The following is a presentation of TFNN the Tiger Technician Hour with your host Basil Chapman call now for free at 1-877-927-6648. Good morning everyone Basil Chapman on this Tuesday Tuesday the 20th of February whoops is zipping through February so quickly and actually I think from now on we don't have all these public holidays for quite a while meantime this is quickly look at the Dow the Dow is it was down in the fuses quite a bit earlier now it's down 30 in the cash Walmart helped it a lot to rally it's at down 28 to 38,598 holding quite nicely S&P risk it right to this S&P right now is down 30 at 49 75 got that dreaded H pattern look at this arch formation that's forming but that's young this week is young it's just barely begun and there is the QQQ just took out the left side low this is that pattern that I call the dreaded H I'm going to go to the IWM right now the IWM is the Russell 2000 down two and a half at 199 not too bad but not looking too great I want to also go to gold because gold had a nice rally earlier on is holding that rally up 15 at 2039 all the technicals is just a yep that's fine they can have a rally but I'm not sure that it's just more than a bounce of this particular point I'll go to silver just for the moment silver is acting it's a little bit weak down 31 cents at 23.18 that 200 period moving average at 2367 is a big problem I want to go to high grade carpet at a fabulous two days actually up again today well this is really quite interesting we've got a mixed market here in the sense that the high grade cup is telling us internationally maybe things are a little bit better than one would expect let's go to I just want to go to the bonds right now bonds are up 10 30 seconds yeah trying to establish some kind of a base in which to ready so yields can come down a little bit we're going to be watching that very closely and the other thing I want to look at is crude oil crude oil at this particular point is down 67 cents and we've got a caller we've got right off the bat we've got John in Philly John how are you hope you had a good weekend as well excellent weekend how about yourself very good thank you good basil I wanted to ask your assistance please on the NDX 100 the QQQ's basil first two observations one we can clearly see as plain to see the rallies very extended lots of bullish sentiments embedded in the market and the rally has stalled the past six days we know that's number two some important founder chief executives have been liquidating stock up here Jensen Wong of NVIDIA has been picking up his Zuckerberg a Facebook meta has been doing the same Tommy O'Brien last week shared with us how Berkshire Hathaway had begun a program of pairing back its very large position in Apple we know that Jeff Bezos sold out six billion dollars worth of stock of Amazon just in the past six seven trading days and very interestingly enough I only learned this is past weekend the Bill Gates Foundation liquidated in the past time and when I say time it might mean the past 60 days I'm not sure precisely what but liquidated 65% of the common equity holdings so we have all these big powerful players that are selling to some extent so now my question to you basil now that the QQQ rally clearly a stall just a bit is there anything in your work that would give you guidance in making an educated guess how far down this might go so John the question and the statements that you're making are all very pertinent to what we're looking at right now now on Friday I was about to do it and I just there were other things that were going on in my program so I skipped it but I have a list exactly what you're talking about of the sales and in Amazon and just as you say in many of the major companies there's been a lot of selling now one of the things I look at is the selling as a proportion of what they have I wouldn't call it an eye blink but it is really very very small to their total holdings what I am fascinated with is that there were a number of buys with inside a buying that what it was kind of under the radar but it was not in these kinds of stocks so when selling comes by when it comes you know you never know when it comes to selling exactly the reason there could be oh you know maybe you know a little tuition problem there so we need to sell 12 million shares no I think it's selling very very often is an organized selling and it is a way of saying you know this is unbelievable I can't believe what's going on this is I've got to take some money off and all the advisors are saying take some money off so I take it seriously in the sense that it is a market a visual that says to you oh let's watch this closely because they they're not taking it off and timing it always in the sense of getting the exact timing except when I looked at the dates they were last week some of the Amazon sales were huge and they were they were last week at the very you know the very thickest of the market maybe making a turn so I do take it seriously in that regard not so much just because it's a timing thing it just happens in this case to coincide with what I've been talking about that everything I'm looking at suggests we should have a consolidation so let's just set that aside and it's saying you know it could be like I'm looking at the round numbers those those are important it's what happens afterwards that really makes it important or not at this moment it is something to observe in a week's time it's something to generate say aha and then you can say well what did they know and how did they know it but that's not the case and let's just look at the chart rather than talk about the other things that are peripheral right now but could become really important so the one thing I'm looking at here is we've got a peak f in the Chapman wave in the QQQ at 439.14 there was a gap down and the gap down almost filled the gap it might even have touched the low of the high all-time high that was the high I may as well do it while we're talking about it so fourth 439.14 on the 12th of February the low was 434.65 and what was the high on the bounds of 434.96 yeah I just filled the gap not the point the point is and I'll just get this up here because we always have new new people listening to TFNN there's a technique that I developed a long time ago where I look at patterns after I can just move that away and get it I look at patterns and there's one pattern that we've been looking at forever and it's the pattern that way it comes down sharply it makes an arch formation it fails at a peak A or a peak B that's the first peak on the upside or the second peak and then it takes out the left side low I as a joke back in 2003 or 2002 I call this the dreaded age because it was happening in the gold stocks that had made a major top and we call them the dreaded age because if it took out the left side low it could go quite a bit low but it's just taken it out and it's actually accelerating as we talk so John I don't know if you want to hold on I'll talk about it but I know sometimes you like to go back to your work and listen so I'll I'll be talking about this particular pattern as we return the dials down 67 thank you if you're looking for potential trading setups in the stock

me just finish this up here because john want to know what am i looking at in the qqq this is the investor qqq trust series it's the ndx 100 trading vehicle etf and what i'm looking at here is that there is a very strong chance that number one that there is a we haven't even got a cell signal yet i have to wait for a lot more to happen to get a cell signal in the daily chart the nine-period moving average has turned out but it's still very strong over the 14 it's green hasn't been picking to turn pick i i think you have to go down another three points at least in the qqq we saw that at on the 28th of december when it would hit 412 92 it made an arch formation took out the left side low and it actually did that double to the downside in other words the higher of that arch formation to the left side low was equal to the almost equal to the down move that took it to the low of i think it was right to jenny the third or something like that jenny the fifth the low of 395 and you can see what happened for just one day it went pink the nine-period moving average went under the 14 and then it flipped up and it turned up and it went all the way until right now it's still green so this one because the mac D is much lower and already negative this stochastic is on the way down but it's at 66% not as low as it was before it's that nine-period moving average my indicator of last resort that is still holding well so this is what i'm looking at i'll give you the numbers i don't want to project anything i just wanted to tell you what would happen if such and such occurs if there is a close at the night the 50-period moving average is at 415 so let's not go there that's another 10 points down we're already down five but let's just say if there is a close and i prefer to call it this week i'm going to talk rather time and price other than just projections out i'm saying if there is a move at this particular point into the 423 area that nine-period moving average almost certainly will turn pink that'll be a negative that'll say i've got a sell signal in place it could be almost immediately upgraded to sell mode but it's a sell signal at least that's number one i haven't even got a down arrow which i usually have it on f when it's when it starts to fail it's not there yet that's the daily chart but the weekly chart i want to emphasize is at peak c if there's no new high above 439 14 this week that