Dr. Adam Dorsay introduces his podcast episode featuring Melissa Orlov, a Harvard-educated expert on ADHD and marriage and author of “The ADHD Effect on Marriage” and “The Couple's Guide to Thriving with ADHD.” They discuss what adult ADHD is and is not, emphasizing attention dysregulation, distractibility, impulsivity, planning and working-memory difficulties, and emotional dysregulation, along with the hereditary and neurochemical basis (notably low dopamine) and why stimulants can be calming by increasing dopamine availability. Dorsay shares his own late ADHD diagnosis, his first experience taking Ritalin, and how medication helped him build habits and identity-based changes he later maintained without medication.Orlov describes common, predictable relationship patterns in ADHD-impacted couples, including the “hyperfocus courtship” phase driven by elevated dopamine and the shift after 24–28 months when symptoms become more visible. She outlines the experiences of both partners: the ADHD partner often carries lifelong shame and sensitivity to criticism, while the non-ADHD partner can feel lonely, resentful, and overwhelmed by chaos and perceived lack of follow-through. They explore distractibility and how “new or shiny” can override what is important, and they highlight strengths often associated with ADHD such as creativity, energy, passion, and effective performance in high-stimulation contexts.Orlov presents a three-stage framework for healing: moving out of denial and learning how ADHD impacts relationships, both partners taking responsibility for their own work, and breaking entrenched patterns such as parent-child dynamics and “symptom-response-response” cycles by reframing symptoms and changing reactions. They address sleep hygiene as foundational, noting sleep deprivation can worsen or mimic ADHD symptoms, and discuss strategies like consistent bedtime routines, “sacred bedtime,” and limiting electronics and blue-light exposure. They also discuss how parent-child dynamics harm sexual connection, the importance of lowering pressure when restarting sex, and improving communication about sex. Orlov closes with the importance of rebuilding trust through transparency and ownership rather than equating trust solely with perfect follow-through, and she names self-compassion and compassion for others as the key skill she would give to everyone.00:00 Welcome to Dorsay00:28 ADHD and Marriage Stakes01:00 Meet Melissa Orlov03:00 Why ADHD Feels Familiar04:17 What ADHD Is and Isnt06:23 Why Stimulants Help07:38 Adams Diagnosis Story09:36 Medication Targets and Hope12:14 Habits and Identity Shifts13:15 Empathy for Both Partners14:50 ADHD Partner Childhood Shame20:13 Non ADHD Partner Experience22:19 Hyperfocus Courtship Chemistry24:46 Distractibility in Relationships26:49 Main Thing Mantra27:24 Medication to Structure28:39 ADHD Strengths Kept30:17 Three Stages Healing31:29 Breaking Bad Patterns34:57 Sleep Hygiene Fixes40:36 Electronics at Bedtime42:14 Sex and Reconnection49:06 Rebuilding Trust54:21 Compassion Magic Skill55:22 Closing ThanksHelpful Links:Melissa OrlovMelissa Orlov The Couple's Guide to Thriving with ADHD Book

It's an AI heavy episode, and I'm bringing out some big guns! OpenAI is making some hardware, and while that's kinda stupid, we're REALLY more concerned about the plans for adult content. Disney and Paramount are putting pressure on Bytedance to remove copyrighted characters from Seedance Gen AI tools. Google and Microsoft are trying to find influencers to promote AI, but fewer are taking the cash. And I have a chat with Michael Nordquist, VP of Product Marketing at AMD, to talk about the hardware side of consumer AI.

Katherine never moved out. That's what makes the story harder to dismiss.The house has always looked ordinary — no tragic history, no age-darkened beams, no reason to expect anything unusual. But from the beginning, it behaved in small, deniable ways. Doors closed when they shouldn't. Objects fell without cause. Electronics overheated while everything around them remained cool.Then the activity escalated. A shadow figure in the hallway. Identical scratches appearing on two people in different rooms. A closet door that resisted as if someone were physically holding it shut from the inside. Knocking that moved through the walls in deliberate patterns.Over time, the disturbances shifted from fleeting to forceful. The house no longer felt random. It felt reactive.

