    America Under One Sky: Why the Weather Can Be So Wild!

    The primary research for this episode comes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Weather Service (NWS), National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL), National Hurricane Center (NHC), and Fifth National Climate Assessment. Key researched claims used in the episode include: NOAA distinguishes weather as short-term atmospheric conditions from climate as long-term patterns, commonly measured using 30-year climate normals.NOAA explains that mountains and topography can produce major differences in rainfall and temperature over short distances.The jet stream helps move weather systems across the United States and influences temperature and precipitation patterns.Atmospheric rivers can stretch more than 1,000 miles, and an average atmospheric river transports water vapor roughly comparable to the average flow at the mouth of the Mississippi River.The United States experiences roughly 100,000 thunderstorms per year.Lightning strikes the United States about 25 million times annually.Approximately 1,200 tornadoes occur in the United States annually, although the number varies from year to year.The Atlantic hurricane season officially runs June 1 through November 30. The 1991–2020 average is 14 named storms, seven hurricanes and three major hurricanes.Lake-effect snow bands can produce snowfall rates of two to three inches per hour or more.Hawaii’s mountains and prevailing trade winds create major differences between wetter windward areas and generally drier leeward areas.The Fifth National Climate Assessment reports observed warming across U.S. regions and increases in heavy precipitation across most regions over the period studied.

    Mirthspawn Is Almost Here — But Let’s Talk About Mental Health!

    Mirthspawn is only a couple of weeks away from launch, and there’s a lot happening behind the scenes. In this episode of Thomas Talks, Thomas gives an update on Mirthspawn, talks about working on three other companies at the same time, and explains why the podcast hasn’t been forgotten—even with everything else demanding his attention. But the main focus of this episode is something bigger: mental health. Backed by current research and statistics from organizations including SAMHSA, the CDC, and the World Health Organization, Thomas talks about the pressure to always appear okay, burnout, entrepreneurship, loneliness, young people’s mental health, the importance of real human connection, and why asking for help shouldn’t be viewed as weakness. It’s also a personal conversation about ambition—how easy it can be to become so focused on building businesses, chasing goals, and preparing for what’s next that you forget to take care of the person doing all the building. Mirthspawn is getting close. New companies are being built. Thomas Talks is still here. And sometimes, before talking about business or success, we need to talk about how we’re actually doing. If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis or thoughts of suicide in the United States, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
