Drive there is about 40 minutes. We're at the Nook's. I can't hear her talk. That's crazy. There are going to be like little study rooms, lounges. Good morning guys. It is May 23rd and it is a Tuesday morning. At noon I'm actually going to go meet some of my childhood friends and we're going to go to the Nook. I've never heard of it and I've never been but apparently they have like really yummy tater tots. Like that's their thing. And it's so weird that I've never heard of it. I looked it up online and it looked pretty trendy. So I think it would be like on an insider video or something like that. But I'm excited to try it and I'm also excited to get my butt out of bed early and get ready early and just get out of the house because today is a super rainy day and if I didn't make plans then I know I'd be in bed till like two and not have motivation to do anything. So I'm really glad I made plans. So my hair kind of looks a little insane right now but don't worry because I'm going to go out in the humidity in just a second and it's going to drop in two seconds. And sometimes I just like do this to kind of make them a little less curly, surely temple looking but other than that I kind of just keep it because I know they're going to fall throughout the day. So I'm all ready to go. I just found out that the place is like 41 minutes away so I need to get going and really quick I just wanted to show you guys the shirt. It's like a tunic, it's pretty long but it's from Express and I think it's like so flattering like oh my God. But the only thing is that I can't find my black bra so I'm wearing a nude one and I can't find my butterfly clip you know the thing that like pokes it back together so oh well my bra's going to be showing but let's see. So it is currently 1120. The drive there is about 40 minutes. Hopefully this drive goes fast. I feel like I never go downtown or anything without Ryan now so I hate driving like that far alone but I can do it, I got it. I'm so excited to see them. I think I'm just going to put on a rainy day playlist and jam out in the car. Hanamara! Ananya! Hey! Naomi, are you getting on your mirror now? And I'm cool. We're at the Nooks, the Nooks in Piedmont Park. I don't know, it was really scary getting here guys. I hit her car. I hit her car. And I was like, can we just stay in the car because we don't know who you hit. Oh my God. So we don't know who you hit. I just saw like the Cadillac symbol with Atlas's face. Yeah, we just don't know who this is. So this is Mirna and Nomi's sorority house last year. They're both an alpha fee. I feel like this looks familiar because Malavika's house is down there, right? A-K-O, we're about to pass A-K-O. Oh, okay. Oh yeah, yeah, I remember this. So now we're by Kappa SIG and Fiji also. Oh yeah. This is A-K-O, that's what's Malavika's store. Yeah, A-K-O. Yeah. So now look at A-K-O, look at 85, then look it out. Are you ready for this? So pretty. Uh-oh, here we go. This is Adie Pie and that's really alpha fee. And then that's alpha fee. Look at how huge it is. Wow, that's insane. And we're right by the stadium and we're gonna have- Oh my God, that's so close to the stadium.  It's gonna be fun for game day. So yeah, look at how huge it is. So we're gonna have like all these columns.   So look at how huge this is. This is like a mansion. That's like the picture. Wait, okay, so then. Wow. So that's crazy. They're gonna be like little study rooms, lounges. That's so crazy how close you are to the stadium though.  No. So like look at- It's gonna be really nice. That's so cool. And like the president house people will have their own rooms they want to share. Yeah. And like, it'll be really nice to hang out in. Yeah. So take it right here and then go back out. That's like a second Fiji. Sigma Nu. Wow, that's huge. The Adie Pie.  That looks like one in like a movie or something. Yeah. Doesn't it? I love them cause they're so serious about frats. Like the grounds and stuff. Yeah. Like the frat houses. That's crazy. Are they nice inside or gross? Yeah, they're nice inside. Like they get sticky during parties. But like they're all nice. Like Kappa Sigs really nice. Fiji's really nice. Uh-huh. Us. Bae does like kinda small but nice. That's small? Like in fact- Are you kidding me? As wide as open or something like that. Okay. I get it. Yeah. They're apartment complex. Scrambles. Yeah. It's really, really nice. Like look at this. It's 25 floors. Very nice. What floor do you live on? I live on the 9th floor. Ooh. This is like a hotel. Are you kidding me? Look at you. The kitchen is like so pretty. Oh my God. I'm gonna take your lunchbox. Oh my God. The view though. That's insane. How many, like which ones are all like student housing and stuff? Like that yellow one. The yellow one. And then I think this glass one, that's gonna be like an office building. Okay. That was like a good say. That's not. Okay. I think all the other ones- So that's the one with the balconies. That's like not student housing. It's just an apartment. Yeah, that's really pretty. It's like right above publics. I have friends who live there. That's a strip club. Cheetah. Cheetah's a strip club. Chew. But like the Atlantic, that's like a really nice apartment building too. Yeah. And then those are, but none of these are student like. Okay. Only student when there are these two. Like students obviously live in these. Yeah, yeah. Like predominantly students. Gotcha. These are all my canvases. That's so crazy. Yeah, I mean, it is kind of small, but like, I think my room was pretty much the same size, but yours is a nicer layout. Oh, that's so nice. Wow. And like so much light. Like all these windows. I love how much floor windows is like enough for you to have. Yeah. This is like a full window. That's insane. She just changed her furniture again. She changed her furniture like all the time. Wow, that's so cute. She does this to many of my windows. Wait, I actually like, wait, it's the same size as yours? It's a little smaller. Really? Dang, it looks so much bigger. Yeah, it's because of how she moves her furniture a lot. Wow, that's so nice. So cool. A little bit because he meant, so I just wanted to say hi. I actually just filmed a little clip because I wanted you guys to ask me UCF and recruitment questions. So I can do two separate Q and As like I did last summer because I know a lot of you guys have been asking. So that video will definitely be up by the time you watch this one. So if you guys have any questions about UCF, college, anything or recruitment or sororities or anything like that, then go click the link in the description box right now and go comment any questions. But first maybe just go watch the other two Q and As that I did on them last summer just so I won't get like any repetitive questions. But yeah, I'm really excited for those two Q and As because I love Q and As. Like they're just first of all, such a fun video to film and such an easy video to film. And you don't really have to think about it, you know? You can just like talk and I like talking. So right now I'm actually watching a graphic design class on Adobe Live. It's not live right now. It's actually replay. It was on this morning and I thought it was on at 9am. So I got up really, really early this morning to go watch it, but it was actually PST Pacific Standard Time. And like I don't know why I didn't think that. Because obviously everything's like based on PST. But I'm watching the replay now and they're just getting into like lettering and how they make like their handwriting into like vectors and stuff. I don't know. I'm like such a nerd. My biggest dream right now is to be a genius in Adobe. Like Adobe anything. Like that is a big, big goal, but that's a lifetime goal. And I'm slowly trying to teach myself the first Adobe app I kind of doubled with was Lightroom for my pictures and editing and stuff like that. And then I went into Photoshop because you can actually get like a bundle with Lightroom and Photoshop. I think it's like $10 a month, which isn't bad. But then I went ahead and purchased the whole Creative Suite. So it's $30 a month, which is pretty pricey. But I really want to learn more about like the whole Creative Suite. I mean, there's so much to learn, but I don't know. I just think it's really cool and I think it's a really good skill to have. And I know it's gonna take a really long time. I'm not expecting to see like fast results. So I actually probably will pause this and edit a vlog right now because I need to have another video go up today. I am so excited that I'm actually keeping up with this whole upload every day thing because I think I did it last summer, but I think I only did it for the last month of summer. So hopefully I can do it for a really long time this summer. We'll see. No promises, but I'm trying. I'm trying.


