Oh, baby, we have actually made it the end of water seven and any slobby ladies and gentlemen welcome back to the channel My name is like the bus or I should know be we have episodes 324 and 325 of our one-piece watch today, and if I'm not mistaken This is it for the water seven saga now similar to skype Yeah, I will have like a full review out on the non-reaction channel Maybe probably separating water seven and any slobby. I have no idea yet But either way I have enjoyed the heck out of it easily my favorite arc slash saga thus far But I don't think that'd be a very unpopular opinion based on how much you guys like water seven And I mean by this point the story is built up this crazy amount where we know the characters and whatnot And it's just flushing them out them out more and more but today Hopefully we get more details about our crew's new ship and how everything works all the features on board And I guess just how Frankie's gonna get along with everybody being a part of the crew now which I think he will I mean he already knows all of them. We're gonna hop right into if you need this channel drop us up and hit that big What bell let's get started So we had the going Mary is just a going lion. We don't have a ship name I guess the top priority priority is escaping with his grandfather. I Still think he's thought he's missing on purpose. He knows exactly how to not hit them I feel like he has that much control over his hands all the water seven sharing them on You got any bells or whistles that could help us out here Frankie You know the ship better than anybody Wait throwing like to fight surely not. Why would they not just keep running? Oh, no Frankie does have a plan He's got something hidden on the ship that he's gonna. He wants to show off already Frankie just fits so well like I said because they've been through so much together already Hey, that's what I said it's really it's gonna have something lion in the title I'm cooking all of them. Oh my gosh. I'm so five head that sounds strong Or bear lion What are we really naming it right now? Where are these names even coming from? I feel like Frankie should name it I cannot believe I was on the right track It's a nice sunflower I Mean it kind of does look like a sunflower to be fair see if it was savage beast like a bright beam of light I like that. I do like that Yeah, he didn't even think of it like that. He just thought it's a cool lion Frank Did he already come up with a name fit for a pirate king? Wait, was there three on the other side Thousand sunny that sounds powerful, bro. I like it I know that's kind of cool to dark Robin. What Thousand sunny cause a thousand oceans. I like that. That's so cool. That's so cozy. Oh Wait, Frankie has his own maybe not new battle-breaking lion-gaming champion. Oh my Sunny it's like Mary and sunny. Oh Oh The secret weapon is that what they're doing is that what that giant thing is on the back? I thought it was like a nitrous Oh, oh, so it's not a weapon it is to get them away Is he gonna say bye Did he forget help meppo's name? See I'm saying goodbye while I still can well, what do we got Frankie? Oh Dang oh dang The soundtrack's getting serious Dude, what a crew what a crew Dude, I hope we see ice marine again someday too. I love that man Thousand sunny what a great name cross a thousand seas as a beam of light Emergency accelerator with an air cannon. Oh my gosh Wait, is it expanding? Where did he even get that from that doesn't even make sense It just appeared Okay guys, I said Garp was messing around he ain't messing around anymore this one will hit them no matter where he throws it This one will hit alabaster bro Frankie Frankie Who did burst Oh my gosh, it's beautiful.  They're zooming away Oh, it could be so happy even out Keiji had to wake up from his nap to see that bad boy go Dude, it's already flying man. What a great way to bring the ship in just to fly it already poor mary When there's so many of those For real good times. Ah, I miss mary. I can imagine so If it was made with the wood that it was made of So will this ship have a what was it called a club outer men would have one of those as well eventually Let's see the features I want to see everything it has I'd imagine so because like the club outer men is like the the soul of a ship, right? It's like but it's it's the more love that goes into a ship. Doug. Where did the ball go? I'm so confused. Where does it appear from? Where does it go? Oh I knew he was just messing around. Oh, and that's it. We're leaving water seven damn just like that I'm glad the giants have a place to be though Oh, yeah, he did say you would go to elba 300 years. Wow now what so what happened to all of cp9 I'm guessing that like most of them died. I don't know the whole island was on fire So I'd assume they all died it all started with our along all the way back then where we don't even know if they die or not At least the crocodile we got some closure how the government took him and he was kind of like reprimanded For work He's hiring them new bro I mean basically that's iceberg and frankie god dang dude I'm gonna be get some closure with that. They're not totally lost spirits an island in the grand line Oh, here we go smoker Trilous smoker. He just caught a 50 mil.  She's still with him Oh my gosh, she thought he was smoker. Well smoker's a unit. He's still so interesting to me I'm surprised smoker is in a higher ranking with how powerful he seems to be They're making a name for themselves for real now, man I still don't believe him Baratie, oh my gosh Oh my god Dude, this is so wholesome I'm glad to see they're all doing well, man black foot sanji. I hope so, too He's taking after red foot stuff. Oh shoot. Luffy's hometown Dang, dude Our luffy day everybody's finding out I love these episodes where you get a look around the world at what's happening choppers 50 A cute bet Oh now you have what is garb doing You got that right Dadan dad in daddy. Who's dad in oh shoot serve village. They know they oh shoot Dude, oh my gosh It's so fitting that they don't know that it's your son, but they know it's your son. Why the nose?  Everybody seems to be doing okay.   Oh goodness gracious. He just taught him to become a good swordsman Troublesome alums Facts that's kind of how like tom felt about building ships. Oh my gosh, and kogo yashi God dang, dude seeing those you're going like getting like high def is weird To complain about what about her having a bounty It's too inappropriate Again, I'm gonna be honest. I think it's a great photo. Wait. Yeah. Why did he make a giant version then? We're keeping the dream alive. She's smiling. Yeah Mm-hmm. They're like famous now, man. It's cool. I mean they already had sort of a name for themselves But now they're all famous Sakura kingdom that's what they oh, that's what they named it. That's beautiful Oh my gosh King and chat Dalton is back too. Oh my goodness She's gonna see that chopper as a bounty. Is he the king? Oh my gosh. I don't blame them Wait for it I hope she can just give him one big hug again one day. I love pasta too. Oh my god That's a good question They're all shocked. Where's vivi? Yeah. No, I think she'll be happy. She knows they're living the dream Kadu dude, did kadu get bigger? My goodness. Oh my gosh I'm glad he's doing well too. I can't believe he's alive. By the way, still God dang right based vivi.  He's gonna have a smile on his face. I know it one of their helmets 667 and 50 Hmm really the grandson of garpa this place looks kind of cool.  This wall is about to get a lot bigger to say the least Our group is getting so big man. It's so cool having Frankie as a part of the crew Hell yeah on the next adventure And there we have it that is I am I know there's one more episode I'm guessing sort of maybe teasing what's next, but I know there is a filler arc after this and before the next arc So I don't know if the next episode is going to fill in even more about people finding out Maybe some more lore. I can only wish for so much Well, I mean this was a very satisfying episode to watch but either way Let's get it episode 3 25 and the flow of time is a result of various circumstances The strong spirits people come to question the world they live in god dang Dude dragon speaks and like I don't know that's that's I can't tell if that's like a good thing or bad thing I figured he would be proud that Luffy's done this because he's leading a revolution against the government I believe they for real are I like the little canopy and the thing on the very back. That's kind of like a match of it God dang, baby. We got blackbeard shot too. Where are they? He's looking kind of spiffy He's got like a new coat. Oh, he's with them again, too He was the one that went and tried to put his name in the bucket for warlord Are they near them? Oh, no way Dude, the dock is not doing well, but I don't think he seems to ever be doing well Dude, I nerd out when I get to see blackbeard's crew. Yeah, that is a new coat. That looks nice. He's looking. He's looking nice Oh Looking for him, but oh no, not like this. Where is this the wild west? Oh my gosh an event that occurred on a certain island, but narrow. Oh, no Oh, no, brother. I said this last one would wrap up the arc, but And shanks was worried about ace getting to blackbeard too because I think he either What's the bottom of self where he's worried about ace? Oh, dude, he's been looking for him this whole time to get revenge. Oh Bro, this is blackbeard's crew. There's no way he can 1v4 ain't no way or 1v5. Aren't there five of them including blackbeard?  I don't think he understands. Oh, no, you made such a mistake At least he just went out and told him. Yeah, now you just made it even worse The bullet just go through him. He has fire incarnate, right?  He's gonna bucket of water True that was kind of shameless We gotta throw down. Oh shoot. Oh shoot. Keep out of this He wants the 1v1. I swear there was another one. Am I tripping? Okay, maybe he can 1v4 Blackbeard you're disappointing on another level bro. I'm not gonna lie or ace is just insanely cracked Probably the latter. He said come join my crew.  This is kind of pathetic blackbeard.  Well, yeah, you said you'd kill his brother Yeah, you know why That's that's who he killed. I don't know if that's important, but Oh Oh, dang, but that's snatched it Was for a devil fruit Damn wait, was he right to kill that then? Yeah, did he get the double fruit? It depends what it was He did oh, so what's the power if he studied like one double fruit in particular All right, let's see it. Oh, it's logia. Oh my It's been like smoke What are you made out of? Oh my gosh, it's just darkness dude Darkness logia. Okay. I need to see some application that's kind of good.  Does it just break things away? That's kind of cool though and it matches the fit too I like the sound effect it's making to the most evil power. He's kind of cementing himself as a villain then Dark dark fruit All right, let's see it. I wonder if he's gonna.  Is he like a nuke bro? Get up horsey. I think ace is ready and willing to find out Is that a ball of light bro made a spirit bomb? He's like, I'm not impressed thus far black beard the darkness just like spreads throughout the land That's super cool. Actually that's pretty badass very menacing too these poor towns people man They really do just go places and destroy everything. That's what happened on drum island Darkness is gravity even a ray of light. Oh my gosh It fits so well because the new thousand sunny is like the biggest beam of light I'm kind of worried now Oh, he's just kind of flexing Oh My god, dude It just sucks everything in ace still is not that impressed I mean if he studied this fruit and like actively sought it out You know, he wasn't making a mistake by taking it like he knew what he was getting into and how powerful it would be How do they have fruits on record though? Like without other people having had it first like he said he read up on it Oh my god, we're not we're halfway through the episode two I'm such a sucker for black beard ace screen time though, man The fact that there's only one of these episodes and it's just a big filler arc in it. I guess whatever's next I'm assuming this is just done and done then whatever happens happens Dude, it's just swallowing it the the levels of it. It's like it reminds me of out kiji house Just insanely widespread how kiji throws so much to the ocean He can do this with just such a on a large scale Then the most strong double for users seem to be able to do things on an immaculate scale like that He just sucked in the old town. He's poor people, man All right, what's ace thinking now? Is he a little worried at least like how do you counter darkness besides light?  