Mark DeLarducci, Secretary of California Emergency Management Agency and we're here at the State Operations Center in Sacramento. What's prompted the State Operations Center and the activity we're seeing here? Well we had an earthquake swarm down in Imperial County, principally in the area of the city of Barali this morning that had resulted in a couple of large earthquakes and several moderate earthquakes. And this earthquake swarm caused some damage in the Imperial area and we are responding here at the State Operations Center in support of Imperial County. The seismologists said that this isn't the predictor of the big one, it's not on the southern tip of the San Andreas, it's different, it's a swarm of earthquakes. But it still causes concern for you and for emergency managers and why is that? Absolutely, anytime that there's a swarm of earthquakes that could cause things to fall off shelves, ceiling tiles to fall from the ceiling, anything that could cause injury or death, it is of concern. So from the public safety standpoint, this earthquake swarm, we just want to make sure that people understand how complex it is and how safe they can be in preparing for the earthquakes as they occur. So you didn't just come down here because you saw that there was a 5.3 or 5.5 earthquake, it was because there was some discussions beforehand that talked about maybe the potential to let people know that there's a greater, you know, give them an advisor. Yeah, we actually have a very established protocol set forth in the state of California where we convene the scientific community here from the USGS, from the California Geological Survey, from Caltech and the other higher universities, institutions to be able to address what the meaning of these earthquakes are. And so when we see a swarm like this or multiple earthquakes occur in an area, we're concerned, what does it mean for potential for greater earthquakes? In this case, we've learned that this earthquake swarm, which produced a magnitude 5.5, could conceivably produce another 5.5 or possibly even up to a 6. And so because of that, we want to make sure that all of the citizens are aware of this, the public safety agencies are aware of this, and if they need to put preparedness messages out so that it minimizes any future or potential injuries that may occur. So if I'm a resident in Brawley and I felt this, or let's say I'm not a resident in Brawley and I'm there and I feel this, should I be concerned about that? What steps should I take? What should I do?  And there probably will be over the next 24 hours, up to several weeks to a month or so. So, you know, citizens should prepare for this. You should take things, secure things that are what we call non-structural or items that are on your shelf, either secure them in place or take them off the shelf for this period of time. You should have a family plan in place. You have some supplies. If we do get a larger earthquake that impacts the water supply or the power supply, you want to be able to have some supplies in your home to be able to have power, have water, have food, and know where your family members are, you know, whether your children are at school, what the school's procedures are, how to reach out to them in case you need to go reach them, and know, maybe have a radio with fresh batteries or a power cranked radio so that you always have power in that radio so you can get important messages from the government. So, what are the folks behind you doing? These folks here are, we're activated here in the State Operations Center to work with Imperial County through our Regional Operations Center in Southern California. And they're continuing to assess what the needs may be of Imperial County, whether they need water support or helicopter support, whatever the case may be. The way this design is the State Operations are in support of what's happening through our Regional Centers in the South and through the County of Imperial itself that's been impacted by the earthquakes.


