Podcasts about Freezing

Mary Anastasia O'Grady explains how the US is aggressively targeting Cuban regime elites by freezing assets and revoking visas. To facilitate the regime's collapse, O'Grady stresses that the US must present a viable post-collapse plan for "Day Zero" to avoid chaos, bloodshed, or oligarchic asset-grabbing. She advocates for securing property rights to encourage external investments and suggests using multilateral peacekeepers to maintain order. She supports a transitional board of Cuban-Americans and Americans to manage investments and prevent former military elites from seizing privatized state assets. (4)

Today, I will cover our usual segments as well as Last week, a listener asked a question that led us on an adventure about how to let go of the clutter in your life that are things you may not be things you LOVE but you love the person or memory that they trigger discuss what to do when all your green beans get ripe at the same time. Spoiler: You handle too many green beans much differently than too many tomatoes. Featured Event:Farm to Table Experience on September 19th at 1pm at the Holler Homestead in Lancaster, TN. $115 https://livingfreeintennessee.com/event/farm-to-table/ Sponsor 1: The Wealthsteading Podcast https://wealthsteading.com/ Sponsor 2: Strong Roots Resources: https://strongrootsresources.com/ Tales From The Prepper Pantry Green bean update 53 Smoked butts Schnitzel Saves the Day Shelving Idea for Basecamp Classroom Frugality Tip Most of us have tile somewhere in our house, and I have tried all kinds of things to get the grout lines clean. I personally have spent lots of money on a variety of cleaners. Well here you go: grab some peroxide and a toothbrush and prepare to be as amazed as I was. The grout looks brand new. So stop trying all of these weird chemicals that don't actually clean anything and go back to the basics.  Operation Independence Duplex Update Summer Time brings me memories of lazy days at the family pool, mom in the kitchen processing food or in the garden tending things. Picking strawberries at 4 in the morning, then getting home by 3 or 4 to shower and do it all over again. It was lazy but not lazy. There was always a sense of go with the flow in the summer where I grew up. And back then, a kid could still earn pocket money in the fields. Sometimes I miss that life, but it was also work. And perhaps that is why I find it fun to do the garden work or the canning work. Once again, I got the call every homesteader wants to get: Hey do you want all the green beans in one of my rows? I have too many. And it was hot, I had just spent 2 days painting and only had a single day to prepare for a Saturday event here. So I said. YES PLEASE! Last week we talked about how to process an abundance of tomatoes by basically NOT processing them. This week it is beans. Ways to preserve green beans Pickled Blanched and frozen Blanched and freeze dried Blanched and dehydrated Canned Timeline Canning and pickling Blanching and Freezing or drying Compost   Pre-freezing green beans for canning still means you need to blanch them so - why bother? My Secret to processing so many beans in just 24 hours - it was either a bushel and a half or 2 bushels. Presto electric canner Tapping into the in-between times One Last Batch at night How the supplies are organized Cleanup in between batches so I could also cook meals In sum: Hard work but not really that hard Recipes with green beans Steamed or boiled, drained, butter and spiced Pan seared Roasted Green Bean Salads Green bean eggy saute Make it a great week.  