Interview with Clinton Booth, Managing Director & CEO of GCM CorporationOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/green-critical-minerals-asxgcm-vhd-graphite-tech-targets-17b-data-center-market-7556Recording date: 10th February 2026GCM Corporation (ASX:GCM) is executing a critical transition from pre-revenue technology developer to commercial manufacturer in the thermal management sector, with first revenues targeted for the first half of 2026. The company has successfully pivoted from graphite exploration to industrial manufacturing following its late 2024 acquisition of proprietary VHD thermal management technology.CEO Clinton Booth outlined the company's progress through distinct commercialization phases during a February interview. After validating the technology in early 2025 and confirming market appetite in Q2, GCM entered active prototyping in the second half of the year. The company is now manufacturing customer-specific products under confidentiality agreements, sharing technical drawings with multiple customers across electronics, data centers, renewables, and electrical sectors.The VHD technology addresses a critical industry challenge: efficiently dissipating heat loads as devices become more powerful yet smaller. With thermal conductivity superior to copper and aluminum while being 4.5 times lighter than copper and 30 percent lighter than aluminum, VHD offers performance advantages that incumbent materials cannot match. As Booth noted, the market is actively seeking new solutions, with demand driven by electrification, artificial intelligence, and increasing power density requirements across the technology sector.GCM's modular manufacturing approach provides rapid scalability with minimal capital requirements. The current demonstration plant produces hundreds of units monthly, scaling to 1,000 units near-term with capacity to expand 100-fold within 12-15 months. The company achieved ISO 9001 certification in late 2025 and in-housed its product design capability, establishing systematic processes essential for scaling production as sales agreements materialize.Electronics and DC-to-DC converter markets offer the shortest sales pipeline, while data center opportunities present longer qualification periods but significant long-term value. The anticipated first major sales agreement represents a watershed moment that Booth expects will catalyze additional customer interest and validate the company's strategic transformation from explorer to industrial technology manufacturer.View GCM Corp's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/green-critical-mineralsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

As global supply chains fracture, AI reshapes productivity, and technology becomes a core instrument of national power, India is making an ambitious push to redefine its role in the world economy from IT services provider to deep tech superpower.In the season 2 premiere of  TechSurge, host Sriram Viswanathan brings together three defining perspectives to examine how India is positioned to become a global leader in frontier technologies, and what must go right for that vision to succeed.The episode begins with S. Krishnan, Secretary at India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, who outlines how India is treating deep tech as national infrastructure. From the India Semiconductor Mission and AI compute investments to the new RDI (Research, Development & Innovation) framework, Krishnan explains how long-horizon industrial policy is being used to derisk private capital, strengthen domestic design and manufacturing, and accelerate commercialization.Next, former G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant places India's technology ambitions in a global context. As post-WWII institutions weaken and supply chains are redrawn, Amitabh argues that India's decade of structural reforms, digital public infrastructure, and global partnerships has created a historic opening, if India can sustain free enterprise, execution discipline, and state-level reform.Finally, T.K. Kurien, CEO and Managing Partner of Premji Inves, brings the investor and operator lens. Kurien explores why India has excelled at services and business-model innovation but lagged in core technology creation and what it will take to build globally dominant deep tech companies. From patient capital and university-led innovation to focused national bets in AI applications, biotech, and semiconductors, he outlines the path from ambition to execution.Across policy, geopolitics, and capital, one message is clear: India's deep tech future will not be decided by vision alone but by alignment between government direction, private risk-taking, and long-term discipline.If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.Sign up for our newsletter at techsurgepodcast.com for updates on upcoming TechSurge Live Summits and future Season 2 episodes.Episode LinksIndia Semiconductor Mission (MeitY): https://www.meity.gov.in/India AI Mission & AI Kosh: https://indiaai.gov.in/National Research Foundation & RDI Scheme: https://anrf.gov.in/Premji Invest: https://www.premjiinvest.com/Timestamps00:00 India's Deep Tech Inflection Point02:05 Industrial Policy as National Infrastructure06:52 Why Government Must Catalyze Product Innovation Beyond IT Services09:13 Building the Ecosystem: Talent, Research, Diaspora Return & Startup Scale13:10 India Semiconductor Mission (ISM): What's Different This Time24:56 ISM 2.0 Plans: Fixing Design Incentives & Unlocking Risk Capital27:15 IndiaAI Mission Explained: Compute, Data (AI Kosh) & Model Development33:09 Global Order Shifts: Supply Chains, Tech Power & Introducing Amitabh Kant41:19 Alliances That Matter: China, Europe/Japan Partnerships & Why the US Is Key54:11 How Government Can Take Risk: Fund-of-Funds, R&D Incentives, and Grand Challenges57:07 Dismantle Red Tape, Build World-Class Infrastructure, 01:00:57 Why Premji Invest Focused on Growth Stage (and What Changed for Early Stage)01:03:16 India vs US Investing: Where Returns Come From and Avoiding Valuation Hype01:05:28 Building India's Startup Ecosystem: Capital, Patience, and Core Tech vs Business Models01:13:41 Three Sectors to Bet On: AI Software/Agents, Biotech Breakthroughs, and Pragmatic Semiconductors

