I've got my one dish here aiming out the window looking way over there somewhere and of sight and walkie-talkies so just the shane can we set these up across the thing yeah okay good you'll be here i'll be over there yeah okay now i'm gonna take this dish and go like half a kilometer away all right we're gonna be looking out that window right there all right have the dish way over here at my friend's island and there's can you see the dome you can see it through that pretty easily right all right i didn't get this on video because you know all hands were on deck but we just had the dish here oh come on there we just had the dish here ben was holding it on top of these buckets and we were looking you totally can't see but way over there is the house oh maybe you can't see it and the shane is in there and i spoke into the dish kind of loudly singing mary had a little lamb and on the walkie-talkie she correctly identified the song and said for a second it came in super clear so that means as long as we were lined up we could actually talk this far apart so uh obviously i'm not gonna put the thing you know on top of some buckets and leave it there so i think i need to make like a platform here maybe concrete thing filled with dirt and then a concrete roof and then on the back of this like make a concrete just make this really heavy and stable so i can put that on top of there aim it easily and then put little shims under it wherever to get it aiming just right but yeah it totally works and also you know right now we had the shane in the window of the house so we'll have to move the position of that dish maybe maybe put it on the roof or something i don't know i'll figure it out later but just it works so that's super exciting and that's that's over 500 meters from here to there all right gibbs what did you hear you said you heard really clear for like a few seconds what do you remember what you heard then anything anything you heard me saying anything oh really yeah not just anything but you heard anything very good very good what do you want the camera oh i don't think you can have it dude so dude you're gonna be able to talk to your friends all the way on the other island from here by magic almost magic of geometry in the mouth okay okay


Israeli border police shot a Palestinian who police said had attempted a stabbing attack at an East Jerusalem checkpoint near the Jewish settlement of Har Homa on September 18. The forces opened fire at the suspect and naturalized him after he pulled out a knife and approached border police officers at a checkpoint, the police statement said. The suspect, who police identified as a 47-year-old resident of the Bethlehem area in the occupied West Bank, was taken for medical treatment and no Israeli officers were wounded in the incident, police added. Israeli Palestinian violence has surged for more than a year, with stepped up Israeli military raids and increased Jewish settler violence in the West Bank amid a spate of Palestinian attacks on Israelis.


One of the marketed tent pole features of Elite Dangerous Odyssey prior to its launch was what Frontier referred to as the Sphere of Combat. In this video we're going to discuss what the Sphere of Combat is and what needs to happen to the current game to make it a meaningful feature. To make sure you don't miss any of our videos hit like and subscribe, remember to click the bell icon and select all notifications and to help directly support this channel you can also join our Patreon via the link in the video description. The Sphere of Combat is an encapsulating phrase that defines the concept of having ships, SRVs and on foot commanders all in the same place all at the same time. When Odyssey launched on the PC in May of this year conceptually at least the Sphere of Combat was possible. You could have a ship, an SRV and an on foot commander in the same area on a planet surface at the same time and the three can interact with each other on a basic level but as of right now there is no real reason to get the elements together. As things stand surface conflict of any significant size in Elite Dangerous Odyssey largely revolves around two areas active or inactive settlements that are not in a state of war and active settlements that are subject to a war state and have therefore become the feature of an active surface conflict zone. As things stand in both examples a lone on foot combatant can easily infiltrate the settlement grounds and initiate, participate and bring satisfactory resolution to any conflict without fear of outside interference from either NPC driven SRVs or NPC piloted ships. Whilst settlements do feature some anti personnel turrets it's been my experience that they rarely engage in any meaningful way and can, for the most part, be largely ignored. An SRV can be useful at a settlement raid but generally it's true worth is as a storage facility for stolen materials or as a changing room to swap your active on foot loadout in. An SRV can be used as a tool for clearing a base of guards, the roof turret fairly rips through the surface foot soldiers with ease but it's noisy and invariably attracts dropships full of more NPC foot soldiers. Likewise a surface installations exterior can be cleared of NPC guards with a ship loaded with dumb fire missiles very effectively, again this is extremely noisy and serves to attract the same dropships full of backup and the better defended settlements are very good at harassing a loitering ship if not swatting it out of the sky with the turrets generally being too tough to knock out quickly enough for little reward. Your results may of course vary and I'd be interested to hear your tactics in the comments below but it's been my experience that a settlement is just simpler and quicker to quietly take apart on foot. When it comes to conflict zones the on foot commander is king, an SRV can be brought into a surface CZ but it's honestly somewhat of a glass cannon in those scenarios. If it remains on the outside of the zone it can pick off stragglers but it's often times quicker to take on the combatants on foot, again your results may of course vary. Get an SRV in amongst the buildings in a CZ and it's almost impossible to maneuver it in a meaningful way amongst all the ground clutter, again on foot is king. Couple that with Frontier's recent addition of rocket launcher wielding troops who are particularly adept at reducing SRVs to their constituent components and it just compounds the issue, the SRV just isn't good at on foot combat, feet are. When it comes to ships in a surface conflict zone it's kind of the same story again this time with a wrinkle.  The wrinkle to the ship scenario is that Frontier recently installed large temporary surface to air weapon emplacements at surface conflict zones. These emplacements can be cut open by a player wearing a maverick suit and shut down albeit temporarily. They also installed NPC ships fighting overhead presumably to give the turrets something to do because very few commanders are bringing their ship to a gunfight. The turrets whilst impressive are a solution to a problem no one has and the NPC ships fighting overhead are interested only in each other meaning they are nothing more than scenery they literally have no interest or input into the conflict raging below them. Well ironically mines and dumbfire missiles can be used to great effect to complete some horizons era missions and here at the burpit we've attacked elite dangerous horizons level settlements with those on more than a few occasions just for the giggles but as far as odyssey is concerned as things stand that's pretty much the state of the sphere of combat. You can combine the available trinity of weapon platforms in one spot but why would you? If SRVs and ships are next to useless in the available surface combat arenas then why has Frontier chosen to spend valuable development time implementing countermeasures to weapons that almost no one is using? The logical answer to that question is that they are presumably planning on those weapon systems being used in the future as part of the sphere of combat. If that is the case then the current toolset and scenarios available to the player are woefully unsuitable. We already know that a more combat orientated multi-crew capable SRV is due to arrive into the game in December as part of patch 9. Whilst we welcome the arrival of this new shiny toy its arrival as a tool is only part of the equation. In order for that SRV to have meaning beyond being a nice addition to the garage it needs to be the solution to a problem otherwise Frontier will have invented the hammer but not the nails. Given all the things I've just talked about with the current SRV I'm struggling to understand where a new more combat capable SRV is going to fit literally and figuratively into the current available combat scenarios. New weapons and better armor notwithstanding I still can't see for example why you would take an SRV into a settlement you were intending on raiding or into a conflict zone. Of course the caveat to those musings is that I haven't seen this new SRV and therefore don't know what it's capable of but unless it's significantly smaller and more nimble than the current bewepened beach buggy which seems unlikely given what little we know of its feature set then I still can't see it being of use in those cluttered and cramped environments. So is the new SRV the herald of some more missions or tool specific content? Then that would seem a logical extension and we have seen some hints of this from Frontier in a previous live stream which is linked on screen now but as of this video at least there are no solid affirmations in that direction. As far as the ship third of the combat trinity is concerned one could argue that new ships would be required to engage in a meaningful way with all that is presumably about to be happening on the ground. I would counter that argument however and suggest instead that we in fact already have the ships we need. I'd further suggest that there are at least two specific ships that we have already that would seem tailor made for air to surface operations. What they lack currently however are the tools to engage in a meaningful way with the turrets, spongy meat sacks and toy cars running around like