We hear the tech crunch disrupt here with the Rift Cat and who are you? I'm Marek, I'm CEO of Rift Cat and we do virtual reality on Google Cardboards. And who are you? I'm Machi, I'm the business development for Rift Cat. So you start up, right? Yeah, exactly, we're start up and we're doing pretty well and we're here to show you what do we have. So basically, I enable USB technology. So you do a USB connection? Yeah, I do. USB host connection? Yeah, it's connected to the PC, but I can do it as well as a true Wi-Fi. But it's very crowded here, I mean Wi-Fi, there's a lot of Wi-Fi here, so it's going to be glitchy. So you have a special app running on Windows? Exactly, on Windows and on Android. And now, when I activate the USB, I can see the connection, but I can choose the Wi-Fi as well. That's cool. So you can go connect USB and untethered? Yeah, untethered. Yeah, exactly. USB cable is just more stable. And is it direct USB or the hotspot? Over a Wi-Fi. Yeah, that's fine. But you can do ad-foc connection as well, it doesn't matter really. And then I choose the USB connection and we have, wait a second, it's connected. And now everything is ready. I just press in the Windows, I just press, play stream VR games. So now you're going to play stream VR, which is only for HTC Vive and Oculus. Yeah, and Oculus Rift. And which is $700. Exactly. And you're going to play on any phone with a... Yeah, any on-card board. Exactly. Exactly, it's not normally, it's not available in the... It's not available in the Google Cardboard, but when we use our software and we press play stream VR, it starts to think that this is an HTC Vive connected. It's going to reach for several seconds, but it's going to stabilize for a second. Okay, and here it is, look, I can turn around and I'm going to launch a SteamVR game, Project Cars, which is made by the Italian company. Play in VR. Play in VR, yeah, it's just a typical... This is a typical routine that HTC Vive user is having. And we launch the game and now it shows up. But it's going to be full 3D, it's just the menu. And in the game, this is how it looks in HTC Vive as well. PC games take a long time to load, no? Yeah, of course. Nothing to do with yours, is that it's... We are not using any computing resources on the computer. You're not emulating, you're transcoding something, you're grabbing the image. Yeah, we are taking the video and we are using the video decoding modules, which does not affect the performance of the game. So basically, I can choose the game, for example, I don't know, the track or something in the game. But I can play any game, I can play Minecraft, I can play Subnautica, I can play Eurotrack Simulator 2, Windlands... Whenever the game is made for Oculus or for HTC Vive, it will play. Okay, that's it. That's it, look, it works, right? So is the quality as good as an HTC Vive? Not... Well, it's obvious that... It's better, yeah. Because you can have a 2K display. Yeah, you can, but of course, HTC Vive is, you know, a 600 euro worth of equipment. You can have a 4K Sony phone, and it's better than... No, it's not. Okay, so what's the difference? The difference is this costs... It's for free, our app is for free. But it's the free version, it's for free, but for 15 euro... How do you drive? In the... We are using the power, the gamepad, yeah. So basically, look at the responsiveness. I mean, I'm turning around, and it turns around instantly. It doesn't... There's no lag, there's no delay. I can do... Well, basically, I can play like in normal HTC Vive. And the difference, of course, there will be difference. It depends on the phone, it depends on the headset. You can... You don't have the trackers and the IR trackers in the room. Yeah. Can you add this? Oh, yes, there are options for it as a... Do it yourself, do it yourself equipment. You can use PSI's with PS Moves to track. They are using LeapMotion device as well. Our users are creative. Yeah, the WeModes can be used as well. So basically, it's a little bit like a do-it-yourself virtual reality. Backing and looking on the internet, you can do most everything with it. But there is still plenty of games that does not require hand tracking to play, like the project cars, for example. And it's a really great entry point for PC VR because instead of investing 600 euro upfront, you can just try it with our application. You have your phone and buy a 5 euro headset. 2 euro. Yeah. 2 euro, yeah. You give it for free, right? Yeah. Some other companies do. Yeah, exactly. This is Da Vinci VR headset made by Polish company. It's very comfortable. It's one of the best cardboards I've ever used. You can try it out. Polish? It's a Polish company, Da Vinci VR. And they sell it for 5 euros. Something about that. I don't remember the exact price. How do they make money, all these people? How do they make money? And how do you make money? We make money. Because it's free. Yeah, it's free. But it's a free version. But it's limited. The free version is limited to 10 minutes of gameplay. Every time. Aye, aye, aye. Yeah, but. But after the 10 minutes, you can restart the game again. Yeah. It just disconnects. After 10 minutes, it's just disconnect. But you can start as many sessions as you want. What if you want to play 12 minutes? How much do you pay? 15 euros. 15? Yeah. That's OK? Yeah, it's OK. It's not so expensive. It's cheaper than... It's not even close to the price of an HTC Vive or an Oculus Rift. So basically for around $50, you get a risk-free VR experience. Risk-free? Yeah. Because if you don't like it for 10 minutes, you're not going to like it for 15 euros. Actually, most VR games, after 10 minutes, you're kind of tired of it, no? I'm talking, it depends. It depends. It depends on the game, of course. How about... Since when are you launched? Are you already... We launched in March 2016. There was a beta version. And in June 2016, we launched with early access when the app became paid one. How many users? We are reaching 100,000 registered users. 100,000? Yeah, people really like our software. It's very nice. Where are you based? We are based in Poland. And how many hackers in your team? Real hackers, too. Just two. And the other hackers are just not really... No, no, we have a department which makes games. I'm also coding, but I'm coding mostly front and all that kind of stuff, but I'm now shifting to a CEO role. We have Kasia, which is a designer, but she's also a founder. And we have plenty of people working remotely with us. Is it a lot of cash? I mean, successful? Yeah, yeah, we are not pressured to raise another round of funding. So what are you doing here? We are seeking publicity. Publicity, you want to show our product? Yeah, we are seeking publicity because this is a really good product and people really like it. And the only thing that's left is to show people that such a product exists. That's what we do. So what I'd like you to do for like 15 euros more is put some IR tracker and beamer in a room. So you have the whole complete package. Yeah, but you can do it, well, you can do it yourself. We, as a software company... We give you a software that you can build on and you can expand yourself in your home. But every successful software company has to sell hardware also, no? Not always. We feel that if we try to split into three different products, nothing's going to be good. Here we come to the one thing and we let our users expand on whatever they want. Is there any chance that Oculus or HTC is going to block you? No, Steam send us an HTC Vive 4.3 because they liked our product. And then later on they accidentally... They accidentally broke our drivers. Yeah, they accidentally broke our drivers so our software didn't work. So we told them and they released a patch in 24 hours for their live Steam servers. They released a patch and there's patch notes saying a fixed RiftCAD driver to work with the latest Steam VR driver. So basically they're taking care of what they're caring about. We're doing promotion for them because not everybody's going to buy an HTC Vive off the rack. And for them, it's easier to support us because people get the idea of VR. They buy the games anyways. And later on they will buy HTC Vive anyway and another thing is that entire VR industry is now fighting to get mainstream attention. So basically anyone who can bring the PC VR to the people and make it more available is welcome. HTC Vive is great but you have 100,000 users.  Yeah, it's easier to gain registered users for the software than getting people to buy 600 euro device. It's just easier. Can you consider other business models maybe provide the software fully functional for free but make money similar? We are actually working right now with a couple of headset manufacturers to be able to deliver our product with their headset. So as a bundle deal. So whenever you would buy a specific headset you would get the software for free. It will do it with the price of the headset. Also several manufacturers are interested in pre-installing our application in their heads. Because they have a headset that is still Android based but it has built-in Android device. Nice, and it could be an all-in-one VR headset. Exactly, an all-in-one VR headset. Exactly, and then we're working with them to include the product with their product. So whenever you get a headset and an all-in-one headset you would have an experience out of the box. Nice, what's next anyways? What else do you have to do? Well, what we want to do is because we use the point where we are comfortable but our next challenge is to scale this up to make this like to make a big impact and become a instead of becoming a good lifestyle business to become a huge company. So we have to create growth now and maybe some day partner with Google for example who would be interested in applying such technology in Daydream platform. So we are planning short term but we have a vision for the long term as well. Does your app not work with the Daydream APIs and everything? No, no, it works but it's just, you know, Google is a big player so maybe they would be interested to like make it integrated into Daydream platform or maybe pre-install it with every Android. And how smooth is it of a Wi-Fi? Is it very, very good? It's similar to the USB connection. No lag, no issue. No, of course it depends. If you're getting crowded network then it starts to get laggy but then you will connect to your... I know it's not going to work. You're not going to play it. The public networks are overcharged. It's working the best over 5 GHz Wi-Fi network. 