Oh, that's so cool Hey, you guys got some of your stuff back It's purposefully not showing what ace is thinking or his face right now though. Bro's hair looks like goons What is that is it light?  Is he just letting it hit him?     Okay, maybe he got a little too cocky. I know I don't think it's even cockiness Yeah, I'll be the same first time someone's landed a punch on him. I don't think it's even cockiness He just wants to see the full extent of what black beard is What it drags What? He disables their powers Oh my gosh That's why he was able to hit him that makes so much more sense if he's in contact Then it won't go right through him dude.   It's so cool though Oh God he's so menacing and now it's so much more menacing The power was scary as is but the fact that he absorbs in your powers So like it just completely nerfs you if he's in contact with you is even more It's no wonder he picked this one This whole place is gonna flatten guys The pet of a crazy fight. Yeah makes you wonder how strong white beard himself is Truly it shows us the conclusion of this it doesn't just tease whatever happens and just leaves it up to the imagination Right thing ace ace is getting clapped. I think enough straight up one of you one ace loses this Which is not something I would have said before this episode.  So it's like a wall straight up in the middle Decisive battle battle island what just obliterated it Oh Shoot god dang, dude.  Oh, so well now now we know how powerful he is Um and and why he's uh, I guess to be feared and why shanks and white beard even brought him up A power that rivals probably anyone the fact that he can disable a double fruit power I say that rivals anyone because that has been sort of the common theme with the logia users It's just like how do you hit them? It's been very difficult up until now I mean we even saw it with ace right away. He got shot and he was just like, oh Well, yeah, you can't do that with me can't do that with smoker either But black beard is straight up just like the the almighty counter to that black beard is to literally every logia type as Luffy was to enter but damn what a very ominous ending saying that was the trigger to a massive event That's going to occur. I guess later on But that's it. We have finished the water seven saga any slobby at all I hope you guys have enjoyed my reaction to it I just followed more and more in love with the series as the episodes go by and we are We're not even a third of the way in like it's just It feels like we're just getting started honestly another member is joined. We got a new ship We have a lot of new ground to cover if you're new to the channel drop a sub and hit that big Blood bells. You don't miss any of the rest of the adventure and I'll catch you guys in the next one peace


Commander788 here. And this is an introduction to my website, hcc788.com. If the website looks a little rough, that's because it was created by me in my spare time. That's the only way I could do it. But there will be improvements. In fact, constant improvements. It will always be a work in progress and I will always be working to make it a better website for everyone. So this is just a quick introduction video to introduce you to the website and maybe help you navigate it. The primary use for the website will be as a reference guide. There will eventually be a page for every single vintage GI Joe item that this channel will review. Now there are some vintage items that I will not review. For instance, Street Fighter. I have opted to not review Street Fighter toys. But all the vintage GI Joe items from 1982 to 1994 that I plan to review, they will be up there. So now you can instantly find out if I have reviewed a toy. The listings will be by year. And then of course you can check by figure or vehicle. And if I have reviewed it, the review will be there. But not just the review. There will also be reference photos of file cards, of boxes. If I have them, packaging, the figure itself and the accessories. I'm going to try to put as many reference photos up there as I can. So you will have more than just the video. Another thing that I'm trying to do is include the card contents for the figures. That's something that most websites seem to overlook. And it's kind of important to me. I want to see what the contents of the card were. What did the card call those accessories that the figure came with? That's something that's surprisingly difficult to look up. And so I'm going to try to, as much as possible, to include that on the page for each figure. I have to make a special note about versions. There are some characters that had multiple action figure versions. And yojo.com is the standard for the designation of those versions. However, hcc788.com does not just copy the version numbers from yojo.com. And the reason for that is because for some of those versions, I consider them to be only variants. So that they will be reflected that way both in the review videos and on the website. Also, the website like this channel is focused on vintage GI Joe from 1982 to 1994. It does not list modern figures. Now, sometimes in my reviews, I will look at a modern version of a vintage figure, but that does not change the scope of this channel, which is vintage GI Joe. That's what we do. Now, thanks to the website, there are new things you can do like order a t-shirt. I would love to see pictures of viewers wearing their hcc788 t-shirts. I would totally put that in a video. And there are new t-shirt designs coming. I'm working on it. There's also a list of friends of the channel and other resources for GI Joe that you should check out. One of the best things about having this channel is being able to point people to some fantastic content creators that I hope you will love as much as I do. There will be constant updates and improvements, so check back frequently. And if you like to help improve the website or the channel, just click the support link to find out how. I hope you enjoy the website. Thanks for watching and remember only GI Joe is GI Joe.


I just realized that I turned on this clip immediately after I peed and you can't hear the toilet going. Sorry about that. Good morning everybody. Welcome back to another vlog. It is Monday morning on the day I am filming this and I was actually getting ready to put on my mascara and I thought that we would try it together because I've seen a lot of people talking about this. I first saw it I think on TikTok like before I deleted it and then I saved it and then I think I saw it on Instagram and I saw a couple people recommend it and this is the Milani highly rated lash extensions tubing mascara and I've seen a ton of tubing mascaras that are essentially like a different formula so like the brush kind of looks the same. There's like a lot of the other mascaras that I use but apparently the formula is different so like when you get your lashes wet it just like comes off so maybe we'll test that out at the end of the day but I'm actually getting ready right now because I'm going to meet up with Karina. I haven't seen her since before Christmas I think. I'm like making the rounds of seeing everybody that I haven't seen since before the holiday so we're going to grab some coffee and just catch up. I'm trying this mascara for the first time so far so good. I haven't been really keeping up with using my lash serum and I need to do that because it like makes such a difference in my lashes. First thing I'm noticing I mean this always happens the first time you use a mascara but the formula is very wet like it feels like it's kind of going everywhere and it's not really like grabbing onto these outer lashes that much. Okay let's let that be for the first coat but anyways what else are we doing today? I did my workout this morning you know my usual morning routine that has made such a difference. I you know spoiler I've been doing my 30 days of movement exercise joyful movement whatever you want to call it on my main channel and I'm almost done with the 30 days it's crazy. I think the day you guys see this will be the day that I'm done which is wild. I have so many thoughts about it it's like I feel like it's changed my life so we will definitely get into that on the main channel that'll be up really soon. Oh yeah see it's like smearing under my eyes. That always happens when I use a mascara for the first time though. And yeah I've been trying I mentioned this in the last vlog but I've been trying to get more into getting back into drumstore products because I just like all of a sudden blinked and one day I was surrounded by like all these expensive things that I probably was influenced by that are really good products but that are just like unnecessary spending so I'm gonna work on that this year that is gonna be a huge goal I actually um I don't know if I should say this in case my hair stylist sees this but for the last probably six months I've actually been using Pantene Pro-Vee on my hair like I switched back to Pantene because I was getting so tired of spending like 70 dollars on a bottle of shampoo if you are a hair stylist maybe don't watch this next part but I just I do feel like for me anyway the way that my hair health is I don't know the way that my hair responds to products my hair doesn't look or feel or seem any better when I use high-end products than when I use Pantene and actually I'm really gonna really gonna stir the pot first thing on a Monday morning I actually feel like a lot of high-end hair care made my hair feel worse dare I say it I mean this listen I'm just speaking for my own journey I still use k18 and I still use nice moisturizing products and stuff but for my shampoo and conditioner I do use Pantene I even have refills under here I use the volume and body shampoo and the daily moisture conditioner don't come for me okay I was just like I don't know I used to be such a budget queen and I used to do a job at finding drugstore products and still looking cute and I feel like I kind of lost that over time oh wow this comes off really easily that's so cool yeah we're gonna have to test how this works later tonight should I put it on my little lashes to see how it does with that no I don't have time I do need to leave the house here in about five minutes we're gonna get dressed oh I need to put on my lipstick but yeah I just need to get back into like finding more fun affordable drugstore stuff because that's just my back that's my vibe that's like how I've always been and I'm tired of spending all this money on this expensive stuff so anyways okay let's finish getting dressed oh and put on my lipstick alright sorry if you can hear Bob burgers in the background you shouldn't be able to but you might be able to see it Drew is getting a headache so he's just gonna take a rest but um okay this is the base of my outfit for today we have my old Navy Scorp because I'm obsessed with it and it has shorts and weirdly it's like kind of chilly right now but it's supposed to be like almost 80 degrees today in LA and I'm like excuse me what's happening and then I just have like a basic white tee on underneath and I have these black boots because I've really gotten to wear them a lot and I think they'll look cute with like the vibe that I'm going for for this outfit so these are from Journey Collection they do have snug I really do love the Vince Komuto brand for white calf boots and like the extra white calf but they are kind of pricey so just keep that in mind okay so we've got this and then I thought I would throw on this jacket which is from the Goodwill Bands actually I think Karina originally found this actually I'm now that I think about it I thought it would