If you want solar power in your home, you usually need to be a homeowner with a good roof and a decent amount of cash to pay up front. But some Bay Area residents are trying out plug-in solar, which can hang from an apartment balcony, out a window, or be tented in the backyard. This episode originally aired on August 13, 2025.

Ce qui devait être une discussion sur la liberté d'expression s'est transformé en quelque chose de plus profond. Plus inquiétant aussi. Un diagnostic à froid du malaise français.Autour de la table, trois camps émergent sans jamais être nommés :– ceux qui préparent leur départ,– ceux qui refusent d'abandonner le navire,– et ceux qui ne savent plus très bien à quoi se raccrocher.Et c'est là que le signal devient faible… mais grave.Quand des gens intelligents, créateurs de valeur, profondément attachés à leur pays, ne savent plus s'ils doivent rester ou partir, ce n'est plus un débat idéologique. C'est le symptôme d'un contrat social qui se fissure.Ce Festin n'apporte pas de solution miracle.Il montre autre chose, bien plus précieux et plus dérangeant : le moment exact où un pays commence à douter de lui-même.À regarder jusqu'au bout.

The GIJOE Holiday Special was produced by Joe Slepski and Ted Jacobson Written by Joe Slepski Musical Segments produced by Ted Jacobson All GIJOE characters are owned by Hasbro and celebrity voices were impersonated. Except Santa Claus. He's very real. This is a loving tribute to our favorite afterschool cartoon, filtered through the legendary Star Wars Holiday Special and an absolute joy to put together due to the incredible talents of our cast.

If you don't know them, educate yourself and thank me later. Paul Galliano (Firefly) Paul is an actor that always delivers, a major GIJOE friend and more importantly a great friend of mine. One of the nicest, most talented people you'll ever know, give him a follow and a Yo Joe! Mark Silgalis (Major Bludd) has been a friend of mine since High School!

Find him at fan conventions and say hello from Joe on Joe! Mike Irrizzary (General Hawk) of the What's on Joe Mind Podcast once again returned as General Hawk and he's so good, we need to lobby Hasbro to cast him officially.

This special edition of KyberCast is basically a love letter to creativity—with Star Wars as the spark that lit the fuse. Joe Becker is joined by longtime friend and creative co-conspirator Chris Eichenseer for a deep, free-flowing conversation about how a galaxy far, far away shaped who they became as artists, designers, and storytellers. From drawing TIE fighters in school notebooks and obsessing over movie posters and typography, to discovering how George Lucas didn't just make a movie—he invented entirely new tools to tell a story—this episode digs into that formative moment when imagination takes over and never really lets go. It's about friendship, fandom, and that magical stretch of time when Star Wars didn't just entertain you… it rewired how you saw the world. But this isn't nostalgia for nostalgia's sake. Joe and Chris connect those early creative awakenings to big, timely questions about human creativity today—AI, analog vs. digital, imperfection, energy, learning, and the courage to keep “walking into the woods” even after decades of experience. They talk Joseph Campbell, the hero's journey, theater-going as a communal experience, and why “good enough” might be the real villain of modern creativity. If you've ever felt Star Wars nudged you toward drawing, music, filmmaking, design, or simply thinking bigger—or if you're wondering how to stay creatively alive in a hyper-digital world—this episode is for you. Plug in, geek out, and rediscover why making things as a human still matters. ✨ https://someoddpilot.com/ https://someoddpilotrecords.com/ https://someoddpilotstudios.com/ https://publicworksgallery.com/