Okay, once again, I'm here with James, and we're just doing a little tech talk. And I'm going to let James do most of the talking, so go ahead, James. So, okay, Chris, I think we were talking about different data structures at one time. It was a really neat conversation. I thought we could talk about it a little bit for your channel. So I want to talk about just data structures in general, but maybe we'll talk about hash tables, actually. So let's try to talk about a situation, because it's easier to think about things in terms of an actual situation. Like, let's suppose you were writing a program that was going to keep track of maybe the number of times a particular IP address was fed through it, right? So you have a Python program or something, or maybe C program, and it has an input, and you can input IP addresses, and it would try to store them, and keep track of how many unique IP addresses, or the count of each unique IP addresses. So let's talk about how that might work, and we'll talk about how that might scale, and then we'll talk about hash tables. Do you want me to say how I would do that? Yeah, please, that'd be a great idea, actually. Okay, so I would basically just do a grep for that IP, and then type it into wc-l. And that would tell me how many times that line, that string has shown up in lines, as long as everything's on it. This is great, this is great. Okay, so you would do grep of, let's hit it one more time. I'd grep with the IP address, so let's say it was a text file, and had all these random IP addresses, and I wanted ip123, just to make sure. I would say cat that file into grep, and I would grep 123, and I'd pipe that into wc-l, and that would give me the line count. So grep would say only lines with 123 on it, and that would get the line count, and that would be the number, and I'd pipe that into wc-l. This is a great, this is the perfect example, because that's so horrible, and we can talk about why. This one of those things is probably good on small scale, but you're saying on a big scale, let's go. Because we're going to talk about it, we're going to talk about data structures, and why they're important. And you described how you do it in match, but this is very similar to how you might do it inside of a program. But let's just talk about what that might look like in C or Python. Instead of storing a file, let's just store it through a data structure like an array. Or a list. Or iterate through it. Or iterate through it. Even using your method, we can improve it a little bit already. So one thing you were saying is you would store each value every time it came in in the array.  So it might be better even just to, this is not still not a good way to do it, but it might be better to just store 1234 and then in another array say, oh that's my 100th time I've gotten that. So let's talk about how many IP addresses are possible. So we have 124, 255, 256, 256. Wow. I did this part out. 256 and you've got four of them. So it's 256 to the power of four. And you should put what that number is down below on your video. If I remember, it's a very big number. And so what happens when you have nearly that many IPs that have come in your program? How many checks are you going to have to make by the time you have a million IPs? And I sent you the millionth one a second time. How many checks do you have to make? A million, right? So in data instruction, O notation is what they call it in computer science. In O notation we say that scales linearly. It scales with N. As N gets bigger, like you said, for 10, for 20, for even 100, for maybe even 1,000 or maybe 100,000, that works really well. But how much, if it takes you a second to do 1,000 of them, or if it takes a second for you to do a million of them, it will take you 10 million. It should take 10 seconds. And that will increase linearly. So what's a different way to do this? And so there's this thing called a hash table. You're probably familiar with them. If you use dictionaries in Python, this is actually what a dictionary is. It's a hash table. It takes a key and a value. And so, for example... That's also similar to JSON. For a key and a value? Yeah. No, this is a good point. I mean, I've done it with dictionaries in Python, but I've only played with them a little bit. This is true. So JSON is just like an output string representation, and it could be of a hash table. Like if you said, I want to dump this hash table to a file in some way, a JSON string would probably be a very fair way to represent it. So JSON string is just arbitrarily a great way to store arbitrary data. But it's in a string not a hash table. It's a string representation of what could be a hash table, an object, an array, or any combination of those things. Obviously, my understanding I have no clue what a hash table is, that's why I'm drawing things out of here. So one example you do know, though, is you do know a dictionary. Dictionary is a hash table, right? Well, yeah, I know that it is. I don't actually understand it. Let's talk about what this will look like in C, though, because it'll be more detailed and my key addresses work great. So let's suppose we took those numbers, you know, 256, you know, 0 to 256, the four of them, and we computed it through 255. Yeah, yeah, okay, sorry. And what we did was we converted those four numbers into one number that represented that, right? That should be easy, because these are just ones and zeros. We've arbitrarily broken them up into four, but we could just make it one big number. Any combination of those four numbers right? This makes sense, okay? So we'll say that's the key, right? That's the unique key for that IP address, okay? So what we want to do is find a way that we can quickly figure out where on our array or our list it belongs. Or in your case, if it was a file, what line number would we expect to see it on? Okay, I think we actually let's use that file, because that's great. Let's pretend we use that file. But the file stores the unique ones, right? We won't store every time it comes in. Every time another one comes in, that's the same, we'll just increase the number next to it or something. Okay, so how do we know what line number to look at on? Well, so an easy way to do it, an arbitrary way to do it, is just say whatever that number is, okay, we'll say it's on that line number. So the only problem with that is it could be a really big number. And the IP example is a really simple example, it's going to be a very big number for a string. It's going to be a very big number. So what we would do is we would make an array, or let's suppose a line, or let's say a line example, we could cap it, we could say, well, we know we're never going to get more than a million IPs, even though we don't know that it goes from zero to a million, it's going to go way beyond that, but we know we'll never get more than a million unique ones. And if we do, we'll come up with something great that way. And what we'll do is we'll do modulus, if we were going to modulus before, and it's a little percent symbol every time you're using programming, right? It tells you the remainder. It tells you the remainder. So what we do is we have a list that goes up to a million and let's suppose we get the IP of a million and one, we run the modulus on it for the size of this file, which is a million lines, and it'll give us the number one. And that's where we store it in the first position. But wait, okay, the smart people watching the video are going to say, well, what do we do when we get one? Because then there's a problem. So what we actually do is when we get one, we look at the first position and we see, hey, something's already in the first position and it's not one. And we go to the next position and we put it there, okay, and there would be position two. And so then the next one might be two, and again we'd look at two, two million and one, right? That's a better one, the example. It's two million and one. We see the first position is already taken by one. The next position has already taken the first position was taken by a million and one. The next position was taken by one. We put it in the third position. And this way we can fill that up. Now, how many checks did I make to store the hardest one I've done so far? How many checks did I make? Three. Three. I've done three at this point, I guess, because I've only given you three. But you can see how you make a lot as time went on, and I'm getting very, very close to it very quickly. Sure, sure, yeah. Mine's gripping through the file for each. Right, right, right. On average, for a million spaces, on average you'd look at a half a million. For mine, we would say that mine scales constant, not linear. So it doesn't matter, the beautiful part of a trillion, mine scales very well. The only time mine doesn't scale well is if I didn't leave enough room, right? If I didn't put things in the right places, right? If I didn't leave enough space, these are called hash collisions. When two things occupy the same cell for the first try, and I have to look at the next one, these are called hash collisions. And if I don't manage that well, this is going to be really bad. It's going to start to become bad. Of course, that's worse, it's still only going to be as bad as yours. There's going to be a constant time. There's even another part of mine that I didn't even mention. If I need to figure out certain IPs, if I had a long list of IPs, I'd have to sort unique those and then iterate through them. Although I'm not just grep in file, I also have to sort the original list that I'm looking for where you're kind of making a database so you already know what you're looking for. Right, so in your example, and I want to make sure I don't take something you have to do every time you're trying to find something of interest. That might not be an ideal thing to do, it's sorting. Sorting doesn't necessarily scale well, either, and if you have to do it every time you have a question, it's not typically a good idea. The hash table is always going to find you a good point to go no matter how big that hash table gets. You're going to always be able to look it up. So when you want to get an account, you're just going to then, again, use that key especially with that account. Let's just talk real quick, because I know the file was a great example, but let's just talk about what that might look like. I can see we would allocate an array of certain size. And then we would modulus around that array. And that array would basically essentially have to store a key and a value. It probably needs some type or some strut that would store both the key and the value or the list of values. It might be the count, or it might be the time it came in, whatever we decided to do. So let me say this. I'm still a little lost. Okay, great. Let's end this video here. If you think in our next talk, maybe you can draw something out. Yeah, let's do a little trick on the board. Great. So thank you for watching. Please visit vilt.com. That's Chris Decay. There should be a link in the description. Getting a visual in the next video. Thanks again.