just be a cute little cute little touch good morning to you too okay I'm gonna try to mess up my hair oh no we did it I think I might even like zip it up oh okay slay do I sort of tuck it under a little bit like that's cute dare I say just a daily reminder to wear whatever makes you happy even if other people don't like it or they don't get it just wear whatever makes you happy now I'm gonna do these glasses these are actually fake and I think they're really cute they're like a blue light glasses but now that I'm thinking about it they're kind of like hard to see up and I have real glasses that are sort of similar they're not exactly the same style but I mean they are very similar I do prefer like the square shape or the kind of more like I don't know rectangular shape of these then just the oval like aviator style but I do need some glasses so I guess so I guess we'll go with these so that is the fit let me show you in the mirror I just thought of this this morning when I woke up and I thought why not this is a weird time of day lighting wise in here but here is the finished look is my mirror like really dirty I think it is oh yeah it's filthy okay cool we'll clean that later but here it is got my you know probably two dollars or less jacket my favorite old Navy escort and my cute little boots so let's hit the road I do of course have my Aero's tour bag because that is a massive flex I have a little snack for later if I need it I brought a perfect bar these are so good at keeping you full and has 15 grams of protein so I love those kind of tastes like peanut butter cookie dough and then I brought a hint watermelon water with me I also have a pair of headphones and slides in there because I might get my nails done later like on my way home while I'm out but anyways I got stopped blabbing and hit the road so let's get in the car we're driving over to Frogtown today which is like a really cool neighborhood in LA and Karina knows about this coffee shop that I haven't heard of before and we're gonna go check it out together so let's go have a group stay did you miss her this place is so cute and we've been sitting here trying to just have like a lovely chat a nice hard to hard to catch up and this construction this is the mildest it's been yet actually like it has been so low they were full on jack hammering the ground as we're just having this conversation it's like this is part of but it's LA wait is it worse than out the construction they're doing inside your home honestly it's about the same so that's always so funny too when I'm like filming main channel videos and I use the tiny mic I'm like the construction is really bad and people are like girl we can't even hear it I'm like because I'm using the tiny it's not I wouldn't say it's probably this bad yeah it's definitely so hot outside like it feels like summer right now it's wild I'm actually parked right in front of or behind the LA River I don't know if you can see it there's like people just walking by running like it is such beautiful weather everyone is outside enjoying it so nice it kind of feels like spring or summer but it's January like I actually have a little a little bit of sweat on my upper lip that's wild but yeah we had a great time it's always lovely to catch up with Karina we hadn't seen each other since before Christmas so we're gonna be planning a lot of really fun thrifting content coming up I mean maybe do some Disney stuff and now it is about 1 o'clock I have my nails at 2 I've made an appointment to get my nails done because these these dentine ice nails have got to go if you missed it when I talked about it on Instagram basically I got talked into doing like a square shape and then I kind of like hated it but I tried to say oh could we like round the corners a little bit and then she was like yeah yeah and then she never did and then it was just kind of is one of those things you know speaking up at the nail salon it's very hard to do but yeah so I'm gonna get like my nice you know monthly Manny Petty enjoy it treat myself and then we'll see what we get up to the rest of the day I do have a couple work things to do later but today has kind of been like a chill day and I've really really enjoyed it because I worked a lot this weekend I wasn't supposed to but I did end up working a lot this weekend and someone is gunning for my parking spot so I actually need to go so I'm not making them wait so yeah I had the best time with Karina lovely as always and we are gonna go get these nails done and then catch up in a little bit alright just got out of my nail appointment and it was great I'm feeling pampered I'm feeling refreshed I took off my earrings because I had my AirPods in but I have just been working out like so hard lately that it felt really nice to have someone to rub on my feet and my arms it felt quite nice so anyway I'm gonna head home relax cook some dinner probably watch the Traders on Peacock which Drew and I have been like obsessed with we are watching the UK version I had seen so many of my friends in the UK as well as just like people I follow talking about the show and I think we're officially hooked we're like probably halfway through the season I do think it got a little bit overhyped but it's getting better as we go along so I think it's like only bound to get even better you know everyone was like oh my god it's the best show ever so I was like I had really high expectations but now it's like it's getting really really good and then we're gonna watch Love Island of course we have to to watch actually cuz we forfeited ours last night we were like let's have to to watch tomorrow so now we have to watch tonight we have the Traders busy night for us I won't do that. I won't show it. I won't show it.  I'll blur it out. Okay Drew is he's part of the audience because he wants to see what's up with this two big mascara I was like just about to go to bed and wash my face and all that kind of stuff and I was like oh wait I gotta show this mascara so I mean it's held up well throughout the day but supposedly if you like wet your fingers water no it's like it comes off in like chunks instead of I guess let's find out no it's definitely smearing a lot wait what's happening am I doing it wrong oh see there it goes yeah you have to pull it you can't rub it look at all that is it easier to get off I usually use a makeup remover but I saw someone do it on Tiktok and I was curious whoa okay that's crazy okay don't rub it into your eyes like me I thought you could just do whatever but like I think it's better for like if you sweat or cry you can just I don't know the chunks come off instead of if I did this to my mascara and my normal mascara it would just be like smudged between my fingers but like look at this in the water that's wild okay I got tubes anyway gonna wash my face and go to bed now good night hello it is actually a few days later I am just getting ready to make myself like a little mid-morning snack kind of late breakfast hello am I in heaven and I thought that I would share it because I actually saw this on Tiktok back when I still had Tiktok that is one thing that I miss is like the recipe ideas but I saw this probably back in like November or something like that and I kind of had always thought about it and then I tried it I don't know a few weeks ago and I've become obsessed I love it so much and it's feta eggs oh my god it's so good let me set you down on this tripod here also if you can hear the rain in the background it is like the coziest rainiest day ever and it's making me so happy and I'm like do I need to live somewhere where it rains because like it's just making me so happy but I also love my sunshine too you know yesterday I took a walk and it was literally like 75 degrees and sunny and beautiful and now it's like cold and rainy and I kind of love that also yes I am wearing the same sweatshirt that I've been wearing all week I don't even remember if I've shown it in the blog I've been wearing this probably all week long actually and the same sweat pants and it's also like maybe three sizes too big and it's comfortable okay so okay what you're gonna mean you're gonna need some feta I tried this for the first time with like a better feta we had gone to Bristol farms which is like a fancy shamancy grocery store and they had like there were all different kinds of feta and that one was good this will be fine this is really all I have left you're gonna need a tortilla and you're gonna need some eggs so I believe I used two eggs for this and it's important to get your eggs ready to go beforehand because I have made that mistake and I'm like oh my god this feta is like sizzling on the pan and I need help so I'm gonna crowd our two eggs in here and beat them up these are our farmers market eggs that we're trying to get through so two of those eggs hold on now I have to wash my hands you can also do fried eggs for this I think a lot of people do end up doing that basically the point is that you put the feta on the pan let it get kind of like crispy or melty or whatever and then you crack your eggs or pour your eggs on top of it and then you put a tortilla on top of that and then you drizzle it with honey oh yeah that's another ingredient you're gonna need is honey sorry about that anyways you can use whatever kind of eggs work best for you I'm just not really a fried egg kind of gal it kind of skews me out a little bit so I'm gonna do scrambled I'm gonna do like a tiny bit of salt and pepper because the feta is already really salty we got our eggs mixed up next we're gonna heat up our pan and then in your pan you will put your feta I'm gonna do whatever's left in here there's really not that much but just use however much you like so I mean you would ideally have a little more than that and bigger clumps but there you go so we're gonna like let that cook a little bit and then pour the eggs on top of it alright so you can see it's like starting to bubble a little bit it gets depending on how crispy you want it you can let it cook for a bit I can see it's like starting to brown a little bit just gonna let it go a little bit further I would normally do more cheese than that actually you know what I think that's good so then pour eggs on top just to let it cook a little bit okay then you're gonna take your tortilla I've been using these almond flour siete tortillas I think the person I saw on TikTok use these so that's why I got them so you just like lay that flat on the top and then I will eventually flip this some people just like cover it and cook it like that but I like the tortilla to have just like a little bit of crunch so I'm gonna flip that in a minute I'm a little bit scared I'm gonna be brave okay you know what I've seen better but I've seen worse okay then when you feel like your tortilla is crispy enough mine actually might be a little bit overdone but that's okay you put it on your plate and then I'm gonna fold it over in half however the most important step is that you drizzle it with honey it's like something about the saltiness and like the sharpness of the feta mixed with the honey I do kind of a lot because it's just really good and then it kind of like melts and it's delicious so I don't know what that was like a teaspoon of honey probably and then you just fold it over I'm gonna have like a kiwi on the side with it hello how cute is that that's the cutest I'm sorry but this is just so beautiful like how cute okay let's take a bite I haven't had this yet with this type of feta so we'll see I put a lot of honey so fingers crossed cheers it's so good mmm it's like sweet honey like salty feta eggs which I'm whatever about eggs and then like a little bit of a crisp from the tortilla like look at that it's so good true try it but you didn't like it but I'm definitely like a sweet and salty kind the only thing is I think I overcooked these eggs because they taste like very eggy delicious hello it is a few hours later I'm on the couch I actually need to edit this vlog and I realized that I finished it and my camera is back there and I simply don't want to go grab it so we're just gonna end this on my phone but I'm in my comfy spot I spent many hours at the desk and now it is time to chill so gonna end this here just wanted to say thank you so much for watching this vlog thanks for hanging out with me I'm gonna enjoy the rest of this cozy rainy day and I will see you very soon in the next vlog