In this episode of the GrowDental podcast, Luke dives into the r/Dentistry subreddit to answer real questions from practice owners struggling with marketing and growth. What emerged from those conversations is a framework that challenges everything most dentists believe about their biggest constraint. Get your copy of the Practice Paradox and the Personality Assessment: https://ion.agency/practice-paradox-book A dentist buys a South Florida practice. Previous spend: $5,000 monthly on ads. New plan: hire a strategist, reorganize, cut costs. Result: phones go silent, patient flow crashes. The owner’s instinct? Panic. The real question: Was $5k the problem? Here’s what actually happened. Spend less, get less. That part is simple math. The complicated part lives downstream. What happens after someone calls or fills out a form? Because in most practices, the enemy isn’t your marketing budget. It’s operational leakage. Missed calls. Weak follow-up. Zero visibility into what your website produces. If that’s your reality, more ad spend won’t solve growth. It will scale your waste. This framework is for owners who want to grow the right way. Plug the leaks first. Scale what works second. The Trap — Treating Marketing Like the Problem When It’s Just the Amplifier Most budget arguments skip the only question that matters. Are you stewarding the opportunities you already pay for? Marketing is not magic. Marketing is volume. Turn it up and you get more attention, more inquiries, more exposure of whatever’s broken underneath. In the South Florida case, the most predictable outcome occurred. They cut spend and lead flow dropped. That doesn’t prove the original budget was right or efficient. It proves it was producing volume. But the real insight is this: ad spend is relative. Consider the context. Where exactly are you? Miami versus a suburban market are different games. How competitive is your local area? How big is the practice now, and how fast do you want to grow? A flat number like $5,000 monthly means nothing without those answers. In some markets it’s average. In others it’s conservative. In others it’s reckless. But even if your spend level fits your market, your biggest constraint may still be operational, not marketing. Free Growth Session The Silent ROI Killer — Missed Calls and Abandoned Calls Want one metric that exposes the truth fast? How many calls are you missing right now? Not what your team thinks. Not what feels right. The hard number. Here’s the reality most owners avoid. The average abandoned call rate sits between 20 percent and 40 percent of calls going unanswered. Pause on that. If you miss one out of four calls, you don’t have a lead generation problem. You have a conversion capture problem. And if a meaningful chunk of those missed calls are new patients, you’re bleeding revenue daily without knowing it. Why This Matters More Than Your Ad Budget The compounding effect looks like this. Your missed call rate is 25 percent today. You crank marketing spend up. You push your team beyond capacity and that missed call rate climbs to 40 percent or higher. So you spend more. You get more inquiries. You lose more opportunities because your systems can’t absorb the volume. This is how practices convince themselves marketing doesn’t work, when the truth is they never fixed the bucket. Where to Find the Truth (Not Opinions) Most practices already have the data. Owners just don’t look. You likely use a VoIP system. Those platforms show call stats, including abandoned call rate and missed calls. The next step isn’t just the percentage. It’s segmentation. What percentage of missed calls are new patient calls? That one metric tells you whether your next dollar goes to ads or operations. The Other Black Hole — “How Many New Patients Did Your Website Bring You?” One strategist asks a question almost nobody can answer. “In 2025, how many new patients did your website bring you?” Common response: silence. This isn’t a minor gap. It’s a fundamental business blind spot. If you can’t measure what the website produces, you can’t evaluate whether your site does its job, whether your online scheduling gets used, whether your forms get answered, or whether you’re losing patients quietly while telling yourself the website is decent. The Website Isn’t Just Branding Sure, a website informs people. But in the context of practice growth, it has a job. Turn interest into action. If you don’t know whether it’s doing that, you’re operating on vibes. The Practical Audit Most Practices Never Do If your lead flow feels low, take a hard look at where you’re bleeding. Start with two questions. What are the form submissions and appointment requests like? Where are those requests being routed, and who owns follow-up? Because “we don’t get website leads” is sometimes code for something else. Requests go into an inbox nobody monitors. Notifications go to the wrong person. Patients get a slow response and ghost. The follow-up experience feels cold and transactional. In other words, the website might be working. Your