2.4 GHz network can be choppy. But it's more compressed on the Wi-Fi, right? You compress the... You can choose the settings in Rift-CAD at which bitrate you want to send it. So basically the higher settings you set up, the better visual fidelity you will see but also if you get too much then your phone might not be able to decode Maybe somebody can connect the USB Type-C dongle that has 60 GHz or something faster. Yeah, yeah. Actually, this is just impossible. That's why we like to work with people out there because people get crazy ideas and they do them for us. We need to deliver a good piece of software and people will make the hardware for it. Like I said, I've seen a setup with 3 PSI's and 3 PS Moves within the room and he did a room setup with just a couple of controllers. Our community is amazing and we love them. We are trying to be very close with them. We are also... We are featuring their creations a lot. We want to be close with them and we are always honest with them about the development, what's going to happen, what we do, why we didn't release something in the patch or something. We are always communicating because we want to be close with those people because they love VR the same way as we do. Is it in a forum? We are communicating with them through social media, like Facebook, Twitter, et cetera. We also communicate with them through Reddit. We also have our own development blog where we describe the patches and they comment. They send us email, we have an active help desk in which we are leaving no one without response. Usually we are responsible within 24 hours and we can help you with setting everything up and all that kind of stuff. Nice. Maybe the next step also is we can stream the games over the cloud. Is that too hard? You don't need to have a Windows PC anymore. It's too hard, right? Yeah, it's not that it's hard. It's the limitation of the network. I guess, well, we thought about it, but the limitation is not only the network but the speed of light because moving the signal from Berlin to, for example, Minsk in Belarus, it will take some time and this delay, we cannot do anything about it because it's basically... It's physics. Yeah, that's physics. It's physics. That's the first problem. The second problem is streaming such video is a huge amount of data. So cloud servers would cost a lot to stream this over the internet. What's the good bit rate for this? 15, 20 megabits per second. So that's kind of a lot. And doing this in real time, it's not feasible business-wise because no one would pay that much money for it to... Maybe you partner with ISP? Like VT, virtual media? Yeah, maybe. This is something we can consider, but not now. It's just something for the future. Now we want to deliver a good user experience to the users so they can play their games on their phones. There's plenty of possible directions that this technology can go. And, well, we are up for opportunities and we have a lot of plans for this. So stay tuned and watch our development on blog.ritkat.com and you will see how we do, how we work and how we do all...


Welcome to Recipes for Creative Community Building. For over a decade, the Laundromat Project has worked with artists to ignite the collective power of their diverse communities to solve challenges and create positive change. Over the years, we've tested a recipe for change and Creative Community Building. I'm going to share with you the four ingredient recipes that we've found has been key to our success. First, we start our recipe with people power. A key ingredient to the collaborative work needed to make change happen. Bringing this recipe to life requires creative catalysts, connectors to bring unconventional perspectives and creative solutions to challenges and situations. And the base of this recipe, what really holds it together, is our communities. And the extra kick, the ingredient that really sets this recipe off, is propelled by love. Love is a radical and essential tool of power and protests. Love propels us and we embrace it. Here at the Laundromat Project, we've tested and adapted our recipe for over a decade. So when your recipe for change is getting stuck or missing something, use this recipe to make it happen. Check out the Laundromat Project on social media and hashtag the LP Recipe.


It is currently 6 45 on the nose. I need to head into my workout class I'm starting a new schedule, and I'm gonna be waking up at around like 5 30 every day now because Joel Does trading so he works online. He is starting to wake up at 3 o'clock a.m. I'm going to bed at 7 so I kind of want to be more on his schedule Just because we eat dinner together We want to be able to like not just ever see each other So I'm kind of like hopping on a schedule just because I like doing it anyways And it gives me a lot of motivation since he's already out of bed So I'm adjusting my schedule a bit to go back to waking up super early, but I already feel amazing I didn't get like as much sleep as I wanted to last night I wasn't used to going to bed early, but I'll get used to it and it'll all be fine And you guys people are so crazy Oh my god because I never really talk about Joel that often just because I like keeping my relationship private He doesn't have an online presence like at all But somebody commented on one of my tiktoks and I'm like Joel was even in it Maybe he was like in the background and somebody commented and they were like your boyfriend is so Taking advantage of you how you pay for everything and he doesn't even have a job and going off and I'm like When did I ever say that like how did you just pull that out of your ass? Like you just completely made that up and it was pretty funny Then like my friend was beefing her in the comments It's pretty funny, but it's just like people are crazy like just because I don't share my relationship Doesn't mean you could just make bold assumptions like that Honestly, I just see it as funny like I don't take offense to it whatsoever because I know that like hate is just their problem Not mine. It's just a reflection. It's honestly just kind of entertaining for me But anyways, I gotta go but I'll talk to you guys after the workout Feel so productive already Relationship with discipline is like such an important relationship because discipline is key in your life No matter how it is for you like discipline is gonna look different for everybody, but it is key I feel like especially for my life to living a happy healthy life because if I didn't have discipline I wouldn't work out. I wouldn't get up early. I wouldn't do anything. I would literally just sit on the couch all day I was just thinking about how it's just such an important quality to build and it's not gonna happen overnight but you need to kind of gain trust with yourself and You need to build discipline within yourself and just to even know that you can like rely on yourself is so important These past like few months I've been trying to really grow my relationship with my discipline because I completely like fell off of it and I just feel like the Best I've ever felt having a good relationship with discipline And so I would like consider thinking about You and thinking about how do you incorporate discipline in your life and what does that look like for you? How does it make you happy etc me pushing myself to get up to work out eat healthy? It's not necessarily easy, but it's literally like the determination and the discipline that gets me through and then in turn That makes me feel so amazing because I know I can rely and count on myself. Let's go home and take a nice Shower, I don't know if I have anything to make a smoothie today Because we're gonna go grocery shopping after so we'll see but let's go shower This is the brand of salsa that I've been using I don't know if you guys have ever heard of it But I just kind of stumbled upon it in the whole food store if you want to like pause and read the ingredients It's so good and there's nothing added in here. That doesn't need to be in here So the ingredients are super clean and yeah, so I just wanted to share this is the brand and It's a very very clean healthy salsa. Here's what I made for breakfast I'm actually starting to eat eggs again just because since I'm cutting out oats I really don't know what else to eat and I feel like eggs are okay with me So I just made an omelette. I put organic grass-fed sausage into it with spinach I honestly don't have anything in my fridge. So I'm gonna go grocery shopping today But usually I'd put like mushrooms peppers and stuff like that But I'm just trying to use up what I have in my fridge I put spinach in it as well and then topped it with avocado and then the salsa that I just showed you but So so good and salsa on top you guys is so fire I feel like nobody knows this trick, but putting it on top of an omelette is so good. I'm so excited to eat this We're start getting ready here is a little update on my neck eczema as you can see it is not the best But it is doing a lot better than This weekend so I'm happy about that. I mean there's progress like it's not the worst, but it's still there And it's still it's not as itchy as this weekend, which is good, but we're getting there I know it'll heal eventually as I heal my gut, but I'm just trying to like I said Manifested away and not put so much attention on it, but I just thought