suggests even if we have a large consolidation in time meaning three to four weeks even if we go down towards the 400 area even the 390s all the techniques are suggesting that there should still be a higher high to come and now i can project time and say we're in February i would put it into the at the latest April or March where we start to move to the upside strongly again into the 440s that's the way i'm looking at it just based on the visuals of what i'm looking at in terms of the daily chart the month the weekly chart the monthly chart is only in leg b so that's really positive okay so to sum it up john if the if the nine-period moving average sharply closes underneath the 14 i'd have to say for two out of three consecutive sessions i don't want this one minute one bar down and then the rest turns green then i'm saying to you now we can look at time and we can look at price now let's look at the upside what if we're wrong and sorry gary's waiting i'll be with you in a moment gary because i want to get you because you want to look at smci if there is a rebound let's just say in video everyone's thinking now in video this i've been talking about it saying is this going to be some kind of a market top if invidia turns down it's already turned down it's not been moving like the others the last six sessions it's been pulling back it's made the dreaded h it's underneath the left side low it's down 38 to 688 had an all-time high of 746.11 a lot of round numbers so this is saying to me and i actually have this as leg f in the weekly chart it's a little unusual but i can give it an alternate count i'm not going to for now i'm just saying i think invidia is going to tell us a lot so let's just do this because the question was on the qqq i have no choice but to include the smh's the smh's are pulling back down almost six and 195 i have to put them together look that nine-period moving average is still way above the 14 in the daily chart way above the 14 in the weekly chart so a lot has to happen i still see residual strength those isolated rogue waves that can just suddenly spike to the upside we might see that in invidia to just really fool everyone but by friday now let me go back to the qqq now i want to talk time and price if the qqq instead of being in the middle of this candle or friday's candle above 433 this is 425 right now if it's above 433 it stalls any downside move for the moment that's going into friday friday's closed because i want this on a weekly basis as well but if it's underneath if the qqqs are actually under 420 at that any close under 420 thursday or friday says uh oh we've started the consolidation and it could be quite a bit deeper and we might be involved in speed to the downside that's the only thing i wanted to say well let's go to garo in newport beach garo how are you i'm very good sir how about you i'm very good tell me what you're doing don't tell me your short sm ci i don't want to hear that garo what are you doing yeah today i shorted that 800 dollars and i'm holding it and i need your blessing should i get out or should i stay in it i have only 100 shares i want to see what is your major support on it please so garo i've been talking about this one for quite some time now before i've got and this is i'm going to include today's round number 790 open 00 open with an 802.00 high i mean that to me is a blatant somebody is getting out of there and they just getting out as quick as they can i don't think that was by and it's trading right now at 723 down 80 i i'm going to recommend this number one is that i i kind of know your style and i also know that sometimes you prefer not to take a little bit off you you decide if you want to take a little bit off you just want to get out but i'm going to make a suggestion here because you asked me my opinion right as we speaking at 718 because of the speed of your profit i'm going to say take a little bit off and if you since you watch it most of the day have the rest that you have put into two positions one is a trading stop you're in at 800 it's at 721 right now i give it about because this is exactly a 1020 in the morning is 1025 this is where you'd expect some kind of a balance to occur i see if there's an arch formation i would give i would put a stop on at least your core position even if it's the remaining and it's small you're in 100 shares i would still um have a stop of maybe 755 because that's facing if it gets from here for bounces to 750 that's a pretty strong bounce it means that the sellers are going to be turned into victims because people still keep looking at this as a buy hold on a second because there's something else i want you to talk about and that was how would i use a trading how would i use a trading stop i'll talk about that as soon as i return that was the under 14 that's really warm heart helping it sbs down 32 we'll be back with

mr major i want to cut you and leave it i i i just covered you that 700 and 20 dollars so i made 80 dollars that was eight thousand dollars i got out of it i couldn't handle it more than that so okay so okay so what i wanted to say is that it's speed that we're looking at and the only way that the lungs can be trapped in the semiconductors and that's what i i had a big tussle with over the weekend with myself and i was i was showing someone yesterday different different aspects of what's what's going on with the round numbers and how the semiconductors are really vulnerable right now to anything and it's the speed and that's the other thing the reason why in a sense i want you to actually stay in the position but i know that once you decide that you rather than mess around with a little bit yet a little bit you either in or you're out most of the time there's nothing wrong with taking a prop of what i was going to say to you is you take something immediately you have a trading stop on part of the rest and then you have your core position you just lower the buy stop and you say okay now market tell me what it is and one of the reasons why i wanted to do that is because in this particular move um look at the speed with which it was on friday and i remember people had asked me and i said you've got to take something off that your money management is so important don't have your ego in it to say well don't start rationalizing and saying it's done this and it's done that this is unbelievable in three days it goes from the seven hundreds to a thousand this is a not yeah this is not a small stock this is a pretty it's a heavy stock so you've now given it back in hours because it was part of the day on friday that was turning down and this morning we were already been trading an hour and it's gone from 1077 to 702 so how do how do people what happens you see this is the thing about my round numbers i look at this and i always said it was up oh my can you imagine where was it what was the other one arm i think it was a round number at the exact all-time yep there it is 164 dollars at a round number all-time high what are those people that pay that bought it at 164 dollars doing right now they're looking at it and it's trading at 117 arm holdings arm they are just trapped look at the person who paid 135 round number on friday and then 117 was that the low uh yeah i mean and so this is the speed is the issue so what will happen and the question came in here is this the time to buy the s o x s well i'll go through that in a moment but what i am going to say to you i have to congratulate you first of all it takes it takes a good knowledge of your own technical system and the way you use it to be able to have the courage in a stock like this to go short at 800 dollars it hit 100 802 round number high you don't know it could have popped up to 816 in a split second right but you did the right thing you use your technique and you're out i would because you've been you've timed this so well i would say keep this on your list over the next week as one that you might be able to use as a short to the downside because it's got your technique i don't even think only right now has it got the little red dot right so so you thank you sir if you if you so congratulations girl if you have yes if you have the time if you can go over that coin c o i n i shorted that 300 shares at 175 dollars if you have the time i have still i have it but i do appreciate it your time and knowledge thank you so much we love you okay i'll get to coin in a little while but thank you for calling congratulations terrific move okay folks we'll get to coin right now but i needed to show you the bitcoin first so bitcoin finally got that leg d i was waiting and waiting for it and the leg d right now is in the this is a bitcoin futures continuous contract there's your d what did we look for in the chapter wave methodology you look for a buy signal that gets upgraded to a buy mode which says you should get to at least doesn't say you can get to uh an e f or g just says at least a d then other things can happen you can go even higher well the reason why i was getting nervous over the weekend about the general market is that bitcoin needed that leg d the the day the weekly chart i've got it as a leg f and the leg c in the monthly chart so looking out this is still in a buy big buy mode in terms of the monthly chart but on the shorter term my thinking was that it could pull back and now i want to see the juggling of bitcoin i'll get to coin in a moment bitcoin in terms of hood robin hood and look hood is trading where did it go to where did i type that hood hood hood tried to get oh there i typed it on the chart by mistake let me type it right here