I really did try it though boys. Goku you know what to do. You know what needs to be done. All right well there you go power scalers. Yamcha is faster than Kyoken times three. How's it going everybody? Datodoi here back with some more Dragon Ball fighters and this time we are playing a team with base Goku. I'm actually really excited about this because I've always liked base Goku from a conceptual level but as a character he was lacking a lot at least for me but now I was watching that great Goku player that I mentioned in my tier list video his name should be on screen uh and I'm just super pumped to be playing this character dude uh hopefully it doesn't go terribly wrong oh good jab we already jabbing okay I'm 2m looking a little long as well we are in already it should be at least a one charge just a one charge for the boy let me get the one charge oh and you missed that was a classic mistake you never should have made it all right all right oh that was sick oh it was too low I kind of felt it was too low but come on dude when you land something like that you gotta you gotta go for it all right we still have one spear bomb charge we should remember that in case we get snapped out okay okay we deflect this deflect that oh dude we were playing decent defense but the reflex we reflected stuff that really didn't matter in the long run uh just like you know went into an assays he had stuff after it coming back out with the base coup but I get it do we spark up do we try to get the pressure back I'd be lying if I said that we weren't feeling the pressure right now snap back again I should I tried to spark and I should have sparked this is goku gt in a nutshell he's got seven bars by the way I don't know why he's still snapping because my dude has a lot of bars is it time no it's not I want off this roller coaster I'm done dude how long did you expect me to play this this game I'll tell you how long you expect me to play this game let's play the game did he know it was coming the oldest trick in the book and he goes back in the corner no he might try to go for the kill here uh is it gonna be enough it might be I don't know that's cutting it close that's cutting it real close bro I'm not gonna make a call wow big lag down it wasn't even that close wow never mind I thought it was a little closer than that I thought we were like maybe one or two final ticks what is with the lag can we can we hold this while we're playing on pc for the reason Jesus we gotta get this connection back there we go four three there we go back in it baby usually on pc the connections are a little better just because everybody's wired in at least that's how it usually goes not gonna kill not even close honestly but I'm not gonna regret it in fact I'm just gonna try and the big bang just in case I jumped in which I did I did you what what I didn't click a button what was that was that the setup oh you knew the back dash was coming okay okay I like that except I don't know I gotta be honest was it was it that obvious was that the correct option okay okay it was the correct option I mean clearly it was a I got decked in the fit six no I can't believe it oh god dude I thought because he was in the air with the big bang I'd have to adjust he wasn't even in the air it didn't even lift him up it was just a it was a lie I tried clicking buttons are we dead here we probably are with the sparking unless he drops it baby in which case second I'm sorry but did he just hit me with the six take that I don't think I could have my hands were off the controller I don't know if I got there in time uh excuse me I'm sorry can we go back did he just hit me with the six out through the guard cancel and to assist I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get the rematch because uh the lag you meet again did I play that he is it's it's familiar his playstyle is familiar it feels weird I didn't want to say anything because I've really talked about it a lot in the other video but he is playing blue Vegeta weird as hell who else but this guy dude wow I did not mean for that to do anything I that I wanted to okay I've sparking was a huge mistake I got a ginormous mistake but it's a mistake that I've made already let's go after that I'm supposed to do a level in spirit ball

Goku was like did you see base Goku looking smug in the back oh now if we build up four bars that's an easy just get him back in here oh I thought that was my Yamcha oh at least base Goku's not in the fray anymore we might get switched out but oh yeah he's definitely coming back oh the Yamcha why what is he are we clicking buttons buttons again I got caught by the Yamcha thing man it has been four

Among the naval innovations pioneered by the Confederacy was the world's first combat submarine, the CSS H. L. Hunley, named after its primary designer, Horace Hunley, who died when the third version of the submarine sank during a test run. But the fourth version of the submarine survived long enough to actually sink a U.S. sloop of war in February of 1864. It was a suicide mission, essentially, as the Hunley sank along with the U.S. blockade ship. A century and a half later, on August 8, 2000, the Hunley was recovered. With the submarine finally on dry land once again, archaeologists found the skeletal remains of the eight crew members of the submarine, including the remains of its commander, Lieutenant George Dixon. In his pocket, they found a gold coin. The coin was bent, and on it was an inscription that read, quote, Shiloh, April 6, 1862, my life preserver, G.E.D., end quote. Nearly two years before he was killed, George Dixon was a sergeant at the Battle of Shiloh. His girlfriend had given him the gold piece before the war. During the Battle of Shiloh, Dixon took a bullet to the hip, but the bullet was deflected by the coin. The coin became bent, and the bullet ricocheted upwards and pierced Dixon's hip, giving him a far less severe injury than he otherwise would have suffered. Dixon believed the coin saved his life, so he had the words inscribed on it, and he carried it with him for the rest of the war, until he actually did die with the sinking of the Hunley. The coin is now in display along with the rest of the Hunley at the Warren Lash Conservation Center at Clemson University. I'm Chris Calton, and this is the Mises Institute podcast, Historical Controversies. We've just finished up our look at Grant's victories at Fort Henry and Donelson, as well as the Union victory in Arkansas during the Battle of Peeridge, but the next major battle would make all of those that came before it look like child's play. Some historians claim that the Battle of Shiloh, also known as the Battle of Pittsburgh Landing, had more casualties in it than the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812 and the Mexican-American War put together. This does not seem to be accurate, but it isn't far from the truth. It hardly diminishes the significance of the Battle of Shiloh to acknowledge that here, in a single battle, you had more American casualties than not only any previous battle in American history, but in the previous war, the Mexican-American War, which was the war that most Americans at this point had in mind coming into the Civil War. So this would become the point of reference that other bloody battles would be compared to. This is the battle that opened the door for total war. In today's episode, we will look at the events that led up to the Battle of Shiloh. After the capture of Fort Henry and Donelson, Ulysses S. Grant was a hero in the North, but he wasn't beloved by everybody. On March 3rd, Grant's immediate superior, Henry Halleck, sent a telegram to the Union's General-in-Chief, George McClellan. Halleck had nothing but complaints about Grant. He wrote, quote, I have had no communication with General Grant for a week. He left his command without my authority and went to Nashville. His army seems as much demoralized by the victory at Fort Donelson as was that of the Army of the Potomac by the defeated Bull Run. It is hard to censure a successful general immediately after a victory, but I think he richly deserves it. Satisfied with his victory, he sits down and enjoys it without any regard to the future. I am worn out and tired with this neglect and inefficiency. But Charles Smith is almost the only officer equal to the emergency, end quote. I mentioned in the episodes on Fort Henry and Donelson that Halleck didn't trust Grant and wanted to replace him with Grant's former teacher in current subordinate General Charles Smith. Halleck started off skeptical of Grant, who had a reputation for being a drunk, but you would think that recent victories would have increased his opinion of Grant. The effect was the opposite. A few days after the telegram I just read, Halleck sent McClellan another one saying, quote, word has just reached me that since the taking of Fort Donelson, General Grant has resumed his former bad habits, end quote. The former bad habit, of course, was alcohol consumption. McClellan was more than familiar with Grant's former reputation as a drunk, and he wrote back to Halleck, quote, your dispatch of last evening received. The future's success of our cause demands that proceedings such as Grant should at once be checked. General's must observe discipline as well as private soldiers, do not hesitate to arrest him at once if the good of the service requires it, and place Charles Smith in command. You are at liberty to regard this as a positive order if it will smooth your way, end quote. Historians can debate why Halleck seemed so sad on replacing Grant. On the one hand, he had given Grant orders not to go to Nashville, but Grant had circumvented Halleck's orders by sending his chief of staff to Nashville in his stead, along with troops to occupy it. General Don Carlos Buell was already on his way to occupy Nashville, but he was moving slowly and Grant wanted to seize the important southern city as immediately as possible. Buell responded by complaining to Halleck that Grant insubordinately went to Nashville. So Halleck cared little for Grant's insubordinate tendencies, but historians also speculate that jealousy may have had something to do with Halleck's opinion of Grant. These kinds of motives