that I'd give you guys a bit of an update So it's currently around 9 30 right now And honestly feel a little bit over one today just because I have so much to get done in terms of just like so Many aspects like not even just work, but our garage is still full With things that I need to look through and I don't even know how like I have so much stuff Like I don't even know where to come from, but our rod just so far is getting me through right now, but our Rod is so full with stuff and I need to look through just so many like a little Things that I don't even know what to do with but yeah I'm honestly just feeling really overwhelmed because I know I need to look through all that and then I'm also deciding on what I want to do with my room because I haven't really focused and put much money put any attention Into my glam room here that I'm trying to make for myself I bought this new vanity and this mirror But I don't even know if I like the mirror anymore because it's like really small and now that I'm looking at it I'm like I should have gotten something a lot bigger for this wall So I might try to sell this mirror and then get a new book one because I'm just on vibing with it Like something is off about this room and I think it's this mirror that I just really don't like so I think I might get a new mirror also I'm thinking that I might want to do wallpaper on this wall behind me like some cute little floral Wallpaper and I know I don't need to rush anything like I know it's really not Anything to stress about but at the same time like I just I'm feeling like I want things to be done And I'm still debating on like what kind of bed frame to get because the bed frame that I want is Like 15 $1,600 for me It's like spending $1,600 on a bed frame is like something I've never done before like that's a lot of money for a bed frame But at the same time I'm really trying to destroy my limiting beliefs around money If I can afford it and if I can do it like who cares like why don't I just make myself happy? And it's just so important to constantly be reminding myself that money comes to me because I am Appendance and no matter how much money I spend like that's always gonna be returned in doubles And spending money is like an energy exchange you guys like we always get buyers remorse Like that's so just like a natural thing for us to get but it's like when you spend money You are doing an energy exchange So if the money that you're spending is worth what you want then you're not Losing anything you're just trading and when you think about it that way You will never get buyers remorse because you're thinking of it more as an exchange rather than a loss And when you think of spending money as a loss Then the universe is literally going to match that vibration and your money is going to keep depreciating Because every time you spend it you feel a lack that is the opposite of what you should be feeling like when you spend money You should feel abundant and it's been ingrained in us since we were younger That we shouldn't be spending our money that money doesn't grow on trees and all these sayings and all these rules and all these things But none of that is actually true. It's hard when you have had these beliefs for so long Anyways routing back to the bed frame that I want I just need to like pull a trigger on it and just get it for myself I can easily afford that bed frame and I want it So like why am I not doing it? It's literally because I have the limiting belief that I shouldn't be spending that much money on a bed frame Like that is my sole purpose for not getting it I feel like buying it will be like a good exercise for me But anyway, so back to what I was originally saying I definitely want to put wallpaper on the back of this wall because I just like don't know what else to do in this room Feels very very very extremely plain and I kind of want to come up with like a plan for it It's just such a good feeling when I feel like you have a place for everything and right now I just still don't feel like that and I know it'll come together soon I'm honestly really excited for fall just because it's so cozy And I just feel like I've been in summer for so long now because we were in Europe for three months And it was like sunny and hot every day and so it feels like I've been in summer for like five months now So my body is kind of like naturally craving a season change Which is kind of crazy comment down below if you guys are excited for fall because I personally really am and also I'm just excited to dress for fall. It's kind of boring dressing for the summer sometimes because it's so basic It's like tank top shorts and I don't know maybe just because I don't really have any like good nice summer clothes But I just like love the fall vibes and like thrifting for fall is so fine And I'm definitely gonna go thrifting this week for me The worst time of the year is like February to May because there's nothing like that big going on I'm it's my birthday. So thank God at least I have that but we're approaching the fall season And then soon enough it's gonna be like the holiday season and it's like the best time of year honestly But anyways, I'm just gonna get dressed for today because I just have my crew neck and shorts on I want to put like a real outfit on because we're gonna go grocery shopping I'm also only halfway through this, but it's so freakin good This cinnamon just adds a really nice like fall flavor to the mirror that I was talking about that I'm not really that fond of it's pretty small and I just feel like look at how big this wall is you guys I just I don't know I feel like it just doesn't fit the wall properly and a bigger nice like you know statement mirror would look so much Better so I'm gonna look into that but I think this room is gonna be the last thing that comes together, which is okay, but I'm excited Just got ready to leave the house I'm just wearing these white fox jeans with this tube top and just this plain simple black purse But it's kind of like the perfect medium between like summer and fall Because I don't really have any shorts that I like right now Like I only have one pair and I wear them all the time So I've been kind of transferring mint over to jeans and like a tank top Because I think this is like super cute and it's not like I don't think it's extremely hot today So this should be fine just because I'm gonna be in the stores. Anyways, it's only I'm gonna be chilling outside so Yeah, this is a little Errand outfit for today. I have a lot of errands to run So it's better to like leave earlier in the day So I can just get them over with and then relax and chill tonight and do like computer work later Because I like kind of going out first thing and then doing computer work later on in the day So let's head out. Oh, I just got to indigo. This is gonna be my first errand Because yesterday or for the last couple of days They were having a sale on their home decor and me and Jill don't have pillows for our couch yet We bought two pillows and then we took them home and we hated them because they were just like the wrong shade of Cream it was just like super yellow and didn't go with the vibe So I'm gonna stop at home since to return those in a bit But first I'm gonna pick up the new pills from indigo and they're like circle sherpa pillows And they're so cute and they were like 30% off Which is really good because I feel like indigo like never has sales I order them online to the store so that I can get them right away And they had three left in stock and that was like the perfect amount that I wanted So I'm gonna pick up those and then try them on the couch And if they don't work out there's always an option to return them. They're so cute So I'm just gonna go quickly go in there and pick them up. Let's let's go Okay, I just picked them up. They're so cute. I really hope that they match the couch I just feel like I ran a marathon like grocery shopping is actually it's fun But it's also like if you want to go to like several different stores It's it's a lot and it's like very draining because when I go to somewhere that's like super busy in public I don't know why but like just like a lot of me that drained my energy And it's more like an energetic tiredness where it's like, okay I just want to be like in my house now and don't I don't want to talk to anybody or see anybody Not that I was even talking but it's just more of the fact that it's like you're surrounded by like so many people Anyways, okay, let's go home. Okay. Here is a little grocery haul So I got some ginger for my detox smoothies in the morning and then I got some baby Carrots these are actually organic and I thought that they'd be like a perfect snack to have during the day And they're so cute and then I got some breakfast sausages. These are like organic and no anti-biotics Got some coxiva's Grass-fed butter for Joel just because he can eat dairy and then I got a bunch of mushrooms because I've honestly been in my mushroom era I've been loving cooking with these and putting them in like omelets and then I got this coffee from Costco Actually, it's salt-spraying coffee and it's organic and fair trade And so I just thought that it would be like a really good blend since it's like healthier getting it organic and then I went to meridian got some chicken wings some salmon and Some pork chops and then I got some organic medjool dates from Costco as well And then I got some potatoes and then in here We just got some of my favorite rice chips that only have like four ingredients Then I got some cream for Joel some peppers some bananas and then some lemons And then I just got salad and spinach So I'm just about to make my homemade Almond slash cashew milk what I do is I just take half a cup of cashews half a cup of almonds I just soak them in cold water for a few hours or overnight I'm gonna drain this water put them in the blender add in two to three dates depending on their size