ants below them. I long argued that the Federal gunships weapon placement, tanky nature and manoeuvrability profile make it an ideal air to surface platform. What it lacks like all ships in the game is the ability to acquire, track and then employ guided munitions onto ground targets. That could in theory be solved by the addition of a ground tracking radar module fitted to the ship if Frontier chose to magic one up, slaved to guided missiles or perhaps a nice chin mounted cannon or multi cannon and you'd have a superb spacefaring Apache. For an even sorcerer coupling how about giving an on foot commander the ability to laser designate a target for the ship allowing them to dumb fire from outside of a settlement's ability to counter attack leaving the missile to acquire its own target once it sees the laser. Even the name gunship would seem to imply certainly in contemporary parlance that this is in fact what the ship was born to do. Likewise the oddly named Federal dropship as I've mentioned on this very channel many times before it doesn't drop anything. In the current game it's a capable fighting ship but if you google dropship you'll eventually find it listed as a common military sci-fi trope defined as quote a craft used to carry troops, vehicles and or supplies from an orbiting ship to the surface of a planet or natural satellite and back sometimes while under fire unquote. Its name by definition therefore means it's supposed to be a troop carrier and a deployment platform for combat capable vessels. Prior to Odyssey there hasn't really been a scenario where the dropship could serve that role in a meaningful way but with the addition of a troop capable cargo hold or a rapid deployment SRV bay where the vehicle is essentially dropped by the pilot firing it like a weapon perhaps dare we dream. I guess the conclusion I'm rambling towards is that with the current drip of new toys entering the game the SRV, the turrets at conflict zones, the ships fighting overhead, the ground troops armed with rocket launchers it could be argued that FDF are building towards something. The much vaulted sphere of combat doesn't realistically exist in the game yet but these new countermeasures coupled with the new SRV could mean that not only is its emergence into the game more likely but it's also possible that it could be coming with more varied content as well. What do you think Frontier's plan with all this is? Will we see new tools to make ground attack more meaningful and if so what would you like to see added? Let us know in the comments below. That's it for now, thanks very much for watching, if you enjoyed this video consider subscribing to the channel and maybe take a look at one of our other videos linked on screen right now.


which is pretty cool. I sold the cyber end I actually prefer the lukio card over the cyber end. So Though cyber end is definitely worth more because it's a ps8 10, you know, it's ultimate rare everything like that Thank you tactical stamp. I appreciate that Where is she hiding also where the other good ultras and stuff hiding We haven't pulled one in a long time. Remember how I was saying I thought we were doing good Maybe that's because we had already pulled all of them Yeah, lugia collector didn't go for the lugia Did not follow through with their name Okay We are almost Okay, Promethean and we got one, but it's the ultra. Okay It's in a dark place for a long time watching your videos and all you do for the community It's helped me in so many ways. Yami. I'm glad to hear that. I hope you are continuing to do better Slightly use coral. Yeah, the cyber end was was pretty expensive It's pretty expensive. I sold it to a guy who has bought some pretty nice stuff for me before so It was a good buyer and I was I was happy to sell it to him Favorite card of all time it's up. It's my favorite pokemon card. So it's up there for me Iron thunder Okay That's all good tactical simp. I appreciate it Horse black thumb dragon level eight first digital to rare if you're interested sounds expensive, but I can take a look They say there was no short prints in core sets. Yeah, no short prints in core sets I'm not seeing short prints They've just what they're doing is just adding more secrets and more ultras So it's harder and harder to pull everything. So it's kind of like cheating. It's like short printing everything, you know Uh, we have samsara de lotus But it's not short print compared to the other cards at least from what I've seen We'll have ratios though. We'll see if I'm correct about that I'm just because low does feel pretty low, but there's also some other secrets that we didn't pull many of You log off 15 minutes get a membership car not no car not Okay Super super super we are down to maybe a box left guys Maybe a box left been a good stream But can we end it with something big? Come on. Can I donate by instagram? What do you mean? Uh, well if you want to just like support some way, there's like patreon you can send stuff I have a paypal if you just want to donate like that way so like that And then there's a super chat right now. So there's all kinds of stuff you can do if you really want to This is the the new bling right here. It's the new bling check that out That's the the new uh The new drip There were not that many lows though.  We're gonna save this for the end guys. There's a qcr right there Do you have bitcoin? Uh, no, I do not have big technically I have a couple like not actual not a couple bitcoin because that'd be like a hundred thousand dollar uh like A couple hundred in bitcoin from a few years ago But that's it like I don't buy it anymore or use it Okay Let's see what we can do. Can we get that? for me the in Pristora flames here we go Come on We need it. We got a qcr right there on the table waiting for us We need something big We need it on the last pack magic Here we go. We're gonna give it last pack magic by opening the other pack so it becomes last pack magic Venmo. Yes, you can Venmo me if you want. Yeah, it's just at ruckson 34 Watching the chat more than the polls. Yeah, that's what I've been doing. I'm like looking over at the chat I'm like, oh wait. This is what we got it. Look over. That's me when I stream openings when we do a lot Okay, chill out. Don't kill the qcr It's protected by the other cards. Don't worry guys. It's protected. I hope what if it's just bent we like pull is just bent Uh, they're actually not harder This time at least we pulled we pulled nine and normally it is three per case. So that's lining up to be normal Okay, we have a hero I'm not gonna maybe 10 packs left. Can we get another poplar, please another low That would be really really good really game All four boxes at a qcr dude. Your luck is insane. That's one and four to get that One and four to get a qcr and then like times that Okay, we have goblin biker How many lows not sure everything will be posted on twitter all of my four cases ratio Oh, yes another one a low right at the end qcr eight should be the same one four boxes for uh monsters revenge All right, another low looking good. So if we get one more poplar, we've hit all the three big ones again Okay Locations to buy this pack check out sassy auto on ebay use my code Phantom rucks five to get five percent off you can find it in the link in the description We have three packs left guys Okay, okay Here we go Raid raptor not bad Two packs level three if you include this one. Oh no cards are falling Two packs and then that one. Let's get a poplar real quick Okay, super not that one and finally this one make sure you guys like the stream if you guys enjoyed it Make sure to turn on the notification bell If you guys want to see more there will be more of this on the new uh You know new sets and everything like that will be streaming. We're also gonna be doing the dcr box break soon We only have three packs to sell left Pretty cool. Okay We've got the bling. It's gonna bring us some luck. Here we go. There's a qcr right here We created our own last pack magic. It was like with 12 packs left. We opened all the other packs So now it's last pack magic. We don't know what it is Promethean queen Bustower of flames. Here we go qcr Mr. Potato, that's what we need goblin's crazy Goblin biker we got ashen for attorney. We got mature chronicles. Send me some luck on the comments dark element Here we go. Will it be blue?  I'm depressed now Oh my goodness the car not you guys called it too that we're gonna do that Oh, man, those were terrible qcr pulls Okay That's all we're gonna do for today. I don't really have that many more boxes and Screw the promethean. We don't need it Okay, maybe we'll pull it later. Maybe we'll pull it later.  I gotta eat dinner. I'm hungry two streams in a row two nights in a row. I'm pooped So, uh, yeah, thank you guys for coming out. It's been fun. It's been maybe we'll get luckier next time Maybe we'll get luckier. Okay


