felly, mae gennym 20 minu o gofyn o sicrwyddiant. Rwy'n credu bod y dyfodol yn 40 minu yn y tyfnol, felly mae'n ddiweddol wedi bod yn gwneud yn gweithio'r gweithio a gwahanol. Rwy'n credu bod y ffwrdd o sicrwyddiant, mae'n cerddau bryd â'r cabrwyddiant of security experts that guard the code so we don't actually publicize that very often but you may know about the existence of security at postgresql.org so if you write an email to that address it gets responded to by a team of people that are as yet unnamed in any forum but the most important thing to understand is that postgres is secure because there are people protecting it okay and in some cases you'll see companies saying we provide security for postgres well actually it's this team that does the majority of that work okay so all of the assignments of cve numbers discussions about disclosure and such like come from this team so what i'd like to talk to you about is the new features in postgres 10 and many of you will know that we've had a number of different password facilities within postgres for a number of years plain text password obviously is not particularly useful uh so we've actually had md5 password protections um what we now know is that the md5 algorithms are not particularly useful and what we need is something much better than a simple 128 bit hashing so what we're moving to is char 2 256 bit encryption as used by bitcoin uh which you would think would be enough but there is a a char 512 bit as well that we could have chosen now the problem with that is it's extremely slow so one of the things that we've chosen in this release is just to implement the 256 bit version now that isn't the only thing that we've done and in fact that's not really the most important thing because what we've done is we've looked at the threat model that we're trying to protect against uh and thought about the fact that storing passwords on the client is difficult storing on on the server even is difficult if somebody manages to get access to the server and worse than that intercepting things in the middle of your conversation is also a problem and the fourth thing that's a problem is actually recording the responses between the server and the client and replaying them at a later date in order to gain access to the server so there's actually four different uh main problems uh that we would like to protect ourselves against and that's lucky because there's a protocol called scram uh that allows us to uh protect against all four of those problems it's an itf uh rfc it stands for assaulted challenging response authentication mechanism uh and what it actually does is involves uh more than one uh challenge and response messages passing between the client and the server now i'll come back to that in a sec but the uh the the scram protocol is actually implemented uh using an underlying protocol called SASL uh and uh what this does is allow us to future proof the um uh the protocol choices that we're making by uh producing an abstract layer uh by which we can uh interact with the server so what we've actually implemented in this release is scram on top of the SASL protocol what does that mean uh what that means is that we'll have the same security as a number of other vendors but also we'll have future proof security in the sense that if we invent future protocols we will be able to implement them really quickly so what we're talking about is we'll be moving to a situation where almost every release uh we will be able to keep up with authentication technology to the point that um we'll be able to stay abreast of the the latest security uh enhancements from the industry now we've done that in a number of other areas where we've been the first people to implement uh database consistency models or the first people to implement new indexing technology and this actually uh is a very important new feature for uh security now obviously uh what i'm talking about here is actually even more important in the context of services moving into the cloud because now we're actually uh looking at a world where uh the security is stronger when using Postgres in the cloud which is a very good thing so what we've implemented uh in this particular release is not actually directly pluggable by extensions but it will be extendable within the code for future releases so in postgres 10 we've implemented scram shah 256 uh and there's a quick example of how to uh store that uh for a particular role now the implementation is backwards compatible so if you upgrade to 10 it's not going to get in your way but what you do have is the ability to use this new feature if you choose uh so there's some settings in the pghba.conf that'll allow you to take advantage of these uh new settings and uh what we're able to do is store the uh the role password column in the pgauth id catalog table can now uh store within it verifiers that meet the scram standard so we'll be able to store md5 passwords as well as scram passwords in the server now when i say store the password the approved term now is verifier because the way that scram works is if somebody gets hold of your database for example a backup or a dump they may have the verifier information but because of the way that scram works that will not be enough for them to directly crack uh the the passwords used so there's actually um built into the scram system is uh this concept of multiple iterations that allows it to uh allows us to make it computationally intensive