are a lot more difficult to prove, but it's a reasonable enough possibility. Military promotion prior to the Civil War was tenure-based, but Grant already outranked his former teacher, the same man Halleck wanted to replace Grant with. The victory at Donaldson earned Grant a lot of glory in the Northern press, including the favor of President Lincoln. Grant was positioning himself as a rival to his superior officer. Whatever the true motivation behind Halleck's decision, he sent Grant an order telling him to remain at Fort Henry. Grant was to be removed from command and replaced by General Smith. Grant was devastated. He later wrote, quote, I was virtually under arrest and I had lost my command, end quote. But word got out that the famous unconditional surrender Grant had been removed from command. Lincoln at this time was still mourning the death of one of his sons, who had only died two weeks earlier. But when he learned that the only general who was willing to act had been removed, he sent Halleck an order to either have Grant court-martialed or to let him keep his command. Since all of the accusations against Grant were rumors and Lincoln the Lawyer likely had this in mind, Halleck could hardly have Grant court-martialed. So on March 13th, Halleck sent Grant another message saying, quote, You cannot be relieved from your command. There is no good reason for it. Instead of relieving you, I wish you as soon as your new army is in the field to assume the command and lead it on to new victories, end quote. I already talked about Grant's history of personal failure in the episodes on Fort's Henry and Donaldson. The relevant episode is titled The Emergence of Grant Part 1 for those who may not have listened to it. But the relevant tidbit is Grant's reputation as an alcoholic that I already mentioned in today's introduction. Grant would be accused of being an alcoholic throughout the war. In 1863, the New York Herald would attribute to Lincoln a quip in response to critics where the president asked what brand of whiskey Grant drank so he could send it to his other generals. Kind of like the quote about wanting God on his side, but he must have Kentucky. This quote is apocryphal, but famous nonetheless. But it doesn't matter. What does matter is that Grant's reputation for drinking would plague him for the rest of his life, even after the war when he became president. Sherman, however, had a different reputation that threatened his military career. I don't believe I've talked much about Sherman's history, but if you're a regular listener to the show, you might have noticed that Sherman just seems to be everywhere. In the Gold Rush episode early in the second season, Sherman was serving in the military in California. He was in St. Louis during the riots that led to martial law there. He was in Kentucky during its period of uncertainty as to whether or not it would secede. He was in the first battle of Bull Run as well.  The friendship formed between Ulysses S. Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman proved to be very important through the course of the war. Both officers got off to a rough start at the Civil War, but they came to respect each other at Shiloh, and they supported each other in ways that may have dramatically altered the direction of the war, as we will see. So these men are worth talking about in brief leading up to the battle. Though I don't think I mentioned it, William Tecumseh Sherman was serving as Grant's quartermaster during the battles of Fort Henry and Donaldson as well. In fact, even though the two men were communicating by telegraph, this was the first instance of Sherman impressing Grant, who seemed to even anticipate some of Grant's needs for provisions and reinforcements. But like Grant, Sherman was a complicated man with a complicated history that doesn't always get discussed in general histories of the Civil War. He went to West Point at the age of 16 and was a better student than Grant would be. Grant started West Point at the age of 17 and he was two years younger than Sherman, so Grant came to the school during Sherman's last year. They must have had some interaction as Sherman later claims to have given Grant the nickname Uncle Sam Grant while they were at the school together, but it's unlikely that they knew each other very well. Sherman made a career out of the Army, but during the Mexican-American War he was stationed in California. During a gold rush, he left the Army and temporarily ran a bank in San Francisco, which failed. He moved back east and worked as a bill collector in Cincinnati. But it was actually John Floyd, the Confederate commander of Fort Donaldson, who got Sherman back and in the military life by giving Sherman a job as the superintendent of a new military academy that was being established in Louisiana. The school opened in 1860 though, so Sherman didn't keep the job long. Sherman might be a perfect example of the typical northern view on secession and slavery. Sherman was virulently anti-secession, believing, ironically, that if states were allowed to secede peacefully, it would lead to quote, unquote, eternal war. On the matter of secession, he was uncompromising. He said, quote, I believe in coercion and cannot comprehend how any government can exist unless it defend its integrity, end quote. But he did not want to abolish slavery. He said in the same letter as the previous quote, that national integrity and slavery were two different issues and they, quote, should be kept distinct, for otherwise it will gradually become a war of extermination without end, end quote. So these are interesting things to think about. If the states were allowed to secede, he believed it would result in endless war. So he proposed using war to prevent secession, but not to end slavery, which he believed would also result in an endless war. As for slavery, he had no real moral objection to it, regardless of whether or not ending it would result in war. In a letter to his foster brother, he wrote, quote, I would not abolish or modify slavery. Negroes and the great numbers that exist here must have necessity be slaves. All the congresses on earth cannot make the negro anything else but what he is. As to abolishing it in the south or turning loose four millions of slaves, I would have no hand in it, end quote. Obviously these views were not atypical at the time, and it's important for the sake of intellectual honesty to understand these figures in the context of the time they lived. So I'm not here to defend or condemn anybody, I just want to tell the history. But in the history of the Civil War, you do tend to see people often taking a one-sided view, romanticizing the figures they want to admire. Not everybody is guilty of this, of course, but it's something to be conscientious of. German was, at least, as racist as the rest of the north, if not marginally worse than average. Grant wasn't any better, and in fact, Grant was incredibly anti-Semitic. At the end of 1862, Grant even issued a general order to expel Jews from his district in the west. This isn't to say that people don't romanticize people like Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson as well, because many people certainly do. Lee's opposition to slavery is grossly overstated by some of his defenders. But the point is that most people in the Union and Confederate armies weren't all that far apart in their views on race and slavery, and it's impossible to understand the war or its major participants if you maintain the perspective that the war was fought over slavery rather than secession. And it's also intellectually dishonest to ignore the character flaws of the people you admire, while tirelessly focusing on the character flaws of people you despise, which is too often the case in discussions of the Civil War. So this is all to say that we should understand these men in the context of their time. That doesn't mean we condone what they believed, it just means that we want to understand history as fully as possible, and that's impossible to achieve when we're constantly dividing characters into the categories of heroes and villains. But I've taken a detour in the story here and I apologize for that. In February of 1861, Sherman decided he had to leave Louisiana. Before he left, he actually told one of his friends, a French instructor at the Academy, quote, You, you people of the South, believe there can be such a thing as peaceful secession. You don't know what you are doing. The country will be drenched in blood. You mistake the people of the North. They are a peaceable people, but an earnest people, and will fight too. And they are not going to let this country be destroyed without a mighty effort to save it. The North can make a steam engine, a locomotive, or a railway car. Hardly a yard of cloth or shoes can you make. You are rushing to war with one of the most powerful, ingeniously mechanical and determined people on earth, right at your doors. You are bound to fail, end quote. When the war broke out, Sherman rejoined the army as a colonel, largely due to the influence of his brother John, who was a U.S. senator at this point, and would later become most famous for his antitrust and silver purchase acts. But Sherman's trouble came when his mental health started to be called into question in the Northern press. After bull run, Sherman was transferred to the West, where he replaced Robert Anderson as commander of the Department of the Cumberland. The U.S. Secretary of War, Simon Cameron, came to ask him what he believed would be needed to suppress the rebellion in the Mississippi River Valley. At this point, the Union was still underestimating the scope of the war. So when Sherman said that it would take at least 200,000 Union soldiers to subdue the River Valley, Cameron thought Sherman was insane. And that's the word he used in his memo to Washington describing Sherman's recommendation, insane. Apparently this memo leaked to the press, and newspapers started publishing articles saying that the commander of the Cumberland Department had gone mad. As the story spread, they became increasingly sensationalized. But any attempt Sherman made to correct the narrative seemed to only confirm the reports of his