right here on the edge of tech where we aim to educate and entertain the maker community. My name's Nerdy Jay. This is the Pooch. How you doing Pooch. I'm fantastic. What's everybody Jim? I can't believe we've been doing this for a year now actually over a year technically but hot makes is officially one year old today. I know. Where are the party heads? I know. I think there was only a couple of events that we missed and that was you know Christmas and New Years or something but yeah but but I tell you it's been a heck of a year. I know we did a couple episodes before the official hot makes transformation but it's officially a year. It's been awesome. It went by so fast. It really did. It really did and we've learned a lot and we've come a long way and it's it's it's been just really awesome. I mean I hope it's not just about it because you know going weekend week out you know filtering through everything that sent our way kind of thinking about how we want to do things like I know it looks like we don't know what we're doing. We're off the cuff but believe it or not we we spent some time preparing right. Yeah we do. I mean once in a while we're like heck we're going to take everything we have throw it out and do something new today but most of the time most of the time we're good. Andrew anniversary. Thank you so much. Thank you Andrew. Appreciate that. Very kind. But yeah I mean a couple quick cleanup things and then we'll jump into reminiscing for a little while. Number one. Yeah. Thanks. Thank you guys so much for sponsoring the episode. Let's see it's been I mean they've been going for a couple months. We go at least to the end of April with a $50 Amazon gift card every week to a winner. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much for that. Also being an anniversary we got to give something. I think we should give a printer away. What do you think? Why not? What should we do? What printer? What printer are we going to give away? Is it a surprise printer? No. Well kind of. I think I announced it earlier today but that's okay. We have a Creality Ender 3 V2 brand new in a box shipped straight to you today. So that's pretty awesome. That's courtesy of Luxemawts. If you don't know who Luxemawts is, it's a reseller of Creality. There's a bunch of different ones but I work with them a ton. Matter of fact, if you remember my Ender 5 Pro video, the first person to have an Ender 5 Pro they actually sent it to me and I really appreciate that. But thank you so much over there at Luxemawts for sponsoring the 3D printer giveaway today. So stick around because that's coming towards the end. That's huge. Tell us in the chat if you need a new printer. I don't even have a V2. I've got the Ender Pros but I've always hear good things about that V2. Clean looking printer. I like it a lot. It's one of my favorites. I have it currently right here because I was filming on something but actually I just unboxed an Ender 3 Max as well and that's basically a giant V2 which is awesome. My wife needs a V2. Like his and hers? His and hers V2s? Yeah, that's awesome. Tom, Irvine, thank you so much. Happy anniversary. Keep it going. Well, I appreciate that. So before we get too far also we have some announcements. Should we do some announcements? It's time for announcements. Announcements! Okay, listen up everybody. Turn up your volumes. Announcements. Attention. We have an announcement. Yes, mom. Yeah, okay. Mom, I'm doing a thing. I love it. Mom, I'm doing a thing. Someone commented that it looked like when you sneezed you dabbed. You did. I mean that was a straight dab, right? That's what I do. I do all the kids things these days. I don't think dabbing is actually a hip anymore. I don't think so. But you know what? Spinners weren't hip until Travis brought him back.   He's like the king of tiktok. Have you seen like every it seems like he's just dropping something new every every day practically. Yeah, I love watching him. I mean he comes up with the coolest stuff for those spinners and I absolutely love it. Matt, how are you? I see you there. Thangs is in the house as well. Shane, how you doing? And everybody else in the chat, we really appreciate you guys coming and hanging out with us every week. But we have some announcements. Number one, don't forget we have a new mailing address and we're going to start doing a mail episode. Put stuff in the package and send it to Jim. Ship it. We have a sweet bumper. Well, we're not Caleb is and then and then we'll figure out how to what to call that because I don't think hot males. I don't think that's a good idea. No, probably not. We'll come up with a clever title that's we do that. We do that, but that's exciting. So now you guys can send us stuff because I know you've been dying to send us stuff. Right. And I'll get that. I'll grab that and I'll put it in the link or I'll actually link the address in the chat too. What do we got next? A podcast. We started the podcast, right? Yeah, I'm still waiting on the official Apple podcast approval, but it's it's up and we're slowly, you know, putting the back catalog on there and we're working on being better about thinking of our audio only audience because we've had a number of you guys out there say, you know what I the timing for hot makes it's like it's still I'm still at work. People here on Pacific time you know at work often and it's not very easy to discreetly watch YouTube but a lot of people would love to, you know listen along and and know to check back on the show notes and see what we're talking about later. So we know we're we tend to be very visual or we're explaining visuals, but we'll try to be better about thinking of the audio only audience. So be patient with us. Give us gentle reminders and let us know if you've listened to the podcast what you guys think and what we can do to make it better. Yeah, I agree and Gary Schultz that he said maker mail. I like maker mail is not bad. I like that. Maker mail is pretty good. Mail Monday. We're going to we're going to crowd source workshop the the title. Maybe yeah hot mail at someone that that's why I'm saying Mike I believe that's I think that's a little drop Mike, but he said hot mail we have mail Monday so I'm going to pay a little more attention to the chat today because the whole reason why we started this show in the beginning right is to interact with you guys. So lately we've been diving so much into everything we've been talking to the chat but I'm going to do extra special today. What else we got here when we talked about the podcast tonight Sven from clock spring is with us. So excited to have Sven back and he's always he's always a delight to talk to and hear what the latest is for him. So stay tuned for that shortly. Well and if you haven't seen any of the teasers all day I'll tell you what you could have one of these. I've got one too and it's blurred out. Yeah. But that we have an exclusive for you guys tonight. Exclusive. We need like an exclusive like something crazy has to happen when we say exclusive because the air horn we need it needs to be better than the air horn. We need lights and sounds. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to do that. I'm going to do that. I'm going to retire my DJ stuff. I'm going to set it all up in here and then like hit a button. I want the fog machine dude.  I did that once and I hit it for like two seconds and you couldn't see me and then all my firearms went off because they're all connected from here into my house. That's the kind of you know Yeah. Yeah. Also, next week Devin from Make Anything two weeks we got Joel Telling 3D printing nerd with us. Huge. We've had amazing run of guests but I don't want to wait anymore. Sven is in the middle of the storms. He's got some power going around and flashing and he's with us. I want to get in there before we lose him through some power outages but ladies and gentlemen how are you? Oh look at that. There he is. I'm going I hope you can hear me over the rain here. I don't know how loud where this cancellation deals with it but it's loud. But hi. We got you now. You guys have been experiencing some epic storms there. I've been reading. There's a lot of water out there. I'm going to stay at home kind of weather. Well good. I love it. Hopefully you guys keep freezing for me. Hopefully it's not so bad from my end.   It's a little laggy but I think we'll be okay once we get going. We'll be okay. I'm just saying over the power at all. If you look outside is it just Benji's floating? I got to imagine outside in Sven's house there's got to be tons of things floating around. I haven't heard that the water get into his place. I've already designed a water wheel and it's just going out back.  They'd just be like bars floating down the street. That would be amazing. Well, Sven, it hasn't been very long since you were on last. Welcome back. Tell everybody what you've been up to. First of all, you got to give everybody the teaser. We've got new people on the show that don't know who you are. Give us the quick and dirty. Who are you? What do you do? I'm someone who sees 3D printing as a creative tool. That's me first and foremost. I'm also someone who finds it difficult to take things very seriously which is probably going to lead into the thing that we're talking about today. You made a request, a challenge even, to me and we'll see how seriously I took that. Sorry, over to you guys. You responded, my friend, in flying colours. I mean, Jim had a great nugget of an idea and you just took the ball and ran with it. Well, I hope so. Like I say, sorry, I've got a huge lag here. I don't know how it is for you guys. The great thing about 3D printing is we can do all this stuff that you would not dream of doing otherwise and silliness does tend to ensue. The good thing with our own personal fan is we can do everything we can't dream otherwise. Our own personal. Yeah, yeah, yeah.  