to actually crack passwords and as a result it will be much less feasible for people that don't possess very large cracking arrays to actually get inside the the database itself so a very important implementation at the same time we've also made it possible to produce dumps that don't contain uh the password or verifier information uh and uh that works with a number of implementations that have got uh sort of high security features added uh for example rds other changes in this release row level security has been substantially improved to make the planning work very efficiently in all cases and that's actually a very advanced implementation so row level security will still work even when you're doing quite complex joins in your sql so as a result i can say that with these changes row level security is completely full strength and ready for very very wide use within your organisations so whether you're looking at uh sort of military grade security medical privacy or perhaps some form of multi-tenant access will all be possible with these new facilities we've also made quite a lot of steps forward removing requirements for cpu user from within postgres and um they uh the last part of that was committed this afternoon uh in a patch called monitoring roles uh and for the first time we've actually got some default uh no login roles that will allow us to uh to make it easier to uh to grant access to various kinds of monitoring systems so these are standard default roles that will be available in in all postgres implementations and that should make it uh easier to use or at least easier than it was before so uh some quite important changes so uh the balance of features in this release is a good balance between uh uh advanced techie features and also usability features that have been uh causing people problems or minor annoyances uh over the time so um one last point is uh logical replication uh that's looking to get some kind of security model associated with it as well one of the things that we'd like to do is make it very easy to use from a security perspective uh so we're hoping that uh that will be something that we can change in this release so um thank you very much uh that was my 20 minute overview of security features in postgres 10 uh does anybody have any questions about these features that I can attempt to answer for you okay it's getting towards that time of day isn't it where it's like yeah okay yeah get off now so okay uh well thank you very much for listening I hope you enjoy the conference I'd specifically like to thank the organisers uh for organising uh a great event one of our largest to date so please at least say thank you very much to the organisers


That is right, we are back with Monopoly Hut in NHL 22. Let's get it. Yo, what's going on, Leaf Nationally for Back Again, and welcome back to the channel. Today, this is episode one of Monopoly Hut. We are gonna run through it this year, I hope anyways. I'm excited to do this. The board is looking amazing, so let's show you what the board is looking like this year.  If we're looking at the first strip here, we got just the regular packs, we got Banker Up, we got Buying Any Player, we got Roll Again, and then we got the Upgrade Set. So with the Upgrade Set, we can do the one where we trade in 80 plus overalls for an 82 plus, the Gold Upgrade, Silver Upgrades, and maybe even X-Factor Upgrades, depending if we get any X-Factors we want to upgrade. Looking at the second half of the strip, left side of the board, we got a regular pack, we got special packs, we got Buying Any Player Again, we got Miss a Turn, and we got Discard Best Player, which would be our best overall player. Looking at the top of the board, we have regular packs again, we got a pack line, so we open up a pack, use the players in the pack, and put them on a line. Special packs again, Buying Any Player, we got Community Chest, which we still have the envelope from two years ago when you guys gave me suggestions for the Community Chest. We have Pink Slips. So Pink Slips we haven't really landed on in previous years, but how this works is we head into a Div Rivals game, like we would play any regular game. If we win against our opponent, we get to look at his team, and we get to choose our favorite player on his team and buy him off of the auction market. And then looking at the right side of the board, regular packs, we got Chance, we got Buying Any Player, Buying Any Special Card, Bankrupt, and Second Chance, and what Second Chance is, is if we land on Discard Best Player, we have a chance to bring that player back. So we don't discard him, we just take him off of the team for the time being until we can land on Second Chance and get that player there. So pretty self-explanatory. Without further ado, let's make our HUD team and have our first role of the episode. All right, Hockey Ultimate Team, we are here. Team name, Monopoly HUD, let's get, let's get it going here. Abbreviation, as always, MUT, and Open Starter Pack. I don't think anyone would take this team name. So we should be good, we're checking, I don't know what we're checking. All right, here is our starter pack. Let's open it up, see who we do get, we're gonna get our Leaf, you know, Uniforms and Logo, Arena, all that good stuff. I'm excited to see who our X Factor's gonna be. I'm excited to see what Gold Players we are gonna get from here.  So I don't know how that's gonna go because you know, this is a totally different game.  