there's the magic. Number four, I think for number four I'm gonna do kind of a little rough sketch of a circuit as well here so as I read this I said I got a 12 volt cell and I guess it has an internal resistance because they're talking about the terminal voltage and they've told me that the terminal voltage here is 8.8 volts and this battery is 12 volts so if the voltage after we come off the chairlift battery after we go through the internal resistance will bump is 8.8. Madison what must the voltage be that we lose going through there if the chairlift is 12 but we're really only 8.8 high 2.2 yes 3.2 3.2 that's what I said you weren't listening very closely clearly you need to work on your listening skills yeah 3.2 volts clearly one of the things I'm gonna find in this video is just how many mistakes I make in the day and try and cover up we're nearly double digits right now wow I'd say it was nerves but really the kids know it's just normal oh and how much current is going through this resistor well it says that 70 amps of current is going through this whole thing so there is 70 amps of current going through this resistor that okay do you know two then you know four or three in this case because they want the internal resistance so the resistance is going to be this divided by that by the way 70 amps big or small 70 amps large or small yeah large enough to kill you okay five amps large enough to kill you you know what this is great as a short circuit and this battery would probably drain very very fast and get uncomfortably warm and break that okay Madison any others okay what I'm gonna try and do today is get through about half of a lesson of the next unit and the next unit I have to admit is quite a fun one but I'm going to take a risk especially in this class I'm going to hand out a I was gonna say a possible distraction but I saw my guests starting to smile instead of possible distraction definite distraction and trust that you'll be able to deal with it the next unit we're looking at is on magnetism so I've handed out magnets we're gonna see if you can deal with the distraction I have confidence that most of you well some of you if you can okay and today is mostly going to be terminology and what we're really gonna be focusing on today is direction is vectors so lesson one do me a favor and arrange the magnets that I gave you in a nice straight line so that it sort of looks like this bar magnet put them all together okay what do we know about magnets well magnets are dipolar that's the fancy way for saying they have two poles what are the two poles called north and south all magnets have a north pole and the south pole so here's my bar magnet north and south and if you put your magnets in a straight line although you don't know which end is north and which end is south they do behave very much like a single bar magnet and just like in electricity Cody in electricity like charges repelled and unlike charges attracted in magnets like poles repel and opposite poles attract a north repels a north a north attracts a south however unlike electric charges you cannot isolate a magnetic pole we can isolate a charge that we called a negative charge and electron we called one positive charge proton but if you took a magnet and you broke it in half and I'll do a jagged line like this to symbolize that we've taken that bar magnet that was right above that had a north pole right there and the south pole right there you don't get a north only magnet and the south only magnet in fact as soon as you snap the magnet in half this ends up being the south pole of this magnet and this ends up being the north pole of that magnet it's sort of like if you ever a kid and played with earthworms when you pulled the earthworms in half you got two worms here you get two magnets as far as I know we don't know how to isolate a magnetic pole yeah now I did my little rant about action at a distance with Alex and with Malcolm I said oh by the way take your magnet and split it roughly in half the chain and then take one of those halves and rotate it 180 degrees and you should have like poles repelling I think yes now I can't tell you whether it's north north or south south we'll talk about how you could figure that out in a bit but definitely like for it pulls repell unlike poles attract and that's part of what fascinates us as well it's funny as soon as I've said that there's kind of you that have two little finger things that are kind of twirling around each other because you're repelling each other it's fine Victoria what is it that causes them to repel how can they touch each other without touching each other well just like charges had electric field lines Carly magnets send out magnetic field lines they send out an invisible octopus tentacle like series of magnetic field lines hey review time what was the direction for electric field how did we figure out the direction we asked ourselves a question Cody which way would a positive want to move it could so it was just defined that way we said that's already fine here is how we define the direction of a magnetic field the direction of a magnetic field is always always from north to south you'll need to memorize that although Malcolm that's a fairly easy one I think to memorize in that kind of bits from north to south or if you're actually trying to figure out what the specific poles of your magnets are we have a tool called a compass in terms of a compass a compass always points in the direction of the magnetic field a compass always points in the direction of the magnetic field that means a compass always points south say what Mr. Duke a compass always points magnetics out well no mr. Duke I have a compass and it points north it points geographical north many of you don't realize that the poles are named wrong at the bottom of your page right here draw a little circle this is the earth the earth is magnetic I'm gonna draw an imaginary bar magnet inside the earth and I'll tilt it about 23 degrees just like the earth axial tilt as it turns out Madison inside the earth that's the south magnetic pole that's the north magnetic pole despite the fact that that's the geographical north pole up it's the south magnetic pole how do I know because the compass always points in the direction of the magnetic field a compass points from now north to south and my compass points that way that way that way that's something a lot of students don't realize they made me wrong that's what the inside of the earth looks like this your maps look like silly you vote for me as world president someday maybe I'll change it boy that would not make people happy suddenly we were the true south strong and free probably wouldn't go over too well although maybe we'd all feel warmer cuz we lived in the south that would mean birds would fly north for the winter it would mean that me as being left-handed would be a northpaw okay enough little Doppler effect there but he got it what's the symbol for magnetic field well we can't use the letter m because what does m stand for in physics pretty much always mass so maybe we could use a field we could use letter oh where letter f stand for and those are pretty important concepts so thankfully fortunately not all physics is done in English I think the magnetic field letter comes from a word from Latin the letter that we use the symbol that we use for magnetic field is a capital letter B in fact often Cody you'll hear me just call it a B field because B is easier to say than magnetic so when you see the letter B in an equation they're talking about the magnetic field the same way as E stood for electric field and we measure magnetic field it has its own special units magnetic field is measured in Teslas named after a scientist whose last name was Tesla arguably Nicholas Tesla Nikolai Tesla can't remember with Nikolai Nicholas arguably Tesla understood electricity better than anyone before or since certainly better than anyone before and you can make an argument he lived around the turn of the century you can make an argument that even today people don't understand electricity as well as he just lived and breathed it oh symbol capital T but you will also find magnetic fields or magnets measured in Gauss which is an American Imperial unit just like gallons and feet and inches but the SI standard science unit for magnetic field is Tesla's just to give you some idea Gary of numbers the Earth's magnetic field which is what pulls a compass is about 10 to the negative 7 Tesla's a very large magnetic field to the point where if you were exposed to it for a long time it would not be healthy only 50 Tesla's fact the magnetic field is about a thousand Tesla's probably the iron hemoglobin in your blood which carries oxygen to your organs would not be able to go in the same directions that it wanted to consistently you'd probably be having some fairly serious health issues yes we all heard that so there are two main types of magnets the kind that you have are permanent magnets they're made from what are called ferromagnetic materials in fact these ones are called rare earth magnets they're made from the cool millit I can't remember the particular element and they're pretty good they have their uses they're fun to play with and they're great for refrigerators your refrigerator magnets are permanent magnets far far far more useful are electromagnets electromagnets are magnets that are caused by a current and Amrit the reason that's so useful is it gives us a magnet that we can turn on and turn off big deal huge deal huge deal most of your electronic devices contain an electromagnet or several we use them all the time to move things around via electricity so we've talked about magnetic field what do the magnetic field lines look like similar to electric field lines they have arrows and Leslie the arrow points or shows the direction of the magnetic field the closer the lines the stronger the magnetic field the farther apart the lines are the weaker the magnetic field as you can see magnetic field lines run from what to what north to south because that's the direction of the magnetic field this is also the direction that a compass would point if you placed it in the diagram in other words Carly if you had a compass that was pointing this way don't write this down and you placed it right there it would suddenly swivel and point in the same direction as a magnetic field a compass right there with point this way a compass right here with point this way and so it's a very a compass very easy tool for you to figure out which way the magnetic field lines Hannah I should mention one more thing magnetic field lines have no beginning and no ending they actually continue going through this material and back out the other side I was used to say they're circular but they're not shaped like a circle they're non-ending oval-ish kind of shapey things whatever the earth is also a magnet which is how a compass works at the North Pole what does the magnet inside the earth look like so that's the North Pole and that's the South Pole because a compass points from north to south and I wrote here yep it's the opposite of what most people think example one draw in the magnetic field lines below so when you pull the part your little magnet chain and spun at a hundred degrees and we're repelling them I think that's what we have here the two North Poles will repel each other in fact if you had a magnetic field line it would start going this way but it would get repelled by this North Pole and it would very quickly start to bend and what's it gonna get attracted to South Pole and probably like this and probably like this and probably like this oh over on this other magnet probably like this and like this and like this and like this Cody how many lines does the left-hand magnet have how many lines does the right-hand magnet have that does that mean the magnetic field of the right-hand one is eight Teslas and the magnetic field left to one is for Tesla's know but it does mean the magnetic field of the right-hand one is twice as strong as two to one ratio. Excuse me. So, more terminology. We are going to have to draw three-dimensional diagrams for us to be successful in this unit.  