Now here’s your hosts, Alan Hall, Joel Saxon, Phil Totaro, and Rosemary Barnes. Allen Hall: Welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast. I’m your host, Allen Hall in the Queen city of Charlotte, North Carolina. I have Yolanda Padron in of all places, Austin, Texas. We’re together to talk to this week’s news and there’s a lot going on, but before we do, I want to highlight that Joel Saxon and I will be in Edinburgh, Scotland for the re Catapult UK offshore supply chain spotlight. That’s on December 11th, which is a Thursday. We’re gonna attend that event. We’re excited to meet with everybody. Over in the UK and in Scotland. Um, a lot of people that we know and have been on the podcast over a number of years [00:01:00] are gonna be at that event. If you’re interested in attending the OE Catapult UK Offshore Supply Chain spotlight, just Google it. It’s really inexpensive to attend, and I hope to see most of you there, Yolanda. There’s some big news over in Scandinavia today, uh, as, as we’re reading these stories, uh, the Norwegian State owned Utility Stack Craft, and it’s also one of Europe’s largest renewable energy companies. As, uh, as we know, I’ve been spending a lot of money in new markets and new technologies. Uh, they are in electric vehicle charging biofuels and some offshore wind development. Off the eastern coast of Sweden. So between Finland and Sweden, they’re also involved in district heating. So Stack Craft’s a really large company with a broad scope, uh, but they’re running into a little bit of financial difficulty. And this past July, they announced some [00:02:00] workforce reductions, and those are starting to kick in. They have 168 fewer employees, uh, by the end of this third quarter. 330 more expected to leave by the end of the year when all the dive are complete. This is the worrisome part. Roughly 1000 people will longer work for the company. Now, as part of the restructuring of Stack Craft, they are going to or have sold their offshore portfolio to Zephyr Renewable. Which is another Norwegian company. So Stack Craft is the Norwegian state owned renewable energy company. Zephyr is an independent company, far as I can tell my recollection that’s the case. So they agreed to acquire the bot, the uh, offshore Sigma and Lambda North projects, which makes Zephyr the largest offshore wind developer. Sweden, not Norway, [00:03:00] in Sweden. Obviously there’s some regulatory approvals that need to happen to make this go, but it does seem like Norway still is heavily involved in Sweden. Yolanda, with all the movement in offshore wind, we’re seeing big state owned companies. Pulling themselves out of offshore wind and looks like sort of free market, capitalistic companies are going head first into offshore wind. How does that change the landscape and what should we be expecting here over the next year or two? Yolanda Padron: We, we’ve seen a large reduction in the, the workforce in offshore wind in all of these state owned companies that you mentioned. Uh, something that I think will be really interesting to see will be that different approach. Of, you know, having these companies be a bit more like traditional corporations that you see, not necessarily having them, [00:04:00] um, be so tied to whatever politically is happening in the government at the moment, or whatever is happening between governments at a time, um, and seeing exactly what value. The different aspects of a company are bringing into what that company is making into, um, what, uh, the revenue of that company is, and not just kind of what is, what is considered to be the best way forward by governments. Do you agree? Is that something that you’re sensing too? Allen Hall: The COP 30 just wrapped down in the rainforest of Brazil, and there has not been a lot of agreement news coming out of that summit. Uh, I think next year it’s gonna move to Turkey, but Australia’s involved heavily. It was supposed to be in Adelaide at one point and then it’s moved to Turkey. [00:05:00] So there doesn’t seem to be a lot of consensus globally about what should be happening for renewables, and it feels like. The state owned companies are, uh, getting heavily leveraged and losing money trying to get their footing back underneath of them, so they’re gonna have to divest of something to get back to the core of what they were doing. That’s an interesting development because I think one of the question marks regarding sort of these state owned companies was how fast were they willing to develop the technology? How much risk were they willing to take? Being backed by governments gets a little political at times, right? So they, they want to have a, a steady stream of revenue coming from these operations. And when they don’t, the politicians step in and, uh, lean on the company is a good bit. Does the move to more, uh, standalone companies that are investing sort of venture capital money and bank money taking loans? I assume most of this [00:06:00] does that. Change how the offshore industry looks at itself. One and two, what the OEMs are thinking. Because if they were going to sell to an TED or an Ecuador, or a stack raft or vattenfall, any of them, uh, you know, when you’re going to that sales discussion that they’re backed by billions and billions and billions of, of kroner or whatever the, the currency is. So you may not have to. Really be aggressive on pricing. Now you’re dealing with companies that are heavily leveraged and don’t have that banking of a government. Do you think there’s gonna be a tightening of what that marketplace looks like or more pressure to go look towards China for offshore wind turbines? Yolanda Padron: It’ll definitely get a bit more audited internally, exactly what decisions are made and and how objective teams are. I think that there’s. [00:07:00] In all of the companies that you mentioned, there’s some semblance of things that maybe happened because of what was going on politically or, or because of ties that certain governments had to each other, or certain governments had to specific corporations, um, which was a, a great way for those companies to operate at the time and what was, what made sense. But now that it’s. A third party who genuinely, you know, needs that cash flow in from that business or that part of the business, it’ll, I think you’ll definitely start seeing some, some greater efficiencies going on within Allen Hall: these teams. Well, I would hope so. If you think about the way the United States moved pre, uh, the current administration. There were a number of US based companies sort of going 50 50 on a lot of the [00:08:00] offshore development, and then they slowly started backing away. The only one that’s still really in it is Dominion, was the coastal offshore, um, coastal Virginia offshore wind project that is still progressing at a good pace. But, uh, everybody else that was involved in, and they’re not the same kind of structure as an Ecuador is. They’re not, uh, there’s kinda state-owned entities in the United States and states can’t have deficits, unlike nations can. So the US deficit obviously is massively large, but state deficits don’t really exist. So those electric companies can’t get highly leveraged where they’re gonna bleed cash. It’s just not a thing. It’s gonna happen. So I think I saw the precursors to some of this offshore turbulence happening in the United States as the. They didn’t see a lot of profit coming from the state electric companies. That seems to be flowing into Europe now pretty heavily. That started about six months [00:09:00] ago. How are they gonna structure some of these offshore projects now? Are they just gonna put them on hold and wait for interest rates to come down so that the margins go up? Is is that really the play? Is that you have the plot of land? You already have all the, the filings and the paperwork and authorization to do a project at some point, is it just now a matter of waiting where the time is? Right. Financially, Yolanda Padron: that question will be answered by each specific company and see what, what makes sense to them. I don’t think that it makes sense to stall projects that if you already have the permits in, if you already have everything in, and just to, to see when the time is right, because. Everything’s been ramping up to that moment, right? Like, uh, the water’s always already flowing. Um, but it, it’ll, it’ll definitely be interesting to see what approach, like where, where each company finds themselves. I, they’ll have to rely on [00:10:00] what information has come out in the past and maybe try to analyze it, try to see exactly where things went wrong, or try to pinpoint what. Decisions to not make. Again, knowing what they know now, but with everything already flowing and everything already in queue, it’ll have to be something that’s done sooner rather than later to not lose any of that momentum of the projects because they’re not reinventing the wheel. Allen Hall: Siemens is developing what a 20 odd megawatt, offshore turbine? 22 megawatt, if I remember right. 21, 22. Something in there. Obviously Ming Yang and some others are talking about upwards of 15 megawatts in the turbine. If you have a lot of capital at risk and not a lot of government backing in it, are you going to step down and stay in the 15 megawatt range offshore because there’s some little bit of history, or are you gonna just roll the dice? Some new technology knowing that you can get the, the dollar per megawatt [00:11:00] down. If you bought a Chinese wind turbine, put it in the water. Do you roll that? Do you roll that dice and take the risk? Or is the safer bet and maybe the financing bet gonna play out easier by using a Vestus 15 megawatt turbine or a Siemens older offshore turbine that has a track record with it. Yolanda Padron: I think initially it’ll have to be. Using what’s already been established and kind of the devil, you know? Right. I, I think it’ll, there’s a lot of companies that are coming together and, and using what’s done in the field and what operational information they have to be able to, to. Take that information and to create new studies that could be done on these new blades, on these new technologies, uh, to be able to take that next step into innovation without compromising any [00:12:00] of the, of the money, any of the aspects really like lowering your risk Allen Hall: portfolio. Yeah. ’cause the risk goes all the way down to the OEMs, right. If the developer fails and the OEM doesn’t get paid. It, it’s a. Catastrophic down the chain event that Siemens investors are looking to avoid, obviously. So they’re gonna be also looking at the financing of these companies to decide whether they’re going to sell them turbines and. The question comes up is how much are they gonna ask for a deposit before they will deliver the first turbine? It may be most of the money up front. Uh, it generally is, unless you’re a big developer. So this is gonna be an interesting, uh, turning point for the offshore wind industry. And I know in 2026 we’re gonna see a lot more news about it, and probably some names we haven’t heard of in a while. Coming back into offshore wind.

