most framework notes (ARKit, Metal, RemoteImmersiveSpace, StoreKit/SwiftUI) are effectively unchanged from beta 6.Good week for regression testing and performance measurements rather than API exploration.Email: ThePodTalkNetwork@gmail.com. Website: ThePodTalk.Net

O modelo elimina as praças de pedágio e faz a cobrança de forma automática e proporcional à distância percorrida, usando tecnologia de reconhecimento de placas, sensores e integração digital. No episódio de hoje do Podcast Canaltech, conversamos com Pedro Hermano, CEO da Movvia, sobre o momento atual do free flow no Brasil, os desafios de tecnologia e interoperabilidade e o impacto prático para motoristas e concessionárias.

Sony is a many-tendrilled corporation, which can be both a blessing and a curse. But in fully leveraging all that the wider company does well, it seems they're closer than ever to achieving the "One Sony" goal from years and decades past. Enter Physint (sometimes typed PHYSINT, for some reason), a Hideo Kojima-led project revealed last year as a mysterious cross-pollination between PlayStation and Sony Pictures, one that appears to go into a distinctly Metal Gear Solid-like direction. With Death Stranding 2 now in the past, Kojima is confirmed to be working on Physint itself, presumably for PlayStation 6, which raises some questions, like: What will the game be like? When will it come out? Will it be a commercial success? We know so little about it, and yet, that's never stopped us before, so why start now? Plus: Arrowhead rather blatantly teases a Helldivers 2/Halo crossover, Strauss Zelnick expresses confidence in GTA6's Spring '26 release window and promises that BioShock 4 will indeed launch one day, rumors percolate about upcoming Resident Evil remakes, Crimson Desert gets delayed, PUBG is the next game to reveal it's leaving PlayStation 4 behind, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! What's the best stoner game? Are people overreacting to recent PlayStation executives' chatter about moving away from hardware? Is Danganronpa actually bad? Did we actually (and unintentionally) get someone fired from their job? Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/ty57yree #CashAppPod.