there's a rectangle h o o d hood is trading leg e maybe a p e today um why did i mention that because for subscribers i know i've been talking about it and saying that because of current market conditions because of the switch from gold to bitcoin um and because the the robin hood market players are always looking for what's moving that's that's the function i think for a majority of the players what's moving i'm in and that's the way they're looking at it on a very short term basis robin hood is saying a little bit toppy here nothing yet technically called in the sense that the 90s over the 40 and the prices over the nine magnies goods the castings flattened 86 percent on balance for him somewhat overboard weekly chart i can even make a case that this is not east actually brand new aben i don't need to it's had a very good spike it should be pulling back does it fill the gap it's at 1370 right now does it go into the 1230s i think it does over the next couple of weeks maybe even two weeks um and now we can go to coin why because i think that this is going to be the week that tells us that money might come out of bitcoin and this is the only way i really see gold moving higher if that money on a trading basis flows into it's at the 200 period moving average right now the gc up 13 at 2037 if in the next eight now what happened in trading days do we have left February we are the 20th so we've got one two three four five six and there's a 29th seven so in the next seven sessions if there's even a touch of the 2075 level i would say that that's going to help the mac d and stochastic even on balance and the real estate it'll help all these technical indicators improve to push away from the 200 period moving average and we could have somewhat of a trade in gold in the shorter term and that would mean that the dollar i'm coming back to coin the dollar which is making an alternate account f slash c a good sort of store it doesn't have to break down i still think that the look the weekly chart just turned it's trying to turn positive as we speak so the money is still coming into the dollar so we're here watching this very closely i'll be back that was down 33 s of these down 35 big difference i'll be right back that's a judgment i get these issues out the gold report as a precious metal gold is still king it continues to hold the

gold traded on the nyse american ntsx under the symbol vgz and yes uh thank you for the comments uh microsoft um i'm anticipating it comes down so we've got a long position i mentioned the other day i probably should be thinking of the short side i just don't want to mess my thinking up in this particular instance i can do it on the dow because we have such a long-term positions and very short-term positions so we can be short there but um looking at um microsoft yeah i i should have considered puts an absolutely but i've just been avoiding options for a little while even though there've been some fabulous option positions that could have been taken so so let's just go back to coin so coins made this little double top just above 190 and back in uh december it went to just below 190 then it turned around a pd pull back um is this an e um or is this what exactly with the name me in the chivalry methodology now this is where there's i i haven't been able to resolve it in terms of codifying it other than to say all the years when you've taken out the trough of d and you've had a pick an a to b going to c going to d and then you've had a major turn down and then that turn down actually takes out the trough of d you have to i always say you have to consider that you've got a brand new position on the upside it's just that's the best way to look at it um and you did that you took out when the coin base this is coin-based global ink so coi and trading it down 10 at 169.47 when it made the lower 114.51 on the seventh of fab it took out that left side there's this technique should this is the way it should look if i was to codify it in the chivalry methodology that's a and that is b i could make it an alternate count e slash b in a in a cup formation with a double top but i i really can't do that that just defies the actual methodology so that gives me a quite quite a story here so let me just see i've got a little ping um oh we've got mark and fort collins so let me go we'll come back to one before i wrap it up i'll give a little assessment what i'm looking at here but let's go to mark and fort collins mark how are you good how are you doing i'm well i haven't heard from you in a little while but i hope things are good yep still uh still subscriber hey thank you i know i don't know if you want to talk about this much because i know it's on your on your list but um i jumped out of one of our positions um envx on friday based on your your which is sent out and it's having a getting taken a pretty decent hit today pre earnings report after the close wondering if it's worth uh worth a shot to jump back in at a certain point or if you just say stay away so this is an ovex corporation silicone anode the theme iron battery development products just 3d cell architecture it's still you can see in the monthly chart this is still in that working phase it hasn't developed a real character for upside momentum it is more sideways all the actions in the lower range it made it a cup with a second cup so it's a soft w formation with a 33 is the low back in 2023 it running nicely to the 200 period moving average reverse went to 893 a higher high sorry yes a higher low than the previous low that was a positive so we we are long a position and on friday i i thought i read i i kept i went over and over and over in different venues and most of them said that the earnings report would be on the 19th well 19th was a holiday after genocidal weird and they finally i saw late yesterday it said a couple said the 20th so then i said oh it must be the 20th so what i'd done as soon as i realized that on friday i sent down a note saying to subscribers look earnings are coming out on monday i thought it was monday it's it's running a little bit i want you to rally a little bit more to take something off but it's still ready take a little bit off and then let's see what happens well it we took a little bit off and then it rallied it to the high of the day on friday and then i thought that's interesting and then last night and even this morning it was running quite nicely um at 12 into the 1240s even at 1255 i think now it's draining at 1172 down 52 cents so let me just do this so we have a stop in place because we've taken a little bit off we've got a little bit of leeway here we've in terms of the stop i like the action now i was a little disappointed that it rallied into that earnings report i actually have found over the last week the stocks that were weak into the earnings report came out and had a fabulous move to the upside afterwards the ones that rallied into the earnings report didn't necessarily do that so i'm looking at this and i'm saying okay earnings are coming in i think what this afternoon yeah after the close i think i think that's the last i read was after the close go ahead sorry i'm sorry go ahead so um i you know this is what i would do i'm just going to tell you that if it starts to rally even if it gaps up that 200 period moving average of 1232 is so strong i think you will have a chance if let's just let's imagine the best case scenario comes i just don't think that this is still in the development stage it's just there's so much to be done in the battery architecture but if they are showing even a modicum of improving in the percentage that it holds what it retains the energy just whatever it is if there's even a modicum of improvement a lot of automobile companies a lot of people in the battery environment that's what they want to see so to me that's in a way it's speculation so you're out of it i'm just going to suggest if you are out of it i don't i wouldn't want you to be jumping in and jumping out and then all of a sudden the news is lousy and instead of going to 1120 it's suddenly the next thing you're looking at 1070 because if it goes to 1070 i still am quite positive on this looking out just from the action that i can see but money management says don't you did something that was fine made a little bit i don't think it's worth going into it again because that's the mental attitude is wrong because you're now chasing it because you think you might have missed it have patience you'll be able to get it i got i bought it at like uh 11 what was it 1142 okay five ish and then i jumped out at like 1215 on Friday which is a little early i probably could have taken gotten a few more right you could have got another 20 or 30 cents 70 cents was not not a big deal for a week mark mark i think that you did you for you you did the right thing for the next move okay you know i don't think in this market environment right now you need patience i just don't think that any jumping in or even you know the question about the short i'm going to i won't have time i'll try to do it in the in the brief moment that we have before we go to the end of the show but i i'm just saying to you let's just say look you made a little money your money doesn't care where you made it right there's not a little note there that says hey mark oh what are you doing you made the money right come pat pat pat on the back look at the next trade so keep it in my it's on my list it's been for a long time we did once upon a time have it now we've got it again i will handle the trade that's all i'm not going to panic about it um it's okay holding quite nicely we'll be back so folks i'll be back thank you mark congratulations on your trade anyway i'll be back in a moment folks it does up 11 and the s&p is coming back a little bit up down 27 there's a lot to talk about in