Well, as we all know, the offshore wind industry has sort of a problem, which is now starting to come more prevalent, which is the first generation of offshore wind turbines that prove that the technology could work at scale or getting old. We’re also developing a lot of new wind turbines, so the blade links are getting much longer. We don’t have a lot of design history on them. Decommissioning is expensive. Of course, anything offshore is expensive. What if we can make those blades last longer offshore, how would we do that? Well, that question has come up a number of times at many of the, the conferences that I have attended, and it looks like ORI Catapult, which is based in the UK and has their test center [00:14:00] in Blythe, England, is working with Blade Dina, which is a Danish engineering company that’s now owned by Res. So if you haven’t. Seeing anything from Blade Dina, you’re not paying attention. You should go to the website and check them out. Uh, they have all kinds of great little technology and I call it little technology, but innovative technology to make blades last longer. So some really cool things from the group of Blade Dina, but they’re gonna be working with re catapult to test an 88 meter blade for torsion. And I’m an electrical engineer. I’m gonna admit it up front, Yolanda. I don’t know a lot about torsional testing. I’ve seen it done a little bit on aircraft wings, but I haven’t seen it done on wind turbine blades. And my understanding, talking to a lot of blade experts like yourself is when you start to twist a blade, it’s not that easy to simulate the loads of wind loads that would happen normally on a turbine in the laboratory. Yolanda Padron: Absolutely. I think this is going to be so [00:15:00] exciting as someone in operations, traditionally in operations, uh, because I think a lot of the, the technology that we’ve seen so far and the development of a lot of these wind projects has been from teams that are very theory based. And so they’ve, they’ve seen what simulations can be done on a computer, and those are great and those are perfect, but. As everyone knows, the world is a crazy place. And so there’s so many factors that you might not even think to consider before going into operations and operating this, uh, wind farm for 10, 20 years. And so something that Blade Dina is doing is bringing a lot of that operational information and seeing, like applying that to the blade testing to be able to, to get us to. The next step of being able to innovate while knowing a little bit [00:16:00]more of what exactly you’re putting on there and not taking as big a risk. Allen Hall: Does the lack of torsional testing increase the risk? Because if you listen to, uh, a, a lot of blade structure people, one of the things that’s discussed, and Blaina has been working on this for a couple of years, I went back. Two or three years to see what some of the discussions were. They’ve been working with DTU for quite a while, but Dina has, uh, but they think that some of the aging issues are really related to torsion, not to flap wise or edgewise movement of the blade, if that’s the case, particularly on longer blades, newer blades, where they’re lighter. If that’s the case, is there momentum in the industry to create a standard on how to. Do this testing because I, I know it’s gonna be difficult. I, I can imagine all the people from Blaina that are working on it, and if you’ve met the Blaina folk, there [00:17:00] are pretty bright people and they’ve been working with DTU for a number of years. Everybody in this is super smart. But when you try to get something into an IEC standard, you try to simplify where it can be repeatable. Is this. Uh, is it even possible to get a repeatable torsion test or is it gonna be very specific to the blade type and, or it is just gonna be thousands of hours of engineering even to get to a torsion test? Yolanda Padron: I think right now it’ll be the thousands of hours of engineering that we’re seeing, which isn’t great, but hopefully soon there, there could be some sort of. A way to, to get all of these teams together and to create a bit of a more robust standard. Of course, these standards aren’t always perfect. We’ve seen that in, in other aspects such as lightning, but it at least gets you a starting point to, to be able to, to have everyone being compliance with, with a similar [00:18:00] testing parameters. Allen Hall: When I was at DTU, oh boy, it’s probably been a year and a half, maybe two years ago. Yikes. A lot has happened. We were able to look at, uh, blades that had come off the first offshore wind project off the coast of Denmark. These blades were built like a tank. They could live another 20, 30 years. I think they had been on in the water for 20 plus years. If I remember correctly. I was just dumbfounded by it, like, wow. That’s a long time for a piece of fiberglass to, to be out in such a harsh environment. And when they started to structurally test it to see how much life it had left in it, it was, this thing could last a lot longer. We could keep these blades turned a lot longer. Is that a good design philosophy though? Are should we be doing torsional testing to extend the lifetime to. 40, 50 years because I’m concerned now that the, well, the reality is you like to have everything fall apart at once. The gearbox to fail, the generator to fail, the [00:19:00] blades, to fail, the tower, to fail all of it at the same time. That’s your like ideal engineering design. And Rosemary always says the same thing, like you want everything to fall apart and the same day. 25 years out because at 25 years out, there’s probably a new turbine design that’s gonna be so much massively better. It makes sense to do it. 20 years is a long time. Does it make sense to be doing torsional testing to extend the lifetime of these blades past like the 20 year lifespan? Or is, or, or is the economics of it such like, if we can make these turbines in 50 years, we’re gonna do it regardless of what the bearings will hold. Yolanda Padron: From, from speaking to different people in the field, there’s a lot of appetite to try to extend the, the blade lifetime as long as the permits are. So if it’s a 50 year permit to try to get it to those 50 years as much as possible, so you don’t have to do a lot of that paperwork and a lot of the, if you have to do [00:20:00] anything related to the mono piles, it’s a bit of a nightmare. Uh, and just trying to, to see that, and of course. I agree that in a perfect world, everything would fail at once, but it doesn’t. Right? And so there you are seeing in the lifetime maybe you have to do a gearbox replacement here and there. And so, and having the, the blades not be the main issue or not having blades in the water and pieces as long as possible or in those 50 years, then you can also tackle some of the other long-term solutions to see if you, if you can have that wind farm. For those 50 years or if you are going to have to sort of either replace some of the turbines or, or eat up some of that time left over in the permit that you have. Allen Hall: Yeah, because I think the industry is moving that way to test gear boxes and to test bearings. RD test systems has made a number of advancements and test beds to do just that, to, [00:21:00] to test these 15, 20, 25 megawatt turbines for lifetime, which we haven’t done. As much of this probably the industry should have. It does seem like we’re trying to get all the components through some sort of life testing, whatever that is, but we haven’t really understood what life testing means, particularly with blades. Right? So the, the issue of torsion, which is popped its head up probably every six months. There’s a question about should we be testing for torsion that. Is in line with bearing testing that’s in line with gearbox testing. If we are able to do that, where we spend a little more money on the