insanity. After all, when a person desperately tries to argue that they're not crazy, don't they always kind of seem all that much more crazy? The story of Sherman's insanity may have been sparked ironically by the fact that he was one of the few realistic officers in the Army at the time. He was the only person that seemed to realize how difficult this war would be. But whether it was because of the stress of the accusations or something else, Sherman did start to verge on a nervous breakdown. In November of 1861, only a month after the report's questioning his sanity started to circulate, Sherman asked for a leave of absence. When he returned, he seemed to be in better mental health. And this is when he became Grant's quartermaster. But just like Grant would always be hounded with accusations of being a drunk, Sherman would always have to deal with questions about his mental stability. This continues today, in fact. There's a relatively recent book titled A First Rate Madness written by a psychologist named Nasir Chayemi, I'm probably horribly mispronouncing his name, that argues that mental illness is often connected to great leadership. I take a number of issues with the thesis of the book, not the least of which is that I disagree with the author's opinion of who actually qualifies as a great leader. But in the very first chapter, the author claims that Sherman's mental health issue, which the author diagnoses as manic depression, was the reason that he was able to think creatively about how to win the war. This was basically a really nice way of saying that mentally stable generals were unwilling to consider waging total war, like Sherman's march to the sea to fight the civil war. But in any case, it is interesting that Sherman's mental health is still the subject of curiosity today. But while Sherman and Grant seem to earn each other's respect on the battlefield, it's very likely that they empathized with each other over their respective accusations, and this may have strengthened their friendship as well, or at least compelled them to look past the negative bias that colored other people's opinions of their capability. Sherman once explained his friendship with Grant, quote, General Grant is a great general. I know him well. He stood by me when I was crazy, and I stood by him when he was drunk. And now, sir, we stand by each other, always, end quote. After the Battle of Shiloh, it would be Sherman who would stand by Grant. And in fact, Sherman would end up talking Grant out of resigning from the army, as we will see. I won't bore you with the details of the slow amassing of union troops around Pittsburgh Landing, but it was Sherman who first selected the spot. Pittsburgh Landing was never intended to be a site of battle. It was merely a place to organize the troops prior to an expedition further south toward Corinth. But the Confederates were concentrating at Corinth. And as they observed the concentration of troops at Pittsburgh Landing, they decided that they had to do something about them. The Confederacy was unhappy with the news that Fort's Henry and Donaldson had fallen. President Jefferson Davis received a no small amount of scorn, but the bulk of the criticism was levied at Albert Sidney Johnston. Several Confederate politicians called for Johnston's removal, but Davis stood by him. He had known Johnston for a long time, and he had the utmost respect for his military capabilities. If Sidney Johnston is not a general, Jefferson Davis said, I have none. Johnston didn't bother to defend himself to the public. On March 18th, he wrote a letter to President Davis explaining why. He wrote, quote, I observed silence because it seemed to me the best way to serve the cause in the country. The facts regarding Fort Donaldson were not fully known, discontent prevailed, and criticism or condemnation were more likely to augment than to cure the evil. At the time of his writing this, John Floyd and Gideon Pillow were under investigation for their actions at the Fort, which is what Johnston is alluding to here. I refrained, well knowing that heavy censures would fall upon me, but was convinced it was better to endure them for the present. What the people want is a battle and a victory, end quote. A victory in battle is what Johnston was determined to provide. After moving out of Kentucky and Tennessee, Johnston moved his troops to Corinth, Mississippi. Corinth was currently occupied by General Pierce Beauregard, who was still a Confederate hero following the victories at Fort Sumter and Bull Run. Beauregard's army consisted of about 25,000 men, and Johnston's was roughly 20,000. The Confederacy was, at this point, concentrating all of its forces in the west at Corinth. Even Earl Van Dorn, following the defeat at Peeridge, was on his way with the surviving 10,000 soldiers at his command. Though they wouldn't make it in time to participate in the Battle of Shiloh due to a lack of transport boats. Even before Johnston arrived, Beauregard was aching for a fight. In his reading of history, he learned about how in 1528, the Tsar of Russia had the world's largest bell melted down and turned into the world's largest cannon to defend the Kremlin. On March 8th, he issued his famous appeal, quote. More than once, a people fighting with an enemy less ruthless than yours, were imperiled rights not more dear and sacred than yours. For homes in a land not more worthy of resolute and unconquerable men than yours, and for interests of far less magnitude than you have now at stake, have not hesitated to melt and mold into cannons the previous bells surmounting their houses of God, which had called generations to prayer. The priesthood have ever sanctioned and consecrated the conversion in the hour of their nation's need, as one holy and acceptable in the sight of God. We want cannon as greatly as any people who ever, as history tells you, melted their church bells to supply them.  Who will not cheerfully and promptly send me his bells under such circumstance?" End quote. Beauregard's appeal was energetically embraced. An FY rocket wrote a poem titled, Melt the Bells, that was published in southern newspapers. I'm not going to read it all, but here's a bit of it, quote. Melt the bells, melt the bells, still the tinkling on the plains and transmute the evening chimes into wars resounding rhymes that the invaders may be slain by the bells, end quote. And it went on like that for five more stanzas, but you get the idea. People were eagerly embracing any idea that they saw as contributing to the war. They wanted victory. When Johnston arrived at Corinth, he and Beauregard both agreed that they would have to attack Grant at Pittsburgh Landing. They got to work on the attack plans. The first thing they did was reorganize their army into four army corps. This was following the Napoleonic system of organization. You had 100 man companies and 10 companies formed a regiment. Four to six regiments formed a brigade. Three to four brigades formed a division. And three or more divisions formed a corps. They would move through the country roads towards Pittsburgh landing where they would form battle lines. There they would ambush the Union men with two of the divisions striking first while the other two divisions remained in reserve under the direction of Beauregard. On April 2nd Beauregard was dealing with the recovery of an operation on his throat that wasn't healing very well. But even as he was laid up in a sick bed, he insisted on staying apprised of any new intelligence. When he received a report that Union soldiers looked to be moving in to attack Memphis, west of Pittsburgh Landing, Beauregard scribbled a note for Johnston that said, quote, now is the moment to advance and strike the enemy at Pittsburgh Landing, end quote. Johnston was reluctant. Van Dorn's army still had not arrived and he didn't want to attack until they were available. So Johnston sought the advice of Braxton Bragg, one of his core commanders. Bragg endorsed Beauregard's recommendation to attack. Still, Johnston was worried. His troops were green and they could stand more training. But Bragg stood by his position. They knew that the army under Don Carlos Buell was on its way to reinforce Grant. The longer they waited, the more likely it would be that they would face the combined force of Grant and Buell. Van Dorn's army would not be worth waiting for if it meant they had to deal with Buell's army as well. Johnston agreed and he ordered preparations to march to Pittsburgh Landing by the next morning. But they were delayed by Leonidas Polk, another core commander, whose men were camping out in the streets of Corinth. Polk refused to move his men until he received written orders from General Johnston. Because his men were blocking the only streets that led to Pittsburgh Landing, none of the other division commanders could get their men through either. So Polk held up the entire operation. The Confederate army finally did move out at 3 AM on April 3rd. By the next day, most of the army was in place. But a straggling division in Braxton Bragg's core continued to hold up the attack. Johnston was growing frustrated with the lack of organization in his army. This is perfectly purile. He said, this is not war. By the time the lost division found their way to Pittsburgh Landing, the day was nearly through. The various delays cost them precious time that threatened to make it all the more likely that they would face reinforcements, which would be exactly what they would face before the battle was over. Beauregard at this point wanted to cancel the attack and fall back to Corinth. Reports had been coming in stating that Buell's army would be arriving soon. Beauregard gave his assessment to Johnston, but Johnston was determined to continue. He held an officer's meeting and told the generals to prepare his men to attack at sunrise. As the meeting ended, he turned to one of his staff officers and commented on the fears of union numbers. Johnston was undeterred, saying, quote, I would fight them if they were a million. The incredible and horrible battle of Shiloh was about to begin. We will continue the story in the next episode. Historical Controversies is a production of the Ludwig von Mises Institute.