I'm excited to see who our X Factor player is gonna be. We're gonna wait to see. So we get David Camp, we get Justin Hall and we get Jake Muzzin, not too bad. So let's see who our X Factor is. Ooh, Kyle Conner, that isn't bad. That actually isn't too bad, I've seen worse. So we will take that, get started, skip the tutorial. We know all this good stuff here. Nothing to be really worried about. We get our free pack obviously, which we're just gonna skip. There's probably gonna be nothing in it, 600 coins. We will definitely take that. And yeah, so what we're gonna do, we have our returning user packs to open. We're gonna do the tip set packs as well. So I will do that quickly. And then I'll catch up with you guys.  We now have nine unopened packs. We're gonna get straight into them here. We're probably gonna skip all the loyalty rewards. We have a 81 overall choice pack, a player's pack and a mini pack. So we'll start with the mini pack, see if there's something in there. And then from the loyalties, we will skip. And then after all of this, we get to roll a dice and potentially open up more packs, which is just great. So nothing out of that, no big deal. We had a feeling there was gonna be nothing there. These loyalty reward packs, I got nothing out of them in my main account. So we're just gonna skip this. Chris Tierney, not too bad, that'll help out the team. We gotta remember, anything at this point is good. Power up collectible, that can help us with that Kyle Conner, which is huge. Another gold player's 750 coins, that's good to see. I really hope we don't roll bankrupt the first roll because we are sitting on a decent amount of coins, 3.5K to be exact. So let's hope that we don't roll in bankrupt. We got another Leafs jersey, no other gold player there, okay. Well, we did get Chris Tierney, he'll get onto the team. A power up collectible is huge for those X factors when we pull any of them. These guys will make the team realistically another five from their coins. Those 75s and 76s will make the team ideally because our team is pretty garbage to be honest. So I guess we'll take the gold players coming our way. Tyler Mott, anything else? Johnston, and that's about it. Last loyalty reward pack, or no, second last loyalty reward pack. Okay, another 750 coins. We'll take the coin bonuses, man. Like I said, I really hope we don't roll bankrupt because, man, we'd be losing out on 4.8K right now. We get another mini pack here. So I was right about that last loyalty pack being the last one. Anything on this one? No. Okay, so we got an 81 overall choice pack, 81. I think I said that. Let's see what 81 we could get. Hopefully something good. James Reimer, Ty Smith, Kevin Lankinen, and ooh, team of the week, Sammy Vanden. I think we're gonna go with that just because it's a team of the week. It's a pretty sweet looking car too if we get bombarded, activated. So you know what, we'll take a Sammy Vanden. Maybe we shoulda took a gold tender. Yeah, just because our gold tender is probably not the greatest right now. But we'll take a Sammy Vanden. Now we got a players pack. 10 items, all players, at least five gold players, and 180 plus overall. So let's see if we can get in here. I've seen some crazy pulls out of these packs. So all right, there's our gold tender. I'm not gonna, I'm so bad at pronouncing his name. So we pull Alex. The newest Detroit Red Wing will take that. Maxime Mammon, okay. Tucker Pullman, anything else? No, nothing else. But hey, we will definitely take an Alex and let's throw these guys on the team before we roll the dice, see what we're looking at, and then we'll look up from there. All right, so this is what the team is looking like after those packs. It's not good, Doug. Like Tierney Mott, Kyle Conner, Day Harnay. Yeah, I mean, that's pretty much it. Defense is looking a little decent, whole Muzzin, Vanden and Pullman, Thomas, and yep, that guy's name. And then we got Alex in it. So hopefully the board blesses us some more packs because as of now, this is just not it, chief. All right, first roll of the episode of the series. And we're using our phone for a roll the dice and we get a four. So a four, looking at the board, is open up one pack. So we're opening up one premium pack. All right, let's hope this premium pack is holding the most juiciest of juiciest poles here for us because we need something to help the team out here. So here we go, something here. Brandon Smith, that's actually our defense. We don't need defense, man. That's a little tough, actually. We do not need defense. Give me a forward because our forward core is not looking promising at all. All right, another defenseman and a center who's a silver. So this does not help us out one bit. That is so tough. Oh, we do get this EA play starter pack. I totally forgot about that. So let's open this up here real quick. Maybe there's something in here. Another chance to give us something good. Are you a forward? All right, that's not bad. We get a center there, so that's gonna remove some of the silver players in our team. Michael Shaput, Mason Mitchell. Can we get something big here? That'd be greatly appreciated here. Come on, something, no? Defenseman, defenseman. Any good forwards? No, all right. Well, our luck in packs are just not a thing so far to start off the year. That's a little tough. So I know we did get a better center. Let's throw him in. McMaster, don't mind if I do. Okay, yeah, Zach, yeah, okay. I