Roma Wines. Those excellent California wines that can add so much pleasantness to the way you live. To your happiness in entertaining guests. To your enjoyment of everyday meals. Yes, right now, a glass full would be very pleasant, as Roma Wines bring you Hume Cronin in a remarkable tale of... Suspense. Today began just like any other day. Got to bed early last night because I had to go over the accounts with Mr. Bevan's. And when you go over the accounts with old Hawkshaw, you've got to be in tip-top shape. Well, I dressed myself rather carefully this morning. I put on the necktie with the little flowers on it. The blue and red one. Jane said she liked it. Told me it matched my eyes. Made them look bluer. Well, I went down to breakfast. My wife, Laura, was having her coffee. Good morning, Oliver. Morning, dear. I'll have to warm your coffee. Here's the paper. Oh, thanks. Oliver, must you wear that tie? Hmm? That frightful necktie. It's not at all becoming. Well, it matches my suit. It's a perfectly dreadful shade.  Well, I like it. Well, I don't. And I wish you wouldn't wear it. Oliver, aren't you listening to me? Oh, sure, sure. I was reading. Oh. Well, don't let my conversation disturb you. That's all right. Oliver. What's wrong now? Oliver, I don't know what's gotten into you lately. You forget things. You scarcely seem to hear a word I say. Aren't you feeling well? I feel fine. Why shouldn't I? Well, you look a bit drawn. I believe I'd better make an appointment for you with Dr. Thacker. Look, Laura, there's nothing the matter with me. I better get going now. I'll be late. Well, you haven't finished your breakfast. That's all I want. I'm not very hungry. Where's my briefcase? On the hall table. Oliver, are you sure you're not ill? You look positively hollow-eyed. I never felt better in my life. Well... See you tonight, dear. Goodbye. Oliver. Yes? I hope you'll all... ...or nothing. Goodbye. Laura was like that. A chronic warrior. She seemed to take delight in fretting about things that wouldn't even occur to the average person. Imagine me not feeling well.  There on the trellis was my prize rose bush. Climbing talisman, they call it. Suddenly, I was thinking of Jane. Perhaps if I put a rosebud in my buttonhole, Jane would notice. She'd say something about how the scent matched her perfume, and then maybe we'd talk about roses. And I could impress her. Because I know quite a lot about roses. I was just about to pick one of the buds. Well, well, good morning, Mr. Duffield. Good morning. A two-letters-for-a-day. Oh, good morning, Mr. Crowley. Oh, yes.  Well, no. I was just sort of looking garden over. Oh, well, it's a mighty fine garden you've got there, Mr. Littlefield. You work pretty hard on it, too, I suppose. Yes, I've given it a fair share of my time. Yes, a little too much, maybe. I beg your pardon? Well, it pays to be on the safe side, Mr. Littlefield. Now, of course, of course, this ain't none of my business, but it seems to me, well, you're getting to look a little peeked there, man. You better go easy. Yeah. Well, good morning, Mr. Crowley. Yeah, good morning to you. I've got to get going anyway. It was the second time I'd heard it, and the day was hardly more than an hour old. First Laura, now the postman. I felt all right. I felt swell. I thought of the rosebud again. I bent down, snipped off a bud from the bush. I had to take the red cross-pin out of my lapel to get the rose in, but I didn't mind taking the time. After all, one minute more or less never harmed anyone. I didn't know, then, how precious a minute can be. Glanced at my watch, 823. Had to run part of the way to the station. I arrived out of breath, panting, perspiring a bit, but I made it. Steve and Joe helped me aboard. Hey, Oliver, you ought to get it early this start in the morning. Well, I was delayed at the house. Listen to old Olly Weez. And you're the guy who used to be drag scarter in high school. Where's the old wind, Olly? Oh, I'm all right. Just a second now. Oh, seriously, Oliver, it's dangerous business for a man of your age to be running around that way. You're out of my age. Listen to him. You should think I was 80. Say, you know what you need? Maxadrine. Pepe up. Make you feel like a million. I tell you, there's nothing wrong with me. I got two or three here with me. A little box from a pocket somewhere. Ah, here we are. Let me make you a little present. Non-habit-forming, you know? Maxadrine? What do I want with Maxadrine? You keep it in your pocket. Take a half of one with some water when you get a little, let's sagged-out feeling, you know? Pepe up like a million. Make him a new man out of you. Getting to be just like a club. You do to get membership with Smile at Me and say, Mr. Littlefield, you look sick. Mr. Littlefield, you look peaking. Mr. Littlefield, why don't you just find a nice, quiet corner and go and curl up and die, Mr. Littlefield? It was nine o'clock when I got to the office. I noticed a lumpy feeling in my solar plexus. Right here. Little to the left of my heart. It was just indigestion, of course. I got my accounts together and went into Mr. Bevan's outer office. There was Jane at her desk. She looked lovely this morning. Sunlight coming through the Venetian blind seemed to blend with her blonde hair. All at once, I wondered why I'd ever married Laura. Sunlight never did anything for her hair. Jane was busy and she didn't see me come in. I coughed, lightly. Oh, Mr. Littlefield, good morning. Good morning, Jane. I heard you cough. Do you have a cold? No. No, I haven't a cold. I never felt better in my life. I'm sorry, Mr. Littlefield. Forgive me. I didn't mean to snap at you. I'm afraid I'm a little jumpy this morning. Well, I can understand you're being jumpy. Mr. Bevan's can certainly be an old bear if he finds a mistake in the book. He's certainly can. But I wouldn't, I wouldn't worry. You're well dressed for the occasion that Rose and your lapel should appeal to his more pleasant side. That is, if he has a pleasant side. I just happened to notice the bud in one of the bushes in the garden this morning. I don't know why I wore it. It looks very nice. Thank you. It's a climbing talisman. Do you know anything about roses? No, no, I'm afraid not. They're my favorite flower, though. I grow them as a hobby. I had some exhibited ones. Oh, my dear, you must be quite a gardener. Oh, no, no, not really. You see, there isn't a lot to growing roses. You just have to watch your soil carefully. Irrigate, of course. And roses take a good deal of spraying, too. Oh, yes, I see. And let me tell you, if you intend to exhibit your flowers there mustn't be any evidence of insect damage. You see, a rose is judged first by its form and color, then substance, then... Excuse me, Mr. Littlefield. Yes, sir. Have you seen Littlefield? Why, yes, sir. I'll buy him a name. Heaven has to come in here. Doesn't he know he has a nine o'clock appointment with me? Mr. Bevins, Mr. Littlefield has been waiting for you in the outer office. You didn't call, sir. Is it necessary for me to call my employees after I've made a specific appointment? I'm sorry, Mr. Bevins. I'm sure that Mr. Littlefield...  Have him come right in here. Yes, sir. Oh, Mr. Littlefield, I'm... It's all right, Jane. It's all right. I'll go right in. I walked to the door. I could feel that lump inside of me getting bigger, almost choking. What right did Bevins have to say such things about me?  I reached for the door handle and turned it. Well, well, Littlefield, what are you standing there for? Come in. Come in. Sit down. Littlefield, I believe you're aware of my sentiments regarding punctuality. I expect my employees to be on time. In fact, I demand that they do. Well, you see, Mr. Bevins, I... Never mind. We'll discuss the matter at later date. Right now, I want to see the vouchers. Last month's. Yes, sir. Right here. Littlefield, these are the Mae vouchers. Oh, so they are. Sorry, Mr. Bevins. Here. Hmm. Let me see the audit on these. Yes, sir. Not the sales slips, Littlefield. The audit.  What? The portion that think you are completely addled. Addled? Well, I'm not addled. And I'm not a fool, either. You had no right to call me that.  Littlefield, I think you must be ill. I'm not ill. Don't say I'm ill because I never felt better in my life. All that's wrong with me, Mr. Bevins, is that... I'm mad. Yes, that's the word for it. I think you are mad. Completely mad. No, that's not what I mean, either, Mr. Bevins.  I've got 17 years worth of tempers stored up right here, and I'm warning you, Mr. Bevins. I'd like to tell you just what I think of you. Get out of this office, Littlefield. If there's one thing I will not tolerate, it's insubordination. All right, Mr. Bevins, all right. So I'm insubordinate. And it may surprise you to know that I wanted to be insubordinate for 17 long years. See here, young man. 17 years I've worked for you, and what thanks have I had for it? Two dollar raises and listening to you about... Littlefield, get out! You're fired. I know, sure. I'm fired. But that's all you can do to me, Mr. Bevins. All you can do is fire me. Why didn't you fire me a long time ago? So there I was, out of a job. What was the next step? Couldn't go home in the middle of the day? I could, but you don't know Laura. I'd never been able to explain it to her. She wouldn't have understood. She never understood anything. With her, it was payday, the bridge club, and you had freester. Everything's suburban, everything in a rut, always in a rut! I went back and sat in my office to think. Then I got out and went to the watercolour. I pulled my handkerchief out to wipe my hands, and something fell out of my pocket. It was that little pillbox. I opened it. There were three-and-a-half of those Maxidrenes in it. I swallowed them all. And I sat down, and a little later, I began to feel clear in my mind. My life was this awful, deadly grind because I was married to Laura. She was the cause of all my unhappiness, the cause of my failure, the reason for my losing my job. Something would have to be done about Laura. Why not eliminate the cause? That was it. Eliminate the cause, and you have the situation lit. Suddenly my mind was made up.  In the acts of suspense, this is Ken Niles for Roma Wines.