We had spent on maybe two months ago, I think right around there I can't remember, something like that. Maybe three. It took me longer than that. Time is just flying. Recently. It wasn't that long ago, but yeah. Afterwards, after talking and getting to know, spend a little bit I posed a challenge and it was more like, hey, I have this idea. I think you could take it and run with it.  Let's do something that cross pollinates clock spring and hot makes but in Sven style. And not only that, but it's something that is useful. You brought a Benchy earlier. Benchy is one of the most ubiquitous 3d printed models out there as a benchmarking tool. And I love that you kind of threw down an idea of like, hey, how can we combine something that's fun and practical at the same time? I think I think that's how I maybe you could answer. I think that's how I hook spend because I said his brain works mechanically and I said something that is like a Benchy so we could test that has something mechanical in it that has movable parts that has something like an all in one encompassing torture test and and then Sven's like yeah, torture that's how you felt the last couple of months but how did you feel when I know I know our back and forth but tell the audience like when I first brought this to you, what were you thinking? Well, I mean, the idea was to have something that you could just print go, hey, here's the printer, let's throw this on see how it goes, whatever. And I think initially when we had that first conversation it was kind of like a cube but maybe the cube can have moving bits or something and there's this sense of something that would be relatively repeatable and so on and I took that and thought, how can I make this sillier? And that's where we are I'm not doing any reveals of what might be sitting over here. I assume that you also have stuff sitting just out of shot. We sure do. You know what's funny? This thing actually harks back to my childhood where my parents had something that resembled this that must have been ancient even in their day so there was a kind of nostalgia trip in there for me as well. Let's see your guesses in the chat guys, what do you think it is? You're getting clues now. A lot of a lot of clues here. Hot shrinks, a hot bench, a pooch table. If anybody was observant enough to go back the last eight or more weeks since you sent me the first prototype I have had them in my shot back here the whole time. Oh they would have to be like really scrutinizing right?  There's so much going on back there it's really hard to see what's going on there at all. There's a vase, I can see that. It's like a weird Waldo of 3D printing in the background behind Jim you never know what you're going to find back there. That could be a an aerial opportunity for you. 3D prints can you find the Benchy? When I dress in red and white stripes and I put a Santa's hat on he looks like Waldo. Yeah I'm pretty much Waldo. So it's the glasses. Magic 8-ball with enough pixels that's right. Game Boy pooch himself yes we made pooch. That would be something I'm just like yeah it's a robot. You know I love it. We're not going to keep you guessing too long. I think Spen needs to do the honor of the reveal and then you can kind of give some background. So go ahead without further ado we'll have Spen reveal what it is and what we're calling it. What is it? It's a toaster. It's a pop up toaster but there's more to it than that because it actually prints there's always more.  I don't know where they got that so these sides pop up but of course there needs to be something there to retain these sides and I'm doing this in mirror image on my webcam I'm not quite the pro that you guys are and so there's a latch there that holds it closed but the main thing is that there's this whole mechanism underneath and inside there that you can kind of see through this thing that controls the bread sliding up and down pivots and slides and things in there all of which need to print well if it's going to work so there's also some kind of gauge things in there seeing at what sort of tolerance things will move and there's some angle stuff in there as well but the main thing is it's a toaster and I've got a nice yellow one a really black one and I got out my one mil nozzle and I made a giant one as well that's the Texas toaster we call that I like that so the whole idea is I'm going to bring in this so this is one that I did here it's a galaxy black that looks like galaxy black yeah that's and like Spen was just talking about this is the clock spring hot makes torture toaster this is a place toaster and you can see across here you have your tolerance so you know when you're done you can see which ones actually open and don't break them because I've broken several there you go it's branded look at that official exclusive you guys tell me Spen didn't I mean how fun this is seriously a fun print it is a great it's a great test obviously you know Spen really outdid himself it's obviously got the clock spring flare you know so you've seen it and I I don't know about you guys but I haven't seen anything like it I don't know another toaster out there look at that so like who said we got about 3D printing I mean where would you possibly do something like this otherwise it's just I mean yes it caused me great headaches to actually create but that's the whole point right you can explore these things and it's just I mean I've been 3D printing for years and it still just seems like magic it's just such an awesome opportunity to just create and explore things you put so much detail in this like this side right here that we're looking at right you have all your circles you have all your hexagonal shape you need hexagons oh yeah you gotta have you have your overhangs right overhang tests let's see that's good overhang work you have 0.5 all the way to 0.1 to check your gaps make sure your first layer is dialed in because these will fuse I tell you the one thing the one thing that gets me more than anything else and I think I've got it on this one here is the adhesion on that first layer you can probably not see on this but these ones over here have come off the bed and so it's a disaster which also can mess up yeah I've had a couple of those where it's just these little pieces and if they don't print and they come off the bed that whole inside is done it's exactly the sort of thing that I would completely avoid in a regular print if that word torture they would absolutely not be there and so you watch it and you watch those first few layers and you say yes it's gonna print oh no I meant something else and it prints just like we're looking at it right here it prints open like this everything prints in place and then when it's done you have your stringing test up here too and this is not cleaned up this is sitting in front of me right here I just pulled it off there you go I love it you got your string in because I've had a couple I'm trying to see which one is it but a couple that totally went so stringy on the inside that let's see if I can get it to see all the string in oh yeah you got some stringy toast there yeah yeah but what's awesome is oops I just popped that one up probably because I was trying to get it loose from the bottom don't do that you know you can check your gauges here and see which ones move these actually move I mean you guys are really really gonna love this print like I said Sven outdid himself with this one it is a clock spring classic and I can see this you know being a next de facto torture test it's a fun print that you'd be happy to have to once you get it dialed in it's great to have it sit on your desk and you can show off all the benefits of 3D printing with it that is true and I'd like to point out literally the one you're looking at on the screen bone stock Ender 3 Max with the stock what is it Prusa Slicer Ender 3 V2 profile that I changed the bed size on I did not change anything else it's just leveled in print and so it is very possible on any machine really because I haven't done this on the Prusa Mini yet especially because it's at work and I don't want to run a print overnight this torture test it takes 15 hours I mean I think right around there at point 2 and so it takes a while to do and I didn't want to do that overnight when I'm not there at work but as you can see it comes out amazing again like Pooch said Sven knocked this out of the ballpark and I think that the coolest sounds you'll hear is this coolest everyone's going to know that sound I love it so of course the number one question we're going to get is like when can I get it where can I get it all that stuff and we haven't even really discussed those details obviously we don't want to step on your toes Sven as the creator what are your thoughts for getting people getting this in people's hands we can available via a link after this it's not up at the moment but that's in the age of modern technology does not take long so ready to go and let's use your photos because they're really good sounds good so we'll work with them and we'll get a link out to you guys yep 3D design thinking just do lots