Jackson and Zammit are here to talk about expanding the game! We go over some terrible ideas we had and re-purposing old ideas into brand new concepts.The Kickstarter is going live on March 18 4pm UK time, we'll be asleep little babies as it's 3am for us but that means we're going to be playing the Tabletop Simulator version of Jarren's Outpost the day before AND the day of the launch on the Sanspants Radio Twitch channel. Keep abreast of socials (the SP+ Discord and the Facebook stuff and nonsense group, everything else I hate looking at) for the exact times but atm it's roughly looking like 7pm Melbourne time on Tuesday 18 and 9am Melbourne time Wednesday 19. I'm not doing the conversions for you. I'm not your dad. If my son asked I'd do it for him. But that's it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As of the latest updates, Tucker Carlson has been involved in several significant developments and public engagements. Recently, Carlson had a lengthy discussion with Piers Morgan in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which was part of Morgan's 'Uncensored' series. During this conversation, they covered a wide range of topics including the second term of President Donald Trump, the Biden Administration, wokeism, Western civilization, and freedom of speech. The discussion also touched on historical figures like Winston Churchill and current geopolitical issues, including the Ukraine-Russia conflict and the role of Putin[2].In terms of his media ventures, Tucker Carlson's podcast and video content continue to be updated regularly. His show often features guests discussing contentious issues, such as the involvement of USAID in Ukraine, allegations against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and the impact of U.S. foreign policy on domestic issues. For instance, a recent episode featured human rights lawyer Bob Amsterdam discussing how USAID is allegedly involved in undermining Christianity in Ukraine[1].On the business front, Fox Corp. has acquired Red Seat Ventures, a media company that hosts creator-led podcasts and digital media entities, including those of Tucker Carlson, Bill O'Reilly, and Megyn Kelly. Red Seat Ventures will operate as a standalone entity within Fox's Tubi Media Group, allowing these personalities to maintain their independence while expanding their reach[3].Carlson's recent comments and actions have, as usual, sparked varied reactions. Some critics have accused him of spreading misinformation and propaganda, while his supporters continue to appreciate his candid and often controversial views. For example, some listeners have questioned the accuracy of certain claims made on his show, such as the assertion that mRNA vaccines can change DNA[1].In the realm of public interactions, Carlson has been in the spotlight for his meetings with influential figures. Notably, he had an exclusive interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin last year, which garnered significant attention. This interview was part of a broader engagement with Russian intellectual Alexander Dugin, whose views are supported by Russian oligarch Konstantin Malofeyev. These interactions reflect Carlson's ongoing influence in international political discourse and his ability to engage with key global figures[5].Overall, Tucker Carlson remains a pivotal figure in media and politics, with his content and public appearances continuing to generate significant discussion and debate.Thank you for listening to the Tucker Carlson news tracker podcast.

Grab your favorite brew and join me at the Pig and Whistle Inn in Stormwind as we dissect the highs and lows of WoW's most controversial expansions. This time, we're putting Cataclysm under the microscope. Despite its bright spots like revamped Deadmines and Whaling Caverns, Cataclysm's clunky transition from classic to retail WoW left many players feeling the burn. We tackle the inconsistency in class mechanics, especially for Boomkins, and the mixed PvP and PvE experiences it offered. Although Firelands stands out as a thrilling raid, the overall erratic gameplay experience places Cataclysm at the bottom of my list.But it's not all doom and gloom—let's reminisce about some of WoW's shining moments. From Legion's epic Antorus raid to Mists of Pandaria's inventive mechanics like Symbiosis for Druids, these expansions truly evolved the game. Features like Timeless Isles and Halfhill farming added layers of excitement, enriching the WoW universe. As we transition to the Shadowlands era, we explore the controversies around its gearing system and how it influenced both the PvP landscape and player engagement. Vibrant realms and captivating raids like Castle Nathria couldn't overshadow the drag of constant gameplay requirements. Tune in for a nostalgic journey through WoW's evolving landscape and the experiences that have kept us hooked. Hope you all enjoy and hope you relate to any of these stories.