So I just have three because they're small and then adds a little bit of cinnamon and then add Three and a half cups of water to the blender It's super easy and they just gotta milk it through a milk bag, but it's so easy and it's so healthy So this is all blended up now So I have my milk bag you could probably get at your grocery store probably ordered on Amazon as well And then what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna pour what I just mixed inside the milk bag And then you literally just have to milk it like a cow. So I'll show you guys what I mean I showed it in my last vlog But I guess this is a different recipe. I like this cashew almond milk better than just the almond milk by the way So if you are going to try I would definitely recommend doing both But try out both and let me know which one you like better. I just poured the milk into this jug I got this from Canadian Tire and I love it so much I think it's so cute and I really want to get another one because I Made chocolate milk the other day and oh my gosh you guys in my next vlog Maybe I'll put that recipe if you guys want to let me know but it was so Good. This is just the cutest mug and then you just pop her in the fridge and she's good to go I'm pretty sure this lasts for probably about a week just because you're not putting any preservatives in it But as long as you add a little bit of salt, it'll help keep it fresh and then put it in the fridge But it's definitely gonna go bad faster than if you were to buy milk from the store So just be aware of that I usually end up using this all in like during the week or a couple days Anyways, so I don't have to worry about that But that's why it's good to make like small batches at once, but it is so good like you'll be surprised how good it tastes It's so much healthier for you And I'm pretty sure it might be cheaper too to do it this way But yeah, so amazing and so quick and easy to make and I honestly really like the process of making it But got my milk and then this is what the bag looks like after you're done And what you want to do is open the bag and inside you'll see like all this pulp inside You want to keep this pulp because you can make like cookies and stuff out of them I might actually make them today or tomorrow So I'll show you guys when I make them and give you the recipe for that But the pulp is really really good to keep because you can do so much with it So do not throw this away, but yeah, that is my cashew almond milk recipe Let me know if you guys make it send me a DM or something or a photo of it And let me know how you guys like it if you I put the pillows on the couch Let me know what you guys think me and Joel are just like really unsure I like them, but I'm not sure so please Let me know your guys's votes down below if we should keep the pillows or not because we need some help We're really just not sure what to do, but let me know your opinions because they are returnable So we're just gonna I think like sit on it and see if we like them eventually I just don't know if they're the vibe. So let me know If you're not sure No side back your own I'm reaching side But we know something demon guys You know that's how Jesus died you know that's how Julius Caesar died. I bet he was decent guys I swear they I'm trying to be under your breath like he's going right. He never get treated nice for you once. That's fine But you look down on the table. I hope I'm able to get this agreement sign told you I needed Tests like since the medieval times and I'm still just a federal can even though this is decent times good morning you guys I kind of like coming to my class a little bit early because I just kind of like to sit in the car but it is the first kind of like gloomy day that we've had in a while to be honest like last night at 3 a.m. I woke up because Joel's alarm went off and happy that I did because I heard the most beautiful like rainstorm I find that so calming when I'm sleeping and I don't know I was just like so nice to hear it was like a full-on like gush of rain with like wind and it just sounded so nice I was like so happy in that moment my Xima is not doing the best today it's kind of like burning my face right now to be honest and it doesn't feel the best it kind of put me in like a downer mood this morning and I just like don't feel that confident to be honest and that's like a really really sucky feeling and I'm trying to like get over that I just don't want to let my Xima control my life whether you suffer with like a skin condition like Xima or you have acne or whatever it is I feel like it's so important to learn to just be confident regardless and not let it like rule your mood I guess it's like different when like it's literally kind of painful and itchy but if it's just like for appearance wise it's so important just to like learn how to not let it you know take over your life and ruin your mood easier said than done of course but baby steps in the right direction kind of dreading this workout today to be honest today's just one of those days I just want to like lay on the couch and cuddle up all day to be honest like that's like the vibe of today but since fall and winter is coming it's like it's gonna be gloomy days every day so well pretty much maybe not on the fall because the fall kind of actually sometimes is nice weather but majority of the time it's gonna be raining and maybe today I'll just take it kind of easy because I'm just not feeling my best like my face is burning me but anyway it's happy Tuesday you guys I got this hoodie from white fox a while ago and it's my first time wearing it and I put it on and I when I was leaving the house I went to go put something in the pocket but then I realized there is literally no pocket to this hoodie like it's just it's kind of like a hoodie crew net it's so odd to me because I have never had a hoodie it hasn't had a pocket here and I didn't even notice because why would you look like you just assume but it's interesting so let me know if you guys haven't ever heard of a hoodie without a pocket I've just never seen one before see you guys in a bit here is my breakfast I just made an omelette exactly like yesterday but I just put a couple more things in it since I had like more at home since I went grocery shopping but I'm gonna eat now and this just looks so good and it's only 9 30 which is crazy so this is my little coffee of the day I actually just got these mugs and they're from Superstore I love them so much they're so cute and it was only $6 and I'm obsessed with it but I just made myself a warm coffee today because the vibes are cozy so I made a hot coffee with my homemade creamer sweetened creamer that I did and it's so good it's really hitting the spot right now but I'm just gonna sit here and enjoy this because I just did my whole morning routine and it's not even 10 o'clock yet so it feels really rewarding cheers this is giving fall cozy era right now and we love it hey guys so as I'm literally vlogging it is 2 2 2 I was just sorting out everything that I was telling you guys I was feeling overwhelmed about yesterday it feels so good to just like tackle things it's so easy to like make it up so big in your head that like there's so much to do but that's why it's so important to break things up for yourself and not think about it as this like one huge big daunting task more of like okay if I just do like an hour of this work or getting this done each day it's going to eventually get done and it's not that overwhelming when you really look at the big picture of things it's not actually like a huge deal and it's okay like there's really no need to stress about the little things that we do in life they're just easy to get caught up in that you just have to kind of take baby steps towards things every single day like when you have this huge goal it's like okay how am I gonna get from point A to point Z you don't just jump there right away you go to A you go to B you go to C like baby steps and then you're eventually gonna get to the end it's all about perspective anyways I just feel really accomplished and I feel like I've worked enough like in the garage today and just like I didn't film it because I was dealing with like paperwork that like had all my you know stuff on it so I didn't want to like vlog in case you know anything gets exposed so I just like going through papers and just a lot of that kind of stuff and bringing stuff up and down just like random stuff that I still had in the garage it just feels good to like get part of that done today and like that's just a huge weight lift it off my shoulders but anyways me and Joel are just gonna go out on a walk right now because it's not raining anymore it's just nice to get like some nice fresh air every day I was gonna like get ready to do my makeup today but I decided not to just because I'm literally we're just home today and we were gonna go out today but we decided to do it tomorrow instead so today is just kind of like a get work done at home type of day yeah so we're gonna walk in the garage I found this mirror that used to be my vanity mirror and I put it up against this console let me know how you guys like it the only thing is is there's like a light switch behind it so that's not very practical I think it looks good but I don't know I was originally gonna get like a squiggle mirror or like something just like more sleek but let me know how you like it because it does match the tone of the wood perfectly so I need some help I'm making these milk pulp cookies so the pulp that you save that I told you guys this in the bag and stuff for making the milk this is it and what you do is you just mush two bananas and you put them in a bowl and they should be like pretty ripe like if you're making banana bread and then you put one cup of your almond pulp then I'm gonna add a third cup of maple syrup and then some pecans and just mix it together so here is the batter all done you can add