At thirty-nine, Cat Pierce had no marriage, no career, no baby, and no plan. If you did the math on her life the way we're all quietly taught to, she was failing. The music money was gone. The marriage was over. She had never been the one left before, and suddenly she was. And then she said the thing that made me put my pen down. Underneath all of it, she felt a flicker of freedom. Because for the first time she could admit she wasn't fulfilled, and now she got to build the life she actually wanted. I found Cat the way half the internet did, one of those videos where her whole inner monologue plays across her face without a word, and I've been a little mesmerized ever since. I wanted to know what she was drinking. Turns out the answer is a life she made twice. First act: signed at nineteen, fifteen years on the road with her sister, opening for Coldplay and Elton John, writing the song that became the sound of an entire generation. Second act, the one that got me: a beauty line she started while trying to conceive, a tarot deck she drew by hand and published, a New York Times feature, a memoir, and a daughter she had at forty-four with donor eggs and a husband she called in by writing him down on a list. None of it happened on the timeline she thought she was failing. That's the whole thing. We get into the rockstar years and what fifteen years of needing to be seen quietly did to her. The collapse, and the strange grace that grew out of it. Whether she believes we're all a little bit witches. And the line I keep repeating to every woman I know: you can miss every timeline you ever set for yourself and still land somewhere better than the place you were aiming. This is for the woman who watches everyone else hit the milestones and keeps quietly moving her own goalposts back. The one grieving a version of her life that never showed up, not yet realizing a completely different one already did. You are not behind. You are not late. You're just early to a life you haven't met yet. This is Cat Pierce. New episodes of Not Alone every Wednesday. Subscribe so you never miss one.

What happens when a journalist who hates the cold decides to spend three years immersing himself in one of the most extreme athletic subcultures on Earth? In this fascinating conversation, Darin sits down with award-winning journalist and author Chris Ballard to explore the world behind his book The Plunge. After a hip replacement at just 42 forced Chris to rethink his identity as an athlete, cold water initially became a tool for recovery. But curiosity eventually pulled him much deeper, from cold showers and plunges to competitive ice swimming in water below 41°F and ultimately representing the United States at the Ice Swimming World Championships. Together, Darin and Chris separate cold exposure hype from reality, explore what actually happens to the body in freezing water, and reveal why the greatest benefits Chris discovered weren't necessarily physical. They dive into resilience, emotional regulation, mental health, community, our increasingly comfortable modern lives, and why voluntarily doing difficult things may provide something many of us desperately need. What You'll Learn How a hip replacement at 42 led Chris into the world of cold exposure What officially qualifies as ice swimming and why 41°F is the threshold Which popular cold plunge benefits may be overhyped Why community became the most surprising theme of Chris's research How body composition and genetics influence cold tolerance The real dangers of extreme cold and the 1-10-1 survival rule How repeated cold exposure may train emotional regulation and resilience Why cultures in Finland and Denmark treat cold exposure completely differently than Americans How cold swimming has helped some people navigate grief, depression, and isolation Why deliberately doing hard things may matter more than ever in a world built around convenience Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Alkemis 00:03:24 – Introducing Chris Ballard and the world of cold water swimming 00:04:29 – The hip replacement that changed Chris's life at 42 00:05:40 – How NBA recovery techniques led him to cold exposure 00:07:34 – Going from cold plunges to competitive ice swimming 00:09:40 – Inside the extreme subculture of swimming below 41°F 00:11:01 – The challenge that convinced Chris to compete himself 00:12:17 – Ice swimming and the original spirit of the Winter Olympics 00:13:21 – How to safely begin training for cold exposure 00:15:14 – What officially qualifies as ice swimming? 00:16:20 – Separating cold plunge science from hype 00:17:15 – The most surprising benefit wasn't physical 00:18:05 – Why cold swimming creates such powerful community 00:19:29 – Cold exposure, loneliness, and human connection 00:20:45 – Sponsor: Shakeology 00:22:33 – Why actually getting in the water changed Chris's reporting 00:23:47 – The surprising body type advantage in cold water 00:25:19 – Grandmothers, elite athletes, and the mental side of ice swimming 00:26:09 – When cold water becomes genuinely dangerous 00:27:02 – The 1-10-1 rule for surviving cold water 00:29:41 – Chris attempts an ice kilometer 00:30:28 – Has modern comfort made us weaker? 00:32:19 – Why Finland laughs at America's cold plunge protocols 00:33:36 – The cold plunge benefits that may be overhyped 00:35:51 – Can you train your body to generate heat? 00:36:51 – Anticipatory thermogenesis and extreme cold adaptation 00:38:12 – How three years of cold exposure changed Chris's body 00:39:44 – Training emotional regulation through voluntary discomfort 00:40:48 – Building resilience one difficult moment at a time 00:42:02 – Why modern life is starving us of accomplishment 00:44:13 – AI, shortcuts, and why difficult work still matters 00:46:30 – Why Chris believes experiential storytelling can't be replaced 00:48:55 – The extraordinary people Chris discovered while writing The Plunge 00:49:57 – Cold water, grief, and finding a reason to keep moving 00:50:52 – How cold swimming became a mental health lifeline 00:52:09 – A global community united by challenge 00:53:51 – What Chris's cold exposure routine looks like today 00:54:27 – Why swimming may be the perfect lifelong sport 00:55:05 – Making the U.S. Ice Swimming National Team 00:56:05 – Could ice swimming become an Olympic sport? 00:57:17 – Why swimming through freezing water feels completely different 00:58:01 – Cold water forces you completely into the present moment 00:58:29 – Cold swimming, men's mental health, and escaping your thoughts 00:59:13 – What's next for Chris Ballard 00:59:35 – Accomplishment versus scrolling 01:00:00 – Final thoughts and making cold exposure accessible Thank You to Our Sponsors Alkemis: Go to https://alkemispaint.com/ and use code DARIN10 for 10% off your order.