mean, a plus two upgrade there on the left side here. I guess that's our lineup going into game one. It's gonna be interesting to say the least, man. Now you guys let me know what I can do with upgrading these guys, because as of now, I could upgrade Kyle Connor up to an 82. Now you guys let me know, because it is using my coins. Should I use X factor upgrades only when I land on the spot on the board? Should I make another spot for it on the board or should I do it whenever I want to? You guys let me know in the comment section below. For now, we're gonna keep them out of 74. Okay, so without further delay, it's time to head into our first rivals game. And as you can see here, we need to play five placement games. So I'm gonna play two this episode and then the final three off camera most likely. This way we can get some packs for the week. So we've seen what the team's looking like. It's not great. This is my first online game of the year. Haven't played one on my main account either. So this should be interesting, especially with a team like this. I don't have high hopes.  Also, since this is a trial, I'm not sure if we're gonna find too many people to play as we find an opponent. I'll keep my mouth shut. Who does he have? Braden Point, Johnny Goudreau, William Nylander.  Hey, it doesn't matter. We're playing games. We got to upgrade our team, obviously. It's gonna be interesting to see how this goes. Wish me luck, guys. There you go. All right, here we go. Off to the races. Little toe drag. Get through one. Good pokes. Get that across. Oh, no. We couldn't get the shot off there. Good play, though. Our defense is good, which is a good thing, obviously. There you go. Decent passing. Kyle Conner. They are, they, they are named. I couldn't say his name for some reason. One-nothing. He gets the first goal for Monopoly Huck. Kyle Conner getting an assist. Peter Quinville getting the secondary one-nothing. Great start for the boys. Let's keep it up. There you go. Oh, this guy's got wheels. Across to Conner. Oh, my. Almost made a two-nothing there. Kyle Conner's still on the sides, by the way. Same with Sammy Vattenin, who's about to score a goal. Good shot. Let's go, Hall. There you go. Get that across. Chris Tierney from Justin Hall.  That's my defenseman. Shutdown Mountain Justin Hall. Gets an assist. Chris Tierney gets us on the board. Two-nothing lead before the first period ends. We love it. The icing on the cake right there for the first period. No, end the period off like this, please. And that's the end of one. We're up two-nothing. Things you'll love to see. Looking at the stats. He is dominating us on time and attack, almost a minute more. We have four shots to a zero, which is great. And we're up two-nothing. I quickly do want to see this guy's team because he clearly has a way better team.  We did get the win. He quit. So we get a rage quit in our first game. Absolutely beautiful. We love to see that. We were dominating. I felt like we played better than him. Besides the time on attack. Now we can actually see his team. So Jake Muzzin, Marcus Foligno, Morgan Riley at an 83. Tom Wilson, Neylanders at an 82. What's a John? He's hockey raiding. An 82. Potvin. Oh my God. He had an 86. Hut icon, Potvin. That card art is beautiful. So he had a good team to say the least, guys. And we were able to win it. We made him rage quit. Or maybe his trial even ended. Who knows, man? But we will take that two-nothing win. It's time to get back to the board. Before we get to the board, we completed a bunch of objectives here.  We finished something in the training camp. That's 500 coins. So we are currently up to 6.5K. My goodness. Let's not go bankrupt. All right, so last time around, we rolled a four, which was one premium pack. So hopefully we can get a better roll. Maybe get some more packs here. So roll the dice and we get a five. So five again is, once again, open up one premium pack. So let's head to the store. We all know that these premium packs ain't the greatest. And we're definitely not gonna get a pull in one of them. But at this point, we're trying to build our team. Anything, any gold player at this point would help our team out tremendously. So let's see what we get in this pack here. And Owen Stevens, that can help our offense for sure. We don't need defensemen, which is the one thing I was noticing. Quinton Byfield, that's a great pull. Actually excited to use him. We will definitely need him. Good luck in card there. Quinton Byfield, welcome. One more gold player would be nice here, maybe. We get another power-up collectible, a gold tender in James Reimer, which we don't need a gold tender, but we get a power-up collectible, which is huge. And a Tri-City Americans jersey. So not a bad pack. Let's go throw those guys onto the team. So McMaster, I think he did something last year, I'm not too sure, but he's gonna get substituted for Quinton Byfield. Welcome to the team, Quinton. And he will be playing second line minutes, even though Deharne scored the first goal of the series. He's now demoted to the third line.  Technically he is better here. We do have Maxman, who's better as well. Speedwise, the same. Nolan Stevens is actually looking better here. We'll throw him into the lineup. We'd even pull him, but we'll throw him in there. And that is our fourth line done.  