When you talk to one manufacturer, you hear a story. When you talk to hundreds, patterns emerge. Today, we step back and examine what those patterns tell us about the real state of electronics manufacturing.Today's episode takes a step back from individual processes and technologies to look at the electronics manufacturing industry through a broader, editorial lens. My guest is Trevor Galbraith, publisher of Global SMT & Packaging—one of the industry's valuable trade publications.As a publisher, Trevor speaks with manufacturers, suppliers, technologists, and industry leaders from around the world. That gives him a unique vantage point—not just on where the industry is investing, but where it's struggling, where expectations and reality diverge, and how issues like reliability, workforce challenges, supply chain pressure, automation, and standards are truly playing out on the factory floor.In this Meet-the-Press–style conversation, we'll explore the current state of electronics manufacturing, how reliability is being prioritized—or deprioritized—amid cost and speed pressures, whether manufacturing processes are keeping pace with design complexity, and what Trevor sees ahead for the industry over the next five to ten years.This episode isn't about promoting solutions. It's about understanding the landscape, asking hard questions, and gaining perspective from someone who hears unfiltered voices across the entire electronics manufacturing ecosystem.Global SMT & Packaging Magazinehttps://www.globalsmt.net

Send a textThis is the third installment in a series on Basic Electronics for Recording Engineers. This episode focuses on equalizers and amplifiers. Why do we call them equalizers? And amplifiers are at the heart of every piece of audio gear, even if we don't usually recognize them as such.I discuss different approaches to designing an equalizer. And cover the concepts of amplification from the original vacuum tube circuits, through transistors, and then to opamps. Opamps make large format consoles possible, and they are at the heart of almost every audio device in your studio.email: dwfearn@dwfearn.comwww.youtube.com/c/DWFearnhttps://dwfearn.com/