process might not. Free Growth Session Google vs. Meta Isn’t a Preference Debate. It’s an Intent and Workflow Debate. A lot of dentists talk about Google versus Facebook like it’s personal preference. It’s not. It’s about patient intent and what your practice can handle. Here’s the breakdown. Google is more bottom-of-funnel because you capture existing search intent. People actively looking. But it’s also more competitive, and demand is limited by how many people search in your area. Meta (Facebook and Instagram) is more top-of-funnel. You reach people who could become patients, but you often need workflows and automations to warm them up and convert them. Here’s the operational reality most practices miss. If your follow-up is weak, top-of-funnel leads die. If your phones aren’t answered consistently, bottom-of-funnel leads die too. The platform won’t save you from poor stewardship. This is why fixing leaks first is so powerful. It makes every channel work better. The “Plug the Leaks” Growth Framework — What to Fix Before You Spend More If your schedule isn’t where you want it, your instinct may be to throw money at marketing. Sometimes that’s right, but only after you validate the fundamentals. Here’s a practical sequence. Step One — Pull Your Phone Data Today Log into your VoIP system. Find your abandoned call rate and missed calls. Identify what percentage of missed calls are likely new patients. If you’re missing a big chunk of calls, that’s not a marketing problem. That’s an operations problem that marketing will only magnify. Step Two — Review the Follow-Up Experience (Not the Theory) A simple but revealing approach: listen to phone calls and evaluate customer service like a real consumer would. If you want to remove self-deception, do what one doctor did. Call your own practice pretending to be a patient to screen the phone experience. This isn’t about being sneaky. It’s about being honest. Owners often assume the experience is good because the team is nice. But nice doesn’t always mean confident, efficient, or conversion-minded. Step Three — Audit Your Website Conversion Path End-to-End Don’t argue about whether the site looks good. Ask how many appointment requests come in. Are submissions truly zero, or just disappearing? Who is responsible for responding, and how fast? If you discover leads are coming in but not getting handled well, the fix might be far cheaper than increasing ad spend. Step Four — Only After the Leaks Are Plugged, Decide Whether to Scale Spend At that point, scaling marketing becomes rational because you’re scaling a machine that can actually capture demand. A practical benchmark: marketing spend often falls around 5 percent to 12 percent of collections. Don’t treat that as a rule. Treat it as a reality check and tie your decision back to your market competitiveness, your growth goals, and your operational readiness to handle more volume. One more sharp point: if you truly want to grow aggressively, you may need to think in terms of the percentage of where you want to be, not just where you are. That can work, but only if you’ve already fixed the conversion bottlenecks. Free Growth Session When the Answer Really Is “Spend More” (And How to Do It Without Getting Burned) Sometimes, after you do the audits above, you’ll confirm something important. Call volume is genuinely low. Website requests are genuinely low. You’re not leaking opportunities. You simply don’t have enough opportunities. In that case, the advice is direct. You just need to spend more. But even then, don’t blindly hire anyone who sells ads. Use a vetting process that protects you from expensive mistakes. Find a reputable marketing company with case studies and testimonials from doctors you’d actually want to emulate. Ask to speak with three to five of those doctors. Do real research, then make an educated decision. That last part matters. Dentists often buy marketing like they buy equipment, based on features. But marketing is closer to hiring. You’re paying for execution quality, strategy alignment, and consistency. The Bottom Line — Marketing Isn’t Your Growth Strategy. Stewardship Is. If you remember one thing from this entire framework, make it this. Marketing doesn’t fix a leaky practice. Marketing exposes it. If your phones go unanswered, if your follow-up is inconsistent, if you don’t know what your website produces, then scaling marketing is like pouring water into a bucket with holes. You’ll feel busy, spend more, and still wonder why the finances don’t add up. But if you plug those holes, if you maximize stewardship, then marketing becomes what it’s supposed to be. A predictable lever you can pull to grow. The owner in the South Florida story didn’t discover that marketing is bad. They discovered something more useful: their spend was driving demand, and the moment they removed it, demand dropped. The correct response isn’t to argue about whether $5k is too much. The correct response is to build a system that can reliably convert whatever demand you create, then scale with confidence.