chocolate chips as well but since I'm avoiding all of that I just put in pecans and now I'm just gonna take this ice cream scooper and then scoop them onto the tray then bake them at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes they just take longer because it's they're more like you know thick but I'm just gonna spread out the cookies right now here's what they look like I ended up taking a fork and like smashing them down just because they don't really do that naturally so if you make these don't forget to do that and you just kind of do it like you with like a peanut butter cookie but now they're ready to go in the oven they're only three ingredients and they're just so good they taste really healthy but they're honestly really good so 10 out of 10 would recommend but I'm just gonna bake these and then I'll show you guys after they're done here's how they turn out you want to bake them until they're kind of like crispy on the outside a little bit gonna let these cool and I ended up cooking them for about 45 minutes just because I didn't like pretty thick but anyways they're so good to try them out if you guys make homemade milk but yeah gonna enjoy these now while watching Love Island Love Island is just like the best show for me to unwind to and I just I'm obsessed with it it's just like one of those shows where you can like easily put on and watch in the background too so that's why I love it but get on Love Island if you're not on it already I'm watching season 7 because I'm kind of just going backwards when the new season comes out season 10 on hey you I'm definitely gonna watch it subscription is only like $7 a month so it's really worth it for me okay guys so this morning I'm just on my carpet here and I'm just gonna do a stretching routine I'm gonna do 20 minutes of stretching and I'm just gonna watch like a YouTube video while I do it but no workout class today just gonna stretch it out because I needed a bit of a break let's get stretching here is my breakfast today I decided to switch it up a bit so I did two eggs sunny side up with avocado and then grass with sausage and then I just have the sriracha just in case I want some hot sauce but so excited to eat this so I just got ready because me and Joel are just gonna go around a couple of errands I'm just wearing these sweatpants that I thrifted and then just a black tube top and we're just gonna go to shoppers and then we need to get like a bean coffee grinder thing so we're gonna look around for that and I just need to get like a couple makeup things so we're gonna do a little brows and get out of the house yeah it's kind of like awkward weather where it's gloomy and sunny but it stopped that hot so I feel like this is like a really good in between combo I'm gonna bring you guys along this is like literally my epitome of happiness is doing little cute girly errands like this so okay guys so this is what I got when I was out they didn't have any makeup brushes that I wanted so I'm just gonna probably order them off Amazon but this is the first product that I got and it's really it's like a cream but it reduces redness and I saw a tiktok video and it convinced me to buy it because of my Xima and it's not makeup or anything but I'm excited to use this like if I ever am having a flair and I want to cover the redness and I have to go out I feel like this is so much better than putting makeup on it so just to have this would be amazing and I'm gonna try it tomorrow to see if I like it this is what it is called and apparently it's even better than the Dr. Jard Sysapair cream or Sikapair cream I don't know how to pronounce it but I will let you guys know how I like this and I'll keep you updated and then this is the brow pencil that I use it's just from elf and I love the ultra precise one I used to use like just their normal one but this one is just a lot better and yeah this is my little shoppers haul right now I'm just having a little snack I put together some vegetables and some dip this is my favorite dip that I use it's by primal kitchen and it's made with avocado oil and there's no dairy in here so I really like this ranch and it just has like pretty much clean ingredients I don't really get too hungry around lunchtime but I do like having a little snack so I feel like it's the perfect time to get my veggies in we're at Sea of Warehouse sale 2023 you turn on the camera and then everyone's like what big girls what can you say? just girly things we're not spending any money not no we're just spending we're spending free money we're just browsing today we're spending girl money yeah girl money because we're a little good to buy you know we're just we've got all the things already so we're just gonna yeah kids look at you meeting your dad when we're younger meeting your dad when we're younger ready? girl dinner let's go back from the Eritrea warehouse sale but I have a story a story to tell you right now so you better get your popcorn okay get comfortable and listen like this is some crazy shit so we are at the Eritrea warehouse sale downtown Vancouver we rarely go downtown Vancouver anyways besides the point Drake had a concert yesterday and the day before that so he was here for two days going downtown to the Eritrea warehouse sale we didn't even think of him because obviously you think that the day after his concert he'd already be gone so it was me, Madison my sister and then Talia and Mary that went all together it was funny because when we were walking there was like eight blacked out cars and I liked this restaurant and Mary was just like oh haha I wonder if Drake is still here like maybe he slept in this morning and he's gonna leave later but it was just like a joke so we're at the Eritrea warehouse sale and we left and then Mary gets a snapchat on her phone of her friend telling her that Drake is at Cactus Club and apparently he's like there but they've blocked off the whole section for him and the Cactus Club is right in front of the Eritrea warehouse sale so we're like okay like we're hungry we're gonna go out to eat anyways so let's go to the Cactus Club that would be cool if we just like even saw him walk by like that's fun like let's do it like that's fun why not so we go to the Cactus Club and we ended up getting seated like on the patio like literally on the opposite side where they blocked off the restaurant for him so we're like whatever it'd be cool to see him walk out but like we're hungry we're just sitting there and then Madison and Mary they get up to go to the washroom it was all chill and then Talia's like oh I have to go pee and I was like yeah me too but I was like hey wait let's order first order like dinner first and then look okay like let's go to the bathroom I gotta go pee so we went to the bathroom and the bathroom was like down this like alley way like stairs kind of like a basement 5 bathroom so we go to the bathroom and we exit the bathroom and there's like an elevator kind of like near the hallway where the bathroom is that goes probably down to the kitchen like through the back door and we're walking out of the bathroom and I look up and below and behold Drake is right there he's right in front of me guys like Drake himself like Drake right there okay me him me Talia Drake and then there was like these two guys beside him with like hoodies but anyways I'm pretty sure they were famous too not sure exactly who they were unidentified so it's me Talia Drake I literally just like look up at him and I'm like in my head I'm like holy fuck that's Drake like that is Drake right there and guess who looks at me back Drake looks at me and he makes eye contact with me so as we're walking by I don't know what to do because in my head I'm like I'm frozen but then I'm like do I say hi like I had my vlog camera with me I had my phone but I'm like obviously I'm not gonna do that like that is just too intimate right now this is a moment that a camera should not be taken out because I'm not trying to violate your privacy right now so I'm walking this eye contact with him yeah Drake's over right there me right here Drake is over right there right across from me I'm literally right here and I'm just like looking at him and like I don't know honestly at that point what my facial expression was like just trying to keep it cool but I like smile at him because I'm like I don't know what else to do right now so instead of saying hi or anything I just smile at him and he smiles back he locked eye contact with me for like 8 seconds as we were walking by him it was a good 8 second eye contact session with Drake he was probably thinking like oh god this girl's gonna go crazy on me but I didn't okay I did not go crazy because I've never met like a celebrity in real life before like even come across one and so I have never like actually experienced that before and I in my head like I don't even think of celebrities as like I don't like really fangirl over them in my head because I know that they're just like real people at the end of the day but at the same time like societies built up this whole thing where celebrities are like you know up here but like I also think of myself as up here and like you should too because like when you're confident and stuff you think of yourself kind of appear too so in my head it's like celebrities aren't like you know that worth fangirling over to me but obviously you have this your celebrities that you like really like right and you whether it's like an artist or whatever it is you have those people that you really like and so I never like saw myself as like fangirling ever but like that was just like the first time I've been in a situation where I was like holy shit and like I did freak out after the fact like after me and Talia walked away because we were walking eye contact walking by and then I just like we just smiled and then I walked away and that was it that was our interaction didn't say hi nothing I kind of went crazy after the fact like I