Yasmeen Altaji gives a round-up of today's trends

"Don't be afraid to ask questions early and often when working with engineering firms or general contractors on your water treatment program... Getting it right the first time is the easiest and least painful way to a long-term successful water treatment program." – Walker Burnette In this episode of the Scaling Up H2O podcast, host Trace Blackmore sits down with Walker Burnette, Water Treatment Consultant at Southeastern Laboratories to explore the importance of early involvement in water treatment projects for new and expanding facilities. Together, they uncover essential lessons, challenges, and best practices that can make or break long-term success in industrial water management.   A Chance Encounter That Sparked a Career  Walker Burnette's journey into the water treatment industry began unexpectedly when he reconnected with Steve Tuning, a lifelong family friend and his father's college roommate, at his former workplace. This chance meeting led to a conversation that launched his career in water treatment. Now, Walker's former employer has become his client, showcasing the unique blend of personal history and professional growth that shaped his path.  Bridging Water Treatment Gaps in Construction  Walker Burnette addresses the common oversight of water treatment during new and expanded construction projects. In North Carolina's fast-growing landscape, Walker has seen firsthand how rushed timelines can lead to missed steps in planning. Sharing lessons from successes and pitfalls, this discussion aims to highlight essential practices to ensure water treatment is prioritized and integrated effectively from the start.  What steps do you take to set yourself up for success in the bid process?  Walker Burnette emphasizes the importance of understanding a facility's unique requirements when bidding on water treatment projects. Recognizing that each system may need specialized solutions, he advises focusing on value rather than competing solely on price. While not every bid will be successful, prioritizing quality and comprehensive proposals leads to long-term success and better client outcomes.  Why do you need to have relationships with people?  Walker Burnette highlights that building strong relationships is key in the competitive world of water treatment project bidding. Helping clients understand the value behind different approaches can set you apart. When clients receive various bids, confusion can arise about the differing strategies. Having a trusted relationship allows you to step in, clarify the benefits, and guide them through making an informed decision. Establishing a reputation with engineering firms and past collaborators can often lead to winning projects for the right reasons—trust and proven expertise. Prioritizing Communication for Water Treatment Success  Clear communication and proactive planning in water treatment projects is essential. He recommends reviewing P&IDs (Piping and Instrument Diagrams) early to find cost-saving opportunities and streamline processes. Staying engaged throughout the project ensures inspections and coordination, preventing last-minute issues and promoting smooth execution.  Checklist for Water Treatment Project Planning and Execution:  1. Identify System to be Treated: List systems requiring treatment and needed equipment/chemicals.  2. Verify Lead Times: Confirm equipment lead times and communicate any delays to the end user.  3. Set Project Timelines: Track key delivery dates and installation milestones.  4. Plan for Pipe Cleaning/Passivation: Ensure pipes are flushed or treated before startup to avoid issues.  5. Communicate with Stakeholders/End Users: Keep the end user informed and ensure all steps are completed for a smooth project launch.  The Critical Step of Passivation  Passivation is presented as one of the most important phases of commissioning new systems. Walker and Trace discuss why passivation is often overlooked, the consequences of skipping it, and how to effectively advocate for this essential step.   Considering All Stakeholders and EH&S in Water Treatment Projects  Understanding the needs of all stakeholders, including engineers, contractors, operators, and end-users, is essential in water treatment projects. Involving the Department of Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) early ensures chemicals are compatible, stored correctly, and disposed of safely. Walker emphasizes addressing these considerations from the start positions water treatment professionals as proactive consultants, avoiding last-minute issues and disruptions to project timelines.  Integrating New Equipment in Existing Facilities  Adding new equipment to an existing facility requires careful planning. Unlike new buildings, end-user involvement is higher as the facility is already operational. He stresses that new systems often need isolation and separate treatment before integration, as simply connecting and activating them can lead to issues. Proper preparation and communication are key to successful integration.  Join the Conversation  Have any thoughts on today's episode?

Moran & Michael Lennington  Drop by Drop with James In today's episode, I'm on my soapbox. My soapbox topic is…conductivity versus TDS…or Total Dissolved Solids. You might have expected something a little meatier, but conductivity and TDS are often used interchangeably. FAR too often they are. They are NOT the same thing though. Conductivity and TDS may be RELATED, but they measure two COMPLETELY different things. Conductivity measures the ability of a water solution to conduct an electrical current. It is quick and easily automated, only requiring a conductivity probe and a meter. Total Dissolved Solids or TDS, on the other hand, is the concentration of dissolved solids in a water solution. Measuring the TDS requires evaporating a volume of water to dryness and weighing the solids that remain. TDS takes a lot more time and labor to perform than a conductivity test.  So how are conductivity and TDS related? The conductivity of water is determined by the type and concentration of dissolved solids. Low TDS solutions typically have lower conductivities. High TDS solutions typically have higher conductivities. There can be a relationship between the two. If the water quality is consistent, conductivity can provide a practical way to monitor the TDS, but this relationship should be verified regularly.  Some may be thinking, “But my handheld meter displays the answer in TDS. What gives?” Your handheld meter is doing math internally to convert from conductivity, which is measuring, to TDS. It is not ACTUALLY measuring TDS. As a rule of thumb in the industrial water samples we often see, the actual TDS is typically 65-75% of the measured conductivity. This can vary, however, depending upon the ions in the water.