And now Roma wines bring back to our Hollywood soundstage Hume Cronin, who has Oliver Littlefield in blue eyes, continues a narrative well calculated to keep you in suspense. Merge is a tough proposition. It takes a lot of thought. It mustn't be messy or violent. It's got to be quick and effective. Or a guy stands a good chance of getting caught. How to do this thing? How to do it without a slipper? Suddenly I had it. Laura took some medicine every night at bedtime, two tablespoons of powder that Dr. Thacker prescribed for her in a glass of warm milk. If I were to get some poison that looked like that powder and substance... Yes, that was perfect. Miss, quick and effective. Three o'clock. I walked up the steps of the public library and went in. Yes, sir, can I help you? I'd like to see some books on... Yes. I just wanted to look something over on roses. Oh, I see. Well, that's horticulture. Section five, just across the aisle. Oh, yes, horticulture. Of course. Thank you. I took a book from the shelf, thumbed a few pages, finally decided to risk a quick glance in the direction of the librarian. See if she was still watching me. The desk was empty. She'd left it. Then I saw where she was, at the other end of the library, stacking books on a hand card. Here was my chance. I could slip across to the science alcove without her seeing me. I went to the section marked Science, Medicine. Looked in the card index file under P, Pharmacology. Pharmacology and Therapeutics by Walter A. Bastido, P, H, G, M, D. Someday I'm going to look up those initials and find out what they mean. I found the book. The index said look under hydrocyanate acid and cyanate. And there it was. Cyanate. Used as an intensifier in photographic development. Two and a half grains of this cyanate is reckoned to be a lethal dose. I could buy the stuff at a photographic supply store. Two and a half grains. Fatal. Pardon me, sir. Yes? I'd like to put these books away if I may. Oh, you're the gentleman who was looking for books on roses. Yes, yes, I was. Well, I'm afraid you're in the wrong department, sir. As I told you a moment ago, you'll find everything on roses in... Oh! Oh, that was clumsy of me. I'm terribly sorry. Oh, it's all right, my fault. I was in your way. You dropped your book here. Thank you. Well, this isn't a book on roses at all. It's pharmacology. Oh, well, what do you know about that? I must have picked up the wrong book somewhere. Yes, you must have. She stared at me as I put the book back on the shelf. I turned and walked away. I could feel her eyes following me to the door. I was conscious of that lump under my heart again. It felt heavy and hard like a rock. There was a dryness in my throat, too. I swallowed a few times to get rid of it. At 4th and Sutter, there's a photographic supply place. Good afternoon, sir. Good afternoon. I'd like some cyanate. Yes, how much do you want, sir? Oh, enough to treat some negatives with. Quite a few negatives. About two pounds? Yes, I think that'll be fine. I'll weigh it for you. What kind of camera have you been using? What? Oh, I have a brownie camera. A brownie, eh? Yeah. A lot of people are going back to them since the war. You can take good pictures of a boxed camera if you use it right. You know what they say? It's not the camera, but the man behind the camera that makes the pictures. Yes. And what size negative do you shoot with it? Negative? Well, as far as negatives go, I... I shoot in a quarter by a screen a quarter, probably, and that's what most brownies do. Yes, that's the size. I wasn't going to be able to keep this up much longer. I was bound to make a slip sooner or later. Couldn't say that I was in a hurry. He might get suspicious. A man buying poison shouldn't ever be in a hurry. Why was he taking so long? I get the old perspiration of my forehead cold and damp. The room began to look lopsided. Everything seemed to be swaying, swaying. Grip the counter with both hands. Grip it tightly. Now, smile. Here you are, sir. That'd be 57 cents. Yes. Here you are. Thank you. Hey, hey, just a minute. Hey, hey, mister, hey! I heard him shout after me, but I kept right on walking, faster. So a photographic studio was just like a drug store after all. If you bought poison, you had to sign for it. Well, I wasn't going to. No, I wasn't going to. I ducked around the corner. Hey, hey, mister, hey, hey! Hey, officer, did you see a fellow just come out of here? What for? Gray suit, blue tie, rose in his buttonhole? No. He's gone. What do you make of that? The guy gives me a 20 instead of a 1. Disappears. Well, I can do business like that all day long. I won't forget that, Gint. No, sir. I arrived home at 6.30. Laura wasn't there. The table wasn't set. Well, she was probably late shopping. I went upstairs and I found the bottle in the medicine chest. The cyanate matched the powder in the bottle perfectly. She'd never be able to tell the difference. I poured half the bottle's contents into the sink, marked with my finger the level of the medicine and then refilled the bottle with cyanate up to the mark and shook it so as to mix it thoroughly. I emptied the rest of the poison into the sink and let the water run for a minute. Now it was done. Everything accomplished and very neatly too. All I had to do now was wait. I glanced at the bedroom door. It was closed. All the doors on the second floor were closed. That's another thing. That's another thing I hated about Laura. So precise about her housekeeping. Everything in its place, even to closing the doors when a room wasn't in use. Back downstairs. I tried to light a cigarette, but my hands were beginning to shake. Nerves again. I took a book from the table by the sofa. Tried to read. Then I realized what I was reading. Funny I should have picked up that book. Memory album of Oliver and Laura Littlefield. And a dance program tied in Pink Ribbon. Homecoming dance Indiana University in 1928. First anniversary. Oliver and Laura Littlefield celebrating their first anniversary, July the 12th, 1929. They invite you to an informal tea. Suddenly I was lonesome for Laura. I missed her. Where was she? Why was she late? I wanted to hear her voice, even if she nagged me. It didn't really matter. I wanted to hear her say something. I thought back over the events of that day. I thought of my married life with Laura. It hadn't been as bad as I let myself believe. It hadn't been bad at all. Laura loved me. She did love me and I loved her.  What would I ever do without her? I leaped to my feet and I ran up the stairs to the medicine chest. I poured the cyanate down the drain, all of it. I washed out the sink with my hand to be sure that the last bit of the poison was gone. It was only then that I... that I was calm again. At last I'd come to my senses. I loved Laura now more than ever before. I thought of Laura. I thought of the necktie I was wearing, the one that she didn't like. I'd change it before dinner. I opened the door of the bed, then I saw her. Sprawled on the bed, her face distorted in pain. I went to the bed and I shook her. Laura. Laura! She didn't move. She was cold. Terribly cold. Hello? Hello, Dr. Thacker? This is Oliver Littlefield. Can you come right over, doctor? Something's happened to my wife. I think she's dead. You were right, Mr. Littlefield. She's... This glass she drank from. It's poison. Why? Why? I'm afraid, sir, it looks like suicide. Suicide? She wouldn't do a thing like that. She had no reason. She had a reason, Mr. Littlefield. Your wife was dying of an incurable disease. But that's not true, she would have told. She wanted to keep it from you. Those were her wishes. I'm sorry, Mr. Littlefield. Without saying anything more, she left the room. I sat there staring at Laura. My mind was a blank. I don't know how long it was until Dr. Thacker came back. Um, Mr. Littlefield. What is it? This bottle. That's the medicine you prescribed for my wife. I think not. Of course it is. What are you talking about? I didn't prescribe cyanate. Seems that I may be obliged to revise my diagnosis of your wife's death. I don't understand. Really, Mr. Littlefield, isn't it quite obvious? Your wife's death was caused by a lethal dosage of cyanate. Her medicine bottle was filled with cyanate. The odor is still there. Yes, but I can explain that. You see, there wasn't a bit of it left. I threw it all away. She must have bought some herself. I hardly think she'd fill her medicine bottle with poison if she intended to commit suicide. Wait a minute. Wait, please, Doctor. You've got to listen to me. I didn't do it. That's what you're thinking. I didn't do it, Doctor. Dr. Thacker, you've known me for a long time. You can take my word for it. Hello, operator. Give me the police. You see, it started with that blue tie. It made my eyes look bluer. Everybody told me I was sick. I started to feel sick. Yes, this is an emergency. Then the rosebud and Mr. Bevins and the Maxadrine. I didn't know what I was doing for a little while, Doctor. Hello, this is Dr. Thacker. Better send someone to 6931 Clairman right away. You know, people can drive you out of your mind if they keep saying the same thing to you over and over again.  You've got to listen. It was the blue tie. Laura started it. She said I was hollow-eyed. I don't know. It looks like homicide. 12 short hours. But since then, the hours have been long. Endless eternity. How long will I have to wait? How long will they file out of that room and tell me what I already know? The coroner's jury found that Laura Littlefield met her death by poisoning. It's recommended that her husband, Oliver Littlefield, be held to answer. There's no other verdict. The testimony of the librarian, the clerk at the photographic store, the doctor, powerful evidence that lies, damning evidence that... it'll send Oliver Littlefield to the electric chair. Mr. Littlefield, it's all over. I knew it. I knew what you'd find. The coroner's jury found the testimony of the librarian, the clerk, and the rest convincing. Undeniable. And, of course, the presence of the glass of poison that your wife's bedside was confusing. Undoubtedly, she had intended to commit suicide. But, of course, we know now that she didn't. When will I be arrested? That is a matter for the police if they decide to prosecute. Of course, under the circumstances... Circumstances. Circumstantial evidence. I didn't murder my wife. I didn't. I didn't. Of course not, Mr. Littlefield. The autopsy settled that. Not a single trace of poison in the body. She died as a result of her illness. No poison? No poison, and lucky for you, Mr. Littlefield. Because if she'd committed suicide, if she planned, just how would you have been able to prove your innocence, Mr. Littlefield? Just exactly how?