Hello Oscillator Sync here and happy mini freak firmware update day to all those who celebrate because yes indeed today Arturia have released the 2.0 firmware for the mini freak It's available right now and you can install it by making use of the mini freak v software There is I think probably one big headliner edition in this firmware Which is the addition of the wave table oscillator type and we will get to that Later on in the video But there are a bunch of other things that I want to Highlight to you first because I think often with these updates There's like one big new thing and these sort of little useful things that have also been added Kind of slip under the radar a little bit and there's some real Corkers in this one that enhance what you can do some which are Actually fairly big deals and some which are just sort of quality of life things Yeah So in this video we're going to go through all of the interesting things that have been added in this firmware update The first thing I'll mention is not necessarily an update to the mini freak itself However, Arturia have launched the mini freaks sound store Which allows you to get new presets for your mini freak? You can get them all via the mini freak v software. It's in the main menu. You'll find it up at the top and At launch there's a combination of paid for and free patch packs I think there's two big paid for packs and then three I think Smaller free packs and I'm excited to say that one of the free packs is one that I made for Arturia earlier this year And I'm really proud of the sounds that are in there. So I hope you can check the one out So it's free. I'll do a video in the next couple of days going through the sounds from my back in there Yes, I'm going to check out the sound store and see if there's any New patches that you can grab for your mini freak that you like sound off I guess we'll carry on now with what's probably the second biggest update in this firmware Which is that we have a new effect type called super unison. So I have a basic Interesting quarter a basic polypad going on here and if we turn on the super unison, which is in effects slot one It sounds like this lovely and Wide sounding so what this is doing is it's duplicating our sound six times in DSP It's applying moving detune to each of them and then it's spreading out each of those duplicates across the stereo range Which kind of gets us in a similar sort of place as we can get with some other synths which have stereo Vca's for spreading out the voices although it's a little bit different Yes so as with all of our effects we have our three knobs here which affect various different parameters I'll start with The amount of actually because this is our wet dry mix and if we turn it all the way down it is Just our original sound and we can start to mix in that unison so if that first example was a little bit aggressively wide We can just mix in a little bit of this sound Which I think is really nice since I kind of prefer this used a bit more subtly for a lot of patches especially a patch like this But we can of course make it more aggressive And this is a wet dry mix so at the full amount here our original dry sound is Completely gone And so the mono part of our sort of stereo spread the mono image has kind of disappeared a little bit Which could actually be useful in a mix if you've got like another sound going down the middle So this is kind of got rid of that middle part of the sound I'll just put it somewhere Sensible for a second The middle knob here is a filter that is applied just to the unison signal At the center point there's no filtering going on if you go down from the centering point from the center point Sorry, we're going to apply a low pass filter. So You can hear that our unison sounds are getting darker But our dry sound is not so we've still got that That's our dry sound which is quite a lot brighter than our unison tube cuts now Of course, this is modulated as well. So you could Do that kind of thing in the mod matrix, which might be really cool actually Absolutely that bit later when we're making a patch going above the center point we're going to high pass instead So these are both ways for us to move the unison sound a bit out of the way of our main sound Can I get sort of airy? Sort of just fuzz around our sounds quite nice It'd be nice with a bit of reverb on it, I think So I'll just put that back into the middle again Our time knob is going to affect the detune amount. So down at the bottom We get almost this comb filtering sound because there's so little difference between the duplicates Quite cool sound though actually Nice odd glassiness to it as we turn it up we get more detune introduced And we kind of move through sort of more flangy type sounds through chorusy type sounds And then as we're up in the sort of final quarter we're sort of obviously out of tune I think there's a wider modulation being applied as well So that's pretty aggressive with a little bit of low pass Maybe just dining it back a little bit There's probably some interesting patches that you can make around that sort of area So the other thing we have here as we do on all of our other effects are the different subtypes as Well and some of these are quite interesting actually so let me just get to kind of like a decent midway point So we can definitely hear what it's doing Yeah, just just short of being seasick. I think so this mode that we're currently on here is called classic The next one is ravey. So I'm just to compare here's classic Sorry Here's classic and here's ravey So ravey pulls out quite a lot of the bottom end. It's not the same vibe as the high pass filter It's almost like a slight resonance to the way it's pulled stuff out The next one is called solely which kind of goes the other way and goes darker So compared to classic is classic It's solely It's not as wide either It's actually really nice. I think this is my favorite mode as it happens It's easy to get this one to sit more nicely with a patch This next one is called slow Which kind of does what you'd expect the modulation to the detune is slower Some nice or tight weird room sounds with a low detune with this one This one feels very 80s to me these next few are interesting and what they appear to do is a Wait for a signal to come into the effect and then increase the depth of various parts of the effect as we go So it's probably easier if I just turn the amount of a little bit here I'll just make the detune a bit more obvious as well So if you listen carefully When I first play a note It's not that detuned and then it gets more detuned afterwards now. It's worth bearing in mind that these effects are Applied across the whole keyboard, so it's not going to be able to do this sort of per note that you play So if I play a chord and then play another note on top of it It's already going to be sitting within that deeper detune. I find this one a little interesting because it kind of has that I Know this is Don't remember those cow toys. It's all they got When you turn them over kind of makes that sound when you trigger it and I'm not sure if I'm totally into that Like it's really obvious on deeper detunes It sounds more like a flange on low-end detunes Yeah, a bit of an odd one So that's slow trig we also have wide trig Which I think also applies more of the stereo panning as it as the note plays It starts quite mono Still get the cow sound though We have a mono version of this one as well I kind of wish there was just a straight up mono version without this trig thing going on So it has some weird behaviors when it's in mono So I kind of just like a standard mono one perhaps in the next update will get that and we finally have this one called wavy And This one sounds not as wide as like the classic Even it's almost like it's doing like some sort of phase inversion or something Quite like this one for more subtle things as well So we have various different flavors here. Some of them are more extreme and some of them are more subtle I prefer the subtle ones as it goes, but that's just me We do also of course have a bunch of effects which allow us to widen things a little bit as well As here's the dry sound again And here's super unison Probably the closest contemporary to this is going to be the chorus You can hear it's quite different vibe much more of a swirly thing going on there and not as obviously Stacked voices. It's more kind of trying to emulate that so chorus Super unison We also have the phaser Obviously, it's a very different vibe in terms of spreading things out But certainly a lot more subtle than chorus or super unison and some of the modes are slightly more obviously stereo than the others next space Makes things more obviously stereo. We also have the flanger Which obviously sounds like a flanger And again doesn't give you that kind of voice stacking thing. So it's definitely a useful new sort of entirely Unique thing in terms of what was currently offered on the minifreak. So a welcome addition Right next we'll look at what might be considered kind of quite a minor quality of life thing But I think it could be quite a big deal when it comes to finessing more performable patches on the minifreak and it's all to do with the macro assignments So for those of you aren't aware on the minifreak the macro sliders Which we select by pressing this button here allow us to control multiple parameters on the minifreak Or using one slider and those parameters can be moving by different amounts They could be going in different directions and to assign something we go into a sign mode by doing shift and macro We choose which of these two strips are working with I'll just work with this first one And then generally speaking what you do is you turn one of the knobs To select a depth So that's who wanted to modulate to the cutoff frequency of the filter down when we move the slider And there it is assigned there as a macro and then we can assign other things that could all be moving at the same time I'll just remove that for a second The one blind spot that the macros had however Was that you couldn't use them to control the depth of a modulation assigned in the mod matrix? But in this new version you can so let me give you an example of that So let's say on this patch, which is just using the noise engineering saw X. I wanted to maybe affect the Wave control to get that sort of faux sync sound that would come into our mod matrix We go to we'll use the cycling envelope for this wave one and we get to that amount up We can all do synth mouth together Which is a cool sound, but let's say that we wanted to control the depth of that modulation using the macro controls, so I'll turn this down To begin with and the way that it works is this You start by selecting which one of these slots that you want to control in the mod matrix, which is our wave one here We go into this assign here make sure on the right slider, and then we tap on to here to Select the cycling envelope to wave amount here and we can turn this up not all the way using the edit knob here and now We have control over that mod matrix slot as a macro this actually opens up a bunch of ways for you to Build your macros around having performable modulations, especially when you're making use of the sequencer that can be quite Transformative so as I say it feels