of design that's the best approach to that just do things even when you have no ideas and you have to be an evil master like you do need to be evil but I think that's self-evident everyone knows that so I know we had a bunch of comments and I was showing the thing I didn't see what do you guys think what do you think of the torture toaster you can do it in any color you can do it in brown do big ones do small one I want to see little mini toasters who's going to do a resin toaster I haven't tried a mini one a mini toaster would be because that's what you really know when you start bringing it down smaller that's how you know you get your tolerances really down for the record all those tolerances internally are 0.5mm so apart from obviously the gauge a bit on the side 0.5mm everywhere so scale accordingly and see how close you dare to everything being fused together and somebody soviet and scotsman had a super good question how much is a torture toaster going to be and today only you can get it for 1990 no I'm just joking it is 100% free courtesy of clock spring and hot makes and just remember when you take your pictures I have such an early prototype we didn't have any display on the back there just remember when you take your pictures don't forget to get in there you got to tag it you got to tag it hashtag torture toaster clock spring I was going to show this one with much larger logos but it's also printed with an enormous nozzle and enormous layer lines that's awesome so can we drop this on things what do you think we can put it everywhere there's things with us and they're sponsoring we might as well put it on things they search by geometric shape so we can just put toaster there you go because that's trending in 3D prints everyone's up there I think my next print I might even try to do a time lapse of it I'm going to try to see how big I can do it on the under 3 max max size max the biggest we'll see who's the biggest who does the smallest I'm really interested to see how small you can go I mean big you just keep scaling it up but small and be functional that will be the trick especially if you do it in resin because you've got all sorts of extra problems there trying to do articulation in resin I want to make it big enough Sven I can put it in my backyard so I jump off here and then I bounce off of that into the pool it's a little practical you have a habit of standing on stuff now like your print mill that's the only way to test something is you've got to stand on it to see if it can really take the weight so Steven when you hear that crunching sound you know the answer is no Steven says he can make the biggest and you print pretty much everything you got and he's a big reason why I found you and joined your Patreon and Pooch first Patreon for Pooch too and if you guys have not seen ClockSpring Sven's Patreon you need to do that it's 500% worth the subscription there's a link in the description below it's not an affiliate link I don't get anything out of this other than making models that I can print and the fact that I mean yes the chat is going that's the other side of this I'm sure you've seen that it's just no that's how it goes that little globule that little blob causes which one is it that little blob causes one toast yeah I've got a pile got a pile here little blobby parts yeah it was about and it handled it pretty well but I just had a first layer adhesion issue so that best layer I can't you really knocked this out of the part when we were chatting in the beginning like you said I was like a cube it will rotate on the corner like I was thinking a toaster okay I can see that I don't even remember what the other ideas were there were no other ideas like once toaster was an idea there can be nothing else all of a sudden I get a chat and you said it's been a little while but check out this render I think I'm getting somewhere and I was just like holy moly so just said they're gonna kick in a $50 Amazon gift card a second one for the biggest print for a torture toaster and as long as you tag things in social media we'll find it so let's do this after the stream tonight and into tomorrow we'll get it distributed everywhere and then we'll post on social medias that we got it everywhere we'll get the boys to grab the files for free and start printing this week and by next week let's see how many in the wild we can get don't forget hashtag hotmakes clockspring3d don't forget clockspring3d in there and then torture toaster of course and things we'll lay it all out there but next week let's see who can print the biggest one by next week so she said they'll do a second was there a thing for the smallest too how hard the smallest is or are we just doing biggest I didn't see so I don't know no they didn't mention the smallest oh maybe hey maybe sweet the pot smallest and biggest our stream will pitch in our stream hotmakes we'll do a $50 Amazon gift card for the smallest we'll do the regular gift card and then the largest one so next week we'll have three oh man I'm seeing all kinds of great successes people are like I want to see it on a concrete printer I want to see the multi material the multi tool those people are going toast crazy Sven I haven't imagine people trying to get body weight on the concrete printer version just to try to get it to move I mean that's what you need the counterweight counterweight for the toast I haven't tried to slice it yet but I wonder if it would work on the print mill that's a good question I'll give that a go or you can give it a go too and then we could just spit out endless toasters just to line it up you should set it on its side or something and then just print a normal size toaster but with like 12 foot long toast just just walk you like this way oh yeah someone says we need the banana for scale we did forget the banana for scale I apologize I know Tom's watching 3D print llama made an awesome banana for scale someone else says does it have to be functional yes it has to be functional it doesn't do us any good if you just put a giant mess yeah yeah I mean so for scale I mean this is in my hand this is regular 100% and then if Sven shows you his I think that was how big was your big one there this one here see I was limited by the fact that when it's printed obviously you've got reasonably wide print as well as long so it's kind of almost square so even if you've got a I've got a 210x297 A4 size printer and the limit was the width so it's probably only at about 150% 150% so currently Sven is the record holder for the large print I'm sure briefly I held the record I'm really curious to see how big people can go I'm really excited to see what you guys come up with those would be good I am equally we've been talking about this for a long time and ever since we saw the first one we've been doing the prototypes and I was just like I can't wait to release this when should we release this and I was like we need to do it on the one year anniversary that would be perfect just so everybody knows Nightbot has been tossing that link out and I just realized right now it wasn't the right link for the giveaway it is now but I'm going to drop that in the chat right now so if you have not signed up for the winner or the $50 gift card the right link is in the chat now that's right so at the end of the stream guys for anybody that joined us late we're going to be not only giving away our normal $50 gift card thanks to Thangs.com but also an Ender 3v2 courtesy of our friends Luxen Watts say that again it's Luxen Watts L-U-X-N-W-A-T-T-S Luxen Watts you can find him on Amazon fantastic I got to ask can you hang out with me thank you has anyone actually said that yet not on stream to us officially officially but the chat the chat has but thank you we appreciate that and we would not rather have anybody mastermind behind the torture toasters that's all we need to know and about a bajillion other amazing 300s what led to this is a plethora a huge drop box full of prints that you guys need to check out but you only can do that through his Patreon so do it I promise it's worth every penny but I have to ask we have like a few hot makes are you going to stick around for hot makes tonight before we do that though looking at the torture toaster now is there anything you would have changed see it changed a lot along the way so all the things that I would have changed I already did so I think the only thing that I would if I was doing it again I would probably come up with a completely different but equally ridiculous concept you know something that combines silliness with something that's just so mundane as a toaster but I think that's one thing that would be consistent if I did it again it would be something that would be equally as just plain old ridiculous as a concept because that's the best thing right you know taking silly concepts really seriously so which is kind of describes most of what I did and there's so much I mean so much technically that has to happen for this to work inside that I I love that test printing a torture test its own special kind of fun I gotta tell you I was impressed because the file I got said V24 so there were obviously 23 other iterations prior to this I mean I hope it wasn't ever frustrating to you I mean obviously what you do is a labor of love and being an artist that you are I'm sure that you aspire to you know get things as close to as perfect before you ready to release them as possible so there's no reason why you can't just keep going until you're happy I mean