We're gonna see if there's any trades Then we'll have the break stick around be right back All right, welcome back everybody. No deals are done But that was one of the most incredible trade windows that I've ever seen There was a lot of wheeling dealing people offering two for one offers three teams for one offers It was crazy, but in the end just a deal couldn't be hammered out But a very spirited trade window But unfortunately no deals were done. It's all right That doesn't doesn't have to be there's illusions right there one autograph per box on average. What else are we looking for? hobby exclusive rookie retro signatures Because that's what we're looking for illuminated rookie visions and more Recall breaking too much of this group break wise on YouTube, but we'll figure it out Right. Yeah, even even Adam someone offered Charlotte to Adam cuppermen for the Pacers But Adam was like no way. I'm letting go of the Pacers not for no team It was a wild window ladies and gentlemen. You should have been there If you're watching the replay always be sure to join the live stream seven nights a week Just to see the madness that happens here at Jaspie's box number one coming at you and What do we say one or two? I think two Super Bowl squares given away in these illusion breaks So let's breeze through these Zach Levine to 99 It's the oh an all-card ship, so Zach Levine to 99 for the bulls Carl with the bulls and there's James Weissman for the Warriors Josh Smith We'll do a left-right randomizers on that And our first autograph is a one out of five subparletives auto Rick Mahorn for the Pistons Wrinkly on the penny sleeve here pop that into a slightly larger top loader Who has the pistons chat Tucker with the pistons out of fives and under Chad get the train whistle All aboard the big head express whoop-whoop Ogden to 99 For the Pacers for Adam and a one-of-one Mason Jones All right did not expect two train whistles to pop out of the first box here Sixers one-of-one Matthew Nielsen Matthew all aboard the big head express We've got a Seth Curry to 25 and our first Lamello ball first of many I hope Charlotte Brian Watford with the spot that he won got randomized the Hornets nice draw That's just the rookie vision insert Robert Woodard to 99 Thought it might have been a train whistle hot box for a second. Maybe we'll see a train whistle per box That'd be pretty nice Next box second half in the store right now jaspy's case breaks calm Pretty good odd really good odds to try to win Super Bowl squares spots if you're chasing that and just Just probably a kind of an underrated product in general It's pretty nice We've got some hoops on in the background. We've got Washington at Milwaukee Milwaukee cruising. They're up 43 26 in the Five minutes left in the half first half They are cruising. I don't think Washington's missing Bradley Beale Maybe another couple key players TNT game. I don't know what the what's the anyone know offhand with it. I'll look it up in the next box But the evening TNT the late game. Let's go. There's Darius Garland to 99 There's our first Anthony Edwards Lamar Stevens to 99 So that'll be Brian Hayes with the Minnesota Timberwolves, you know, I do have the checklist handy Adam Reggie Miller Not on the checklist at a 25 Najee Marshall for the Pelicans. That's gonna go to Matthew Another Lamello ball because all of these will add up Charlotte Brian W We'll find some parallels maybe a little ink. I think it should be bam. I think it should be Sun's net If you're watching the TNT broadcast, I don't think it would change for international markets There's a miles Turner for the Pacers six out of ten There you go. He's pretty good. Does does he get moved at the trading deadline? I feel like I've heard some things about that NBA trading deadline coming up in Soon a couple weeks maybe all right, so there you go Adam on the board with the Pacers Not a bad player either Kevin Porter, Jr. to 99 Braun James or Anthony Edwards Cole Anthony is pretty good too. So I'm in a nice season Jay Crowder 99 we'll be talking for the Knicks as well and another Anthony Edwards for Brian H. All right next box At the half pistons up on the Pelican 65 57 Bucks leading and that's the game we're watching right now Bucks leading the Wizards 48 33 heat up on the Raptors 45 34 It's your current scores for Tuesday, February 1st 2022 magic and bulls just got underway tied at seven Nuggets Timberwolves about halfway through the first quarter 1713 Warrior spurs are the only playing tonight and then yes the late TNT game is Nets Brooklyn Nets at Phoenix Suns It's Katie is Katie back. I don't know who's gonna be playing for the for the Nets. That's the late game Bradley Beall out tonight against the Against the Bucks because he's got at least gonna miss at least a week due to a ligament injury to his left wrist And we got a Gary Harris for the magic Superlatives autograph doesn't look like it's numbered. It's usually right there in the center Orlando Josh Smith with the magic Paul George 99 for the Clippers and Braun James here as well Najee Marshall in 99 There's one out of 99 Carmelo Anthony Remember we'll do those left-right randomizers at the end Paul George to 25 Tyrese Halliburton Tyrese Halliburton for the Kings Josh And the Paul George to 25 will be for Brian W All right next box of illusions basketball Random tea break number one second half in the store ladies and gentlemen check it out.  We got Gabriel with the Mavs Hmm, maybe Logan how many teams are left? Michael Porter Jr. To 10. There's another guy Michael Porter another guy that needs to Stay healthy one healthy could be really good Denver It's for Gabriel Enos Cantor to 99 Enos Cantor 25 Portland Gonna be for Nicholas I'd love to see that get a little into single digits Logan before we think about that number block Unless Nick ends up doing it in the background But I've got a few breaks lined up. So it'd be easier for me if we get that down closer single digits And I could number block that pretty quickly. All right two boxes to go Good luck everybody calling sexton to 99 Cleveland Peyton Pritchard to 99 for the Celtics They're Cole Anthony The magic another Lamello ball no parallel yet, huh? That Lamello Jeremy Grant 99 91 out of 99 Having another great season Rudy gated 25 for the Spurs first impressions Jersey and autograph Precious a chew-up and that is five out of five Nice one for Nicholas in the Miami Heat. I think the heat are playing tonight Yeah, they're up 53 46 on the Raptors 130 left in the game or in the first half precious a chew-up is Not playing But wait precious a chew-up is now on the Raptors It's a revenge game for precious. This is still heat addition after 11 minutes precious has seven points three rebounds and an assist This is still heat addition here though for Nicholas Nicholas All aboard the big-head Express There's how she murdered 99 for the Wizards James Weissman for the Warriors for Josh Is he back when he coming back? How much money does precious a chew-up make I have no idea Is he I don't think he's is he still on his rookie. I don't think he's still on his leaky deal is he? And he's on it on a second field perhaps Final box of illusions. Good luck Popping early. It's another one out of five sub-herletives Otto This feels like there's a lot of train whistles in this half one out of five Lugans dork For okay see that'll be for Tim Tim All aboard the big-head Express Cole Anthony base card other Lamello ball just base card Pocosevski to 25 Duncan Robinson to 99 You Jared culver to 99 the T wolves Moses Brown at the back there. All right Let's do a left-right randomizer here for all of those cards And we'll give away a couple Super Bowl squares spots as well So let's flip over to random org Let's get left right in here Remember as I said before We're gonna use the original list Let's roll it randomize it But for both let's five into four nine times One two three four Five six seven eight and ninth and final time after nine So the right side of those of those cards will get that and then Two Super Bowl square spots being given away illusions basketball Five into four nine times top two after nine one two Three four Five six seven Eight and good luck ninth and final time after nine Kenneth and Josh Congrats to you.

Known for its lake trout and sandy beaches, Big Trout Lake was in danger of losing its glamour and in need of a major cleaning. Last week, the $400,000 stormwater treatment project was completed. The project took nearly a year to complete and involved building massive concrete cylinders that collect water and separate the phosphorus that was present in the lake. Trout need very specific conditions to survive and the phosphorus was decreasing the oxygen levels for the fish. Water clarity had also been a concern in the lake since 1992. Most of the stormwater treatment project was funded through the legacy amendment. I think this is a great partnership project and a great example again of those land and legacy dollars going to good work. We would not have been able to do this project without those funding. That was really crucial to get this project done and so again we're grateful to all our partners and the Bob Becker family. Big Trout Lake is the only lake in Crowing County in the Crowing County area that can support trout.

