This week, Elliot Williams and Tom Nardi start off the episode by announcing Arduino co-founder David Cuartielles will be taking the stage as the keynote speaker at Hackaday Europe. In his talk, we'll hear about a vision of the future where consumer electronics can be tossed in the garden and turned into compost instead of sitting in a landfill for the next 1,000 years or so. You'll also hear about a particularly clever manipulation of Apple's AirTag infrastructure, how a classic kid's toy was turned into a unique display with the help of computer vision, and the workarounds required to keep older Global Positioning System (GPS) hardware up and running. They'll also cover DIY toasters, extracting your data from a smart ring before the manufacturer can sell it, a LEGO interferometer, and a new feature added to the Bus Pirate 5's already impressive list of capabilities. Capping off the episode there's a discussion about the surprising (or depending on how you think about it, unsurprising) amount of hardware that was on display at FOSDEM this year, and the history of one of man's most infernal creations, the shopping cart wheel lock.

A bank robber in a high speed chase from the police and smashed into a tree on the insured's premises. A large limb fell on power lines, and the insured's home sustained a power surge. The insured claims  electrical damage to his refrigerator, toaster, and TV.   Notable Timestamps [ 00:20 ] - The adjuster sees the insured had a standard ISO HO 00 03 05 11. Is there coverage for these household items under that form? [ 01:35 ] - Trivia time! This 1967 American film starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway follows the exploits of bank robbers in the Depression-Era South. [ 03:00 ] - Coverage A generally applies, in part, to electronics permanently attached to the realty-- if you turned the house upside-down and shook it, what would NOT fall out? [ 04:36 ] - Coverage A or Coverage C factors: 1. actual physical annexation to the property, 2. application or adaptation to the use or purpose to which the realty is devoted, and 3. intention (or lack thereof) to make it a permanent installation. [ 05:11 ] - If the insured was moving to a new home, what would they leave behind? Not the toaster or, with any likelihood, the television. Even wall-mounted televisions are easily removed. [ 07:00 ] - This refrigerator has an ice maker, so it's linked to the plumbing. It's often not taken upon moving. [ 07:35 ] - Coverage B only comes into play if you're storing your lawnmower in a refrigerator. [ 08:36 ] - Sometimes refrigerators are built in to match the surrounding cabinets. [ 09:30 ] - We'll assume these fall under Coverage C, and that the insured isn't living in that backyard fridge to get Coverage D to apply. [ 10:30 ] - Proximate cause analysis would apply to this complex chain of causation, but most adjusters would likely give the insured the benefit of the doubt if any named peril played a meaningful role in bringing about the loss. [ 11:00 ] - Malicious mischief? It's a consideration, but sorry Mike, there are other intervening causes here. [ 12:05 ] - Going through the options, several named perils might apply: Artificially Generated Electrical Current, Falling Objects, or Vehicles. [ 13:00 ] - Sudden and Accidental Damage from Artificially Generated Electrical Current sounds like it should apply, but the text says it does not apply to objects with electronic components. [ 14:18 ] - The Vehicles peril just says "vehicles." [ 15:00 ] - If the insured is driving, you might run into an intentional loss exclusion issue, and innocent co-insured concerns. [ 16:00 ] - The insured can get paid for the tree, even though the list of perils is shorter for that particular coverage, because the loss was caused by a vehicle not owned or operated by a resident. [ 17:35 ] - Tim provides a recap of the scenario and the points above.

This episode builds on last week's discussion about mediation preparation, offering valuable insights into what actually happens during mediation sessions.Seth and Pete explore with Tami how mediation differs from courtroom proceedings, particularly in how it empowers couples to make their own decisions.

‘Tis the Season... for Co-Parenting Conflict!No parent wants to deal with emergency motion handling orders or duty judges on the holidays, but it happens. Stress can be high and the holidays – any holiday – can become a ripe place to pick a fight. So how do you avoid conflict to make the holidays still a special time for the kids?The key is to do everything you can to avoid problems. Often, that means getting your ego out of the way so that you and your ex can make it about the kids. Avoid exchanges on travel days. Try to not split actual holidays, but if you have to, think about the activities of the day and plan accordingly. (In other words, if you're splitting Christmas, do it in the afternoon so they can enjoy Christmas morning.) And do what you can to avoid escalation – perhaps you need to stay away from the eggnog until after you've dropped the kids off.What about gifts? The kids were used to getting gifts from both parents. You don't have to stop co-gifting just because you're divorced. It may be what your child needs to feel safe around the holiday. Seth and Pete offer lots of great advice. Tune in, and have yourself a happy and safe holiday season.Links & NotesSchedule a consult with SethGot a question you want to ask on the show? Click here!

But what you were not told in that classroom is about the mystery that took place on that voyage… on that very ship... that went unsolved for over three hundred years. (The Mayflower Mystery) *** June O'Brien has a problem. She loved toast… and her toast did a really good job of toasting bread. So what was the problem? Well… it appears her toaster was possessed by the devil. (June O'Brien's Satanic Toaster) *** It was June 1969, and less than a week from his seventh birthday; Dennis went camping with his dad, brother and grandpa for Father's Day weekend. The next day they bumped into some other Father's Day campers with kids and they all became quick friends. But while the kids were playing in the tall grass, Dennis disappeared… and was never seen again. (What Happened To Dennis Martin?) *** But first – how can you believe in extraterrestrials, but not be convinced of alien spacecraft? That's the argument being made by one well-known astronomer.