Narcissists always lose in the end, the reason why you feel hurt or bothered after dealing with a narcissist is because you think you could have done something different or something more, you think that it was because of something you did or didn't do and that is exactly what they'd like you to think because then it takes the heat off of them and then they can relax but what you need to understand is that what happened between you and them was not an isolated incident, they've had many failed relationships before you and they're going to have many more failed relationships after you're gone but you couldn't see it at the time because they were constantly blaming you, they were saying that you were the problem but if you were a fly on the ball in the other situations in their lives, if you could take a look at their interactions with other people in their past and you heard other people's stories and what other people have to say about them, especially people who they no longer talk to, you would have a very different perspective of them because although you may have opened up to them and told them everything that went on in your life, they never told you anything, you didn't know anything about them because they have a lot to hide, they have a lot of things that they don't want you to know which is why they always try to put the focus on you, they try to blame you for everything because otherwise it would open Pandora's box, it would generate many complicated problems for them which is why they have to hide behind a mask so that you don't see who they really are but what they've been doing to you is exactly what they've been doing to other people before you, that's why they're so good at it because they've had a lot of practice, they've had plenty of time to perfect their manipulation which is why it will seem like they're masters of their craft because they've already used it on many other people before you, they've loved bombed other people and then they've been valued and discarded them but once it happens to you and you move on, you don't know where they go after you're gone, you don't know what they're doing or who they're with, especially if you've moved on and you're happy then they don't want to hear from you because if they do it will only irritate them because you're in a better position than they are so they will keep out of sight, they will avoid detection and attention, they will go into hiding because they've got to recover from their injuries and hurt feelings, they've got to get back their strength after their defeat because they messed up again, everything they touch falls apart, it always goes wrong in the end and they're very self conscious so they get embarrassed, they don't want you to see their omission of expected or acquired action because they want you to think that everything's fine, that's why they put up these posts on social media and you see their full smiles as though they're happy without you because that's what they want you to think but that's not how it pans out for them in reality because they're stuck in an endless pattern of behaviour and it's inflexible so they can't change or adapt which is why time will reveal everything because if you checked back in with them after a few months and saw the other relationships or situations that they are in you would see the exact same thing you went through, that's how they're so good at it because they've done it before the length of the relationship just depends on how much you're willing to tolerate which is why they will eventually deliberately stay out of contact with you on their own and yet many of you will wonder why they're not hovering you but if you're doing better and you're happier without them that is the last thing they're going to do because they don't want to give you the satisfaction of having to watch you be better than them it's an unpleasant fact and situation that they don't want to accept so they will stay low, they will be quiet and they won't seem very forceful, emotional or noticeable so that they don't draw too much attention to themselves because they already know that they made a big mistake to where they can't get you back, they know they've done things that may be a deal breaker to you, things that may be important to you so they know they can't come back, they know you're not going to take them seriously after that so they will disappear, you won't cure from them because the possibility of them winning you over and competing for their faults is hardly anything, they know that they have no chance of doing that especially when you already know what they're about, when you already know what to expect from them so the only choice is to leave you alone and it should help you to focus on things that should be more important because it confirms something to you, it validates everything that you experienced with them when you see what they're doing after you're gone and what is going on with them because they end up in a worse situation than what they had with you so of course they're not going to come back after they've already taken a fall, after they've made a loss that's embarrassing for them, they don't have the same bold self assurance of style and manner as you do, they're very insecure because they're not as attractive, pleasing, interesting or enjoyable as they were before and they're aware of that so now all they can do is accept something unpleasant and difficult and they just have to keep out of sight, they have to go into hiding because that's all they can do but just know that you weren't the only one it wasn't their first road to you, they've done the same thing with other people before you and they're going to do it again after you're gone, they're constantly failing and they tend to end up in a worse situation after leaving you, they always downgrade because they're on a path of self-destruction, they behave recklessly and impulsively, they're always acting on their unstable emotions so there's no telling where they might end up next but it's going to be a worse situation than what they had with you they get worse with age, narcissists always lose in the end, it's not just something that happened with you, that wasn't an isolated incident, if you could be a fly on the wall, if you could see how they are or how they've been with other people before you, it would all make sense to you, you would see how they could treat you in that way because they've had years of practice of perfecting their craft of manipulation, they've done this to many people before you whether it's co-workers or their family or friends which is why if you observe their situation later down the line you will see that they're doing the same thing to someone else and now someone else is experiencing a loss, someone else is going through the exact same thing that you went through so it wasn't just you and when you realise that you will be able to see outside of your own perspective because some of them end up drinking excessive amounts of alcohol or doing drugs, some of them end up getting married or having children and then that goes wrong as well until they become physically weak they can't deal with things anymore, they've got no fight left in them so they're quick to backtrack with the draw, they're quick to give up on the very things that should be most important to them because by that point they've learned to not value anything in life since everything seems to fall apart because in the end they just end up harming themselves and if you're still around them then you will get caught up in that, thank you for watching if you found this video helpful please give it a thumbs up, share your thoughts in

This study developed an artificial neural network, ANN, cellular automata, CA, model called OICL-ANNCA to address limitations in land use simulations of coastal cities, specifically in simulating new urban land outside the research boundary. The model exhibited better simulation accuracy and effectively simulated new urban land expansion, providing a reference for delimiting the UDB and defining the research boundary for fast-growing coastal cities in China. This article was authored by Fei He, Jun Yang, Yucheng Zhong, and others.

Civil Society organizations, CSOs, have called on President Muhammad Bawari to immediately remove the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC Abu Rashid, but while over what he describes as the incestant disobedience of court orders and the seeming politicization of the agency's activities. Addressing a press conference in Lagos on Friday, the anti-corruption body numbered over 40 led by Comrade Olufemi Launcin alleged that the EFCC under Bawari brazenly disobeys court orders in such a manner that does not only undermine the institutions of Nigerian democracy but also indicates a contradiction to the anti-corruption agenda of the administration of President Muhammad Bawari. According to the anti-grat bodies, the situation has reached an embarrassing height where the commission's boss Bawari has been committed to prison modern ones within two months for clear breach of the extant orders of the court. Investors who only go to jurisdictions where the rule of law and respect for human rights are guaranteed and shunning countries where rule of men predominates. In the EFCC today, it's not about the rule of law, it's about the rule of men, it's about the wish of the chairman, it's about the wish of the leadership, not even what the court says or what the law says and we are saying enough is enough. It's the only reason that the bladder disobedience to valley court order by Bawari and the EFCC is coming under the use of efforts by stakeholders who give a nice more support for the rule against corruption in Nigeria. When there are troubles in the legislature, there are troubles in the executive, everybody look out to the judiciary at the last minute. So if we have a mind that will continually disregard court orders and choose the one that benefits him, it's a signal that we're going to have a leadership or government that will derail our democracy and we are saying this cannot continue in our time. It is our time that will be shown the way out and let's bring on board someone that will be above board and that will be less political in all his approach and disregard for court orders. At every interrogation conducted by EFCC, at every prosecution, he expects whoever is found guilty to go to prison, so we expect somebody like that to also test the prison. Where is taking those people to? Those people that have been convicted. They land themselves in prison. They should have gone there. I don't know why he's afraid. For three times now he has been convicted. For three times he has disobeyed. And so we are saying we will not tolerate this any further. And so Bawari must go. Bawari must go. The Lombasa Evacuation for Refusing to Act on Several Petitions submitted to aid stressing that the EFCC seems to be allowing itself to be used as an instrument of political winch-hunt targeting particular individuals. The CSOs declared that a culture of impunity as consistently exhibited by the EFCC chairman continues to ridicule Nigeria and the Committee of Nations and sabotage efforts at attracting foreign direct investment into the country. This is the same way the Governor of the Central Bank started from years back and we all patched it on, like it doesn't matter. We know where it has brought us at this time. We can also not afford to have an EFCC chairman who does everything only for political correctness. If he wants to play politics, he should go and join any of the political parties. You cannot be chairman of a body like the EFCC and be used as a legend of which on team members of the political parties or be flagring court orders. For the EFCC to recover its past glory, it wants to trace its steps with the present by overwhelming its leadership and immediately ask Mr. Bawa to step down as the chairman of the EFCC. Once again, we say enough is enough.