development side and the durability side, that would dramatically lower the cost of operations, right? Yolanda Padron: Absolutely. It, it’d lower the cost of operations. It would lower the ask. Now that. A lot of these companies are transition, are [00:22:00]transitioning to be a bit more privatized. It’ll lower the risk long term for, for getting some of those financial loans out, for these projects to actually take place. And, you know, you’ll, you’re having a, a site last 50 years, you’re going to go through different cycles. Different political cycles. So you won’t have that, um, you won’t have that to, to factor in too much, into, into your risk of whether, whether or not you, you have a permit today and don’t have it tomorrow. Allen Hall: It does bring the industry to a interesting, uh, crossroads if we can put a little more money into the blades to make them last 25 years. Pretty regularly like the, the, you’re almost guaranteeing it because of the technology that bleeding that’s gonna develop with Ory Catapult and you get the gearbox and you can get the generator and bearings all to do the same thing. [00:23:00] Are you willing to pay a little bit more for that turbine? Because I think in today’s world or last year’s world, the answer was no. I wanted the cheapest blade. I wanted the cheapest, uh, to sell. I could get, I wanna put ’em on a tower, I’m gonna call it done. And then at least in the United States, like repower, it’s boom, 10 years it’s gonna repower. So I don’t care about year 20. I don’t even care about year 11, honestly, that those days have are gone for a little while, at least. Do you think that there’s appetite for say, a 10% price increase? Maybe a 15% say 20. Let’s just go crazy and say it’s a 20% price increase to then know, hey, we have some lifecycle testing. We’re really confident in the durability these turbines is. There’s a trade off there somewhere there, right? Yolanda Padron: Yeah. I mean, spending 10, 20% of CapEx to it, it. Will, if you can dramatically increase [00:24:00] the, the lifetime of the blades and not just from the initial 10 years, making them 20 years like we’re talking about, but some of these blades are failing before they hit that 10 year mark because of that lack of testing, right. That we’ve seen, we’ve talked to so many people about, and it’s an unfortunate reality. But it is a reality, right? And so it is something that if you’re, you’re either losing money just from having to do a lot of repairs or replacements, or you’re losing money from all of the downtime and not having that generation until you can get those blade repairs or replacements. So in spending a little bit more upfront, I, I feel like there should be. Great appetite from a lot of these companies to, to spend that money and not have to worry about that in the long term. Allen Hall: Yeah, I think the 20 26, 27, Joel would always say it’s 2027, but let’s just say 2027. If you have an [00:25:00] opportunity to buy a really hard and vested turbine or a new ing y, twin headed dragon and turbine, whatever, they’re gonna call this thing. I think they’re gonna stick to the European turbine. I really do. I think the lifetime matters here. And having security in the testing to show that it’s gonna live that long will make all the little difference to the insurance market, to the finance market. And they’re gonna force, uh, the developers’ hands that’s coming, Yolanda Padron: you know, developing of a project. Of course, we see so many projects and operations and everything. Um, but developing a project does take years to happen. So if you’re developing a project and you think, you know, this is great because I can have this project be developed and it will take me and it’ll be alive for a really long time and it’ll be great and I’ll, I’ll be able to, to see that it’s a different, it’s a different business case too, of how much money you’re going to bring into the [00:26:00]company by generating a lot more and a lot more time and having to spend less upfront in all of the permitting. Because if instead of having to develop two projects, I can just develop one and it’ll last as long as two projects, then. Do you really have your business case made for you? Especially if it’s just a 10 to 20% increase instead of a doubling of all of the costs and effort. Speaker 4: Australia’s wind farms are growing fast, but are your operations keeping up? Join us February 17th and 18th at Melbourne’s Poolman on the park for Wind Energy o and M Australia 2026, where you’ll connect with the experts solving real problems in maintenance asset management. And OEM relations. Walk away with practical strategies to cut costs and boost uptime that you can use the moment you’re back on site. Register now at W om a 2020 six.com. Wind Energy, o and m Australia is created [00:27:00] by Wind professionals for wind professionals. Because this industry needs solutions, not speeches, Allen Hall: I know Yolanda and I are preparing to go to Woma Wind Energy, o and m Australia, 2026 in February. Everybody’s getting their tickets and their plans made. If you haven’t done that, you need to go onto the website, woma WMA 2020 six.com and register to attend the event. There’s a, there’s only 250 tickets, Yolanda, that’s not a lot. We sold out last year. I think it’s gonna be hard to get a ticket here pretty soon. You want to be there because we’re gonna be talking about everything operations and trying to make turbines in Australia last longer with less cost. And Australians are very, um, adept at making things work. I’ve seen some of their magic up close. It’s quite impressive. Uh, so I’m gonna learn a lot this year. What are you looking forward to at Wilma 26? Yolanda. [00:28:00] Yolanda Padron: I think it’s going to be so exciting to have such a, a relatively small group compared to the different conferences, but even just the fact that it’s everybody talking to each other who’s seen so many different modes of failure and so many different environments, and just everybody coming together to talk solutions or to even just establish relationships for when that problem inevitably arises without having it. Having, I mean, something that I always have so much anxiety about whenever I go to conferences is just like getting bombarded by salespeople all the time, and so this is just going to be great Asset managers, engineers, having everybody in there and having everybody talking the same language and learning from each other, which will be very valuable. At least for me. Allen Hall: It’s always sharing. That’s what I enjoy. And it’s not even necessarily during some of the presentations and the round tables and the, [00:29:00] the panels as much as when you’re having coffee out in the break area or you’re going to dinner at night, or uh, meeting before everything starts in the morning. You just get to learn so much about the wind industry and where people are struggling, where they’re succeeding, how they dealt with some of these problems. That’s the way the industry gets stronger. We can’t all remain in our little foxholes, not looking upside, afraid to poke our head up and look around a little bit. We, we have to be talking to one another and understanding how others have attacked the same problem. And I always feel like once we do that, life gets a lot easier. I don’t know why we’re make it so hard and wind other industries like to talk to one another. We seem somehow close ourselves off. And uh, the one thing I’ve learned in Melbourne last year was. Australians are willing to describe how they have fixed these problems. And I’m just like dumbfounded. Like, wow, that was brilliant. You didn’t get to to Europe and talk about what’s going on [00:30:00] there. So the exchange of information is wonderful, and I know Yolanda, you’re gonna have a great time and so are everybody listening to this podcast. Go to Woma, WOMA 2020 six.com and register.