You're good. You're good. I'm good. All right. Any other shout-outs, folks? Halloween is in August. I'm sorry, Andy. It is. It starts in August. It just does. If you go to any of the discount stores, Halloween spirits are all up around. Decor is all over the place in the Disney parks. They had their grand opening of the spirit, I believe, like, last month. Grand opening. Last month. Gosh, it happens earlier every year, but that gives you plenty of time to get into the spirit, into the season. Make a big project. I've already been posting projects on the blog. All of the 3D Hangout or the 3D Time Lapse videos are all Halloween. This is a Halloween company, by the way. Lamar and Phil love Halloween. Phil B, Paint Your Dragon, and Literal Dragon, who is all about Halloween. So embrace the culture and get some monies this time. So win some stuff and make some stuff. It's a make-or-holiday. You've got to get into this, folks. Yeah. Yeah. Why not? Every day is Halloween, says Cup of Cafe. Yes, it is. I hear that in the Halloween tone. Every day is Halloween. Every day is Halloween. Yeah, that's just been running on repeat in the background. I need to change up my decor here to put more Halloween stuff. Like there's a pumpkin style. Yeah, we got to get everything out of the attic and the closets. Fun stuff. All right, well with that, folks, are you ready to catch up on two weeks of projects? Here we go. Let's go ahead and start off with this week's project or last week's project. Last week's project. Let's go ahead and take a look at these awesome resin cast and key caps. Before we went off on holiday, we showed four. I even started making some of these. And this is using our really cool mold kit that we have in the shop. We've got a couple of these that are in stock. To piece a little silicone design, you can pour your favorite UV curable resin to make your own key caps. These are MX-compatible. So these will work with the Cali switches that we have. We've got a bunch of those. And the cool thing that I want to test out was having components as well as the googly eyes. It's hard for me to focus. Let's get this as close as we can. One of the things we are known for and to the Halloween eye products. There you go. Of course, we had to add some googly eyes to this. With some gold flakes. Yeah, yeah. This is glitter. So we wanted to try out doing multi-layered key caps. So you can kind of see. There's like two layers on this one. I've got super macro mode here. So there you go. You can really see. No, you did really good. Even I don't see any of the air bubbles. Air bubbles is one of the enemies of casting. And there are some, but because it's such a small part, you're less likely to get these air bubbles. Oh, they're just going to be diligent in trying to get these out. It would definitely help to have one of those chambers that take away all of the bubbles. If you're going to sell these on Etsy, you might want to invest into that tolling. But this was a great first starter. Kind of get your feet wet with resin. Oh man, look at this one. So this is a good combination of mica powder and embedding a literal resistor in there. I think the joke is that these should have been a capacitor. A resistor to have some resistant caps. No, capacitor to have some cap. Cap. Key caps. Yeah.  Probably one of these. And it kind of magnifies it, too, which is quite interesting. What is it, the MP222s? Yeah, a little transistor. Connie, the transistor over here. So that looks really, really good. So this is a mixture of these little glitter that are cut into the heart shapes. I like those. We also use those on the kitty cat paws, which we also have the silicone modes of the kitty cat paw. And lots of little creative things you can do there with the nubbins. Wanted to make the hearts for each of the pads there, along with some glitter. And look how good these stems come out. Stems are excellent. So in the video that we put together, please take a look at it. If you do plan to get into these, the trick really was to cure it in layers. So as you're adding more layers, you want to cure each kind of thing. I just did a little bit of autofocus. Let me turn that off. There you go. And one of the things we found is the silicone mold. The tolerances work best with the Cherry MX non-cale socket, or non-cale switches, just because it's a little bit loose on the kale box. So that's just a little bit of a warning. If you do want to resin cast and use these silicone molds, the tolerances for these stems are going to work the best on the Cherry MX style stems. And what is the difference between them? Well, you can see that one has a crossbar and the kale box has a literal box. So for whatever reason, the taunches like okay, but it can, oh no, it actually, it's not too bad. It's not too bad, right? If you're trying to show off with it, it can do that. It'll take a little more force on the Cherry MX one, so you can do that. Especially when you have a googly eye in there and you're specifically hitting it to have an eye bounce around. Yeah, that's fun. But hey, that's just one of the things that we want you to know about. These profiles are, oh boy, U1 or something. So you can check out that these have very particular profiles. So this is silicone mold, it's a two-part bit, and then we're using our curing lamp that we talked about two weeks ago. This is a LERD guide and a 3D print and something that you assemble yourself with a permaproto and some UV LEDs. The real add-on to this really was this little tray because as you are adding stuff, this is very floppy and it can sag a bit. So the deal here is that this little tray will keep it nice and straight as you insert it into the mouth of this lovely device. Yeah, so this has been updated. The thing of response for this has the tray included and if you want to pick, or you may have to build this guy out and you can pick up all the parts for this. It's just the permaproto, the half-size permaproto board, and it's 30 of the UV LEDs. Yeah, that's a fun project. Oh, and a power boost. Oh, and a power boost because it's rechargeable. Yeah, that was one of the most, in terms of the little hidden secret for this was keeping the stem and the two parts of these completely in line. So check out the guide for all of the step-by-step on some of the little gotchas to increase the yield of popping these out. One of the other things I don't even mention in there is just like 3D printing instead of filling all of the molds up and then having four fails, just do one, so if it fails, it's just one. Yeah, we have some of this pigment, which is like powder. We used mica powder, but this should work as well. We haven't tried it, but we remembered, oh yeah, we have this pigment in stock, so we might as well throw it up there. Most of the things are in stock, the macro pad's still out of stock, but you could use the snap or any number of things. Yeah, this'll work with anybody, like so. That's what's cool about it. And I think we have a link to the resin, maybe not. Oh, I did not put a link down there. Yeah, you can get it from Amazon. It's literally the first stretch result that comes in. Yeah, there you go. This is a, what is this, YR rhythm? Oh, Y-Rhythm? Yeah. Right, this is it. Single part, so you don't have to mess with trying to weigh a two-part epoxy resin or anything like that. Nice feel of the features. Odor-free, self-degassing.  We're gloves, you can see Pedro's. You know, you want to have a nice silicone mat when you're working with it. And then this is 200 grams of this. How much of this resin do you have and how much do you think you need? I think I have a little bit more than half of the bottle left. Oh, great, so you can make. You can make a ton. You know, a ton of these, maybe a whole 300. Probably, I don't want to say maybe 50 or something like that, with like your fails as well. So, quite a bit for I think like $20 that ships next day on Amazon. All right, I wonder if you can get these locally from like your Joanne's or your Michael's. I would not be surprised since it is used for a lot of jewelry making. For sure, look at these diamonds, these gems. Specifically what these are supposed to be for.  That is really important. The silicone stuff, because the little silicone pokers, toothpicks, are what help you pop those air bubbles and just spread out the mica powder. And the mica powder, just search for mica powder. Actually, this is Alvaro for telling us about mica powder. We were like, what should we use? And he was like, mica powder. So here's the bottle. 200 grams. This is what we recommend. And it's clear, right? So you're gonna get it super clear. Mix it with pigments, you can put stuff in it and maybe get a bottle of alcohol for getting rid of any of the tackiness. But yeah, it looks great, man. Yeah, so in terms of the layers, I think I was able to get three different layers on there. And that's about all you need really to have like a foreground, like the hero of what your key cap is trying to like visualize. So this is like volume up and volume down. So of course I have the glitter cut out. I was gonna grab musical little, or these not treble clefs. Quarter notes. Yeah, they're quarter notes. Some sort of note. Yeah. Yeah. Super cool layering of different elements. Yeah. I wanted to see if there's any other type of like Halloween themed ones to make a Halloween sound effects little thing. Super cool. Check out the guide for that. And we still have the silicone molds as they are in stock. Here it is on the website. We have a slew of them. Different, what would you call it, layout, I suppose. Of course we have the kitty puzzles are out of stock because folks really wanna make those. But right now we got the three by one and the two by 2.5 units. But I guess this is the one you're using. It's the control key one. Okay, so this is it. Yeah, it's only $4 for this mold. So there you go. It'll fit right in our little UV. All of these do, yeah. Oh, except the space bar. Yeah, the space bar's huge. But the majorities and the kitty paws are working pretty good too. And that is the resin keycaps. Lots of fun and there's possibilities in terms of theming and all that. Good skill to have one for every month. All right, so we're gonna go into the next. All right, learning guide. This week we have a video for- This is all gonna be keycaps, so. It's all keycaps, yeah. So this week we got a video for our emoji keyboard. This is a project idea from Liz. She wrote the code as well and I put together the 3D printed case.  So these keycaps have these little printed inserts. These keycaps have two pieces to them. They got this gray keycap here that has the injection molded stem and that fits perfectly into a kale block switch.  These little inserts are just printed from 2D paper. You can pop one out like that if I don't damage it. But that's what it is. It's just this clear flat top. There's no dome or curvature to it, so it's really, really simple. And then this is a little paper print that I printed out. I used a template from Carter Nielsen who's on the Adafruit support team. He's also a guide author and he created a project that uses the, I think it's the macro pad to do two step auth codes. And then he used these keycaps to have different services like Discord, Google, and whatever other service that you need to do to auth codes. Yeah, so that's really the thing that I added to this is kind of new.  