And the defenseman that we pulled, don't think he'll make the team. I was wrong. Yeah, he's not making the team. So that's it. That's all the changes that we made was Quinton Byfield on the second line and Stevens, because he had better skating. Well, since our first game went so well, it's time to head into the second game. Debut Quinton Byfield. Hopefully he can do something for us here. And hopefully we can collect another win here. And we found our second game against Rizzy. He has Ovi, Aho, and Gensel. Okay, this should be another interesting one. I don't have a good feeling about it. I'll be honest. Is that the tyranny? Oh, good pop. Oh, did he not trip? I thought he tripped me. Good save. Good stick left.  Good save. That rebound was not ideal. Came right back out to Aho. We gave up our first goal. And I mean, looking at the cards he has, dude, this guy's got a really good team. This is gonna be a rough one. Okay, all right. This is just not going the way I wanted. You can really tell the difference between my shitty cards to his really good cards. There you go, Kyle Conner. Away to the races. Oh, good save by Flurry. Good chance. Finally got something going there, so. I don't know. Hopefully the signs are looking up here. Halsey playing his heart out on defense. Hull of Muzzin together, man. Real pairing in real life works in the game, I guess. Up up to Muzzin. Ah, we tried. This is not good. Muzzin's back, though. Good poke from Hull. Another great poke from Justin Hull. Things you'll love to see. Take a shot at Muzzin. Period's ending. Not a great first period to say the least, man. I did not feel good at all. And looking at the stats, you can just tell how bad we're playing. Dominating us time on attack. Shot wise, it's close. I'm not feeling good with this team, dude. I mean, look at this, Ovi. John Carlson in an 85. Aho at an 84. Keith at an 80, okay. Nugent Hopkins, Spurgeon. Yeah, Jack Hughes, and then he has Flurry and Ed, who's in 86, so it's gonna be tough to beat Mark Andre Flurry with this team. We're gonna have to get dirty and get these gritty goals here, so let's do it. Where's my team? Quinnville, why are you coming towards Byfield instead of like going to the net? This is horrible defense for me, and that is horrible. Dude, I just wanna know up there, he's coming towards me. I'm trying to pass a puck for a cross, Creaseluck. He's got 83 Gensel too. I don't know, man. This is so rough with this team, dude. We need better players than we need the Mesaap, dude. Let's go. Get that across. Ah, got caught in some feet there, and he couldn't get a clean look at that. There you go, nice little move. Gotta get created with it.  It's gonna be impossible to be Flurry. I'm telling you right now. Quick, beautiful, two on one. He was just holding a stick out. That was horribly played by me. Across. Oh, it's gonna be impossible to be Flurry this game. Like I'm not even joking. Not a good period again. Like we created more things offensively there. We're not gonna be Mark Andre Flurry this game. I'm telling you right now. Nine shots to my six. Time on attack.  Let's go Tierney. Let's go Tierney. Chris Tierney, oh man. He just bumped me off of that puck. We got a minute left, Tierney. Like, can we just break the shuttle of these? A few moments later. Good pass. Bang, all right. We broke, yo, 28.3 seconds. All right, all right, we're gonna take a timeout. It's possible. I think it's possible we can get something done with this first line. We're gonna try it. 28.3 seconds, we're gonna call a timeout here. Calling our timeout. Did not mean to go into instant replay. Let's go. Good poke. Tierney, no, Tierney. What did we lose that puck on? Oh my God. All right, hey. It was a good fight with this team. The fact that we only lost 2-1, I mean, sure. I wanna see what Tierney lost that puck on there, man. That was something. Is it even gonna let me look at instant replays? Is this game already that broken? Yeah, the game's already that broken.  I don't know what we lost it on. It is what it is. It was a good battle, man. Like, look at the timeout attack. We played better, man. We just didn't shoot enough. And like, it's so hard with this team because you get bumped off the puck so easily. It is what it is. One-on-one, I'll take that. We could've came back in that game too, man. Just Mark Andre Fleury was an absolute tank. So in terms of coins and all that, we're stuck at 69.96, nice. So that is gonna be it for the episode. We really have nothing else to do. Those other three games, I'm probably gonna play off-camera quickly. Look in here. If we can, I'm interested. Are you guys down to do an X-Factor set? Or should I make that a spot on the board? We can only do this once a month. We can choose any gold player. It'd be 20 gold players for an X-Factor player. So you guys let me know. I don't even think I have enough. Yeah, so I don't even have enough gold players, but let me guys know, when I have enough gold players, should I be able to do an X-Factor player exchange or should I make a spot on the board where we can do it? Let me know, because we're only able to do these once a month. But in terms of the episode, that's gonna be it for today's video. If you guys enjoyed it, be sure to drop a like on it. If you guys are new around here, make sure to hit the subscribe button down below. Like I said, we're on the road to 4K subscribers.  I'm excited to produce a lot of Monopoly Hut this year for the first real time ever. So yeah, that is it for today's video. Thank you guys very much for watching and I will see you guys very, very soon. Peace.