tip is make sure you pick the right weather pattern you don't want to get stuck in lightning up there here we go Q&A time Q&A time thanks for being here video number two publishing today let's roll lots of questions from all of you I'm gonna try and go a little faster these days you know as I as I just try to be as efficient as possible with your time question of the day should I consider turning this weekly Q&A into a podcast but huge caveat huge asterisk I've never done a podcast and I frankly don't have time right now to start a podcast but maybe there's somebody out there watching who is an expert in starting podcasts if you are maybe you could email me your top like five tips for starting a podcast I've never done it I love video production I'm not huge I'm not as big on audio so that's a question of the day should I consider starting a podcast a lot of people were mentioning that last week with last week's Q&A let's dive in here we go question number one Garrett on YouTube Seth have you ever considered doing a run vlog for dummies video or something like that like an episode where you go over my filming gear editing software etc and what you look for in a good running shot I think and that would be a super helpful vlog Garrett I think it's a great idea I've done some similar things about a year ago on how to basically start a YouTube channel but I like the idea of connecting it more so to running Garrett just to give you a few little and everybody else so I edit on a MacBook Pro I edit with Final Cut Pro not Adobe I'm not I have nothing against Adobe but I have been in the Final Cut Pro ecosystem that's the editing software for the videos for years and years and it's efficient it's easy and I love it so there you go for that Garrett I love Canon for cameras this is a Canon right here I love the color of Canon I think Canon captures color the best in my humble opinion and then what I look for in a good running shot Garrett great question I personally I think the best shots are the stationary shots not the moving shots so where the camera is stable but the subject is moving okay and the reason why is that allows you the viewer first of all to not see shaking and movement and it's like you know it's too much shaking I don't like but you can analyze my running form pick up on the clothing and the shoes that I'm wearing I just really like those stationary shots that have great perspective all right so that depth of field in the shot oh man we could get into it Garrett good question I will put it on the list I don't know when but I'll put it on the list for a running a run blogging for dummy's video love it question number two from Lars on YouTube Seth have you considered measuring your threshold for VO2 max in a lab would be interested to know your results Lars I'd be very open I think it costs a little bit of money if somebody out there owns a lab that can test a VO2 max I'd be very open to the idea I've never done it so I don't know what my VO2 max is and that would be amazing I think there's a lab up in Boulder Colorado that does it anyway if anybody out there has a lab let me know Lars good question moving on question number three Brandon on YouTube just a quick question about do I slow jog in between my intervals during a workout or do I come to a complete rest so Brandon I will just say and everybody else you don't want to you don't want to bend over and slouch over in between intervals no matter how hard you're breathing you want to try and stay upright and then just do this keep that chest cavity nice and open so you can get as much oxygen into your lungs as possible and then I will walk around Brandon in a hard hard workout for about 10 seconds and then I will start slow jogging as quick as possible sometimes I just go right into jogging but when it really hurts I really hurts and it's like that burning sensation or that kind of that copper you guys ever had that before copper taste in your mouth when you're just that lactic acid taste so great question Brandon my preferred action is to jog good question okay moving on to Josh on Strava Seth do you have any Gore-Tex trail shoes for the snow I'm from Buffalo New York and we get a lot of snow I'm going to try the Speed Goat for Gore-Tex I hope they keep my feet dry Josh on Strava I actually don't have any Gore-Tex shoe I do have one pair but we just again even though we have a lot of snow right now usually Denver stays overall pretty dry through the winter months the mountains get quite a bit of snow but Denver is does not get a lot of snow so but here's a couple ideas the Solomon Speed Cross 5 if you're looking for a more aggressive shoe this is not the Gore-Tex option but it does come Gore-Tex now and you know how much I love Solomon but it is more aggressive I would say if you live like in Vermont or you live in somewhere with like rolling hills and rolling dirt roads that are snow packed I would go out for a run in the Solomon Speed Cross 5 and then the Nike Pegasus 36 trail now has a Gore-Tex option I might actually buy it so today for my 13 mile run today I wore the Pegasus 36 trail on a bike path that was snow packed and I didn't slip once and what I love about the Pegasus 36 trail is the cushion so I chose this guy today because I was running on hard concrete with a layer of snow I did not slip at all so the lug depth is about three to four millimeters it's getting worn out now but I didn't slip today and it's just got that nice cushion so that's another option for you if you're looking for some real good aggression out there the La Sportiva Tempesta GTX I will I put about 120 miles on this shoe in 2018 and it does have a stabilizer in there this is when I was dealing with plantar fasciitis in 2018 anyway I went back and forth and decided that the stabilized shoe was not actually helping my plantar fasciitis but in the meantime I did put a lot of miles in this La Sportiva Tempesta it is Gore-Tex but it is a very aggressive outsole pattern so this would be more for the trails I would say and last but not least the Adidas Terrex agravic GTX I don't own that shoe but I've heard good reviews about the Adidas Terrex agravic I'm saying that right GTX thanks Josh here we go moving on to James on Strava let me take a quick drink hold on gotta stay hydrated we're at altitude it's dry here in the winter you know how it is mm-hmm okay James on Strava and this is in reference to my 20 mile run that I did I think on Wednesday he asked was this your long run for the week if so what sort of pace do you try to go at James I do love seven-minute pace for my long runs early in a training block I will do about maybe like 720 to 730 a mile and there it is in kilometers on your screen later in the training block when I'm feeling more fit so in about three weeks from now I will drop that down to 630 to 645 as long as I feel good and the body's feeling good if not no problem I'll back it off to back to 730s again and there it is again in kilometers so James good question that would be my range and again you have to keep in mind I'm at altitude so everything is just a little different up here in altitude all right and this is actually another so this is another question this one Stewart actually yeah we'll go with this one first Stewart on Twitter another shoe question hey Seth looking for a bit of advice I want a well-patted shoe as I run mostly on pavement I was keen to get a pair of hokas but I hear they are not very wide in the tow box can you recommend a wide shoe with plenty of sole please kind regard Stewart on Twitter actually Stewart the Hoka Bondi 6 is a wider shoe from Hoka and it's the most cushioned well-cushioned shoe I think that Hoka has so the Hoka Bondi 6 spelled B-O-N-D-I check it out you maybe have already checked it out but that's definitely an option the Brooks Ghost 12 okay the Sakini echelon 7 check that one out and then lastly I wrote it down to oh yeah here we go the ultra touring this is not the plush but the ultra touring for plush I love love love this touring for my recovery days I don't run in it anymore and I need to pick up another pair of Torrens very soon but I love the Torren so that but it is zero drop so keep that in mind Stewart and I think the midsole material that they're using in the Torren lineup is awesome I don't know what it is but I'm telling you still but again it's zero drop so if you're not used to zero drop it might not work for you and all four of those shoes are wider especially the Brooks what I have found through time is Brooks is always just a little wider footbed and what I when I say footbed that is inside the shoe so inside the shoe where your foot is literally resting on the bed of the shoe inside inside yeah inside all right moving on here we go this is back to New York Mike on Twitter he says I've been running about eight months then this is a little repetitive so I'll connect it back to the previous couple questions I'm looking for a winter running shoe for road and gravel trails thinking Hoka speedo 3 mad river TR Brooks Cascadia 13 thoughts Mike on Twitter so he lives in Rochester lots of snow in Rochester in Buffalo I feel for you stay strong you've got this you can train outside no dreadmill in New York right so I personally I love love love the Sockney mad River TR value actually I I think this is on sale for 98 dollars right now Sockney mad River TR it is down below I saw it yesterday I don't know if it's still on sale but yesterday for 88 dollars amazing this is gonna go down as probably a top three trail running shoes of 2019 for me it is a little wider actually so back to the previous question Stewart maybe not as much midsole cushion as you would like Stewart but I love the shoe this is not Gore-Tex but it does have a lot of good draining built into the shoe as you know and this is Mike on Twitter if you wanted and it depends on the type of snow you're running in of course if it's like a really slushy wet snow I'm trying to think of like a urban like a Philadelphia I don't know or Washington DC or Kansas City maybe but where there's like a lot of slush I don't know you could drill holes in the bottom of the shoe and let the water drain out so good question Mike on Twitter I also love the Hoka speed go for I know you mentioned the three if you can find a three in your size and save a little money I think that's great but I am really loving the speed goat for inside I didn't bring it out right now alright moving on love this everybody hope you're enjoying this Q&A I try to keep it as lively as possible let's keep rolling Kevin on Twitter a lot of questions on Twitter I love it hi Seth love the vlog I'm new to foam rolling oh here we go and of watch your rolling episodes when do you do your foam rolling only on off days before workouts after workouts I'm finding different perspectives so Kevin I am not a doctor I'm not a nurse I'm just a runner I'm not a physician physician's assistant I'm not a massage therapist I'm just a runner trying to take care of my body and trying to make my body feel like I can function and then I can live and then I can get out of my bed in the morning because sometimes my legs are like I don't know about you all and probably as we all you know get a little older it's like every day I'm like okay this is good I can get out of like there's not a ton of pain and then there's other days are my online goodness it's gonna take me 30 45 minutes just to wake the body up by walking around the house so Kevin I foam roll every day and I use foam rolling to warm up the muscles before my run and usually not always but usually before I start stretching okay regular foam roller or the electric foam roller do will do both will do the trick well if it's the electric foam roller which is inside I use the lowest setting and then when I get home for my run I'll do more foam rolling and if it's after a long run or a hard workout or I'm just tired I will use the electric one on like level two sometimes three three is probably too intense but level two and I'm telling you just to loosen everything up in fact I'm gonna go inside after this and foam