I think it was not easy for goalkeepers today, it was a strong win and how likely is it that Stefan will keep this place in goal for the Real Madrid game? I have to think about it, because Eddie came from injured, he feels really good, I think so, now how to decide if there is a lack of rhythm for that mark? I have to decide, but we are really pleased from Stefan, he is an exceptional keeper. What decided the team to let you go on Wednesday? I don't know, I make two fresh legs today, record the rest of the people, I know everyone wants to play, but I have to see tomorrow, the doctors will knock the door and say, OK, you can count on these players, you can not count on these players, and after we try to see Madrid, because still I didn't see a lot. I will speak with my staff that see more games than Madrid than me, and I try to line up and try to do a good game. On Wednesday? First half, listen, I want to tell you something, normally the players look tired when the team is not playing good, did you see Tyre in the second half really? Not at all, and the first half was tired, because he moves too much, because our process was not good, when he arrived with Jack, next action was not good, and he was in position, it should not be, and the second half was more there, and he could play, and the result was better, 1-2. In the moment, you are not tired, in 0-1 you are tired, in 1-2 you are not tired, so football is that. But the physicality, last game, played 70 minutes, today 70-75, we can reduce the last 20-25 minutes, rather so strong in that terms, and that's good. Thank you guys. Thank you.


ke i'm pretty sure which law is it that says you have to see lord the rings like that it that's a thing i know that's a thing in certain countries um is there one for hardcore henry i don't think so just just putting it out there you know kind of destroys your entire argument with facts and logic yeah i feel like the lord the rings is so good it it kind of is the go to yeah we'll we'll see who who watches what by the time it tins up i don't i don't even know that jay would actually watch lord of the rings not and you know you have a lot of faith one entire year for him to see a movie i don't even know that he could do it it's just tough to ask of jay hello rags hello hello i write this from a bathroom with an open door oh no uh what do you think of no fab slash no nut november have you ever tried it also just saying that objectively christmas kicks halloween's orange butt oh my god absolutely racist it's no contest racist and wrong so when it comes to what was the question so uh doughnut november oh yeah i don't know why people do that yeah literally never why are the fuck i mean i can imagine that the payoff on december the first is fucking insane but i wouldn't ever do that i i understand they're self-imposed challenges but some people would say that having the sex is the challenge with the reward in it but i'm not interested and even when it's just talking about jerkin i just i don't have any interest in not jerkin for a month yeah i just don't don't don't see the appeal i'm sorry you know a month is a long time for for many beings of this world we're not talking about hours okay i'm not talking about seconds i'm talking about a big all several weeks and that's just you know too much to ask too much you need to do better than just saying oh well you know if it's a challenge because you know you want to but you just don't i'm like no no no challenges come with a reward and i guess if the reward is oh yeah well the nut you're gonna have on december the first is gonna be out of this world sublime like i don't know if it'll be that good to justify it i've based my alternate history story verse after a dream i had where i was drafted into the army at 15 and i woke up wondering what if child soldiers were still utilized uh do you mean like how feasible that would be as a storyline um draft i mean you have to justify in universe why they would um yeah they'd have to be spread pretty thin right oh four thousand uh i guess it depends um but you'd have to convince people who are reading the book that that world could potentially exist and that they could believe it but also i mean that's not a bad idea might be tough to use i think i've been tricked so what there's an aura that's on a character when they're um to be resurrected and i thought that aura was on all three of my team two of them just died and didn't come back luckily hadhod still has his so i cannot fucking be sent right back again i was i was almost sent right back to the beginning by the way right there holy fuck there's no save points in between then no and the funny thing is like i was tricked because there's an aura that came from barathor i think on my characters where i thought that was aura of the valour but it wasn't because you can't look at a character and get a list of their like auras you have to just go by colors which is a shit mechanic by the way so you're almost happy they gave almost now i'm gonna frenzy and resurrect well put a resurrection spell on myself and on barathor so get fucked don't worry guys we didn't get fucked over completely we're okay um um yeah uh alternate history storyline where they're still drafting a 15 and there's i assume a war going on i don't know uh yeah you just gotta try and justify it all like us i guess not what i had in mind when he said children um you thinking young i mean i could i mean i i could it's definitely more believable to say that yeah in this world you know 15 year olds you know have to fight especially if it's really desperate yeah it would probably be more realistic that like a 15 year old can contribute to a military effort in a non hold a gun or a spear kind of way you know when it comes to logistics and support a 15 year old as they did in the real world absolutely contribute to helping a war effort that is believable uh so you know when it comes to frontline combat maybe not so much uh it might it might be tough to convince people that's happening depends though but if you but if um you have a culture especially a very a culture that's very focused on you know it's it's martial component um then yeah having 15 year olds who are maybe participating in battles but not in a super direct way very believable like if you have i think he said fantasy right mm-hmm well alternate history so tango history well i guess it depends on what time period but you know you could have apprentices who work on you know the engineering components of catapults and trebuchets i assume they were talking about like now but alternative now now but the well still the variable is the in terms of yeah you know carrying making sure everyone has ammunition making sure that everyone has the supplies they need passing messages um helping to load artillery you know learning how mortars work you know being part of a mortar crew as they're getting you're getting instruction on a battlefield as to how these things function in a real scenario there's a lot of places to do that so as i use the 15 year old as ammunition for the cannons i'm gonna hand them like swords we're gonna shoot you at the enemy don't let us do that no more uh hey mollo hello thanks to you i've decided to try out doing reviews and i'm making a last of us two video however i have a problem with staying concentrated and motivated any tips for self-discipline hi rags hello um eyes on the prize that's a tough one yeah i've only found with speaking to different content creators about this very topic that everybody is so different about what keeps them going on a project and the what i found is i don't know yeah getting someone to become motivated when they weren't motivated before can be almost an impossibility yeah and it could be something super mundane and simple that keeps you motivated everyone's different and weird like that i don't know i because like what keeps me motivated is that i've chosen the topics very specifically that i know that i can last through my passion for it to begin with usually envision how long this project will be and try and own that that is that is what's required and that's what i will do uh there are some days where i'm less motivated than others but uh overall definitely got a shile above sort of just do it attitude i find that it helps when you break a project up into really tiny pieces and get them all completed uh one by one you can get a sense of like i'm making real progress here this is great um but yeah other than essentially partially generic uh advice motivations a tough one if you don't have it uh it might be something you you know end up deciding isn't quite for you if you're not motivated at all it's tough like i said yeah you have to discover it do i really want do i want to is it the idea of having a finished product that i'm in love with or you know is the work just not something that's worth it but of course good luck and i hope it works out once lost three hours in morrowind from not saving oh we've all been there i think we've all had those times where a saving system fucks us over completely and then we're like i don't want to play you anymore you're a bad man and the game is like i don't do nothing you're like no you did you did you know what you did you you knew it can also the the worst one is probably either the save file corrupting or soft lock in yourself in a game uh that one's fucking annoying then you rely on like autosaves and stuff if you got them yeah please read batwoman imdb reviews they're hilarious i have no doubt of that you mean like the positive or the negative ones i imagine they're all hilarious to be honest with you i imagine yeah like people talking about why it's good is only gonna be funny and then people complaining about how bad it is would also be pretty funny um you know just out of out of spookiness i'm gonna put an aura of the valour on him i don't know the poo law rags are we talking about we need the poo or tco oh yeah there is some poo law in there i guess in tco yeah and uh you saw the shits remember no the shits of you eating poo you don't remember seeing them you don't remember reacting like white stuff all over my face whatever that means but no idea what that means but um there's people like i think it was weekend war it was pooping into your mouth i can't remember you know just autistic freedom that's what you get uh you should play jedi academy story is mad but gameplay is amazing best lightsaber combat hands down also thanks for providing great content i've been watching efap while working for six months now hey um yeah jedi academy is the shit i remember playing that on my uh an old laptop an old hand me down laptop i kind of got for my grandparents and i adored that game it was super fun to play jedi yeah i hear good things i've not played it had decent gunplay good lightsaber stuff uh it was really good really enjoyed it but all that's non-canon now so i remember playing it as a kid and it starts off this isn't a spoiler or anything where you're like you're in the jedi academy that luke skywalker made you know and um i remember thinking as a kid like this makes sense i mean this is what he do he made the you know he does the jedi temple and no he starts the jedi again and so it makes sense that i'm here going to be a jedi because