Mary Katharine Ham and Vic Matus discuss new revelations about Dr. Anthony Fauci's concerns about the COVID vaccine causing miscarriages in the first trimester, as MKH reminisces about the immense social pressure and shaming pregnant women faced for declining the shot, as she did in early 2021. They also talk about AOC's egg-freezing journey (recorded before news broke that she broke up with her fiance), and how it's a soft presidential announcement, then we join her as she laughs off "Woke 1" without taking any accountability.

Happy Wednesday! As you'll no doubt know by now, the three of us have been off the EIClock for the last couple of weeks for our yearly break- and we've been using the opportunity to dig through the archives and re-release some old favs, all timers & under-appreciated gems.This week we're going back two years to when the three of us got to together to discuss fertility, PCOS and egg freezing. Back in 2024 the actress Florence Pugh opened up about having her endometriosis diagnosis dismissed by a doctor and it made us want to dive deeper into women's healthcare. Why do so many of us feel alone, in pain and under-informed when it comes to what is happening with our reproductive and gynaecological care? We share all of our thoughts and yours.Thank you a million for listening and for being so open with us about an enormously important issue.

AOC announced that, at the age of 36, she is freezing her eggs so she can keep pursuing her career (and run for president). This type of planning is referred to in the Bible as "alazoneia".