Hello and welcome back. I hope you've had good lunches, some time to think and sort of process all the sort of thoughts, emotions, etc. that we've been feeling all morning. It was a brilliant morning, and it's going to be an equally brilliant afternoon. So I know we're still waiting for a few people, but I think we'll start now because we have a speaker, Cary Knee-Dockarty, who's going to be giving a talk called Fog and Milk in Glass, etc. Cary Knee-Dockarty is a mother and writer from the Northwest of Ireland, now living in Clare. She writes about nature, literature and place for the Guardian, the Irish Times, the BBC and other outlets. Her first book, Thin Places, was published by Canon Gate in 2021 and has been described as holding the reader in place between two contrasting genres, Nature Writing and Troubles Memoir. Her second book, Cacophony of Bone, is coming out in May 2023 with Canon Gate as well, and I'm really intrigued to hear your talk. Thanks very much for having me. It is so beautiful to be here with you this weekend. I am honoured and meeting with you has been a more important step in my own journey with motherhood than I can really explain. I am going to explore a little the fog and the milk and the glass of this wild, bruising, beautiful land. I will speak of fertility struggle, pregnancy, suicidal ideation, peyandy, grief, love and worry. You're welcome and loved here, no matter your story, but should you wish to leave for any reason, whatever, those things remain the same. You're welcome and you're loved and your experience matters so, so much. If I make this room, this dialogue unsafe, I am not only sorry, but I will do my utmost to unlearn any inbuilt prejudices I have internalised and do better. We all need so much doing better. How do we write of these foggy, ever-shifting, isolating times? These times that, despite it all, can still fill us with joy, with the hope that all will be well, how could it not be? We are living through innumerable crises affecting women disproportionately. To mother through such times is an act of something I am not sure anyone quite has the words for, but I am aching, I am desperate to hear them. What is a mother? It is a verb, surely. It is the doing, so much doing. Doing that research is only recently beginning to explain, can change the insides and outsides of a person forever. A kind of doing, a kind of caring, a kind of nurturing, a kind of protecting, a kind of holding that we are finally beginning to understand can be done by any of us, in many different circumstances, in a plethora of shapes, sizes and colours. But if mother is also a nine, it looks quite different to what I have been raised to hold it as. If mother is a nine, it is a seed, one I grow more confident we all hold within us with every day that passes by. If mother is a nine, it is a garden, one that every single one of us may tend to. Is it preposterous to suggest that open understanding dialogue around this world could change this world? Our society has a very particular relationship with its mothers and its babies. We are asked there still to live in darkened corners in myriad ways as mothers. And for those who do not have children either through choice or not, they too are still held away from view. Another darkened corner, always with the darkened corners. Why have we still not learned how to hold each other close? How to make room at the potting table for everyone? To listen to all the voices that make up this wild, varied, aching mother garden. How might we move forward from here? How might we learn to honour this ancient, many-layered, ever-ebbing and flowing thing within our society? I read recently that mother is one of the oldest words in existence, older even than the word mourner, mourner, and it affected me so deeply. A word so old, so integral to the fact of our human being, yet we still can't seem to allow the room to grow the way it is asking us to, the way we need. We are living through a very particular season right now, no matter what our individual story. We each are experiencing a kind of metamorphosis as a species that I am unsure we have any of us ever really known before. Writers, artists, activists, carers. So many voices are coming together in harmony to speak of the difficulties they are experiencing, how fraught their everyday reality has become. I have, like so many of us, a very delicate and heavy relationship with the word mother. I have been on both sides of that invisible border society puts up so readily for women, the one that keeps us apart. I spent a decade and a half trying to make peace with not being a mother, not through choice, to find myself in a global pandemic, suddenly and unsettlingly pregnant. I was so full of gratitude, but I was too so confused, so scared, so anxious, so alone. The years have passed in a haze of matter essence and all that that has held. I am finally coming through the fog of severe PND and have started to understand that this loneliness is something that we are all feeling to an increasing and terrifying level. Many of the women I speak with, mothers of a wide range, those who do not have children either through choice or not, those who have lost, something I am hearing over and over and echoey keen is how alone we all feel, how strong the desire for community, the need for connection, the ache for a safe space in which we all might meet. When I fell pregnant, all I wanted to do was come here to St Ives. It is a place I have been drawn to since the very beginning of this journey through the unknown landscape of which we are all thinking and talking this weekend. Long drawn to the work of Barbara Hepworth, to the light she and others were drawn to, to the blue, blue sea and all its soothing, listening, holding ways. I would come here alone to try to remember who I was, the who I was that I felt society could not make peace with. I found peace here, deep rooted and friends found it odd that I would speak of the comfort Hepworth's works of mothering delivered to me. Being in her garden, surrounded by her work, her sleeping space, her views, etc. Let me in on a part of her I felt whether correctly or not existed long before and would exist long after the act of her becoming a mother. I felt back then, and I still do now, that she was a mother, yes of course she was, but I was that mother too. I felt she opened up space inside me too, like her breath filled, light filled structures, I felt safe there. I felt welcome there, I felt useful and creative, and I felt like the mother I now understand I always was. I always will be, no matter what may have changed in my personal circumstance, art does that you see, doesn't it? It reminds us, it returns us, it challenges and unravels us. It allows us to see in ways that the world often tries to stop. In bringing me into her inner space, Hepworth cleared the space for me to properly and honestly see my own. I couldn't come here to St Ives, in fact I could not go anywhere past two kilometres of a small isolated cottage for most of the period of growing another person inside a body I'd been repeatedly told could not do such a thing. I was overwhelmed, the trauma of childhood poking out at every turn I took, and so I turned from afar to Hepworth again, and the thing that kept coming to me over and over was her place in the world outside. The way she inhabits the landscape, she is the landscape, and I turned in turn to the small stretch of land outside my isolated home. I asked myself over and over, what does it mean to tend a garden? To tend a garden is to remove, to take away so much more than we could ever imagine to make room for all that still will come. Growing is about order, it strikes me, about the intentional clearing of space by cutting things back. To tend a garden is to free ourselves from the things we long have known should have no place in our lives and in our days and in our gardens. I wish I'd known long before now that sowing is a way to grieve. As hands scatter seed into earth beneath feet, they are really sculpting loss. With careful repeated movements, the hands are moulding it into a thing like light on stone. Derek Jarman, Virginia Woolf, Alice Oswald, William Morris, Jamaica Kincaid, Barbara Hepworth. Everyone I am drawing, everyone I am drawn to is a gardener, although I think I only realised it in the first year of the pandemic. Back then I was beginning slowly to make peace with my then-childlessness. Picture this moment in the bright light of spring as I was learning for the first time in my life to sow seeds into the earth. My closest friend sends me words that feel like the only words I might ever need again for the rest of my days. Written on an envelope that holds her own words inside. Lovingly jotted down in between the giving of love, the wiping of tears, the boiling of blood oranges, the movement of small, tired limbs that make up her day. Love needs no planting, it is sown by seed. These envelope words are by Louise Erdreich from a book called The Blue Jays Dance. I Google it, having heard of it before, but not ever having encountered it to find it is a book about mothering. Of course it is. I promise myself that I will read it, no matter how hard it may be, that I will let go of the idea that there is constantly some gathering to which I have not been invited. I know so deep inside me that I can't separate it from my guts that this