You can follow us on Instagram! You can follow me. I'm still there while it's available. But soon, all of these intros will be dated because Twitter's going to be gone. Unfortunately. Yeah. Today, what are we doing, Rick? How not to run a company. Yes. How not to take over a company by Elon Musk? Sounds musky. Today... What are we doing? I don't know. What are we doing? I don't know. Looks like a video song. Nope. But not cricket. Cricket. Not the highlights. Not a highlight. It's a low light. Oh my God. This is what it's like batting in India, 2022, the spin technique. Tech mat is unplayable. So this is actually like almost how people in India train and also the, I'm guessing the pitchers in India are like insanely good at spin and all that kind of stuff. I don't really know. I've heard they're not very good. And I don't know if you've... I don't know if there's probably not anything like this in baseball, but in soccer or football, World Cup coming up, right? For goalies, there's this thing that somebody can kick. And when it hits this thing, it bounces up in a random direction. So the goalie has practice for jumping and not knowing where the ball's going to go. I think there's a mat for India for the spin mat. Got it. So that it bounces in a way that the trajectory of the spin on the ball, you can't read where it's going to go. And because it's going to go... Obviously the pitchers in India are just really good at this, and so this kind of emulates that. Got it. And so this is kind of an informational video about that. We could hit it. Probably. We're really good at cricket. The only reason we didn't become professional cricketers is because we just have not enough time. And they didn't pay me enough. Yeah. And there wasn't enough cocaine. Yes. Here we go. This is the hardest thing we've ever done. And as soon as I can take my pads off here, the better. Right. Because pace is too easy for us. Well... This might be a new video. I'm not quite sure. Because I'm quite long. Yeah, it's very long. So maybe this is a new video. Maybe. So this is a new video. Welcome. Welcome back to Lords. Yeah. Maybe. We're back at Lords. Down to this West Indian kit. Yes. And today we're going to do some spin. But with a twist. We're going to go down. And I'll get close to it. As you can see, it's got some nice bubbles on it, some horrible kind of grooves and things like that. And it's on, unfortunately for them and me, it's on a good length. Well, we don't face many bowlers who can hit a good length, do we? No. Just start with. So that's going to be a challenge. Shots fired. It's going to be really weird. I think it's a bad idea for that to be there.  It could keep blowing. The thing is, well, it's been hitting the greens though if you're doing all sorts. So yeah, good luck. And don't forget to subscribe. Yeah, that helps. And we never say that. So no, I like it because we're at Lords and everyone likes El, like the Lords. Yeah. That is weird. That is weird. That isn't it. Are you ready? Yeah, are you? I'm pressing fire. I don't think you hit the mat. They don't have anything like that in baseball though because obviously it doesn't hit the ground. But what about for Al? Well, Alfield would just go the trajectory of the ball. You could do some of that for infielders. Maybe catchers? Give them odd. Yeah, for sure. That'd be really good for a catcher to get them to figure out how to block a wild pitch. I bet there's a lot of you thinking I could hit that. Yeah, I think it could be. Probably could. Yes, probably could. I'm one of them. Is that a machine that's pumping them out? Yeah. I think that's how they get the accuracy for it to hit the blue. No concrete ends down here. Good ends. I feel like it's going really slow now. Yeah, really slow. This is really difficult. Maybe it's just because maybe he's not a professional, so they put on an easy setting. Wait till you see the legs fit. I can't wait. Because I bet when it goes faster, it's going to spin even harder. Yeah. Yeah, it's not looking as bizarre as I thought it would. That's not going well. No. But that was hard. Maybe the hardest thing. From what I saw, like that makes a big difference.  But genuinely, like if that were an area or a rough, I don't know, it's not going to be big on blue and square. But if it does, like, and it shows you how much they do it, how do you play it? I don't know. It's just that judging. The best thing you can do is get forward or back quickly. Yeah. Like if you can do that quickly and you can play soft hands, that's what makes you really good players. Yeah, no, it hits. I'm not saying it hits, but that's what, yeah. What does that mean? To play soft hands. This is inside baseball stuff. Yeah.  Ooh. He's, yeah. About eight minutes of, like, not laying about on it, there's. Not laying about? Not laying about, no. Yeah. Top spinner. Keep walking. Keep walking. And as soon as I can take my pads off here, the better. Whoa. Okay, I saw that one. Oh, they have a little guy.  It's probably a good training tool. Oh, that too. That looked like it was coming right up the middle at him. Yeah. My brain doesn't work anymore. Oh, that's bad. Oh, he's going big now. Got it on, mate. Keep batting. Okay. That was a strange transition. Who's this? Oh, is this the other guy? At least they know how to hold the bat. Yeah. You know, sometimes you see, is that what that means by soft hands? Because sometimes you swing all the way through. And other times you just kind of check it. Yeah. Maybe that's what that means. Did he say come on the leggies? Freshly shaven. He's better than the other guy. Yep. Oh. It's horrible. And this is just a machine that looks like it's going slow. Yeah. Imagine some of the stuff that we've seen of these guys throwing at almost 90 miles an hour.  Right. Which is how impressive they are. Just need to get one that just goes straight on it. Oh. Shrindike. Oh, well bold, Ravi. Only just captured it. I might take a bit of padding down on that one. Oh, here we go. I love how British people talk. The legs spin somehow. The offspin's hard. You've made it look it, yeah. Yeah. To do to that. I could have hit all these. That's the only shot I've got of it. I might have taken leg stuff out of the ground if you'd have missed that. Right, last one, mate. Last one. Yeah. Straight through the gate. Oh, yeah. What that is. Unfortunately, that's pretty well that is. Well done, mate. Cheers, mate. That's how I've worked that. And it's tough. That's really hard. Yeah. Okay. Cheers. I love how British people talk. Yeah. That's super interesting because obviously I'm sure it's really good for training. Yeah, absolutely. But also they didn't go into batting in India 2022. Yeah, no, not at all. Is this a specific India mat? Or is just India really good at spinning? Right. They didn't answer that. They didn't either. I was hoping they would. No, because the title of the video is this is what it's like batting in India 2022. Because the spin tech mat replicates the bowling of Indian cricket teams. Are they just really good at spinning? Right. It is very similar, though, because obviously in football or soccer, for you American viewers, the goalie has something. It's a really long thing, probably a little shorter than the length of the goal. Probably a couple feet in front of the goalie. And they just kick it like that. And so you could be kicking it straight and then it would go real fast. And so the goalie has the reflex technique. And so I'm guessing that's what that is.  Because obviously you have to keep their arm fresh. I'm sure that's a very similar thing that is in baseball. But theirs is different as well. Do bowlers have a pitch count? Like the number of times they should throw before there would basically be the time where you have to take them out of the game. Or do they always just bowl for a certain amount of time and then they're out. And so you don't really have to keep track of that. Because in baseball, there's a pitch count. And most guys, you know when they're going to fatigue around their pitch count depending upon how they're doing at that particular time. Yeah. I don't know. So those questions I was hoping this would answer. Yeah. COVID, I would like to try this. I think it would be fun to see if you could hit one of these kind of spin. Because I know I can't hit a real spin ball. No, and we've only done that once. It was a while back. We went with Micah. Yeah, and there was a guy there that was practicing. He said he was a spinner, I believe. You remember, right? Yeah. You sucked. I was really good. I had a couple good shots. I hit one into a tree. You were garbage. Look at the video. No, you were garbage. I hit one into the tree. The boys played well, though. The boys did play very well. They played very well. We put that on at the end of the video. There's you, me, and Michael walking away and it comes up and says the boys played well. I just like getting a laugh out of people. Anyways, let us know those questions and other cricket videos we can react to down below.