he's starting to jedi up no disney corrected your failings clearly i should have imagined that's something totally different clearly um did you see closer looks the last of his two video thoughts i haven't seen it yet it's something to look at um i heard he didn't like it which doesn't surprise me um also yeah sorry to mention that i'm glad we we've been able to keep you company for six months i assume that's the entire backlog at that point beef up who knows best batwoman character luke mouse or jacob of the best character you know it is it is between jacob and luke for me yeah it is between jacob and luke um potentially jacob i'm usually more happy to see him because he's gonna do something antagonistic to the heroes of the story which is what i would prefer um because those words are being used wrong as far as i'm concerned like you know everything he does is portrayed as like a bad move while i'm like yes jacob's doing something right luke on them you know i'm waiting for them to fully realize luke you know he's he's just being kept down go luke do you guys know that a considerable percentage of the population that believe there literally isn't objective reality even when it comes to morality what do you mean even when it comes to morality yeah there is no objective morality the best you could do with objective morality is to come up with a framework for morality and then make assessments based on that framework objectively but there's no inherent objective morality you'd have to have a holy book source or um you appeal to like what because i don't i don't see this was very convincing but a lot of people like to appeal to what we see in animals and stuff like that as if as if we're all meant to act in certain ways and that there's definitive pros and cons to actions and stuff it's a bit yeah um but that's a that's a whole topic yeah uh but if you're if you're if you're gonna claim that there's an objective morality then you have a lot of work to do in trying to convince people connecting the dots from a foundation to the actions themselves you know yeah and i don't uh don't think that you so say animals act on instinct not morality no not true we've seen uh displays of morality uh but again another very big topic very but please remember that humans are just really good animals we did a good job yeah those opposable thumbs they helped out a lot and and there's no yeah the morality shouldn't uh you don't need a religious or spiritual component for morality to have it work i mean i consider myself a secular humanist and that you know saying humans are not animals it's like okay well if you're gonna if you're gonna make the argument that their plants uh might be a bit more difficult but humans are absolutely animal yeah we're not i think it's as that might be we might be dealing with someone who considers it might be a religious thing because like humans are totally animals like categorically yeah i i think here's the thing don't confuse saying that animals are humans with animals are merely humans um it doesn't devalue what humanity is to just say that yeah we're humans i mean we're primates i mean i don't know what you want i don't know what you want it well it's gonna depend on uh how people categorize uh they might have their own perspective on that one but from what i understand yeah we we are under the categorization of animals someone said when it comes to morality if you uh there's objective truth and everything if you disagree and say it's subjective you have to concede that if 51 percent of people suddenly said slavery was right then it's morally right what about 30 things wrong with that short say i was going to say i have a lot of questions so remember um oh we didn't actually cover it um but someone made a video where they were for whatever reason under the impression that we think objectivity is just whatever most people believe in finesse a couple of people have said yeah a couple people said that's what we report which is not what we do at all yeah which isn't true at all um the amount of people who think it uh doesn't mean something is morally correct or incorrect um so yeah um don't know where you got that from if 51 percent of people think slavery is morally good that doesn't make it correct same thing if 99 percent of people think so um it it can't be justified within my moral framework and i think that my position on morality is based on the facts of reality which is why i consider myself a secular humanist in that regard uh i created my very first video meme for efap 100 hopefully that is either gonna be covered or shall be picked up i hope i don't miss it um just saying more that join christmas it's a superior side we get free elf labor enslaved elves orcs to my new coal and did i mention elf slaves i will say a very tempting aspect of team christmas um but in finesse halloween does have an army of demons and stuff and they all have powers as opposed to armies of angels in heaven praising the birth of little baby jesus with all the animals in the crib i think that's lame no they got no dude no not at all absolutely not demons get fucking the angels can they have the big armor and oh and and there's the the some part of the christian mythology is that like the seraphim right the the seraphim angels so they have six wings but they have faces on all sides of their head so they're always like looking out and stuff so is that someone before someone asked is that true it was like no because all that shit made up so but it is it is a really cool imagery but i will caution of course the army of demons i was referring to is very true uh oh i mean they're both cool um but i don't know that's all good so that halloween has the best music i remember when um we talked about thriller but thriller came out before christmas well you can't you can't make that claim what's the requirement for halloween versus christmas music because it has to be released during the holiday or it's having based around it so our zombies so jesus is the ultimate zombie so things that talk about zombies are obviously christmas related so there you go this is kind of the ultimate thing you like came back and he wasn't even gross you know flash fully off and stuff and the hunger for brains he didn't even have that so someone asks uh rags why do you celebrate christmas why celebrate religious holidays oh come on so i don't i i guess i'm wondering where to start so everyone here is religious and like everyone in my family is religious so if i didn't celebrate halloween like i don't want to get into all that stuff with them i just play along for my right um but it's fun i get to meet up with my folks i get to meet all sorts of other people you know there's a spirit of the season and the songs and the music and the food and everyone's got that attitude and then there's the aesthetics of it and it's cheery and it's a great reason to drink much like music we're waiting throughout the year for things to change the fact that it there's a closing time for christmas and for halloween and for thanksgiving and easter all these events they need to start and end and they're fun and that's it it doesn't actually need to go further than that they're just fun it's like oh this is the time you eat a chocolate egg you're like why should we do this is like why the fuck not it's just the easter egg time if if we all come together and say um now like today's the day where we're just gonna um i mean like the first thanksgiving right um they they they pick the day to celebrate this thing that had happened the series of events that had occurred and everyone agreed that this was the day we're gonna do it and it means this thing and if we're all just sort of doing it together it doesn't matter if what it's based off of isn't true or it or you don't believe in it like you can still enjoy it for what it is you can still enjoy the secular components of it and they can still bring you joy and happiness and a lot of good things can come to you i mean christmas was always introduced and taught to me at first when i was super young it's just oh that cool time of the year where everybody hangs out and presents are given and it was only when i was older that people like do you know what it actually is though and i was like i don't really care at this point yeah it's very um they're cultural reasons to do it and they it unites us as a culture so this is cathartic reasoning you yeah it's like even if you're not religious like there there are culturally uniting reasons why you would celebrate halloween and christmas and the fourth of july you don't need any of that though honestly you can just literally just be like i like i like halloween is cool i mean like oh you don't you don't believe in where it came from i was like so yeah if everyone in a town gets together and decides you know what on october the 22nd it's gonna be the pumpkin festival and we're gonna get together in the town square and set up all the stands and go to the we're gonna have a fair and a festival and everyone's gonna make pumpkin pie and pumpkin lattes and shit there's gonna be games and food and hay rides and stuff like that then if ever it could be totally purely 100 arbitrary but if everyone gets together and does it then it creates benefits for people i mean you i i imagine like july was just the that uh i'm trying to think of a name that could be believed but is also completely made up like for a holiday tecna lawn and you're like what the fuck is that and it's like it's basically like the month of sci-fi where everyone's just like we watch a few sci-fi movies talk about the potential for the future and maybe change the avatars to like futuristic robot-y type things and i just be like that's cool with me fine yeah sounds like fun i was good at cons and stuff maybe maybe in that month that's just something people do and if someone's like don't you know this is built on some kind of weird thing from some other place some time ago i'd be like okay uh i'll give me a second to go oh i'm sorry i can uh i can carry on have you heard of the long man of is still playing film footage by the way guys you have to wait they're doing our skill yet now look wilmington long man of wilmington it's a giant hill figure in east sussex also high wags i have not heard of the long man of wilmington sounds very interesting uh just sharpen a pool cue oh yeah that would be a way to deal with zombaloids i feel like you'd have pretty good tools at that point built for purpose you wouldn't even need to you know fashion a thing but yeah true still going still gandalf running around i am back um though uh that call was to change some scheduling so i probably have to leave in the next 40 minutes oh we're close we're close to the end so oh yeah yeah um yes one piece in the manga still hasn't been explained yet but the story is in its end game it'll end in another seven years probably what do you mean like the one piece part of i feel like you're trolling me the one piece part of it hasn't been explained yet unless they really are going for the long haul all right like what do you think anyone could ever say that anime names could be totally nonsensical well unexplained and nonsensical they're not the same thing right like i'm named like boobly boobly totally irrelevant