Well, how would I show something going up the page? Turn the page, by the way, if you haven't already. How would I show something going up the page? Victoria, Why would I show something going down the page? While I would point an arrow going. What if I wanted to show something going to the right? I would draw an arrow pointing to the. What if I wanted to show something going to the left? I would draw an arrow pointing to the What if I wanted to show that it was going straight into the page? Here is the notation we've come up with. If you want to show that something is going into the page, we draw a circle and then we put an X like like that and Madison that is supposed to represent the tail feathers of an arrow going away from you into the page and that can represent either a magnetic field or later on the current or something going into the page. To show that something is coming out of the page towards me we draw a circle with a little dot that's the tip of an arrow coming out of the page towards you you'll need to know those conventions we're gonna use them all the time right let's look at magnetic fields caused by electricity or electromagnets the first one if you have a wire you put a current through it and pier and Faraday and a bunch of other scientists noticed that if you take a wire and you put a compass by it the compass gets deflected but would deflect the compass a magnetic field so here's my imaginary great big wire right here if you ran a current through this wire to your right to my left that way it would generate a magnetic field it would deflect a compass and what we want to ask ourselves is what direction and to figure out the direction we use what are called the right hand rules there's three of them and they involve your right hand so get your right hands out and put your pencils out of your right hand because often the pencils get in the way here is the first one I want to figure out what direction the magnetic field is around this wire which way did I say the current was flowing I point my thumb in the direction of the current right thumb my fingers curl in the direction of the magnetic field so in this instance here on the side of the wire closest to you guys which way is the magnetic field down which way is the magnetic field underneath the wire towards me away from you which way is the magnetic field on the side of the wire closest to me straight up and which way is the magnetic field above the wire towards you away from me that's the right hand rule the right hand rule says if you want to figure out the direction of the magnetic field created by a current point the thumb of your right hand in the direction of the current your fingers curl in the direction of the magnetic field let's try one together Leslie once you're done yawning I know I'm fighting it to it's muggy it's warm it's last block let's deal with it oh now this time I gave you the wire what does that X mean which is which way is the current flowing inside this wire what does this symbol here mean I'm gonna say more specific yeah that's the phrase we're gonna use so all of you right now so that all of our papers look the same lift your paper up so it's 90 degrees please I want it to be parallel to the big screen behind me so I knew I would face this diagram take your right thumb pointed into the page which way to your fingers curl that's the direction of the magnetic field around that wire it seems to me right here above the wire which way is the magnetic field up down left or right right here above the wire which way is the magnetic field up down left or right point your thumbs into the page right now and tell me which way is the magnetic field at the top of the page up down left or right is it not that way which way is the magnetic field right here up down left or right down Which way is the magnetic field right here? Which way is the magnetic field right here? In fact, probably if I wanted to show this, I would just draw a circle, a better circle than that, Mr. Doeck. I would just draw a circle, and I would put the arrows on it. It's a clockwise magnetic field. And then there would be another one here, a little weaker, a little weaker, a little weaker, and eventually close enough to zero that you can't detect it. Example three. In example three, I've given you a wire, but I don't know whether the current is flowing to the left or to the right. Which way is this magnetic field above the wire? Ah! Got you now. Sorry, they're used to it. You guys with me? You're back? You're here? Oh, that's on video. I thought for- am I gonna- you know, you need it. I gotta get you back. Leslie's got her adrenaline rush now. Let's try this again. No zoning out. You're my top kids. I expect more. Which way is this magnetic field? What does that symbol there mean? Cody. Cody's on a roll. Cody's on a roll. Come on. Take the challenge here. Cody, which way is the magnetic field underneath this wire? So let's- all of us lift our paper up 90 degrees. You guys hopefully recovered from a little yelling. Sorry. Whatever works, right? I'm going to then curl my fingers, Cody, so that they're coming out of the page above my thumb. And into the page below myself. Which way is my thumb pointing to the left or to the right? Right to the right is correct. We need to practice a few more of these.  Those diagrams there, and I cheated and used my tablet to just hand write, took me ages, so I have got several for us to try. All right. Take a look at this, please. We're going to try a few of these. And the first one I'd like you to turn to, if you would be so kind, is question number six, please. These are the type of multiple choice questions that are on the provincial. So I'll throw a few of these at you on your test. Number six, Amrit, that's the one that comes after number five. Find it? I don't think I've seen you- there we go. I knew we'd get you there. Number six. So in number six, it says, which of the following diagrams best illustrates the magnetic field lines around a wire carrying conventional current in the direction above? Okay. So it looks like the wire in all four diagrams is carrying current in which direction? Which way is the current flowing in all four of those diagrams? What does that their symbol mean? Out of the page towards us? So all of you right now, with your paper flat, put your thumbs down pointing straight up, your right thumbs. There's the current coming out of the page towards you. Well, which way is the magnetic field? Which way are your fingers curling? What's the correct answer here? A, B, C, or D? Justin, A. By the way, a couple of comments. Every year I see students that try and do the right hand rule while holding onto their pen and the number of times I've seen them think this is the, because it's got the pointy part and go the wrong direction, strongly advise you that secondly, and I learned this from my physics prof, who was a great physics prof. And I will assume he knew what he was talking about. Here's how you can get the right hand rule questions wrong. Do them embarrassed, all tucked in here and all like that. You'll get them wrong.  When you guys are writing the test or if you are writing the provincial, I will know you're not giving each other secret code hand signals and I'll make sure whoever's supervising the provincial exam knows you're not trying to cheat or anything like that.  Okay. That was number six. Can you all also try question number, I know there's one more here, 14. Try number 14 on your own right now using the right hand rule for a current carrying wire. You're probably going to have to sort of pencil down because, wait, trust me, easier with an open hand. By the way, those of you that are left hand, this is the only time in your whole life you have an advantage because you can write and right hand rule at the same time. As a lefty, as far as I know, that's the only advantage in life. And for that, I get a six year shorter lifespan. Lefties on average live six years less. Oh yeah, it's a harsh world for a southpaw. A, B, C, or D. What do you think? Sorry, I heard an answer. Oh, maybe I didn't. A, and it says A, convince me. Yeah, now you've already found the tricky, but the problem is going to be, they're going to give you a three dimensional diagram, which is kind of slanty. And so you're really going to have to use your imagination a little bit. Sorry, we're stuck with two dimensional paper, three dimensional diagrams. So I think A, current coming this way, my fingers pearl that way. Or if I face my diagram here, it looks like this A. Is there one more? I think, oh yes. Last one, 17. 17, number 17, try 17 on your own. So if you find number 17, it says, which diagram shows the magnetic field created near a conductor carrying current towards the right? So each wire is going to the right. Which of those magnetic field diagrams best matches? Kelvin, which one? See, let's see. So if I point my thumb this way over the top of the wire, I'm coming out towards me. Is that correct? And underneath, I'm going in. What's the symbol for going out towards me? What's the answer, Kelvin? D, yeah, yeah. D, these are tricky. But unfortunately, about half your test is going to be direction questions. And this is only the first of three right hand rules. OK, back to our notes.  Some teachers will say, OK, but the electrons use your left hand. Hannah, I find that confusing. I don't want to have to use more than one rule. Instead, the second option is whichever way the electron is moving, the positive is moving in the opposite direction. In other words, electrons going up is the same as current going which way down. Electrons traveling to the left is the same as current going which way to the right. Electrons going into the page is the same as current going which way out of the page. And then you can use your right hand rule. So I prefer the second method, solenoids. So a new term.  