It's not on the agenda Won't take very long. Don't don't be frightened September is What I refer to as parole month at NIH because it marks the last meeting of a group of Council members that have served us for four years I think it's very good to have the new council members here because you get to see there is an actual end to your service Really does come to a closure sometime So I'm going to read some parting words and Eric's going to hand out Lovely parting gifts We're gonna do this alphabetically and fortunately ladies first Carol I have known Carol Bolt for almost 20 years served many times on peer review panels for me and the last four years here on the council and and One of the remarkable things about Carol's you can assign just about anything to her Informatics databases data science Mouse genetics model organisms trainings throw it at Carol and you'll get something thoughtful back from her I Don't think I know anybody who smiles as often as Carol does and if you can smile at a council meeting and a peer review Meeting it says volumes about the kind of grace and poise that you bring to those meetings So it's been a pleasure to work with you Carol and we look forward to continuing interactions with you Okay, next up is Dan road Dan your knowledge of medical genetics genomics Electronic health records it's been invaluable to the council and to the genetic medicine The evolution and and really expansion of genomic medicine research at this Institute One of the things I love about Dan is he's got a very Hard not to be honest and straightforward method of communication More than once I've heard Dan say something along the lines of oops. I forgot we were an open session But I I find that refreshing and Really appreciate that kind of straightforward candor. So thank you Dan and we'll see you at a workshop soon And Speaking of straightforward and candid Val Sheffield is next on the list Now is someone else I've known for a long long time I think you were on maybe the first committee that I peer review committee that I have organized back yes, indeed and lots of seps special emphasis panels and Somebody else who very willingly speaks his mind Dan is the sorry Val is the still stuck on Dan Val is the classic true physician scientist. I've met few people who care as much Passionately about the well-being of their patients and have this profound intellectual curiosity to try to get at the underlying molecular genetic events that underpin disease Val's always been the voice at the council table to remind us about the importance of investigator initiated research projects and We're in the business of studying genetic diseases But Val also reminds us about how important the first step in that process is of clinician based phenotyping So Val as I said before look forward to working with you again Okay, Jay Shenduri earlier today Jay discovered that this was his last council meeting You should have seen the glee I told him and actually hurt my feelings that that was his official response Jay is a real Renaissance man Renaissance scientists covers many many fields We've used him and relied on him for a lot of technology development and a lot of fields that are important to genomic sciences But you can also throw production sequencing at Jay Mendelian disease massively parallel functional analysis And again get something very thoughtful back from Jay So thank you very much for four years and see you again So this has really been a terrific group of people to work with And we say goodbye to the council venue But we know we'll see you again if nothing else at all the wonderful opportunities for a peer review that are now available Thank you all so I think you can gavel us closed on the open session We'll take about a 15 minute break and resume with the second closed session Thank you


The Electoral College will be voting on the 14th of December and they will be finalizing the results of the election. All that's left is for Congress to approve of it in January, but that hasn't stopped Donald Trump from still tweeting about the election and how he won and there was fraud. And now he is explicitly calling on the Supreme Court to overturn the results of the election, disenfranchising literally millions of people. He tweeted out the Supreme Court has a chance to save our country from the greatest election abuse in the history of the United States. 78% of the people feel know the election was rigged. Now, I don't know what poll he's referring to there. Maybe it's some Twitter poll. It doesn't matter. He lost and he knows he lost, but he doesn't care. He thinks that he's entitled to have the Supreme Court hear his case because he appointed three Supreme Court justices. So he's thinking, look, I'm telling them that the election was rigged and that I should be the president. So they should just give me what I want. It doesn't work that way. That's not the way that our judicial system functions. It's certainly a corrupted system that needs to be reformed, but it doesn't work that way. It's not that bad, thankfully. But I mean, even though it's Donald Trump and we're all not surprised by this, this is still really important. Like, this is the sitting president calling for authoritarianism. Like, if he got what he wanted, this would no longer be a democracy. Democracy, as we know it, would be dead and gone. So it doesn't work like that, but he doesn't care because he only cares about himself. Now, if this were just Donald Trump who is doing this, that would be one thing, but it's not just Donald Trump. And when he's out, the Republican Party isn't suddenly going to have an epiphany and think, oh, wow, I support democracy. I mean, throughout the years, they've been chipping away at our democratic institutions. They've been doing voter suppression more and more to win elections, but now they are just jumping on board with Donald Trump's attempt to steal the election. Now, I think that this lawsuit isn't going to go anywhere likely, but the fact that they are openly endorsing the idea that democracy should be undermined in a brazen way should scare everyone because they're not going to change their minds when Trump is out of office. You're not going to put the cat back in the bag once you become authoritarian. You stay that way. Now, of course, referring to the Texas lawsuit where they are trying to get the results of other states overturned because they are alleging that mail-in ballots violated the law. Like, this is such a complex web of lies that they're trying to tell to get to the conclusion. And ultimately, I don't think that they're going to have standing in court to say that other states are doing something unconstitutional and they're violating their own constitutions. Having said that, though, what I care about is the fact