Somewhere in the galaxy, a radioactive dragon just wants a hug. Unfortunately, it kills everyone it touches. Welcome to Starfinder 2e, where your best friends are undead, your space pirates have tricorn hats, and your digital ghosts won't log off. The RPGBOT crew dives into Paizo's new Alien Core, exploring the weirdest monsters, creepiest factions, and why Paradox 17 knows you're listening right now. Play Paizo Games with Ash Ely Want to explore the horrors of Paradox 17 or negotiate with an Abyssium dragon who just wants a friend? Book a game with Ash Ely on StartPlaying.games and experience Starfinder 2e, Pathfinder 2e, or your favorite tabletop RPGs with a professional GM who knows every monster in the book, probably because they created a few. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, hosts Randall James, Tyler Kamstra, and Ash Ely dive into Starfinder 2e's Alien Core, the first major bestiary of Paizo's new edition. They unpack factions, dragons, and otherworldly horrors, comparing it to Pathfinder 2e's Monster Core while exploring how easily these creatures can jump between systems. Materials References in This Episode Starfinder 2e Alien Core (affiliate link) RPGBOT.Podcast Episodes Starfinder Galaxy Guide Starfinder GM Core Starfinder Player Core Key Takeaways Alien Core is Starfinder 2e's Monster Manual, but weirder, smarter, and full of story inspiration. Factions like the Corpse Fleet and Dominion of the Black make excellent recurring villains. The new dragons embody four magical traditions and range from tragic to terrifying. Undead get a sci-fi twist—digital ghosts, irradiated zombies, and vacuum-frozen nightmares. Paradox 17 is pure cosmic horror genius, perfect for high-level campaigns. Even Pathfinder GMs should buy Alien Core—the compatibility is seamless, and the storytelling potential immense. Paizo proves again why they're the gold standard for deep, mechanically rich monster design. Read More at RPGBOT.net Want to optimize your next Starfinder or Pathfinder character?