roll and just to loosen everything up and I just it makes me feel so much better Kevin I don't know what else what else to say so I don't know what you're reading about differing perspectives but I foam roll every day now the trigger point to be careful when I bought this in the spring of 2019 I could barely use this on my quads on my glutes it just I dug in so much it hurts so bad but now I can barely feel these ridges and this is I seven months later so I probably use the trigger point two to three days a week and remember my hip has been a little tight with the help of my massage therapist stretching epsom salt baths and this guy I do believe my hips feeling really really good today now we'll see how it feels tomorrow and the next day but anyway I hope that helps Kevin on Twitter I do I'm not afraid to foam roll now I don't foam roll like my IT bands every day which I know some people say don't do that but so anyway thank you Kevin great question moving on Moby on YouTube I love this question how did you meet true love all right Moby you nailed it great question so we met in oh boy here we go 2010 all right spring of 2010 at an Irish pub in downtown Denver who's been to the Celtic in downtown Denver it's actually moved it moved locations but we met at the old location it was a mutual friends birthday party I actually met true loves sister first who she basically invited me to this birthday party and kind of actually all right here it goes here it goes I met Bridget sister first at a house party and we were talking at this house party you know talked maybe for 10 minutes I don't know and she and Bridget you know true love she likes to go to bed early she likes she's a homebody and so she was not at this house party so her sister leaves the house party drives to Bridget where Bridget's living where they they lived in a carriage house in South Denver and woke Bridget up at 1 a.m. and said I just met your new best friend what so Bridget sister gets a lot of kudos because then she invited me to this birthday party at the Celtic in downtown Denver like a week later Bridget and I met there and Bridget's maiden name is Sweeney and so she's a very Irish passionate Irish lassie and that is how true love and I met great question Moby on YouTube oh I love it okay moving on I know I'm going long here I'm gonna try and go a little more rapid here mind on YouTube asks how do you feel about people under 18 running marathons or possibly even longer distances I sometimes see age requirements for marathon sign-ups you must be over 18 and I'm curious what your take is on this mind on YouTube I would say and you know like I ran a half marathon me as a I think it's a 13 year old and I think 18 is not too early for a marathon but now keep in mind mind is that your body is still developing I believe you know your bone density is still developing a lot of things are still developing as an 18 year old so I would be careful I wouldn't completely discourage it but I would just say mind that long-term you might have more fun if you hone in on speed at some shorter distances I'm just putting it out there as a consideration I bet you would enjoy half marathons maybe like a 25k so that's about 15 or 16 miles and then just be patient and wait for that marathon distance just putting it out there but I'm not totally against it I don't think it's gonna ruin you ruin your bot now for like a under 15 year old to go run a marathon like I probably wouldn't advise that I'm just I'm just gonna say that right now all right good question moving on Michael on YouTube do you have any advice for someone wanting to start running 14ers or mountains in general that's Michael good name Michael Michael of course we got to start with hiking right we got to make sure we can hike up a 14er I've got I've gotten this question before in the past from some actually friends here in Denver and I just tell them like listen first we got a hike let's make sure we can hike a 14er and at a pretty good pace and then let's start mixing in the running Michael I would also say and I actually didn't really think this answer through so this is just speaking off of that speaking from my gut here is make sure you have the right equipment the right shoes you know a vest to carry the water carry the you probably already own these items and then I would recommend easy 14ers to start so quandary or sorry not quandary beer stat probably graze you know how much I love graze and and okay Michael I'm just thinking as I go here I would start by going halfway up the fort go to treeline okay say say to yourself today I'm gonna run to treeline and then I'm gonna hike the rest of the way or I'm going to hike to treeline and then I'm gonna run for a mile above treeline and then I'm gonna hike the rest of the way just kind of break it up a little bit you don't just have to go run at all in your first bout um let me just think if I can give you one more tip tip tip tip tip is make sure you pick the right weather pattern you don't want to get stuck in lightning up there okay I'm gonna leave it there Michael thank you for the question I you caught me off guard there a little bit I I hope I gave you what you were looking for but it's a big topic bottom line it's a lot of fun it's a lot of fun a lot of fun everyone if you can run from the trailhead to the top of a 14er without stopping it's hard to do I I I'm trying to think yeah when I first started I could not really do it it was if I was doing it was very slow but if you can get there you know your fitness level is really high because it's really hard to do but it's really fun and it might be a slow slow jog but it's really fun to accomplish that goal okay moving on we're almost done Doug on YouTube Seth hey Seth would it be sufficient to just put the spencoe on top of the insole I'm reluctant to take out the insole of my RIN cons RIN cons RIN cones I think it's RIN cons considering their glued on Doug on YouTube so here's my RIN cons Doug you are correct they hold on here and Doug you probably remember hold on there we go so I actually did pull mine out and the glue did come off and hoca this is this is ridiculous this insole is I don't want it's ridiculous look it's paper thin I don't know what you're doing I'm trying to figure it out you've got a lot of money put a better insole into your RIN cons it's I'm right absolutely insane so Doug I think it is okay to put spencoe on top of the insole but I would advise if you can put it under it just is gonna be a little more snug fit and some insole's have a little more arch support built into them hold on hold on hold on we're not gonna pull that one out that was the here we go so like this Pegasus 36 trail has a little more arch support built into it and I don't I wouldn't want the spencoe to take away from that little bit of arch support you might get there so Doug I pulled mine out I the RIN cons and it did fine so I think you could pull it out as far as even though it's glued down and you'll be able to put that insole back in no problem all right last question I thanks for bearing with me everybody hope you're getting some value out of this do you consider oh my goodness I should probably mention so Doug for everybody this is spencoe this green extra padding that I put in a lot of my shoes just to help with a little bit of extra cushion especially when you have paper thin insole's hookah hookah okay calling you out do you consider negative split pacing at all for your road marathons that is from Jennifer on YouTube Jennifer I had that idea going into New York after my lesson in Amsterdam it did not pan out oh my goodness I'm spacing on his name right now the gentleman I ran with oh not I'm sorry I'll put it on the screen I'm so sorry I can't remember his name but anyway Jennifer I tried pacing with this gentleman and we went out a little slow and it's really hard I think to negative split it's pretty like some of the best marathon runners can can even split really well negative split I've never been a great negative splitter so going into Houston Jennifer I am going like I want and I got talked to the pacing group that I'm gonna be running with I want like 10845 or 109 or 10915 like that 30 second window I want to I want to go out a little faster because I just know those last three miles it's haul like I want a little buffer is what I'm saying Jennifer it's really for me negative splitting especially a marathon when you're hitting the wall the last six miles especially for me the last three miles it's hard so good question Jennifer I hope that helps that wraps up this week's Q&A feel free to email me or Instagram's just so you know Instagram's get a little crazy there's hundreds of messages there I can't type fast I just can't type fast enough I'm doing my best if I haven't gotten back it back to you that is why there you go all right we're gonna toss it back to the right to last week's Q&A and on the left on that box on the left click on that if you're gonna want to go back to the live stream playlist where we go into a lot of different topics there you go seek beauty work hard and love each other see you tomorrow


My name is Adi Boros, I'm from cgmasters.net, and before that I was worked at a games company called TT Games, and a part of that was TT Fusion, part of the whole Warner Brothers interactive entertainment stuff, and I've kind of rolled forward to about a year ago, we were thinking to do some kind of project, trying to test what Blender could do with a certain theme, and so we hooked up with Gleb Alexandrov from Creative Shrimp, who's this really unknown kind of up and comer, actually no, he was just on that screen over here, it's like the only face I can make out at the moment, because it's very bright, but yeah, so we got together and thought well let's do something to do with space, because first of all it's like a super inspiring backdrop to use to create loads of inspiring stories, and it just looks cool anyway, so that's a good start, and so we basically got together, so how could we do that, and then try and share a lot of those ideas, so the problem with space is it's a bit on the big side, and what happens there is you get something like this, that even is a slide that makes me wince, but basically we're going to need to find a lot of ways to kind of get around, how do you actually really do that, how do you create some sort of astronomical scenes, because we kind of agreed that we didn't necessarily want to represent it as a kind of a scientific project, we kind of felt sort of compelled to give that idea a go, because you know something about the Blender community makes us think it should be authentic as possible and everything, but we kind of went with the kind of more leaned heavily on the artistic side, and kind of the cheating side of it if you will, so it's not kind of obviously a problem completely unique to us or anything, this is an issue that has been, you know, dwelled with a lot, and kind of really delved into deep on many different films and projects and so on, so for example, other people have cheated, and kind of it's the illusion of things, so for example on the left here this R2D2, might be surprising for some people in the Netherlands to see that there are people this small that can fit into a little thing like that, and then similarly to the people in the Netherlands that person isn't normally sized, this isn't, actually yes of course that isn't a giant or anything, that obviously is a miniature, so obviously creating an illusion is perfectly fine, it's completely okay to kind of just do whatever it takes to get the job done, and obviously the audience is along with you on the ride to kind of suspend disbelief a little bit, so with that in mind we wanted to try and break down how to try and sort of get into the various things that we were going to need to do, which was basically create some sort of infinite detail I suppose, so that was kind of borrowing and stealing other tricks and tips from other things, so for example working in the games industry, something that's very very common that you might do is work