ck and reconsider and I would say the studies on the the biases I was talking about here that I probably would fight it first is that we all do every single one of us fight belief changes when it happens hopefully I could push through and keep moving forward I mean that's what happened when I started accepting the theory of evolution so many years ago you bet thanks very much also Steven Steen thanks for your generous donation to be the match he said I donated bone marrow through be the match sign up and do it it's worth it a million times over so that's awesome Steven that's just terrific and again thanks so much for that donation to be the match by the way just for transparency's sake we I'll be sending that email out to each of the debaters namely the donation receipt for all those superchats that you guys have given and so thanks for doing that everybody and also I will be sending the email out to both of the speakers if you are here for the first time and you're like hey can I see the donation receipt yes absolutely no joke just email me at modern day debate I will send you that donation receipt because we really do want to emphasize that kind of that transparency if we say we're going to do this we have to have that transparency and accountability so thanks for that sigifredo sorabia let's see let's see if you've got time we'll come back to this I just want to try to get kind of the first question from a lot of different people so Harley Wikes thanks for your question first time I think I've seen your question they said Stanley let's see Stanley they said Stanley Huros forgive me if I mispronounce the name I'm not sure if this is like a famous academic Stanley Huros says that even if you could prove a God existence that it would not be the God of Abraham Isaac Sarah and Jesus thoughts that's a topic for another time Matt and I will have that in April perhaps maybe you're right I don't at this point that's not really what we're talking about but yeah it could be the case I don't know who that is though gotcha thanks so much translator Carmenum thanks for your question they said how can you justify positing a mind completely unaccompanied by any physical brain when there's no precedent or other support for that possibility well there is a lot of precedent and support for that possibility I gave a lot of evidence early on I gave a lot of evidence in my videos I'm going to be updating that series there was a series I called Case for the Soul I've slowly I've slowly grown to reject the word soul I don't even like that word anymore so I'm going to update that with even more data to argue for this case it's about the evidence itself in what we can say is the best inference this idea that we need that minds and brains correlate well I agree I absolutely agree and there's no other of course minds and brains correlate how that's part of my idealistic interpretation I said I'm a monist well I am a monist because I'm an idealist that just naturally infers so of course minds and brains are correlated David Hoffman argues that you know that the brain is the extrinsic experience of a first person conscious experience so of course there'd be some sort of phenomenal experience of what a first person conscious experience would be so of course we're going to have that correlations itself does not imply causation I would need to see some sort of evidence for that I'm going to argue there's plenty of evidence to argue the causation goes in the opposite perspective so that series will be out this year though but aren't you so this is a question that I had thought about asking and then I realized that there was at least one problem with it basically so far as we can tell there is no example of a mind absent a material brain or even if we went down the road of AI calling the processor a brain I have no examples of a mind absent a material brain and so while you can either through inference or abduction try to argue that what we're talking about is mind like and there may be the possibility of some mind that is absent a material brain it would seem to some including this person questioning and potentially to me that if all the examples of a mind we have or something that comes material that this would be the the flaw of arguing by analogy that there's something mind like outside of this because as soon as you get to mind like you're no longer you're saying it needs these qualities but it doesn't have these other qualities that are associated with a mind so I wrote this down because I expected you to actually bring it up during the debate yeah I sometimes I skip stuff so you know I would actually again once again this seems to be nothing more than a correlation causation fallacy just because we see these things correlated as Thomas Nagel said correlations need to be explained they themselves are not the explanation of themselves this I would argue that again it goes back to one of the examples I gave with young rich creationists they say if you want to say that humans evolve you need to actually demonstrate humans evolving and I'm always like no I don't it's about making inferences from the evidence that we do have that show that humans actually did evolve and I could actually turn this around in the same type of skepticism if all we have is matter that is in terms of mental properties how can we demonstrate discreet substance known as matter independent of minds well I wouldn't put that on you because I understand it's about arguing to the best explanation and I would expect well we just agree with a conclusion there so I'm fine with the notion that there is some physical universe that exists to absent our understanding or interpretation of it but I don't think it's a correlation fallacy to say that if all of the examples we have of a mind tie to a material processing thing whether you know I'm only doing this to let the AI people in the door then to posit a mind absent that is to posit something that is mind-like that is absent a particular property how do you how would you demonstrate a mind exists without a phenomenal state there needs to be some sort of medium to sort of demonstrate we are the phenomenal state you exactly that's what I'm getting at but no so this is a this is a level of scope thing you're asking how would we demonstrate that the same way we demonstrate anything else the we are the only ones we can demonstrate to or from but that's what I'm getting at I mean so demonstrate that there's a mind absent a brain that is the transcends the universe but what I'm trying to say well I would go back to my original arguments to go back through that and argue the correlations and whatnot but what I'm trying to get at with what I'm responding to this is if there are conscious agents and they want to interact there needs to be some sort of phenomenal state connections some sort of medium between them the physical world that we communicate but that's what I'm getting at there if there is no physical world how would I demonstrate it so I'm not the one saying there's not a physical world I'm the one saying that even if all the brains go away the physical world stay here because the preponderance of evidence is such that that is the case physical world is still here just not at the emergent state that we experience it as well when I talk to you I mean granted we're going to do this differently because my my voice makes vibrations through the air which are picked up by this microphone turn into electric signal which makes it over to your headphones through a bunch of stuff but all of that is physical and so this is how I would communicate yeah we get that if every example we have of a mind this is not a black swan fallacy a black swan fallacy or consequence fallacy would be I'm not accusing you I know I know but I want to make it clarity for the people that are watching would be if I were saying you're wrong there is no god or there is no mind outside of the universe because all minds must come from this that's not remotely what I'm doing and he knows I'm not doing it what I'm saying is if all of the examples we have of a mind are of this nature then how do you demonstrate well not it almost doesn't matter how you would demonstrate can you demonstrate a mind that is X materia that is X material yes through the evidence best inference I don't want to just keep repeating myself going back through the same line I'm not expecting you to do it right now the best way I would say it is the same the best way to do is just our is teach through analogy you know as as a common saying going is I'm not going to demonstrate humans actually evolved from homo habilis to homo erectus to homo height of organism to homo sapiens I say the evidence is the best explanation of that but I don't know we can move on unless you want to say something else I just think that this is the baggage thing that that you know oh well this is I'm not going to go down the road again we've done it go ahead what's next because we're almost out of time yeah we are we got time for one last quick question things sigifrado for your question I think Matt might have been alluding to this or even kind of directly getting to this during the debate they said for Mike how does your God the Christian God compare to the God described in your slides wouldn't a mind causing emergence be timeless when the Christian God is temporal and intervening in human will to become matter as Jesus a good question so I did a video called Christianity and Pantheism because I argue I'm a weak Pantheist a Palomite Pantheist I got it both transcended and imminent so yes I do I do not take the William Lane Craig position that God is sort of in time I don't take that I'm not an atheist when it comes to time I do think God is outside of time but even at that God could actualize all his moments in