Here on the podcast we've several episodes with guests who have told the story of being attacked by an animal. These include a grizzly bear, a monkey, a shark, a rattlesnake, a tiger, a pair of dogs, an alligator, and a swarm of yellow jackets. But we haven't yet had a story about a hippo attack. Until today. My guest today is Honor. She was traveling throughout Africa and she learned about the list of animals in Africa that cause the most fatalities. Hippos are number TWO on that list, and number one may surprise you. She told me what it was in our conversation. Hippos look like they would just want to roll over and scratch their belly. But don't be fooled. They are extremely territorial, and can get very angry. And, as Honor saw first-hand, they are also quite fast.

John-Henry Westen explores the dramatic and public conversion of Jordan Schwarzenberger, former secular media executive and creative force behind the Sidemen, to traditional Catholicism. Once immersed in aggressively liberal environments, Schwarzenberger now critiques modernism and atheism as cultural dead ends. His remarks, including a striking BBC interview, offer a bold testimony to the power of truth and tradition in elite cultural circles. Rather than promoting vague spirituality, he embraces rigorous doctrine and the authority of the Church.HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

Their biggest fear isn't disagreement, it's discovery. Being found out. And once that happens, everything becomes “dangerous,” “racist,” or “misinformation,” depending on which word fits on a chyron.The political left used to believe sunlight was the best disinfectant. Now they install blackout curtains and accuse the sun of hate speech. Because once citizens started recording what local governments were quietly tolerating, the spell broke. And that's the story Democrats cannot control. Not ballots yet, but cameras. Not voting machines, but iPhones. The age of the credentialed liar is being interrupted by people who didn't ask permission to notice things.Minnesota was supposed to be the wholesome Midwestern buffer. Turns out it's a case study. Massive fraud cases involving nonprofit abuse and taxpayer-funded programs didn't just slip through the cracks. They were marched through the front door, stamped approved, and waved along. The Feeding Our Future case alone involved over $250 million in alleged fraud tied to pandemic relief, with political connections that raised eyebrows across party lines.

It is important to study the Old Testament to understand how God unfolds the revelation of Christ in the New Testament. The Lord's Passover and the exodus out of Egypt's bondage point to Christ's delivering sacrifice. Just as the children of Israel had to apply the blood of the lamb to the door to be spared from death, we must apply the shed blood of Christ to our hearts. The whole event is a template for us as we act in faith today and receive His deliverance from the bondage of sin and death.