Hoi Hoi and welcome to the channel! I thought I'd give you guys an update. You guys can see that hole is still there in the roof. I've actually still living out of the dining room for the moment. You can see all sorts of fun stuff up here. This is where I sleep. Stuff keeps falling up from top of it. You can see little bits. It's come down from up there. But I'm doing this video. This is a sponsored video, believe it or not. You'd be surprised how this could possibly be a sponsored video starting this way. But I was going through the stuff that survived and look what I found. Escape from Site-19! And I actually found that and I've still got my Escape from Site-19 stuff. But this is the new additional security protocols from the Escape from Site-19.  If you enjoy SCP content and want to try a high quality board game based on the SCP universe, Escape from Site-19 is far and away the way to go. In fact, it may be the only way to go. Maybe not, who knows. They've released an additional security protocols pack that makes the game even more fun and a little bit harder. You can play as two new characters, try a new 001, and there are brand new cards to play in the game itself. If you've never had a chance to play before, I highly suggest getting the game. I did a review on my channel a little while back and you can go back to look at that. There'll be a link to that in the description as well. You can use the code ASPCRIS to get 15% off of your total order. If you want to get the new additional security protocols or if you want to get the original Escape from Site-19 game, your total order can get 15% off with that code ASPCRIS. One word. It'll also be in the description. But use that and until the end of November, you can use it. I'm sorry, let's get the date right because who knows when you're watching this video. Until the end of November 2022, you can use that code to get 15% off. Now, let's finally get into the dank memes. This one is by Zeal before you... I'll have to censor that. It's too early. No, it's not that early in the video. We did a whole advert for this. It's fine. Before you shitpost here, remember SCP-504 as a Reddit account. Could you imagine how horrifying and terrifying, to be honest with you, it would be to make a bad joke on the internet and think everything's fine and then like a day and a half later, you just get a bullet tomato in your face. Or maybe not that long, but you know, who knows how long it takes to get there, but they just come for you. Don't make a bad joke. The tomatoes are coming. This is a shoulder meme. Fuckers stole my goddamn... There's a lot of cursing in these.   Oh, man. I love the...  This is pretty interesting because they take everything. It's not theirs to take. What are they doing? This one is by Bear Dead Danger. Bearded Danger? Bear Dead Danger. I'll put the name on the screen. It's all one word, so I read Bear Dead Danger instead of Bearded Danger. Even though that's not useful dead, but either way, the devices would have gotten us killed. Microsoft military smart goggles failed 406 elements during recent tests. Internal army report says, first time. Yeah, no, every time I see something like this, it always makes me go, hmm, well, now that's not that idea is going to see me less original than it did before. Are we the bad guys? Depends on the context. Context, it's a yes or no question. No, it's very complex and completely complicated, yes or no question. It's not a yes or no question because the... Let's equivocate a little bit. What does it mean to be the bad guys? Who are the good guys? Is it possible that the good guys could be bad for the world and the bad guys could be good for the world? Oh, this one is by Ender Dragon Crafter 01, but that is the kind of thing that somebody would say if they were a supervillain, and I promise you I'm not a supervillain, which is also what someone would say if they were a supervillain. Listen, I'm not going to be able to convince you that I'm not a supervillain. You're just going to have to take it on faith, but regardless, what is the true nature of evil guys? If you're trying to help the world and you have to do a little bit of evil to get there, is that really so bad? Yeah, it's bad. This is Fanboy X-27's meme. Dr. Clef Hitler, gentlemen. I still, I'm, you know, I really do like the fact that I have a tail over plus 500 even, and I'd be like, even if it's a silly tale about Dr. Clef, Dr. Brighton, Dr. Sumerian going to kill Hitler, and Dr. Clef gets there first.  I like, that I like stuff that has fun and it has fun. There's nothing wrong with being a little, having a little bit of fun on the SCP wiki, and I always love it when memes are made of my stuff, that too, that's always enjoyable. Speaking of Raptor Squadron here, I'll never forgive Carl. Carl. Oh, man. And the fun part about that article, I was actually going to write a Halloween tale for Halloween Con based on this, but I decided not to, mainly because I couldn't get my hands, I couldn't get my hands around the horror. It's just not my style.   Because then the suffering would end. What did he do? And people always ask, like, what did Carl do? And I'm like, Carl knows what he did. He earned it. Old staff, the intern who just saw an eldritch being beyond human comprehension. This is a summer foxes meme. I mean, yeah, it is one of those things is like, how does new, how do new staff deal with these kinds of things? And this is, I guess, the old staff just kind of have to go first time. The first time meme. I mean, that's, that's what we're going through. And that's the last meme, actually. So yeah, thank you very much for watching. I will probably be doing a special video next week based on a project that I'm going to have to get your help with in one way or the other. But in the meantime, if you liked the video, hit the subscribe button and hit the notification bell next to that so you're notified when I upload new videos. And then head on over to patreon.com forward slash decimarian and pledge at any level like everybody here on the screen already has, including Sinjeriki and Christina Amos who have both pledged $100 and are seriously helping me out right now.  Nothing is solved. Things are just in a hole. I managed to raise just enough money to get things stable, right, but not fixed. So I have a solution going forward, but I want to work on making a few plans first so that I'm not just randomly asking for an amount of money and then being like a certain amount, you know, I want to get the exact budgeting done before I ask for something because I need a private recording space. I just so happened to luck out that everybody left the house just now. And I was like, I got rushed and do this recording. I'm stuck in the middle of a house in a dining room. It's just, it's impossible. And it's, I would love to get back to a regular Tuesday, Thursday schedule, but it seems impossible right now. I'm trying to get at least one video out of week. But the scheduling is messed up. I know I've been rambling. It's a bit of day. It's been a week. I've got, but here we are. Thank you for letting me know that I'm not alone out here and we will see you. I will see you again. I should say on next week sometime.