time within a single instance it's hard to imagine that's hard to accept I get it but my basic view is that God is outside of time everything I argued I would say is consistent with the Christian worldview given my understanding of acceptance of what Gregory Palomis argued via Calisto Swear in terms of that for more information see the video I have mentioned yeah going going back to your RPG example let's assume God is the player and not the creator because that gets sticky but I as a player exist outside of the time the localized time there and this is both and it's weird to say supportive of what you're saying and also contradicts most models of a God it's not that something something that is truly timeless couldn't act or do anything because actions are necessarily temporal but our local presentation of time may not be what time is and this applies both with regard to a God that exists outside of time on some other timeline or a multiverse that the the laws that we have about time and physics within our local presentation of the universe don't tell us anything about what it's like outside of it all we know is that it's different and it would seem at least intuitively obvious to me that if there is a local timeline that's encapsulated in the universe we experience that whatever is outside of that must necessarily encapsulate that timeline and so must have some time of its own but that that winds up limiting a God which doesn't always work for everybody to build on that the wheeler DeWitt equation which calculated the universal wave function of the universe actually noted the time factor dropped out in 2013 there was experimental confirmation of this so Sean Carroll actually makes very interesting point that maybe there could be some sort of underlying different structure of time different than our space time because the evolution of the wave function is still deterministic but that's not contingent on our space time it gets very complicated I recommend his work even though I don't fully agree on his many worlds interpretation or other things he says you know I think a lot of his information on that is actually quite interesting and informative I refer people to that you bet so thanks so much everybody want to give the debaters a huge thank you as this has been absolutely amazing folks it's been a true pleasure tonight and just want to let you know yeah hopefully give the debaters some love if you see them just let them know that you enjoyed this as the debaters really are the lifeblood of the channel so we just really do appreciate them this has been tremendous to get to listen to and so with that folks want to say thanks for being with us tonight and keep sifting out the reasonable from the unreasonable take care


So what's going on call me Casper the ghost please oh my god what is going on guys what is up it's one day out man one day out I thought I'd I thought I'd start this vlog is as well as transparent as possible I've literally just woken up I just got woken up by that light if you didn't and it's my Fitbit's turned off which sucks so that means that when I look at my my sleep analysis from last night I'm not gonna get it which sucks but it's 11 past 6 in the morning guys on Friday the 20th of November 11 past 6 so we're in Queenstown as you guys know I slept like an absolute baby which is fucking fantastic I may have no clothes on and I might look like shit right now but I'm going outside and it is as still as can be I just hope no one sees me one day out man one fucking day out we're here we're here I'm on the street with no clothes on I don't give a shit I am completely and utterly inspired right now we're in Queenstown what a place what a time to be alive one day out am I gonna run under four hours that's the question anyways guys I'm gonna have a shower have a coffee and I'll talk to you guys shortly today's mission as I mentioned previously is to suss out the course and I've got a full day to do it full day so many so much time for activities it's gonna be great right you lot what is going on welcome back we're still at home I haven't haven't ventured out yet but we're about to got my second coffee on the go I've put up you two YouTube videos and if you were wondering which one went up today it was Marlon Humphrey playout number 86 on the list of the top 100 series so guys if you're enjoying those videos please hit the like button if you're enjoying these videos please hit the like button and if you haven't subscribed please do now I just wanted to let you guys know what the plan was for today so I'm about to put on my new running shoes I haven't actually showed you guys these but you know as soon as I saw them I fell in love and they have been well they've pretty much ran me to 20 kilometer PB's in the last week so I can't complain with the shoes I definitely needed a new pair the pair that I had I've been using for six months the laces broke you know it's basically it's a Nike sort of free run or a Nike I think it's called a Nike free run the bottom like the sole is all spongy terrible for for gym workouts terrible for squats and things like that but but also getting pretty terrible for running so you know as far as the shape goes they look pretty damn good I felt the sole it is nice and solid the laces the way that does up around my ankle feels absolutely fantastic and so these are officially my very first marathon running shoes they're called new balance new balance fuel cell fuel cell I'm extremely impressed they cost me a hundred and forty bucks you know it's not gonna break the bank guys the goal is in those shoes is to run a four-hour marathon but what I want to say is that I don't actually know what the terrain of this course is like yet I don't know if there's you know too many hills if there are there's no way I'm gonna run a four-hour marathon there's just absolutely no way you know if there's a decent amount of hills I am gonna go for four hours 30 that's gonna be a decent goal it's gonna give me that extra 30 minutes to walk if I have to I don't want to walk I'd like to slow down my pace enough so that I can continue to jog okay I've got to stop talking now and I've got to put the battery on charge because it's run out that's the trouble with this camera the battery life isn't that good I will say guys there's one one major benefit of using a point-and-shoot over a DSLR and that is the fact that the film clip size the video clip size does not get cut off every 10 minutes and it also doesn't shut off every 30 minutes so you can have a continuous shot for as long as you like as long as the battery you know doesn't run out so that's that's a nice little so that's a nice little thing that I've found using a point-and-shoot the quality is not going to be there you know you obviously not going to be able to change the lenses as far as the G7 X mark 3 that the zoom is actually fairly decent but my battery pack is about to die so what I'm going to do is I'm going to quickly charge these because that's one thing I cannot let happen is wake up tomorrow morning and either not have my headphones charged or not have my Fitbit charged these are two well it's a hundred percent now so that's fine but these are two crucial pieces of equipment crucial crucial and there goes the battery again okay so last thing I was going to say before heading out to the start line is that there's two more crucial pieces of equipment for me personally contact lenses so I can take these fuckers off and sunscreen and a Sun hat so that's three so we've got we've got Fitbit we've got my headphones we've got a hat we've got sunscreen we've got contact lenses we make that six we've got sunglasses actually we make that seven and I need my phone so as long as I've got my shoes my socks my shorts and my t-shirt and my number and my bag you know what we're gonna call it 20 things I'd be the writer list anyways guys next time you see me we're gonna be at the start line pretty much exactly 24 hours before the start of my very first marathon it's one day out we're in Queenstown like I keep saying it's fucking exciting man nervous but excited I've got plenty of support and it's all appreciated so thank you alright guys I'm finally out of the house it took me a lot longer than I thought it is now nearly midday but there is one question in my mind how many hills and valleys is this 42 kilometer distance going to have in it I'm hoping for zero if it's one to five it's doable if it's five to ten it's not likely if it's ten to twenty it's a five hour marathon okay we're on here we're officially 300 meters away from start line this is the first time I'm ever gonna lay eyes on this oh okay so the start line is at a place called Milbrook Resort I'm just gonna pull over so from what I can work out I feel like this is the start pretty much right around here so if I continue driving I assume we begin the race running down here and it's pretty nice not gonna lie it's well it's Queenstown that's exactly what it is so yeah I mean if the start is anything if the start is around here we've got a golf course okay not bad not bad the Avenue Orchard Hill holy shit this place is this place is rather nice I'd like nothing more than to start here okay we've got some officials we've got some officials I have no idea what they're gonna say hello hey do you know where the start line is is it gonna be back there yeah and we'll take off down this way she she said she had no idea actually so I'm not sure if that's correct or not but we're certainly in the right place okay I found the start line my next mission I'm gonna pull over here my next mission is to one get the hell out of here because it's almost like a maze and number two is to track the course so I feel like yeah the first what I feel like the first KL2 is probably gonna be through here no