it can be hard to draw a line in things sometimes but when there's just one little thing you look at and you think that's not right you know there's something there that's catching or there's the tolerance there needs to be a little bit different or that's too loose or that's too tight there's no reason not to change it other than that feeling occasionally like it's never going to end but those ones are the ones that are really satisfying to finally finish so I would describe that as you know describe this one as very much in that category where you know yes it's a bit of a grim death march at some points along the way but when you finally get there it's just like I can't believe I'm at the other end and some of the conversation we had along the way was one of the things that stands out to me is that you were like I have to remember this is a torture test it's not meant to be perfect every time because a lot of your prints are made so you can drop this on like any of your your bases are meant to drop it on and they hopefully print perfect every time where in this case it's a torture test and the idea is you put out as close to a perfect model as you can and then hopefully people can print it you know well I spend all my time I mean I have various printers that are set up with default settings and default slicing that I test print on and I try to anticipate problems and design around them and it's really hard not to do that it just becomes second nature and you forget that you know the reason why you tend to design things a certain way is because you're mitigating some risk with things you know catching here or whatever you know no make it look bless well so it is totally a thing I love it well we definitely appreciate it I mean I literally I can't thank you enough for putting this out for us and hopefully there wasn't too many sleepless nights but if anyone out there is going to print this and watch the social medias because all the links are going out soon if you're going to print this just don't forget it's on the back tag hot makes tag clock spring and things don't forget things because they said next week we're going to do a $50 gift card for the largest so I can't wait to see I mean Ivan Miranda is dying to print this no he will I'll bet you he will man he's got that big one I can't wait to see him run it on his giant one I suspect this is going to this is going to be an instant classic and we're going to see these all over the place it would be great if it achieved the ubiquity that is Benchy it's not quite as quick a printer as Benchy but it's way more useful this is a tool this is a tool and it's art yes it'll also float in your bathtub well maybe don't take it to us in the bathtub guys this is one of the most satisfied it really is I don't know it's just you just want to play with it right it's just like I'll be lying if I said I haven't spent months just doing this yeah yeah so it's not only an awesome clock spring print a torture test it's a all around awesome print and a fidget toy what more could you ask what else it's like the 5 in 1 things just let's see let me go back here 50 for the largest 50 for the smallest and 50 just because we love the stream holy crap we love you too thanks you guys are amazing Miss Tang must be running that show we have so much fun and we're going to make sure we get the model up on things there just remember if you see it anywhere else if it didn't come from clock spring or is it going to be knockoffs, torture toasters torture test make sure it's the clock spring official torture toasters it says it on the back I mean when you print if it doesn't say clock spring it's not official so Sven I got a question for you I think last time we talked you had mentioned that you really haven't gotten into multi-material there were a couple people requesting they were like oh it'd be so cool if you could have different color toast and stuff like that I think you said you have a palette but you hadn't really used it maybe or was it the MMU you had or am I making this up? No I probably mentioned that I have a dual extrusion machine sitting over there but I did get myself a palette last week so these things may happen that's exciting I love it I can't wait to see what you do with that I mean I watch your pretty much watch your posts religiously like every week and I think the newest thing you posted the new battery storage with the twist on thing and I I think like two weeks ago I just printed the other one and I saw that one and I was like nah I gotta print this one now alright well there's that there are a whole bunch of variations on that sitting just over there waiting for me to take photos and post it's a thing of union can we have one that has double A's and triple A's at the same time so that's what I'm bringing you to watch out for right you release something that's useful to people and then they're like hey now can I have this now can I have this now can I have this which is great and I do try to accommodate where possible there's also four versions sitting over there that will print on a mini as well that will fit in that 180 ml space so that was a very common question it's like will this fit on a mini so there's a compact version or there will be very soon but that's the great thing about 3D printing is you can just go oh we can change it sometimes occasionally I'll get requests for things like can you change this mechanical model so it has completely different dimensions it won't work these things are fundamentally connected there are constraints here I love it I can't wait to see what people do what filament they use the smallest, the biggest even just functional ones because as we all probably know it takes a few tries sometimes if you don't have everything dialed in that's what the torture part is so that's cool someone just said I just did the strawberry that was awesome print I know for a long time I know for a long time there's a bunch of us we're doing these and this is officially my new favorite base it's so hypnotic especially in that silk filament what filament is that that's lovely this is actually an Arian silk blue so it just I would say cheap but cheap silk Arian filament it really shines and everything came out really nice I've done maybe like six of these now when my house floods there's going to be about two dozen earlier versions of that floating down the street look at this Photos Mint another amazing contributor he just had he's up late he just had a baby girl he doesn't sleep and then he heads with me for being up late well he's like he's just a machine he's just constantly producing amazing stuff for the community he is a wizard welcome Photos while we're here we got maybe like six hotmakes let's jump into those ladies and gentlemen how about some hotmakes let's do it just thought of something I wonder what Geary thinks of the torture toaster it's kind of his cousin yeah what do you think Geary I think when you were showing the ill prints earlier of the geared portions I think that was a little bit too much gore for this family friendly show hey old hey old Sven I don't know if you met our AI Geary I don't know if we had him when you were last on but you know we I was in the prototype stages how can I not love a cog with googly eyes he's Clippy's cousin he's actually related to old Microsoft Outlook Clippy and he's also in version 26 yeah Geary version 26 you never know he's getting snarkier as he ages alright well what we're looking at now is Carl over at Knack 3D Designs I have to say thank you so much to Carl he hooked me up with some awesome help I got my print mail printing and now you know we can do sweet swords and way better cool stuff but this is one of the first things that I finally got printed this was this is the Creole one and I actually printed the white knight sword which I can't reach it's right out of my reach right here but thank you so much Carl but you know when Joel does that like shoulder hold right on his on his boxes especially everyone was doing it with a 3D print mail so Carl steps it up and he says he sees your shoulder hold and raises you a full Jedi levitation and this is not a small box that's a Sidewinder X1 that he's levitating right there you know what was funny my favorite comment on this was Tom Sedlander had commented he's like I've been staring at this thing way too long just trying to figure out exactly how you did it because I'm looking at it and I'm like well there's obviously a 3D rendering happening but you know there's some actual you see reflection off the tape and there's a shadow on Carl's head so you know he spent a little time with this no one did you see this this is awesome so nobody disclosed the magic behind because that's the fun part but Carl nice work I love that gift I think everybody needs to take this and then like remove the box and just let's just spread that around we just use Carl and you know yeah sure oh he says no 3D render hey that's pretty good that's straight up invisible string yeah do you think so alright what do we got next I know we're short-ish on time we have giveaways to do too Chris Travis printed the spaghetti detective by Wexger and printed solid Jesse marble man are you familiar with the spaghetti detective have you seen this software I have no idea what this is so what you're talking about yeah so this is actually so the spaghetti detective is actually I believe it's a is it a plug in for octoprint plug in for octoprint that when your when your printer messes up and you know