How long does an EV battery really last? Dave's 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E has now surpassed an incredible 350,000 miles, making it one of the highest-mileage Mustang Mach-Es on the road today. In this episode of Turn Down for Watt, we revisit Dave to discuss EV battery degradation, battery health, charging habits, maintenance costs, reliability, and long-term electric vehicle ownership after hundreds of thousands of miles.When Dave first joined the show, his 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium had already surpassed 250,000 miles, challenging everything many people thought they knew about EV battery life, electric vehicle reliability, and long-term ownership costs. Now, with another 100,000 miles added to the odometer, we wanted to check back in and see what has changed—and what hasn't.Can a modern EV really go 350,000 miles on its original battery? How much range has been lost? What maintenance and repairs have been required? What has ownership actually cost compared to a gas vehicle? And what lessons can EV owners, fleet operators, and EV skeptics learn from one of the highest-mileage electric vehicles on the road today?Connect with Dave:

Should I Turn Down My Inheritance? Episode 386 – Why would you ever choose NOT to accept an inheritance? There are a few good reasons. And it's doable if you decide that's what you want. More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 386 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode: should I turn down my inheritance? So, a family member has died recently and left some assets to you. You should be happy you've been left an inheritance, but it's complicated. Maybe you'd rather the money went to someone else. Or maybe, for whatever reason, it's just not worth the trouble. Do you have to accept it? The answer is no. Why would you ever choose not to accept assets that someone has given to you? There are a few situations where it makes sense. One case might be related to federal or state estate taxes. If you're already a high-net-worth individual who may have an estate tax issue, it may be better to disclaim, assuming your preferred beneficiary is next in line. This is especially true if the next beneficiaries are your children, who are likely to inherit your assets eventually. Why subject the assets to an extra layer of taxation on the way there? Also, inheriting certain assets, such as a traditional IRA, can be very complicated. When you inherit an IRA, unless you're a surviving spouse, current tax law requires you to withdraw the funds—and pay income taxes along the way—within ten years. If you're in a high-income tax bracket, you might not end up with as much as you hoped for. The next person in line, who might be in a lower income tax bracket, could end up with more money after taxes. And they may need the income more than you do. One sophisticated strategy some people use is to set up their favorite charity as a secondary beneficiary to their estate. If the IRA owner trusts his or her heirs' judgment, he or she could leave the IRA to them. They would then figure out whether it makes sense to disclaim the IRA, allowing it to pass to the charity. This could result in considerable income tax savings.[1] Sometimes there are other reasons you might choose to disclaim. The asset could be a rundown piece of real estate with deferred maintenance or environmental issues. In a case like that, you might decide that you just don't want it. Or maybe you simply don't need it. That could be a key consideration if the next person in line is your child or someone else you care about. Just keep in mind that it gets tricky if the new inheritor is a minor. Minors are considered legally incapable of owning assets directly, so they generally can't assume control or management of inherited assets. A court-appointed legal guardianship may be required.[2] So, what happens if you decide the answer is “no, thanks?” You would then need to file what's called a “qualified disclaimer.” If you do it properly, the assets pledged to you will be passed along to the next person in line. Although every state and every situation is different, here are some generic rules you might need to follow:[3] The disclaimer must be in writing. It also needs to be irrevocable and without any qualifications. Once you decide to disclaim, you can't change your mind. Also, you're not allowed to make it contingent on something else happening or not happening. The disclaimer must be made before you accept the assets. You can't give them back once you have them. It must be made in a timely manner. You generally need to submit the disclaimer within 9 months. However, there is an exception if the beneficiary is under age 21. In that case, the deadline is nine months after they reach age 21.[4] The disclaimer also needs to be unlimited. You're not going to be able to attach any conditions to the disclaimer. Note that it is also possible to execute a partial qualified disclaimer, but it can be tricky. For example, if you're scheduled to receive a certain number of shares in a publicly traded company, you may be able to keep a selected percentage of those shares while disclaiming the rest.[5] It's important to understand that a qualified disclaimer has its limitations. Maybe the most important of those is that you have to completely give up any right to the disclaimed assets. In other words, if you say no, you don't get to choose what happens next. You'll need to look closely to see where the money will end up if you disclaim. You might prefer that your children be next in line, but it's not your choice. If it's actually your long-lost cousin Ethel, that could also be a factor in your decision. It's not often that people are in a position to decline inherited assets. But in certain situations, it's nice to know that it can be done, if it makes sense.