I got what you need right here. This is 200-year-old abstinence. If you drink too much of it, it's gonna have your hallucinates. So it's been five years since this group of friends has been together, but now it's time to leak up again. My name is Brennan Keith-Avery and this is just my opinion. Girls Trip, Girls Trip, Girls Trip is the latest movie that is surfing around the movie theaters starring an all-black cast of women. We got Queen Latifa, Regina Hall, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Tiffany Haddish. And to be honest with you, when I first saw the trailer for this movie, I wasn't that turned on. I was just kind of like, you know, hey, what's going on? I don't like, you know, these women being portrayed this way. But when I started seeing more and more, you know, marketing material, I did become on board. I am a fan of all four of these women, even with Queen Latifa and Jada Pinkett Smith dating all the way back to set it off. I think that movie came out in like mid-90s. I can't remember exactly, but you know, I love them. You know, I used to watch Queen Latifa on, I'm about to say a living color. Not a living, not a living color, but a living single. Real big fan of Jada Pinkett Smith. Tiffany Haddish, she's new to me. I have seen some of her stand up before and she was funny. And I will get to her role especially here in a bit. And Regina Hall, I love her. She was, she's been in like the scary movie franchise. She was in the best man that came out of 1999. And that's also who is directing this movie. Malcolm D. Lee. Black Guy, he, you know, pretty much directs everything Black. One movie that he did last year that I was a fan of, what Ice Cube was, Barbershop 3 or Barbershop the Next Cut. I really did enjoy that. He also did, like I said, the best man. He did Undercover Brother, Soul Man, Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins, The Best Man Holiday, Roll Bounce. He also did a few episodes that everybody hates Chris. So, you know, he's been working in this industry for a while and, you know, he knows what he's doing. And overall what this movie is about is, like I said in my intro, is that there's four friends.   I miss my girls. You know, we need to have a great weekend of fun to catch up and reminisce all the crazy things that we did in the past. And as far as that's concerned in the past, I like how the movie gave us a lot of flashbacks, different points in the life coming up through grade school and college just to show how powerful and strong their bond really was. As far as the characters are concerned, I'm not going to name them by their movie names. I'm just going to name them by their real names. So I'm just going to be like Sanjada, Tiffany, Regina, and Queen or Queen Latifah. And my favorite character out of the whole bunch was Queen Latifah's character.  What I liked, what I liked about it was is they said that when you are beefing with your friends, sometimes it's resolved and sometimes it isn't resolved. And, you know, sometimes if it is resolved, you know, people are lying to each other and they're just, you know, playing patty cake just to kind of pass the time, but they really don't mean it. They're not really sincere. You know, that's not the case with Queen Latifah. She was one of those friends that's going to be real with you all the time 100% no matter what.   You know, she was a true friend and she cared about her girls.  And that is the relationship dynamic between her character and Regina Haas character. And I really like that. Jetta Pinkett's character, you know, she was kind of uptight, you know, and we all have people like that in our group that are kind of stuck up and, you know, just uptight and just like, dude, relax. You want to have a good time.  So, you know, yeah, she really does need this. And Tiffany Haddish's character, I'm still going to get to that in just one moment. For the most part, I did like all the characters going over to Regina Haas character. Well, no, I don't want to talk about that right now. Something I do want to talk about is something else with the story and the whole moral, the moral behind the whole story is, is just kind of being yourself.  You know, sometimes a lot of people, not sometimes, a lot of times people are faking in the world like they have it all and have it all figured out in their life are just perfect. And are you killing yourself on the inside? You know, don't do that.  You know, I know it can be, you know, change can be scary, but sometimes change is necessary. And one of the characters in this movie, well, Regina's character in this movie, that's something that she had to go through and accomplish or whatever, you know, she had to make to the next level. And that was just something that she really did struggle with. And I liked it because I know a lot of people in the real world that are going through what she's going through. And also, I also would have liked if they would have had, it was for a woman, also would have liked, I'm not, you know, hating on the movie for this, but I would have appreciated if at least one of the women out of the four had a successful relationship. But none of them did. Tiffany Hatters, his character, she was, you know, acting over the top extra extra promiscuous. Jetta Pinkett was divorced. Regina Hall was having problems with her relationship. And I believe Queen Latifah was single. On a positive note, all of them, you know, were very successful with their jobs and careers and had the rival's lives that way. But I would have appreciated if one of them would have been married. Something else about the movie that I want to talk about, and there is a lot of controversy about this in the black community, at least is, you know, the marketing behind this. And I will say that the movie is much better than the way it is marketed. If you look at the poster, which I'm throwing up right now, you know, it doesn't give, you know, the woman a good look.   That's normal. If they, you know, if that wasn't the case, none of us would be here.  No, that's normal. But I do have a problem.  I mean, they did that in other movies, they did that in Rough Night. They had one character going around talking about, yeah, we're gonna be swimming in dick. I mean, so, you know, I'm not trying to be a stickler, but one character in particular, that is Tiffany Haddish's character, I felt that they just took it too far to where it just became ridiculous and embarrassing and disgusting. I did not like her character at all. Tiffany Haddish, I haven't seen much of her work. She was in the car marker show, which got canceled. But I also did see some of her skin that stand up, and she was funny. But in this movie right here, I could not stand her. I hated her character.  It was just completely unrealistic. And I actually got into an argument with one of my friends about this, and she got mad and actually hung up on my face. And I, you know, I really didn't appreciate that because, you know, she was so passionate. She was like, Hey, did you just not like her character? Or did you just not like her character? Because she was a black woman, you know, being portrayed that way. And I actually said both.  And yes, that is true. But I like realistic characters. And I know I like unrealistic and over the top characters too, but it has to fit within the context of the film. And her character did not do that fit into the context of this film. And now I want to tell you why this is a comedy. Yes, for the most part. But it's not like a brice made stepbrothers level of comedy like that.   And no matter what group you are in, a lot of women go through that and it's like, damn, you know, what else do I do? Do I just want to destroy my family and throw everything away that I work hard for? No, that was like the true core plot point in this movie. And it was serious. And I had some funny moments. But then when you have a caricature, like Tiffany Haddish in this movie, it just kind of throws the whole thing off balance. I mean, there was one scene where she was bragging about having an STD.   As you see in the trailers, you see that Jada Pinkett's character got stuck in the middle and then she urinated on the whole crowd. That was funny.  It was funny in the trailer and it was funny in the movie. Everybody was laughing, you know, that's embarrassing.  That was very funny. What you don't see in the trailers will happen in the movie is right after that Tiffany Haddish's character. She was next up. So she jumps on the rope to and swings across and she knocks Jada Pinkett over to the other side.  Who the f does that? Okay, this is the type of character that Tiffany had. And I didn't like that.  So it's like, dude, what are you doing? I mean, and my friend was like, you know, like over the top characters that are acting fun and she was the comic relief. But some of the things that she was not doing, some of the things that she was doing, it was just not funny at all. I didn't like it. It was completely over exaggerated. And like this wasn't like this wasn't a movie like a 40 year old virgin or stepbrothers where the whole movie is an exaggerated comedy. No, so we can fit things like they didn't know. This was a more serious comedy.  Now, there's nothing wrong with that.  And I'll tell you why another movie where it was a predominantly black ass, I believe it was to complete that game with Vivica Fox that came out either in the early 2000s or the late 90s. Monique, let me look this up real quick because I just want to make sure was a cursor in. Okay, I, you know, because I want to give you an example of a movie to work, it can't work. And in the movie tour, it can work. Two can play that game. I just want to make sure I'm looking up the right movie because, you know, there was a lot of is she in this Monique? Yes. Okay, this is the movie. And soon it can play that game. Monique's character in that movie was over sexualized.  It was realistic in that movie. I remember it was on scene.  Funny, I laughed in that movie, you know, I agree, I don't know, I'm saying I agree with her, but I liked her character in that movie. There was nothing wrong with her in that movie. She was talking about sex the whole time. And that's perfectly fine. Women want to have sex that's realistic.  That is a perfect example of a over sexualized character that worked in the movie. But the way they did it, the way they did it in Girls Trip with Tiffany Haddish's character, it was just crazy over the top, just dumb, like nobody in the real world acts like that. I mean, just it was, it was embarrassing and I didn't like it. And I just thought it was too much just just too much. It just didn't make any sense. But so her jokes didn't work in the film. All the other jokes did. There was one scene that you see in the trailers where they get real intoxicated and they're hallucinating. And I laughed about that. I laughed to the whole scene. It was very funny to me. I was chuckling back and forth just like everybody else was in the theater. And you know, all the other jokes they landed. It was funny. I did appreciate all of them. But Tiffany Haddish's role, I just could not get down with that. Overall, with the story, I did like it.  And you know, I really liked the camaraderie between the women that had, you know, they got along, they got to fight. But at the end of the day, they were down for each other. And I really did appreciate that. If I had to give this movie a rating out of a one out of 10, I would give it a seven out of 10. Yes, a seven out of 10. But guys, that's just my opinion. What did you think about Girls Trip? Or have you seen it? Do you want to see it? Do you not want to see it? Have I turned you on? Have I turned you off? Do you agree with me or do you disagree with me? Let me know in the comment section below. Let's get this conversation going and keep it flowing.