like like a minor quality of life thing. I think this is secretly Kind of a big deal on this update, especially if you're doing sort of more in-depth sound design on the minifreak Right, so just one last thing I want to talk about before we get on to the main event And this again feels like a kind of a minor thing kind of a quality of life thing But it does allow you to do something that you couldn't do on the previous firmware on the minifreak And this is in regards to the wave shaper on the LFO So on the minifreak, we have a good range of LFO shapes or the standard stuff you would expect to maybe see But we also have this thing called the wave shaper which allows you to draw your own LFO shapes or Kind of it did on the old firmware Because it you couldn't kind of draw your own LFO shapes I'll show you what I mean now so I've made a little LFO shape here I'll just go into the edit page so you can see I've done it just on the hardware and I've built this kind of multi-stage Triangle kind of a quantized triangle step triangle type thing, which is a cool sound sort of semi-sumplen holdy, but not really And This is the problem. So if I Come across to say a triangle wave and let's assign LFO one to the wave On the oscillator here so they can hear the harmonics Be modulated and you can hear how fast they're going well well well well well so the expectation if I go over to my Changing the rate there So the expectation there is off if I go across to my wave shaper We should be getting a little little little kind of thing, but we don't we get this much slower movement instead The reason for this is that previously on the mini freak each step of the wave shaper would last as long as an entire Oscillation of the LFO. So this is a 16 step wave shaper So it's actually effectively running 16 times slower than the original LFO Which is fine if you're trying to sort of sequence something But not if you're trying to define an actual LFO shape So what we have in this new version if we come into the sound edit down to LFO and Down to shape a one rate or shape a two rate depending on which LFO you're using There's now an option to go between one step, which is the default behavior and all steps and now if I press a key We can hear my steps at triangle wave here running at the same rate as say The sine wave So what this essentially means is that we can now define our own custom LFO shapes that run at the same rate As the standard LFO But now yes It is time for the main event and that is that we now have a wavetable oscillator type on the mini freak We will get into listening to it in just a second But I want to start by managing Expectations because there are some things to be aware of here So the first thing is that this is factory wavetables This is not the user wavetable functionality that we have on the micro freak I have no inside information about whether that is something that is coming I would guess it probably is but take that with all of the salt in the world because I have no Insider information into that the other thing that it is worth bearing in mind is that this Is an oscillator type that introduces some more asymmetry Between the two oscillators that we have on the mini freak because you can only have this on oscillator one So as it stands you can't have two Instances of wavetables running at once to sort of blend them together between the two oscillators not at the moment again Who knows whether that's something that will be added in the future? But that's where we are at the moment Okay, let's jump into actually using this oscillator type So we're here on an initialized patch I've just given the amp a little bit of a release there and We will get over to our wavetables as mentioned we have to be on oscillator one for this So we'll scroll across to the end wavetable here. We are and We're now listening to a wavetable as I mentioned There are a bunch of different factory wavetables and we'll get to that in a second Let's just talk about what our three controls are doing. So probably the most Important one is the wave control here, which is going to scan through our wavetable And you can hear that we smoothly interpolate between the different parts of the wavetable rather than stepping which is really lovely And lends itself to doing sort of LFO movements in there Just move it up into the wavetable a little bit. The timbre control is pulse width Which is really really interesting because it gets a lot of extra mileage out of our each each wave So something quite sort of sign-like We can get loads of extra harmonics in there and if we find something richer We kind of get our standard Pulse width kind of vibe there Which is really lovely to have on the shape control we have a filter and in as is the case on a lot of The filter controls and the main filter control on the mini freak. It's bipolar. So at the moment It's sort of locked into the middle So we're not getting any filtering if we go positive from here We'll start to apply a high-pass filter to the wave Back to the middle and then below here will start to have a low pass to darken things So within that sort of one wavetable we have a lot of stuff that we can get through here Now as I mentioned there are a bunch of different wavetables and to select them You hold down shift and as long as you're on the wavetable Oscillator you can turn the type knob and that will give you access to all of the other wavetables here and there are a bunch, I think it's 32 to begin with So there's a load in there for you to Take a listen to the other way you can do this instant late Although I don't know why you would is in the sound edit and in the oscillator and then in the wavetable select But that's a lot of extra button presses when you could just be Shift and type now pro tip if you want to preview all of these different wavetables What you can do is if we have a wave set in the middle like that and if we Assign a triangle LFO make sure on triangle here LFO one to wave And to a depth of 50, maybe slow it down a little bit So that's this current wavetable that are on now And if we hold a note here Now we are free to go through the different wavetables and audition them Actually tell the right not be good That's dying for some reverb Well, it's chewy Some cool harmonics in that one Kind of a fake sync sound It's called croak quite froggy. It's called elastic. It's got a lovely stringy Twang at the top there. That's cool the classic sounding way table of that one Cool aggressive stuff at the top there. That's crunchy. It's kind of like a wave folder type sound wall That's cool. Another fake sync kind of thing That's such a classic wavetable trick to have something aggressive right at the end there. Yeah, classic harmonics Yeah, I'm like serious, but it sounds really nice because you're blending between them as you go Okay, so kind of a vocal kind of thing But that's calling start to move the timer as well ringy overtones loads of movement in between rather than being like a Like that one a lot. That's really cool. Just nice overtones over the top of the fundamental The most classic kind of wavetable sound like that's what I think of when I hear a wavetable okay, so like a Resonant filter sort of within the oscillator that'd be really cool to free up the filter to do other stuff Just a phase phased saw Can really classic sort of ringy over tone wave table sound. That's chill That's really pretty with that just ringing harmonic Yeah, that's that's our lot there now you would have noticed as I moved between them there was kind of some glitching and And that kind of maybe suggests another slight downside here Which is that the wavetable selection is not currently something that's modulatable There is kind of a gap as they get loaded in Which is a shame because that would have been something that's really nice to modulate But we can still jump between parts of a single wavetable so we can still get this sort of steppy sounds as well One of the things that Arturia have said is that these wavetables are a much higher resolution than the ones on the micro freak Which you know may or may not be something that is a good thing for you because sometimes that sort of grittiness is Kind of a desirable thing, but there are ways that we can introduce that and maybe we'll take a look at that Let's build A patch using this new oscillator type Okay, let's start by choosing a wavetable. I think the one I would want to use is one that's called scowl Just because it has that really classic wavetable Overtone thing and we'll get rid of our LFO there on the Yeah, as long as we can get done with that. Okay So the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to actually come across to oscillator 2 and I'm going to use the destroy mode Just to There goes the fork just to Add some kind of bit crushing and rather sample rate reduction and bit rate reduction bit reduction. I should say just to Reduce some of the fidelity here And then just bring my filter down to hide that a little bit. Let's get a little bit of envelope going on that filter Let's use our cycling envelope for that just in envelope mode and we'll Cycling envelope to cut off and let's get that wave control Let's get that moving with the cycling envelope first of all, but perhaps we'll have it moving with something else as well So it's like an envelope to wave a little bit Like a super amount or anything Let's get that pulse width control moving slowly I think So we'll go LFO one to the timer control Sustain up right. Let's bring in our CPU innocent here Let's Grab this Okay, here we go. There it is That's a bit much a little bit of the high pass I'm going to put Aftertouch into the filter as well, so we just make sure that the Okay, that's just on the aftertouch now so fellow after touch or just after touch in this case And then what I think would be cool is if there was like a a kind of tweaking of that wavetable position. So let's use a tempo-synced exponential saw probably, I think. How'd that go into the wavetable? It's LFO 2-to-wave. AM, sanderwave is dead. That's so cool. Yeah, and we could assign this to the macro. Assign, can we actually? Now that we can assign stuff in the mod matrix to that.  It was 80 or something, and then here we'll turn it back down. Oh, it was only 40. Oh, we've got the way now. So now... Yeah. Let's add some delay to that, and we'll go ping-pong. Ping-pong sync. The one downside of the superunison, is it? It's so stereo that makes other stereo effects seem less stereo. I guess we add some reverb to that as well, right? Shall we try a different wavetable just to see what it sounds like? That's one of the great things about having these wavetables. Just take some of that top end off of the actual wavetable. Oh, there's lovely harmonics. It's almost like there's an arpeggiator. Yeah, so there's loads of cool sounds that we can be finding in here. Anyway, yeah, so there's a little patch making use of some of the new features here. The wavetable also is obviously a really welcome addition to the arsenal. It would be great if we could have it on both sides, I think, but at the moment that's not something we have the option to do, which is a shame. But at least we have the superunison to make it sound a lot wider than it is. So anyway, I hope that was a useful summary of the new features in this firmware.