idea which direction but then once we exit here I'm gonna have to go back through these people that's gonna be embarrassing but that's okay little do they know that they're gonna be on YouTube within a couple of weeks in fact they might actually see themselves because they will be titling this something to do with the Queenstown marathon or I'll at least be tagging the Queenstown marathon in every single one of these videos so so by all means if any volunteers or anyone in the race anyone that's involved with this event sees these videos sees this video please let me don't know down in the comment section below it's gonna be awesome anyways guys this is what we see as we roll out I didn't see you know I didn't show you anything of what's in there the whole place is amazing actually and it's called the Millbrook resort this must be on you know lists of top places in New Zealand or most fancy places what does it say Millbrook escape the every day escape the every day all right let me get this map okay actually we can work this out together look at look on my phone hopefully you can see that that blue section is what is it all right so if you can see that blue section that is pretty much what we just drove through if I can zoom in I don't know if I can but basically they're saying that there's different sections within that so the darker blue is for the faster runners sub three hours then you've got three hours to 330 then you've got 330 to four hours and then you've got four hours and above and I assume you just stand in the section allocated to what you think you're gonna run so I suppose I'm gonna be at the back if anyone runs a sub three hour marathon that is absolutely ridiculous fuck you know it's gonna be it's gonna be crack up seeing how fast they run off because you know I don't even know how fast that is it's definitely sub four minutes four minute case to get a three hour marathon which is pretty much as fast as I can run for one kilometre let alone 42 so best of luck to everybody I've sussed out the star where do we go from there okay so that little square there is that blue area we run out that way around there that's actually where we've just driven out to the road turn right and we're off so that's exactly what I've just done in the car I've turned right and I'm down here so effectively I feel like we're gonna come out we're gonna be running right down here but then we hang a left then we hang a left so I'm gonna look at the full marathon course and see exactly what happens here 42 kilometers guys we're running across after fucking country this is so small I can hardly see it but okay here we go so we're starting there we are going Jesus I don't know where we're going might be down that road it may be down that road there aro town yes you're probably right okay so we're gonna go down that road and check it out there we go round arrow town Hogan's gully road Hogan's gully road arrow town Lake Hayes Road all right I'm not gonna worry to be honest mate you know what I want it to be a surprise so I'm not gonna worry about the first not gonna worry about the first 10.5 kilometers I'm pretty confident that I can run 10.5 K's regardless of whether it is you know hilly or not but then we come to this point and this is where we hang a left and we do a 8 kilometer stretch right around Lake Hayes which I've just driven past that and it looks absolutely beautiful so what the plan is guys I'm gonna drive up here I'm gonna park my car at the edge of the lake and then I'm gonna go for a walk on that probably seven kilometer stretch right around the lake you know clear my head today have a think about the race and then we'll continue this I'm pretty sure that the orange is sealed road yes it is the blue is hard packed trail or a dirt road and that's it so 42 kilometers guys 42 K's let's go we've had success I found the path I have passed I've officially passed the 41 kilometers to go marker I feel like there will be a marker every kilometer which will be useful but what I'm not liking is look at this already okay already we've got a nice incline or maybe maybe we go down there which I would much prefer I'm hoping we do I think we do all right so we go down there and that's gonna be the first trail part of our or do we go down there fuck I'm not even sure let's continue just gonna keep driving down this road for a wee bit to see if I can spot another one of these markers but I don't think I am okay that's good that's good work so far so what we're gonna do we're gonna skip the part that goes around Arrow town we're gonna begin this I'm gonna I'm gonna see you guys again when we get to the corner of Hogan's Gully Road and Arrow town Lake Hayes Road that point is at the 10.5 K mark and it's gonna be the point that I get out of the car this morning and go for a walk cool I see there we are here so yeah this is the exciting part all right guys so as far as I'm aware as far as I'm aware we come 10.5 kilometers into this race we come from down there all the way down here hit this corner turn left and effectively that road I'm led to believe runs all the way around the base of Lake Hayes and I did actually drive past that on the way here and it looked beautiful so what I'm gonna do is I might even I'm gonna turn my car around I'm gonna park it right down there I'm gonna leave the camera in it and I'm gonna go for about a two-hour walk I haven't done a lot of activity for three days I really need to I do need to get the legs moving I need to get some blood in there and loosen up before the big day tomorrow so I wouldn't want to I wouldn't want to do nothing for four days you know what I mean I think I've done it okay I think I've you know as far as this last week as far as these last seven days I feel like I've done it pretty much as effectively as I can I'm feeling good I'm feeling ready to go you know I could run it right now could I I don't know I've got my running shoes on I feel pretty fucking good I could probably just set off that way and run 42 kilometers but I'm gonna wait till tomorrow but what I can say is that regardless of the race you know what a place to be in right now what a place just stunning and not overcrowded which is perfect anyways alright so I'm gonna go around the lake I'm not gonna take the camera because that's annoying and look I'll see you guys in about two hours the time is 1141 a.m. I've done 1000 steps which is pitiful but by the end of this walk I think it should be about 10k's a couple of hours 10,000 steps and a nice wee look at an 8 kilometer portion of the race okay guys I tell a lie I'm driving to the lakeside and what I do want to say is that this is exactly where we're running on no way just like that just like that I am in my own piece of paradise that my friends is the other side of Lake Hayes and right now I'm gonna test the zoom on this thing we haven't done that whoa oh shit not bad not bad I'm not gonna say that's the the best quality but that is the other side of Lake Hayes so what I'm gonna do right now is do what I said I was gonna do before and go for a walk so I'm just gonna leave my car here man look at this boom could be day number one of van life I'll just come back here nope I found an actual car park okay now it's time to go for a walk all right and just like that we have returned that was actually that was quite good I've done exactly 10,006 steps it's 1 20 p.m. and I'm starving so I've got a plan well actually I sorry I've got a plan but I also learned three things I learned three three different things on that walk number one just around that corner is the 24 kilometers to go marker so now I've seen two markers I've seen the 11 I've seen the 31 kilometer to go sorry I've seen three markers the 41 kilometers to go marker after one kilometer then we saw the 31 kilometer to go marker just before heading down to circle the lake and we saw a third marker just over there which is gonna be as you come around the lake you come past there and you've got 24 case to go which makes sense because around the lake is around about 8k's first thing I learned is that as soon as I come around this lake that I've just gone and walked I will pass the 24 kilometers to go marker which will mean I've ran 18k's now if I've got a goal in mind because the second thing I learned was that the path is certainly not going to be flat it is not going to be flat by by any stretch there's going to be constant ups and downs or at least during this part the second thing I learned was that by the time I pass the 18k mark you know I want to do that under two hours so that's my first goal if I pass that under two hours I know I've you know I've done a decent job because in training all I've done admittedly is flat running so I have no idea how this is going to go guys if I had a level of confidence before it's certainly been dropped a slight bit but the third thing I learned was there is a sign saying that this place gets locked every night at 10 p.m. and if any vans are caught here overnight which I was considering doing you'll find $200 and in my opinion I'd rather pay 200 bucks for a hotel than pay 200 bucks to sleep in my own van so with that being said I'm not gonna do that but what I am gonna do is go and get some lunch so I actually want to leave a fair bit of this you know course to my surprise I want to see it for the first time and you know I wouldn't be able to drive it anyway because a lot of it is on trail a lot of it is on you know dirt and dirt and compacted trail they call it so I fuck I have no idea how this is gonna go guys I mean I didn't know I don't I mean I really didn't know what to expect as far as terrain as far as altitude and the rest but I don't know I honestly don't know I'm feeling confident you know luckily holy shit man luckily I've got a base level of fitness and you know if I didn't have that I mean you can walk it there are people who walk 6k per hour is a definite pretty fast paced walk and to keep it up you know up and down that's 6k per hour that's 40 that's seven hours so okay you've got a yeah you've got to walk at about 5k per hour constantly for eight hours straight that is not gonna be easy but I guess that's race walking right so I'm not gonna do that I'm gonna run the whole fucking thing except for the uphill parts I'm gonna walk because I do not want to screw myself I'm gonna walk those parts and then I'm gonna run rapidly down the other side to make up some time that is my goal and that is my strategy apart from that I have no idea right so I'm gonna go get some lunch I'm gonna go to Ferg burger fuck it's hot on here holy shit Jesus Christ I will say it's humid man it is humid today and I definitely didn't need this so the plan now guys I'm gonna go and get some lunch I'm not gonna show you guys any more of this course I'm just gonna suss out a bit of it myself on the way into Queenstown I'm gonna get some lunch from the world famous Ferg burger which I've never tried before I'm gonna get two burgers some fries and a drink and then I will see you guys on the couch back at my unit