Dollar tree Dollar Tree Survival: What's Worth Buying (And What's Trash) | Episode 582 Every prepper loves to argue gear. Expensive gear. Fancy gear. Tactical gear.But when weather hits and shelves start thinning out, a lot of the most useful stuff people grab doesn't come from boutique survival stores — it comes from places like Dollar Tree. This episode is a straight, no-nonsense breakdown of what's actually worth buying there, what works in real life, and what you should absolutely never waste your money on. Electrolytes, Drink Mixes, and Cheap Hydration Wins Let's start with one of the best buys: drink mixes and electrolytes. I make my own electrolytes — quarter teaspoon of table salt, quarter teaspoon of light salt for potassium — but straight salty water kind of sucks. Flavor helps, and Dollar Tree has cheap packets that do the job. Store brand electrolyte packets are usually around five bucks elsewhere. Dollar Tree? About a buck and a quarter. Good flavors, no nonsense. They don't need to be fancy. They just need to get fluids into you. I've been drinking more water and electrolytes at work lately instead of Coke, partly because I'm taking iron pills and caffeine messes with absorption. It saves money, cuts caffeine, and keeps hydration solid. That alone makes these packets worth stocking. Allergy Meds, Band-Aids, and Medical Basics Dollar Tree allergy pills actually work. We've used them. If an allergy pill doesn't work, you know immediately — and these did. That's not something I'd say for every supplement in the world, but for allergy meds? Totally acceptable. That said, if you can plan ahead, Amazon year-supply bottles are still the better deal. Band-Aids are another situational win. You don't always need premium adhesion. Sometimes you just need to cover a small cut so it's not open to bacteria. Especially with kids, cheap band-aids are fine for minor stuff. They also carry: Isopropyl alcohol Hydrogen peroxide Cotton balls Vaseline (small tubs, but useful) All of that belongs in a first aid kit or backup stash. Feminine Products and Personal Care Emergency feminine products from Dollar Tree work. They're not luxury, but they do the job — and in preparedness, function beats comfort. Toothbrushes are fine as backups. Toothpaste is okay if you need it right now, but the unit price usually isn't great. Bulk buying elsewhere still wins. Still, if you're already there and you're low? Grab it. Batteries: Garbage, But Sometimes Useful Garbage Dollar Tree batteries are bad. No debate. They're trash in high-drain devices. But here's the thing: not everything is high drain. TV remotes? They work fine. You'll get months out of them. And because they're so cheap, you can slowly build a backup stash just by grabbing a pack here and there. We even use them as emergency backups in our propane on-demand water heater. It takes four AA batteries. No batteries means no hot water. Rechargeables are the primary solution — but if something goes sideways, Dollar Tree batteries will still get us through showers and dishes for a while. In an emergency, “good enough” is still good enough. Food, Snacks, and Bug-Out Bag Items Dollar Tree snacks are solid: Granola bars Protein bars Instant coffee Coffee packets Drink mixes They also carry instant espresso powder sometimes — and if you see it, grab it. That stuff is legit and fantastic for preps. Small jars of instant coffee are great for pantries. Packets are better for bug-out bags. Cheap energy drinks and drink mixes are easy morale wins. Tools, Electronics, and Stuff You Should Never Buy This is where people screw up. Do not buy: Tools Knives Electronics Headphones Power strips Surge protectors It's all junk. Unsafe junk in some cases. Trash bags, on the other hand, are useful. Survival trash bags can collect water, act as ground sheets, improvised ponchos, condensation traps — tons of uses. Duct tape and electrical tape are fine.Notebooks, pens, pencils? Totally fine.School supplies and basic learning materials? Acceptable. But tools and electronics? Hard pass. And for the love of God, don't buy the Dollar Tree steak. The Real Takeaway Dollar Tree isn't a survival store — but it is a supply store if you know what you're doing. Use it for: Hydration support Medical basics Cheap backups Snacks and morale Avoid it for: Tools Electronics Anything you'd trust your safety to Preparedness isn't about buying expensive gear. It's about knowing what works, what doesn't, and building layers that make sense. This is James from SurvivalPunk.com.DIY to survive.

In this episode of the Altium OnTrack podcast, host Zach Peterson sits down with Karen Burnham, chief engineer and founder of EMC United, to explore why electromagnetic compatibility remains one of the most challenging aspects of product development. Karen shares her journey from physics to NASA Johnson Space Center and eventually into EMC consulting, offering invaluable insights into why so many engineers struggle with compliance testing and what they can do about it.   Whether you're a new designer facing your first EMC test or a seasoned engineer looking to refine your approach, this conversation covers critical topics including common misconceptions about ground plane splits, the dangers of blindly following data sheet recommendations, requirements management pitfalls, and cost-effective pre-compliance strategies. Karen also discusses the evolving role of simulation and AI in EMC design review, upcoming changes to CISPR standards, and her practical seminars designed to help engineers avoid costly failures.  

This month's insomnia episode explores a provocative idea: can certain electronics actually help insomnia rather than harm it? While screens and devices are often blamed for poor sleep, some technologies aim to calm the nervous system, teach self-regulation, or reduce the anxiety that keeps insomnia going. In this episode we will:• Revisit the parasympathetic nervous system, the vagus nerve, and why the “wandering nerve” has fascinated medicine for centuries • Review the data for non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation and devices like Truvaga: what the research shows, what remains unclear, and whether stimulation truly reaches the vagus nerve • Undwerstand how implantable vagus nerve stimulators for epilepsy differ from consumer wellness devices, and why that matters for insomnia • Introduce the Muse Athena and the shift from passive neuromodulation to learning an active calming skill • Unpack what we know so far about the data behind Muse devices and insomnia • Consider Pavlok and behavioral technology: reducing anxiety around waking, oversleeping, and morning routines • Learn how to think about sleep tech without falling into orthosomnia or gadget-driven sleep anxietyProduced by: Maeve WinterMore Twitter: @drchriswinter IG: @drchriwinter Threads: @drchriswinter Bluesky: @drchriswinter The Sleep Solution and The Rested Child Thanks for listening and sleep well!