you get the spaghetti sometime like the camera will detect that you've got a failed print and it will print for you so instead of keeping making that mess or potentially you know globbing up the hot end or any of that stuff so and then this is their mascot now the spaghetti detective who I think looks spiculously like Carmen San Diego where is Carmen San Diego anyway but I like it it's a good model yeah and I love marble filament I don't know Sven you've ever have you ever printed with marble filament before oh I love that I wish there were more you know shades and an option for marble I love I love the way the speckles hide the lines agreed big fan of marble filament but there isn't enough out there agreed more marble everybody you hear that filament makers I'm thinking there better be a marble torture toaster coming soon on a nice marble countertop and marble yeah put it on your marble countertop next to a jar of marbles in a marble quarry in a marble all right what do we got next Lyle Moses he teased this the other day he got a monster box showed up and and there was a whole bunch of really funny and long theories on what this was and and one of them was naturally it had to be a skull and horns right sure seems like a yeah it's like a bull bull horns or something right well if you haven't seen this that's not what it was it was actually it was a look at that it was a gator it's the gator off the CR 30 I think oh no way yeah and painted now Sven you don't have a do you have a CR 30 Sven ask me in about two weeks you're familiar oh oh it's going on the way look at that oh you got to rub its belly they like it when you do that I mean everybody needs a full size gator I'm not sure if this was printed on the CR 30 I'll have to go look but that doesn't look like a print even I wouldn't have guessed I mean I know there was that gator print going around but that doesn't it's too wide to be off the CR 30 unless it's in pieces glued I didn't hear the details on but that's a good gator loyal is super happy to have it I know there was in the comments if you go check this out builders mark I believe is who sent it yeah he's the one that sent it right and someone tagged it hot makes and he said you would be happy to be on hot makes well of course that's a hot make it's a giant alligator Sven's unimpressed they see him they see crocs all the time probably some outside in my flooded street so and that's normal in Australia I'm sure totally just gotta step on the way to the subway gator to huts gator to huts delicious all right what do we got next my drum thing actually matched up with your sound because that would be cool gary we meant to do that that's our AI at work real time speaking of Steven the lightspeed I know he said he's gonna print the biggest torture toaster we're holding you to that Steven but I had to bring this up because you're gonna be on the show for one for two because everybody was printing these bases and I just showed mine a little bit ago this one was done at point six layers on a one millimeter nozzle I just think that I love about this is that I saw this one and I could tell immediately one mil nozzle because the way that the top it pinches in like that because I printed one on one because everyone knows that one mil nozzle bars mode prints are the best prints so look at that that is so cool love those thick ropey layers my friend those are awesome that is fantastic I gotta ask how do you visualize like when you were going for this like you know what there needs to be something in set and that texture that you inlaid there with it's almost perfect for 3d printing right because it it harkens to you know the extrusion lines and but it's just so visually appealing yeah believe it or not that one is actually completely generated in code that's that's in open escad so it's all just maths it's all just geometry and it's just you know modified sine waves and things and yeah there was another one that was developed over time initially did you see one I did recently was a vase where I had kind of an inner thing that had some lines and lines that went against them yeah it was it came from that and trying to emulate that in bars mode but bars mode you really have some limitations around like you have to avoid pockets and things and the moment you have things overlapping it's really easy to get little pockets and so it was an evolution of trying to avoid those problems which ended up with these sort of outer lines and these big inner lines that became smaller in the lines which became inner lines that didn't curve in anymore because that formed pockets and eventually it ended up like that I love it and then what's funny is I did a little short one and I used it as a bowl at work you know it's just the base like this tall right and then you came out with a bowl so that actually started off as a bowl but that vase originally was only so I had a similar sort of rim on the top and it was yeah kind of about a third of the way up and that was what it was but I decided that I wanted it to pinch in like that because that always looks cool see Sven's models are like the weather if you don't like it just wait 30 minutes and it'll change I mean you never know what you're going to get it can be a toaster I mean you are like literally you're called clock springer I was going to say you're like clockwork with your release schedule it seems you're just like do you have a pace that you try to stick to do you like are you trying to do it once a week or it's just whatever the question recently you know how has 3D printing changed your life and my response to that was I used to sleep so yeah it's yeah and I constantly I mean I have a pipeline of things so I've always got stuff that didn't go in the ideas phase I've got stuff test printing although not at the moment because we're doing this so I had to pause everything but the moment we stop things will start up again and I've got stuff sitting over there that needs to be photographed and write up and that's the biggest issue is that I want to spend all my time designing but I have to actually release things as well which does take time and effort so I try to just you know make sure that I allocate time for each part of the process and keep things rolling a lot so just stuff on the way awesome all right what we got next toy love somewhat wife what is that wow how come you haven't made a large one for yourself me that's a good point haha challenge accepted challenge accepted and then here's some pictures of it as we go look at the painting detail some people

is a general business degree worth it. That's what we're gonna be talking about today, but before we get into that, make sure to gently tap the like button in order to defeat the evil YouTube algorithm. On this channel, we talk about personal finance, college degrees, careers, and opportunities that are gonna lead you to success. And we also go over some of the common financial traps that so many people end up falling for. So if that sounds like something that interests you and you haven't done it already, go ahead and hit that subscribe button and ring the notification bell so that you never miss out. So a general business degree is basically exactly what it sounds like.  You're not gonna specialize in one specific area, so you won't be an expert in that area. You're kinda gonna be just a business generalist. Now around 25,000 people graduate with this degree every year, and that's quite a bit. So we're gonna go over this degree and we're gonna talk about some of the most important things.  So first of all, let's talk about salary. A general business degree, you're gonna expect to make around $47,000 a year starting out and $83,000 in mid-career pay. Now it's hard to say what career specifically you're gonna go into with a general business degree, but when you look at all business-related careers in general, according to BLS, they make around $69,000 a year, which is much higher than the average of $39,000. Now again, this is a very general business degree, so there's so many different career paths that people could potentially go down, but according to BLS, a lot of people end up becoming accountants or budget analysts. Accountants make around $71,000 a year and budget analysts make around $76,000. In my video I did where I talked about the degrees that create the most millionaires, business major or business-related degrees came out about six out of the top 10.  A lot of people talk down on business majors, but they're actually some of the best majors out there when you look at the numbers. And there's a very good chance that as a business degree graduate, especially after a few years of learning skills and getting some real-world experience, there's a very good chance that you're gonna start your own business. And studies have shown that small business owners do end up making quite a bit more than people who have a normal nine to five job.  