Here's a secret: some of the best financial education doesn't come from books or podcasts. It comes from a board game box. Joe Saul-Sehy welcomes Kylie Prymus, board game expert and owner of Pittsburgh's award-winning store Games Unlimited, for a conversation about the games that sneak money lessons into brilliant gameplay. These aren't boring "educational games" that make kids groan—they're genuinely fun strategy games that happen to teach supply and demand, resource management, risk assessment, and long-term planning better than most finance courses. Kylie walks through his top picks for economic games that'll make you (and your kids, and yes, your brother-in-law) think differently about money. From deck-builders like Dominion that teach portfolio diversification to Food Chain Magnate (basically an MBA in a box, but way more entertaining), these games turn financial concepts into actual decisions with consequences you can see play out in real time. But this isn't just about learning—it's about leveling up your holiday gatherings. Kylie shares his favorite cozy games for the season, from the absurdly cute cat-themed strategy game Boop to party games like Monikers that even Uncle Larry can't ruin. Whether you need something cooperative to bring the family together or competitive enough to settle old scores, this episode has you covered. Plus: you'll hear why game stores like Games Unlimited curate experiences (not just inventory), and how the right game can turn a tense holiday gathering into something people actually want to repeat. What You'll Walk Away With: • The board games that teach money concepts like budgeting, income streams, and resource management without feeling like homework • Why Dominion, Food Chain Magnate, and other economic games are secretly brilliant financial teachers • Kylie's top holiday game picks—from cozy strategy games to party games that work for any crowd • How game mechanics like deck-building and resource trading translate directly to real-world money decisions • What to look for when choosing games that work for both newbies and strategy enthusiasts • Why games teach financial lessons better than lectures—and how to use that with kids (or adults who need a refresh) • The surprising ways marketing, scarcity, and community building show up in tabletop games This Episode Is For You If: • You want to teach your kids about money in a way that doesn't feel like a lecture • You're looking for games that are actually fun but happen to build financial thinking • Your family game nights need an upgrade beyond Monopoly arguments • You're curious about board games but don't know where to start • You believe the best learning happens when you're having too much fun to notice you're learning What's Your Money Game? Drop your answer in the comments: What board game taught you a real money lesson, even if it wasn't trying to? Or if your financial personality were a board game, which one would it be? The basement wants to know—and we're always looking for new game recommendations.