We call it a solenoid. Here's one. So here's a manufactured solenoid. It's a coil of wires. It's also wrapped in plastic to help it keep from rusting. Pass it around if you wish. That particular solenoid that you're passing around, it's a hollow solenoid. We'll talk later on about why you might want one not to be hollow. And as it turns out, if one wire generates a magnetic field, a coil of wires will also generate a pretty big magnetic field. What direction? Put the magnets and the pencils down and look up. Here is right hand rule number two. This is called the right hand solenoid rule. So we had the right hand rule for a current carrying wire. Here is the right hand solenoid rule. And to do this, you have to analyze the diagram just a little bit. Hannah, which way is the current going out of this battery? Is the current going up this way or down this way? Up. I draw a little arrow right there. And I follow that arrow through my diagram. I notice that my current goes underneath the solenoid. And when it comes over the top, it's heading to the left. It's heading to the left. It's heading to the left. It's heading to the left. It's heading to the left. Write those arrows on there.  And once you've analyzed it, here is the right hand solenoid rule. You imagine you're holding the solenoid in your right hand. Here's my imaginary solenoid. And you curl your fingers in the direction of the current in my diagram. When it comes over the top, which way is the current moving left or right? In my diagram, when it comes over the top, which way is the current moving left or right? So I can't hold it this way. I have to curl my fingers this way. If you do that, Hannah, your thumb points north. You know where the north pole of your diagram right there is? Top or bottom? Bottom. Bottom. That's north. That's south. OK. That's a typical solenoid. Now, the one that's being passed around is a hollow solenoid. As it turns out, you can dramatically increase the strength of the magnetic field by instead of making the solenoid hollow, putting an iron core in the middle and it'll increase it by a lot by an awful lot. We call this an electromagnet and it has thousands and thousands and thousands of uses. What are some of the uses? Well, first of all, let's practice the direction. So here is a write up of the right hand solenoid rule. If you imagine holding the solenoid in your hand, you curl your right fingers in the direction of the current. Your thumb points north. Example four. Now, it says what direction is the magnetic field below? And I left this diagram blank on purpose because I always think it's important to teach you how to draw your own solenoid because that helps you to analyze them. So here's what we're going to do. We're going to put a battery right here and then we're going to have the wire, the current to the solenoid going like this and ducking underneath behind the solenoid. And then I'd like you to put your pencil down. What I want to do, Greg, is I want to create a roughly three dimensional looking diagram and you know me. I have absolutely no artistic talent, but this is what my physics prof taught me. He said, if you want to create a reasonably three dimensional looking diagram so that you can figure out what's the top and what's the bottom. He drew this. He said, the wire is going to pop out here to make it look 3D. He used elongated S's like this. Does that look sort of 3D-ish? Kind of. Sort of from Mr. Do it gets about as good as it's going to get. There's my solenoid. If you just do straight lines, you can't tell which way the current is going to be going. Using long S's, either forward S's or backwards S's, it doesn't matter. I use forward S's. Hannah, that's about as good a diagram as you're ever going to get from me. You guys have had me long enough to know. Yeah. So here's my question now. Let's see if we can figure out which way the current is going from the battery. Which way is the current going, Eric, to the left or to the right? Did you say to the right? No, actually, you said this. So loudly with confidence because you are correct, sir. Give it to me. To the right. Yes. And then, Eric, as I follow it, it ducks underneath. I think it comes out here. I think right now it's heading downwards when it comes over the top. Is that right? It's heading downwards. It's heading downwards. It's heading downwards. I'll quickly add those arrows without hopefully making too many mistakes. That's going to tell me how I want to hold this solenoid. I want to hold this solenoid in my hand so that my fingers curl in the same direction as the current, which side is north, left or right? Put your pens down and try this one. I don't know. Let's see. Regulously. Which way is the current coming over the top downwards? So hold your hand like this. That make sense? Which way is your thumb pointing? Here's the north pole. Here's the south pole. In fact, we could even draw in magnetic field lines. Magnetic field lines always point from what to what? Remember? What do we say? North to south. So here's a good magnetic field line. And here's another one. Which way would a compass point right here? Which way would a compass point right there? Give you a hint. Same direction as the magnetic field. Which way would the compass point right there? More specific, how about to the left? Which way to compass point right here? Outside the solenoid, a compass with point to the left to the left. But Malcolm, we said magnetic field lines have no beginning and no ending. If I continue, which way would a compass point inside the solenoid, not to the left? Which way to the right? So if they ask you a compass question, make very sure you know where the compass is. Outside or inside? We use solenoids all over the place. A solenoid is a magnet that you can turn on or off using electricity. How many of you have powered door locks in your car or your parents car? OK, when you flip that switch, all that's happening is the solenoid is getting turned on and the magnet is pulling the lock down. Then when you push the switch in the other direction, all they're doing is reversing the current in the solenoid. And now instead of attracting, you know what it does?  All that happens now in the fire alarm, it's alternating current. What that means, Kelvin, is the magnetic field goes north and south, the north and south, the north and south. Then they're very, very fast. There's a piece of metal right next to the bell. The magnet attracts it, repels it, ding attracts it, repels it, ding attracts it, repels it, ding. There's your fire alarm. In fact, how many of you have a cell phone with a vibrator in it? That's a solenoid, I guarantee it, just going like that back and forth. Simple, simple. When the Xbox control or the PlayStation controller shakes, it's a solenoid in there. Actually, I think the PlayStation, it's spinning an electric motor, which involves a solenoid that's other electric device we'll be looking at at this unit. Loudspeakers, televisions, cell phones, powered door locks, the old, the old telephones that actually used to ring any kind of a bell that would ring. It's a solenoid, very easy to set up, very easy to set up. In fact, I think my friend lives in downtown Vancouver in a very old building. The building is about 70 years old and nerd that I am. I was in his building and here is the fire alarm in his building. Can you see the coil of wires right there? There it is. And it pulls this back and forth, reversing and alternating the current, causing the clapper to ring the bell. Beautiful. No big moving parts, nothing complicated, works just fine. And then, yes, I was a nerd enough to absolutely have to take a picture of that when I saw that. Oh, cool. And, yes, they need someone to clean up the cobwebs or something. Yeah, well, can you once again get out this right hand rule sheet? Let's practice a couple of solenoid questions. Number nine, number nine. So here's a picture of a solenoid, a little sketch says a DC power supply is connected. It wants the direction of the magnetic field inside the solenoid, and it wants which is going to be the North Pole. Before we do any of that, Leslie, we're going to need to label the current from this battery, Leslie, which way is the current going left or right? Now it ducks underneath Leslie. When it comes out over the top is the current heading upwards or downwards. You think the current's going this way? Which one convinced me? Let's see. Here's the current. It ducks behind and underneath. Follow this wire. I think you'd be doing this, yes. I'm going to change colors instead of black so it stands out of it. I think the current is doing that. So. Pretend to hold the solenoid in your hand, in your right hand. Curl your fingers in the same direction as the current. Can't be curling over the top towards you. It's like this, yes. Leslie, my angel, which way is your thumb pointing? Which is the North Pole X or Y? Which way is your thumb pointing? So which is the North Pole with authority? Yes, yes, no, yes, no, North, South. Now, that means that this magnetic field line, Carly, is going to go from North to South. But inside, so out here, it's going to point to the right. But inside the solenoid, which way is that magnetic field line going to point to the left? From what letter to what letter? From Y to X. No, no, yes, yes. And now I step back. What is the correct answer to this? A, B, C or D? Kelvin, C, right hand rule for solenoids. I think there's one more solenoid question on this I seem to recall. Or is there? Did I miss it? Maybe I did. That'd be terrible. There isn't one. Back to our notes. We're going to skip temporarily, well, permanently. Example five. Example six, try this one on your own. Which end is North A or B? Try it on your own, please. A or B, B is North, right? Curling over the top towards me. B is North. I can sense that you're kind of zoning on me. I'm going to pause here. I'll carry on with some of this on Thursday of next week. Because what's tomorrow? Tomorrow is your test. What's your homework? Your homework right now is to study for the test. It's about 10 minutes left in class. It's a chance for you to work on the review. I'm going to right click and hit.