Greg Peterson says the only place that lack lives is between our ears — and if you've ever stood in your kitchen staring at 50 pounds of tomatoes, you know he's right. We talk about what to do with all of it. Greg hosts The Urban Farm Podcast (he just passed episode 1,000), and this one runs on both our feeds. We get into the harvest mindset, the one mistake that turns abundance into panic, and a long list of ways to put tomatoes, zucchini, and basil up for winter — including a few I'd never tried until this year. If you're new here: I'm Wendi Bergin, and I believe preparedness brings peace. Not fear. Peace. Chapters 00:00 — Welcome, and why we recorded this for both our audiences 01:20 — "The only place lack lives is between our ears" 02:10 — 40 tomato plants, worm composting, and volunteer tomatoes everywhere 03:30 — Seed starting and seed saving: what a grex is and why you'd want one 04:45 — Wendi's confession: she won't eat a fresh tomato 06:15 — The biggest mistake people make when harvest season starts 07:20 — Freeze first, can later — handling the early trickle 08:15 — Jars, lids, and buying in bulk before you're desperate 10:10 — Pint or quart? Wide mouth or regular? 11:30 — Why Wendi stopped canning seasoned sauce and cans it plain 13:40 — Why tomatoes need added lemon juice now 14:10 — Water bath vs. pressure canning, explained simply 16:00 — Tested recipes, rebel canning, and "when in doubt, throw it out" 19:30 — Bone broth and canning elderberry juice 21:10 — Fixing watery salsa, and the steam juicer trick 22:30 — Freezing tomatoes to release the water 23:40 — Don't throw out tomato water: stews, chili, and cooking pasta in it 25:10 — Roasted tomato sauce, skins on 26:00 — The two separate steps of canning: the recipe and the preserving 26:50 — Azure Standard, and what a bulk buying club actually is 29:00 — Freshly milled grain, Sue Becker, and the sourdough question 31:45 — Grain mills: NutriMill, WonderMill, MockMill 34:00 — Tomato powder and everything you can do with it 36:00 — Too much zucchini: relish, pickles, fritters, mock pineapple 39:00 — Zucchini lasagna with no pasta at all 40:20 — Preparedness brings peace 43:20 — Basil: pesto, basil salt, basil sugar 44:30 — Greg's 1,000 episodes and where to find us both A few things worth writing down The number one harvest-season mistake is walking in unprepared. Count your jars and your lids before the tomatoes come in. Today's tomatoes are less acidic than the ones our mothers canned. Added lemon juice is what makes water bath canning safe for them. Water bath handles high-acid foods — fruits, pickles, relishes, jams, acidified tomatoes. Pressure canning is required for meats and vegetables. Canning plain and seasoning later is simpler, safer, and more versatile. The canning process can throw off the flavor of herbs and spices. Follow tested recipes. USDA guidelines, the Ball Blue Book, your canner's manual. When in doubt, throw it out — the jar is worth more than the beans.

Drake Says He Hates Being Called A Trick | AOC Announces She's Freezing Her Eggs by Greg Adams

Today on The Social, a flight to Toronto was canceled because a child refused to get in their seat. Then, would you pay half for a date after the fact? We dive into the “revenge payment” dating trend! And, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is freezing her eggs. Will this help or hurt her political career? Plus, what’s the difference between late and fashionably late? And, Gen Z want their parents to pay for family holidays.

This is a short preview of a patreon bonus episode that features two stories, both about camping. If you want to hear the full version, you can hear it right now at www.patreon.com/otherworldCamp Wolfeboro: At Boy Scout camp 14-year-old Ryan and a small group of scouts set out to test a local ghost story about a fatal accident near the river. Standing by the camp's bridge in total darkness, they waited to see if the rumored apparition would actually show up.The Displaced Tent: While camping alone by an isolated freshwater spring in Newport, Washington, 20-year-old Drew was abruptly jolted awake from a terrifying nightmare in the middle of his final night. Freezing cold and struggling to move inside his zipped sleeping bag, he unzipped his staked tent only to realize his surroundings were completely wrong.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 2 (8.7) Neil Saavedra, the Fork Reporter, is with us as the Ridge Fire doubles to roughly 1,000 acres and a fire-nado about 100 feet high spins over the Grapevine, with a motorcycle crash separately jamming the 15 southbound through Victorville and Hesperia. Angel checks in later with better news — the 5 southbound has reopened in Gorman. But the heart of this hour belongs to Stefan "The Foosh." It's been exactly one year since his accident, and we go back through that day, everything since, and one more thank you to the first responders and everyone who showed up when it counted. Conway, meanwhile, faces a far less noble line of questioning: is he a selfish lover? Then Saavedra takes us to Wildfork in Encino to talk flash freezing, and why your home freezer is failing you — it's simply too slow. Freeze food fast and the water inside forms tiny ice crystals instead of big ones, so cell walls stay intact and the flavor and juice stay put. His at-home fix: spread single pieces — berries, cuts of meat — on a baking sheet so nothing touches, freeze for two to three hours, then bag them. No clumps, no mush. #RidgeFire #Grapevine #Gorman #CaliforniaWildfires #FireTornado #LATraffic #I5 #I15 #Victorville #Hesperia #LosAngeles #LANews #FirstResponders #TheForkReporter #NeilSaavedra #FlashFreezing #FoodTips #KitchenHacks #Wildfork #Encino See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It has been an uncharacteristically white day in Wellington as snow dusted the capital. Further south the polar blast touched down too, with snow and ice causing treacherous road conditions and closing schools in Dunedin. The cold snap is set to continue over the next few days, with police warning drivers about black ice in sub-zero temperatures. Samantha Gee reports.