Either way, you're gonna have a lot of flexibility when it comes to getting a business degree and that's one of the big strengths. According to the last US census, business-related degrees on average over a lifetime will earn around $2.6 million, whereas all degrees in general earn around 2.4 million. However, you see the ones that go into business will make around 2.8 million and the ones who go into management will make around 3.3 million. And this of course doesn't count the fact that many of them will go on to start their own businesses in the future. You also see that they do well pretty much no matter what industry they end up going into. And this is because business degrees are so flexible like I mentioned before. So overall, I'm gonna give the salary slash earnings scores, you know, earnings if you end up becoming an entrepreneur, about nine out of 10. Next, we're gonna be talking about satisfaction. This is one of the most important things that you wanna think about. According to ZIP recruiter, those who get a business-related degrees are the second least likely to experience regret. Only about 15% of people who get a business degree regret their choice, but very important to mention here, the number one reason for regret is that it's too general. The skills you learn in a lot of these business-related degrees are a little bit general. You're not learning any specialized skills in one's particular industry or anything like that. Now, when it comes to satisfaction, I like to talk about two things specifically. And that is job satisfaction and then also meaning. Job satisfaction is pretty self-explanatory. If you have a really fun job that you absolutely love doing, you're gonna have a lot of job satisfaction. That doesn't necessarily mean you're gonna have a lot of meaning, though. Meaning is how much you think your job positively contributes to the world. So the example I always use is maybe you get a job playing video games professionally that would have high job satisfaction, but it might not necessarily have high meaning. Whereas if you got a job as a garbage man, you might have high meaning, but it wouldn't necessarily have high job satisfaction. Both of these things are very important to take into consideration. And of course, it's gonna be different for everybody. For some people, one will matter more than the other. So when it comes to meaning, a general business degree is gonna have a 52% meaning score, meaning 52% of the people who got this degree think that the job that they went down, the career path that they went down, ended up significantly positively impacting the world. Compare this to one of the highest on the list, which is radiation therapy at 91%, and one of the lowest on the list, which is gonna be plastics engineering technology at 31%. Overall, it is slightly above average when it comes to a meaning score, which is a good thing. One career path you might go down is becoming a business operations specialist. They have a job satisfaction score of about 69% according to pay scale, which again, is on the higher side. Nothing here really jumps off the page though, especially when it comes to a business related degree. It's honestly not super impressive. So overall, I'm gonna give this one a score of seven out of 10 when it comes to satisfaction. Now, next we're gonna be talking about demand and business related professions in general do tend to have decent demand. According to BLS, business and financial related occupations are going to be growing at about 5% over the next 10 years, which is above average. When you look up the keyword general business degree on monster.com, you'll see that around 80,000 of the job listings have this as a keyword in their description. If you compare that to an excellent degree like computer science, for instance, they have around 141,000 job offerings. And if you compare that to a degree that's well known to not have very many jobs like anthropology, there's only about 829. So of course that little test isn't perfect, but generally speaking, that's a good sign that there are quite a few jobs out there. Now, if you look at the number of jobs out there in general in terms of careers and jobs that companies are actually hiring for, you will see that engineering degrees, business degrees and computer science degrees are almost always gonna come out on top. So that's a good sign, but unfortunately the problem here is when you look a little bit closer you'll see that a general business degree is not gonna be one of the types of business degrees that is really coveted. Finance and accounting are gonna be much higher up on the list. So overall, I'm gonna give this one a seven out of 10 rating when it comes to demand. In general, it's above average, but when you compare it to the other business-related degrees it's not gonna be quite as good. And I think the reason for this is because it's just so general. You're not really learning anything specific and that's what companies want. They want you to have specific skills. If you were having surgery on your heart you would want a heart surgeon to perform that surgery. You wouldn't want just a general doctor. And it's the same thing for most businesses. They want somebody who's specialized in a specific area to do a specific job. Next one on the list is going to be X factors. And this could be anything from the skills that you learn when you're getting the degree to how easily it will be automated or how flexible the degree is in general. So when it comes to X factors, business degrees in general usually score very high. And the reason for this is because they're extremely flexible. Think about it. As a business degree graduate you can get a job with just about any company and just about any industry and there's a ton of different career paths that you can go down. On top of that the skills that you learn will likely prepare you to open your own business in the future if that's the direction that you wanna go. Business degrees also pair extremely well with other types of degrees. You can combine a business degree in double major or dual major in all kinds of different types of degrees like technology, mathematics, et cetera. There's a lot of types of degrees out there that don't really pair together all that well but when it comes to business degrees they're synergistic with just about anything else. So like I mentioned before you are going to make more with a business related degree over a lifetime than you will with most other types of degrees. The only ones that beat out business when it comes to earnings over a lifetime with your salary are gonna be engineering and computer science and math. And like I mentioned before when I did the video on the degrees that create the most millionaires business related degrees did hold six out of the top 10 spots and I don't think salary actually has a lot to do with that. I think it has a lot more to do with the fact that business related majors tend to learn skills at a much younger age that are going to be good for you throughout your entire lifetime when it comes to personal finance. Skills like budgeting, saving and investing are things that you pretty much have to learn in any business related degree and you have to learn it at a young age. And then on top of that a lot of business majors do end up going on to starting their own business after they've gotten a few years of experience. Overall the skills that you end up learning when you get a business related degree tend to be extremely highly valued on the market. Zip recruiter did a skills index where they basically figured out which skills are most valued by companies and a lot of the ones on the list are business related. Things like project planning and business process management ranked around 86 out of 100 whereas the most valuable skill which is software engineering ranked 88 out of 100. When it comes to a very general business degree like this though you want to make sure that you either take extra classes, do internships, things like that so that you learn specific skills in whatever area that you're trying to go for. Another thing to keep in mind is there are a lot of careers out there that are going to be automated in the next 20 to 30 years. I think with a business degree you are somewhat future proof just because of the fact that even if your specific job gets automated the skills that you learn with a business degree and the skills that you learn when you're working that job are going to translate to other types of careers. Business does have a really good combination of both hard and soft skills which kind of leads to you being a little bit future proof. Business operations specialist for instance only about 23% chance that it gets automated. So one of the pros of getting a general business degree is there's all kinds of different career paths that you can go down. There's so many different specializations. With a general business degree you can work for just about any business in the world and this would also be a great degree for you to double major in and pair it with another degree. Some of the cons here are the lack of specialization is really bad.  Business degrees are already general enough you can work for just about any company and any industry and work for all kinds of different types of careers. So the fact that this is a general business degree and business degrees are already general in the first place is a huge downside. Overall, I'm gonna give this one a score of 7.75 out of 10. That's gonna be good when you compare it to all different types of degrees but when you compare it to other types of business degrees it's definitely not one of the best. With this one I would highly recommend maybe double majoring in a different type of degree or taking extra classes on the side. You're definitely gonna wanna figure out exactly what career path that you wanna go down and then reverse engineer it, figure out what steps you need to take in order to get there. A lot of the time this is gonna involve getting an internship so that you can learn specific skills in that industry or that career.