California Day of Preparedness, this is a very important day when we try to show all of our young people about all the things you need to do to be prepared for disasters. Do you live near an area that can flood? Do you live near an area that can have a big fire? Do you live near an earthquake fault? Those are things that can happen to your home, you need to be prepared. What does the sign up here say? Be smart, be responsible, be prepared and what? And get ready. Tell your parents that you want to prepare a disaster kit and in that kit you want to put all the things you need to survive for three whole days. I want you to have a disaster preparedness plan, a family plan, you should talk to your family about all the things you're going to do in case you need to respond to a disaster. Today I'm honored to have two very important people here with me today. First lady Maria Shriver, also very good friend, Mayor Jerry Brown. This is the 30th anniversary of the California Conservation Corps. This is a group of young men and women that are protecting our state, that are getting prepared, serving the environment and serving the larger purpose of making our whole community better. And the whole goal of this campaign is that we all work together. When I became first lady, people said to me, California is not disaster ready. We don't have enough blood, enough people don't donate blood, enough people don't know what to do. So for the last two and a half years, we've had this campaign across the state to educate people about what they can do to help themselves and help their neighbors, which helps their community, which helps their state. I'm so thrilled to see so many kids and so many people who are volunteering to help.  California is on its way to becoming one of the best prepared states in the country. We have great search and rescue teams. We have great cert volunteers, great firefighters, police officers, but most of all, I think we have great


Hey there friends. Thanks for checking in today. We're exploring the question Did everybody forget about the 22 TCM? All the attention has been on the 5.7 by 28 millimeter because other Companies have been making firearms chambered in this round, but then there's the 22 TCM It's it's made by arms court from everything that I've seen no other ammo company is developing it But arms court makes a ton of it and it cost on the average about 20 rounds for a box of 50 now This is a jack-in-it-howl point both bottleneck down rounds both 40 grain bullets we if you look at them side-by-side You can see that the 5.7 by 28 millimeter right here is a little bit taller a little bit more or a little bit thinner case I should say But both extremely fast rounds now the 22 TCM travels at approximately 2100 feet per second and that is Pretty darn fast. I've done some range tests with it already and I've shown that it could take a regular patio stone or a cinder block and turn it into a Sand like just completely destroy it as we're a 22 long rifle just put chips out of it But what I have here is a Rock Island 1911. It's a TCM model and Rock Island is the main developer of the 22 TCM you do see some glocks With conversion barrels for 22 TCM, but here's what we're looking at This is a single stack many of their 1911 offerings now are double stack so I'm not even sure if this is developed now when I got this it was a Combination package that also offered a barrel for nine millimeter as well as a recoil spring They do share the same magazines although the 22 TCM is a little bit Thinner the case is a little bit thinner. It was explained to me that it's actually a Bottle neck case that mimics the 223, but nonetheless We're gonna shoot this thing. You don't mind. Do you? Didn't think so I had this well, let me shoot these out talk about my original intentions Let's start over on the left There we go It's a fast round. It's a fun round. It's a loud round And it has very low recoil. I'm gonna demonstrate that In a little bit The one thing that I've noticed is that these mags are not dropping free And I can't remember if it's always been that way. I got this in 2017 and Haven't shot a lot with it, but I certainly do enjoy the round I have never not enjoyed the round but my original intention was to do a comparison with the 22 TCM and The 5.7 by 28 millimeter. We had a problem with the chronograph I was hanging out with trees are blown where we had the chronograph all set up And it wasn't reading properly. So that video is on hold. I know other people have done videos of that nature Mine are not very scientific. I'll tell you that right now trying to get a little more scientific by using a chronograph as well as a couple other things but big muzzle flash Very loud very fast round and it takes a center block and turns it into sand But with my last review a lot of people liked it when I did this. I just turned it around Let me raise the camera a little bit and This way you can see the recoil As I fire it. So let's do that. I've got the thunk safety engaged All right, 22 TCM approximately 12 13 yards away Oh little bottleneck there. Let's see if I can Remove that Is it jumping around doesn't feel that way. I'm Transitioning and that's it So my plans are to do more with 22 TCM. I think it's a great round. I think that You know with the with the Glock conversion and some of the rifles that are being made. I know Rock Island makes a Map part of their map series that takes easy mags that has the 22 TCM 9R now the 9R is just a it's a 39 grain bullet instead of a 40 grain bullet But it's just a little just a little bit shorter So it fits in those CZ mags that you could use it in the map series and with some of the other mags that are Primarily set for 9 millimeter of these mags You know, it's not gonna make that much of a difference, but this will shoot the 9R It's just that the other ones won't shoot the 40 grain 22 TCM TCM ammo because it's just a little bit Longer and it sticks in the mag itself and it just doesn't feed as smoothly But here it is Rock Island. It's a tax series 22 TCM. It's a great round I'm going to do some comparisons with the 5.7 by 28 millimeter And I think that's something that may be pretty cool We're gonna still try to get that chronograph to test the velocity if you like videos like this Please subscribe and share. I always appreciate thumbs up button Thanks for watching and you guys be safe

Alright, so this series... I don't think it needs any introduction, okay? It's The Walking Dead. The comic series was huge in the aughts and was still pretty big in the 2010s up until when it ended, pretty abruptly last year, after 16 years going, and the TV show was a massive phenomenon about 10 years ago, and it slowly faded away into irrelevance, though I think it's still... I think it's still going on.  I thought, but yeah, those four compendiums are the entire series altogether, and I mostly read it in those, and up until recently I hadn't read this final one. I knew the series was over, but I just something about it didn't... I wasn't that excited about picking up the ending, and then recently I just decided, you know what, let's finish that off. I've already read a lot of it, let's read that one last big volume and see how it turns out, and overall, I would say it's fine. This is the introduction song. It's not very good, but it's not too long. Now, this one I think the non-spoiler section is gonna be fairly short, and then I will have a longer spoiler section than usual, so I don't know exactly we'll see how that is, and I'm sorry if I'm slurring my words a bit. My brace has got adjusted, and my tongue keeps bumping up against them, so I'm trying to avoid doing that, and just whatever. But yes, for those six people who don't know, The Walking Dead, is just about the zombie apocalypse.   Well, that's horrifying, and they need to figure out how to deal with it. And then right after that, Rick sets off, manages to meet up with his family, and then the whole rest of the series is basically just them surviving. There's no bigger goal that they're working towards. They aren't trying to find a cure or rebuild the government or anything like that. It's basically just them surviving. And that's kind of an issue with something that's this long. I'll get a little bit more into that in a minute, but yeah, that's a problem. It's also a little annoying to me, and I know this might not bother everybody, but it is annoying to me that we didn't get a chance to see the world actually fall apart.  