Paladin Bikes was founded by a group of robotics engineers who love bikes and wanted to build their own — and do it in the US. The AM1 is the result, and while it's a relatively conventional All-Mountain bike when it comes to its geometry and specs, there's a ton about it that stands out, from its machined construction to its suspension layout, and in a lot of the smaller details.So we sat down with Paladin co-founder and General Manager, Stefan Klein, to get the rundown on Paladin and the AM1, from the decision to found the company in the first place, to opting for machined construction, the challenges of founding a bike company in 2025, and a whole lot more.RELATED LINKS:Blister Mountain Bike Buyer's GuideGet Our Free Newsletter & Gear GiveawaysBLISTER+ Get Yourself CoveredTOPICS & TIMES:Introducing Stefan (1:49)Founding Paladin (4:18)Why machine a frame?

His journey into D&D started with board games, eventually leading to TTRPGs, where he found a passion for stepping into character and immersing himself in the worlds they build.No stranger to the mic, Ross honed his skills as a play-by-play announcer and DJ during his time in college. His endless enthusiasm for chatting about the things he loves makes him a natural podcast host. When he's not smiting foes as a Paladin, you'll find him diving into all things nerdy—Star Wars, Magic: The Gathering, Lord of the Rings, and more—not to mention having a craft beer with friends.Bards and Barrels was born from the simple joy of sitting around, drinks in hand, discussing epic campaigns. What started as casual conversations grew into a show where Ross and his co-hosts share their love for D&D one laugh, story, and critical hit at a time.----------Don't miss out on any of the action!  Head to www.bardtender.com to stay up to date with all of the Bardtender content, find resources for mental and physical wellbeing, get access to education materials, and check out what all of our bards are up to! Support the show

Ist die Katze aus dem Haus, tanzen die Mäuse auf dem Tisch. So beschreibt Bea diese Folge und das fasst sie eigentlich auch sehr gut zusammen. Miggi musste nämlich aufgrund von Hochzeiten, Urlaub und Co. Bea & Yvonne diesmal alleine machen lassen und die beiden haben sich ihre neu aufgeflammte Liebe zu Büchern als Anlass genommen genau darüber zu sprechen. Deshalb hört ihr in dieser Folge die geballte Ladung Buchempfehlungen (oder auch Warnungen). Die beiden fangen an mit den ersten fünf Teilen der „A Court Of Thornes & Roses“-Reihe, haben zum Buchclub aber noch einige andere Titel mitgebracht: Yvonne bringt Criers War & Iron Heart, The Serpent & the Wings of Night und The Ashes & the Star-Cursed King mit und Bea hat Clocktaur War, Swordheart und die Saint of Steel-Reihe - Paladin's Grace, Paladin's Strength, Paladin's Hope und Paladin's Faith - im Rucksack. Setzt euch also zu den beiden in den Lesekreis und habt Spaß! Feedback und Kritik könnt ihr gerne auf BlueSky, Instagram oder Threads oder per Mail hinterlassen.

The party dives headfirst into shenanigans, but Zechs quickly steers the mood in a serious direction—proposing to speak directly with Malar. Despite the risks, Galahad and Hoshino agree to help facilitate the meeting, ensuring safeguards are in place. The conversation with Malar is cryptic and frustrating, confirming more through evasion than answers. With no more straightforward path forward, Zechs severs the connection. They head toward the vineyard and soon stumble into a vision of Sloane's past—Zechs, Arguile, Salix, and Glad transported to the Second Age. There, they witness the growing tensions between the Pantheran Pantheon and Malar's cult and uncover that this temporal journey is meant to guide Zechs toward acceptance and closure.Meanwhile, in the present, the rest of the party learns more about Nymora's hidden leadership and plans defenses. Hoshino initiates a covert operation, while Shanks and Greyleaf interrogate a cult target, gathering key intelligence. Everyone then regroups at the inn and meets a new ally, Turk.While Zechs and his group witness Malar's avatar call for the Wild Hunt in the past, divine avatars arrive to oppose him in a chaotic battle. Afi later reveals that although Malar can be extracted, the aspect inside Zechs cannot be destroyed or contained—only managed. This adds emotional weight to Zechs as he must interrupt the ritual at his sacrifice site. In the present, Galahad incapacitates cultists preparing for the event, while Hoshino infiltrates the enemy to gather valuable intel from Five Shadow. As all groups reconvene, they plan for the night's ritual. Zechs, Galahad, Turk, and Glad perform the ritual, while the others keep watch. Enich, revealed as Arguile's alternate and a Paladin of Arioch, engages the team with chilling declarations of divine judgment. The ritual begins, sparking parallel battles inside Zechs' mind against Malar and outside against Enich.Both battles are intense. Malar summons wolves and fire, countered by coordinated efforts from Galahad, Turk, Zechs, and Glad. Zechs lands several divine-infused blows while Turk disrupts Malar's casting. Enich proves to be an overwhelming foe—casting powerful necrotic magic and holding off the team with resilient defenses and his Dread Lord ability. Salix is downed but revived, Shanks lands a critical blow with a poisoned arrow, and Greyleaf, Glad, and Zechs continue their assault. The tide turns when Galahad strikes Malar with Kana's Fury and ends the fight. As the group returns to consciousness, the battle with Enich continues. Despite his strength and spellwork, the full force of Collateral wears him down. Galahad batters him in a brutal exchange before Glad finishes him with Sacred Flame, finally ending the threat and offering the team a hard-earned, bittersweet victory.There's so much happening, and we pick up with arc 26, “Nymora to Nakoroa”. How will the rest of this story unfold? Find out next time on the Medusa's Cascade: Collateral Damage!