just put together almost as if darts were thrown at a dictionary wombo fanaticism and you're like oh my god i can't wait to find out what wombo fanaticism means uh say predacons terrorize all right no not november stemmed from november the movement to raise awareness about prostate and testicular cancer the retarded thing is that not ejaculating on the regular actually increases the chances of getting nut cancer shake my head yeah that's what i've heard i've heard that uh ejaculating regularly can uh decrease the risk well well also it uh feels great it costs me nothing yeah the justification is that my story's world war two was 10 times worse than ours and before then it was more like they were trained continuously until 1718 when they could fight frontline combat yeah again sure and i would support it all i think it's feasible you could even push it down to a more controversial like absolutely not kind kind of age if you push all of these like western countries to the limits i suppose yeah um i know that in the in the final days of the war like the germans would press uh more younger and more older people and into fighting uh but yeah the the no doubt happens i mean i mean look at helms deep just give a kid a good sword ultimately well it's the thing of like can you swing this like yeah it's like well all right you need help yeah yeah also no shave november is the superior meme i mean someone said throwing darts at a dictionary does not give you random words you know what i meant fucking asshole mola is a very sue rags like to be immediately not immediately you have to watch a whole video and then meet me and yeah i had to watch the video first i think i had come to a pretty decent conclusion before it was over but um besides i can't be a mary sue fucking shit tons of people hate me yeah just because rags likes me i know that's a pretty good attribute to have as a human but that's still not going to make me a mary sue uh just watch that stream on metal commander's channel we need to get drunk rag more often oh no rag drags runk more often so uh listen it might have been really fun at the time in a weird blissful way and i've listened back to some of it and i could see that people really enjoyed it but like that was a really rough day for me yeah afterwards too much drink i drank a lot i drank more than i've ever drank before and everyone's like oh i just had a couple of beer no no no i didn't have beer that day i had i had whiskey i think it was bourbon um and i would just put it in the glass like i had a i had a cup and i put ice in the cup and i put bourbon in there and then i added some water i've never drank that much alcohol before in my life um had or it i had or is really rough uh afterwards uh i yeah it was mashed indeed yeah i was mashed i was mashed i might do it again though for something special but i i definitely want to be lucid for the e-fap 100 because i don't know at some apparently at some point of the stream i just departed to lay down and then i cried for boromir and it was really weird and i was just you needed help thinking of stuff you needed help you needed help i needed help no boromir did is what i was saying you didn't get it you know uh but yeah i get maybe but yeah it won't be for e-fap 100 because i have to be gotta stay awake that's the challenge with that lay and drunk focused being drunk is for me it it only lasts so long and then i just have to go lay down and just be by myself i've been watching more movies to catch up on the last decade and here are my favorites for the each year of 2010 oh wait for each year 2010s is the social network 2011 is 50 50 i don't even know if that's a i don't know that one from 2012 is the avengers fair enough social network is pretty cool and i do like the avengers uh just writes relationship with e-fap is a better revenge story than the last fest too also high rags revenge story who's getting revenge on who oh my goodness oh here we go 2013 is about time i'm sappy lull all right all right 2014 whiplash excellent choice 2015 the big short i don't think i've seen that 2016 the nice guys i enjoyed that just shame black there's a lot of shame blackisms in it 2017 baby driver excellent production values not fond of the story though 2018 mission impossible fallout excellent choice once again yep 2019 parasite again not a lot of wrong answers for 2019 compared to a lot of years in terms of the there was like there's like a selection of seven that are really strong for 2019 but yeah excellent mary bone make dad luke mouse jacob nothing censorship um so kill mouse mouse and jacob kill mouse yeah that's easy obviously kill mouse um mary jacob bone luke yeah i was about to say because if you marry jacob you get access to a lot of awesome shit yeah and i feel like in terms of being relationship ready luke is just not also marrying luke you end up having to deal with fucking batwoman on the regular like hey well i guess you got that with jacob too but you can at least be like no i'm gonna stay home while with luke if you want to hang out with them he's probably in the fucking back cave i'm like uh yeah here we go again have you watched casually explains videos i've heard of them i haven't watched the videos i don't think maybe one or two at some point but yeah um i've started well have you have you watched any casual explained no i don't think so i started writing and drawing a comic book it's an idea for a story i've had years four years and i'm now starting it finally i blame you guys for a new found motivation so thank you uh also hi rags hello hello and yeah that's good to hear keep at it go go go um only virgins don't rewatch previous older e-faps i mean if that's you know if you read that on like an inscribed stone in the in the cosmos it's probably true i'm just saying uh have you guys heard of patriotic alternative so based you nudes are not allowed to talk about it no idea what that is patriotic alternative yeah i have not heard of that one uh odor the writer of one piece has said that one piece is actually thing and not a friendship along the way oh it's it's so one piece is gonna be a thing and the one piece readers will be excited to find out what it is eventually i suppose hope it's satisfying assuming that's the case oh my uh one of my plot points was that one side did its best to ensure the survivability of the minor soldiers while the other car couldn't care less oh like both teams using young soldiers but one side didn't really care about their well-being while the other did i suppose like yeah could provide uh an interesting back and forth i suppose uh rags and all mohler hypothetically uh would you lose respect for someone you initially liked if you found out they were a christian no i guess it depends on why yeah so the information on its own no especially someone who i uh like think makes lots of good arguments and rationalizations because i'd be like there's probably a actually a set of strong reasons for how they they've decided that that's the thing but if you get into like a huge conversation go into all the weeds for all the things start discovering stuff that can annoy you it's like well i guess that but that's the same as just getting annoyed by any you know gaps in critical thinking that you might perceive in someone else it doesn't really affect much uh with me you know it can happen with a lot of stuff like if someone's like oh i like tlj you're like oh yeah yeah like i live in arkansas in the united states i just assume by default everybody around me is christian so the idea that i um you know it wouldn't i get just doesn't mean anything everyone around me is they're they're all they're everyone's on the spectrum of stupid to intelligent to kind to mean and they they can all be under the umbrella of christian that in and of itself doesn't mean much to me really um oh i accidentally skipped one as well uh oh yeah but but overall yeah it doesn't doesn't really matter to me and i assume it doesn't matter to you that much either uh no um i mean the reasons matter more than the i mean yeah the then the conclusion uh sex-tisming a child isn't objectively evil but no i don't i don't think that like i'm trying to that's it that can't work that way um it has to be from our own perspective yeah how we built i think it's yeah i think it's immoral to do and i can give you the reasons why based on my moral framework why it's why it's bad but i'm not gonna say that it is like inherent to the universe that that is a bad thing to do because i don't think that you know inherent morality or objective morality yeah and uh what's right and what's wrong evolves quite significantly over time as well with our understanding and not to mention like i've said this before but um for all we know in like a thousand years from now the idea that we ate animals is going to be considered like a horrifying thing that our society was okay with or something also to address it in the chat really quick someone said uh there are apparently diamond mines in arkansas so a little bit of thing arkansas has the only public diamond mine i guess you could say the murphy's borough uh arkansas freighter of diamonds is where it's called it's basically a big ass open field where you can go and you can try to find diamonds out there and every once in a while someone does find a diamond of a release the appreciable value um a lot of very geologically interesting formations and stuff up there but yeah you can go to murphy's borough and check it out and um even on they made all the quarters that had all the states on them arkansas's quarter had a big old diamond on it because only place in the u.s you can go out and mine for diamonds going out there so yeah kyber is an anime that explores transhumanism in a world where your memory can be stored moved and manipulated awesome yeah there's uh lots of different properties that are doing it and it's always fun to check out the different worlds uh altered carbon was an attempt soma is obviously explore blade runner doesn't sorry that's just i'm mixing mixing things up there uh i was thinking like what it means to be human mixing with uploading your brain um but yeah uh lots of good examples have you listened to mc jabo it's monday matt's speech mixed in talk parody hip hop songs it's the funniest music ever created look it up seriously mc jabo mc jabo um do do still a better love story than twilight equals better revenge story than the last of us two hello rags hello and yeah i could see how that'd be a comparison absolutely well it certainly in our community has been coming up a lot the new age version of that thing version of that thing new age version of that thing i like it new age version it should be noted that in real life it was commonplace for men to lie about their ages during world wars yeah yeah might be my last super chat but please watch dragon balls the abridged also it's quite sad how far rooster teeth has fallen i mean that's all i've heard really because i didn't follow up all i hear but people seem to be upset about it sorry i hear it and uh dragon balls the abridged can't promise anything unlikely that i'll be watching it i suppose it's the best i can actually say i don't see when i'm likely that i will um engage in watching not impossible but unlikely so you're