is not the way motherhood works. I know I belong there too, and to some extent we all do. Every single one of us belongs in that wild garden. As night begins to fall the daytime colours of the place begin to loosen around the edges and the colours of the night begin to spread out their long limbs. As the earth and the sky of this strange shifting place begin to name their unfamiliar hues, I give in to sleep and I find myself in a bright, walled garden full of colour and what might at first be mistaken for silence. It is late summer. Birds with quiet regularity are moving about the space here to there and back again. Everywhere nests, everywhere creatures, everywhere light. Trees sway softly in a breeze, only just there. I realise as I try to navigate the dreams boundaries that this garden is, to put it simply, my everything. This garden is the nests that came and stayed, the light that came and stayed. This garden is the garden right outside my door. This garden is the making of me. I just don't really know how to word it. The language around motherhood, babies, the whole foggy, limitless, unknown doesn't feel like it quite delivers. There is something not right, something lacking, something amiss. This is a thing I am still learning how to navigate, if I'm honest. The fact that things are rarely black and white, despite me having spent most of a lifetime growing up around that narrative. I wrote, I tried to write for many years about it all, about the way that sometimes I felt like I had to justify the way I felt or I didn't feel about motherhood. Not motherhood in general, only my own decisions. The language around it all left me lost, seasick. It's centred so fully around lack, around loss, around the not having. Black and white, black and white, black and white. The reality is though, that that is far from true in any lived experience. Now, still, I feel a little at sea. I am joyful, ecstatic beyond words and feel I am expected to say so. I am over the silvery grey moon, but these are not the only feelings that work inside me. There's far too much going on in there to compartmentalize.  For this is a process that I am confident has not ended, has not ended by the six week checkup that didn't happen anyway. I don't know where to turn, in memory or in person, to find the way through. What is a mother? What do they look like? What does this word mean? It is surely a verb, is it not? How will I know the high and when, the where and why? Who will show me the what of it all? I don't know if it's something to do with the algorithm or if my phone has been listening to my conversations, but soon Instagram begins targeting me with posts about motherhood and traumatic memories. I am widening out my net. Maternal memory now has a tight grip on my mind and on my phone, and I cannot reel it back in. I begin to think about time and how it plays out in pregnancy and motherhood and not. I am only two years in, but already I have begun to understand that all I thought I knew of time was wrong. Suddenly I find myself doing it all so differently. The measuring of, the marking of, the holding of time. No, not all days are created equally. Not all weeks, not all months, all years. No, the hours do not add up the same way in all the days that each of us is given. No, the way it ticks and talks, ebbs and flows, flies and drags and all of that is simply not a given. It is simply not a regimented constant thing to be held up to the light taken as exemplary. I am not living in the everyday you see, none of us are. I am not living in the flow that I have long been filled into believing is real, normal. Will I experience time and memory, the elusive dance between the two differently at every stage from now on? Will we all? Will either of the two go back to feeling how they did before the world changed shape entirely? I read everything I can about the science behind all this, forgotten names, sense of nights stretching out, days losing any sense of individuality and so on and so on, but it still blows my mind and I am not equipped. I read that a mother's brain in the 40 days following delivery is nothing short of incredible, that the logical, rational thinking part of her brain, the prefrontal cortex goes offline, diverting her mental energy, et cetera, et cetera, the part of the brain responsible for emotions, empathy, nurturing. This is called synaptic pruning. These new brain processes through which the mother learns to love and care for her newborn baby, in effect these 40 days after birth are viewed as being the most important and impactful on a mother and baby's brains for both of their lifetimes. No pressure then, of course. What does all of this do to the way a mother finds herself in the world? Where are our rituals, our guiding lights, our way markers through this landscape? What does it mean to hope in such times as these? Morning traditions, the sea, boat building, the healing power of the ash tree, a woman in their full power from maidenhood to crownhood, with motherhood only one part of this circle, where has our ceremony gone? Where have all our rituals gone? Those that once held the power to steer us through the transitions and non-transitions, we are now left to navigate alone. What might it mean to focus on the sowing of seeds of hope in the face of such individual, isolated collective despair? How might we clear space in the middle of such harrowing loss to start anew from our centre? Despair keeps us harboured. I feel as if we are being called to the open sea, to action that will carry us far from what we deem as safe, and perhaps it is time to listen to that call. I still feel unsafe in motherhood, and the only way I can see that changing is through togetherness. On St Bridget's Day, I reached out to my followers on Instagram, a huge proportion of whom or mothers, asking for those who felt comfortable in sharing their experiences of mothering or not to contact me. I had begun to feel cold towards the kind of book I never imagined I might ever try to write, a book of, for and by mothers. I have already arranged dozens of interviews. My main wish is to share the whole story of mothering, many of whose chapters have long been hidden from view. Interwoven throughout the text will be individual stories, from those who have chosen not to mother, to those who have lost, those whose personal experience we might not often hear, those who have something to share about mothering that makes for vital listening for every single one of us. A small inexhaustible list of what has come up in these conversations. Fog, confusion, lack of choice, depression, isolation, macho essence, loss, loss of self, loss of others, loss of place, loss of direction, milk. How do we nourish our mothers? On being a mammal, unpaid labour, capitalism, body as map, sustenance, support, glass, what do we see when we look in the mirror? What do others see? Identity, dreams, relationships between species, human and non, shards, glimmers, reflections, shine, etc. Where do we go from here? Where has the village gone? How do we come back together? How do we get back to that place? All of us gather light. I have begun to view mothering as a revolutionary, mindful path. A path that I observe people of such varied individual stories walking with grace, humility, wisdom, grief and love. I have begun to understand mothering as a song that calls for so many voices, oh so many voices, oh these exquisite, achingly tender voices. I have begun to view mothering as an act of repair. Let me take you to another garden, another time, another part of this journey. Two women, an artist and a writer, a generation and an invisible country border apart. An Airbnb booking that started a healing journey unlike any I've ever known. I'd returned to work the day he turned two weeks. As an artist, the only source of income in our home, I had no choice.  It was me and the outside world was bright and new and fiercely unknown. His father took him in a pale gray carrier strapped to his body as loosely as he could while still holding him securely in place. I thought of all the other mammals I had ever known, those I'd seen in real life and other lives. I thought of what it means to carry another creature of the responsibility that comes with attaching a small, wholly dependent body to your own and going about your day as though there were nothing untoward at all about this. For there isn't, of course, we are told this is entirely the natural order of things as a mammal. When I left my young son and his dad heading up the lane towards a derelict house, I logged on to my Zoom call. The person he was providing technical support asked us if we were sitting where we would take the call from and we all answered yes. Then she asked me if I had any other windows open and I told her that no. Unfortunately given the size of our small home there was only the one window in this room. The four other people on the call erupted in fits of laughter. It took me too long to understand why and even when I did some of the other details had turned hazy. When I think back on the call itself all I remember is the worry that my milk might be leaving white circles on my navy dress. When my son came back I cried and I cried and I cried and I knew I was not safe in my own body and that I needed something very specific to drag me back. I knew we could not go to St Ives so I started to search for somewhere similar in any way comparable and I found it, I found her a grey stone house flanked by cardoon and borage alike and look all around the sea, the sea, the sea. And just above it the quiet unassuming sky and all its