What happens when deliverance doesn't feel complete? Exploring a powerful vision of the body of Christ as thousands of individual pictures forming one beautiful portrait, this discussion challenges the belief that freedom means never facing spiritual battles again. Why does thanksgiving matter beyond a single holiday, and how does cultivating gratitude actually shut down spiritual oppression? Discover how dominion looks different than expected—not the absence of struggle, but the absolute confidence to face your adversary and declare victory every single time. Can embracing suffering with Christ actually be the path to becoming more like Him? Recorded Sunday, November 23rd, 2025.

Kingship entails the command and control of geographical, spiritual, career or professional territories and domains. In this message, we explore several incidences of kingship and rulership.

Harrisonburg housing officials want to turn an iconic business that's closing down into more affordable housing… State regulators approve Dominion's request for higher rates… Virginia college campuses are working harder to provide for food insecure students, especially after disruptions to the SNAP program earlier this month….

Episode Notes Jude gets a promotion! We start the Dominion War in earnest! A Time to Stand: Nearly everyone's on the Defiant, and the war isn't going great. Oh yeah and Jake is still on the Dominion-occupied DS9. Tetracel White is a strategic resource. Dukat is in charge on the station, but not _in charge_ with the Dominion there. Woo censorship! Worf is a bridezila. ROSSSSS! What percentage of Vorta dna is housecat? Dukat is, after all, a giant POS. Kira's maturation from firebrand to leader. Spock-ifying Bashir. Rocks and Shoals: O'Brien couldn't pull a Scotty, so now the Defiant's in trouble! Nog remembers what happened last season. Battles that we only see in DS9. Protests we only see in DS9. Kira realizes she's a collaborator now. The Dominion has never dealt with supply line issues before, apparently. BabSpace9 is a production of the Okay, So network.

This episode reveals the evidence the State of Colorado and the national election-industrial complex never wanted the public to see. Using Cast Vote Records, timing-belt sequencing, precinct-preserved shuffle tests, and the Mesa County and Grand Junction datasets, the show walks audiences through the hard mathematical proof of algorithmic manipulation that former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters attempted to expose.Featuring election-integrity researcher Robert Fuller, the episode demonstrates why Tina Peters was targeted, why she is currently imprisoned, and why the data itself demands she be released immediately.This is not political.This is not speculation.This is math, science, and documented analysis.Presented in partnership with:https://AmericanMadeFoundation.orghttps://AmericanMadeAction.orgFollow Ann Vandersteel on Pickax: https://pickax.com/annvandersteel