In this informative episode, host Bryan welcomes guest Bert for an in-depth discussion on the often-overlooked but critically important topic of electric heat in HVAC systems. The conversation takes listeners through both the common and uncommon issues that arise with electric heat installations, offering practical insights drawn from years of field experience. Bryan and Bert balance technical expertise with relatable storytelling, making complex electrical concepts accessible to both HVAC professionals and homeowners interested in understanding their heating systems. The discussion begins with some of the more dramatic (and rare) scenarios, including tales of objects left on heat strips during installation—from instruction manuals to spray glue cans—that have led to fires and property damage. These cautionary tales serve as memorable reminders of the importance of proper installation practices. The conversation then shifts to the far more common issues technicians encounter regularly, particularly loose electrical connections. With electric heat strips drawing substantial continuous amperage—often 20 amps per 5kW or more—poor connections can quickly lead to melted wire nuts, damaged terminal blocks, and potentially dangerous situations. Bryan and Bert emphasize that these connection problems often don't manifest until the heating season begins, making proper installation and inspection critical. Bryan and Bert also address widespread confusion around emergency heat versus auxiliary heat, explaining why emergency heat settings are largely obsolete in most modern heat pump applications. They clarify that in typical residential installations with 5-10kW heat strips, the electric backup cannot efficiently heat an entire home on its own, making the emergency heat function impractical. Instead, auxiliary heat should work in tandem with the heat pump to supplement heating during extremely cold conditions or defrost cycles. The hosts advocate for implementing lockout controls that prevent auxiliary heat from activating unless outdoor temperatures drop below 40 degrees, helping homeowners avoid unnecessarily high electricity bills while still maintaining comfort. The technical discussion extends to critical safety mechanisms, including interlocks, thermal overloads, and fusible links that prevent catastrophic failures. Bryan provides historical context on how interlock systems have evolved from high-voltage relay-based designs to modern control board logic, while warning against improper retrofitting that can create new hazards. The episode concludes with practical guidance on proper sizing, voltage considerations, airflow requirements, and the economics of electric heat versus other fuel sources. Throughout the conversation, Bryan and his guest stress that while electric heat is simple and reliable, it demands respect for proper electrical practices and thoughtful system design to ensure both safety and cost-effectiveness. Topics Covered Installation Horror Stories and Safety Hazards: Objects left on heat strips causing fires, including the infamous spray glue can incident Loose Electrical Connections: The #1 issue with electric heat systems and why continuous high amperage makes proper connections critical Wire Sizing and Breaker Matching: Common mistakes when replacing furnaces with heat pumps and the dangers of undersized wiring Emergency Heat vs. Auxiliary Heat: Why emergency heat is largely obsolete in modern residential applications and when auxiliary heat should actually engage Heat Output Calculations: Understanding BTU production per kilowatt (3.41 BTUs per watt) and why 5-10kW strips can't heat most homes alone Lockout Controls and Outdoor Thermostats: Implementing temperature-based restrictions to prevent unnecessary auxiliary heat operation above 40°F Interlock Systems Evolution: How blower/heat strip safety interlocks have changed from relay-based to control board logic Thermal Overloads and Fusible Links: The two types of safety devices that prevent overheating and fire hazards Defrost Cycle Operation: How auxiliary heat integrates with heat pump defrost sequences Balance Point and Dual Fuel Considerations: Economic and operational factors in choosing between electric and gas backup heat Voltage Variations and Sizing: Working with different voltage ratings (208V vs. 240V) and how they affect heat output Diagnostic Techniques: Using Ohm's law and resistance measurements to verify heat strip operation and specifications Airflow Requirements: Why proper air movement is critical for preventing overload trips and premature failures Electrical Safety Practices: Avoiding dangerous shortcuts like bypassing thermal limits or using undersized relays Energy Efficiency and Economics: Comparing the true cost-effectiveness of electric heat versus gas and heat pump operation   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Microsoft is burning through billions on AI, but Wall Street is finally demanding to see where the payoff is.

Elon Musk anunció esta misma semana la fusión de SpaceX y xAI, una operación que alumbra una compañía valorada en 1,25 billones de dólares y que consolida su estrategia de integración vertical. La absorción de una joven startup de inteligencia artificial por parte de una consolidada empresa aeroespacial busca crear un gigante tecnológico capaz de dominar tanto el hardware como el software del futuro, con la idea de replicar el modelo de control total que Apple ejerce sobre el iPhone. A pesar de que xAI apenas tiene dos años de vida, su chatbot Grok ya compite con gigantes como ChatGPT de OpenAI y Gemini de Google. Pero el sector de la inteligencia artificial exige inversiones astronómicas en semiconductores, centros de datos y personal muy cualificado para el desarrollo. Al fusionarla con SpaceX, Musk aprovecha la infraestructura y la solidez financiera de su empresa de cohetes, que, por lo demás, ya era cliente de xAI para optimizar el servicio de atención al cliente de Starlink. La justificación estratégica de este movimiento reside en una visión tan ambiciosa como revolucionaria, casi de ciencia ficción, la de trasladar los centros de datos a la órbita terrestre. Según Musk, la demanda energética de la inteligencia artificial es insostenible en la Tierra debido a su alto impacto medioambiental. Su propuesta consiste en desplegar una red orbital de hasta un millón de satélites que funcionen como centros de datos alimentados por grandes paneles de energía solar. En el espacio, la captación de energía fotovoltaica es hasta siete veces más eficiente que en la superficie terrestre. Este proyecto presenta desafíos técnicos y económicos colosales. Aunque SpaceX ha logrado reducir de forma notable el coste de poner satélites en órbita, especialmente con el Falcon Heavy y con el futuro Starship, transportar grandes cantidades de carga al espacio sigue siendo extremadamente caro y también complejo, ya que el mantenimiento es prácticamente imposible una vez que los equipos están en órbita. La fusión también responde a la afición que Musk tiene de cruzar recursos y contratos entre sus compañías. En otras ocasiones se valió de este mismo método para rescatar o potenciar sus negocios, como ocurrió con la adquisición de SolarCity por parte de Tesla en 2016. Además, esta estructura permite a Musk mantener un control férreo sobre la nueva empresa. Aunque posee el 43% de las acciones, goza del 80% del poder de voto gracias a unas acciones de clase especial que le permiten tomar decisiones unilaterales sin consensuarlo antes con los pequeños inversores. La fusión aleja a SpaceX de su imagen de empresa esencialmente logística para introducirla en el terreno del "hype" tecnológico que tantas alegrías le ha dado a Musk con Tesla. Al integrar cohetes, satélites e inteligencia artificial, el empresario trata de conseguir una ventaja competitiva que ni Google ni Amazon poseen en estos momentos. Eso podrá asegurar su relevancia en la carrera tecnológica al mismo tiempo que lo mantiene todo bajo el paraguas de empresas sin cotizar y, por lo tanto, lejos del escrutinio y la volatilidad de los mercados bursátiles.