So I figured I'd put some of my favorite emojis and here's what my little template looks like. I have this available in the Learn Guide so you can download this. This is a sheet of all the emojis. There's so many emojis. So creating this template was, you know, it took some time because I had to like space out everything and then an illustrator. You have to use the glyph window because you can't, like it doesn't support emojis. It's quite fun. But let's take a quick look at the Learn Guide and see where that is. So the Learn Guide covers all of the stuff. Liz put together an awesome code walkthrough. We kind of talked about this before we left. So I kind of skipped that and go straight into the usage page because this is really where you can get that PDF. That's sort of the latest update to the project. So if you want some PDF template, you can use this. And then if you have an editor like Inkscape or Illustrator, there's layers in there and you can turn on and off the different emojis and sheets of them or create your own. So that's what we got there. Another thing from a design standpoint, I'd like to talk about, as I was filming this, I kept running into the problem where my cutie pie keeps popping out of its holder. So I finally created a little bit better method of holding it in place. These just pop out all in one go, which is really nice because you got kale switches here. I'm gonna take off the frame and then talk about how is this being held in place? So really when you plug this in, it normally pops out but I have these very, very tiny chamfered edges on each of these corners and those grip onto the PCV. And really the trick here is that you have these open reliefs here on the holder that allow you to pop it open. So if you wanna just flex that slightly, that is how you open it. And the only reason this works is because you got two things here. You have a one half millimeter thickness of your bottom cover and you have reliefs here, which allow you to, well, flex it slightly because otherwise if this was too thick, you wouldn't be able to flex it. If there wasn't any reliefs here, well, you wouldn't be able to get in there. So that is the latest update. Any QDPI project I'm gonna do for moving forward will have this geometry. It's a little bit extra work to create these little things, but is it worth it? Yes, absolutely. And of course, one of my favorite things about this project is there's no soldering required. Everything's super modular. This literally just disconnects and I can use this QDPI in any number of projects now. No soldering, it's just clean and maintained nicely. And the best part about the QDPI is, it's in stock right now for 995.  So make sure you tune in to Ask an Engineer tonight because that's gonna be fun. So let's go ahead and look at the overhead again. I'm gonna try my best to put this in, but see if I can, you can just barely see those tiny little corners there. And that is what keeps, and it's a chamfer, a one millimeter extrude with a chamfer. I don't even think it's, I think it's 0.5 millimeters actually. Take a look at the cat in a minute, but the way I get it in there is you fit it at an angle and you notice that, well, now these little clips won't allow it to go in. So that flex right there, you flex that, it clicks right in. And now it, it unflexes, right? It straightens out and now it's like really in there. And yeah, now it will hold up against all sorts of USB cable connections. That just clicks in there. Orient this the right way and just click all these in. Sorry, I did that off camera. But yeah, let's pump this in and I think the number one comment that I keep seeing or not keep seeing, but one of the things that would be interesting about this project is if in the future, maybe we'll have a Unicode support. Cause right now it's a bit of a process to do an emoji where you have to execute several commands to get the emoji pop up to work. You have to add some extra delays, particularly for Big Sur, Mac OS Big Sur. But on Windows it's pretty quick. It's much quicker, less delays. But yeah, that's pretty much the project. So shout out to Liz for coming up with it. And thanks for everybody checking it out. So if you wanna build this with the QT Pi, it's in stock. The one by four, however, is problematic as it has a Sandy chip. And well, it's gonna be two years until we get a Sandy chip. So we might have some hardware revisions on this particular board. But with that, let me punch in some emojis here. Let me see if I can do this. Yeah. So here we go. Some live emojis. Are you all ready for emojis? Guitar. Oh, that didn't work that time. Let's do it again. Guitar. There's your guitar. There's the synth controller. Lightning Bolt, Lightning Bolt. And the Akita, which is a dog. And then I hit Enter. There you go. Isn't that faster than having to pop up the window, search for emoji, and yeah. So let's hope that we can get Unicode support at some point, but that's the emoji keyboard. Let me do a quick thing here. So the Learn Guide's up there. I've also updated the STL of the bottom cover because that's really the only update that I've made since we released it. So yeah, it's not popping out anymore, which I'm super happy about. Because I'm filming this and I just keep, I'm just like, you know what? I'm not gonna film anything. I'm gonna go back into Fusion and update this. And because it's so modular, I did not have to reprint the cover or the frame because I maintain the same dimensions and everything's parametric anyway. So there's some CAD lessons there. All right. That is a cool flex, bro. Yeah, that's a good one. And then Dexter is saying, hey, I have a 2D printer. I could do this. Yeah, yeah, for sure. These re-legendable keycaps are out of stock, but I don't know, maybe someone else stocks and they're very, very cool. They don't have to be emojis. They can be actual letters or actual stickers and things. More any of the number of new emojis that are coming out in the next, what do they call it? Revision or update? Yeah, that's right. It's gonna be fun to see new emojis. There's so many of them. Geez. Need some new fruit. Yeah. You got star fruit. A star fruit would be nice. I noticed they don't have a starfish because I was like, oh, I need to put an I in a starfish. Y'all can guess why. Cool. All right. I didn't take a time code for that. Son of a gun. All right, so here's a time code for this segment here. What is it? 27 minutes in. This is 3D models. So if you'd like to use a 3D model of any number of Adafruit components or boards, please check out our GitHub repo, our 3D Cads part, has just about every board from Adafruit as a 3D model in step file format and Fusion 360 file format and also as a STL. So if you'd like to use any number of those file formats in your CAD packages, check out our GitHub repo. That is how I'm able to make these models so accurate. They're actually directly converted from Eagle, which is the CAD software that Lamar uses and gets brought into Fusion 360 because they have such great tight integration and that's why we use it. So check that out. The website for that is, Pader's gonna post the link. You already did. Adafruit slash Adafruit CAD part. There you go. The way they work is you can use control or command F and then search for the PID. Let's say we want the QT Pi. I'm just typing QT Pi and we have two of them. We have the regular QT Pi, the PID 4600 and we also have the QT Pi RP 2040, which I'm not seeing. So let me type in RP 2040. There's a number. There it is, 4900. So you have the QT Pi, the Itzy Bitsy, the Feather, all the RP 40 boards. We even have the Neo Key right here, the one by four QT thing. We also have the Neo Key Feather Wing, the Rotary Trinkie, all those boards are there. Yeah, and I'll be working on more parts as we get new boards and stuff. I think the Ortho one is something that I haven't added yet, Ortho. It's problematic, yeah. So I'll get on that. But for now, there's tons and tons of boards and components, so check those out. So there you go, there's the Ken parts. Big ups from Short says, say it was a lot of time. For sure. When we first started, that was a lot, the large part of our time was trying to figure out where all the mounting holes for the boards were. Yeah, we would have to use our calipers and manually measure everything for many years until we figured out, or it's out. At least a dozen of the prototypes that we would have to print out just to get that alignment in correct. For sure. Having onboard components modeled too is really important so you get all those little resistors that might get ripped off if you mount them incorrectly, right? Cool, all right. I think we're ready for the shots on. The lawn mowers. The lawn mowers, yeah. I said that Andy was like, where's the lawn mowers? They're a little late today, there they are. Yeah, they're coming, don't you worry, they're coming. Okay, so we're ready for a shop talk? You take a time code?  I don't know what it is. Oh, with some CNC stuff. Yeah, I'm in CNCing, so hold on. Shop talk, I'm just trying to take notes here. All right, so let's take a look. I was fortunate enough to become a member of the Banton Tools Residency. They sent me one of their new machines. This is the Banton Tools desktop CNC machine and one of the projects I wanted to do is a two-sided key cap. And I wanted to mill it out of wood, different types of wood. So with this, I had to create a custom fixture or a holder for these key caps. So this is just some footage of running through one of the operations here, doing the top side of the key caps. So it was a long journey of learning and failing. Speaking of failing, I actually have the machine down right now. I have some replacement parts for it, but I have maxed out like 20 hours of milling. I kind of maybe over tightened the belts and broke them. That's the part of learning. I also broke a couple of bits, but hey, that's all the part of the game here with CNC milling. So the goal here is to create a learn guide next week and a video that shows you the recipe of all the toolpaths, setting them up in Fusion 360 and ultimately the physical things that you need to do to create this type of project geometry, what have you. So let's take a look at the overhead. Take a look at the final product first of all. These are all CNC milled on the Banton Tools. These are all key caps that are boys. The DSA profile, they're symmetrical profile. So you can see here they all have a 20 degree drafted angle and they have these little curvatures on the tops of them. So they feel really nice. These are three different types of wood. We have maple right here. We have some cherry and some walnuts. And let's pop one off just to take a look at the inside. This is the inside of the cap. Let me do a focus. Inside of the cap, you can see here that we are very, very close at the limit of our tools. So all of the geometry is designed around the end mills. So there are three different tools I'm using to create this. The actual stem is a 1.32 inch. The inside here is a 1.16. And the outside to do an adaptive clearing, I'm using a 1.8. So three different tools, not too bad. And we got about a millimeter and a half of shell here, but these are quite nice. And they seem to be pretty strong too. So that's really nice. They fit in perfectly into the kale switches. So that's a look at them. You can almost make out the step-downs here and see those radiated things. But they look great. These are completely unfinished. I still need to get some lacquer on here to