PLUS: Georgia (nearly) stand alone in its embrace of touchscreen voting technology that runs afoul of its own lawGeorgia Republicans are racing toward a Florida- and Tennessee-style dream: wiping out the state income tax and pitching it as an overnight “5% raise” for struggling families. Ron digs into what the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute says really happens if lawmakers eliminate the 5.19% personal income tax that currently brings in nearly half of Georgia's revenue. Their analysis shows the state would likely need something like a 12% state sales tax, pushing the average household's tax bill up about $1,000 a year and shifting the burden onto low- and middle-income Georgians while the top 5% reap nearly half the savings. Ron walks through how tourism-dependent states like Florida and Tennessee balance their books, and why Georgia's very different economy makes copying them a recipe for a regressive tax hike dressed up as relief.From there, the conversation widens to the “K-shaped economy.” Drawing on reporting from Sasha Rogelberg and economist Peter Atwater, Ron connects the dots between flat or falling wage growth for the bottom 90%, rising subprime debt, and booming stock gains for the wealthiest households. It's not just about the numbers, he argues, but about feelings: a sea of despair at the bottom versus overconfident invulnerability at the top. That emotional gap is reshaping politics, fueling resentment, and creating a messaging test Democrats failed at in 2024 - and Trump continues to - when they insist the economy is “great” while groceries, utilities, and rent keep climbing.Then Marilyn Marks of the Coalition for Good Governance joins Ron to sound the alarm on Georgia's voting system. She explains how Dominion ballot-marking devices, giant touchscreen displays, and QR-code ballots violate both the spirit and letter of Georgia's secret-ballot laws, enable subtle hacks that leave no audit trail, and create real intimidation risks in small communities and church precincts.Marks walks through the Coffee County breach, the Curling lawsuit, and why federal experts have warned Georgia for years to fix obvious vulnerabilities. Her solution is surprisingly simple—and cheaper: warehouse most of the touchscreens, keep a few for accessibility, and join the 70% of America already using hand-marked paper ballots fed into the same scanners Georgia uses now.Tune in to catch the Ron Show weekdays from 4-6pm Eastern time on Georgia NOW!

¿Se pueden proteger las mecánicas de un juego de mesa? ¿Qué pasa si una editorial “toma prestado” tu prototipo o si una comunidad mantiene vivo un juego descatalogado?En este monográfico de Vis Lúdica, Arribas charla con Violeta Arnaiz, abogada especializada en derechos de autor y propiedad intelectual en PONS IP, sobre cómo funciona realmente la protección legal en los juegos de mesa.Hablamos de ejemplos reales del sector (Dominion, Magic, Catán, Knizia, Wallace…), de las diferencias entre propiedad intelectual y patentes, y de por qué la famosa distinción entre “yema” (la idea) y “clara” (arte, reglamento, marca, etc.) es clave para entender qué se puede registrar y qué no.Además, entramos en temas muy prácticos para autores y editoriales:Qué partes de un juego se pueden proteger (ilustraciones, reglamento, marca…) y cuáles no (ideas, mecánicas en abstracto).Cómo funcionan los contratos de edición, las cláusulas de reversión de derechos y los problemas típicos que han tenido autores conocidos.El papel de los acuerdos de confidencialidad (NDAs) cuando compartes prototipos con editoriales u otros autores.Comunidades, fanmade y módulos en Tabletop Simulator / Vassal: cuándo ayudan a la marca y cuándo chocan con los derechos legales.Qué pasa si usas inteligencia artificial para crear ilustraciones o componentes del juego y cómo afecta eso a la protección de tu obra.Cerramos con una serie de consejos claros para autores y editoriales sobre cómo proteger sus juegos desde el primer momento: contratos, marcas, registros y buenas prácticas para evitar sustos más adelante.Si eres autor, editas juegos o simplemente te interesa entender el lado legal del hobby, este episodio te va a resultar especialmente útil.

As the Jeffrey Epstein smokescreen sucks all the news out of the media, we see how everything that's been going on is connected, and it all traces back to the open border. As Trump encourages House republicans to vote for the release of all Epstein related materials, the media dance on the line: Making sure they don't accuse Trump of any misconduct, but leading every horse to that water. Gold Star mom Tina Peters calls Steve Bannon's War Room from prison and drops the truth about Dominion voting systems... Colorado's secretary of state... and the cartels. Trump calls for Tina Peters' release from prison.

Michael Jaco brings together Ron and Patty Plumb along with Lewis Herms for a powerful, no-nonsense exploration into one of the most explosive topics of our time — the battle for human sovereignty and the fight to reclaim America's voting system. This conversation exposes the deeper war between human consciousness and the alleged influence of reptilian-controlled power structures embedded in global politics and U.S. elections. Michael discusses the human lineage behind leaders like President Trump, JFK, and Ronald Reagan, and how their rise challenged entrenched dark networks operating behind the scenes. Ron and Patty Plumb deliver an extraordinary firsthand account of what happened in Shasta County, where they led the historic movement to eliminate Dominion voting machines and restore hand-counted paper ballots. They break down the pushback they faced, the victories they achieved, and the exact steps counties across America can follow to reclaim their elections. Lewis Herms adds crucial insight into the broader national movement — exposing psychological manipulation, elite control systems, and the grassroots awakening happening through education, activism, and state-level reform. His work ties directly into the New California State movement, a rapidly growing initiative aimed at restoring constitutional governance. If you're looking for real solutions and real results, this episode offers a blueprint for taking your power back — spiritually, politically, and locally.