that more than a hundred Republicans have signed on to this effort, an effort to overturn the results of the election that includes Matt Gaetz, Louis Gohmert, and basically half of the GOP, House Caucus. So as The Hill reports, more than 100 House Republicans on Thursday signed onto an amicus brief in support of the Texas lawsuit aimed at overturning the election results in four swing states, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, that handed Democrat Joe Biden the White House. This brief presents our concern as members of Congress shared by untold millions of their constituents that the unconstitutional irregularities involved in the 2020 presidential election cast doubt upon its outcome and the integrity of the American system of elections states the brief from GOP lawmakers. So what they're doing here is admitting that they're against democracy, but this is really Orwellian because while they attack democracy, while they call for the result of a Democratic election to be overturned, they're claiming that we're the ones who actually are the true proponents of democracy. We're the ones who support democracy. That's why we're calling on democracy to be overturned. And the sad thing is that the base believes this and perhaps a lot of these Republicans are signing onto this amicus brief because they're afraid of what the base thinks. And let's face it now. We are dealing with a political party and their base who is delusional. Like we are living through George Orwell's America. But for me to say that they'd say, no, no, no, you're the one who's putting us in George Orwell's America because you're the ones who stole democracy. Like it's a situation that I don't know how this is sustainable. And a new report from the Washington Post found that only 27 Republicans acknowledge the basic reality that Joe Biden won. Two congressional Republicans actually think that Trump is the winner. 220 congressional Republicans overall. They won't even say who won. So that's 88% of congressional Republicans.  How do you work with folks like this who deny basic reality, basic facts who think the opposite of what happened is the real reality? It's just it's a really sad situation. Like I think a lot of liberals don't understand how much work there is to be done. They don't get it. Biden is not up to the task. Biden is not going to be able to repair these divides. Like he says, by just reaching out to Republicans and creating some government entity of some sort that reaches out to conservatives. That's not going to cut it. The only thing that will break the temperature here or break the fever, I should say, and stop this delusions is if people are no longer susceptible to said radicalization, they have to have their material conditions met. And what we're looking at here is societal collapse. We're facing an eviction crisis. And we don't even know if we're going to see a second round of stimulus checks. We don't even know. So as people work longer hours for lower wages, get more and more desperate, this delusion will continue. And the Republican Party is not going to change once Trump is out. Trump may not have been successful at stealing this election. But if Republicans are now openly embracing authoritarianism and they know they can say anything, deny reality outright and their base will still believe them. We are in for a really, really difficult couple of decades if this is the path that we're headed on because we have the Democratic Party who functionally is the moderate Republican Party now or the Republican Party of the 2000s. And we have a Republican Party that is just there in another dimension mentally. They're nowhere to be found. So how are we supposed to come together with approximately 50% of a country who denies objective reality? Like what do you do in that situation? I don't think there's a right answer to that. But what's important is that we grapple with this fact because this isn't going to go away with Donald Trump. This delusion, this authoritarianism and an embrace of anti-democratic behavior, this is going to be with us for quite some time. And just because Trump didn't steal the election this time doesn't mean that Republicans in the future won't be successful at killing democracy. We already are seeing them just brazenly say, I want to overturn the result of our Democratic elections. That's a really bad sign. Like I don't think people fully understand how bad of a sign this is for the long-term health of our democracy. Like we are in the end stage of our democracy unless we can somehow reverse this. But you know, we need a miracle.


All right, right now I want to cut this log off a little and first I'm gonna start by Making a little cut This is just a little tiny test cut so that I can Pivot the blade and see how well they're lined up See when I when I pivot the blade to horizontal it should cut right up to the edge of where it cuts vertically Hey, Carcane, you want to bring me a clamp? Hey bring me one of those clamps At some point I'll have some more official wave holding this up. Uh, yeah, I'm gonna cut it this way next Oh wait, I just realized I have to go this way cutting vertical and I have to go back cutting horizontal All right, let me just All right, that's better. Hopefully nothing flies out and hit the camera Oh, we got a cloud Maybe All right, how long is that cloud gonna be there? Oh, that was a big cloud Optimal day for doing this I was hoping I could get this little test done first. All right, let's wait a little bit All right, now you gotta hold the camera nice and stable All right captain you want his board right here from megadelhouse. Yeah So, yeah, I'm asking you. I'm not captain, but yeah.  All humans are out of the way. Okay Sweet that is except I needed to cut a little bit deeper. Go put it with the other ones Around the bulldozer. All right, I think I think next we'll cut that part All right, you can stop for a second unless you want to get the the switching of the thingy Yeah, okay. Are you still on? It's still on. Oh, you've been going this whole time? Yes Okay, you didn't say stop before. Yeah, that's fine. Yesterday when I was testing the vertical and horizontal cut I want to put this up all the way It was a little bit too far this way. So It made a little shim And it appears that's the right that puts it right at the right size So I guess I'll rivet that on later. I'm not doing it right now. I just don't feel like it Yeah, without a little spacer It'll cut a vertical and horizontal and actually have the meat and take off the piece Um, okay right now I want to raise it up a bit I have to raise it up enough to get to get that bolt clear All right, yeah, you know, it'd be really good to know how many spokes it takes to get that bolt clear All right, remember this humans