vastness. Look, here our pale not quite pistachio green windowsills and doors faded by wind and time and salt alike. Poppies, pinker than I had ever thought could exist in this life. A bright dandelion yellow bench with calendula that almost exactly matches and seed potatoes waiting to be sown. And here our sunsets so beautiful they would make you weep with it all with every last bit of it until you understand that there is so much more than peachy strips of light across a wild Atlantic sky to give a new mother ample reason to find herself for the umpteenth time that day, bawling her eyes out. Here is a stone sculpture looking out over the wild Atlantic Ocean a circle cut through, a space made for healing. Here is the garden of another artist, another woman another woman who has known deep loss the Irish artist Finola Graham. Here she is working, making and remaking and allowing me to rent her small space to supplement her income as an Irish female artist. And here is my first postpartum time away my first attempt to find my way back up from the place that I have been buried. And here is Fogg. How old is Fogg? Where was it born? And what about silence? Fogg is, as weather phenomenons go, a fairly new kid on the block. Claims have been made that the Fogg of our imagination was born at the same time as the books of Charles Dickens. Sure, there had been a thick, sooty change in the air for a decade or two beforehand, but critics reckon the thing we call Fogg only reached maturity in the 1840s. It was born the Fogg we know in London. It killed the people of that place by their thousands. I remember reading years ago that more people die by suicide on full moon nights than any other night of the month. It makes sense to me that this truth would apply to in times of unrelenting Fogg. But what about silence? Can the same be said of times when there simply is no space for the sound to get through? When the world feels drenched to its core in a thick, graying white silence, when we've forgotten how to make any of the noises that remind us who we are, her postnatal depression, their postnatal depression, your postnatal depression are not mine. I look and I listen and I try to marry them all up, but I can't. Your loss, my loss, your grief, my grief, all we can do is listen. I'm not ready yet to write down parts of this story, let alone make it into a short bullet point list, but I'll give myself one sentence, just.  I had hoped at this stage to try and explain the Fogg a little more, why it mattered so much, the role I felt it kept, the role I felt it played in keeping me here, but the truth is that Fogg, by its very nature, just doesn't allow that. This artist, this woman, this mother, this gardener, this swimmer, this gatherer of seaweed on a craggy coastline, this woman in her full mothering power, asks me to tell her about it all. She asks me to take my insights and make them visible, place them in this shared landscape and puncture them, let the light and our breath enter in, and suddenly the world changes in ways I will never fully understand. And so all I seem able to say is that I became a mother, but it wasn't all milk and honey. Somehow it was mostly all glass and Fogg, in a world so shaped by white male colonial violence and the breakdown of communities it has caused, so keen on dividing and separating and keeping us apart, to lean into the arms of the women around us feels the ultimate act of revolution, a means to change the world. We are more interwoven than we are led to believe, finally and delicately, the seeds of many varied individual beautiful flowers in one garden. Irene Solat in her exquisite book, when I sing, mountains, dance, writes, the flesh of one is the flesh of us all, the memories of one are the memories of us all, the darkness like an embrace, protective, welcoming, the earth like a blanket, like a mother, black, damp. We are all mothers here. We have always been, we will always be, no matter what our story looks like on the outside. We are welcome here in this garden, in this muck and in this beauty, in this loss and in this love. We are all mothers here. Thank you so much, Kerry. This is a fantastic talk. And I think one of the things that really struck me about your talk is also being a little bit different to all the things we've heard so far, is really thinking about the spectrum of motherhood and what it means to be, to not to be after being. It's not necessarily all the things that you're given to believe that it can be. And I was wondering if you might speak to us a little bit more about the book that you mentioned and what kind of, you know, how do you encompass so many voices? And is it also to the past? Is it historical? Is it ethnographic? Yeah, so that's a really good question. And initially I felt like maybe I needed to give this kind of, so the book is in process of being written and it's, like I mentioned, it's aiming to just generally make space for voices that we maybe don't often hear. And like for a long time when I was thinking about writing, I was thinking, oh gosh, I don't know enough. I need to go into all of this huge research and place the book in this like line of really incredibly important, ever-growing documentation. And then I realized that actually that's not the kind of book that I feel is not available at the moment. I feel like that potentially is a different book. And there's something about, like someone mentioned earlier, that the language around this really delicate topic is still being formed. Like we don't necessarily know inside us even what way we feel more comfortable with people talking to us. Like I certainly don't know fully what my own view is, like what triggers me changes from day to day. And that's as someone who's dealt with like childhood abuse, estrangement as well as a journey into mothering that didn't look necessarily like the people around me. And so I suppose that this book is, I don't feel that this book is going to have any kind of real historical context. And I feel like the important thing for me right now is like where we're at right now. And we kind of have a sense of like why we've ended up here. And that's written about quite freely. Like the consumer based capitalist society that created this sort of concept of what the family looked like and the move away from community based living. We kind of know it. If we don't know it, we sort of know where to go to find it. But I feel like the stories of what people have experienced are the thing that I certainly didn't feel like I was experiencing enough. And the last sort of really in the last 20 years. So, no. Yeah. And I think also thinking personally and reflecting what you've just said, I think the part of the spectrum is also not being mothered like as somebody who is estranged hasn't been mothered or also by choice, by choice of somebody else.  And so I think it was quite as curious when you were talking about different kinds of mothering. How do you sort of think of different kinds of mothering without trivializing the act of giving birth, act of being a kind of mother by nature? That's a really interesting, deep reflection. And I'm not sure and I'm still learning. So I'm still really open to where I myself will be led by the people that I'm encountering. And I think something that I'm finding and I'm pretty sure some of the other artists, some of the actual real life artists have talked about this is just like sometimes you don't know where you can't see at that time where the work is situated and people can see it really clearly. And I suppose it's something that like there was a post that went up by a female writer on Mother's Day. And I don't follow the writer, but a friend of mine who suffered loss of her son just a few weeks after birth sent it to me and said like what's your response to this post? The post was about basically it was I don't want to you can check yourself but I don't want to paraphrase but it was something along the lines of this is Mother's Day and we've been silenced for a long time as mothers and I see all these trigger warning posts but actually we should just be able to say right we're mothers and this is it's hard and we just get this one day of the year so why shouldn't we get to have it? And the responses the comment section were just like I find it really harrowing in a way that I hadn't really been expecting a social media post to be able to hold that level of power over me. And it's just that sort of typical like as a mother like you know as a father of daughters you know this sort of dialogue around because it really it really got me thinking about the fact that like it's scarcity ideology and so I come from Ireland as you can probably hear and there is still within the Irish landscape a huge like Irish social landscape a huge element of like the toxicity that can surround like victim mentality it's part of intergenerational trauma that's really being looked into hugely in Ireland and about Ireland and yeah the post sort of I'm blithering but the post sort of really left me thinking about how that potentially this topic of motherhood and otherhood holds the most ability to separate us out but actually at this because of that at the same time holds the most power to actually bring us together and I'd never I'd never viewed it that way before until that post just that sense of like here was hundreds of comments of people the most of the comments were mothers being like thank you for saying this like I've been struggling with this and whatever and then you had the occasional little comment being like I've actually found this post like the most