Introduction: Good morning, If you have your bibles let me invite you to open with me to the book of Revelation chapter 9. We will pick up with where we left off last week in John's unfolding vision of seven trumpet warnings. John is now seeing a second series of 7 visions, each beginning with the blast…

Joe Oltmann Untamed opens with X fire: Kash Patel's “social media genius” and Dan Bongino's gait-analysis lies shield the pipe bomber while bureaucrats and lawyers hold America hostage. Then the gut punch—Tina Peters, Gold Star mom, cancer survivor, jailed 9 years for copying Dominion data. She's coughing blood in a Colorado cell while feds “review” transfer and Dems stall: “No request received.” No one's moving. She's dying for the truth.Juan O'Savin & Tracie Halvorsen drop utahcorruption.com's federal class-action nuke. Utah's “reddest state” is a RINO fraud factory: Lt. Gov. Henderson trashed convention votes, ran fake primaries under SB54's secret “mansion meetings,” and let donors buy seats. No independent SOS—just a governor's puppet. Why sue? To burn the rigged system down.Friday closes with “funny but not funny” chaos: Idaho's Tranny Socialist, JFK's grandson gunning for Nadler's seat, Michigan's furry Democrat “Elyon Badger”, a Commie elected in NY, and a liberal meltdown for the ages. This is the circus running for office. 4PM ET—lock in, speak up, or surrender.

"Too many American subs dominate this market.  Eighty percent of what we buy is from American companies. We wanna reverse that. We wanna make 80 percent of what we buy from Canadian companies.

Unpacking the web that controls our lives. Episode one focusing on Singham, Dominion and our compromised election system. Watch to see the complexity of the web.

Buckle up, patriots—it's a brutal postmortem on the 2025 off-year bloodbath that has conservatives reeling and the deep state smirking. From Zohran Mamdani's shocking socialist surge to NYC's mayoral throne—quoting Marxist icons who crushed freedoms abroad—to Abigail Spanberger's iron grip on Virginia's governorship and Jay Jones' vengeful ascent as AG, Democrats didn't just win; they weaponized the vote. Joe Oltmann blasts the undeniable: "We haven't won a single election since November 2024—the legacy set is rigged." Mark Cook warns we're "one or two elections from Venezuela," zero doubt. This isn't random; it's a calculated assault on the Republic, from NJ's blue wave to Virginia's radical rematch. Tune in as we dissect the fraud fingerprints and rally the roar against a system screaming for reform.Enter the unyielding warriors on the front lines: Lori Gimelshteyn, founder of Colorado Parent Advocacy Network (CPAN), storms the airwaves to expose leftism's siege on our kids. This patriot mom turned national firebrand mobilized 35,000 signatures to gut HB25-1312's speech-crushing tyranny, co-leads landmark lawsuits shredding school districts for secret gender transitions, firing "proud American" deans, and stripping dads of medical rights over mutilating teens. From her triumphant National School Choice bash—to the gut-wrenching Rocky Mountain Summit unveiling gender-affirming horrors via whistleblowers like Jamie Reed, Lori's battle cry echoes: parents, not the state, rule the roost. Hear her unfiltered fury on SEL indoctrination traps, custody kidnappings, and the medical mafia's grip—plus blueprints for every family to fight back. If Colorado's a battleground, Lori's the general we need nationwide.But the chill wind from NYC's Mamdani victory isn't just blue—it's a Sharia shadow creeping into Times Square, where crowds chant for Islam in every home and liberals cheer, blind to burqas and ballot-or-bullet threats from Muslim Brotherhood blueprints. Curtis Sliwa's dire warning rings true: Van Jones laments the "missed outreach," but we see the endgame—socialist jihadis remaking the Big Apple in Nehru's nightmare mold. As fallout erupts, we pivot to raw reaction: Fax-Blast Congress with our Tina Peters thunderbolt, demanding her pardon from Biden's dungeon for daring to decode Dominion's dark code. Free this Gold Star mom, ban the machines, mandate paper ballots and voter ID—or 2026 seals our fate in server-farm slavery. Join the uprising: listen, act, and arm yourself before the machines steal.

Dominion! Do men have it over their wives? This week we're looking at Ephesians 5 where it very clearly says that wives should be subject to their husbands as to the Lord. OR DOES IT?!? We're going deep into Doc McClellan's linguistic grab-bag to parse out what it actually says. Because ancient Greek is tricky, and doesn't operate the way modern English does. Then, it's ANCIENT ALIENS!!! Were people in antiquity visited by extra terrestrials? Are the gods and angels written about in the Bible actually aliens from another planet?