I think seven will actually do it, but if I go up eight spokes the bolt under the the blade is totally clear Just make sure it's still tight. I have to move the whole thing over but my clamp is gonna hit So I better switch All right, I'll get this process all smoothed out soon I'll make some kind of Not automated, but like easier to do Position holder clamp riser or something or others This is good enough for Tess. Oh, yeah, I gotta move it over. Okay. What am I going to? What I'm doing there is just Making sure the blade is not like tilting up or down as it goes through It looks like it's tilting down a little bit actually I'll have to get it lined up really well and then make some kind of Hold the riser that Kind of locks it into position Although it's not off by much when it is. I haven't had a situation where Couldn't get through Okay, you guys are gonna be careful now. Well, the blade's shooting that way. Okay, you should be fine Should not off Should not a camera Gave me well, I'm really happy with this uh When the sun's out obviously and I still haven't cleaned off the solar panels. I'm gonna get more power probably gonna get like 15% more power 20% more when I clean all that dirt off Yeah, this thing is working really really well No, no, no, don't lean on that. Don't lean on that. Don't move it If this if the log moves at all, I won't be able to get it lined up the same way And then I'll have to yeah, I won't be able to keep the cuts lined up Man that came out really nice So this is the coconut tree wood And I was not expecting it to be Like it's kind of nice wood It's really dense I dropped a piece in the water and it sunk like a rock Um and when I was cutting these oh one thing is when I was cutting I was using three clamps to hold the saw kind of in position. It turns out one of the clamps I totally don't need it. I ended up not using it. It's the one that was like Kind of clamping the the whole saw part keeping it from tilting like forward and back But it doesn't seem to like it seems to stay really well. So I just have the clamp Keeping the whole thing from sliding and then the one clamp You know holding it up when I'm cutting horizontal and then when it's down It doesn't it only needs the one clamp to keep it from moving sideways And probably at some point I'll have some built-in thing where you know, I move it to the right spot and then you know Pull a handle or something lock it in place. I also need to make like little little marks along You know along the horizontal part of the saw so I can so I know how Like where I'm moving it how wide boards I'm cutting and everything the up and down is already very well measured because There's a wheel on the side That you know raises and lowers the whole thing and that wheel has spokes on it and I clip something to the spokes so for instance if I If I do it if I do a cut And then move down two spokes I get this thickness and then If I move down Four spokes that was this I'm pretty sure that one was a four spoke And uh, yeah, I think I just did two two and four spokes. These are four spokes So I guess at some point I'll figure out exactly what a two by four is like how many spokes per inch There are although I don't I don't really feel like I need to stick I don't know. Maybe I should stick to those measurements Although if I'm going to make two by fours, I'm going to make true two by fours So they're not going to match the store ones anyway. So I guess I can use whatever measurements I want Uh, imperial noodle units Otherwise known as inches or centimeters, whatever Anyway, oh these are these are some of the boards that I cut and they came out really really nice like the surface is Oh, it's like it doesn't have to be sanded at all. It's really really nice surface And uh, like look how pretty the The coconut tree wood is It's really nice These I believe are going to be for a doll house that my daughter was Is going to make she was kind of directing me on What sizes pieces I should make What sized pieces I should make anyway Uh Yeah, so for the first test of the lumber mill actually cutting something. Oh, so happy with it and um I can cut I can cut two inches deep No problem like just You know, obviously when the sun is out because it runs directly off solar power. So You know, I could I could cut the width of this Pretty quickly without without difficulty Something like this is about five inches wide It's actually just under it's almost five inches wide This I could do in two passes Or or three, but I can do it in two pretty pretty easily Um, I can do it in one pass, but I have to go real slow like the blade kind of seems to get bogged down but two passes Goes really well and this is almost the the widest board I can make Which I think is totally fine. I mean this kind of saw you can't cut the huge wide slabs So I can cut like a little bit over a five inch board So I don't know probably out to like there That much So, you know, I can cut a two by five and a quarter Or a five and a quarter by a five and a quarter whatever. Um, anyway, I'm super happy with it. I'm really happy with this So is this your new mustache? No, it smells really good. Oh, you're smelling it.  Actually when I was cutting this it smelled like oh, sorry I'll give you a piece of wood back. It smelled like like candy like cooking candy You know, like if you're making candy apples or something or caramel corn Not that I do that anymore because I don't really eat sugar anymore But I still remember the smell and when I was cutting it it totally smelled like Like cooking sugar Um, I guess the it's a coconut tree has a lot of sugar in it um Which would explain why the coconuts Are so delicious And the coconut water is so delicious. So delicious, right? All right. Well, I think I think I'm going to shut up now I'm hoping That my daughter got some good video of when I was cutting I'm going to have to go check that and hopefully I can go make a video right now Uh, there is another thing I still have to do to the saw I mean besides clean off the solar. Oh, it's raining right now The solar panels are getting kind of clean off. Jesus. Maybe I should go up there with a rag and some soap No, whatever. Anyway, I still have to put Like concrete circles under the the two track bars um pipes To you know to make sure the real level because right now Uh, as I'm rolling the thing Like they're not supported the whole way So the saw kind of dips down a little bit and goes back up and it gets to one end And it's you know, the ground's a little lower there So that the pipes tip back and the you know, I just have to it's not much I could still I could still cut pretty good cuts, but once I get that lined up, you know, really really good. It'll cut Even straighter than it already does which is already pretty straight