Like, we don't see, okay, it's starting to get worse, and then the government collapses, and then every man for himself, and then a whole bunch more people start dying until it's just a small group of survivors who know what they're doing, which I get that not everyone wants to see that, but personally, I would have enjoyed it. Now, this series can be split into like five or six major arcs, depending on how you measure it. Like, there's the beginning arc where they're wandering around for a little while, and then they reach a prison, an abandoned prison, and manage to make that their home for a while, and then they have to leave and they're wandering around for a while longer, and then they reach this place called Alexandria, which is another settlement, and they manage to live there for a bit, and like, just depending on how you cut it up, you can say it's split into more or less arcs, but generally, I think five or six is a good number, and after a while, like, I really, really love the first couple. Don't get me wrong. And my personal favorite actually comes later on, but while I was reading this final compendium, this final volume, it just wasn't clicking with me quite the same way, and I was trying my damnedest to think about what exactly it was, because all of the characters were still pretty strong. All of the violence and all that was about the same, you know, it wasn't getting like excessively dark, or well, not more excessively dark. The series does turn into misery porn at a few points, and it's just depressing to read, which is a bit of an obstacle. But, you know, it wasn't getting worse near the end or anything like that. It was staying kind of the same, and that's when it hit me, oh, it's the same. Like, every story arc, while there are some variations, is kind of the same. There's a group of bad humans who are out there trying to kill the good guys, and the good guys have to fight them. And I'm simplifying a bit, I know, but it really is not that, they're not that different from one another, and that wouldn't have been a problem had the series not gone on for so long. Like, if you had basically just cut out this last compendium, or cut out the bulk of it, and just skipped straight to the final arc after the third one, then I think this would have been a lot better pacing-wise. But just, well, yeah, I don't have a whole lot else to say. Like, it kind of becomes repetitive. It's the same things happening over and over again. Like, they introduce new characters, and most of the time, they just wind up getting killed. You know, whether they get a little bit of characterization or not, they almost always just wind up dying, and sometimes it's shocking. Even at the end, there's one or two shocking deaths, but yeah, it's really only at the beginning that they really hit you with that, oh man, I was not expecting him to go, that sucks. So after a while, the shock just wears off, and well, yeah, there's nothing more I can add to that. It's just, it should have been a lot shorter, but as it stands, every individual arc is still good. You know, each individual arc still, well, not all of them, but most individual arcs still have some goal that they're working towards, which is very helpful, and most individual arcs have some internal pacing that's pretty good, and they all have some action which is fun, because the action in the series is really good. Even near the end, it was getting to be pretty tense, and the fighting is more than just, oh shit, here's a horde of zombies, or here's bunch of people, let's defeat them by being badasses. They usually have to be a lot smarter than that, and you can see their progression from the beginning to the end, where they just aren't really scared of the zombies anymore near the end, or well, they still have a healthy fear of them, but they aren't going to be paralyzed by seeing two or three at a time.  It's not that big a deal anymore. I think the strongest part of this series is the characterization, because even more minor characters do have some personality to them, and the major ones, the major ones that last very long at least, also have a lot of personality to them, and they're pretty flawed human beings overall, like even Rick and the main good guy characters do some pretty awful things now and again, and it's never made 100% clear one way or the other whether they're doing the right thing. So yeah, okay, I enjoyed that, and well no, that's just about it. The characters in this are extremely strong, like even though a lot of them were just being introduced just to get killed off, I understood that, but they were still enjoyable to read about. They have some good conversations with one another. They sometimes can be super badass. They can sometimes be really kind. The only thing that bothered me was the constant romantic interactions, like someone's leaving something else or someone else for a different person, or there's some marital problems between these two people. I just didn't care that much, and it doesn't get that much focus, thankfully, but still, it could have been a lot better. So the main two characters that I just really will remember for a long time is the main one, Rick Grimes, and his son, Carl Grimes. Now, Rick, like I said, was just a small town cop. He's not cut out for all the stuff that's going on, but he just says, okay, like, I'm gonna survive. I'm gonna survive. I'm gonna get my kid through this. I'm gonna get my friends through this, and we're just gonna start rebuilding. And that last part is what really stuck with me with him, because, excuse me, my mouth is getting really dry right now. I don't know why, but Rick does not want to resort to violence all the time, especially after the beginning of a series. Like, he always wants to talk things out. He tells people all the time, like, hey, we don't have to fight. We can share. We don't have to take. We can share. We can work together. It's not us versus us. It's us versus the zombies, okay? They're gonna kill all of us if we don't figure this out and come together. And that's just a really solid through line that he keeps throughout. Even though his character and personality does change throughout this, his desire for peace stays consistent. And when I think back on Rick, I'm not gonna think back on the successes that came from him being violent and from him fighting really well, because there are some of those. Don't get me wrong.  He can fight when he needs to. But I'm not gonna be thinking about those. I'm gonna be thinking about his much bigger successes, which came when he was able to bring people together for a common purpose. Like, he's a natural born leader. He's phenomenal at what he does. And so yeah, for that reason, I think he made a pretty great protagonist to follow throughout all of this. And I'm glad that he was the main character. Now, his son, Carl, starts off as really, really young kid.  And we see him try to adjust to this and how much difficulty he has doing that is, uh, well, that's, that's something to behold, let me tell you. But, excuse me, we also see him grow up a little and start to realize, okay, I don't, I'm not a little kid anymore. I don't need to be as afraid as I was, but at the same time, he's kind of angry at not only his dad, but at the world and at other people. And we see him as a surly teenager, sort of get over that and also become a better person partially through his father's influence. And I can't really get into a whole lot of that without spoilers. But yeah, Carl Grimes, also a really phenomenal character. And there are a couple of major villains in this too. There's obviously tons of minor ones, including the zombies, but the major villains are for the most part good. Like, uh, there's one called the governor who is the first major villain who is kind of just a psycho, but he's really good at being a psycho. So it worked. There's another one called Negan who I'll have to talk about in the spoiler section, but he's a absolutely phenomenal villain. Like, you really feel that, yes, he feels as though he's doing the right thing, but he's also a bully and a little bit of a sadist. So he's not a good person. And there's this woman called Alpha who was very disappointing. But for the most part, the villains in this are just like the main characters where they have some personality and you kind of get where they're coming from. You know, everyone's just doing what they have to to survive here. And some people decided that the best way to do that was to take from others. So I think that about wraps up the non-spoiler portion of this. Would I recommend this? Only if you're looking for something that's really, really dark, like something Berserk level levels of dark, I think you would probably enjoy this. But even then the plot does not have a whole lot of focus. And sometimes it just turns into misery porn, because at least with Berserk, all of the darkness and violence and all that is serving a purpose. Whereas in this, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. So just be aware of that and be aware that it's super long, but there are a couple of good points in the middle where I think you can just stop and say, okay, yeah, that's that's the end. They all have happily ever after. And that would work pretty well. But yeah, if you're not looking into that, then I don't recommend it. Or if you're just not a fan of zombie stuff, I don't blame you and I don't recommend it. Now onto spoilers. So let's talk about that final arc for a little bit. Basically, after Rick and them have been wandering around for a long time, they found Alexandria, like I said earlier, and they managed to build that up into a network of communities which all work together and protect one another. It's more of an alliance than anything, like they each have their own leaders, but they all pretty clearly respect Rick and they all work together pretty well.  