Hello Earth citizens. In this video, I will show you how to do a 10 minute routine for your second chakra. First of all, your second chakra is located two inches below your belly button and imagine two inches inside in the center of your body.  So someone with a healthy second chakra have a lot of creative energy. They also have good relationships with themselves and good relationships with others. While someone with unhealthy energy in their second chakra might experience low levels of energy, low drive, some issues with their sex life, some issues with their own relationships with themselves and relationships with others. So typically people who hold a lot of grudges, hold a lot of resentment, hold a lot of regrets, emotions that affect relationships with themselves and other people have some issues in their second chakra. So in this video, I'm going to show you some exercises to release some stuck and heavy energy that may be in your second chakra. Okay, so we're going to start by lying down on the floor. Okay, so lie down on the floor with your knees bent like this, feet flat on the floor, feet shoulder width apart. If you can see, my feet are not together, my feet are shoulder width apart, arms by your side, palms facing up forward. And we're going to gently bounce your sacrum area like this. The sacrum is a very important place to help open up your second chakra. A lot of the times because we sit down for a long period of time, this area is blocked. If the backside is blocked, the front side is blocked and everything is blocked. So we're going to start by lightly tapping your sacrum. You can close your eyes if it helps you focus on your body better, if it helps you feel your body better. Relax your sacrum, relax your pelvis, bounce, let's bounce 50 times. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, feel your sacrum and tailbone. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, twenty, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, thirty, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, forty, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, fifty, stop.  As you twist your lower back, breathe, whoo. Now switch, drop your knees to the other side, look the other way, twist and breathe, whoo, feel the deep stretch in your lower back. One more time, switch. As you exhale, imagine all the heavy energy in your sacrum, releasing out through your breath. One more time, switch. Okay, return to center. We're going to do the same thing again 50 times. This time try to feel if there's even a slight difference this round compared to the first round, okay? All right, relax your hips, relax your sacrum, tap. Keep your feet shoulder width apart, flat on the floor 50 times. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, nine, 10, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 20, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 30, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 40, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 50, great job. Stay here. Can you feel some tingling sensation coming from your tailbone and sacrum out to your hands, out to your abdomen, out to other parts of your body? Maybe you can feel some heat forming in that area. Focus on that area and try to feel any kind of heat, magnetism, tingling sensation there. Breathe deeply into your lower belly. Now breathe in through your nose. Exhale out. Drop your knees to one side and look the other way. Exhale. Relax your whole body. Breathe into your lower belly. Exhale. Return. Switch. Other direction. Inhale. Exhale. Return one more time. Drop. Return. Switch. Okay, return to center. Now slowly turn your body to the left side and sit up, please. As a note, that's a very good exercise to do for women who get menstrual cramps. If you loosen up that sacrum area by doing tapping against the floor, it will really help you circulate energy that is causing menstrual cramps. All right, now let's continue. Place your hands on your knees. We're going to rotate our waist, okay? So drop, stretch as far down as you can into the side and back. Feel the rotation in your waist. One, two. You should feel the stretching in all angles of the circle. Three, four. Make sure you are breathing. And five. Rotate other direction. One. Can you feel your waist? Stretch deeply. Four. Last one. And five. Okay, great job. Now twist. Twist from your midsection. Breathe. Hoo. Hoo. Great job. And stop. Now let's tap the front side of our abdomen. Make your hands into a fist and seal the top of your fist with your thumbs, with your pinky side. I want you to tap that second chakra area two inches below your navel. And imagine you are tapping through the skin into the center of your body. Like this. Relax your shoulders. No tapping like this. Relax your shoulders. You can close your eyes too. Straighten your spine.   The area that you're tapping. Focus your attention right in that center point. Tap here for one minute. For one minute, totally focus your mind through the center of your body, your second chakra. As you tap here, relax parts of your body that you feel are tight. For example, your shoulders, your arms, chest, even your gut. You might find yourself tensing your gut area when you tap. Relax that area so energy can move more freely. The benefit of tapping here is to release stagnant energy that is in your gut area and also by focusing on the center of your body, you are bringing your energy down here. Where the mind goes, energy follows. And where energy follows, it accumulates. 30 more seconds. Forget to breathe. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2. Massage your abdomen clockwise. Slowly open your eyes. How do you feel?  If you're very sensitive to energy, you might still feel some tingling on the backside from the tapping that we did earlier. Of course, 10 minutes is not very long. So I recommend doing this routine again to feel even deeper benefits, even deeper awakenings. A lot of us hold a lot of attention here for many different reasons, from sitting down, from emotional components, from diet, so many things that cause this second chakra midsection area, to be blocked. So I recommend doing this again so that you can keep opening, keep opening, and keep opening deeper. You did a great job.

Because it honestly looks like to us, Giga is carved in this spot and we are not fully sure. So I'm posting it here to have you guys help me. Do you see a GI on the left side of the three and a GA on the right side of the three, right on that lit up section? If you see the white highlight underneath the three, it almost looks like Giga is like carved in there slightly. So here's the freeze frame. And at first you're kind of like, wait, what am I looking at? Well, let me tell you, you're looking at a zero G roll or a zero G stall. We're not sure yet. It also looks like it may confirm that there's an MCBR after the exit on the tunnel. Again, we're not fully sure yet because it is blurred, but this definitely looks like an inversion and it looks like it is over vortex. Now, a few things to note is it looks like it's suggesting that this inversion is extremely tall and this is a zero G stall or roll, whatever the two it ends up being and it's directly over vortex. And you can tell by the kind of like viewpoint of it, it's extremely high.


Okay, yeah, we had a good group out there to defend that first possession. We kind of really read what they were trying to do called timeout. They were able to drop another play, pretty good play to get the ball to Jimmy Butler's hands. The biggest thing about that possession is Royce covers for his teammate. And so he comes over, Yuta doesn't foul, Kai doesn't foul, Royce is vertical at the rim and we lived with the results which was in our favor tonight. Yeah, you know, he didn't finish the game and just right knee. He'll get evaluated tomorrow and then hopefully I'll have some more info from you. Yeah, most likely Brian will include imaging just to make sure we're good. Yeah, just pretty much he dapped up everybody coming to the locker room. I just said I wish we'd got the rebound on that play and I said heck of a win with the group and that was about it. I did not like inquire about the knee or anything. Don't want to speculate, I'm gonna knock on some wood and see what happens tomorrow. Yeah, I mean you never want to see him go down like that and any player for that matter and so pretty hard collision but you know you got to give our group credit for staying with it. I think we were down, I don't know, eight or nine to finish the game and to stay together pretty impressive. Being down nine against a good team, what do you think that says about this team that you guys had the resiliency to you know stick through something like that maybe as compared to years past? Yeah, it was great too and then you talk about the guys who contributed through that stretch you know whether it was Seth who made some big shots for us whether it's Yuta being on the floor and we kind of talked about that before the game today is a lot of guys have been in put in different positions to you know help the team and another opportunity and job well done for all those guys really who finish and sustain through that stretch showed a lot of resilience and a lot of resolve to stay together. And then you have that shot seen it before where he just is the right spot you talked about the rebounding but what did you see on that on that play and what can you just say about Royce and his rebounding ability? Yeah and I told him I thought that he had the offense rebound previously before that too there was a little collision I thought he was on the inside so he was at the right place on that possession and then you just count on him to do the right thing and be in the right place I think he's just garnered the trust of his teammates and the the confidence of his teammates and a lot of big possessions man that's a physical team top 10 defensive team and you know we