No, it's dead. Full reset. Do nothing now until Pev is back. Yeah, maybe we can kill. Druid and I, Druid has trinket back. We can't. We have to CC War it. Yeah, we're gonna do this. I CC now. I'm gonna fade, Druid. Just go drink. Where is this shit? It's not there yet. Yeah, I'm running to drink now. I'm very far away, okay? Sure. Drinking. Just keep lining. You're fine. I'm gonna drink now. Full gain reset. I'm gonna stop Druid. He's up to me. I see what he's on. Yep. He's going to eat this one. But he's not gonna eat. I believe.  Yo, yo, can you CC Druid, maybe? We'll get trinket if you do it. I'm drinking, I'm drinking, I'm drinking. Can you trinket? I'm raising the pet. Slow hunter. Slow hunter, slow hunter. Slow hunter, slow hunter. I'm fair on Druid. They don't see, they don't see. Just come to me, come to me. Yeah, yeah. I'm trying, I'm trying. Are you drinking? Here is my root. Here is my root. I'm serious. I'm drinking. I see, you're drinking, okay? Yeah, yeah. Nice. Keep your dress. Can I have this mana? I'm druid, no trinket. Yeah, we can't do this. Good night. Go and drink here a bit. Thank you for your help. I'm resisting.  I can't wait one minute. I'm drinking. Yeah, that's all. Druid has no trinket. If I can't summon Hau, if I drop warrior, it will be HP. You can make go on him, okay? Yeah, okay. I'm going to just reflect back here a bit. Is this wish we can think they're mashing him? Yeah, I'm going to PS. I see the druid, I see the druid now. Try to win with this one. Use shard of hint every time. I see him shot. Nice. Can I pull him shot? If you're off. I shoot after you. Yeah, yeah, I will. I can MC off as well. Yeah. Please don't resist. He hit me for pillar because it's... Because it's...  And I can't... Can you just put slow trap or anything? I burn druid. You still can win. I have CC for him soon. Push him, push him. Okay, okay, okay, okay. I'm going, I'm going, I'm going. Okay, in the win. Can you block it? Great, great, great. I'm trying to scout now. Scatter, trying to trap. Ignite, ignite. I'm trying to... I'm trying to... He didn't hit.  I'm full hit. It's not any damage.   Unbelievable.  How does he break his own period? Oh my god. Oh my god. My eyes.