And also, guys, it's Friday right there, and we are in the midst of Comic Con. And tomorrow, I cannot wait for the Black Panther trailer to be released. I hope a new one is being released with new footage of course. Back in June 9th, doing Game 4 of the NBA Finals, that's when they surprised us and gave us that teaser trailer. And I was a super duper ecstatic and excited for this movie. It is my most anticipated movie in life. And if the opportunity presents itself, I would love to be on the red carpet with all the stars. During February of next year, when it comes out, I love Black Panther. I love Marvel. I love comics. I'm a Black Iron Man movie comes out in Black History Moon. So if I could be on the red carpet with all the stars, that would just be an epic dream come true for me. Well, if I'm on the side with fans, that's fine as well. But I'd rather be on the red actual red carpet. This is a long shot. Yeah. But hey, you know, I'm going for it and you can help me get there by sharing this video 1000 times. And guys, I just want to thank you again for tuning in for my opinion slash review for girls trip. And before you go, don't forget that my name is Brennan Keith Avery. And that's just my opinion. Peace.


Mapping in QGIS, setting a map projection. Perhaps you are starting a new QGIS project and know you will be working with data from a specific region. You may want to change the coordinate system to ensure you are working with the most accurate representation of the area. To change the projection of your map, click on the current coordinate system in the bottom right corner. You can search for your desired coordinate system in the search bar, or use the drop-down arrows under pre-defined coordinate reference system to scroll through the available geographic and projected coordinate systems. Once you have found your desired coordinate system, click on it, select Apply, and click on OK. You may receive a pop-up window asking which transformation you would like to apply. Select your desired transformation and click OK. All layers that you add to your map will now be projected on the fly to your desired coordinate system.

Hey everyone, welcome to theCUBE's coverage of the International Women's Showcase for 2022. I'm your host, Lisa Martin. I'm pleased to welcome Nancy Wong, the general manager of data protection and governance at AWS to the program. Nancy, it's great to have you. Thanks so much for having me, Lisa. And I really hope that this is hopefully the last year that we'll be celebrating International Women's Day all virtually. I agree, I agree. Well, we're going in that right direction globally. So let's cross our fingers. Talk to me a little bit about your role at AWS and what you do there. Sure. So as a jam of AWS data protection and governance, a lot of, we tackle quite a few problems that are biggest customers face, right? When they think about how do I manage my data, right? Especially in this digital world. And speaking of the pandemic, how much data has been generated by consumers, by devices, by systems, right? And servers, how do you protect all of that data? Especially we hear about cyber crime, cyber attacks, data breaches, it's really important to make sure that all of our customers have a coherent strategy around not just management, right? But also protection and really how you govern your data, right? And there's just so many awesome conversations that my team and I have had lately with CISOs or Chief Technology Officers on this topic as it evolves. Data protection is so critical. It's one of my favorite topics to talk about cybersecurity as well. Talk to me about what it means though if we keep this at a bit of a different level to be an operator within the big ecosystem that is AWS. Yeah, and that's actually one of the favorite aspects of my role, right? Which is, I get to innovate every day on behalf of my customers. So for example, I love having one-to-one dialogues, love having architecture conversations where we brainstorm, right? Those type of conversations help inform how we deliver and develop products. And so in an operator role, right? For the women in the audience today is it really gives you that perspective into not just how, what type of products do you want to build that delight your customers but also from an engineering, right? And a bottom line perspective of, well, how do you make this happen, right? How do you fund this? And how do you plan out your development milestones? What are, tell me a little bit about your background and then what makes women in technology such an important initiative for you to stand behind? Absolutely. So I'm so proud today to see that the number of women or the percentage of women enrolled at engineering curriculums just continue to rise, right? And especially as someone who went through an engineering degree in her undergraduate studies, that was not always the case. It's, so oftentimes, you know, I would look around the classroom and be the only woman on the lab bench or only woman in a CS classroom. And so when you have roles in tech specifically that require an undergraduate degree in computer science or a degree in engineering, that helps to, that only serves to really reduce the population of eligible candidates, right? Who then, if you look at that pool of eligible candidates, who then you can invest and accelerate through the career ladder to become leaders in tech, well, that's where you may end up with a representation issue, right? And that's why we have, for example, so few women leaders in tech that we can look up to as role models. And that's really the problem or the gap that I'm very passionate about solving. And also Lisa, I'm really excited to tell you a little bit more about advancing women in tech, which is a 501st and three nonprofit organization that I started to tackle this exact problem. Talk to me about that because it's one of the things that you bring up is, we always say when we're having conversations like this, we can't be what we can't see. We need to be able to see those female leaders to your point, there aren't a ton in comparison to the male leaders. So talk to me about advancing women in technology, why you founded this and what you guys are accomplishing. Absolutely. So it's been such a personal journey as well, just starting this organization called Advancing Women Tech because I started it in 2017. So when I really was just starting out as a product manager, I was at another big tech company at the time. And what I really realized is looking around. I had so many, for example, bosses, managers, peer leaders who are really invested in growing me as a product manager and growing my tech and career. And this is right after I'd made the transition from the federal government into big tech. With that said though, looking around, there weren't that many women tech leaders that I could look up to or get coffee or just have a mentoring conversation. And quickly I realized, well, it's not so much that women can't do it. It's a fact that we're not advancing enough women into leadership roles. And so really we have to look at why that is. And we, from a personal perspective, one contribution towards that angle is upskilling. So if you think about what skills one needs as one climbs a career ladder, whether that's your first people management role or your first manager or manager's role or obviously for bigger leaders when they start managing thousands, tens of thousands of individuals, well, all of that requires different skills. And so learning those skills about how to manage people, how to motivate your teams effectively is super, super important. And of course on the other side, and one that I near and dear to me is that of mentorship and executive sponsorship because you can have all the skills in the world, right? And especially with digital learning and AWIT is very involved with Coursera and AWS and producing and making those resources readily available and accessible. Well, if you don't have those opportunities, if you don't have mentors and sponsors who are willing to push you or give you a step ladder to those roles, well, you're still not going to get there, right? And so that's why actually, if you look at the AWIT mission, it's really those two pillars working very closely together to help advance women into leadership roles. The idea of mentorship and sponsorship is so critical. I think a lot of people don't understand the difference between a mentor and a sponsor. How do you define that difference and how do you bring them into the organization so that they can be mentors and sponsors? Yeah, absolutely. And there's, these two terms are often used today so interchangeably that I do get a lot of questions around, well, what is the difference, right? And how does, let's say a mentor become a sponsor? So maybe just taking a few steps back, right? When you have, let's say questions around compensation or, hey, I have some job offers, which ones do I consider? And you ask someone a question or advice, well, that person's likely your mentor, right? And typically a mentor is someone who you can ask those questions on a repeated basis who's very accessible to you. Well, a sponsor takes that a few steps forward in the sense that they are sponsoring you into a role or into a project or initiative that you on your own may not be able to achieve. And by doing so, I think what's really differentiates a sponsor from a mentor is that the sponsor will actually put their own reputation online, right? They're using their own political capital in order to make sure that you get into that role, you get into that room, right? And that's why it's so key, for example, especially if you have that relationship already with a person who's your mentor, you're able to ask questions or advice from to convert them into a sponsor so that you can accelerate your career. Great definition description and great recommendations for converting mentors to sponsors. You know, I only learned the difference about a mentor and a sponsor a few years ago at another Women in Tech event that I was hosting. And I thought it's brilliant, it makes perfect sense. We need more people to understand the difference, the synergies and how to promote mentors to sponsors. Talk to me