Stationed near Oxford during the height of the 2020 lockdown, a military couple struggled with isolation, opposite work schedules, and sleepless nights. Alone in the house for long stretches, she began noticing strange activity — always centered around the same corner of the living room.When her dog growled and her cat reacted to something unseen, she spoke directly to the presence, setting rules and boundaries. The response came swiftly and unmistakably.Objects moved with purpose. Electronics reacted as if correcting behavior. And one morning, a clear letter appeared on her husband's back — a mark neither of them could explain, but everyone else immediately recognized.Years later, the activity has returned, now communicating through a flickering lamp at the same hour each night. Whatever lives there doesn't feel hostile… but it does feel aware.#RealGhostStoriesOnline #MilitaryParanormal #HauntedOverseas #LockdownHaunting #SpiritCommunication #ParanormalPets #WitchingHour #TrueGhostStory #UnexplainedMarksLove real ghost stories?

Some hauntings announce themselves with footsteps, cold spots, or doors that slam in the night. Lynn's haunting wasn't like that. Hers began in the quiet moments—light that flicked on without a switch, a dog growling at empty corners, a pressure in the room that felt more curious than malevolent… but never entirely safe.For years she tried to laugh it off, even naming the unseen presence “George,” hoping humor would soften whatever walked the basement stairs or moved through her house with deliberate intent. But as she grew older, the activity grew bolder. Objects shifted. Electronics obeyed commands no one spoke aloud. And once, something revealed a face so distorted her mind refused to accept it as human.No one else in the house experienced it—not her father, not her siblings. Only Lynn. Only ever Lynn.#realghoststories #paranormalencounter #personalhaunting #supernaturalactivity #creepybasement #ghoststorypodcast #distortedentity #hauntedhouse #unexplainedphenomena #shadowpresenceLove real ghost stories?

Send us a textIn this second episode of a multi-part series on Basic Electronics for Recording Engineers, I continue with the fundamental principles of electrical and electronic devices, with an emphasis on practical implications. The explanations are simple, and therefore, incomplete. But I hope it will give you some insight on what goes on inside your equipment – and in the electrical world in general.This episode focuses on the relationship between electricity and magnetism and how that is used in our studios. I explain why our equipment requires DC to operate, but electrical power is distributed in AC form. That leads to an explanation of transformers, for power distribution, and to convert the incoming voltage to what we need. I also explain a bit about audio transformers.Our equipment needs DC internally to operate, and I talk about how AC is converted to DC. That introduces capacitors, and their many applications in our studios. I end with resonant circuits, which form the basis of equalizers, as well as how all musical instruments work.email: dwfearn@dwfearn.comwww.youtube.com/c/DWFearnhttps://dwfearn.com/

Some hauntings announce themselves with footsteps, cold spots, or doors that slam in the night. Lynn's haunting wasn't like that. Hers began in the quiet moments—light that flicked on without a switch, a dog growling at empty corners, a pressure in the room that felt more curious than malevolent… but never entirely safe.For years she tried to laugh it off, even naming the unseen presence “George,” hoping humor would soften whatever walked the basement stairs or moved through her house with deliberate intent. But as she grew older, the activity grew bolder. Objects shifted. Electronics obeyed commands no one spoke aloud. And once, something revealed a face so distorted her mind refused to accept it as human.No one else in the house experienced it—not her father, not her siblings. Only Lynn. Only ever Lynn.#realghoststories #paranormalencounter #personalhaunting #supernaturalactivity #creepybasement #ghoststorypodcast #distortedentity #hauntedhouse #unexplainedphenomena #shadowpresenceLove real ghost stories?

The Constraining Ministry of the Holy Spirit in the Life of the Believer – Part 2 | KIB 514 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing  

David Choe is a world-renowned artist, writer, podcaster and TV host. He tells how as a child, he was made to believe he was destined for greatness but also that he was a complete disgrace, leading him to channel his energy—including deep shame—into art that brought him global recognition. He shares about his addictions that put him on a decades-long cycle of extreme highs and lows and that forced him to eventually acknowledge and heal the childhood trauma he was battling inside. David shows up with raw, authentic presence to show us how we can transmute pain and shame into our best creative work and, more importantly, how complete vulnerability, especially about our hardest experiences, is the ultimate tool for forgiveness and self-acceptance. He also tells us the actual story about early Facebook, Pee-wee Herman and Santa Claus. Note: This conversation includes topics and language that may not be suitable for younger audiences.