We have Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan talking about shades of black and what does black even mean? I'll show you the video clip of that. People are freaking out. It turns out that a lot of musicians are leaving Spotify not because of COVID, but they're leaving Spotify because of this one minute segment that I will show you on Joe Rogan. We got President Biden announcing to the world that he intends his next nominee to be a black woman. That's it, a black woman, best black woman he can find nominee for the Supreme Court. Not the best judge, not the best person, not the most ideologically sound whatever his ideology is, no, it's going to be a black woman. And of course, this is not the first time we had, we had presidents say, and I think Trump said this, that he wants to nominate a woman, and we've had nominated an African American, and now it's this particular category. And we had Elia Shapiro, Elia Shapiro, we'll talk about Elia in a little while, comment on that. And because of an ill-worded tweet is now on administrative leave, while an investigation is being mounted, as if you had to investigate, the tweet is like only so many characters, you can figure out what it says. So it's, so Elia is now, and I know Elia is a good guy, and he has now kind of been, and as a sit-in, this is in Georgetown University, a sit-in, to demand that he just be fired and kicked out. And then, just if you thought things weren't crazy enough, and then Whoopi Goldberg, on the view, from the view, on the view, said something about the Holocaust not really being about race, because it wasn't about black and white. And then she apologized, and she said, well when I think about race, the context is black and white, and I know why people offended and I apologize, and she has been put on leave, forced leave from the view for two weeks, and she's furious about this, she's been canceled, how dare they cancel Whoopi Goldberg, and she is threatening to leave the view. There's a tragedy for you.  All of this is just insanity, insanity, and brings to the forefront the whole question of what is race, does it exist, is it important, why does it matter, is Whoopi right, maybe the Holocaust wasn't about race, certainly it wasn't about skin color, or is Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan right, and in a sense, they don't say this, race is a fiction. So that's what we're going to talk about today, and all in the context of it, I want to say this upfront, and I'll repeat this as we go, because I think it's important. An important context here is that discrimination against people of different skin color, discrimination against people with a different, I don't know, ethnic background and religious background, are real things, horrific things, evil things, and that people justifiably are very sensitive around these issues because there's a long history of discriminating against people with dark skin, of discriminating against Jews.  It is a real phenomena. So a race, in my view, is not a real phenomena. It's a made up thing. Racism is a real phenomenon, and one, that I can understand why people are sensitive about it because six million Jews died in a Holocaust, African Americans were enslaved for well over a hundred years, and even when they were not enslaved, they were horrifically discriminated against. So it's real. It's real and needs to be acknowledged as such. But there is a question. There is a question. What is race even mean? What is it? What are the borders? What distinguishes? And what is its importance? Now one's background is important for a variety of reasons. For example, health-wise, where you come from, or even where your ancestors come from, or the group they belong to has importance because there are certain diseases that are in group, there are certain phenomena that are associated with that. So for health it's important, but for what else? For what else? So health care should take into account your genes, your genetic makeup, and health care should be taken into account who your ancestors were. But that doesn't define a race. Indeed if you consider Jews a race, well some diseases are associated with European Jews but are not associated with North African Jews or Central Asian Jews. So what matters for those diseases is not that you're Jewish, but that you're Jewish and that you're from Europe. Is that a sub-race of the broader race? It just all doesn't matter and categorizing things as race is useless. So absolutely your genes matter, particularly for medicine. Maybe only for medicine. I don't know for what else.   So yeah, your genes matter for health. For what else? What else do your genes matter for? I mean to other people, to you they matter, but to other people what do they matter for? For nothing, for nothing. Race is not really an idea, a concept. It was a word used in English language going back to 16th century, but as a category to categorize people not by genes, not by features. It's only in the 18th century and the 19th century that the concept of race as we know it today developed. And even then, it was much broader or much more narrow, if you will, than the way we think about it today. For example, there were thinkers in England who were trying to figure out among the English which groups among the English produced the geniuses and the successes and the success stories and therefore were inherently as groups superior to others and they should be the aristocrats and they should get privileges and all kinds of things like that. So trying to categorize little groups, not for the purpose of just understanding, you know, what does this culture provide, what does that culture, the genetics of it and so on, but to actually give some people privilege, some people positions, to discriminate against individuals based on which group they belong to. Now, Ayn Rand correctly said that racism is the most primitive form of collectivism in a sense, the ugliest form of collectivism, the most mindless form of collectivism. And in the 19th century, they were trying to categorize people all over the place, so white people were categorized among other things. I mean, Marx talks about the Slavic race as something we want to get rid of and it's not very good. And yeah, the Germans, a lot of this stuff was being done in America, sadly, the eugenics movement, a lot of the eugenics movements was initiated or developed and grew substantially in early 20th century America. Germany jumped all over this partially to try to inspire their own sense of worthiness out of their inferiority complex to try to justify their superiority in the world. And they started defining all the other races, including defining Jews as a race. I mean, Jews has always been discriminated against for a million different reasons, the Nazis defined them as a race, and defined all kinds of other people as races. And none of that matters. None of it matters. The fact that one group has an IQ on average higher than another group matters zero. Nothing, zilch, to evaluating any particular individual from that group. Not to mention the problems with IQ tests, which I'm not going to get into today, you know, the problems up the kazoo of IQ tests. Why the interest even? Why the interest in evaluating IQs of groups? Who cares? Why doesn't matter? What importance does it have? Who benefits from it? Only the racists. Nobody else. Only the racists. I mean, an individual's level of intelligence is important to the extent that IQ measures it. Intelligent tests are important for hiring, important for evaluating candidates for graduate work, for students. But I can tell you that my wife is a higher IQ than I do. There's no question about that. She scores off the charts on IQ tests. And she is not an Ashkenazi Jew. She is part of the inferior group that Richard is referring to, inferior in quotes, group of Sephardic Jews. So what differences does it make if on average her group scores less?   It's just an excuse for people to find justifications that validate their biases to begin with. I don't think race exists. I think it's a bogus concept. I think it's a bogus idea. I think it's an invalid concept. I think it aggregates concepts that are supposed to improve efficiency. They're supposed to make us more efficient thinkers. They're supposed to take a multitude of observations and identify something that's in common, but there's nothing important in common here. And then, of course, in America, at least in 24th century America, racism has come to only mean, or race has come to only mean, the difference between white and black. That is the only meaning of the concept of race is not the subtle differences that the Nazis found in different people. The subtle differences that a British race theorist of the 19th century found in different people, but black versus white versus brown.  Zero, zilch. I mean, as I told you, the most successful immigrant group to the United States today, the most successful immigrant group to the United States today in terms of salaries, wages, in terms of education, education achievement, educational attainment by far is the blackest immigrant group. That is the Nigerians.  So it's, you know, disgusting, despicable. This elevation of race, the importance placed on race, and this is not, this is everywhere in the political spectrum. This is left and right. This is people using color of skin for victimhood and for special rights and for special privileges and for Supreme Court seats, grievances. I mean, historically justified. But the solution is not more emphasis on skin color, more focus on the unimportant, the insignificant. It's just truly, truly horrific.  Yes, there are no black females on the Supreme Court right now. Now, maybe some of that is racism. Maybe the origins of that, some of that is discrimination from the past. Maybe there were highly qualified women, more qualified than anybody else who were black and who were not nominated because of the bigotry of the time. But you don't solve that bigotry. You don't solve that bigotry by being a bigot, by making skin color, by making sex, the determining factor. Thank you for listening or watching The Iran Book Show.