What a month! My AUDIO Host cut off the end of this episode. When I replaced the file, the podcastchers did not update. TRY TWO for those of you who did not listen to it on Youtube by now! Today, I want to talk to you about navigating homestead abundance when it feels like everything is happening at once: planting for fall, processing an abundant tomato harvest, livestock needing extra support in the heat, and personal things ramping up in the background.

Today, I want to talk to you about navigating homestead abundance when it feels like everything is happening at once: planting for fall, processing an abundant tomato harvest, livestock needing extra support in the heat, and personal things ramping up in the background. But mostly, today is about 120 pounds of tomatoes that appeared here yesterday during a week when I won't be around. We will also cover our usual Tuesday segments.

Dunedin university students continue to live in flats that are colder inside than out, despite meeting Healthy Home Standards. Tess Brunton reports.

Castle Street's 'The Feisty Goat' flat is freezing and damp. It's the subject of a case study by Aero Solutions, which has developed air sealing technology. Its founder Chris Caigel spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Stephen Grootes speaks to independent economist and fiscal policy specialist Thando Ngozo about whether Treasury's decision to withhold funding from 69 municipalities tackles the real problem in local government. While the move aims to enforce financial discipline, does it overlook deeper structural issues around municipal funding, governance and service delivery? In other interviews, Songezo Zibi, Parliament's standing committee on public accounts chair talks about the governance crisis at the Public Investment Corporation (PIC), where a wave of board resignations has left the institution without a quorum and raised questions about who Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana will appoint to restore stability.

Do you go silent mid-argument and only find the words hours later in the shower? Stay in a situationship you can't end? Become whoever they need that week until you can't find your own taste anymore? In this vulnerable solo episode of The Sabrina Zohar Show, Sabrina unpacks the freeze, fawn, and flop behaviors that get mislabeled as being chill, low maintenance, or the "cool girl." She explains why people-pleasing is really self-abandonment, why going blank isn't you being broken, and why the avoidant "they don't care" story is a lie we tell ourselves to feel better. Through raw personal stories about chasing older men, buying concert tickets to be chosen, and finally coming home to herself, Sabrina reframes these patterns as survival skills you can actually change. If you deal with anxiety, decision paralysis, overthinking, situationships, attachment wounds, or feeling "too much" or "too cold," this one is for you. There is nothing wrong with you, and it's time to stop earning everyone's love except your own.

How does one woman's unique approach to art and nature inspire her work? Genevieve Keeney-Vazquez hosts Ashley Worhol on "The Final Curtain Never Closes." Ashley's art features preserved butterflies and taxidermy, driven by her spiritual connection to nature. She raises butterflies like monarchs and swallowtails, observing their lifecycles and behaviors. Freezing preserves the colors, while a rehydration process keeps their muscles relaxed. Ashley’s art, including imperfections, appears in shadow boxes. Discussing taxidermy methods, she conveys her journey in the field over five years, showcased in various events. Butterflies hold symbolic value for her, seen as messages from angels or loved ones. Plan your visit to the museum today at nmfh.org and take a journey through over 30,000 square feet of fascinating history. Subscribe to The Final Curtain Never Closes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Learn more about Ashley's work HERE. Key Takeaways 1. The careful and ethical practices involved in preserving butterflies and other insects highlight the artistry and respect for nature that goes into taxidermy. Techniques like freezing, rehydrating muscles, and using shadow boxes are essential to maintain the beauty and longevity of preserved specimens. 2. The deep emotional bond between Ashley Worhol and the butterflies she raises and preserves demonstrates how animals, even insects, can have distinct personalities and become meaningful companions. This connection enriches her art and gives profound personal satisfaction. 3. Butterflies hold significant symbolic meaning, often representing spiritual messages or signs from loved ones who have passed away. This theme underscores the comforting and guiding role that nature can play in human lives, providing both emotional and spiritual support. 4. Ashley offers practical guidance for nurturing butterflies, such as the importance of milkweed for monarchs and rue for swallowtails. This advice encourages more people to engage with and contribute to butterfly conservation efforts in their own backyards. 5. The integration of preserved butterflies into art allows for a unique form of creative expression. Ashley's participation in markets and exhibitions, such as the witch's brew and Dio de los Muertos, showcases the intersection of art, nature, and commerce, making her work accessible and inspiring to a broader audience. Each theme reflects a layer of both practical knowledge and profound personal and emotional connection, emphasizing the multifaceted nature of Ashley Worhol's work with butterflies and art.