Day 1,393.Today, as EU leaders meet to decide what – if anything – to do with frozen Russian assets, we examine just how consequential this moment could be for the bloc and for European security more broadly. We also analyse how Vladimir Putin has deliberately shifted his language to appeal to Donald Trump, and track another attack on a Russian oil tanker as Moscow's Black Sea Fleet appears to have blockaded itself inside Novorossiysk rather than risk further Ukrainian drone strikes.ContributorsDominic Nicholls (Associate Editor of Defence). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Executive Editor for Audio). @FrancisDearnley on X.Joe Barnes (Brussels Correspondent). @Barnes_Joe on X.SIGN UP TO THE ‘UKRAINE: THE LATEST' WEEKLY NEWSLETTER:http://telegraph.co.uk/ukrainenewsletter Each week, Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley answer your questions, provide recommended reading, and give exclusive analysis and behind-the-scenes insights – plus maps of the frontlines and diagrams of weapons to complement our daily reporting.

What if the most powerful climate intervention isn't policy, but precision?Deep Dhillon sits down with Ryan Sullivan of Bridger Photonics to unpack how AI, physics, and aerial sensing are being used to hunt down methane leaks that can cost operators dearly and accelerate climate impact. Ryan explains how methane detection has matured over the past decade, and why Bridger's approach (laser-based lidar tuned to methane) can identify the specific valve, tank, or piece of equipment responsible.They walk through the full pipeline: scanning swaths over infrastructure, reconstructing plumes from point-cloud data, applying supervised learning trained on ~15 years of labeled leak history, and then having expert analysts validate results with tooling that overlays plume density, wind conditions, and site geography. Then the two zoom out to the uncomfortable questions, like why Bridger refuses to play watchdog, how trust and data ownership shape the market, and what the “north star” looks like; near-real-time detection, autonomous flight patterns, and predictive maintenance that catches failures before they happen.Learn more about Ryan here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sullivar/and Bridger Photonics here: https://www.bridgerphotonics.com/Check out some of our related content here: 3 Million Gallons Vanished?

Our Holiday Series rolls on as 3 Guys and a Flick unwraps Daddy's Home 2, the loud, ridiculous, and surprisingly warm Christmas sequel that reunites Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg for a “Together Christmas” that never had a chance. This time, the festivities go completely off the rails when two grandpas crash the party — Mel Gibson's ultra-macho wildcard and John Lithgow's soft-spoken sweetheart — turning peace, love, and goodwill into competitive dad energy cranked to eleven. Add in John Cena, over-the-top set pieces, and nonstop holiday absurdity, and you've got a recipe for festive mayhem. We break down the biggest laughs, the best running gags, the cast chemistry, and whether this sequel earns its spot on the holiday watchlist. Expect spoilers, sarcasm, belly laughs, and just enough Christmas heart to keep the lights twinkling.