I looked at the phone and I'm like, hold on, that's a 4.7 and I'm calling from Atlanta so it kind of like shot me. What's up, man? How you doing? How you doing? Here, just a falcon. That moment, it was, it was, it was crazy. Well, we're going to turn this, this pick in. We're going to pick you right here if you want to be a falcon. You want to be a falcon? Yeah, sir. I'm just going to, I'm going to pick you out of the car, coach. It was the longest day of my life. You want to be a falcon? Yeah, sir. Let's do it. I really blacked out. It was all, it was like a dream, honestly, coming true.   The Falcons Select, Justin Schaffer, Guard, University of Georgia. In the 2022 NFL draft, the Atlanta Falcons Select, John Fitzpatrick, tight end, Georgia. Like coming out of high school, I was always underrated kid. Everybody overlooked, but I knew I had the size and the athleticism to play. The way I play, it's just like, I got a approval point every time I touch the field. Fans can expect to see a dominant run blocker. I'm going to do everything I can for this team, whatever I'm asked to do. Coach Rags, Harps on positionalist football, which I really like. And, you know, I'm going to take pride in. You name it, I'll be ready for it. A top player, the Falcons fans are going to get to see on Sunday is a player who's a team player, willing to do whatever it takes to win. Amala in the run game, I play with a lot of aggression. Being at Georgia really helped a lot, Coach Smart and the staff. Not only did they make us great football players, but they made us great men out the field too. I'm big on buying into team goals and letting the individual stuff take care of itself. Coach Smart will tell you here, say, if you go to class and you're doing everything right, everything else is going to fall in place for you. So keeping that mentality is like, whatever the coach has asked, I'm only like. I think that's what's great about a team. People come from so many different backgrounds, and we all come together for one common goal. And when you buy into that, like I said, everything else will take care of itself. I love the mental aspect of the game. I'm huge on preparation. I'm a first one in, last guy out type of person, and I really believe in that. And I think, you know, it pays dividends for me. I was just ready to really just get this whole process just going and joining and really just soaking everything in like as a sponge and just taking this career and journey as far as I can.


Social validity, right? So it's another one of those volitidies things. So we want to make sure that what we're doing has value For society as a whole and is appropriate for society as a whole It's probably not cool for me to walk around with whips and chains and beat the crap out of children to get them to stop Doing the problem behavior makes a great video. Yeah drastically great video probably highly effective But no social validity. It's highly unethical as well So do not think I'm telling you to do that But the point is is that you need to make sure that the behaviors that you're trying to target are appropriate The intervention procedures are acceptable And that the important and significant changes are going to occur in this child's world in their environment or in the adults world I always use child as example doesn't have to be so socially valid Is it okay to do this and should you do it and are the changes that you're getting? appropriate for the environment that in which this person operates


Hi and welcome to the session. Let us discuss the following question. Question says, find the Cartesian equation of the following plane. This is the given equation of the plane. First of all, let us understand that if this is the vector equation of the plane given to us, then Cartesian equation of the plane is Ax plus By plus Cz is equal to D, where A, B, C are the direction ratios of the normal to the plane. Now we will use this as our key idea to solve the given question. Let us now start with the solution. First of all, we will rewrite the given equation of the plane.  Clearly we can see this given equation of the plane is in this form. Now if we compare these two equations, we get A is equal to s minus 2t, B is equal to 3 minus d and C is equal to 2s plus d. Also, D is equal to 15. Now substituting these values of A, B, C and D in this equation, we get Cartesian equation of the given plane. So we can write Cartesian equation of the given plane is s minus 2t multiplied by x plus 3 minus d multiplied by y plus 2s plus d multiplied by z is equal to 15. So this is the required equation of the plane. This completes the session. Hope you understood the solution. Take care and have a nice day.


Hi, my name is Liz Rice and I'm the chair of the CNCF's Technical Oversight Committee. We're the group that steer the technical direction of the foundation and assess projects that apply to join or move up through sandbox and incubation to graduated level. This gives us a vantage point to see interesting trends emerging from the cloud native world. So I want to take a few minutes today to talk about some of the changes we want to focus on over the next year or so and share some predictions about the up-and-coming technology areas we think will get more attention in 2021 and beyond. This year we revamp the sandbox process making it much easier for projects to join at that level but with the understanding that this is a space for experimentation and early stage collaboration. So here's our first prediction for 2021. We expect to see some sandbox projects failing and others consolidating or merging with other projects. This is an entirely healthy thing. If the CNCF is going to support and encourage innovation in the cloud native space we have to expect some of the experiments to fail. In fact if all our sandbox projects make it to incubation that would suggest we haven't been experimental enough. Let's keep cloud native innovative. At the other end of the maturity spectrum is graduation. A graduated project is one that we believe is ready for widespread adoption with little risk to an enterprise that chooses to take it on. The current graduation criteria were drawn up at a time when moving to cloud native was a pretty cutting-edge thing for an enterprise to do. Now we're seeing much wider adoption and we have many more end users involved in our foundation so it makes sense for the TOC to take a look at the way we assess projects at incubation and graduation to make sure these definitions stay meaningful for everyone. We're absolutely sticking with the principles of no king makers and one size does not fit all but we think that as a community we can do an even better job of highlighting the best solutions in cloud native and helping end users identify which project is best for their particular circumstances. This also includes making sure that project governance is confidence inspiring. As ever we're not proposing to impose any particular form of governance but we do want to provide advice and support for project leaders who might want help in this complex area. So another prediction the CNCF will be able to provide additional support and ideas for governance models that work for contributors and users alike. Let's keep cloud native well governed. I feel on pretty safe ground on this next prediction the number of projects involved will grow. There will continue to be a ton of innovation and we'll see more community driven collaborative projects joining the CNCF. Plus our ecosystem includes lots of vendors building complementary projects in the cloud native space. So that's CNCF landscape. I'm looking forward to some downtime over the Christmas holidays with a nice jigsaw puzzle. Folks like to joke about the CNCF landscape and how you need a microscope to read it. But in all seriousness there are lots of people who find it useful especially in its online form to find out about projects that might help solve a particular problem they have. But I think we can do better to help users find their way around their options for a cloud native stack. I think I'm speaking not just for the TOC but also for the CNCF staff when I say that creative ideas on this are welcome. So far I've talked about how we operate as an organization and a community but now let's focus on the technology which is what we get really excited about right. Working with my talented colleagues on the TOC we came up with five emerging themes and technologies that we think are ones to watch in 2021 in no particular order. We're seeing projects aiming to make resilience and chaos engineering easy to incorporate in your deployments. When your applications use many pluggable and loosely coupled components it's hard to test the resilience of the overall system. It seems likely that in the not too distant future it will be common practice to use chaos engineering to test how your applications handle failure scenarios and unexpected events. Kubernetes for the Edge. While many end users today are running their Kubernetes clusters wholly located in data centers or the public cloud we're seeing more and more applications where nodes or entire clusters operate at a physical distance. We're now hosting projects that explore various different models for running components distributed at the Edge. It won't stop at orchestration. We'll need other cloud native components for the Edge too. Service mesh you knew this was coming right? There's currently a proliferation of service mesh projects at various different levels of maturity and focusing on different features. We expect to see some consolidation starting to happen here and greater clarity about the different strengths and use cases that these different projects address. WebAssembly and EBPF will be hot technologies in 2021. Although they're essentially unrelated they share some interesting characteristics like sandboxing, high performance and customization that make them really applicable for use in solutions to a range of cloud native problems. We're expecting to see a proliferation of projects to address the developer and operator experience. We need to make workflows easier and allow developers to free themselves from the implementation details like YAML and GitOps. There's unlikely to be a single user experience that fits every use case so we're fans of pluggable dashboards and extensible API driven UIs. We're seeing developer portals that make it easy to share common practices and tooling across organizations and there are new tools built on top of cloud native technologies to take the idea of an integrated development environment to a whole new level and lower the barrier to contribution. I hope all the VCs and analysts have been taking notes. There's plenty of work to be done outside these areas. Do you remember two years ago in Seattle, Janet Quo described Kubernetes as very boring and she didn't mean that working on it was boring. She meant that it had moved into the mainstream. That's happening to more and more of our projects as they become mature and get adopted by lots of large organizations. There's tons of exciting and interesting work to be done to move cloud native projects into the mainstream and keep cloud native everywhere.