was like oh my god like we literally just us too we walked past it like just us and it was like in a hallway like whoa because he was definitely like leaving to go to exit through the kitchen through the back door so we didn't have to like go through everybody in the restaurant because I'm pretty sure Ward was getting out the day he was there so there was like a lot of people crowded in the front we weren't sure like it was because of him or what but you guys that happened today and that's just like so crazy and weird enough like me and Talia both spent the exact same amount of money at the emergency warehouse sale I was like oh like how much did you end up spending she's like 184 and I'm like I look at my receipt and I'm like I spent 184 too like we it was just weird we both saw him there and we both spent the same amount of money I don't know the universe does not lie guys the universe does not lie and it's all about like kind of like not having any resistance to your manifestation because we like didn't really care that much when we got there if we saw him or not we were just like chilling we just were hungry and like we just ended up seeing him like the fact that us going to the washroom lined up to the time where he was leaving and like that happened is like insane but it's just like pretty cool because who can say that they've been within like a meter of Drake before so I have but yeah anyways there's no there's no proof there's no evidence there's no photos there's nothing like I can't show you this moment because I didn't pull out anything because I always see those videos of like people like pulling out their phone when they see a celebrity like you shove your phone in their face and like I don't know I just like kind of always felt cringed out about that and obviously like that could be people's innate reaction like it's fine but I just like in that setting you guys I could not do that like that was like an intimate setting where we were just like alone there so like that was not a place to pull out my phone and Talia was on the same vibe as me like we both just walked by and yeah he's probably like after we left like those girls definitely knew who I was and were trying to play cool like he knew what we were doing for sure because like who doesn't know who Drake is especially like at our age so yeah that is my story time this could be it's funny because this could be like complete bullshit I could be making this up because there's no evidence like usually people when they say oh yeah I saw Drake they have like videos and photos or something but it would have been really cool if like we asked for a photo but at the same time there's a time and a place like I just feel like that wasn't the time even though it would have been the perfect spot for a photo because there was nobody there like part of me regrets but another part of me is like no like you played it cool you didn't ask for a photo like you just walked by him and like you made eye contact with Drake and that's like fine but it would have been cool to have a photo like are you kidding that would have been a cool photo but anyways just thought I'd share because who gets to say that every day and cute cool fun fab story time but anyways I guess I'll show you guys a haul now because we did have a pretty successful Oritia shop and like I said I spent $184 more than last year I spent like $400 something because I bought two superpups so that's why it was so expensive but I did get a good load of literally all work out clothes like I went in there manifesting to get work out clothes and that is exactly what I got I didn't even get anything that's not work out because I just didn't literally didn't find anything let's show you guys a haul I'm still so shaken up like I don't even know if I'll be able to sleep tonight to be honest and I'm gonna book a 7 am work class tomorrow so I better get my ass to bed after this but yeah it's $819 right now let me show you guys what I got okay so the first pair of leggings that I got are these pink butter leggings how cute are they and I manifested a pair of pink leggings when I went in I swear because I just have been wanting pink leggings just because I don't have any but I'm obsessed and the butter material is the best and they're just so cute and these ended up being $30 originally I'm pretty sure they're 60 but good sale so these are the next leggings that I got in person they're like a very very kind of pale pink obviously not as pink as those but I think they look pretty white on the camera but in person they're very pale pink and these are the butter ones as well which is the best material that you can get from ritzia and I don't know why but these were only $10 so I'll call it a steal if I do say so myself and these are just the softest, comfiest leggings ever so I got another pair of other leggings and these ones are in like a brown shade which is really nice and neutral especially for the fall and these were only $10 as well which was super surprising and their butter material I just got so much athletic wear guys and then last leggings that I got these are just cream they're not actually like white because I did pick up a white pair and you can really tell the difference between these and the white pair I don't think I'd ever get white leggings but in person you can tell they're more of like a cream and these are the same butter ones $10 so soft but yeah so these are all the leggings that I got and then I got this jumpsuit in the butter material this is like an olive green color this is the back and it's just like a long legging jumpsuit and it's so cute this would be so cute to wear like in the fall to a workout with just like a jacket on top and it's one of their like divinity rompers I think they're called but it's like the butter material and it goes all the way down so it's like leggings and I'm obsessed with it I love the color so then I got this sports bra it was only $15 just a white kind of cream actually it matches this super versatile and I'm so happy that I found this because I've been wanting a butter like white sports bra this is a really good finds and then I also got this sports bra which is kind of different in Roosh and I really like it I think it's so cute and how much should I get this one for this one for $15 as well and then I got this top it's called the cinch seamless but material is super soft and it kind of feels like you could wear this like to like over a workout like with leggings or something because the material is very I don't know how to describe it but I don't know if you can tell from this but it feels like a top that you can like wear with leggings and go for a walk in like kind of athletic wear but not and this was only $10 but it's just a nice plain white long sleeve and then lastly the only thing that is not athletic wear actually I forgot that I got this it's just this body suit this black plain body suit it's a little bit dirty but nothing washing it cannot fix and it's just like super simple and plain kind of gives me skin vibes I just don't have like a plain body suit so I feel like this can be super versatile when going out and like dressing up so I thought why not it was only $15 and my size Talia actually found this and then she didn't want it so I'm like you know what I'm gonna take it but yeah so that's all that I got from the warehouse so and I can't believe I got all this for $184 like are you getting me such good prices morning you guys I just got to my workout class about to go in I just got these sunglasses in the mail they're from Amazon I don't know if they're too small for me but these are really in right now and I really think they're cute but I don't know if they're too small like the frames like if they need to be a little bit bigger let me know how you like them but my kilometers on my car when I stopped was too due to of course it was though like that's just the universe showing me that I'm in alignment but like I just love when that should happen it's like you always have to be so aware of the signs that you get because the universe is always they're showing you signs and they're not gonna like blast it in your face so it's gonna be like a little bit subtle so always pay attention to that because it's really cool when you when you're in alignment and you get all of these signs and you're like shit like this is like magic like it feels so magical but anyways I'm gonna go into my workout class now it is a bar workout class at oxygenated fitness so it's gonna be like a weighted one and I'm really excited to get my sweat on since I didn't go Wednesday Thursday so I'm gonna aim to go like three times a week Monday Wednesday Friday would be perfect and then stretch on my days off and I want to like over you know stretch myself because after those two days that I went earlier this week I was like so dead so let's go workout babies let's go this deodorant you guys if you're looking for a natural good deodorant this is the best natural deodorant I have ever used it's by the brand Schmitz and I got it at shoppers drug mart so you can probably get it like anywhere like that locally this scent is the best they also have lavender but this one just smells so fresh and I'm not kidding when I say I never smell bad because of this and it's so good this spray one I like it better just because this stick leaves like white marks on black clothes all the time but this one you guys does not leave any streaks or anything and it's so amazing so this is my little deodorant recommendation I've been wearing this every day and Joel has been stealing it from me too he's like oh my god this deodorant is so good and because he's tried other natural ones that are not as good but I'm putting you on this right now because it's amazing okay so I'm just making breakfast right now but I'm doing yams and just regular yellow potatoes because I didn't have enough yams but I just flavored them with olive oil salt paprika and garlic