now about advancing women in tech plus the power of AWS. How are they helping this nonprofit to really accelerate? Sure, so from an organization perspective, right? There's many women, for example, across the tech companies who are part of advancing women in tech. Obviously Amazon, of course, as an employee has a very large community within who's part of AWIT. But we also have members across the tech industry from startups to VC firms to, of course, Google, Microsoft and Netflix, you name it. With that said, you know, what AWS has done with AWIT is actually very special in the sense that if you go to the Coursera platform, Coursera.org-class-AWIT or AWIT, you can see our two Coursera specializations, four courses each that go through the real-world product management fundamentals or the business side, the technical skills and even interviewing for mid-career product management roles. And the second specialization, which I'm super excited to share today, is actually geared towards getting folks ramped up and prepared to successfully pass the cloud practitioners exam, which is one of the industry recognized standards about understanding the AWS cloud and being functional in the AWS cloud. This summer, of course, and I'm sharing kind of a sneak peek announcement that I will be making tomorrow with the University of Pennsylvania, is that we're kicking off a program for the Masters of CIS program where the computer information systems masters students to actually go through this Coursera specialization, which is produced by AWIT, sponsored by AWS and AWS training and certifications has so generously donated exam vouchers for these students so that they can then go on and be certified in the AWS cloud. So that's one just really cool collaboration that we are doing between AWS and AWIT to get more qualified folks in the door, in tech jobs and hopefully at jobs in AWS. That's a great collaboration. What are some of the goals in terms of metrics, the number of women that you want to get into the program and complete the program? What are some of those on your radar? Absolutely. So one of the reasons, of course, that the Masters of CIS program that University of Pennsylvania caught my eye, notwithstanding I graduated from there, but also that just the statistics of women enrolled. So what's really notable about this program is it's entirely online, which as a university creating a master's degree fully online, well, it takes a ton of resources from the university, from the faculty. And what's really special about these students is that they're already full-time adult professionals, which means that they're working a full-time job, they might be taking care of family obligations, and they're still finding time to advance themselves, to acquire a master's degree in CIS. And best of all, 42% of these students are women, right? And so that's a number that is multiples of what we're finding in engineering curriculum today. And so my theory is, well, if you go to a student population that is over 40%, 42 to be exact, percent women, and enable these women to be certified in AWS cloud to have direct interview prep and mentorship from AWS software development leaders, well, that greatly increases their chances of getting a full-time role at AWS, which then we can help them advance their careers to further and further roles in software development. So is this curriculum also open to women who aren't currently in tech, to be able to open the door for them to get into tech and STEM fields? Absolutely. And so in my bad and remiss in mentioning, which is students of this master's in CIS program are actually students not from tech already. So they're not in the tech field, and they did not have a degree in CIS or even engineering as part of their undergraduate studies. So it's truly folks who are outside of tech that are 42% women that were getting into the tech industry with this collaboration between AWS, AWIT, and the University of Pennsylvania. That's outstanding to get them in from completely different fields into tech. How do you help women have the confidence to say, I want to try this, because if we think about every company today as a tech company, it's a data company. It has to be to be competitive. The pandemic taught us that everything we're able to do online and digitally, for example, but how do you help women get the confidence to say, okay, I'm going to go from a completely different field into tech? Absolutely. So if we define tech of course as big tech or now the main companies, right? I myself made that transition, which is why it is a topic near and dear to me because I can personally speak to my journey because I didn't start my career out in tech, right? Yes, I studied engineering, but with that said, my first full-time job out of college was with the federal government because I wanted to go and build healthdata.gov, right? Which gave folks a lot of access to the healthcare data droves, right? That existed within the US government, the CMS, NIH, CDC, so on and so forth. But that was quite a big change from then taking a product management job at Google, right? And so how did I make that change? Well, a lot of it came from the mentors that I had, right? What I call my personal board of directors who gave me that confidence. And sure, I mean, even today, I still have imposter syndrome where I think, am I good enough, right? Should I be leading this organization, right? Of data protection and governance, but I think what it boils down to is inner confidence, right? And goes back to those two pillars of having the right skills and also the right mentors and sponsors who are willing to help sponsor you into those opportunities and help sponsor you to success. Absolutely. Great advice and recommendations. Thanks for sharing your background, Nancy. It's outstanding to see where you started, to where you are now and also to what you're enabling for so many other females to get into tech with the AWIT program combined with AWS and UPenn. Exciting stuff. Can't wait to talk to you next year to see where you guys go from here. Absolutely, Lisa. And what I'm really looking forward to sharing with you next year is the personal testimonials of other women who have gone through the AWIT, the AWS, the UPenn program and have gotten their tech jobs and also promotions. That sounds like a great thing to look forward to. I'm looking forward to that. Nancy, thanks so much for your time and the insight that you shared. Thanks so much for having me, Lisa. My pleasure. For Nancy Wong, I'm Lisa Martin. You're watching theCUBE's coverage of the International Women's Showcase 2022.


Good morning y'all, welcome to a new vlog. My name is Sonali and today is surgery day it is September 20th. And if you guys didn't know already I've been posting quite a lot about it but I'm getting a breast reduction. I am just so excited to get it over with. I don't even feel that nervous yet which is kind of weird cause this is like the biggest surgery I've ever gotten but maybe that's why cause I don't really know what to expect even though they like watch me through all the pre-op post-op instructions but they did tell me to wear a dark colored button up and then I just have my Lou Lemon like cozy pants on I swear they just like look like surgery pants so I put them on and then I braided my hair because I just brushed it I just wanted it to be super manageable just because I won't be able to brush it probably. I also just showered with antibacterial soap and I wasn't allowed to put deodorant or cream or perfume, anything like that on. So we're gonna head to the office I'm getting it done with Dr. Cheeky Obie at Westlake Dermatology and let's go. How do you feel? Nervous for you a little. Why? How do you feel? Excited. Thank you. Anxious. I'm excited to say I wouldn't want to do this. I know, that's true actually. Well, God gave me- I can use also for you but I didn't want to say this. But you know what I'm saying. I'm excited to hear you feel better. Yes, me too. All right, let's go mama. Okay, bye. Okay, okay, bye. Okay, love you too. Test, one, two, three, test. Hi Senali, how are you? Just gonna take down information about how to care about you. Okay, you look good. Everything looks good. It went by so fast. Okay, you can keep sleeping. I've done cry before but I want to cry now. Why? That's okay, it's normal. Remember when we talked about that? Some people cry when they wake up. Nice holder, it's normal. It doesn't even hurt, I just needed to cry, I think. Ryan's waiting outside. You're good. She can sit in the front. Hi, it looks really good. Surgery was like so fast. Dead surgery in my mind, just my babes are sore. It's $100. How do you feel? Gonna be in my new home for the next week. Yeah, you got cheez-its. I don't like them. You don't like cheez-its? No. Oh, so I'll get this movie. I wish it would be good. What is the surgery? They asked me if I had any animals and they're like, no animals in bed. And we bathe Stofi just for this so she can sleep with me all week. So how'd you feel going in? To the surgery center? Mm-hmm, you noticed? I didn't like that, I saw that. Saw what?  I was like, can't you just wheelchair me in?  So that was kind of scary but I was really like waiting for them to put me under. It took a while. They were filling all the paperwork out. I was like, what am I gonna get to go to sleep? And then... You just woke up the next thing and then you were in the car? What? Yeah, well... It was really fast. At least in my lines. So now you have to say it's sleeping up or sleep sitting up. Just like now all my socks are laying down. You want to show them your drainage? Just as little drains on both sides. We have to log how much drainage I have. Right. You're already working? Thank you. Crazy? I've never stopped. What are you working? I wanted to add more video today. For my surgery and I didn't have time. I just went by too fast so... How are you feeling? Crazy? What's wrong with you? What? I don't think you ever have a pain, do you? No. I think you just cry so much more normally that you don't have it in you when you actually do hurt. Wait, our time pain medications? Yeah, but still I'm not so worried out for like days. Yeah. It's day two of recovery and we are headed out to go to my day after post-op. But they did put two drains on me. I don't know if I should show it because there's blood in there.  