Larry Fessenden’s The Last Winter (2006) BRRRRRR! It’s so cold outside! Wait, what? The thermometer reads 102? What’s the date? Ah, forget the date; this is a brain freeze for you because we decided to cool you off with some freezing cold horror films just in time for the summer heat wave! YES! Cold themes are the icy wet blanket that puts you at unease. Friend of the Podcast, Ian Parker joins the Scariest Things, as we put our parkas on for a discussion of some frozen horror treats. Enjoy! Think of this as mid-summer air conditioning by way of podcast. Granted, we considered this episode much earlier in the year, but with so many PHFF interviews, it got pushed further into the summer months! So, let this discussion help cool you with shivers down your spine! Themes of isolation, where the environment itself adds to the danger of just being outside, never mind the killer or monster waiting for you out there. It’s that extra addition that makes just getting around in a horror movie difficult. Almost every variant of horror is represented with the overlay of freezing temperatures. Serial Killer / Psychopath? Check. Vampires? Multiple times. Zombies? Uh huh. Aliens and monsters? Plenty of them. It’s freezing PLUS scary antagonist. Frozen horror is often a melancholy affair. With the exception of perhaps Werewolves Within, these movies tend to be quite serious. The colors are desaturated and high contrast. The music is often spare, with hints of wind blowing in the background. The other partner of ice-cold horror is darkness. Many times the location will be in fringe or polar latitudes, limiting the amount of daylight. Characters subjected to freezing to death are different than those burning up in the desert. This is still a constitution check, though It’s less about exhaustion and more about willpower. That, and there might be a vampire waiting for you. They seem to be OK with freezing temperatures. Also, if you are making this a theme within your movie, you will want to have plenty of the activity outside. There are films that use bad weather to limit the locations (Think Pontypool (2008) or Climax (2018)). For this episode, we want the characters to endure the cold. Get out there! Don’t be a sissy! Just keep moving. That’ll keep you warm. The Podcast: Freezing Cold Horror: Episode 212 For this episode, we avoided repeating ourselves with Holiday Horror, particularly Christmas-themed horror, as we have already done that in Episode 114: Ho Ho Horror. Another similar theme, if you like this stuff, is Episode 172: Canadian Horror.