powder and I'm just gonna pop them in the air fryer for about like 30 minutes I'm gonna do 15 and 15 and just like shake them up around like 350 degrees so excited to have this I'm gonna put two poached eggs on top and it's gonna be so good hey guys so I'm just getting ready for bed all day today I was sat on my computer editing and for some reason my laptop has been glitching so it was just like really frustrating and it's been taking me way longer than it should to edit this video but nevertheless I was editing all day so that's why I had nothing to vlog and then me and Joel just started watching the ultimatum tonight so that's about it and right now it's only 10 o'clock and we are heading to bed because we've been on like such an early schedule that our bodies are so adjusted and they're so tired so we're heading to bed now and I'm just gonna brush my teeth I really hope that you guys enjoyed this video because I'm trying something new here with the long vlogs and I just feel like my other videos they weren't like genuinely me every video that I did and do they just had themes to them and they weren't just like authentically like me like just like my day to day life it was just like a themed video which is good I feel like but at the same time like I was just missing that aspect of like showing you guys of my daily life without any planning involved for what the video title is gonna be what I'm gonna do and I feel like it's just so much more authentic and right now like authenticity is very in but short form content is very in as well I know long form content is like not as in right now but I'm gonna give the people what they're not asking for because in my brain like I always do the opposite of what everybody else is doing and that's just like always what I've done is I literally just always go against the grain so that's what I'm doing here with this long vlog I'm going against the grain I'm posting what I want and we'll see how it does we'll see how it goes but let me know how you like this long ass vlog because if you're still here listening to me right now like you're a real one and like thank you so much this is like I guess really stepping out of my comfort zone for me in a way because I don't think I've ever posted a vlog this long before and it's just like literally my life like I took you guys along the week like there was no bullshit like I didn't add anything for this video like it was just me authentically being myself going through my day to day stuff and I hope you guys liked it so let me know feedback please in the comments if you want to see more of these if you prefer themed videos like I just want to know your guys' opinions because obviously you're subscribed and watched clicked on this video of me for a reason so it would be really nice to know your opinions and it's like you don't have to watch an hour long vlog either you can like watch a bit of it every day until you get to the end like I feel like it's just kind of like cool like no youtubers that I know really post like vlogs that are an hour long so I was like you know what like why not just like show everything and you know I'll let you guys a bit more into my life and just be more intimate with the camera so you can like watch just like a movie you can do it all in one sitting yeah at the end of the day I just always follow my gut and this is what my gut has been telling me is like just be authentic with the camera and you know make the video as long as you want because who cares what's on trend and what's not like I don't want to give a shit about that anymore and I just want to do me and post what I want and that's it at the end of the day so but anyway so I hope you guys enjoyed this video and I will see you next Sunday


My name is Andrea with Foodimentary Adventures in Food.  On our channel, you'll find simple and tasty dinners using everyday ingredients. Hey guys, so it is super hot in Dallas this week, so I will not be turning on the oven for any reason at all. I'm going to be using up stuff from my freezer in Pantry this week, making, you know, grilling meat or using the stove top but not turning on the oven. As you can see today, it is 108 and then for the rest of the week, you got 109, 109, 109, 102, so it's very, very hot. But I am going to make this orange chicken. It has been in my freezer for a while. It is from H.E.B., which is a grocery store here in Texas, and then I am going to be making this Korean fried rice that Howard and I really like a lot. It does come with peas and carrots, so I always take those out before I make it, and you can either make these. Let's see, this fried rice in the microwave or the pan, and I always pan fried. It tastes much better to me that way. All right, so I'll be back once I put everything together. Okay, so here's our dinner. I made the orange chicken and the air fryer, and of course, as I mentioned, I stir-fried that rice, and then we had some leftover green beans in the fridge. So this is what we are having for dinner tonight, and we will see y'all next time. So for dinner tonight, Howard grilled out some short ribs. It is 107 degrees as I speak. So I went to Fiesta, which is a Latin American grocery store here in Texas. I think it's only in Texas. And in their meat department, they had these marinated short ribs, and I wasn't sure what the marinade was, but we just tasted it, and it's like a fajita seasoning, so it's really good. And with it, I decided to make some black beans and rice. So this is what we are having for dinner tonight, and we will see y'all next time. So I am trying out a new recipe for dinner tonight.  Of course, I'll put the recipe in the description box. So in my crock pot, I have almost a pound and a half of chicken thighs. The original recipe calls for chicken breasts, but I prefer cooking with thighs. And then next, and I've salt and peppered it. Next, I'm getting ready to add some pesto mix, and the brand is called Maya, Maya Camus, I think. So it calls for jarred pesto, but I'm using what I have. And so I made two packages of that pesto, which is the equivalent of the jarred sauce that they were asking for. And I'm just pouring the pesto over.  Howard's not a huge lemon juice span. So I'm not using as much as it calls for. Get those seeds out of there. And next, it asks you to lay some salted butter pats on top of everything. All right. So next it calls for you to cover the crock pot and to let this cook for about five or six hours. I honestly don't see it needing to go for that long, but I will bring you back for next steps. Okay, so it's been about four and a half hours, and I have already shredded up my chicken thighs. And as you can see, got them in here. There seems like a lot of liquid. So I'm not sure I'm a little bit nervous about that. But now it says to add in some grated Parmesan cheese. And it specified the stuff in the green bottle or green jar. So adding that in, giving it a stir. And then the recipe calls for one pound of cooked pasta. I'm actually using half a pound. So I cooked two cups of dry noodles and drain them. Did not rinse them. I just added them in. And I'm just going to give these a good stir.  So I didn't want to do a pound of pasta because it's really just Howard and I eating it. And a pound would have been a lot. So I usually do a half a pound of pasta. And as you can see, it's fine with this amount of liquid. And then the next thing it says to do is to top it with some shredded mozzarella cheese. I'm just going to sprinkle it on top. And then it says to cover this for 15 minutes to let that cheese melt. Okay, so here is dinner. And it is very good, very tasty. You can see a little bit of oil, butter, I'm not sure what it is, it kind of puddled at the bottom of the plate. But it doesn't taste really oily, has a really good flavor. I would definitely make it again, serving it with a side salad and breadsticks. So these are the breadsticks that I'm using from HED. And then we're going to be using this Olive Garden salad dressing. And then let me show you the rest of it in the crock pot. Like I said, just a little bit of oil, not very much. And I only used, as I mentioned before, a half a pound of pasta. And it seems like there's just enough liquid. So if you use a whole pound, I feel like it might be dry. I'm not sure, of course, but it seems like it would be. But anyway, this was really quick and easy and very tasty. So we will see you all next time. So for dinner tonight, I made wonton soup. I have made this before on our channel. I'll make sure to link that video in the description box so you can check it out. But I love making this soup really easy to make. That is Harrison in the background, just giving you a quick overview of what I used. I drained this can of mushrooms. I used a package of the Eight Flower Hot and Sour Soup Mix. And I have found this at Walmart. I found it at Winco, Asian grocery stores. I had a few of these mini wontons in the freezer I wanted to use. And then I just bought this chili sesame oil on a recent Trader Joe's haul. I'll link that in the box. And I added that and it adds a nice little kick of chili. And it's really good. And the sesame oil of course. I opened the lid and I don't know if you all can see it, but it says Mikasa. So that's who manufactured this. But of course it's Trader Joe's brand. But anyway, this is what we are having for dinner tonight. And we will see y'all next time. So for dinner tonight, we are having Popeyes. We had a new location that opened down the street from us. So we decided to run through the drive-thru. We got the two can dine for $11.99 I think. I know it used to be like $9.99 years ago. But you get five pieces of chicken. So we got two thighs, two legs and a breast. You get two biscuits and you get two sides. We got red beans and rice. And then we got macaroni and cheese. There is an upcharge for mac and cheese. But anyway, this is what we are having for dinner tonight. And we will see y'all next time.