telling me that a roman legion would be better equipped to handle the zombie apocalypse than the dumboes and wasps too yes undoubtedly not even close in fact they would be with with the shields and the the gladi eye uh the gladi e um with their lorica segmentata and all their armor and stuff absolutely they would be like here's the thing zombies especially in like medieval settings would get fucking like they they could never get into a castle though ever would be really cool to see that i'm sure there has been attempts at doing it in media already but medieval plus zombies do it yeah it could absolutely work uh based on how you frame the world how the zombies come the traits of the zombies um where they attack like if they if they swarm upon a village or if a village has very little time to prepare for a zombie horde coming its way that could be super tense and exciting but zombies are not getting into a castle you'd have to make them super human in order to do that oh shit dude absolutely i completely blanked and you can tell me exactly why because we both know fucking game of thrones did that well yeah i was thinking of it i i it almost like it went without saying because there's no way zombies are getting through a stone wall well just i was just thinking about how cool it would be and then it's like what are you talking about more they did it already that i'm like oh fuck that abomination so the castles would be those like a place where if there's a bunch of zombies running around the castles would be the safe places but there's only so much room in a castle and not everybody can fit in i think we talked about it um in one of the streams but like i would love because a castle is so good against zombies that the way to do it is to just have an insane amount of zombies like they just they pool over there's so many of them and then you have like a force to you know the the castle is really pushed to its limits that's what we'd like to watch instead what we got yeah you could make it work what i would probably say for a medieval setting is to keep zombies with the not individually strong but in numbers they're terrifying yeah and give them some kind of a supernatural power well um if you remember the yms is walking dead series he's like they're puncturing through horse skin to pull out its intestines like with their hands like they must be super strong like how they do in that and so yeah give them you could do something like they're strong but they're clumsy and they're not well coordinated or they never have to sleep they never stop moving they don't have to breathe so they can travel underwater um they like maybe they're being controlled by an intelligence outside of themselves so they can act intelligently if they're directed to um you know there's all sorts of stuff that you could do that could be really interesting rip game of thrones once again just keeps coming up you know uh do do moops will people be joining us for 100 high rags hello um i suppose we could put people on the screen i don't i don't know i don't think so people's busy you know he's protecting people from that scene like he came in as a hero from my stream but he's not going to do that every time for everyone you know people's a he's a legend though and i understand why you would ask um i would make evil faction appealing to play in w opg say one more time i don't make evil faction appealing to play in w opg w opg w opg i guess that means western role playing game uh oh yeah i don't even see why that would be any different based on if it was eastern or western honestly that depends on the faction itself give the faction a noble goal or a or an understandable and sympathetic goal or cause but have their methods be very questionable or excessive have that motivation have their motivation be perhaps fear of survival or desperation that helps you understand their motivations clearer um it's been done a lot and even though i think that there's you could have like a soul like if you're playing as the zombie team or you're playing as the horde or the flood for example um even when their motivation is just they're just beasts that kill it's like even then it can be fun though because you're just like yeah spawn hive spawn you know thing in fact who i'm being the evil people you know but if making them appealing like visually or just just in a sense of like i actually want to play as these guys i believe in their cause like at that point you can actually a lot of research on uh our faction could be considered evil while also being something you agree with they thus can get complicated yeah it's not actually difficult to do the thing is people just don't want to commit to it while making them sympathetic or something yeah like people a lot of people when they make stuff they they either don't want to deal with the ramifications of an antagonistic side that isn't actually evil or they they want it nice and clean where the bad guys are just bad go for it um which is fine but um it's not like it's not like difficult to actually do yeah you'll probably be right most people like playing as the bad guys anyway sometimes um and that's it by the way dunzo falumpo and any stream labs that came in during this stream will be done next time we can do a catch up of any kind which could be the next week probably i don't know but the obviously what's coming up is efab 100 on saturday 20 second 2 p.m bst start even if you're not there for the start you'll probably find it if you search for it on saturday because uh it's gonna be a longman one of them streams that go for a while you're gonna have all kinds of fan fan things uh interactions and stuff in in between um the reuploads on the mula channel some things have been recorded already you'll see them um during we'll have all kinds of guests all kinds of topics and um some some neat little surprises hopefully here and there who knows uh and so yeah without there's no point really saying anything else when an event like that is coming so is this any any any other things rags we should mention before saying everybody tune in uh on saturday honestly i don't think i have anything else to add just um looking forwards to the stream looking forwards to see everybody there uh gonna have a lot of fun with all the guests we bring in and the videos we manage to cover and the stuff that we talk about um really excited for efab 100 it's going to be an incredible anniversary yeah um zack ill let's ask me if super chat's turned off no no but uh we we've covered all the ones that come in so we're gonna end it there thank you all very much and like i said we will see you on saturday so goodbye everybody there yeah absolutely bye bye everyone


Okay, Scott, it's yours. Good evening. Thank you all for joining us today. I hate to read the titles, but just for official for the recording, this is the Lake Country Drive, Water and Sewer Improvements Community Design Meeting. Of course, that means that we are still in the design stage. We have reached 90 percent. However, we still have a few items that we need to complete before we start advertising this project. Let me get started with the direction we're going. Agenda, we'll do introductions here in a moment. We're going to do a project overview. We're going to show you the project area. We'll go through some frequently asked questions that we get at these meetings and then we'll discuss a little bit about the timeline. To introduce myself, my name is Scott Taylor. I am the project manager for the City of Fort Worth. The engineering design consultant is Paul Dussett, who is on the call with us and Paul is very familiar with this project by now. He should be. Why are we doing this improvement project? I think that's a very good place to start this type of thing. The city tends to prioritize its replacing of water and sewer lines that have a high risk of failure. Now, a lot of times risk of failure is not just based on, hey, we had a water main break there, but it's determined based on a lot of other data and water main break histories, number one, and then leak history. Then we also have close circuit TV inspection, particularly on our sanitary sewer lines. And that's where we get a lot of information there. Age of the line is very critical line material. If there's lead services, we have not come across any lead services on that we have had identified on this project. And then cast iron lines are another area that we also look at replacing. So why are we doing this improvements now? Well, the majority of these water mains and sewer mains were installed back in the 1970s. So as you can guess, we're approaching 50 plus years life on the water and on the sewer. We also, and one of the other reasons we're doing this is we're upsizing the sanitary sewer line from it's a six inch now or a predominantly six inch. And we're going to go with an eight inch diameter sewer line. We have a couple of other areas where we'll have some larger diameter lines, but those are closer to the lift station that's on Lake Country Drive. So give you an idea of the project scope. And basically here's this kind of a map that shows everything that's in black is where we're either replacing water and sewer, water only. And I don't think we're doing any sewer only. And so you can see we have a few cul-de-sacs on this project that we're going to be doing that. So basically defining it is Sky Lake Drive and Eagle Mountain Lake to the west, Dozier Creek and Boat Club Road to the north, Lake Country Christian School to the east and then the golf and golf courts drive to the south. And I was just out there yesterday, by the way, driving this project again. So our project area again is the Lake Country, continuing that Lake Country Drive from Golf Club Drive to Trail Ridge Drive. And in that area, we are replacing water and sewer. Trail Ridge Drive from Lake Country Drive to the cul-de-sac is water. Lake Highlands Court from Lake Country Drive to the cul-de-sac. We're doing water and sewer there. And then on Plaza Ridge Court from Lake Country Drive to the cul-de-sac, we also are doing water and sewer. And then on the Regents Court cul-de-sac, we'll be doing water and sewer. And then on the Heatherwood Court, the only thing we're replacing there is sanitary sewer. So now a question that's going to come up, and particularly for those individuals that live on cul-de-sacs. We will have your water turned off for about 15 to 30 minutes when we transfer the existing service line to a temporary water line. And we will have a temporary water line in place while we're doing replacing the old line. And then we will shut it down again when the contractor has done all his testing, back teeing and all of that on the new water line. Then we will put the service back. We will put your service back to the new line. And these switchovers are done during the day. And you will be notified by the contractor since down here a little below.  