triggering of all like you know that the honest little voice that the rare seed in that whole kind of dialogue and I suppose I'm not sure if I've made this clear enough but what I think what I'm trying to say is that we just because we don't have the words or language for something doesn't mean that we just put our head on the ground like there's something really important about for me about like being open to being just so wrong just just sitting with that wrongness and just like not entering into like well you know like which is so normal not normal common or instinctual and like I felt like for a while like scared about writing about elements of mothering and not mothering and and like what if I get it wrong and actually that doesn't really serve anybody you know because this event is just like amazing for like conversations that just take us out of that like call us out to sea because I think you know a ship in a harbor that's saying of like yeah but ships aren't really meant to be in harbours like supposed to be out doing the work on the open sea and I feel like this feels like being at work on the open sea. This actually takes me really well into my next question that was going to be about Instagram and algorithms because I'm really curious as you've talked already here about this post so there's posts and kind of comments so there's kind of that that element to it. There's a little bit of what Sarah said in an introduction to Hetty's talk yesterday about you know sort of making that kind of political space or almost a space of activism but there's also the algorithm deciding for you what you should see whether it should be sort of fertility tests ads for fertility tests or whether it should be ads for you know happy family. It's very sort of we've been talking in the last panel about triggers and sort of language and how you sort of speak about these things and also how does how do algorithms speak to you I think is a really and can artificial intelligence you know in that sense be sensitive should it should we even be asking these questions yeah I'm really curious. I think we should totally be asking these questions because I feel like that's this really well I know like for me personally that was a really important part of me grappling with where I was at with on this journey and I shared with you at the very beginning Mel about how that I feel convinced that it was like what I was the more time I was spending on Instagram when I wasn't able to have baby the more I had like I realized that I built my own little kind of my own little glass house of all these like perfect families with like perfect mothers they were all creative they were all in and around my age they were all into the same things as me and I just watched one by one as they just had babies and as their feed just became you know beautifully created like kind of Steiner type like Waldorf he wouldn't toys and like sorry I like I miss out I was I'm a train Steiner teacher there's not like I'm criticizing but like a very particular unlike they all went on holidays to particular places and it was that very very particular and visual life like that's what I was giving myself day in day out and I noticed when I went to places where like I didn't say if I didn't have signal in parts of Ireland if I went away with work it deaf not being on Instagram for a prolonged time period definitely did affect how I interacted with my like grief and my sense of identity and so I know it's different now Instagram works in a different way anyway and you often don't see people that you follow but I do think like I don't have a clue about algorithms but what I do know is that there is definitely a conversation that needs to happen around the visual world and it's enter I don't want to say interference it's like enter whatever interconnection with our like lived actual lived reality and I loved what Melanie said about how like being the experience of making the video and then like the thought of watching it afterwards is just that sense of yeah like a sense of othering from your own self I suppose as well today. Yeah exactly and I was reflecting back to Melanie's talk as well in terms of thinking about standing I think you said something about standing with company and grieving in company etc and like what that company means when it's in a virtual platform and it's curated it's a curated visual platform versus actually being at the sea with people and they're both communities and they can both be really helpful in different ways but there is a stark difference I think.


We finally are back reunited in Tandy Adventure Bus. Everybody's here, plus one. Uh, what are we doing today? Abandoned place somewhere. Okay. Beach-ish area. Okay. We're growing up. Okay. Are we gonna stop at a juice place first? No. Yeah. Cool. Alright. So we're gonna have some fun today. It looks like I didn't even know until we kinda discussed it. Let's hit the road. The juice place is closed. Alright. Right now we're at a thing called the Salter, or the Great Salter. It is a building. We'll get some more shots of it, and Cody's gonna fly the drone. It was meant to be an important building, and it just flopped. The Salt Lake really isn't all that appealing to go and visit. Sometimes the air doesn't smell good, you can't really go in it. It's just kind of funky. The Great Salt Lake, though that this is the third Salter, just looked up some fun facts. Previous ones have been flooded, burned down. Basically right now it's just kind of like a special event center. Apparently they do like raves and concerts, Gene's Addiction apparently came here. But it's really, it's far away from everything. Depending on the winds and the time of year, it can have a funky smell to it like I mentioned before. And it's just all around a kind of bad investment for whoever made it. But the old structures, the original one used to be super awesome and super beautiful. This one, not so much. Oh, gross.  You missed it. So we're like 50, we're like 50 yards from the water's edge, and the funk factor just increased substantially. Also, we just noticed a ton of flies everywhere. Ugh, that looks so gross, dude. I'm trying not to get my, oh, trying not to get my feet wet. I just noticed that my boots were broken. The water's edge is completely covered in flies. It smells like one of my least favorite smells on earth, a drying, wet, stinky dog. Look, check this out. Oh, that's so gross. First thoughts on this place? I don't know what I was expecting. I didn't expect this whole thing to be surrounded by flies, though. That's for one.  Watch this. Oh my god, let's do that in slow-mo. I would suggest staying far away from this place. It's pretty gross. We left the soft flats looking for adventures, so we're going to go raise some goat cards. What laps are we doing? We're going to do 40 laps because we're going to take it to the next level. What? 40 laps? We could have done two. You're going to have to get demolished.  Last. Last. Right.  All right. This is going to be a lot of fun. I haven't raised goat cards in a while. I'm tired, so I'm not going to go all out. Second place was Natasha. Jax was in first with a 21.6. You guys want Mexican torpedas or you want a... Ya'll want a real. You want a torpeda? Well, I know you mentioned torpedas, so I'll get torpedas. All right. Here's lunch. And just for reference, I'm going to put my iPhone 6 on there. It's like the size of two iPhones and like super thick. It looks good. Does it taste good? Ya. Did you try it yet? Not yet, but I'm expecting it to taste good. Here, we'll do a little quick taste test because I know everybody wants to know what it tastes like. It's delicious. Lap three times, huh? I don't know how it happened. I feel like there's some kind of gnaw action going on. It's like, why is Jax so good at goat cards? I was wondering as I'm trying to beat him. I was hating hard. Yeah, it's all right. I'll teach you guys my ways. Anyways, me and Josh got to hit the airport, so we got to say goodbye to the buff Cody. Breakfast tomorrow, man. Dude. It's been a fun three weeks. That's for sure. It's been the best three weeks. Even before that, we had another week in Tahoe. That's right. I mean, it's been a great meeting you. Thank you so much. Oh, dude, thank you. Thank you both for hooking me up with all the subs and thank you guys. I should be thanking you because you came over from their channel, so thank you. Yeah, it was them, not us. Thank you guys. And then send me the booster board. I'll send you some cash. All right. It's sick. I'm going to join the Boosty Club. He's going to send me the version one, so that's going to be great.  It's a double vlog. Double vlog. Dude. Thanks for hanging. Come back again. Let's repeat, but on a bigger scale. Yeah, it's going to be bigger, dude. Honestly, I'm going to maybe buy a bus now. The whole RV community life is crazy. We learned a whole bunch on this trip. We've done a whole bunch of stuff in the last 46 days. I feel like I haven't been home in my own house in like, happy year. Yeah. So it's been an amazing trip. Yeah, it does feel like that. Yeah, it's so much fun. Dude, you're welcome anytime. Thanks, man. Come back soon. Yeah, thanks. I'll catch you somewhere. See ya. I'll catch you on the usual flight. All right. Bye, the merch. Bye, the merch. It's time. I know your time is valuable and I appreciate you watching the videos. I'm over at the schoolies. Dean's place right now. I'm going to park in the driveway for the evening. Do my laundry, freshen up, take a shower, all that fun stuff. So I will see you guys on the road tomorrow.