We need to get rid of civilization and all that, come along. And at first I thought, okay, this will be a really great big arc, but it winds up being over really quickly. Like it's a lot of stuff happens and it don't get me wrong, but it's mostly just like the whispers and a zombie horde attack the settlements and cause a lot of damage. Like their leader Alpha dies pretty quickly and without much fanfare, and then the second in command takes over, but he also dies pretty quickly and without much fanfare. So that's disappointing, but the actual final final arc is where they find another network of communities over in Ohio, which is huge, way bigger than theirs. It's about 50,000 people and it calls itself the Commonwealth, and they kind of enter into negotiations to let themselves enter the Commonwealth. And the Commonwealth has some pretty severe problems with a class stratification and the right on the brink of a civil war.  And overall, I think this is a pretty solid arc. I liked that it was a little more complicated than just these are the bad guys, let's fight them. And well, no, no, that's about it. It's just I liked that it was a little more complicated. There was still some action, though, so don't worry about that. And I liked, again, just seeing how Rick is always saying to people, hey, come together, there's no need to fight, we need to share rather than take. But then Rick is assassinated afterwards. And the guy who did it is caught and put into jail for forever. You know, he's never getting out. And then it just cuts forward like 20 years or something. And Carl is a grown man. And the world has been more or less pretty well rebuilt, not all the way, but pretty well rebuilt. The zombies aren't really a threat anymore. They're starting to link up more and more settlements. And things are working out pretty well. And Carl just sees that there's a traveling circus with some zombies as I don't know, attractions or something. And he kills all of them. And he gets in trouble for that because that's destruction of private property. But he says, like, hey, these things aren't pets. We have to treat them as the threat that they are. Otherwise, all of this stuff that we built will come crashing down again. And a lot of people like look at Carl as, wow, he's the son of Rick Grimes. Rick Grimes is the man who made all of this possible. He brought everyone together and all that. And it just ends with Carl telling stories to his daughter about Rick Grimes and how amazing he was. And we get the sense that, like, yeah, Carl really misses his dad, but he's really proud of his dad. He's glad that his dad was there to build all of this. And it couldn't have been done without him. And so basically it just ends the same way as World War Z, where the zombies are still around. They're still a threat, but humans have just learned to deal with it. And so I think for a long-running series like this that isn't really building towards anything, I think that's about the best ending you could have done. And it's pretty solid. Don't get me wrong. But it's not amazing. A few months ago, I reviewed Why the Last Man, which was another comic series. And that one was kind of building towards something. But when we got there, it was done in a very unsatisfying way.  That's it.  And so a lot of people in the comments were saying, like, yeah, it's difficult to find a serialized comic that actually ends in a decent way. So I think this one we got with The Walking Dead was about as good as we could hope for. And finally, to close out the spoiler section, I got to talk a little bit about Negan. Now, he's amazing villain. Crazy manchild, loves just swearing a lot. He loves inflicting violence on people. But you can clearly tell that he does feel responsibility for the people underneath him. He really does want to protect them and want to provide for them. And he does have his own moral code. It's kind of twisted, but he does have it. And so he's not the worst guy ever. I would still say he's a bad person personally. Excuse me. But he's not the worst guy ever. And after the all out war arc where Rick and the others finally overthrow him and bring about the peace that they can start rebuilding, rather than killing Negan, they put him in prison. And he's in there for several years. And at first, I didn't like that they kept showing him in prison because, well, it just felt kind of like the, let's call it the Silor effect, where if you've ever read the, or excuse me, if you ever watched the TV show Heroes, there was a villain in the first season called Silor who was basically just going around killing people and taking their powers. And it was, he was a really solid villain because for a long time no one knew what he looked like. No one knew what his real name was. They didn't know exactly how many powers he had. All they knew was that he was very difficult to find and very strong. And he was killing people. And once you do meet him and get some of his backstory and everything, he's still a really creepy solid villain. But after the first season, they didn't really know what to do with him, but they still kept him around and kept him doing stuff. And it was just really obnoxious and awkward. And it took away from what was a really phenomenal villain. And I was afraid they were going to do the same thing with Negan. But no, they actually took it in a different direction. Like he leaves prison and he actually starts helping out Alexandria and them. And it becomes more of a story of can someone like that be rehabilitated and can someone like that be redeemed. And in that way, Negan's storyline kind of parallels Rick's because, excuse me, because Rick has also done a whole lot of violent stuff, mostly at the beginning of the series. But then he keeps telling people come together. We don't need to fight. He becomes a peace broker. And Negan, he doesn't really become a leader again after that. But he also becomes a man of peace. He doesn't need to go out killing people. He doesn't need to bully others into submission anymore. And so, yeah, I think his character arc was really good, really solid. I liked where it ended up. So that's about all I have to say. Like I said, Walking Dead really long. This is just one quarter of it right here. And really good series, I would say overall, but does have a lot of issues, mostly with plotting and pacing. And it just gets repetitive. So if you're into dark stuff, if you're into zombie stuff, then I'd say sure, maybe go ahead and read through this. And like I told the non spoiler people, there's a couple of good stopping points. I think you might be able to check online and see that. But I would say after they reach Alexandria and make it safe, that's a good stopping point. And the end of the all out war arc is also a good stopping point. But it's up to you at the end of the day. I think this is solid series. But there's not a whole lot of people who would love it, love it. Thanks to everyone for watching another long comic review of mine. And thanks to everyone on my Patreon list as well, including but not limited to Oppo Savalainen, Alex Humva, Ashley Watson, Ava Tumor, Bee Quinn, Brother Santotys, Christopher Quinten, Emily Miller, Joel, Johnny St. Clair, Madison Lewis Bennett, Ronnie, Sarkis Avakian, Taylor Briggs, Tobacco Crow, Tom Beanie, Topher Wheeler, Vacuous Silas, and Vaivictus. You guys are pretty cool. And I've been needing to do more comic reviews. And I keep meaning to do some manga reviews as well. But, you know, it's difficult to find a good time to fit it into the schedule. And it's difficult to find ones that people know about and will watch. So I don't know if you want more of this, then just let me know. Share this video around, like the video, comment on it, all that stuff I'm supposed to say at the end here. And anyways, thanks for watching. See you later. Bye.