He also may put hangers. If nobody answers the door, he may put door hangers out so that you can, you know, doubling and keeping that information going. And it generally takes about 30 minutes per house to do the transfer service and they're done one at a time. So now the next question that comes up quite a bit. How does the temporary line impact my home and water bill? Well, a temporary water line ensures that you're not without water during the construction period. In the summer months, the continuous flow keeps the water from becoming stagnant in the above ground line. And that's important as we know. During the winter months, water must continually flow through the temporary line to keep the line from freezing. So we ask that any customers that have is on this temporary line that in the winter months as it gets colder that they allow their faucets to drip. Now, the bill for your water usage while you're on the temporary line is based on an average of the previous month's use. So it's not your meter we're basically disconnected from the meter or your services disconnected from the meter. So our utility billing group will base that on average of previous months. It'll be an average bill. So will we need access to your property? The construction that we're performing will be done in the streets and easements. If Fort Worth water needs access to your property we will contact you. If an easement is needed for your property a city land agent will be contacting you soon. Based on where the level we're at in design we do not believe we need any new easements for this project. So that one will not be that hopefully we will not run into that during construction or prior to opening beds that we had to get an easement but we believe we're working totally within existing easements or straight right away. Will sewer service be disrupted? No, your sanitary sewers will not be interrupted. New sewer cleanouts will be installed at the property line. When we replace the sewer line we put in new service lines and we will put a clean out right at the property line. And the reason we have put the sewer clean out at the property line it provides cruise easy access if a backup or blockage occurs. So we have the ability to get there much more quickly or start working on the sewer line. Now, will I have access to my driveway during construction? We will have an inspector assigned to this project and when we're ready to start construction the inspector and the contractor will work with the residents who need driveway access during active construction hours. And yes, since we are working in the street then we have driveways that come right out on the street or onto the cul-de-sac. There could be times that when if the excavation works being done the driveway might be blocked. But we only wanna do that during construction hours. And at the end of the day we wanna make sure we leave access to the driveways when the contractor completes his work each day. And that will be a point of discussion with the contractor in the pre-construction meeting. So how am I gonna coordinate traffic during construction? Well, you see there one of the things that we always worry about are we gonna impact schools or churches or public facilities? We will have a control plan in place before the contractor starts work. That is an item that we are still working on because the next item is we're still working with the Eagle Mountain Independent School District concerning bus routes. If they have a bus route that will have some impact on our construction. Times as we wanna make sure we leave as much access as possible and then also where if they're using buses where are the students picked up by that bus? Is it are they at one location, two locations, three locations? So we will have a meeting with the school district to assure or get if they have bus route there that we address that in our specifications and therefore keep the contractor informed as to what we may have to do handling traffic flow. Now, the next item I think that always becomes important on some of these projects is will the city's trash truck be able to pick up my trash and recycling during construction? So if we have closed part of the street and your trash is on that side of the street that's closed the contractor is responsible to take your trash container put it on the other side of the street both your recycle and your normal trash and to make sure that it's picked up on the day that it's picked up and that is again another items that are put in the contractor will be in our details and then also will be also in our specifications that they're responsible for making sure of that. Will there be lane closures during construction? Yes, I can almost assure you that there'll be signs out there. Now it may not be a full width of the street closure. Of course, if we did that, we would have to put it details. However, a lot of these will be because I know where the water line is going down Lake country, we'll probably have part of that blocked off while they're doing the work. Now again, we will work with a contractor to minimize that the amount of road that they need to take. Same thing will go with the sanitary sewer when we're replacing it there. Now, cul-de-sacs, again, we still need to leave access to driveways as much as possible except for when there might be some periods when we actually have the driveway blocked. But again, at the end of the day, we should have every driveway back open and the cul-de-sac would be back open and the street may be open partially. Again, if we've got an open trench or anything like that, which we generally don't like to have at the end of the day, we'll have that barricaded off. So you still may see some lane closed signs or traffic control signs up even after the construction is done for the day. So that leads me to the next one. What are their construction hours? City of Fort Worth's requirements are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. We have a little different criteria if we have a school zone, an active school zone. Times are a little different, but that's Monday through Friday. And if the contractor requests to work on Saturdays, and that's, he cannot work on Sundays, it's usually they're 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. or 5 p.m. on Saturdays. And a lot of times that becomes a discussion between our inspector and the contractor as to what they're gonna be doing and how much impact it might have for traffic, particularly on Saturdays. So the timeline, well, as stated, since we call them design, the project's still in the design phase. We expect to design, finalize the design, advertise for bids, and select a contractor during late summer or early fall of 2023. So they anticipate a large portion of this construction will occur in the fall time period, we haven't talked about the number of days yet on this project, but I would, you know, it may take some time because of the amount of cul-de-sac work we have to do, waterline replacing and things like that. But we'll have a much better ideal as we get closer and finish our, get our final plans ready for bidding. If at the point when we've got the contract awarded and we get a contractor on board, we will have another community meeting, the community construction meeting, and we'll do that before the construction starts. And at that meeting, you'll have both the city staff, our design engineer, and we will have the contractor also participate in that as he can answer some of the questions of how he's gonna approach these items, the various items that we have to deal with. So now, where can you get more information? Well, first place is go to www.fortworthtexas.gov and type the project number. And the project number for this project is 103-418. And if you put that in the search bar, it will go right to the construction project page, which is the Lake Country Drive Water and Sewer Improvements and it should come right up. If you wanna get project page updates, there's a place on that screen that you're on. You can scroll down to the bottom of the project page and subscribe on this page. So anytime a notice is posted or anything gets update is made, it will be added to that site and it should pop up. And then there will be a PDF of the PowerPoint we're making right now and then it will be a PDF of the construction. And then you can link this to a YouTube video, which will also be posted on the project page. So now this is a question that I think is good, even if nothing happens during our construction but is numbers to call an emergency. So if you have a sewer backup or you see a water main break or leaks, we do have a 24 hour a day response group. Their number is the same in two cases but you select option one, it goes directly to who's on call that night. It's<PHONE_NUMBER> and select option one. And that is for main breaks and things like that. Now we had the Water Call Center is for non-emergencies and it's a staff from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Again, it has the same number but if you just let it ring, it will get the options. If you don't select option one, it will roll over to the Water Call Center. Now we also, there's a My FW app and it's available in the App Store or Google Play and you can report sewer overflows, leaks and water main breaks, missing lids or broken lids, water theft if you see anybody stealing water, water violations, no water service, water pressure issues or other sewer concerns. You can actually use that app to send that information in and it is responded to also. So again, just to let you think, my name is Scott Taylor. My phone number is<PHONE_NUMBER> and I can be reached at scott.tayloratfortworthtexas.gov. And then again, if I get tied up and you ask a question, I can't answer, I'll call Paul because Paul's the design guy, he should know what they're doing and he does. And so I've worked with Paul before. So, but we can get, if you have any questions anytime and I know a lot of them will happen during construction. That's usually when I get more phone calls is during the construction period. And we, again, some things happen that we're not aware of that we're gonna run into during the construction. So anyway, so I thank y'all for your participation or thank y'all for listening to me and I guess now Sally will take questions. We don't have anything in the chat. So if you have a question, jump right up. Larissa. Oh, you're on mute Larissa. Larissa, you're muted. There you go. Am I unmuted? Okay. Now I can hear you. Okay, how long is the projected timeline of this? Is it gonna be like a year, six months?  