held them to 37 points in the second half so that shows a lot. I mean did you think at all when you got when Kyrie comes in down the floor and takes that shot with whatever it takes I mean did you have any thought about calling time out to draw something up or just let him play? No we just had one left right then so I definitely wanted to put it in his hands and just let him play he was kind of thinking along what I was thinking didn't want another double team which where they were doing at the end of the game and then I figured he could get a shot off and so definitely wanted the basketball in his hand and not call time out. The cost is about teachers minutes and having him help to play us and everything I mean did you when Kevin went out given that the way he was scoring early on that you thought about putting him in more just for more offense out there or kind of riding the hot hand like you talked about? Yeah it was a little bit of a combination of what group was going to be out there to help us at that time so they were really being aggressive with Ky so we needed another ball handler in the game that's how Seth came into play then for the ability because they were trapping we put you to in the corner hopefully he get an open three and stretch the floor for us he was pretty solid defensively and so that was kind of the rationale by finishing with that group. Poetry and have you ever used poetry to you know build team camaraderie? Oh more so for myself they probably think I'm not hip enough if I break out some poetry so that's something that for me that's been good for me love reading love just getting better


Hello and welcome to another episode. I'm Rivka Slatkin. I'm Shloma Slatkin and welcome to the Marriage Restoration Project Channel. Today you are going to learn why weekly marriage counseling does not work for the most part. And what you can do instead, how to get the outcome you desire for your marriage without doing weekly therapy. So let's jump right in Shlomo. You've helped thousands of couples online, in person, through your marriage intensive retreats. Why do you think marriage counseling once a week, like the typical way of doing it, doesn't really work? Well, in order for a relationship to thrive and for counseling to really work, both people have to be committed. And the problem is, a lot of times, if the relationship is such a bad place, it's hard to be committed. What am I being committed to? How can I actually see that things would be better? So if you have a couple come for a week, for a therapy session, it could be your only chance to really get them in the door, especially if you have an unwilling spouse. So let's say you have a 50 minute session or even an hour and a half session. So yes, it could be enough, but most of the time it's not. You really need someone who is already committed in advance to come semi-regularly just to even give it a chance to see if the relationship could work. So you're already kind of at a disadvantage by doing that. Whereas if you're doing something more intense where it's a retreat, like we do, we do two days, you have someone committing to working two days. So by the time we've done two days, you have a pretty good chance of clarity about whether you want to be in this relationship, if it could be better, and what you want. I could see why maybe the spouse that's a little bit more non-committal wouldn't really want to schlep things out and go weekly, especially if not all the sessions are great, and they don't really see enough of a change after each session. Is that what you're describing? Yes, you don't see enough of a change sometimes. Sometimes you could have a bad week, and then you're at risk for the less committed spouse not to come back, and then you're done. So that's why it's kind of risky, especially if you're in a crisis situation. I think we're also going to follow up with a video on how to get your reluctant spouse to come with you to counseling. And this would be probably the first tip we would have for you to get your reluctant spouse to come along, is go for the one-off, really deep transformational experience that's more intensive than a 50-minute session one time once a week. It's going to be a lot harder. If you're in crisis, there's a lot to work through. And what I found is that, interestingly, even one time normally I do these two days in a row, and occasionally I'll space it out. For one couple, I made an exception. I would do three hours one day, three hours maybe another day that week, and then maybe the following week really broke it up too much. And what happened is we would make progress, even in three hours, we made progress, and then something happens during the week, and they come back, and now there's the next crisis. Almost like triage. Right, so the guy was willing to move back in, and then by the next time, no, I don't want to move back in. So we're kind of wasting time triaging the latest crisis without actually going deeper or accomplishing anything. So all the more so in a weekly session, 50 minutes.  You're talking about you have two people that need to talk. And then something else happens during the week. You can't even continue the work that you left off. This is really why we changed our practice years ago. We stopped doing weekly marriage counseling, because number one, Shlomo kept having to do the triage. Number two, we really wanted to provide couples with a total marriage turnaround. And we could only do that in an intensive experience, two days that are consecutive, where couples are coming in and working on things at a very deep level.  They know, is there light at the end of the tunnel? Is there not? If there is, I'm ready to commit. And once they're ready to commit, we have follow-up sessions, the regular, you know, the weekly therapy sessions, but the resistance is gone. They're already on board. They're already ready to do the work. And it's much, much more productive. And that's why we really, we get a lot of calls. Like, could you just see us for maybe one time? Can we try it out? And we really don't offer that unless a couple has been through the intensive private group retreat experience, private or group retreat experience. Right, because you really understand it. Otherwise, you don't really get a feel whether it's going to be helpful. And then if this was your only chance, then it's gone. Yeah. So please like, comment and share this video so that way more couples find out about why weekly marriage counseling really just isn't enough to fix your marriage at a deep transformational level. We also would love to give you our 60-second plan to a happy and healthy marriage. It's what we did 20 years ago to save our own marriage. And we promise it's easy. It's something you can use right now to shift the energy in your home. So thank you so much for watching. And again, please like, comment and share this video so you can be notified of the next time we drop a video. Take good care. Bye-bye.


Let's look in the vault. From the vault. So I'm gonna play two fast videos. It's ESP32 Pico and the QDPI ESP32 S2, and then we're gonna talk about some of the new stuff we got. Hey Lady, what is this? Hey, I just got some samples of these new ESP32 Pico modules. I got a cut tape of 10 pieces. And what's interesting is I actually didn't realize that these are not the same size as the ESP32 S2 modules. They're like kind of significantly smaller, which is actually good news because, you know, I was talking earlier a few weeks ago, I wanted to make an itsy-bitsy ESP32 and this like will just fit right in between perfectly and not get in the way of the pads. It'll just have to put the silkscreen on the bottom. And then I just need a CP2102 and the power supply. But you know, even if I can't quite fit it here, I can put some parts on the bottom maybe. So I think an itsy-bitsy ESP32 is in the cards and it'll have PSRAM because the Pico comes with two megabytes of PSRAM. So it's kind of cool. So cute. Hey Lady, what is this? This is me testing out prototypes for a new QDPI board. It looks a lot like the ESP32 S2 QDPI that we recently released, but this is the S3. It's a dual core 10 silica 240 megahertz processor with Wi-Fi and BLE. So it has a second core and BLE compared to the S2. This is a really new chip. So support is still like very much in progress, but we do have the beginnings of Circuit Python with Wi-Fi working on it, including some peripherals. So this is me running the Wi-Fi demo. And thanks to Scott, who fixed a couple of hard faults. I can connect to Wi-Fi. I can connect to, you know, GitHub and get the number of GitHub stars. So it's slowly coming up. Still a couple of things to work out, but this new very powerful QDPI is going to be in the store soon. All right. And then you got a new feather. Yes, this is the new ESP32 feather. So it got like a huge redesign with that Pico board now has two megabytes of PSRAM and I think eight megabytes of flash. I think that the Pico has like double, double. And also the USB serial converter can be a CP 2102N or CP 2104. And a stomach QT connector, USB-C.  I kind of cleaned up everything and read it a bunch. Added an extra user button because there was an extra like single pin. A few GPIO had to get shuffled because the Pico doesn't expose every pad, but I think it's worth it. So I'm going to call this the V2. It's a new product, but I think, you know, people should upgrade. It'll probably have a lot more functionality and more power supply options and more memory. Of course, I think it's a worthwhile upgrade. And next up, this is a preview. We have pink GST connectors. Yes, I have to actually try them out. But next time I build a board with GST connectors, I haven't had. We're going to have pink boards with pink GST connectors. We're going to block boards with pink GST connectors. We're going to see which looks best. We're going to try them out and then we're just going to start doing it. Yeah. And that's top secret.