#729: The U.S. added 57,000 jobs in June. Economists expected 115,000. Meanwhile, inflation hit a three-year high. The Personal Consumption Expenditures index - the Fed's favorite inflation gauge - jumped 4.1 percent year-over-year. That combination creates a problem. Weak jobs usually push the Fed to cut rates. Hot inflation pushes them to hike. In this First Friday episode, we break down which way the Fed might lean at its September meeting, and why traders see an 80 percent chance rates stay frozen for now. We also dig into Kevin Warsh's debut as Fed Chairman. His first official statement ran only 132 words, one of the shortest in Fed history. He cut forward guidance – the practice of making guesses about what the Fed will do next. He removed the names of dissenting voters. His statement mentioned price stability but skipped maximum employment, and we explain why that omission matters. Central banks around the world moved in the opposite direction. The European Central Bank raised rates for the first time since 2023, responding to a 10.9 percent surge in energy prices. The Bank of Japan hiked rates to their highest level in 31 years. Australia, Norway, Indonesia, the Philippines and Israel joined in. Brazil was the only country to cut rates – down to 14.25 percent. We cover China's consumer spending decline, the first since the pandemic ended, driven by a 16.1 percent drop in auto sales and a real estate crash that drained middle-class wealth. We end the episode with a deep dive into NYC's rent freeze – who gets the benefit, and who pays the price? ⏱️ Timestamps: Note: Timestamps will vary on individual listening devices based on dynamic advertising segments.

Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman unpack the latest defensive maneuvers by centrist Democrats. The newly formed Promise to America coalition is scrambling to block progressive momentum following primary victories by politicians like Zohran Mamdani. Freezing rents and embracing class-based politics are proving highly popular but deeply threatening to the traditional party establishment. Shifting to the judicial branch reveals an equally turbulent landscape. A recent 6-3 Supreme Court decision just dismantled a 90-year precedent regarding the executive branch. The ruling allows the president to fire independent regulators at will while conveniently carving out a protective exemption for the Federal Reserve. This stark contrast exposes the underlying economic incentives shaping our current legal framework. Our co-hosts wrap up with a sobering look ahead at the nation's 250th anniversary. Decrepit conditions at the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool serve as a grim metaphor for an ongoing existential crisis. Rather than a grand celebration of independence, the crumbling infrastructure perfectly mirrors the current state of the American experiment.

Odysseus is the Founder and CEO of Phylax Systems, and Declan Fox is the VP and Head of Linea at Consensys.The rsETH exploit drained $292M from Aave, but a simple rule or circuit breaker could have prevented bigger losses!In this episode, Odysseus and Declan walk us through how Phylax's DeFi circuit breaker works: code currently running on the Linea sequencer that checks every transaction against a set of protocol-defined policies before it's added to a block. Already live on Linea, Phylax has stopped over 4,000 drain attempts and protected $1.5M in cumulative volume, including a real attack on 0x where users were being drained through an immutable contract. They also cover what institutions are still waiting for before coming onchain, and how banks can build secure, private composable environments powered by Ethereum.------

This week we are doing something a bit different. Often this podcast is a space for a deep dive into an article that you can read about on the Velo website. This week we are instead going to learn more about contributor Lisa Charlebois. Mike Levy and I sat down to chat with Charlebois about a ride she once did. This wasn't an ordinary ride, though. Charlebois does a lot of big rides, but this one was even bigger. It is called the Midnight Sun Randonneur, and it is a 1,215-kilometer (755-mile) loop that starts six hours north of Stockholm in Umeå, Sweden, pushes north into the Arctic Circle to the Norwegian Sea, and then loops back. Because the event takes place during the Scandinavian midsummer, there is no real sunset, just a constant daylight that messes with your sense of time. The mass start kicks off at 11:00 PM, and riders navigate to checkpoints roughly every 100 kilometers where they refuel on local items like deep-fried dumplings and moose meat sandwiches. Beyond that framework, it is an unsupported ride with a 90-hour time limit. You carry your own gear and sleep when you can. To put her pacing into perspective, Lisa's first day on the bike covered 470 kilometers (292 miles) with over 15,500 feet of climbing. That initial push took 19 hours of moving time through rolling hills and endless Swedish forests before the landscape drastically shifted. Just in case you thought things weren't hard enough, the third day is where the weather broke. Lisa and the remaining riders faced roughly 200 kilometers of driving, freezing rain. Of course, like any ultra-endurance event, crossing the finish line was met with no fanfare. Does that sound like your idea of a good time? Maybe not, but that's the kind of thing Charlebois brings to the table when she shares her perspective about a bike. Listen to the full discussion to hear all the twists and turns and find out if Charlebois would ever consider doing it again. For more information about the event visit the Midnight Sun Randonneur website.