really pop out the grain of the wood. But these are what I'm working on. This is just the fun experiment that I was playing with. And I also played with this knob design that's also a two-part thing. But mostly we're gonna focus on the keycaps. So real quick, I'll show you my jig or my holder. This is the part holder. These keycaps here come off like that, but this is what the holder looks like. These are just some actual injection molded DSA keycaps. And they actually fit perfectly in my holder jig. So the idea here is that you have a holder that holds the first top of the keycap. What I do is I create this piece first. I mill these out in a big array and then cut them out in blocks. And then when I flip it over, that's where I'm etching away everything. And then they get secured with some tape. So I add some tape down here. And then these are fitted there. I wanna close the door. And I'm able to do a three-by-three layout here because of the massive volume, the build volume and the Bantam Tools desktop CNC. And then these come off like that. And then it's easy enough to just pop these out from the tape. And the tape is what really keeps them in there. But that's the kind of thing I got. The way I'm able to secure this is with an L bracket. And you'll see all this in the video. Just imagine this is the L bracket. I'm able to probe the bracket so that I know exactly where these are gonna be placed. And then the Bantam Tools software does a great job of visualizing where your G-code is. So it's quite a mix of things. But that's what I'm working on. And you can expect a learn guide in a video next week. So yeah, lots of wood, lots of keycaps. Yeah, people like the wood and the milling. Yeah, let's take a look at the milling again because it's so fun to look at. Yeah, that's just facing. It's quite a change to go from an eighth inch to a quarter inch end mill and just be able to just shrug through this material. It's pretty awesome. And here as you can see my holder and these little blocks here underneath them is the inside of the keycap. And that's what you wanna mill first. You wanna do that operation first so that when you have a couple of them, you can add them to this holder here and then do the top side. And you can see how much it has to kind of etch away. And you have to have an offset so that as you can see the slope of this thing and it's really important to kind of do it in this order. But hey, that's just a little bit of the recipe here. It's like we're cooking, we're CNC cooking here. So very cool, any questions or anything like that? Let me know and maybe I can get them, include them into the video. Yeah, people wanna see some milling on top of the keycaps. That would be cool, yeah. Yeah, I don't know what to add to the tops, you know, like mill some sort of etched number or maybe an emoji. Yeah, I think I'm gonna leave them blank, you know. And I also have some other wood so I'm gonna run through some of the things about the different types of wood. The other thing I think is combining it with the resin so it would just be like one layer on the top, you know, like how they do like those rings where it's like burnt wood with the ashes like in there to make it look like it's some sort of. A resin table keycap, a resin key. That's cool. I would like a little like cut one section and then like add that blue mica powder on top of there to have it be like a river. That would be so cool. Yeah, and we'll get some shellac on these to make it look great. But that's what we got for CNC stuff. It's been a fun journey and it's almost, we're almost at the end of it. Okay, we're still in the shop talk so I got one more fun thing I wanna talk about. This is a fun piece of code that I saw from Todd Bot. So Todd Bot's been doing so much cool circuit Python code and this one, let's take a time code. It's at three, nine, there's nine, Todd Bot. All right, so check this out. This is the, you know, the macro pad we're still hanging out here.  Uh-oh, did I break it? Yes, I broke it. All right, there it is, it's reloading. There it goes. Three to the keys do different effects. As you hold it down, you can play around with the duration of the octaves and it's just a really fun noise maker. It reminds me of like Tommy's Oskytone arcade punk. But this is all done in circuit Python. Sorry. All right, let me stop it. It's super fun to play with. I don't know what I'm doing, but this is really fun. It's in this orientation, which is really interesting. I almost wanna redesign this so that it's, you know, and this handle would be over here on top. But hey, it's cool, it's monitor, right? So check it out. It's called the noise toy. Let me show you Todd's Instagram and we'll throw a link in the description in the thing here. But yeah, I saw this on Todd's Twitter and he has a gist on GitHub so you can play around with the code and he does a better demo than I do because he wrote the thing. This is really, really cool. Very, very fun. So you can check that out. Let me drop the link into Discord. Todd, if you're out there, keep it up, man. This is so fun, it's the best downloads, man. So there's my, I don't know, promo or something? Fun macro pad, it's very different because it's hard to demo hotkeys, you know, because I'm running the show so it's always fun to have a game or something like that. There's also other games too that you can check out. Philby's Dragon egg catching game is fun too. But hey, noise toys is what I wanted to play with today. Just give Todd a shout out. So check it out. I think that sort of bleeds into community makes. Yeah, you're right, yeah, it does. So let me take another timecode where we are here with time, we're at 40, 41, community makes. Yes, this is definitely what we need for a Halloween setup. So let's do our community makes. First up, we're gonna catch up on I guess three weeks of time lapses. I have three time lapses here. I remember the first one. So the first one is the, this sky, this is so cool. It is a Nintendo switch holder in the shape of the master sword from Zelda, Breath of the Wild, or Breath of whatever. No, it's the Star Wars. No, it's the game. Sky by Pablo Pirata, Pirata. And I love how such an excellent detail way to create a holder for your joy cons. So you got a shield for the blue one. And for the other one, it's the sword. So you are swinging and it's a motion controller, right? So the game allows you to use the accelerometers to control your weapons. There it is. Did an excellent job of having a single extrusion print. All of these just pop into place. So he did an excellent job in terms of having all the tolerances fit really well. So no special like a t-shirt or anything that was required for this. No sanding either, huh? No sanding, no painting. All you do is just pop in. This is two parts right here. So you can have all the colors separated. Look at this detail, oh my goodness. Same thing with the sword over here and with the. These are popped in inserts? Yeah, that just pops right in. Pop it right out if you want. And this is the, you know, the sort of design style that's been simplified for this Skyward game. So you'll see different versions of the master sword, but this is a really nice one because it's simple. And this is all one piece. Oh, I can see where this is there. Yeah, it pops in there. These two pieces get together. No supports, or did you get supports? Supports was on the inside of that. Got it. Because of the overhangs. Right. Other than that, no sort of tricks for getting the tolerances to work. They all fit and very snug. Very, very cool. I need to get the game. I have not time. I know. And here's the shield. Here's the shield. You can print it in whatever color. Just glue them together. They all snap fit. Yep, they all just snap in there. And again, super impressive the way the drafts are set up so these just can easily pop in and don't need a multi-material printer for this. Let's print all the different pieces in whatever color. Can I play with the time-lapse again? Do you show it printing? Just the blue part, because all the little pieces, it's uninteresting when it prints. Even the handle for the sword, it's just a short. Actually, I didn't put that in there. It's so short. It is short, but hey, it's cool to run through it. All right, yeah, there's a little bit of support there. Cool. All right, just want to show it again. So this is my Pablo, and I have a link here. Excellent, excellent job. To the universe. Great for cosplay, cosplay slash playing. Oh, I can put all the links to this. Yeah, I gotcha here. I got it. What's funny is, I believe Nintendo is selling their own. Yeah, you know, I think they shot accessories. They definitely shot. But it's so cool, you can just print out your own. Yeah, so. Customized to work with you. Pablo Vada. Shout out Pablo. And you won't be out. Excellent colors right here. Their prices are always high, so if you break it, you can just print another one. Very, very cool. So check it out. Awesome accessory to play, Skyward Sword HD. Cool. Oh, cool. The models were actually created by Zoltinky and modified by Fiber. All right, cool. Looks like there's a story behind this. That's awesome. Yeah, all right. We'll check it out. There's a link there in the description. On to the next one. We have a Tiki mask. This is a Tiki mask by Madd. Madd's ST. I think it's in the other room. I don't know if you can wear it or not. You can put some straps on the sides. Okay. A little big.  The eyelids for that is so big. Okay, I'm trying to get the link to the... I might have not copied it correctly. I apologize. Yep. Edit message. Hit her, push it update. Here we go. I know the video is running in the background, so here let me switch to the website. This is by Madd's ST. And there's several versions of it or just a cut up different. Yeah, just cut up for different size. Print beds. Got it. That's fun. It's big enough to print as one whole piece. You know, I thought this was from Crash Bandicoot. Indeed it is. So it's inspired by the Akua Koo mask from Crash Bandicoot. Remember playing that as a kid on PS1. And it's a bit of a low poly version. Yeah, I tried to print it out the high poly version. The cura just crashes the one trying to slice it. You brought it or is it a new one? No, it's in the other room. Okay, well you saw the time lapse of it. It's pretty cool. It's pretty neat. It's a very simple to print, right? Mm-hmm. What was it arranged for? Just support material on the teeth and the eyes. All right. The overhangs happen. Cool. Excellent. Works there. And then the last one is... This is a request. It's timely. It's a request from P.T. Mr. Lady Year. But they just sold the suicide squad. There were some eater fruit circuit boards in there. Yeah, the coin cell. The coin cell battery. It's like a bomb, everything. And of course, the Star-O, the... The star of the show. Star of the show. Flipping starfish. Yeah, so of course, you wanted some hollowing eyes added into here. So this is the Ninja Flex print of a Star-O. So slice it up into two parts so that the bottom can come off. It's completely hollow on the inside. Wow. The only modifications I did to that was use a mesh mixer and hollowed out the geometry to this. Then we just added a hollowing in there, the M4 version. They get a little bit of a crispness to the eye graphics. And then the acrylic convex lenses that we have. Nice little 500 milliamp hour battery on there. You have access to the on and off switch and