with a seamless texture, working in all very borders of the image, this is obviously not exactly that fresh an idea, but you just make the image tile so that the very borders of this image don't look like they kind of stop at a very clear line and instead sort of tile, and you can kind of get away with that a little bit, but if you scale it up too much it's you're going to start seeing a pattern, but if you apply that very same texture just to kind of a sphere basically and light it, you can kind of see you don't really get to see very much in the way of repetition, but if you zoom in on that even with say something like a 16k texture, so depending on what kind of space shot we wanted, what kind of ships were kind of flying through this thing and we wanted to kind of keep on top or something, if you get too close into a planet like that obviously you're going to need to find a different solution, so just tile it up, but from this vantage point I guess you can see that you can start to see lots of repetitious detail, but when you zoom in it starts to look okay, so it's going to look okay at one scale, but it's not going to look okay at another, but that's kind of a little trick in itself because I've jumped forward there, that isn't as tiled as it was in the last scene, it's actually tiled like that, so you know we need an issue, we need some sort of way to be able to get through that and yes that's a gif and it's actually playing the movie, all right cool, so we have this seamless texture on the left of this asteroids and on the right hand side there you can see basically what we're doing is fading into that texture, you can just about make out like if you get the right kind of point that you zoom in, fade into it then you can have it so it doesn't look too obviously just suddenly fading in, this is the kind of setup for that, so I want you to try and put as much technical detail you know like kind of node kind of specifics in this talk as possible which some people might find a bit frustrating or slow or something, but I'm just going to try and get through this as quickly as possible, so on the top there that's the not tiling version, at the bottom that's tiling lots and lots and lots and it's going into this end mix node over here, so basically that's those are the two textures which go into that mix node, the thing that's driving the factor though is this camera data node, we're taking the view distance out and we've got the first math node is just set to divide and then the value you give it is going to be the amount of blender units where this kind of distance fade starts to kick in, so 1.5 blender units are in it's going to start fading into that or the second texture, the thing is is that this next math node that we have there that's set to power that is a distance speed I suppose you could say the fade speed I should say and that is set to 1 at the moment so it's not going to do anything but if you kind of crank that right up it can fade really really quickly into that next image so you can kind of really really fine tune that and then also we another way to be able to get as much detail as possible is to take a look at more procedural texturing so that's where this noise texture is amazingly useful even just as simple as that you can get a lot of that get a lot out of that but we'll come back to that in a little bit the what I wanted to talk about first is the fact that that same kind of procedural texture it just doesn't have to kind of influence the actual visual pixels of it in terms of color and brightness and so on it can actually distort the positions that we've probably all seen so here's a kind of pebble shaped sphere that's been just kind of squashed a little bit and you can see more or less the resolution of it but obviously if you kind of take those same sorts of procedural textures you can see what we're using on there is we're taking it into a displacement modifier and it's using that procedural texture that you can see on the bottom right and then we kind of just smooth it a little bit but the key thing that we're doing there is let me see if I can just point to this field here you can see that that bit is where we're setting another object as its coordinates and that becomes important a little bit later on but otherwise we can just sort of start stacking up lots and lots of these procedural textures on top to kind of get the various different details that we were looking for out of asteroids because it was obviously going to take us a very long time to create a lot and lot of asteroids so we need to figure out ways to do that and you can see you can use the color ramp down there to really kind of start to change where you fade in to brightnesses and the various dark values so you can get the bright bits are going to push it out and the dark bits are going to push it in and mid gray should leave it flat and then put it through just put a bit of a diffuse texture on there similar as we were looking at before with that same seamless texture and then what we're doing here is as I was saying about the texture coordinates that we're using using another object which was just stay in place you can see that we've got these four different asteroids but have a different kind of portion of that texture so you can kind of as long as we move the asteroid somewhere else you've got to get an infinite amount of asteroids basically so then we just put that into an asteroid field throw some other little bits and pieces of effects in there so with that though by the way the farther away that they get from the camera it's okay to just go on very low resolution otherwise you'll get that second image that we did before whether it just out of memory so anyway right bring in some of those sorts of same sort of ideas to take a look at planets we've got this image here which on the left hand side we just got a moon texture and if you combine that with I say a Mars texture and but use the third texture like this IO here that we've got as a mask you can see the results of that on the right hand side and then you can sort of change the texture position and create any number of unusual planets very very quickly like these for example but you might be thinking well what do you mean by just grab a texture you know well these are the sorts of textures that we'd get you know so these equirectangular maps are really useful very easy to apply to the model and you can see that this is the location of where they we've got this image at the top like for example that's the website there if you want to grab and do similar things they're kind of mixed from the NASA details I think and this is another one this is Mars and then you've got there the NASA 3d resources which are really good so if anyone wants to kind of dig into that in more detail I highly recommend it it's got really cool 3d models as well as textures on there blend files even sort of like the curiosity rover and things like that it's really cool stuff and that's what it looks like when we apply that Mars texture for example on to the sphere you can see the little red arrow there all I'm doing is actually literally just putting it on just really simple shader just putting the just changing that texture coordinates there to the sphere option and basically it does the rest for you it's really really easy but if you did need to do in UVs for some reason so for example you were taking it into a game or something then now in 2.7 9 we have the generate UVs and we actually get this is only available when you actually create the object though and it actually does deliver you some pretty decent UVs which look basically like that so you can tweak them a little bit if you want to at that stage but that's a lesser much faster than what we had to do before and now what we can do is basically if we want to transfer what we did in the really really super simple version that we did before because we were trying to do things as fast as possible you can see that we've got you can see we're basically selecting that object and at the top there those four top nodes those are the ones that we saw from before that's what's actually showing on the planet but this texture at the bottom is just create a new texture at the dimensions you want and then hit bake for an omit pass and then it's you've now got your UVs so you can now bake out that texture and then apply it onto the model and it's super simple if you want to get into games and stuff so let's take a little bit more of a look at the noise stuff so yeah let's see so with this we wanted to take a look at kind of create a procedural planet basically so one of the issues with that is that what we want to do is be able to create node groups and so on or at least kind of suggest how you might be able to do that and one of the issues or one of the ways in which it makes it very quickly and easy to get confused is that the fact that you the color ramp which is awesome you can just use really easily just shift that black flag thing over here sort of towards the middle and then you're going to kind of crunch down all that lower end instead of it being black to mid gray now we're going to sort of remove a lot of that black to mid gray and now that's all just going to become black so the problem with that though is that we can't really plug those sliders into kind of a group node which was talked about on another talk in fact actually which I recommend checking out from mad animation I think it was and they've got a really cool node set up to be able to deal with that this is another way to be able to deal with that it's possibly kind of just a simpler kind of hack I suppose but what we could do is instead of using the color ramp just use the RGB curves instead which is if you click on one of those points you get this little X and Y at the bottom there and now if you just kind of move that to 0.5 it basically does exactly the same thing as we did before so just kind of come just comparing the color ramp at the bottom and the RGB curves that basically exactly the same the problem is on the outside of the RGB curves though we're going to get some crazy figures because I can go way outside of 0.1 or way below 0.1 above 1 so sometimes you might need actually just a color ramp anyway at the end of it just to sort of clamp off those details otherwise you can get some crazy stuff but otherwise once you have that you then have the special thing about the RGB curves is that we have the factor slider so once we take that at 0 we're not using it at all and then when we slide it all the way down to 1 it's kind of the same thing as just chucking your black flag of that color ramp and plugging it all the way over so basically now you have a slider that you can actually plug into a kind of node group or something ways to kind of kind of get a little bit further with that is the fact that you can plug in a mix node into the factor of the RGB curves and then just set up two value nodes to kind of give you your whatever you want to set as your boundary so what your lowest value is and what your highest value is so for example in the RGB curves node by default that goes down to minus one and up to one but if you want to go outside of those values you can do so for example with a color ramp you just want to go from zero to one often so you can just kind of set up that and then to do the other side kind of the white flag you can see these sorts of nodes over here just those last four on the side that's basically exactly the same set up as this but instead of it doing it for the moving the left hand side over which is moving the right hand side over and now we've got two sliders which would be this value here and that value we can basically just plug that into a node group if we wanted to so with that we can take a look at some of the noise that we can put into other things so for example we did this kind of the gas rings instead of obviously modeling the individual pieces of dust if it's far far enough away what we can do is just use again more noise so just create a disk of geometry just a single layer and then use the