Like the tape was just really itchy and it still is. I slept kind of like propped up too. Hopefully they can like take all this stuff off and like show me. I don't know if I really want to see you, but it'd be interesting. Bandage is off and I got to see them and they're like really small, but like good. I don't know. I just took like a random little picture so I wasn't able to see it very well. But this is so weird. These are like my seventh grade boobs or something like that. Maybe sixth grade as well. I'm not really having any pain. It's just those band-aids are really itchy. These tubes, these drains are kind of itchy. And then I'm just like sore right here. Hello, how are you? How are you? Hey, mom today. I think I was here yesterday. Yes, I was here yesterday. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. You did a great job. Oh, good. Yeah, good. It looks good. Awesome. All right. You did great yesterday. Are we going to the front? And let's take a look. Thank you. Yes, you look great. Yeah, perfect. I think the size is going to be awesome for you. You're fantastic. The clothes look good. Tiny drains. I like to use the drains. Very small, low-profile drains. The reason I use these is because in a lot of patients, it gets fluid out of the cerebral site. You see, your tissues can heal quickly. It's enough against each other a little bit more quickly. So that's basically it. I would do everything else. I know I'm supposed to be wearing those soft bras for a while. Am I not allowed to go bra-less? Yes, but yeah. I'll wait until at least a couple of weeks, which I'll do in a few weeks. That thing's healed. Three weeks. Yeah, at least. Because if you don't do that, then your breast tissues are settled and they can stretch the skin more than they are, too. OK. I got to see the shape of my boobs, and it's just wild to even think that there was that high up slash like that small. But I did end up feeling really lightheaded all of a sudden. I don't know why. I think we think it's the pain medication that I took earlier this morning. But they lifted the chair, and they took my blood pressure again, and it was better after I ate something. But yeah, I definitely did feel like I was going to pass out a little bit. But now I'm fine. I'm just really tired. So I think I'm going to take it out, watch some YouTube videos, and just sleep the rest of the day. What are you making, Mama? What am I making? It's called rava vati. It's made with cream of wheat, or they call it suji. Or what's another? Rava. It's semolina. It's the same thing you use with pasta. So couscous, same thing. Cut up onions, cilantro, green chilies, and mix it with the salt. And add some of this. And mix it up. Add water. Mix it up. Let the suji expand. And then you just press it into a hot pan, and you cook it. Yummy. Is this South or North Indian food? South Indian. And we're South Indian? Yes. It's called rava roti. And it's so good when they pat on the butter. Thank you, Mama. This day is going so slow. It's only like 1 30 PM. And I just want to get in bed and go to sleep so the days can go faster. But we just took my medicine. I did pain medicine and an antibiotic, and I'm watching the D'Amelio show. I just have a lot of YouTube videos to catch up on. So after the show, I'm going to watch some YouTube and maybe play on my computer, but I don't really want to. I do need to look for an outfit for ACL, but I don't know what size I am. This whole thing, because I usually get larges in size 10s, but I don't know if I would be able to go down to a medium. So maybe I'll just wait until one week post-op and see what bra size I am, but so exciting. It's Wednesday, so it's day two after surgery. And I don't know what's wrong with my throat. It does not want to speak, so I do want to open some of these packages up just because I don't have anything else to do. These are the zip-up bras for my breast reduction surgery. They sent me home with like one bra. And as you can see, little Amazon shopping. This is a sweats set, sweats. I got from Amazon too. Just like a little cute green thing. I got some goodies from Gorayana. They're like my favorite jewelry brand, and I always wear like their earrings, their necklaces. It's most always from Gorayana. I have not really changed since my surgery, except for my pants. But I don't really even feel like smelly at all, which is weird because I thought I would definitely be feeling a little dirty. But my mom's leaving tomorrow, so I think she's gonna wash my hair before she leaves in the sink. This is one of my first pics from Gorayana. Really pretty. And then we have another bracelet because you can never have too many bracelets. Not even that sore, really. It's just like the itchiness around the tubes is driving me insane. So I actually called the doctor's office and asked them if I could take better girl. But they said that I would be like super out of it because the pain meds kind of like make me drowsy as well. So they said if you need to, then you can. But they also said to just like change the dressing or like the tape and stuff. So you might try that first. Well, honestly, my mom put coconut oil like all over where it was itchy last night and it did help like a lot. Kind of like a temporary fix, but it didn't feel good at least. Here's something else that I ordered for the surgery. These are rinse-free bath sponges. So I think you just add water and you just like kind of scrubby dub dub all over you.  This is a 25 pack. And I think it should be able to get me through because I think I'll be able to take a shower after my one week post-op. I'm hoping so. I also feel like I'm very mobile because a lot of people said they couldn't even like lift their hands up. I definitely feel like I can do that. So thank God. I got another pair of just like bracelet pants. Also yesterday, I've never seen my cheeks more pink and it was just weird to see like the whole day. I was just so like blushed or something. I don't even know. The spice things. Okay, yay. I got little spice cans, things, drawers because there was some Indian spices that my mom gave me when I moved to Austin and they're just chilling in plastic bags. So I got these. Was that too heavy? Then I got some gold earrings with this really cool ribbed texture. And I think they were like really cheap on Amazon. Here's the spice wraps. They're pretty big. Every six hours, I'm supposed to take my pain meds and I just took it pretty much and now I'm feeling very groggy. So I think it's time for a nap. After I eat my oatmeal. I'm kind of hot right now. I don't know if I can eat a hot thing. I'm hot. My mom rebrated my hair, brushed it out and we emptied my drains and I was out on the balcony. I was out on the balcony and I fell asleep for a long time. Felt really good because it's like 70 something here in Austin which is like so weird. I totally forgot the reason why my throat is so sore is because whenever they knocked me out with the anesthesia stuff, they had to put like a breathing tube down my throat and I remember them saying that it's gonna be like scratchy and weird for a couple of days after that. So it makes a lot of sense now but my throat is just like so freaking dry. I'm gonna drink like lemon and honey water but it's only helping a little but it's almost noon. I'm just like, I'm trying to make these days go by faster honestly. Just feel like you get these tubes out of me. Doing good. Still on my pain medications and like I said, it's just really itchy.  My throat's feeling better. We're gonna attempt to wash my hair now. I'm just getting a more emotional Monday because my mom's leaving today and I'm just, I'm sad. What else? I feel like not talking at all. Every time I step out of the house I feel like I need to go back because I feel like the nauseous or like really sleepy. So I thought I would be better by this weekend. I thought I could like do stuff outside of the house this weekend because I've been literally trapped in this apartment for like five days now but I don't know because I just don't feel good every time I walk out of the house. So I don't know if I'm getting nauseous because of the car or what but it's not a good feeling. And yesterday I sponged back to myself and I really don't feel like smelly which is nice. Even before that I didn't really feel like gross or anything. I am on my period which definitely adds to the emotions of it all but I don't think the meds are helping with my emotions too. And yeah, it's kind of just like the update. I don't really feel great. I know it's gonna be over soon. I've seen my dreams to come the fork out of me but do I tell Tuesday?  Yeah. Sit up and I will get it. It is Saturday and I feel like I'm a brand new person. I probably look it because I actually got ready.  Like no heat curls. I did have to like straighten my bangs a little bit but for the most part it looks pretty freaking good. Then I finally changed my shirt. This is like Ryan's button down but I didn't really have any other button downs and I kind of just like want to get out of the house and like try to see if I'm able to. I kind of want to see how long I can go without taking my pain meds because I'm not in any pain. I think the last time I took it was like yesterday afternoon or in the night. I want to go to a park today, maybe South Congress. I kind of just like want to go shopping even though I do not know what size my boobs are because we're going to have to like measure them. So I think I'm just going to do some window shopping and see how long I can like hold up outside my home without my medication. I might take like a nausea pill before but I feel like I'm good on the pain meds.  