USB if you want to edit the shader for the eyes. I think, I believe it was like yellow and green. It's funny that this is actually the iris that in the movie, it's pretty much like the golds on the inside and then blue on the outside of the iris. Yeah, it's just that needs to be, the iris needs to be bigger. But other than that, yeah, it's a nice little way to make a Ninja Flex prop of Star-O. Super easy. I can't see starfish like normal anymore after seeing that movie. And what's cool about this because it sends a Ninja Flex the way that this snaps in. This is really cool the way it can cup into the outer kind of lip. And it curves inwards, so it's got a good thing to it. It's just nice and creepy. I was having too much fun creeping out my son. Chasing him around with that. Chasing him around. All right, let's look at the time lapse because I didn't play it yet. But oh, you got a bit of a. Hey folks, sorry about the static. My mic died. How about that? I need some new batteries. Well. Colleges on the ears. Colleges on the ears. How long did that have? About a minute. About a minute? Well, how fitting that it's on Star-O that you get this crazy audio. But hey, we have backup mics right here. So shout out to backup mics. I don't know. Yeah, shout out to the Yeti mic. So it doesn't need a battery. So this is the remix here. I believe it's a remix. Maybe it's not. It's from Super Dave71 on Thingiverse. Thank you, Dave, for posting up your Star-O the Conqueror model. You've remixed it happily. So maybe we'll post it up as a remix if folks really want it. It's also on Tinkercad, which is really cool. So check it out. And it's also a remix from some real Starfish. Oh, excellent, yeah. Remix of a remix of a remix. So excellent. All right. Sorry about your ears. So they're the only other tip in terms of, besides the hollowing it out and getting the two pieces sliced so that the way that this press fits in to the other side is the airbrushing that I was trying to do. I thought it would work on the black. Of course, it did not. I should have printed it all in white. And that would have worked. So I had to use the acrylic paint, which I thought would have cracked and fell off with all the bending. But it does not, so yeah. This matte finish, too, feels really nice. And of course, you can have that slimy look by adding probably some resin on top or some sort of acrylic, some sort of clear coat on top. Maybe that would crack it. But hey, there's so much stuff you can do with Ninja Flex. Again, this is the Cheetah Ninja Flex. What's the shore hardness, 80 or 90? 90, 98 is the shore hardness. Stuart's asking, what fill did I use for the Ninja Flex? What infill, maybe? Infill, I think it's like 10%. The trick for hollowing this out inside of mesh mixer is just having the thickness be, I think it was like 2 millimeters for the thickness when you adjust the hollow settings inside of mesh mixer. And another tip when you're printing with Ninja Flex, you probably want to use what, blue tape? You don't want to print it straight on your PEI. I did. So I have a 0.35 initial layer height. So it's higher on the bed plate. And it didn't fuse to it? It did not fuse. That's the trick on that one. Just have the initial layer be like 0.35. You can almost see the texture. The height, not the width. Was it on the powder coated? Yeah, PEI. So the powder coated PEI sheet. Yeah, we need to upload our profiles that we've done for the CR10, V2 and V3 and Pro. Just as a thing. I have them so dialed in right now. Just as a thing about this Cheetah style Ninja Flex, it's less elastic, but it's still super duper. Depending on how flexible you print it. So this is like three layers. But there's no elasticity to it. So just be aware of that. If you want some of the stretch, you want to go with Ninja Flex. But if you have a boat in, you're pretty much limited to something like this, which is Cheetah's 90-shore hardness 98. Jerobo just walks around like this or he kicks one of the rats. Then he gets eaten by the rats. And then the way that we're mounting this on, it's just hot glue. Yeah, a little dab of the hot glue here will hold it in place. And then put the lens. We're being concerned here with not using too much, but you can just rip it out to recanibalize in a different project. Yeah. I don't want to put that on my face. That's just, I think he's going to request that with some Ninja Flex rats. Hey, it's Halloween. It sure is in August. Shamiest my name. I mean, we got, what is it, the Halloween, the boobash coming up I think next week. So we're all in on this Halloween right now in August. All right, so. Cool. All right, yeah. 10% for the infill. Which doesn't really matter here since the- It's all parameter. Yeah, it's all parameter. You're not even getting any infills. No. It's just straight in parameters. How many parameters? Three? Or four? Three, three parameters. Solid. And if you meant like, how did I like fill? Like one of the parts of that like crack and the under extruded just a bit, huh? It's just the angle of it. It has texture to it. Yeah, it's the angle. It's just paint stuck in there. Yeah, that's fine. Did you have to clean up any of the stringiness? Very low. I mean, it's all on the inside so it doesn't really matter. It's funny. You can kind of see some of the stringiness right here. You can just cut them off. So the sports just pop right off just because of the offset that I have set on them. It's the 0.22 for the Z offset on that code. I think that's it for this week's time-lapse stuff. There's more community makes. We do have more community makes. So let me grab some links and we'll share some links here. All right, so I'm doing what's at time code is 55 if we're almost out of time folks. All right. So first up we got, we got a fun make from Stuart. Stuart, you're in the chat room. Hello Stuart. This is the pie badge. Stuart wanted to make a case for his pie badge. This is a snap fit together case. It's got all the cutouts for the buttons and even some cutouts for the NeoPixels. And Stuart also made a diffuser as well for the NeoPixels and TPU, which is really cool to see. But yeah, if you need a case for your pie badge, check this one out. I also have like a bezel I think too, that you can add if you have your, if your monitor is kind of coming out. So check it out. Thanks Stuart for posting that up. Just search for a pie badge case on Thingiverse or the learn system and you'll find the parts there. All right, next up we have our first make of the kitty paw keypad. So, Nikoie Wen posted up their make of this very cute kitty paw shaped keypad. It's a, I didn't think anybody would build this, but this is so cool to see that somebody actually build one. And it looks great. It's got party pair on the inside. And as you press the keys, the toe beans rather, the party pair will animate because it's all in circuit python and shout out to Liz for helping me on that one as well. So yeah, it's great to see folks are making the most ridiculous keypads. And also from Neo, Nick, Nikoie, Nikoie. They also have the lemon keypad, which is a fun one too. This is the predecessor to the kitty paw. So that's really cool to see as well. All right, next up, we have a Star Trek comb badge with the circuit play ground. This is something I actually milled out of brass and aluminum, but it's an STL, so you can print it out. Folks are printing it out. And this was printed on an Ender three. That's really cool to see and some nice kind of glossy style filaments here. Excuse me. So that is really cool to see is there is Star Trek comb badge with circuit play ground. The actual circuit play ground is fitted behind the comb badge and it uses the accelerometer to actually chirp and light up and do some other things. So check that project out. It's from 2016, look at that. You even got your shirt going on there, Pedro. You were like evil Pedro Spock. So everybody wanna see Pedro as a evil Spock. Watch this video. And man, that was a fun project to mill because I never played with brass and milling brass is quite better than aluminum in my opinions. But anyhow, circuit play ground, 1001 uses. All right, next up we got a macro pad case. This is by John Park. John Park made his own sort of case for the macro pad. And this is a make by Ryan X7. So Ryan X7 printed this out and it looks great. They sanded it, it looks like injection molded. They sanded it and I think spray painted it as well. Very nice finishing. And they're really sweet designed by John. These are really nice buttons too, look at that. Very, very cool. I like all those little edges and stuff and make the details really, really sweet. So check that one out. If you wanna get another case for your macro pad, check out John's. All right, we got one more. I believe this one's from Jeff. Jeff Epler has some designs as well. So follow him on Thingiverse as well. NMSR 1196 is his username, but Jeff has here a little TPU bumper. So the description here, what's the make? I don't know who, well, in any manner. They saw it on the CircuitPython day stream and they wanted to print it and they found it here. So if you want just a simple little bumper to keep your macro pad nicely kind of secured or gripped, this little bumper here is designed for TPU filament, which is what we're talking about. So check it out, it's a good print. Should print really well. It's a good starter print. This is the right type of geometry you want if you're doing NinjaFlex for the first time or any TPU for the first time. Oh, Stuart says that's him on Thingiverse. Sorry, sorry, that is you. Oh, that is fun. So Stuart, you made all the things. So shout out to Stuart. But yeah, Jeff has quite a few designs as well. So check out Jeff, he does a lot of open SCAD designs. So check out Jeff's page here with follow. With follow, if you ask. I'm not signed in, so it doesn't show I'm following. But I am indeed following. Cool, cool. And that's the Swedish community makes. Thank you everybody so much for posting your makes, posting your designs, sharing it with the world. That's really sweet of you. I got a knife and a starfish. What are you showing on here? I'm gonna get it in the eye. That is exactly like every video game that has a monster. Yeah, you gotta get it in the eye.  All right, folks, we're gonna end the show. Oh yeah, it's lunchtime, it's lunchtime. So thanks, Stuart. So later tonight we're gonna be hosting show Intel. That's right, it's at 7.30 PM Eastern time. We're posting the StreamYard link in the Discord. So make sure to stay tuned on that, have all the notifications turned on. So you won't miss out on that. And then right after that it's gonna be a whole hour of Ask an Engineer with PT and Lamar. Take a look at all of the goings on this week, all the new products and of course the discount code. That's right. So get those carts ready with all of the projects for your next, or all the goodies for your next project. Don't forget, Halloween Hackfest is going on. This is a contest. You can win some monies for making stuff and you get double the prize if you submit it for gear. So why not check this out? It's your Hackaday IO account set up. IOT pumpkin ready? Yeah, that's a good idea. Or your Mac classic, haunted Mac classic with a native sticker. All right, folks, thank you so much for joining us. We're gonna see you next week. But until then. To make it. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Don't forget to make a great day. See you later tonight. Music.