Interview with Sean Hillacre, President & VP Exploration, and Jon Bey, CEO of Standard Uranium Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/standard-uranium-tsxvstnd-dual-model-explorer-eyes-high-grade-discovery-at-davidson-river-7231Recording date: 27th August 2025Standard Uranium Corporation (TSXV: STND) has announced a CAD $3.5 million non-brokered private placement to fund its return to the Davidson River uranium project in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin for the first time since 2022. The financing marks a strategic pivot for the exploration company as it deploys cutting-edge technology to unlock one of Canada's most prospective uranium regions.The Davidson River project sits in a geological sweet spot approximately 25 kilometers from NextGen Energy's Arrow deposit, positioned within a region containing nearly 500 million pounds of uranium between the Arrow and Paladin's Triple R projects. This proximity provides both geological validation and logistical advantages, particularly as NextGen's Arrow deposit enters mine construction in early 2026.President Sean Hillacre brings unique expertise to the project, having spent seven years at NextGen and authored his master's thesis on the Arrow deposit. The geological continuity between projects suggests similar mineralizing processes, with Davidson River's rock formations representing "folded over" versions of the Arrow geology.Standard Uranium's exploration approach centers on ExoSphere multiphysics surveying technology provided through a strategic partnership with Fleet Space Technologies. This integrated methodology combines passive seismic technology and gravity measurements across three main conductor zones, creating what Hillacre describes as "X-ray vision" into basement rocks.The company has pioneered AI-enhanced targeting through collaboration with ALS Goldspot, becoming the first uranium explorer to apply machine learning in the Athabasca Basin. The system analyzes data from established deposits like Arrow and Triple R, generating probability-weighted heat maps that identify geological signatures matching known uranium occurrences.The current financing comprises both hard dollars at 8 cents and flow-through shares at 10 cents, structured as units with 24-month half-warrants. Standard Uranium operates a project generator model, earning revenue through joint venture partnerships while retaining 25% ownership and 2.5% net smelter royalty in advanced projects.The company has developed a systematic target prioritization system incorporating geological, geophysical, and AI-generated parameters, identifying approximately 100 potential drill targets across the 31,000-hectare project. The immediate drilling campaign represents phase one of a multi-year program targeting 10,000-20,000 meters over two years, focusing on basement-hosted uranium deposits in the 250-450 meter depth range similar to the Arrow discovery.This strategic positioning captures multiple industry trends: proximity to proven discoveries, technological advancement in exploration methods, and capital-efficient project development through partnerships in one of the world's premier uranium jurisdictions.View Standard Uranium's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/standard-uraniumSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Interview with Dev Randhawa, Chairman & CEO of F3 Uranium Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/f3-uranium-tsxvfuu-makes-fourth-high-grade-discovery-in-athabasca-basin-7010Recording date: 4th September 2025F3 Uranium represents a compelling investment opportunity positioned at the convergence of artificial intelligence-driven energy demand and a tightening uranium supply market. The company's recent fourth discovery at the Tetra Zone in Saskatchewan's prolific Athabasca Basin demonstrates the continued execution capability of a management team with an exceptional billion-dollar track record.The F3 team has delivered consistent results across multiple uranium cycles, having discovered Waterbury at F1 (sold to Denison) and Triple R at F2 (acquired by Paladin for $1 billion). This track record provides investors with confidence in the team's ability to identify, develop, and monetize significant uranium discoveries in one of the world's most prolific uranium districts.The Tetra Zone discovery shows immediate promise with 0.4% U3O8 grades identified at both ends of the conductor system. Located just 12 kilometers from NextGen and Paladin operations, the discovery benefits from established infrastructure and geological knowledge while maintaining significant expansion potential. The systematic exploration approach, utilizing ground geophysics every 200 meters, demonstrates capital efficiency and technical sophistication in targeting high-grade zones.The uranium sector is experiencing a fundamental transformation as major technology companies commit billions to nuclear energy infrastructure. Microsoft's entry as the newest World Nuclear Association member signals corporate recognition that AI data centers require consistent, scalable baseload power that only nuclear can provide. Amazon's $500 million SMR commitment and Meta's nuclear positioning underscore the scale of corporate investment flowing into the sector.Critical supply constraints are emerging as uranium producers globally struggle with technical challenges and cost inflation. With 3.5 billion pounds of uranium uncontracted through 2035 and widespread production guidance downgrades, the market faces a structural deficit. Even optimistic US domestic production scenarios suggest only 10 million pounds annually against 50 million pound requirements, ensuring continued dependence on Canadian suppliers.F3 maintains strict financial discipline during challenging market conditions, reducing recent funding to $6 million versus $15 million previously to minimize shareholder dilution. The company's strategic drilling pause to optimize targeting through detailed geophysics contrasts favorably with competitors who continue expensive drilling without proper vectoring. This approach preserves capital while maximizing discovery potential.Current uranium spot prices around $70 offer attractive entry points compared to institutional price targets exceeding $100. F3's multiple discoveries and experienced team create an appealing acquisition profile for larger uranium companies seeking project pipelines, similar to Paladin's strategy of building discovery portfolios. The company offers concentrated exposure to uranium sector recovery with lower operational risk than producing companies.F3 Uranium combines proven management execution, strategic asset location, and exposure to transformational demand drivers in a capital-efficient package. With the nuclear renaissance driven by AI energy requirements and supply constraints tightening globally, F3 is positioned to deliver significant value creation for investors willing to capitalize on this generational opportunity in uranium markets.View F3 Uranium's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/f3-uranium-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