Russia closes in on Central Bakhmut and threatens Ukraine's supply line. Russia is thought to have advanced into the center of Bakhmut, according to British defence officials, as the months-long battle in the eastern Ukrainian city reaches a critical moment. Russian forces have seized the west bank of the Bakhmutka River, endangering a key Ukraine supply route. The Ministry of Defence said, After a slow advance since late March, Russian forces have regained some momentum in recent days in the battle for Bakhmut, the Ministry of Defence added. Russia has made further gains and has now highly likely advanced into the town centre. The Ministry of Defence said in its latest Defence Intelligence update, Ukraine's key 0506 supply route to the west of the town is likely severely threatened. The 0506 road that snakes through the village of Koromovey, northwest of Bakhmut is cut off, then it will leave only the T0504, branded by Ukrainian troops as the Highway of Life that connects to Bakhmut's southwestern edge, as the only main supply route for Kiev's forces. Russia's regular army, including airborne troops, has probably reinforced the area, and Russia is again using artillery more effectively in the sector. The Ministry said, adding that there was a realistic possibility that the leadership from Russian private mercenary company, the Wagner Group, and Russian military commanders had halted an ongoing feud and had managed to improve cooperation. The Ukrainian side said that Bakhmut's Defence is continuing.


So we're here at the embedded world right here with the Wolf SSL. Hi. Hi. My name is Chris Conlon I'm an engineering manager Wolf SSL and who are you? Hi, I'm Daniela camera. I'm a software technologist soft Wolf SSL and So what does Wolf SSL do? Sure. So Wolf SSL is an open-source internet security company So we implement focus mainly on SL and TLS and cryptography We've got today. We have some some cool things to share about our support with ST micro Both at the hardware crypto level and a new product we have called Wolf Boot So what do you call it the wolf boot? Wolf boot. What is that? It's a secure bootloader So Daniel will have a I'll let it Daniel introduce it a little bit more detail in a few minutes So it's right here. You have a presentation about it. Yeah, that's correct So this is just going to highlight our support for ST micro.  We have a cryptography library We have an MQTT client SSH server a TPM library and a new secure bootloader So these are all things that are dual licensed open source under GPL version two they're very lightweight very portable and Cross-platform as well, but we have some good support for especially the hardware-based cryptography on ST micro platform hardware-based cryptography so you are into the Most advanced security, right? That's right. Yep. Yeah, we try to stay as progressive as we can It has to be hardware-based for to be good. Yeah, we do have a software implementation For the platforms that don't offer hardware cryptography, but when it's there it gives you performance advantages and code size reductions And what do you talk about here? Yes, this is just showing our products can take advantage of Harder-based crypto available on the STM32 platform the L4, the F2, F4, F7 Either through the standard peripheral library or through the STM32 QBemax Hall layer. Yeah We also have support through the STSafe STK for the STSafe A100 and then In complementing these we have a TPM library that can use the ST33 module for storing your keys securely in the in the secure enclave And accelerating crypto operations as well. The ST33 is what part? What does that do? Yes, so it's a TPM module So it allows you to generate and securely keep keys in a hardware or protected hardware area Are you also a part of the whole the arm cortex M33 environment? Where is Where is hardware security also? Yes, so that's up and coming and we're definitely gonna be working with that All right So here just a couple things here you can find more details of these on our website But you know we can show off pretty well the difference in performance between software cryptography and hardware cryptography So this one's on an STM32 F2 You can see here's the software cryptos in orange and the hardware cryptos in green. This is throughput But what is the hardware piece that does it? It's a specialized crypto module that ST is built into these STM32 devices So they have a they already have hardware securities for a long time ST Yeah for several years now several years. Yep, exactly. So it is not necessarily to get into the arm V8M to the Right to the next gen. That's just bringing something another class of stuff, right? Yeah, V8 has a complete separate set of assembly optimizations for crypto Yep, so let's see. We've just got you know some more benchmarks to show off. This is with the ST safe Accelerating ECC operations And these are just here for reference You know in general you're gonna see much better performance on embedded platforms Which especially on these lower power devices is really beneficial, especially when you're doing TLS. It has a handshake in it You know if you can reduce the time that your client takes to connect to the server It can be very beneficial for user experience Nice So if it's royalty-free if it's open source and how do you make money? Yeah, what's the business model? So we do a license so we have two licenses for the same code base We have a GPL version to license and a commercial version as well And the commercial version who's a customer for that for example? Yeah, so if you if you link and distribute against GPL code, it's an infectious license that makes the entire bundle Need to be open source So on you know to help with that limitation we offer a commercial license which strips out all the GPL from the code base and You a big company or how many people are you in the company? I mean we're 30 people in total we're headquartered in Edmunds, Washington, United States We have a development office in Bozeman, but we're also spread out near Seattle or where is that? Yeah, yep right near Seattle You don't want to just have a lot of IOT devices that have no updates and stuff. Absolutely. It's I think that for for a long while the embedded Market hasn't focused enough on security and safety. We've been developing security solutions for embedded since 2004 and And it's kind of We're happy that if we finally getting the attention that we need from the market because of course Billions of devices connected to the internet. It's the new challenges to stay Up to speed with the security that in the same way that happens in normal IT infrastructure The metal market is not different