What happens when a group of Dungeon Masters get on a panel at FanX and start riffing about improv? Exactly what you'd expect — a lively, unscripted conversation about the skill every DM needs but almost nobody practices on purpose.In this live panel episode, Justin sits down with three fellow DMs to talk about improv at the table — what it looks like, why it's hard, and how to get better at it without freezing up when your players go completely off the rails.Topics we touched on: • Building improv confidence before you ever sit behind the screen • What to do in the moment when players throw you for a loop • How to keep your players involved so improv feels collaborative • Recovering gracefully when something comes out of your mouth and you immediately regret itThanks for listening to today's show.

We're told that we can have it all if we time it right: build your career first, then start a family. But what does the medicine actually say? Amanda Goetz sits down with Dr. Lucky Sekhon, a double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist at RMA of New York and author of the USA Today bestseller The Lucky Egg. Dr. Lucky busts the biggest fertility myths (no, your fertility doesn't fall off a cliff at 35), explains why so-called "fertility checks" are mostly marketing, and breaks down the real difference between freezing eggs and freezing embryos. She also flips the script on a part of the story we tend to ignore—male-factor infertility, which accounts for roughly half of cases—and why family building is a team sport. Women shouldn't carry all the burden! It's an honest, science-forward, and surprisingly reassuring conversation about the fertility knowledge gap—and how it's okay to not have it all figured out in your 20s. . This episode gets into both the emotional and physical considerations of fertility treatment, and we think it's a worthwhile listen, regardless of what stage of life you might find yourself in—and even if you're undecided on the whole kids thing. Key Takeaways: Fertility doesn't fall off a cliff at 35. It's a gradual continuum, and many women conceive naturally into their 30s and 40s. AMH measures egg count, not fertility, and a low number shouldn't cause panic. Most pop-in or at-home "fertility checks" are marketing. No single test can predict whether you'll struggle to conceive. Start paying attention in your 20s by understanding your cycle and spotting red flags like PCOS or endometriosis. And pay attention to your family history. Freezing eggs and freezing embryos are different—eggs offer more flexibility and stay solely yours, while embryos give clearer answers but need both partners' sign-off. When choosing a clinic, ask about its actual thaw and IVF success rates, not just whether you like the doctor. Male-factor infertility is something we need to talk more about. Every day stress doesn't cause infertility, but insulin resistance is an under-recognized and treatable driver worth checking.

Despite mass Russian assaults on Ukrainian cities, Moscow's progress on the battlefield stalls. Also, police in Paris suspend dozens of school assistants in more than 100 schools, preschools and nurseries for abusing youngsters. And, Venezuela's opposition leader María Corina Machado says she is planning to return to Venezuela “very soon” and expresses confidence that the country will emerge from authoritarian rule. Plus, a conversation about using the beloved axolotl as a World Cup mascot in Mexico as the real animal remains critically endangered.We are aiming to raise $30,000 by June 30.

Germany is racing to rearm as the war in Ukraine shakes its sense of security, forcing the country to confront its military past as it strengthens its military might. Correspondent Bill Whitaker observes basic training in northwest Germany and speaks with defense minister Boris Pistorius in Berlin to find out how Germany plans to achieve its aim of building the most powerful armed forces in Europe.  Fertility rates in the United States are currently near historic lows, largely because fewer women are having children in their 20s. As women delay starting families, many are opting for egg freezing, the process of retrieving and freezing unfertilized eggs, to preserve their fertility for the future. Does egg freezing provide women with a way to pause their biological clock? Correspondent Lesley Stahl interviews women who have decided to freeze their eggs and explores what the process entails physically, emotionally and financially. She also speaks with fertility specialists and an ethicist about success rates, equity issues and the increasing market potential of egg freezing.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