wave texture so what we've got here is the texture coordinates going into a wave texture in fact actually no sorry the texture coordinate isn't going into that wave texture yet it's just using the generated coordinates by default which gives you this kind of crazy idea which I wonder if that's somewhere in the universe but anyway alright so you have this object coordinates that you can put into this wave texture instead and that gives us what we want but it's kind of a bit too uniform bit too you know obviously it just looks way too more just too simple so what we want to do is simply plug that wave texture instead into a noise texture and just kind of control that scale there until we get something that we think looks appealing and then from there we just want to add in a gradient texture because otherwise you're gonna get that hash transition at the very edges of the geometry on one side you have so we're just gonna plug in that gradient texture again informed by some UV's so just kind of separate out the UV's into just a flat line and then what we want to do is take that gradient texture into the color ramp color ramps going into that from black to white to black which it goes which we can see from the very edges of that the geometry that we've got and then it's going into a power node just to control the fade so when we add them together well multiply them together I should say with this node at the end we can then get the whole detail and that's just a really simple shaders like couldn't be simpler really just going into a mixed shader into the factor transparency and diffuse so that you can get the shadow of the planet kind of obscuring a lot of the areas of the actual rings themselves so let's take a little bit more of a look at some noise so nature's pretty noisy it's good to get a good handle on that noise so basically every scale so you've got like the Brownian motion of like a suspended particle of pollen in fluid you know and from the noisy pattern of a mosquito flying around or like a the clearly the the arrangement of stars in the sky so we really want to get a handle on that noise and kind of how we're gonna go about doing that so what we might think to do on doing some sort of kind of big nebula type scene is to try and turn to the volumetric tools which is really cool but they do take a long time to render sometimes those times can be astronomical but thank you there might be several of those pins coming let's see so so basically what we want to do is take the noise texture which is just on that color amp there which is using that to increase contrast a little bit and then the power node is just to kind of change the fade of it a little bit some of these but what we can do is really get noisy with the noise is the point I'm trying to make here which is just plug a noise texture into the noise vector then you can get again this is you get a much more sort of type of details there's far more contrast I hope it's kind of comes across in these these images here you get a more definition and then what you can do instead of just going straight into it to give yourself some more control we want to be able to take the noise and kind of add it into the vector instead the problem with that though and let's see if this slide even works which it may not do which is not going to do but I'll just explain it I'm gonna somehow abstractly describe noise all right so basically the noise when you add it like that you're adding it only in positive values so what happens is the noise has the appearance of basically sliding down into the bottom left so just to kind of try and improve that a little bit what we can do is we can instead subtract 0.5 bar text actually covered this in pretty big detail actually a few years ago at the conference and so just set an RGB value of 0.5 and in the second socket there and then when you end up basically get into the next invisible slide you would then see the fact that it kind of almost looks like a 3d it sort of almost looks like it goes into a little bit more depth on that image and it is actually looks far more convincing which we'll hopefully see shortly so at that point then we have various different controls that we can just take out which have put into decided to put into that red frame and the side there so various different values what the key thing that I'm trying to point out on this one is that the what really looks cool with that noise to give it that extra bit of contrast is to make sure the values for the scale detail and distortion are the same so on the on the noise texture that's informed in the vectors and the noise texture that's informed in the the grayscale values that you end up seeing so with that we have an image so this is the kind of ideas that we did to try and sort of fade into the nebula kind of just or cloud you know you can adjust this technique to sort of work with just as a clouds fly through kind of idea it's quite low resolution on this screen though it's I mean you can go as high resolution as you want to that's the whole point of it really but on this little file to try and make sure it works in the talk it's just kind of scaled down a little bit and so yeah the rather than reaching for those volumetrics shaders and so on what we've doing instead is just tricking it this is another kind of games technique you might do and that's just a plane which is set into an array and it's kind of loads of those planes and the camera just goes straight down to be able to do that to kind of explain kind of why that works is because our noise the amazing thing about the noise is that it is 3d noise so you can see on this lower left you can if you scale the noise and kind of create enough contrast you could see the noise is all different but it's obviously related it's kind of packed together and so that's the trick when you kind of go through it and use your camera fade node that we talked about at the beginning you don't get any of those hard transitions you basically just it just looks like you're kind of taking volumetric slices basically so with that you've got the just you can mix together various different sorts of noise so on here we've got the two sorts of noises we have the just different scales kind of combine them together and the point I'm making here is just that it's really simple that node at the end is just a distance fade the the group that you can see over here that's just that basically the same sort of set up that we talked about earlier on and otherwise you want to definitely if you just leave it at that though you might actually notice that what you're looking at is just pure white which is probably would put off a lot of people I think at that point maybe just give up on the technique and kind of whatever I'll figure out a different way to do it but if you kind of take the color values instead all the stuff in this frame again pretty simple stuff it's just a noise texture and then we have the hue saturation value and a multiply so if you take this multiply node and then in this second socket you just put a little color value and make it full white you can basically just get something which sort of starts to tint the whole nebula something that of your choosing and then you could just change the contrast and then over here you could also use the color management so for example like filmic and this kind of thing so with that there's that noise as well just to bring it back to what we talked about before about making noisy noise you can basically take these three nodes here I've just been replaced with that whole node setup that you saw the insides of before and you kind of get a lot more sort of definition that I mean this is just noise but it's starting to resemble a lot more of like bit more authentic kind of large scale dust I suppose okay so what was here let's move on wormholes so yes this has been sort of looked at in lots of different ways these various films everyone always kind of has approached this subject in many different ways film contact 2001 and more recently Thor and we can basically take a lot of that as inspiration it's obviously like theoretical stuff no one's been out there and taken any sort of reference images to create this sort of stuff so it's we're kind of down to our own imagination on this one the way we've tried to go about it is kind of this sort of idea again it's very low resolution you can kind of go as you know as high detailed and as high as many frames as you want so for this kind of thing again the the idea is we this could go on infinitely you could just as long as however this long the segment was maybe it was supposed to feature for the entire length of a song or something and you wanted to try and create like a massive loop or something along these sorts of lines the way to get infinite detail on that is again to kind of take a look at procedural noise but this time to just work it like this so instead of actually the camera flying zooming down the geometry we just take a bit of cylinder and then just add some extra bevels down the cylinder just to get that extra smooth geometry and it's rigged using bending bones and then at the very end the very tip of the the sort of wormhole there is has a bone on there and we're using this procedural noise this time so we could just have this go and extend for as long as we wanted well all we've done is place one key frame and then here in the noise is just our you know again just some procedural detail and you just set that as to be as fast or as you know you just change the scale and strength to kind of please whatever you want to do with it so with that you know in general we just learned a lot of interesting things about space so for example this is to create a kind of a sun object we learned that our sun is actually pretty surprising because well kind of important in a way is not just because it's given us all life obviously obviously have a certain effect kind of we like it for a lot of reasons but the kind of an interesting from a scientific point of view is the fact that it's one of the most spherical objects in the visible universe that we can see you know so it's a kind of an unusual thing I thought oh that's quite cool it's not most sort of celestial objects like this kind of a little bit more wider around the waist shall we say so that was you know we've kind of uncovered some interesting things that we enjoyed on the project an asteroid for example this is not at all usually as far as I'm aware anyway is you don't get this that whenever you see kind of asteroid fields and it's kind of you can see from one asteroid to another asteroid and it's like close and you know something's flying through there and it's dangerously you know you're gonna blow up or something that just doesn't happen you could basically it's much more likely that you would stand on one asteroid and then look out all directions to turn look where the nearest other asteroid is and see nothing so what is that good art no I don't think so so you may have heard something like this before creativity is the art of concealing your sources which or in other words you know sometimes steal like an artist is another expression so I think you know I kind of see that as being a sort of you know we're taking influence from something we are doing that whether we like it or not we are always influenced by us around insore our culture or where whatever it may be and so how I feel that's an important phrase is because if you are gonna be influenced anyway it's best to be deliberate about your influence so kind of you know take the ideas that you want deliberately and solve you know so you could be more direct and have more purpose with you know more hopefully more be more effective with that idea and in a similar way kind of just tie it together as a theme you know we're sort of talking about just to cheat like an artist as well so as we said at the start it's like a whole suspension of disbelief we want the audience to come along with us for the ride and thank you for coming along on this ride as I've gone through all this stuff thank you very much