Professor Dr. Prakash Sawanke from Walshchan Institute of Technology, today we are going to discuss the topic study of comparators, that is from the meteorology subject. At the end of this session, students will describe the meaning, role, and classification of comparators. They will be able to explain principle of working of comparators, introduction to comparators.  Comparator means, it is an instrument which is used to compare the dimension of component with a working standard. So it basically compares with the standards and measures the deviation. So it indicates a deviation from the expected or basic dimension. Now this expected or basic dimension is set in the form of some standard. So comparator will not give the direct value of the say dimension but it will measure the deviation from it. Basically the deviation is small and hence it needs a magnification. So it is magnified in comparator. Widely, it is widely used in mass production because of its merits and overmeasuring instruments as well as limit gauges. So let us see what are the merits of comparators. Measuring instruments, if we consider they need skilled operator to use. So you might have seen Vernier, Gallipur or Micrometer. So they need skilled operator, so who can read, I mean do the adjustment. So it consumes more time for the measurement and because of which they are not suitable in mass production. However, one advantage of measuring instrument is that so they give the values of the, I mean quantity that is measured or the dimension that is being measured so which become useful in data so that is useful and they provide useful data which is needed for statistical process control or statistical quality control. So both. So this is as far as the measuring instruments. If we consider the limit gauges which are used normally in case of mass production they are simple to use and they don't need skilled operators. They are fast and economical and become useful in mass production. However, say they check whether the component lies within the limits, maximum and minimum. So only that is checked. So they will not give any value, any data, any reading so which can be used or which is necessary in case of SBC or SQC so that is not provided. So comparators combine advantages of both. They can work as limit gauges for fast operation in mass production with unskilled operator and whenever needed say the deviation can be measured and data becomes useful say for SBC so that data is provided say with the help of this semi-comparators. So we can find actual dimension also say by adding or subtracting the deviation from the standard value so that is the advantage. So if we consider the applications of comparator basically they can be used as laboratory standards so in tool rooms and the controlled atmosphere so they will be used for I mean calibration of the gauges so they act as a laboratory standards. Secondly they can also be used as working gauges and even they can be used as limit gauges by setting the limits of the for the division maximum and minimum so they can be used as working gauges. Similarly final inspection at the time of assembly or after the assembly for final checking of the products so that can be comparators can be used. Comparators can also be used as receiving inspection gauges for the material of the components which is coming say from outside in the industry say which is bought out components as well as raw materials and say they it can also be used for calibration of new gauges so that are manufactured so in that case that act as a standard for the calibration. Requirements of good comparator so what are the I mean requirements or what are the characteristics that are required for the comparators. Firstly first say it should have a robust design and construction because it is used widely and in case of in case of mass production in industry so because the wide is it news robust design. Secondly linearity of scale so that is always expected of any measuring instrument it is the same. Third important is high magnification basically comparators are measuring the deviation from the standard so which will be having a very small amount if in case of dimension it will be in microns. So it cannot be indicated directly so it needs magnification that is this first operation. Since we have to use it in mass production say when thousands or millions of components are I mean being produced so they must be checked firstly so first operation. One more thing is versatility and flexibility so the same comparator can be used to check variety of dimensions or variety of measurements and variety of components. So there should be scope for adjusting say that particular I mean sensing element and some clamping and all at this arrangement so that variety type of dimensions and variety type of components can be accommodated. Of course for any product durability is one of the common requirements so that is also expected in very good comparator and environmental stability because say there will be going to various I mean variety of environments as the season changes temperature will be changing humidity will be changing so many things thus particles. So environmental stability so that should be there so that is expected then only a comparator will be really useful say for working in the industry. Now classification of comparators, comparators are classified based on the method that is used for magnifying and recording the deviation measured so the majority of the groups in which say competitors are classified are as follows one is mechanical another is optical then third is pneumatical then electrical oblique electronic magnetic then combined such as electromechanical mechano optical etc then multi-check so simultaneously there can be number of dimensions that can be checked so that is also possible so then that kind of comparator is multi-check then automatic gauging so nowadays with automatic I mean with the help of the computers and other I mean microprocessors so automating gauges has become possible so in mechanical comparators mechanical means are used for magnification and recording so that is mechanical in case of optical it is optical principles in case of pneumatical it will be pneumatical principles likewise electrical principles magnetic principle etc according to that say the classification is done normally if we consider the working and use of comparators say normally first selecting the dimensions to be measured and accordingly appropriate standard has to be set second step is determination of tolerance limit so what is the maximum deviation and what is the minimum deviation from this standard so that is expected so that is that has to be determined the next stage is initial setting 0 for standard dimension so what is expected size expected dimensions for that some standard which might be in the power of standard component or it might be sleep gauges so that is set and then sensing element normally it may be some kind of spindle stylus so that is touched to it and say for this initial setting 0 is adjusted then the standard is replaced by the components that are to be measured say one by one then recording the deviation from the standard which could be positive negative or 0 if the component that is measured with having major I mean greater size than the standard then say there will be a positive division if it is having a smaller size there will be negative division if it is exactly equal it will be 0 so then we can calculate the actual dimension if necessary then one more possibility that setting the maximum and minimum limits on the dial and use it as a limit gauge so we can set the maximum and minimum limits and if the component is deviation is lying within the limits we can accept it if it is going outside then reject it so there is no need to even record the deviation when we are using the comparator as a limit gauge so that is working as a limit gauge so if we see general elements of the comparator so there are normally sensing element so it will change the say I mean displacement or deviation then second is transmission the sense deviation may be transmitted then there may be transducer the element may be converted into another variable if needed then there is a magnification or amplification say that is needed and finally display of the deviation so these are the general components of any kind of transducers the reference for this material is taken from the textbook of meteorology by M Mahajan, Dharpatra and company private limited so we end our preliminary discussion on the comparators here thank you