All right, Lady what is this? Okay, so I'm still working on the bring up of my macro pad boards and I just finished doing the Arduino core So this is Arduino code here. You can see it's rotating and like keys are being pressed all that and then on the other one I got two prototypes. I've got this with circuit python money. You see there's a blink of friend so this one I just had to do a little bit of Like a patch to the core to fix like a typo bug for the sh1 106 OLED driver because like the columns and rows were mixed But I did that and then my driver is like working great now and then This code is you know kind of similar when you press the keys they light up And you get the rotary encoder and the rotary Button press working as well. So it's good. It means I've got the hardware working on Arduino and circuit python Which means it's time to write some macro pad code


Welcome to Church of the Chair, where we celebrate all the things we do well seated. I'm your host, E, and today I'm with my buddy, Chad Lutzky, who still hasn't emailed me the list of things he would like in the description of these videos, so people can go buy his books or check out his podcasts or whatever, check him out on social media. Say hi, Chad! Chad Lutzky.com, it's all there. All right, there we go. I will add that to the, upload that to all of the descriptions. There's this thing called Google E, if you wanna find out, you know. And spell his name right. It's like Lutz has the chips and K-E at the end. Kills E, just don't remember that.  I'm in a mood, anyways. Is there really a potato chip called Lutz? Yeah, yeah, Lutz potato chips. Or Lutz says in George and Kathy, who owned 112 Ocean Avenue? No, it's us. Dude, I am 100% wrong. It is UTZ, so don't remember that. That's not a good way to remember it. It's us, UTZ. I don't know where the L came from, man. I have no idea. I don't know if some of their packaging looks like an L in front of it or not. Anyways, top of the morning to you. Derek, how you doing? Hello, Jake. Hey, Buggle. All right, so what we're doing today is some, I don't know how much I'll be writing. I don't know how much Chad will be writing, but we're doing, we're sharing his screen and we are doing live revisions.  Have you read what I wrote yesterday yet? No, sir. Okay, so he'll be... I figured I'd do it as I went.  Hey, Brad, how you doing? We are 3,179 words in. Nice. That is good. I think 4,000, between three and 4,000 word chapters would probably suit this very, very well. About 10 pages. Good morning, Hailey. I'm munching scrambled eggs and bacon with toast as I listen, awesome. Do you ever partake of the English, the traditional English breakfast, Hailey, with the beans and the grilled tomatoes and all that lovely stuff, do you ever partake? I don't know how prevalent it is there. Is it like an old person thing or is it something y'all still do? Tonight at 8 Eastern, I will be hanging out with Broad Practor and Jay over at Paper Cuts with Hamelin Byrd. Ooh. So anybody is online and has nothing to do. Let me check him out. Yeah, Hamelin Byrd is a great author. I've not read. I think you'd like him, man. He's one of the people who asked for a blurb a year or two ago and I could tell right away why he asked me. Like he, you know, like I get requests a lot and it's like, you know, I don't like Supernatural.  This is right on my alley. Awesome. You don't like grilled tomatoes or mushrooms or black pudding. My youngest would agree with you about all that. So in fact, we were watching a competitive eater, like the UK's biggest, like traditional breakfast over there. It's like five pounds of food and Chris just sat there watching it and he goes, why would they ruin breakfast with tomatoes and mushrooms? The sausage looked good though. And I'm like, that's not sausage, my friend. That is black pudding. Ifa is trying to steal my bacon, well, give that baby some bacon. All right. Well, and if Chad, not Chad, Chad, if Chad sounds different, it's because he's having mic issues. So he's using his Apple mic now instead of his, what's your Mcfluggy? His Yeti, it's a Yeti, isn't it? Looks just like mine, but mine's red. Yes, it is a Yeti. Yeah. The best pod. Or wait, I guess so, a blue Yeti, yeah. Yeah, a blue Yeti, yes, yeah. I just call mine a Yeti, but it's a blue Yeti. I always forget they're called blue Yetis. Like the brand, I believe is blue. Yeah. And then the Macon model is, yeah. What the? Boggle, miss, sorry, go ahead, Chad. I was just saying I'm on highlighting all the stuff that I... Yeah, I've read it all, if you're fine. I didn't have any changes. Miss Groin DVD Reddit. And Miss Groin DVD Reddit to you too, Boggle. Love you. I can't even begin to like puzzle that one out. Miss Groin... Usually the M means it's a, is... The M usually means someone meant to hit space.  So is going maybe? I don't know, it's whatever. Boggle, you broke me, you broke me, hun. You broke me. Dumpster pizza. I'm here in my section. Okay. Let's see if, yeah, I thought so. I'm not sure I understand this one sentence here. We're collecting empty peanut butter jars like they're fabric eggs. Oh, Fabergé eggs, fabric eggs. I don't know if the joke lands, but that was the intention. Fabergé eggs and you're calling fabric eggs. Okay. I guess we can put in something to clarify or we can get rid of it completely. I thought you meant those old, in the 70s, they had this brand of pantyhose called legs that were popular. Oh yeah, my two cheese. Yeah, I remember those, yeah. Yeah. My sisters loved that brand for whatever reason.  Heck yeah, man. I used to take them to the beach and build little sand castles with them. Yeah, that's smart. Wish I would have thought about that. And we could put something in there. If you wanna keep the joke, if you think it's funny, we could put something in there with like an inner thought from Shane about how he thinks she means Fabergé eggs. But only reason he knows that is because of a documentary that he watched or something like that. Or one of his teachers talked about it. I don't know. But I'm not, I'm not, I'm not. My confusion, I guess, is in like, they don't want pizza because they've had too much, but then this says that they were having too much peanut butter too. Like they have all of these. I mean, I get it. Like they'd be tired of both. That's how I was looking at it. Like, you know, they're tired of peanut butter. They're tired of, but they're out of, they're out of the peanut butter, they're out. They don't want pizza. I don't know. But that, I mean, whatever you think for a fix, it's fine with me. Once again, I'm not in love with anything. But yes, I can see how that could be confusing. Yes. I had such a struggle yesterday typing sync. Like I'm even finding stuff today. Like I meant sync by the, it says by the sick. It's supposed to be sync.  I couldn't write it. I wrote wink. I wrote inks. I wrote sick. I don't know why that word gave me so many problems yesterday. Facial vocabulary. That's a new one. That is a new one. I don't know if it works or not, but I like it. I mean, it's automatically, you know exactly what you're talking about. E, I think my plan is going to work. I made a new document, the dimensions of the A1 poster and 800 PPI. I'm gonna try a fixed blurriness now. Hell yeah. I've been drinking. I'm almost done with my coffee. Of course I need some water. Sorry I was driving. Didn't have reading glasses on, but I was just trying to say mushrooms are best. Wow. Miss growing DVD Reddit means mushrooms are best. Hey dude. How do you feel about the next chapter being called Coke and a Smile? Coke and a Smile? Yeah. That's pretty good. Open up with Uncle Travis. You know, being happy.  What he normally isn't, like you said, his facial vocabulary.  The more I think about it, the more I like it. This is going really well. Coke and a Smile, I love that. Thanks, Mikey. I have good ideas sometimes. Anyways, I'm gonna go ahead and dig my break. When I get back, I think I'd, I think I got something I wanna write for opening chapter two. You miss. Go and mute. Hey, Mayor. Sorry. I'm nasty. The stuff's spraying out right over the waistband. I'm just showing.  Oh, Lord, what happened? What's that, what? I don't know, something, sorry.  That was weird as hell. Holy cow. Did you see my paintings I did? Yeah, I replied to you. The two you shared with me? I don't know, you sent me two pictures. Yeah. I've, I've, I've written almost another three pages. Jeez, dude.  Hey, Bamp, how you doing? Sorry if I missed you. Alright, but good, I'm trying to watch more of Eve and I'm working seven days a week. Oof, man, that's rough. Oh, come on. You're just not bothering me if you're worried about that. It drives me nuts. I got you. I love dogs, but I don't like barking dogs, especially when it's just probably just either someone walking by or a squirrel. It's like, come on, guys. You're not used to this yet? Yeah, Hailey does awesome art work. Alright, nearly, nearly four pages. You got more to do on this, but I'm kind of interested in what you're doing, so I wanted to come up here and see. I'd stop highlighting because lots of little adding things, changing things, stuff like that, and there's no, unless it's a full paragraph, it's nothing but new stuff I haven't. Yeah, dude, like I told you yesterday or the day before, I'm not even gonna remember what I wrote, so it doesn't matter what you change. I'm perfectly alright with you just going with it. I'm gonna put a big gap between where I am and where I have not been. Okay. That's what I usually do anyway when I'm doing this kind of thing. Stick max. Stein max? Stein max, is that what it is? Okay. I took out, you had Lewis, but it didn't flow right? Because Lewis is. Yeah, it was kind of like a placeholder anyways. I just didn't want to call it Panda Fuckers Grocery and Liquor. Yeah, like I said, I'm not married is the word that I've been trying to say this whole stream. I'm not married to anything, so. Right, well hopefully you'll like what we've got here. This is a chunky first chat. This is gonna be really easy to do.  Doing it, especially doing it this way. And we're gonna have a pretty clean final, pretty clean, rough draft, too. The way we're both going back over each other. It looks more like Kurt Cameron, poor kid. Trying to take us up 80, popular 80s things that I don't know, kid might be into. If you could take us some better. No dude, Kurt Cameron is perfect. I see exactly what you're talking about. Michael J. Fox versus Kurt Cameron, 100%. I see that very clearly.  They can go Google it. Most people know Kurt Cameron for his religious stuff nowadays. Yeah. And even know that he was a child star. Yeah, you've removed a lot of little things. I have noticed you're making it punchier and I like that. Oh yeah, ramen, ramen.  I forgot about him getting ramen. That's fine, yeah, I already did. Oh, and you changed it to a woman cashier? Well, that's only because I had started establishing this character and hadn't read far enough to see that you had made this big, big, tall guy. Gotcha. I don't know if you noticed up above, but I had him instead of going to the first store because they're banned from it. Ah, okay, yeah. And then I, yeah, you may have missed that. I talked about why they go to the second store and I described the two owners who do it and how. So there might be some references you don't get when it comes to the description of the glasses that they wear. Gotcha. Okay. I call them thumb fix. Okay. Because I say that... Not every day, sorry, sorry, Chad.  Once we get the first chapter to where we want it, I'll go back and read the whole thing. Okay. I'll probably do a pass off stream also because I mean, either gonna need a break or we need to go pretty soon. I really only need a break. So, but awful scars.  I have a coconut smell.  What do you want to do? You want me to take a break or do you want to finish up soon? I think I'm gonna... I think I'll call it so I can eat lunch. And we were talking about maybe... We're talking about since people are hanging out, writing themselves, and I don't think anyone is interested in every single word done live. Trying to catch up because you write so much faster than I do. Trying to catch up off stream or I can do this live stream on my own too and just not make it a big deal. Just have it going. Yeah, I'm fine with either. If you want to do it off screen or if you want to do your own live stream, perfectly fine. But that would just be for, like I said, to catch up to you.  I have no idea where you're at because I haven't looked at it yet, you know. Yeah, I've done the reveal of the cocaine and everything. Yeah, I'm deep into, like I said, I'm four, chapter two is now already four pages long, roughly.  Also, let me answer Vamp real quick. Vamp, if you're still here, yes, I'm gonna be making T-shirts. I'm hoping to have them done before Halloween because she made so many images for me last Halloween. I'm hoping to get those up and ready in September at some point in time. Anyways, go ahead, Chad. And this will give me a chance to catch up to where I can write some stuff to, you know, some other chapters too. But yeah, I'm just such a, I mean, this works out good. I like the way this works out too because I'm such a clean first draft kind of guy.  Oh, I know what you mean. And me, I don't go back.  I've never done this much work.   It's not killing my momentum at all.   I want that urgency to carry over to the reader that they won't even know, you know, where we're going with this maybe because of the cover has something carnival themed. But anyways, I want that urgency to carry over. And so far it is, it's moving beautifully. I love it. Well, I did the math and we have written over 2,000 words today. So awesome. That's cool. In two hours, that's not bad. No, not bad at all.  But the process is definitely helping people out. I keep getting comments about how much of an inspiration it is and how motivational it is and all that stuff. So I'm glad people are getting what they need from it, especially those who are getting their own work done while we're working. Yeah, that's awesome. I love that. Love this community. Anyways, all right. Thanks everybody for joining us. There were quite a few of you in here. I think we were up to like eight or nine at one point in time. Thanks for joining us. This is good. Chad, anything else you wanna say before we go? Sam asked about my channel. Assuming they mean my YouTube channel, I think it's just Chad Lutsky. I maybe type in YouTube, I think. I think that's what it's called. You're welcome, Viking. I'm glad you got so much done. Let's see here, I am going to, we can go tomorrow. And I gotta cry off for Sunday because it's game night. What I'm expecting is basically the schedule that we had this week where we'll take Wednesdays and Sundays off just to get myself some kind of, some time away from this damn computer. Because I got videos to do too. So I'm tentatively, unless something comes up guys, expect at least three to four streams a week, probably take Wednesday and Sunday off in any other days that we need to. But we're gonna do this as much as possible because we're both the type to just pound away at a project until it's done. Yeah, we wanna get it done. Yeah, exactly. And collabs already take, they can take twice as long because you're waiting on the other person to write. This is beautiful. I have never done this before with anybody I've written with, where we have just gone back and forth in a Google Docs. Hey Alec, how you doing in a Google Doc? And I wanna work this way all the time. It's nice to be writing something and for the word count to be doubling at the same time that you're writing something because the other person is layering. It just goes by so much faster. I'm doing great Alec, I ain't seen you in a hot minute. Google Docs, they are great, they are. And I've written live that way before on Twitter. I've sent people over there to watch me write. And I haven't used it in so long because for the longest time, it had such horrible lag even after I upgraded to my new internet, my fiber. And I don't have that problem now.  Like sometimes I'll click on something and then I'll start typing and it'll take me down to the end of the page or the end of the document completely. That was weird, it happened at least three times this round. And I don't know if it's because both of us are working on the same document or if I hit some kind of control something, I don't know, but anyways. All right guys, so we're gonna head off. So tomorrow, 9 a.m. as we've been doing. If anything comes up, if anything changes for next week, we'll let you know. But until next time, I'll hail the chair.