I drove downtown not too long ago to meet with Jesse Appell to talk about his first book, "This was funnier in China" https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/This-Was-Funnier-in-China/Jesse-Appell/9781668087565 Jesse's been performing stand-up comedy and Xiangsheng 相声 for years now. When he isn't engaging in this profession, he's managing and promoting his global tea company, Jesse's Teahouse https://jessesteahouse.com/en-us. This book tells the story of Jesse's experiences engaging with the PRC and building a nice, comfortable, and exciting life for himself. You'll learn about what it was like living there, about his apprenticeship under Xiangsheng Master Ding Guangquan 丁广泉, his performances, the comedy club he created in Beijing, a whole bunch of interesting characters, and a whole lot more. You may want to slow the audio down to half or quarter speed to take in everything Jesse has to say. This is all raw and unedited from the Livestream he ran on his various platforms. We clipped on a couple of Bluetooth mics and hit Play on my iPhone to record. The video of this recording can be found at Jesse's TikTok, YouTube, and IG. Thanks, everyone!

If you just click on the link above, it should be fine. In today's episode, Becket Cook welcomes back biblical scholar Denny Burke—professor at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and president of the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood—to unpack a viral Joe Rogan clip where Texas Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico claims the Bible is pro-choice. Talarico argues that God asked Mary for consent before the incarnation in Luke 1, framing creation and pregnancy as requiring freedom and bodily autonomy. Burke dismantles this interpretation, showing it's a clear distortion: the Annunciation is God's sovereign announcement, not a negotiation, and Mary's response is humble submission as the Lord's bond-slave. They also refute the outdated "life begins at first breath" claim from Genesis 2:7, highlight the unborn's personhood in Luke (John leaping for joy in Elizabeth's womb), and warn how this eisegesis promotes theological liberalism with destructive consequences for life, marriage, and family. If you're exploring faith, politics, abortion rights, or biblical fidelity amid viral debates, this episode clarifies why Scripture consistently affirms the sanctity of unborn life.

Fr. Paul Kramer joins John-Henry Westen for an in-depth interview on the suppressed Third Secret of Fatima and the global crisis he believes it foretold. Drawing from prophecy, Church history, and emerging geopolitical trends, Fr. Kramer warns that a chastisement of unprecedented scale, marked by war, famine, persecution, and surveillance, is rapidly unfolding. He argues that civil liberties are collapsing as the world shifts toward a totalitarian synthesis of Orwellian control and Huxleyan moral decay. Within the Church, he warns of a coming counterfeit structure rooted in synodality and doctrinal ambiguity, replacing truth with unity at all costs.HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