And then I got these earrings from Amazon actually this week so I popped them in my ears because I haven't put anything in my ears I usually have like this whole stack of bracelets on my hand but I had to take them off for the surgery. And then this is from Gorayana. I'm wearing jeans today. It's like such a nice fall day in Austin which I feel like fall usually just happens in October, right? And it's like September. I'm going to put an quarter zip on the tag now. Yeah, because usually Ryan's always hot so he like never says this is fall. It's like 70, it's still 70. Yeah, it's probably going to get hot. So I'm wearing this button down but I don't know if you can tell my drains are like right here. Ryan's button down, where'd you get it? Bonobos. Bonobos. When I put this on we both noticed that like my boobs are so small and like honestly a button down is like one of the things that I really wanted to wear but my boobs are just like so large that it just like didn't look good on me and I just look so like petite. Like I feel like I was always petite but my boobs didn't look, made me look like it, you know? So this is like the first real clothing I kind of like put on after my surgery and it just looks so petite. It is Sunday and I just wanted to give a quick recap of yesterday. So we did some errands like we went to Goodwill and then we went to Teal House Bakery and got like the best cinnamon roll in the world. Literally put me in the best mood and I was just like really happy and just like in a good mood the whole morning. Then I came home, Ryan went to play golf and obviously I took a couple of naps because he was playing golf for a while and I didn't really have anything else to do. So I did end up sleeping but I didn't take my pain meds. After he came home we went to a sushi restaurant and then I went all downhill from there because I was just having like random mood swings. Like he would say something really nice and then I would start crying. Like it wasn't anything bad. I would just like start crying because he was like being nice. Obviously he's nice to me but he'll like say some cute stuff and I'll just like start crying. I'm like, okay you need to not say those things because I don't want to be crying in public. So it was like really weird. After like we ate, I didn't eat like too much of what I usually eat at a sushi restaurant but it was so good actually. It was like definitely gonna be our new favorite place. And it was sad that I couldn't really enjoy it but since it was like really dim lighting in there it didn't make me feel too good and I started having like hot flashes. So then I went ahead and took a Tylenol because I was just getting really, really hot and I wanted to like, you know, cool down any fever I had. So I didn't take any pain meds yesterday so yay for that. But yeah, the mood swings yesterday were very weird. Like I said, today is Sunday and we've had the most amazing morning. We went to this place called Little Fields and just got like some mocho which wasn't that great. Literally tasted like I was drinking milk and then we went to get some like tacos and brought them back here and hung out in our courtyard in our apartment complex. And then we like sat on the hammock and just let Sophie explore the courtyard and it was just like so nice and peaceful and just made me so happy inside just to like get outside. And the weather here in Austin is like really nice so I'm just like wanting to be outside. Yesterday I discovered something kind of like horrible. My vision is like not there. Everything's like really blurry. I'm blinking a lot and like I could barely see my computer and I was trying to like do some work things but I was like, okay, I give up because I can't really see anything. And it was just like really tough for me to like focus on stuff. So like my computer screen was there. I was like, I cannot see anything. Like I can't focus on it. And so Ryan is actually out to get me some eye drops and I Googled it and apparently that's a freaking side effect of having anesthesia. It can cause some blurry vision after you get anesthesia which fricking sucks because tomorrow is like the day I have to work or start working again. So that's gonna be very interesting. And today I'm gonna try not to take any naps. So I'm chilling on the couch but I'm watching some YouTube and I really wanted to like start working but my eyes are like really, really bothering me but I feel pretty good like soreness wise. I don't really feel like too much pain but the roads here in Austin are very bumpy. So like I literally have to like hold my boobs every time I'm in the car just in case I go over a bump because then it kind of hurts if I'm like going over a pothole. I don't think I gave you guys an update on my throat but that's getting a lot better. It got better like kind of when my mom left so that was Friday night. But yeah, now I'm just like randomly like sniffly. I don't know why. Tomorrow is Monday then the next day is Tuesday which means these trains are coming out and I feel like I will be a new person. I really, really hope that I will be. It's a couple hours later. I've just been editing my videos. My vision was a little better when I used rhymes like glasses, just random prescription glasses. It could have been the anesthesia. That's what I Googled and that's what it said. Or some people are saying that it could have been the nausea patch that was right behind my ear that I literally took off like two hours ago because I just didn't know it was gonna do anything bad to me and I didn't really know that I like wore off.  And now I have to like wait 24 hours to see if it actually like was the nausea patch. Also I'm really sad that my mom's not here anymore because my apartment is an actual pigsty. I don't know how we let it get this messy to be honest. It's mainly a lot of my stuff just out and about because I can't really put stuff away.  So that's what we're gonna be doing for the next hour. Today is September 28th, it's a Tuesday and it's a week and a day after I got my surgery and we are headed to my week after post-op which means they will be taking the fricking drains out of me, I hope. I don't really know what happens at this appointment but I'm hoping that they take the drains out of me and that I can fricking shower tonight. I am stoked because this hair definitely needs some washing and I just like want to feel clean. The nurse just said that I might be able to get my drains out cause my boobs look good and like the swelling is like fine and stuff and my drains like everyday it was so low so basically if it was a lot of like output she said then he might want the drain sustaining longer but I'm ready to get these things out of me and shower. I asked her if I could shower if they come out today and she said yes, so thank God. Yes, I'm just being dramatic. I actually did not feel her taking out the drains at all. I was just making these faces because I was so scared. I was like dreading it the whole time but literally I did not feel anything. I'm back home from the post-op appointment. It has definitely been a roller coaster during the later half of the week. I definitely had some mental breakdowns just like emotionally because I think it was like just all of the meds going in me. I don't know what it was. I would start off the mornings like so happy and then by the end of the night I would just like be crying for no reason. I couldn't tell you why but it was definitely a roller coaster and I'm just very happy that I'm kind of like back to my normal self and I can start wearing real clothes. I mean that's gonna be like the most exciting part is to try on all of my old clothes and see how my boobs look in it and just like not having back pain. When I'm out on like photo shoots and video shoots, I mean I still, I'm not going to be doing it for the next couple of weeks. I kind of just like didn't plan anything because I don't know how long I really need to heal you know, because it still feels a little bit weird if I, you know, pick up something too heavy. In my pre-op vlog I talked about like how I can't lift like anything 15 pounds or heavier for like blank amount of weeks and I can't submerge my breasts and water for like blank amount of weeks. So go watch that if you're curious about like all of the restrictions after the surgery. I was able to see my nipples and they are so small. It's very weird and they just like look weird honestly and I wasn't able to see my scars because they like had me laying down and I like couldn't like lift my boob and see it. So I didn't see those just yet but my boyfriend did and he told me it's not as bad as like he thought it would be but he did say like the anchor is like really close like right here like really far in. So it may be visible if I'm wearing like really deep V-necks or swimsuits or something. So hopefully that heals. I'm really, really praying the scars pretty much heal to like nothing but who knows? I mean, I know a lot of people who have breast reduction they just have like a little bit of a scar and that kind of just stays there forever which I really hope not. I also forgot to mention I ended up not purchasing any scar kit removals from the Westlake Dermatology Center because my nurse recommended me stuff on Amazon that was a lot more affordable. One was Scarway, those are the only silicone band-aid strips that they recommended or at least that brand. And then they also recommended to rub bio oil on the scarring and then put the band-aids on top. I will link those below. I've also heard so many people say that the Scarway band-aids help so much so I'm excited to see what they can do for me. If you guys are interested to hear updates from this surgery, definitely subscribe to my channel and turn on your post notifications. I definitely want to keep you guys updated with like how my scars are healing and like how long it takes. I don't have much else to say or show you guys. Just kidding, I do.  I have this little top on and I actually got it right before my boob reduction. So I'm going to put a side-by-side photo of what it looks like. I also measured my breasts and they are a 38 and it used to be a 39 which honestly I thought it would be a little more than an inch but good news that is a medium and top. So I used to get largest and now I can get medium so that's really exciting but yeah I don't know if you guys can like really tell but it's a big difference and I just cannot wait to try on more clothes so yay. So I'll end the vlog here but like I said I'll be keeping you guys updated on the vlogs and thank you so much for watching this whole video and coming with me on this journey and I will see y'all in my next video. Bye.