Yeah, I would guess, and this is just now because one of the things we'll be discussing here in the next month or so is the number of days that we'll put in the, for the bid document. I would expect, I'm off the top of my head given that we may have some starts and stops as we're doing, you know, cul-de-sac here. I would say 210 to probably 290 days. So we're looking basically probably nine month, nine month frame. And again, I may be optimistic on that because there's been issues that we've had recently that are not affecting construction. It's getting material delivered for the project like valves and water line and sewer line and manholes. We've had some issues on other projects on delivery time. But I would say nine months would be the target date. But, you know, again, that's just a guess right now. We wanna minimize the time we're there. I mean, we clearly wanna get in and out. But just sometimes, yes, and it is a large project. You know, for a neighborhood. I mean, that's a lot of us, a lot of things to do. And we're gonna be on, basically, we're gonna have one main street. There's gonna be construction going on it, almost the entire length. So. Okay. Does anybody mind if I ask one more? Go ahead. No, okay. On the notice that we got, it shows that it's traveling towards a golf club drive in Prentis. And when you guys were talking about space, you were showing the schools, which are, you know, a mile in the other direction. Or half a mile in the other direction, I can't remember which. So are you actually gonna be past? Cause I mean, my call to sec is the starting point or the finishing point. And you showed it going the other direction. So do we only have a partial map showing or is it gonna go up towards the schools? No, no, no, the lines shown on the drawing is correct. They took a picture of the school, more as an example of things that we have to worry about, traffic impacts, like using Lake Country Drive as that for impact. But no, we're not going that, we're not going that direction. But yeah, we're going the other direction. So we're basically just working along that. But no, the school, we're not going towards the school. Would you have two questions from Jeff and Cherie? Did you wanna, I can tell it to him if you want me to. Are you unmuted? Sorry, hang on a second. Okay, the questions in chat are, I missed the start date. Can you go back to the timeline? Scott, sorry, you missed it. Yeah, so the timeline is that we were expecting to finalize our design, advertise for bids and select a contractor during late summer or early fall of 2023. So going on the sense that I generally know that these projects, it takes us, evidently we try to estimate earlier, but I think we will start this sometime in the fall of 2023, which means that we would actually roll over if we went the nine months, which I anticipate, we're gonna roll into 2024 in the winter. And hopefully winter and spring, we'd be done by the end of spring in 2024. Now, and that's the timeline today. And again, that's subject to change. And when we have the construction neighborhood meeting, neighborhood meeting will be, we will have a definitive schedule at that point because we will have the contractor will have supplied us a schedule so we can give you more information. Okay, Scott, they have a second question. Jeff and Cherie, I put them saying your name correctly. Work from home and they need to be able to come and go throughout the day. Will they be able to do that during construction? Yes, they will. And again, one of the things we will do is we will work with the city inspector and the contractor for access. And there may be a period. I can't imagine how long it would be, but if there's a period, like if it's a water service we're installing or something like that, but we will. We also will maintain traffic open. We do not plan to close any street, particularly Lake Country Drive, because it's a major. So we will have traffic signs up and we may have lanes blocked, but we will work with each of the homeowners to assure that we minimize any disruption to their house or to their driveways. Okay, and Randy, you said you have a quick question. Yeah, I have a quick one. So I'm Randy Ball and I'm in the Glen Eagle subdivision and in the emails that I've been getting, you've been specifically calling out Glen Eagles, but you don't really come into our neighborhood. You're really close. We're down by the corner of golf club in Lake Country, but I don't see that you're coming into our neighborhood. No, I don't think we are, but we also notify the surrounding areas because if people come up and use Lake Country Drive a lot, we just wanna make sure everybody's aware there's construction there. And we actually will put a construction sign at the roughly at the ends of each project. That gets very difficult to do, but we will have the contractor define where the construction area is, but that's the reason it is mentioned is we just wanna make sure the surround, not only the people that are gonna be directly impacted, but other people that use those streets are aware of the construction. Okay, and these 15 to 30 minute outages you were talking about each house might have, that's not gonna impact us. No, not at all. No, because the outages will be at their individual meter, not the whole system. I can elaborate on what Scott was saying. I know where I live, there's just more than one way out, but people have, there's certain route they wanna have the neighborhood. So we always wanna make sure that we're letting everybody know in the vicinity of it, that there's gonna be construction and there may be some street closures. So that's why we always kinda over notify people. All right, Chris, you asked, are they also going to replace the road surface? That is the one item that we have not completed yet. In fact, I've had a discussion with my supervisor yesterday and when he comes back, we will, you will probably see people that live along Lake Country Drive. You'll probably see a vehicle out there that will be taking samples of the road surface. So we can determine the level of road paving that we might have to do after we've completed all the utility work. So I don't have an answer for that yet, but there is a, there's probably a good possibility. We will be doing some paving work in that area. I just don't know. I can't define the scope of that just yet. Okay, that's all we have in the chat. Do y'all have some more questions for Scott? Yes, I do. Okay, Fred, go for it. Yeah, this is Fred Villareal. I live in Sunset Cove. So it's at the bottom of the hill. I walk through the loop around Golf Club and Lake Country pretty much every morning. I notice water coming up through the pavement on Lake Country as well as Golf Club. Generally, is the sewer and water lines down the middle of the road? Basically four lanes wide. Are you going to take out the full four lanes or are you just talking about the equivalent one lane thereabouts? In actuality, based on the record or the GIS system, most of those lines are out of the drive lanes. I mean, and I drove, when I drive through there, I was going, that's a four lane road, but they're on the outside where the white stripe is. So the sewer and water appear not to be in the travel lanes. Now, again, and that's just based on GIS system. And I think Paul's guys did a lot of surveying. So they really think it's on the sides. And if we did that, we probably would not have to close the whole street. We still should have the ability to get people to pass, even if we have to rearrange some of the traffic flow there, but right now I don't anticipate that we should have any full street closures unless there's the only provision I'll put on that is if it's determined that we need to do a street reconstruction on that, and then that changes a little bit. But right now I'm only interested in looking what's over our sewer and water line, but it's on the sides. It is closer to the curb. Okay, now that's good to go and know. And then there are some residents that parked their vehicles overnight. Yes. On the side lanes they'll have to deal with, okay. Yeah, and there may have, you know, you may see orange barricade or maybe barricades and cones out in some areas at night. But that's, you know, and I appreciate that question because that's one that I have, we have been discussing a little bit is how much of the street work are we gonna really have to do on this project? I have another question. Being at the bottom of the hill, everything slides downhill and we have a lift station right there at Sunset Cove. I've lived there since the lift station was replaced. Of course I've got some things about the lift station, but I seem to remember there were some sewage spills that occurred during the replacement that lift station ended up in Eagle Mountain Lake. Will there be provisions to deal with sewage spills during construction to keep sewage out of the lake? Yes, yes, we will have language if we don't already have it in some of our standard phrases, but we will require the contractor to avoid spilling sewage, shall we say. And it may include him having to build a dyke or something like that. We don't anticipate that we're gonna have that issue, hopefully, because we're still discussing, there's means and methods of the construction itself. And hopefully we can avoid, the only thing that we might have to do is some bypass pumping and we would go manhole to manhole with that and hopefully avoid any sewage escaping the area and getting into the lake. But that is something that we pay close attention to. I appreciate it, nobody plans to have a spill. Yeah, no, no. It's more of what do you do to mitigate it? Yeah, and usually it's get a bunch of dirt out there in a hurry and then start working on the repair is to build a dam and then take care of it from there. But again, this will be information that we will discuss with our contractor when we get him on board is some of the items that he needs to be aware of that have occurred out there previously. Sure, and I believe based on the scope that's defined in this presentation, you are not touching the lift station. No.  Yeah, all we're doing is replacing a line and tying into the lift station itself. So we're not working on the lift station itself. Okay, thank you. Okay, Larissa, did you want to bring up your question about groundwater? No, I was trying to answer someone else's about the street because I have groundwater that comes out of the street in front of my house as well. And I had the water department come out and test it to make sure it wasn't city water and it wasn't. We've got a big problem with that. Now, my question was more actually twofold. One, I own the lot adjacent to my home and it's just a tree lot and there's a fire hydrant on the corner. They tap into it, I watched people do it yesterday to fill up trucks for the construction across the street from me. So will they be affecting the fire hydrant on the corner of my property? If so, what will that entail? And two, if you're going to be running through the winter months, having water piped across the ground when we have problems with freezing water, how are we going to keep that?  