This week on the New Music Business podcast, Ari sits down with Red Leather, the anonymous artist who turned viral TikTok videos into sold-out tours around the world. Known for his signature red hat, Red Leather first started his career by busking on Hollywood Boulevard before exploding online with viral covers and original songs like “The Only Time It Rains in Hollywood.” In this episode, Red Leather breaks down how he used social media to grow his audience from scratch, why he posted 5 videos a day for 100 straight days, how smashing guitars outside Capitol Records landed him a record deal (that he turned down), and why ticket sales matter more than streams or viral moments.

What if a powerful climate solution in cities isn't a new building, but the roof that's already there? As heat waves intensify across Europe, architect and MIT-trained educator Olivier Faber explains how his firm, Roofscapes is transforming overlooked rooftops into cooling, accessible, green infrastructure. Starting with Paris's iconic zinc roofs, the conversation unpacks why existing buildings are misaligned with today's climate, how shading and vegetation can dramatically reduce indoor temperatures without air conditioning, and why renovation and adaptation may matter more than new construction in the decades ahead. Along the way, Olivier reveals the political, technical, and cultural battles behind testing climate solutions in historic cities, and why climate adaptation is about changing how we value the buildings we already have.Thumbnail Image courtesy of RoofscapesSubscribe to Most Podern on:Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/3zYvX2lRZOpHcZW41WGVrpApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/most-podern-podcast/id1725756164Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@MostPodernInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/most.podernLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/most-podernKeywordsarchitecture, climate change, renovation, urban design, sustainability, Roofscapes, green roofs, preservation, adaptation, building practices, Paris, urban design, heat island effectChapters00:00 Background and Journey into Architecture00:51 Exploring Alternative Architecture Practices03:52 Introducing Roofscapes and Its Mission06:17 Physical Adaptation: Before and After07:16 The Challenges of Zinc Roofs in Urban Design10:29 Innovative Solutions for Urban Heat Management11:34Pitching Green Roof Solutions to Building Owners14:08 Navigating the Complexities of Building Regulations17:14 Measuring the Impact of Climate Adaptation Projects24:09 Future Directions for Climate Adaptation in ArchitectureLinksOlivier Faber - https://www.linkedin.com/in/olivier-faberRoofscapes - https://www.roofscapes.studio/MITx - https://mitxonline.mit.edu/

Pastor Andy Cass 'Tis the season of noise—commercials, carols, wrapping paper, and endless hustle. But what if the greatest miracle of Christmas isn't found in the noise… but in the silence? In this Christmas message, Pastor Andy explores the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth in Luke 1, reminding us that sometimes God speaks loudest when we finally stop to listen. Big Idea: Silence is not the absence of sound. Silence is the space where God is invited to speak. TEXT: Luke 1:5–23, Galatians 6:9, Habakkuk 1:2, Mark 4:38–41, 1 Thessalonians 5:19–21, Luke 19:40 NOTES: The Problem: We are surrounded by noise—audible and internal—that muffles the most important voices in our lives. The Plan: Turn down the noise and create space to hear God. Practical Steps — How to Set Up Silence: Keep work at work. Shut off the screens. Try one weeknight with no TV or phone. No-phone zone. Leave your device overnight. Pause social media. Open your doors. Invite someone over—build connection. Make a memory. Do something simple and meaningful. Schedule silence. Set a time to be still and listen. Faith Formation Plan: Calm the Storm: Invite Jesus to quiet your chaos (Mark 4:38–41). Sit in Silence: Learn the art of listening—faith and doubt can both lean in.