Dvorak on Twitter Follow Andrew Horowitz on Twitter Interactive Brokers  Warm-Up - WORST DAY EVER for SILVER - Cold Snap in Florida - Massive Critter Drop - New Fed Chair named - Pausing on space Markets - Bitcoin plunges - Crypto "winter" - Deep dive into January economic results - USD rises from multi-month low - EM still powered ahead - ELON - PT Barnum move Cold Snap - On February 1, 2026, Florida faced a significant drop in temperatures, reaching a record low of 24°F (-4°C) in Orlando. This marked the lowest temperature recorded in February since 1923. - Iguanas dropping from tress all over the streets - Iguanas can survive temperatures down to the mid-40s Fahrenheit (around 7°C) by entering a "cold-stunned" state, where they appear dead but are just temporarily paralyzed and immobile; however, prolonged exposure to temperatures in the 30s and 40s, especially below freezing, can be lethal, particularly for smaller individuals, leading to tissue damage and organ failure. - They get sluggish below 50°F (10°C) and fall from trees as they lose grip. - The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) issued Executive Order 26-03 on Friday, allowing residents to collect and surrender cold-stunned green iguanas without a permit during an unprecedented cold weather event. Right on Schedule - Remember we talked about how the Nat Gas price was going to reverse, just as quickly as it spikeed? - Nat gas down 25% today - down about 28% from recent high - Still about 50% higher than it was before the spike. THIS! - Nvidia Corp. Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang said the company's proposed $100 billion investment in OpenAI  was “never a commitment” and that the company would consider any funding rounds “one at a time.” - “It was never a commitment,” Huang told reporters in Taipei on Sunday. “They invited us to invest up to $100 billion and of course, we were, we were very happy and honored that they invited us, but we will invest one step at a time.” Then Oracle announced that it will do a fundraiser in the form of equity and debt - needs to fund more datacenter build-out. - What happened to the OpenAI $300 Billion committment? - Or is the money that NVDA "committed to OpenAi, that they must have committed to Orcle, not a committment - GIGANTIC CIRCLE JERK Fungus - -Interesting - Did you know? Botrytis cinerea, a fungus causing grey mold, affects grapes by causing bunch rot, ruining fruit in high humidity. - While it often destroys crops, specific dry, warm conditions can transform it into "noble rot," concentrating sugars and creating high-value dessert wines (e.g., Sauternes, Tokaji) with honeyed, raisin-like, and apricot flavors. January Economic Review Employment — Job growth was nearly flat in December, with 50,000 new jobs added and earlier months revised lower. — Unemployment dipped slightly to 4.4%, but it's still higher than it was a year ago. — Long-term unemployment didn't change and remains high, and the labor force participation rate slipped to 62.4%. — Average hourly earnings rose 0.3% in December and are up 3.8% over the past year. — Weekly jobless claims stayed close to last year's levels, showing a labor market that is cooling but not weakening sharply. FOMC / Interest Rates — The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged at 3.50%–3.75%. — Most policymakers agreed the economy continues to grow at a solid pace, though job gains are slowing and inflation remains above target. — Two committee members supported a small rate cut, but the majority preferred to wait. - Fed Chair Powell: Clearly, a weakening labor market calls for cutting. A stronger labor market says that rates are in a good place. It isn't anyone's base case right now that the next move will be a rate hike. - The economy has once again surprised us with its strength. Consumer spending numbers overall are good, and it looks like growth overall is on a solid footing. - Upside risks to inflation and downside risks to employment have diminished, but hard to say they are fully in balance. We think our policy is in a good place. - Overall, it's a stronger forecast since the Fed's last meeting. Haven't made any decisions about future meetings, but the economy is growing at a solid pace, the unemployment rate is broadly stable and inflation remains somewhat elevated, so we will be looking to our goal variables and letting the data light the way for us. - Most of the overrun in goods prices is from tariffs. We think tariffs are likely to move through, and be a one-time price increase. - Dissent: Miran and Waller (Miran is a admin shill and Waller wanted job as Fed Chair) GDP & Federal Budget — Economic growth remained strong in Q3 2025, with GDP rising at an annualized 4.4% driven by strong spending, higher exports, and reduced imports due to tariffs. — Investment was mixed, with business spending increasing while housing activity declined. — The federal deficit for December rose to $145 billion, though the fiscal year-to-date deficit is slightly smaller than last year. Inflation & Consumer Spending — Personal income and consumer spending rose moderately in October and November. — Inflation, measured by the PCE index, increased 0.2% in both months and roughly 2.7% year-over-year. — The Consumer Price Index rose 0.3% in December, with shelter, food, and energy all contributing. — Producer prices also increased, though 2025 producer inflation slowed compared to 2024. Housing — Existing home sales rose in December, but the number of homes for sale is still low. — Prices dipped a bit from November but remain higher than they were a year ago. — New-home sales in October were steady compared with the prior month but much higher than last year. — New-home prices fell compared to 2024, though they are still high relative to long-term norms. Manufacturing — Industrial production rose 0.4% in December and was up 2.0% for the year. — Manufacturing output increased, while mining activity declined and utility output jumped. — Durable goods orders grew sharply in November, driven by a big increase in transportation equipment, pointing to strong demand in key industries. Imports & Exports — Import and export prices rose slightly through November 2025. — The goods trade deficit widened in November because exports fell while imports increased. — For the year so far, both exports and imports are running above 2024 levels, though the overall trade deficit remains larger. Consumer Confidence — Consumer confidence fell sharply in January after improving in December. — Both views of current conditions and expectations for the future weakened, with expectations dropping well below the level that often signals recession risk. Earnings — Roughly one-third of S&P 500 companies have reported Q4 earnings, and overall results are strong. — 75% of companies have beaten EPS estimates, though this is slightly below long-term averages. Revenue beats remain solid at 65%. — Companies are reporting earnings 9.1% above estimates, which is well above the 5-and 10-year surprise averages. — The S&P 500 is on track for 11.9% year-over-year earnings growth, marking the 5th straight quarter of double-digit earnings growth. — Eight of eleven sectors are showing positive year-over-year earnings growth, led by Information Technology, Industrials, and Communication Services. — The Health Care sector shows the largest earnings declines among lagging categories. — The forward 12-month P/E ratio sits at ~22.2, elevated relative to 5-and 10-year averages, signaling continued optimism despite tariff and cost concerns. — FactSet also notes the S&P 500 is reporting a record-high net profit margin of 13.2%, the highest since 2009.