If it's 19 degrees outside and your water is above ground rather than underground, what happens if we freeze it or lost because of it? Cause it's going to make the water all that much colder coming to the house. So what if it tracks the line? Well, that we addressed. A lot of the reason my comment was we want to keep the water flowing through the pipe because flowing water, it has to get very cold to freeze moving water. And if we have to, we can come up with some other options of how to handle that, anything we can do to keep. And maybe, and I know it's been done before, we've actually buried temporary water line, but that tears up more street and possibly try, and still we're trying to minimize yard tear, but we, that's something we'll discuss with the contractor. And also it may be that we point out those that are like that, the temporary services, ones where we have to have temporary services, you address those first, whereas the main water line in the street, you know, it flows, you know, it's bigger diameter, it's deeper, you know, it's already got some freeze protection that way. So there's some options there to, if we get into the cold months that we made this, the cul-de-sacs may get done before the main line gets done, just to address some of those potential concerns of freezing. Okay. And what about the fire hydrant? The fire hydrant, the contractor may use the fire hydrant to fill his water trucks up with, but- Yeah, no, not that, I wondered if it was gonna be re-piped, like are you gonna be messing with the fire hydrant along with the lines of the regular water? Is it all tied in? Is it tied in? Yes, well, the same water, the same lines you get your water from go to that fire hydrant. So they'll be shutting it off and on as well. But, well, again, they may dig up around it. They may dig up around it, and we have to reconnect the fire hydrant. We also need to check that fire hydrant, I don't know what's age, sometimes we replace the fire hydrant, but again, that would be done in non-winter months or in a non-freezing environment, but there's potential that that fire hydrant, we will have to run new line to the fire hydrant. Okay, that was my question. I didn't care who used it, just the fact that it is a working fire hydrant, and will it be- There will be a period in which a short period while they tie that fire hydrant back in to the new line, it'll be out of service. Okay. Okay, we've got actually a statement from Jeff and Cherie. They said they have two underground springs on their property, and it's runoff gonna be a problem. Jeff, if you wanna talk about it? I guess my question. All right, hello, hold on. There you go. Are you there? Yes, yes. We've got a sun in the background that makes a lot of noise, so that's why we've been here. Don't worry about it. Okay, so I know that the underground springs are not tied into the water stuff, I know that. Right. So it did kinda worry me though, because we do get pretty flooded. So is there gonna be a time where these pipes will be, for some reason, I don't know, is there gonna be any runoff from all this stuff? No, the only runoff you should see from this project will be rainfall. The contractor's responsible basically every day. He's required to cover everything that he's excavated in that day. And the only thing I could see would be a catastrophic failure of a water line and it starts spraying, which I don't think will happen. But no, at the end of the day, he needs to button up his trench, and unless we get some leaks, I don't expect any runoff from the construction. Okay, and they'll let us know if they're gonna be tearing up a yard. Yes, if they need to get in your yard, you will, again, our city inspector and the contractor will contact everybody if they're gonna get in the yard. They're required to do that. Y'all may be the same company or not, I don't know, but we had people drilling holes looking at the pipes probably last fall, and they came off close to a very important tree in our yard. Well, I don't know anything about that. But no, we won't be, we should not be doing any drilling. We should have a backhoe that is working on a water line that's in either the street or in an easement. Okay. And that's their area, confined area of work. Okay, I've seen that happen before, yeah, I get that. So, and no, we certainly will not get in your yard. The only thing we might ever have to get in the yard is if we have to, when we put in a new service line, that's the only thing, and that's nothing, that's a two-inch line or a four-inch line. Right, right. So, no, we should not be around drilling around your trees or anything like that or working around trees, particularly on your property. Now, will this ever, sorry, one more question I think. Will this ever compromise the, what's the word? What's the word? The water quality? Pressure? Mom, I'm not talking pressure. I'm just talking about the quality of your springs. No, I'm talking about quality of the water out of the tap. Is this going to compromise any of that? No, no, it will not. In fact, we're required, and you will, this is another thing that we haven't covered and we'll talk more about this, probably the construction is, they're required to flush and then disinfect and flush and then pull a sample to make sure it meets the state of Texas requirements for drinking water. Okay, because I know we had some work done on the main line there in our yard, so we had to pay for it, which is fine, but they got a lot of dirt in it and it clogged up our sinks and brand new bathroom remodel and it clogged up everything. No, ma'am, before they actually tie your new service in, they have to make sure that that water meets all city and state criteria. Okay, okay. And that requires them to flush, so you may see some dirty water running down the street, but that's being flushed out of the system before we go back and start hooking up services. Okay, okay, thank you. Okay, we've got a question from Jane. She said, so this isn't a four-lane road, it's a two-lane road with a bike lane, so she wants to know if it's going to affect the bike lane. That's a good question. Well, I will tell you that if it is, if there's one area, well, there's areas where the water line is and somewhere the sewer line is, that that lane will probably be impacted from bikes just because of where the water line is and where the sewer line is, it is actually over in that area, based on what I've seen going out to the project site. So, yes, there is an impact that some of the bicycle lanes will be impacted. Okay, I, oh, wait a second, we got another question. All right. Liz, one more question. What's the notation for the planning? The trail range cork cul-de-sac, the water, you hit a spring of water and within a few feet of the digging. Oh, it's immediate. The water over here is you dig and water flows in from the sides of the hole when you get about two feet down. Okay, contractor will have to handle that flow. And pump it out. And pump it out, yes. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, they will have to deal and if that means they have to put a pump, dig a hole and put a pump in to pump water out while they're installing the water line, that's what they'll have to do. And that's something, well, so we can talk about that in our pre-construction, our pre-construction. This is not the Chris talk. I might want to ask him about that. Okay, okay, I've missed someone's question. So Chris wants to know how deep the water and sewer lines are. I'd say the water line is probably three to four feet deep, maybe a little deeper. The sewer line, the depth vary since it's a gravity line, it gets deeper as it approaches that lift station. And it could be as much as nine to 10 feet deep, maybe even 12 foot deep. So again, again, there'll be trench safety requirements. And so it'll probably be, you'll probably see some boxes and things like that from a trench safety standpoint. But yes, we try the water line is, should be, I'd say three to four feet deep or that much cover over it, but the sewer line is deeper because it is falling. It's going that direction towards that lift station. We say again, what we're doing with the lift station. We're doing nothing with the lift station. We have a pipe that we're replacing outside of the lift station with a larger diameter pipe and tying it back into a pipe that's coming from the lift station. Okay. We are not, we're not working on the lift station itself. Okay. All right. Those are all questions in the chat, Larissa. Oh yeah, I had one more, it came to mind. And now that it's my turn, it's going away. Where was it? Oh, Dagnabbit. Sewer lift stations. It was, oh, being on the end or the beginning, will, when the project is going on, will they complete a section and move on or will it be, will the cul-de-sac be tore up from start to finish and they fix it all at the same time it's the end? Okay. So that's a good question because I will tell you how I normally would guess the contractor would do this is that he will go cul-de-sac by cul-de-sac, place the water line and do the services. He will then temporary backfill everything because he's going to have a separate contractor come in and do the asphalt work. And it's easier if they do those all at the same time, all at once. So we may have cul-de-sacs that need to be paved that are done and then he's going to bring his asphalt contractor in to do that or, and I'm guessing it's asphalt, so. But they do the work, they replace the pipe, they take away the temporary one and they move on. Yes, they move on and that'll be the, and then they'll bring, they have to, basically it's, they'll have two or three crews. One is the water guy, one's the sewer guy and one's the paving guy. And the paving guy's usually the last guy on the project. Now that could be changed because, you know, we discussed that and maybe they want to come in and pave, they want to finish with the cul-de-sac and they come in and do that cul-de-sac when it's done and then wait for the next one. I don't know. That gets also into the means and methods of the con with the contractor. Yeah, I was more worried about the, the temporary water line is being exposed for nine months. Now the temporary water line, once the new water line's in, it passes back T, we're tying your new services in. When they go on. Yes. Okay, okay, okay. And actually the lot adjacent to me that I own has a meter on it, but no home. So I assume that they'll also take care of that meter even though- If there's a- I don't think there's anything in that box now that I think about it. So if there's a service line going to that meter box, they would replace that service line. But if there's nothing in it, they will not put the meter in. There will not, nothing will be done. No. Okay. Yeah. That makes sense. Nope, that's it for me. She guys have some great questions. Yes, she did. I think that's the best meeting we've had in a long time. Okay. It's all scary. It's all scary. Hey Sally, you beat the one in which we've sat there for five minutes and nobody showed up and no questions. Oh my goodness. True. That's true. Okay, Scott, can you go back to the page that shows page 18? Oh, okay. Thank you. I'm glad you got that number. Yes, that right there. Yeah. Where I can get more information. So as to where that, how to type it in, it'll probably still show the meeting. So you want to click on the one that just says project page. And remember if you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page, you can click on subscribe to this page. Now someone asked me yesterday because I was updating the pages and they said, well, can't you tell us what you updated? Our web provider doesn't do that. It just tells you there is an update. So you kind of have to look at it and go, well, did they change the timeline? Did they change the status? Did they, but it doesn't tell you what was changed. It just tells you the page was updated. Okay. So our best way for information. Yes. If you can, this is Thursday. We should have the video. We turn this WebEx presentation into a YouTube video. We should have that up by Monday. And I should be able to get a PDF of this PowerPoint up there by tomorrow. Thanks Sally, I'll show my kids what I actually do for a living. Thank you everybody, appreciate it. Thank you. Thank y'all. Have a great weekend. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.