Our yearly show with Engaged Family Gaming, where we talk about what video games might be on your kids’ wishlists. 00:00 Fact for 412 412 is the area code for Pittsburgh (and they seem really proud of it). The most people washing dishes simultaneously is 412 and was achieved by Henkel (Algeria) and Pril-Isis, in Algiers, Algeria, on 16 June 2017. https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/112306-most-people-washing-dishes-simultaneously Sponsor Message If you want some help finding solid footing underneath you, or help finding the right step to leap to the next level, head to firstmovefinancial.com/familygamers to schedule a quick phone call and see how First Move can help. 0:04:30 What We’ve Been Playing – with November Monthly Report! Anitra: 54 plays of 28 unique games. H-index: 4 (Chit Chat, Trio, INK, Leaders, Odin) – and Andrew is the most played-with person by a huge margin! Andrew: 40 plays of 18 unique games. H-index 4 (Chit Chat, Leaders, Odin, Trio). 35 games together with Anitra! Pretty much everything was 2 players or 5 players. Check out our recent reviews for INK and Odin.LeadersJungo (check out our review!)Logic & LoreS’mores Galore Roast & WriteFor Sale 0:10:40 The Family Gamers Community Welcome to our newest community members on Facebook! In these darkest days of the year, let’s share some light with each other. Stop in and say hello. #Backtalk We asked what you like to do with your family that ISN’T boardgames. A few of you answered on the #backtalk channel on the Discord and in our Facebook community. 0:19:00 Video Games with Engaged Family Gaming Stephen Duetzmann helps us with the best video games to give this year, via the Engaged Family Gaming holiday list. But first we talk about videogames we’ve been playing: Dogpile (on Steam)Metroid Prime 4Dredge (more info)Hollow Knight: Silksong (which Andrew just finished – more info) 0:36:00 Consoles PS5 or Xbox Series X – They are very expensive and not focused on family-friendly titles. Not recommended unless you really want it for games you can’t get elsewhere. 0:37:15 Multi-platform Games Civilization VII – the rough edges have been sanded off. Pick a leader, but jump to different civilizations in each age. Plays pretty well on any console and on PC, but if you have a Switch 2, buy it for that system, so you can use the mouse controller. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown – turn based tactical game that still forces you to move forward like a typical side-scrolling brawler. Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar – cozy “farm and town” game with engine-building. Has a week cycle as well as a day cycle. Sonic Racing: Crossworlds – good if you don’t have Mario Kart. Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted 0:45:00 Playstation Exclusives “Playstation didn’t put out anything that didn’t involve mass-murder.” Ghost of Yotei – only for grownups, but gorgeous. nothing else really new, but Astro Bot, Final Fantasy VII, and Spider-man 2 are still great choices. 0:46:50 Xbox Exclusives Also not much new that isn’t “headshot-central”. But Star Wars Outlaws is updated and even better than it was last year. 0:47:45 Nintendo Switch / Switch 2 Both consoles are good choices: Switch 2 is very cool. Original Switch is the value choice, and those games will still work if you decide to upgrade later to the Switch 2. Mario Kart World Donkey Kong Bananza Also recommended: Metroid Prime 4 – if you liked Metroid Primeand Kirby Air Riders “If you get a Switch 2, don’t limit yourself to just Switch 2 games” – get older original Switch games, too. A lot of them have been updated for the better graphics of the Switch 2, and they’ll be great! 0:53:00 Online Play and Online Sales You need to do the math and decide if these are worth it for your family. Good alternative to buying a single game if you don’t know what game your recipient would want. Nintendo Switch Online – $80 for up to 8 users (don’t all have to be in the same location), even cheaper if you only need one user. This is absolutely necessary to play online AND gives you access to a bunch of older games. XBox Game Pass – probably not worth it JUST for kids. Worth it for Andrew & Anitra, where we have many people all taking advantage. PS Plus – again, needed for online play. Minimum $80/year for the Essentials plan. As always: If you're buying a console for a holiday present, do NOT leave it in the box! Don't forget to set it up before Christmas! (Plug in, connect to the internet, download updates, install a game or two. You might need to update the firmware on the controller.) It's a much more effective surprise if it's ready to play on Christmas morning. And don’t forget about free to play games like Fortnite or Disney Speed Storm! Those are good to add ahead of time so they can play right away. And don't forget about The Family Gamers holiday gift guide, too!

Plugged In: How Shore Power Is Cleaning Up Our Ports In this episode, we dig into shore power—the system that lets docked ships plug into port power rather than burning fuel on board. This simple switch reduces fuel use, drastically cuts air pollution, and helps port cities enforce anti-idling laws.  Listen to Maria Bos, CEO of Plug, a professional operator focusing on stable, easy-to-use shore power installations. Maria has extensive experience in innovation, digitalisation, and strategy across the financial and renewable energy sectors. Plug is an Eviny-owned shore power company. Thank you for listening.