The troupe approached the gate leading into Bree and unintentionally convinced the guards they were inept enough to not be a threat. Making their way through town, a server from The Prancing Pony invited them to perform at the bar in return for free accommodations, but first Adam and Guy needed proper pants. Adam found himself miraculously clad in a kilt, so they made their way to a tailor's shop to clothe Guy. When they failed to flatter the proprietor into giving them free clothes, they instead traded their one slice of pizza and empty Tylenol bottle.

The troupe continued to fight the goblins. Adam failed to tame the dog-man, Guy noticed the goblins were sensitive to sunlight and set their tarp on fire to destroy their shade, and Tyler, who had run away, realized the others hadn't followed him, so he came back to help finish things off. They then performed the unsavoury task of searching the bodies and found a crude drawing depicting hobbits and a ring, suggesting the hobbits were the targets of more than just the Black Riders. They finally made it to the gates of Bree, relieved to find it looking well-guarded and safe, but will they find the hobbits, the stranger, and Del inside? Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Tom McGee. Jesters of Middle-earth streams live every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice) Enjoying Jesters of Middle-earth?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun(https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/) - Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice)  Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic - Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/) - Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)  Theme song by Sound Gallery by Dmitry Taras- YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@soundgallerybydmitrytaras)- Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/music/fantasy-dreamy-childrens-dark-mysterious-halloween-night-scary-creepy-spooky-horror-music-116551/)

Wet Change, sans Del, set out east towards the town of Bree. They happened upon the violent willow tree, decided not to burn it down just yet, and travelled across a difficult landscape until they came across a group of goblins. Not wanting to fight, Tyler and Adam tried to run away, and Guy climbed a tree, but still they were discovered. Adam and Guy threw Baguettes and branches, but it was only the rising sun that had the strange creatures drawing back into cover. As the goblins scrambled away, a strange dog-like man in their camp broke free. Will Adam's stroke of inspiration allow him to calm and befriend this feral beast-man? Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Tom McGee. Jesters of Middle-earth streams live every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice) Enjoying Jesters of Middle-earth?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun(https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/) - Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice)  Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic - Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/) - Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)  Theme song by Sound Gallery by Dmitry Taras- YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@soundgallerybydmitrytaras)- Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/music/fantasy-dreamy-childrens-dark-mysterious-halloween-night-scary-creepy-spooky-horror-music-116551/)

After Bombadil revealed himself to be J.R.R. Tolkien, Goldberry took Del aside for a private conversation, and the rest of Wet Change were left to question the author. He explained that he had often escaped into his own story, into an ethereal realm between fiction and reality, but lately the narrative had been falling apart. The heroes who usually helped the ring-bearer hadn't shown up, so Tolkien had sought out replacements, only to accidentally bring in the self-nominated Best Ensemble, Wet Change. With Del temporarily called to another adventure, can the boys find the hobbits in Bree and survive the first leg of their journey to Rivendell? Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Tom McGee. Jesters of Middle-earth streams live every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/dumbdumbdice) Enjoying Jesters of Middle-earth?- Consider becoming a Patron of Dumb-Dumbs & Dice for as little as $1 a month and gain access to a ton of extra BTS fun(https://www.patreon.com/dumbdumbdice)- Buy merch on our website (https://dumbdumbdice.com/) - Watch us on YouTube (https://youtube.com/@dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Instagram (https://instagram.com/dumbdumbdice) - Follow us on Facebook (https://facebook.com/dumbdumbdice)  Artwork by the brilliant Del Borovic - Website & Portfolio (https://delborovic.com/) - Twitter (https://twitter.com/deltastic)  Theme song by Sound Gallery by Dmitry Taras- YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@soundgallerybydmitrytaras)- Pixabay (https://pixabay.com/music/fantasy-dreamy-childrens-dark-mysterious-halloween-night-scary-creepy-spooky-horror-music-116551/)

A malevolent tree put everyone except Tyler to sleep and began pulling them into its trunk! As they awoke, Guy set the branches on fire, Tyler injured himself badly getting Del free, and Del sacrificed her cell phone to wedge open the trunk just enough to grab Adam's hand, but the tree wouldn't let him go.