All right. Let's see, let's go swim in, let's go swim in. Okay, here we go, question. Kimberly says, question. I met an interesting guy, two fund-aids later, we both agreed to go on more, but Jonathan, he is so shy and a bit beat up after his divorce four years ago. How can I help him gain trust? How can I help him gain trust? So, it's not your job to gain, to help someone else gain trust, okay? It's not your job to help them gain trust. Your job is to show up vulnerable, authentic, transparent. I'm gonna repeat that, vulnerable, authentic, and transparent. Your job is also to show up as an emotional grown-up, to show up as an emotional grown-up. Let me give you an example what an emotional grown-up looks like. First off, your actions consistently match your words. Your actions consistently match your words. I gotta tell you something, ladies. I'm a single man out there dating, and I can't tell you how many women are absolutely flaky in the dating process. They start a conversation with you on Bumble, and then they disappear. I think it's because they're listening to this stupid advice of playing games and trickery that's causing genuine, emotionally healthy men like myself to run away, to run away from those dysfunctional women because their actions aren't matching their words. So number one, actions matching words. Number two, they have victor consciousness and not victim consciousness. In other words, they take personal responsibility for their choices. They take personal responsibility for their choices. And folks, I see this frequently, and again, I'm speaking as a man talking to women. I don't know how many women, when it comes to the ending of every relationship they ever had, it's the guy's fault, it's the guy's fault, it's the guy's fault. Folks, do you see the finger I'm pointing? There's three fingers pointing back. If we don't take personal responsibility for our part in the ending of a relationship, then you're not actually in victor consciousness, you're in victim consciousness, you're blaming others. And I gotta tell you, human beings here in the United States are suckling on the nipple of victim consciousness. I mean, we are barraged by victims here that choose to blame others. Now look, I can understand some of you have had experiences with narcissists, some of you had experiences with cheaters, some of you had experience with liars. I get it. And at the same time, you have to look at your role into the ending of a relationship and nothing screams victim when you're pointing the finger at everybody else except yourself. So very sexy thing, lead by being a victor and not victim consciousness. Number three, learning how to fight fair, fight fair. What I mean to say is you listen to the other, by the way, every relationship is gonna have conflict and disagreements. What's most important is you listen to your partner's point of view. You validate their point of view as being true for them. You then express your point of view and allow them to validate your point of view and if you have differences, it's still acknowledging that their point of view is right for them. You can have a different point of view. It's okay to disagree, agree to disagree. Unfortunately, most people would rather be right than happy. Most people would rather, and they are basically, they're all focused on being right. And by the way, if you want a healthy, happy relationship and you wanna gain trust with someone, it's not about being right. It's about finding solutions to your problems. Solution to your problems, not about defending your position and we are suckling on that nipple big time. Number four is empathy. Now, empathy isn't just I can feel your feelings. Empathy is I genuinely care about your feelings and more importantly, I care about my own feelings. Do you know what? Most human beings suffer in silence because they rather be people pleasers than pleasing themselves. And one of the fundamental principles coming back to my book, what the heck is self love anyway?  By the way, the link's below to all the books is the idea of the oxygen mask, okay? First, we can't give love to others until we give love to ourselves. So when the flight attendant says, in the case of cabin pressure change, if you're traveling, the oxygen mask will be dropped from the ceiling and if you're traveling small children, put the mask on yourself first. Folks, we have to learn to be empathetic to ourselves and you're talking to a person who continually beats themselves up emotionally and it takes a lot of work to love myself. This is why my podcast is called the what would love do podcast. And one of the fundamental principles love is forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiving love. Forgiving love. If you're not familiar with the Hawaiian forgiveness verb, it's known as the hapono, pono, pono, pono, pono. And it goes like this. I love you, I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you. I love you, I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you. I love you, I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you. Like giving yourself a shot of B12, you're giving yourself a shot of L12 or love because if we start to forgive ourselves and we can have, again, empathy for ourselves, empathy for others, that's a great sign of emotional maturity. Number five is transparency, transparency. And what I mean by transparency, if it's material to the relationship, it's time to speak up.  By the way, I was in a relationship and I hid my feelings continually. And guess what happened? Stuck it under the rug, stuffed it under the rug, stuffed it under the rug. It was the elephant in the room the entire time. Ladies, coming back to my book, chapter one, speak your truth, do it with kindness. You oftentimes are afraid to speak up for fear of losing a guy. And I'm here to say you only lose the wrong guy because if you're sincere and from the heart, you can't say the wrong thing to the right person. That's chapter nine in my book, by the way. If it's sincere and from the heart, you can't say the wrong thing to the right person. So I invite you all to show up emotionally mature and lead by example. Now, does that mean the guy is going to follow your lead? No, if he's emotionally dysfunctional or he has poor relationship skills, it's gonna be very hard. But again, continually lead by example, and then you have to decide, is this really the right person for me? It may not be the right person for you. And that's okay too. The sooner we end the wrong relationships, we attract the right relationships in our lives. So coming back to your original question there, Ouijaan, I think it was, no, Kimberly. It's only two dates, but certainly you can start this as early as two dates by leading by example. And my hope is, my hope is, you actually form a stronger bond. And folks, let me just say this. If you really wanna create a strong bond with a guy, be radically honest right from the get-go. Because guess what? When two people are radically honest with each other, they actually build intimacy. Intimacy means into me you see. You actually build a stronger bond when you're radically honest with one another. Intimacy, into me you see. And that's my invitation for you. Lead by example, demonstrate that emotional maturity. Give it a shot. Let me know how it works. Will you do that for me? All right. Thank you so much for that question. I really, really, really appreciate it. Thank you so much. Hmm. All right. What's next on the agenda? Purchase a super stick or super chat.


My name is Jared Swagard and I'm from outside of Cleveland, Ohio in North Elmstead. I went to the Ohio State University for my bachelor's degree and I received my master's from the University of Utah. I'm really looking forward to living in the Bayville Valley for the full year in addition to working in the clinic, working with the great medical teams here and learning as much as I can.


This study characterizes long COVID-using data from the React2 community-based study in England. It estimates that 38% in autumn-winter 2021 and 22% in spring 2021 of people reported at least one symptom 12 weeks after symptom onset, identifies risk factors for persistent symptoms and finds evidence of symptom clustering. This article was authored by Matthew Whitaker, Joshua Elliott, Mark Shadow-Hyam, and others.