Small devices have been increasing their power exponentially, and there's no better evidence than the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro X, which packs an H-Series Alder Lake CPU and the RTX 3050 in a very portable 14-inch chassis. It's made entirely of aluminum and uses rounded corners and edges, which is similar to what Apple has done with their recent MacBook redesign. All in all, the laptop looks great, especially the dark teal finish. For a smaller laptop, durability is exceptional, with almost no flex from both the lid and base, despite it weighing only 1.45 kilograms and having a profile of 15.9 millimeters. The lid also opens with one hand, revealing the keyboard and touchpad. However, the base also has two speaker grills, which will gladly take, as they both fill the space and serve a purpose. The keyboard has well-sized keys, with long key travel and clicky feedback. They're also backlit, which is great for night owls. The touchpad has a more premium glass surface, making it very smooth. However, while the clicking mechanism is good, it does get harder to press the higher you click. On the sides, we see the aisle. Things are pretty simply laid out, with the left side getting an HDMI 2.0 port and two Thunderbolt 4 ports. On the opposite end, you can see the audio jack and one full-sized USB port. The power button is mounted on the side as well, along with the eShutter switch. What you'll look at once you buy the Yoga Slim 7i Pro X is a 14-inch IPS screen with a 1610 aspect ratio, which is ripe for productivity. It's got a 120 Hertz refresh rate, so the user experience will appear smoother. It gets quite bright, maxing out at 415 nits, while also covering 94% of the sRGB color gamut. Color accuracy is important as well, and the device brings decent colors out of the box. However, with our design and gaming profile, it gets even better, with a deltie value of just 0.8. We'll have links to all of our display profiles. Only 2 per 100 people watching this video are subscribers. If you decide to just start following us, we'll be able to reinvest more in our laboratory, thus making even more helpful videos for you. Thank you, you're awesome! How Lenovo managed to fit a 70Wh battery inside is beyond us. The unit does well, lasting for 8 hours and 53 minutes of web browsing, or 6 hours and 58 minutes of video playback. These results are with a configuration featuring the Core i7-12700H and the RTX 3050, which is maxed out at 55W. The Core i7 isn't necessarily what we would have picked for this laptop, however, the CPU still scores nicely inside both Cinebench and Photoshop, albeit there is still a big difference between the same CPU inside the Yoga Slim 7i Pro X and a gaming laptop. As for the RTX 3050, it does well for a 55W GPU, outperforming the Asus VivoBook Pro 14X and scoring similarly to the MSI Prestige 15. Keeping the powerful Core i7 cool is a setup with two heat pipes, two fans, and several heat spreaders, which cover a large part of the motherboard. The Core i7 doesn't reach its full potential, as the 100W Type-C charger doesn't supply enough power to power the CPU and the RTX 3050 and have some slack, just in case. As such, the CPU runs at low clock speeds, temperatures, and wattage. On the other hand, the RTX 3050 reaches 55W without a problem, maintaining a stable clock speed of above 1500MHz. Last but not least, comfort could be better, but that's just how it goes with smaller fully aluminum laptops. The base's hot spot reaches 45°C, while the fans can definitely be heard, even without the extreme performance preset. The Yoga Slim 7i Pro X comes with soldered memory. However, you can get up to 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM, which runs at 6GHz. For storage, you only have a single M.2 slot for Gen4 SSDs, so whenever you're upgrading, you'll have a spare M.2 drive lying around. As always, we'll have our disassembly video in the description, so you know what to do when the time for upgrades or cleanup comes. While the CPU selection should definitely be revised, the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro X is a laptop without a lot of flaws, if any. Yes, it doesn't take full advantage of its processor, but the thing is still performing insanely well. If you need to know everything there is to know about the laptop, we have a more complex review on our website, which you can check out in the video description.


Okay, hello out there quick quick quick video on something. I want to do a surprise for my wife and daughter That's on her way any day now. It's just simply a fun little crayon drip Project and then we'll cover it in art resin so it'll look awesome and shiny and beautiful. It's it's gonna be quick Thanks. Okay, so stage one dump and organize some crayons. Let's do it Is what we're dealing with so somehow spread it out nicely Once I had them all laid out, I just glued them to the back of the board using art resin and then I was ready to use the heat gun


Jennifer? Did you see that story about that girl that got involuntary manslaughter for encouraging her friend to commit suicide? Yeah. What do you think about that? Well, I mean, so first, I haven't read the transcripts. I don't know what you actually said. You'd have to read the transcripts, because I don't trust the press to actually convey to us what actually was said. So I would read the transcript. I don't think you can convince somebody.  So while she might be a horrible person to not try to talk her boyfriend out of killing himself, I don't think she is legally liable for that. So let's assume that she really did say, oh, go do it. Or it also depends how she said it.  But I don't see how you convict somebody of manslaughter for that. Suicide shouldn't be a crime. So it's not like she killed him. It's not like she encouraged him to do what he was doing already.  I have to think about it. I'm not sure. But it strikes me as far-fetched the verdict while I think one has to morally condemn her for doing what she did. I'm not sure if there's legal remedy there. So you're saying he had the right to do that anyway, unlike murdering someone else, which obviously you don't have the right to do. You never have a right.  It's still mainly your fault. But I would also be tried as a conspirator, as a co-conspirator to do it. But that is murder is illegal. It's immoral. It's wrong. It's in any judicial system. Suicide is not exactly the same thing. It's not like he was a happy kid living a happy life and she just went after him and destroyed his life and they convinced him to commit suicide as the ultimate act of he was going to commit suicide. She egged him along a little bit. I don't know that that's criminal. You have to ask a lawyer, but it doesn't strike me as that should be a criminal offense. OK, thank you. I'll hear from my lawyer friends tomorrow. You're on. We hear about these occasional cults where the cult leader convinces everyone to commit suicide. I mean, that's different. That's almost a form of physical force. It's manipulating people who are just mentally weak. Yes, I think that's clear manipulation. I mean, again, if the kid had doubts about committing suicide and she just pushed him towards it. And oh, my Apple watch is talking to me. And you know, but he was suicidal anyway. And now she just egged him on. I think the cult leader is very different. I think he's culpable. It's not clear exactly what he's culpable of, right? Now, if he hands them the Kool-Aid, then clearly he's killing them.  But exactly what you would accuse him of, I don't know. There is something I'm sure in the law about taking advantage of weak-minded people or manipulating or brainwashing people. But it's very dangerous and it's very tricky to define what exactly those things are. And I think you'd have to be careful on how you define them.