Sales in the region surged 38% during the quarter to $25.53 billion. - “The constraints that we have are driven by the availability of the advanced nodes that our SoCs are produced on, and at this time, we're seeing less flexibility in supply chain than normal,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said. - Stock up slightly - no great moves.... Blue Origin - Blue Origin will pause tourist flights to space for “no less than two years” to prioritize development of its moon lander and other lunar technologies. - The decision reflects Blue Origin's commitment to the nation's goal of returning to the Moon and establishing a permanent, sustained lunar presence. - The pause in tourist flights grounds the company's reusable New Shepard rocket, which has sent more than 90 people to the edge of space and back to experience brief periods of weightlessness. - Datacenters on the Moon?

This is The Digital Story Podcast 1,037, Feb. 3, 2026. Today's theme is, "The 5 iPad Photo Apps That I Depend On." I'm Derrick Story. I love my laptop, but I don't want to take it everywhere! Many times these days, I'm toting an iPad mini, compact camera, and my iPhone. Does that mean I can't edit and organize on the go? It does not! And thanks to these 5 mobile apps, I'm fully functional wherever the road takes me. I'll cover them today, and more, on this week's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.

When Michael Ryan Burke posted an iPhone on Facebook Marketplace, he was just trying to find an honest buyer, maybe haggle, and move on. But instead, he became the target of a Facebook marketplace scam that began a few days earlier.  A buyer agreed to meet for the phone, and Ryan gave his home address. But when the buyer showed up, he came armed and with a posse. He intended to steal the iPhone, not pay for it. Within minutes, Ryan lay dying on the floor of his house, but he managed to dial 911 and text his mom and sister that he loved them. Sadly, he died from his injuries.  Dig in with Margot, as she walks you through the probable cause affidavit and the investigation that lead to the arrest of 4 individuals who now stand charged with the murder of Michael Ryan Burke, a Marine veteran who was loved by all.