What's going on everyone? Sam here with late in sports cards ripping 22 tops chrome formula one racing hobby six box break number 16 Random team style.

There's daniel rickardo on the um checker flag refractor lando norris daniel rickardo Here's george russell I think a lot of it too is like, you know, certain teams will get hot like look at uh Ooh, we got a red. That's a good red That's gonna be lan stroll going to astin martin Congrats on that bobby two of five Love that man card at number 50. Congrats on the shred stroll Norris daniel rickardo I mean, it's also like look it's uh, look at noderdame that one year in 2013 the uh, the mantai taiyo year Like they were they were a great team and they you know beat who they needed to beat to get there And then they they didn't belong on the same field as alabama.

I don't think the bears draft at number one Uh, carlo signs refractor. I think a team like uh, atlanta or a team like indy Will go ahead and trade up and they'll take brice young number one daniel rickardo I think houston could trade up to number one too Uh, yeah, yeah shazeed. They are open. It will go a little bit later Probably around one o'clock if you do order one max for staffing speed demons. Um, I think will anderson is the number two pick McLaren is daniel rickardo. I mean it all depends on who gets the number one pick It depends if if houston trades up then they're gonna what's it called If houston trades up they're gonna take brice young and then it's gonna be who knows who goes at number two There's ayuma, uh, uwasa Yeah, atlanta might not take take another uh, they might not take a quarterback I wouldn't be surprised if they don't for sure jonathan louis hamilton check and flag refractor. There's pure ghastly yuki sunoda for Albatari male valteri botas I do think too it like I said, it depends who drafts number one Like if the bears stay and draft at one, they're gonna take will anderson or jail and carter Oracle there's a tail for share to 50 for Art grand prix. I'm on board for giving desmond ridder another year. I really am sergio pares refractor I don't think that's the worst idea in the world trials of claire carlo signs because worst comes like Work like best case scenario they find their guy And they roll with desmond ridder who's did they get landed?

This may be offensive. Let's check this out. May I ask, are you a religious man? To avoid being perceptively rude via text, I will I will volunteer that I am Muslim. Welcome to our, welcome to our live stream, as for your religious denomination, it's up to you if you want to share. For me, I don't believe in organized religion, period. I believe in, I believe that this is not who we are, just matter. We are not just matter. Now, up to you, how you want to, where you want to take that, right? I don't stand against anyone's belief, however, they want to interact with the world as long as they are not hurting any innocent people, right? So you can be anything you want. I believe in the sci-fi world, really, in the sense that in science fiction novels, magazines and stuff like this, a lot of sci-fi, which is sort of a prediction of where humanity will be, right? You can read that throughout history. A lot of things that were considered science fiction are not fact, right? Science fact. So in a lot of science fiction that you read in the future, there will be tens of thousands, if not millions of religions and people believing in whatever it is they want to believe in. There will be sex, there will be cults, there will be organized, centralized institutions, just the way they are right now. There will be lots of charlatans, there will be introverts and extroverts and everything and anything. One of the biggest groups will be where religions, you know, foundation of all religion has really begun, which is shamanism, right? So shamanistic methods will be one of the largest spiritual practices in the world because everything is a loop and it always goes back to the origin, right?


I think we have an innate ability to know what's healthy for us and what's not, even though we trick ourselves sometimes. So I'd say first of all, that first bit is that you have to starve yourself to be thin. You don't. And if you do, you'll stress out and you'll probably end up bigger and bigger and bigger as your adrenals don't cope and you'll produce more stress hormones, which makes it harder to control as fat. And you'll store more fat, as your body thinks. You're in a stressed fight of light state ready for whatever. So that's my first one. You don't have to starve yourself. Secondly, I would avoid anything that is cult-like in its advice. Do you know what I mean? So that you have to do this. You have to follow a particular diet for your whole life in order to succeed. It's about healthy eating, not about dieting.


So, notice the amount ACT is directly proportional to the investment C, or at least that's what we've been assuming. So, it makes sense to ask the question, how long will it take before the money grows by a factor of K? While K could be any value, we often ask for the doubling time. For example, suppose an investment earns 5% per year, how long will it take before the amount doubles? We have the interest rate, 0.05, but we don't know C, T, or ACT. But since we want the amount to double, we want ACT to be 2C, that's twice the initial investment, and so we can write, and solve, and so T is approximately 14.21 years. We can apply this generally, so if we want to find the doubling time, we have our amount given by our compound interest formula, the amount at time T should be 2C, and we can solve, and this gives us our doubling time. Now, while we don't encourage the use of approximations, we notice the following. Log of 2 is approximately, meanwhile log of 1 plus the interest rate, 0.05, is approximately 0.05. So if we use the approximation, log of 1 plus I is approximately I, we get a doubling time that can be computed, or if we want to express things in terms of the actual percentage rate, we can multiply by 100. Consequently, you can find the approximate doubling time by dividing 69 by the interest rate. For example, at 5% interest, the doubling time is approximately 69.5, 13.8 years. Now while we could use 69 as a numerator, we often use other numbers, and not for the obvious reasons. Classically, this is known as the rule of 70, and so you can find the approximate doubling time by dividing 70 by the interest rate. But the problem is neither 69 nor 70 are easy to divide into, and since we're only looking for an approximation, another version is you can find the approximate doubling time by dividing 72 by the interest rate. So for example, let's find the approximate doubling time for an investment earning 12% annually, and then let's find the exact value. So we could use the rules of 69, 70, or 72, and let's use all of them, dividing 12 into 69, dividing 12 into 70, and dividing 12 into 72. If we want the amount to double, we find. And so our doubling time is about 6.12 years. And notice that the rule of 72 actually gives the best approximation. This always happens. Or does it? So it never hurts to try out a concrete example, suppose we have an interest rate of 0.5%. So again, using the rule of 69, 70, and 72, we find. And we can find the exact value by, and so our doubling time is about 138.98 years, and this time the rule of 69 gives us the best approximation.