Well, it's very moving for me to be here. Graduands, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, it's a great honor and a pleasure to be with you all today as we celebrate the achievements of SOA students and pay tribute to the support of family and friends. Graduation is always a special time. We all regret that our President, Dane Grassa-Machel is unable to be with us this year, but it gives me a wonderful opportunity to again be part of a unique SOAS occasion. I have a special affection for SOAS. More than 50 years ago, I was allowed to use the library and to take books home, even though I wasn't a student. I was working on a cookbook on Middle Eastern food, and there I found the history and the cultures that shaped the cuisines I was researching. It was a great honor then to be invited to become an honorary fellow more than half a century later and recently to give a centenary lecture about the role of food in culture. I keep being drawn to SOAS by talks on Middle East and on food and by events in the Jewish Music Institute. SOAS is one of the finest universities in the world, truly global in scope and reach with its distinct specialist knowledge of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. It offers a truly distinctive opportunity for students and academic staff to experience every day the interaction, connectivity, and exposure which is a microcosm of today's world. For more than 100 years, SOAS has been at the forefront of specialist scholarship on the languages, cultures, societies, politics, and economics of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. It's rare to find a place with such a rich diversity of cultures and backgrounds, and where learning and critical thinking are nurtured and enhanced. What makes SOAS particularly special is its global perspective. Our world needs people who can build bridges across communities and cultures and really make a difference. And you now have the, you graduands now have the tools to do that. As a Jew from Arab lands who has known happy times in the Muslim world and experienced the pain and dislocation of forced displacement, I know how important those bridges are. I was born in Egypt and have only happy memories of my childhood there. The Egypt I knew was a cosmopolitan and multicultural society. There were long standing communities of Jews, Armenians, Greeks, Italians, Syrians, and Lebanese living among the Muslim and Coptic population. The royal family was an Ottoman-Albanian dynasty and the aristocracy was Turkish. The Jewish community was itself a mosaic of families from all over the old Ottoman Empire that had joined the ancient indigenous community. Three of my grandparents came from Aleppo where my great-grandfather was the chief rabbi. My maternal grandmother was from Istanbul. People spoke many languages and French was the lingua franca. Whilst we all had our own separate identities, we shared a space and a time in history and we shared a culture. The way we befaved towards each other, kindly, respectfully, graciously, the way we laughed and told jokes, the way we entertained, hospitality was all important. We got on and enriched each other's lives. I might even say we loved each other, some of us at least. I have to be careful what I say. An Israeli newspaper translated into Hebrew that I said we adored each other. Well, I was studying art in London when the Jews had to leave Egypt on Mars in 1956 after the Suez Crisis and my parents arrived as refugees leaving everything behind. My life was swamped with waves of relatives and friends. Everyone wondering where to go, which country would allow them to settle. People were asking each other for recipes in a desperate kind of way.  I might never see you again. It will be something to remember you by. There had been no cookbooks. Recipes had been handed down in families. That is when I started collecting recipes. It was my way of holding on to my lost world, of keeping ties with people that I would be losing. After years of collecting from many sources, when I told English friends that I was working on a Middle Eastern cookbook, some would say, is it going to be eyeballs and testicles? And why don't you paint? Because I had been at art school. London was not then the world capital of gastronomy it is today. Food in Britain was horrible at the time. I can say it now because it's all changed. Being a chef was the lowest job. Writing about food, the lowest thing. Talking about food, embarrassing. And no one wanted to cook anything from the Middle East. I put bits of history, poems, riddles and stories in among the recipes so that readers would realize that the food was part of a rich and beautiful civilization. And they might then like to cook some of it. So it was a surprise to read in the Guardian in 2013 that 41% of homes in the UK had hummus in their fridge. It might be more than 41% today. What started for me as a labor of love that made us happy became a way of discovering the world. I traveled around the Mediterranean. I tasted everything I could and asked everybody I met what their favorite dishes were. It gave me a reason to as a woman traveling alone to accost people on a train, in a restaurant, on a bench and to engage them in conversation. I'm an English food writer researching your cuisine. People were glad to talk about their food and their lives were stranger. They didn't always believe I was English though. They sometimes invited me home to eat and let me watch while they cooked. Eating delicious food and the special conviviality around food is one of the great joys of life. But part of the pleasure of researching food has been for me getting to know people and being part of their lives for a moment. It opened doors. I discovered that food had the power to bring people together and make them feel loved and valued. That it had the power to celebrate identity and at the same time build bridges and create bonds between people and different communities. I'm not telling you to be a chef or a food writer but you can do worse than learn to cook. There are many ways though to build bridges. I use food. You are equipped with languages and many other wonderful tools to break barriers and build bridges. My advice to you for a happy and successful life is to do what you love and to be true to yourself. Achieve great things and have fun. Be rich and famous if you want but don't forget love and kindness and being human. What will bring you most happiness and fulfillment is a life with meaning and purpose. Build bridges when you can and you can change the world. Congratulations to each and every one of our graduands. You will always be part of SOAS and SOAS will always be part of you.


Hi everybody, Andrea Trowsky here. I have owned Dental L Tutoring since 2005. So I actually started my tutoring business when I was 19 years old. Fast forward and it is amazing. I love what I do and I love helping students. Let me go over the Dental L Student Academy for you. So I have a separate one for dental hygiene students and also another one for dental assisting students because I actually started off as a dental assistant and a dental receptionist. I went through schooling, all of that and then I became a dental hygienist, a restorative hygienist after that and then now I have my own mobile dental hygiene practice. So it's really nice to work for myself and I tutor of course as well. But with the Dental L Student Academy, I'm going to give you guys a sneak peek inside the course. So what it is is you want the Dental L Student Academy if you are just starting your program in school or if you're already in your program and you just need the extra help. This is not meant to prepare you for the board exam. I have a separate course for that. But of course you could use all of this material to prep for the board exam as well if you wanted to. But there's so much inside the Student Academy because what it is is you will see PowerPoints on every single topic. You will see me teaching you lecture videos on every topic and also mock exam and case studies questions to help prepare you. And the nice thing about the Student Academy is if you're in school and you need help on a certain topic, you can email me and say, you know, Andrea, we're doing pharmacology in school right now. I don't understand neoplasms or I don't understand this. I don't understand that. Can you help me? Then I can help you. So I'm kind of like your own personal tutor that you don't have to pay per hour for. I'm just there for you when you need help. So it's amazing. You pay a one time fee for two years and it includes everything. So let me give you guys a little sneak peek. If you go to the website at dental l.com, you will see the Dental Assisting Student Academy and there's another one for dental hygiene. I'm just going to give you guys a sneak peek right now inside the Dental Assisting Student Academy so you can kind of see what it's all about. So as I mentioned before, I'm like your own personal tutor. So I remember when I was in school, if I needed additional help with the topic, I would have to ask my instructor and they did offer additional tutoring for you, but it was at $60 per hour. I don't know about you guys, but I couldn't afford $60 per hour as a student. I can't even afford it now. Who wants to spend $60 an hour? I can help you guys and do all of that for you. So this is what it looks like when you go to the website at dental l.com. Look under the Dental L Student Academy. But let me show you guys a sneak peek inside the program. So when you log in, this is in a preview mode. So if you're inside the course now, it might look a little bit different for you. But just to give you guys an idea, look at all of the different modules that you have and any videos that I do in 2023 and 2022, you have full access to. So even if you sign up today and you want to listen to me teaching you a pharmacology lecture, but I'm not doing another one for three months, you can watch our previous class recording from this year and also from last year. Or let's say you sign up today and say, oh, you know what, I'm having trouble with the intraoral and the extra oral exam part of it. I don't understand how to do the oral cancer screenings. Well, I have a PowerPoint for you and I also have a previously recorded lecture video. So it's all there for you. You can look at it anytime. It's basically learn at your own pace. You can pick and choose which modules you want to go through. So just to kind of show you guys a little bit here, these are our previous session recordings from 2023 to 2022. Depending on when you're watching the video, they're always two years prior. So sorry, of the current year and then of the last year, you get all of those and you can watch them anytime. And then let's say as an example, here's the dental assisting profession module. Here's different PowerPoints for you to look at. And then what about dental sciences, all of the different PowerPoints on dental sciences. There's anatomy, nerves, histology, all of that. Let's just go into dental anatomy for the fun of it. You just have to click. There's a PDF for you here. It takes a second to upload. Let me just show you that. So just as an example, here are what the PowerPoints are going to look like for you. Some of them are in a PDF format. Some are in PowerPoints and some are in Google Slides. But then what about oral health prevention? You will see different PowerPoints here. So look at all of the different modules, you guys. There's tons here. Now, of course, I don't know exactly what you're learning when you're learning it. It depends on when you sign up. Some programs might have, let's just say, dental anatomy in the first semester. Others might have dental anatomy in the third semester. So depending on what semester you are in, as you can see here, you can just pick and choose what you want to look at first. So let's say you're learning about x-rays next semester. You might not want to jump through and look at this module yet. You might want to go down to your first semester stuff first. So let's say you're learning about dental admin and communication, then you would want to go here first to look at the PowerPoints. And then let's say this semester, you're also learning about, whoops, dental materials, then you would go through that module. So let's learn at your own pace and you can pick and choose what you want to look at. But again, as an addition to the program, if you need help, even if you have gone through all of the dental materials inside the course, you're learning about it in school now, you can email me or we have a private Facebook group for members only. You can post in there saying, I'm learning about dental bridges and dental implants now. I don't understand this and this, can somebody help me? Or can Andrea, can you help me? I will get back to you right away. If you still don't understand, then I will do a pre-recorded video for you where I kind of talk to you like I'm doing now and I explain it to you. There's no additional cost to that. So it's an amazing course. This is for students who are currently in their dental assisting or dental hygiene program or who are about to start their program and want to get a good head start. Trust me, I wish I had this when I was a student, I would have really appreciated the extra help. But back then the online learning wasn't really a thing. I don't even think email was a thing back then. So things have really changed. So let me know you guys if you have any questions. I did give you guys a sneak peek of the Dental Assisting Student Academy in this one. There will be another video where I will do a sneak peek inside the Dental Hygiene Student Academy. It's the same thing, but you're obviously learning about Dental Hygiene Curriculum, not the Dental Assisting Curriculum, because it's different. And if there's any questions, you guys let me know. You can see the full course at the website at dentall.com. Just look for the Dental L Student Academy. And of course email me if you have questions. There's also a chat feature now on the website at dentall.com. So thank you guys for watching and I'll see you in the next one.
