I'm often asked what my opinion about a diet or disease is. Who cares what my or anyone else's opinion is? All we should care about is what the science says. What does the best available balance of evidence published in the peer-reviewed medical literature have to say right now? Welcome to the Nutrition Facts Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Michael Greger. It's time for the Nutrition Facts Grab Bag, where we look at the latest science and a whole variety of topics, and we start today with a story on the micro mort. And no, that's not a nickname for your short uncle. Think of it as a unit of comparing and communicating risk to patients. Hundreds of millions of operations are performed every year, and the risk of death is typically around a half a percent, to which patients might say things like, I could just die as easily crossing the road. Making it clear they really don't understand the difference in magnitude of risk. One way to communicate risk is by analogy. For example, just going under anesthetic carries about a 1 in 100,000 chance you won't wake up. How much is that? Well, that's about the same risk as an expert skydive. Okay, but that still may be kind of hard to wrap your head around. It's hard to think in terms of small numbers. Like imagine discussing a 17,000 of a mile by 22.7,000 of a mile rug. Like, how big even is that? We need more digestible units. Enter the micromort as a unit of comparing and communicating risk to patients. A micromort is a unit equivalent to 1 in a million chance of dying. 1 in a million is like the chances of flipping a coin and getting 20 heads or tails in a row, or a little less than the chances of getting a royal flush. But the real utility is to help compare different risks to one another using the same metric. For example, driving 100 miles entails about a 1 in a million chance of death. So that's 1 micromort. Scuba diving is like 5 micromorts per dive, so each dive is as risky as driving 500 miles. So now we have a way to directly compare the risk of surgical procedures and common activities. So like giving birth is as risky as driving from New York to LA and then back again. But getting a caesarean is more than twice as risky. Even something like a simple hernia repair carries the same risk of dying as like skydiving 200 times. Now obviously sometimes you have no choice, but death from varicose vein surgery or circumcision could probably be avoided. I was surprised to learn that regular horseback riding is like four times deadlier than rock climbing. But like getting chemo and radiation for head and neck cancer is riskier than rock climbing for 500 years, driving 5 million miles or jumping 5,000 skydives, etc. One leading cause of death that we didn't talk about and how not to die is accidental death. We have approximately a 1 million chance of dying just by accident every day of our lives, and about half of that risk is dying in a car crash, based on US averages. Then there's all sorts of other ways I'm surprised to learn Americans have about a 1 in 200,000 chance every year of dying from a foreign body entering an orifice other than the mouth. Other things we may want to avoid include climbing Mount Everest, about 30 times riskier than coal mining or base jumping. Trains and planes are actually equivalent over the same distance, but riding a motorcycle is about 50 times deadlier than riding in a car. Though cycling to a destination is riskier too, about 10 times as deadly as driving in the near term. Here's a good example of how one can use micromort comparisons to help put things in perspective. Certain types of breast implants can cause a rare type of cancer, a type of breast implant associated lymphoma. You can imagine how scary this is for the millions of women who have implants, but check out the risk compared to the risk of other common activities. Your risk of dying from this kind of cancer is less than a single day of skiing. Now it's probably better to die quick on the slopes than all the slow suffering of cancer with the risk of bankrupting your family, but at least it can put the risk of the implant cancer killing you in context. In our next story we ask do nut eaters live longer simply because they swap in protein from plants in place of animal protein? The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition is the highest ranked peer reviewed scientific journal in nutrition. That should tell you a lot about the field, since it's published by the American Society of Nutrition whose sustaining partners include the Sugar Association, Candy Bar and Soda Companies, the Corn Syrup People, and the Meat, Dairy, and Egg Industries. And this is the highest ranked nutrition journal. The fact that the National Cattlemen's Beef Association is a sustaining partner may help explain their publication of this article. Imagine you're in the pocket of Big Beef and Big Pig. How could you possibly pull off a study showing that eating red meat does not negatively influence cardiovascular disease risk factors? A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials showing that eating more versus less red meat does not influence cholesterol or blood pressure? Doctors Barnard and Willett pointed out the fatal flaw in their editorial, the misuse of meta-analysis in nutrition research, by asking the question, compared to what? Of the 39 trials that they had chosen on LDL cholesterol, nearly 90% of them were just swapping one meat for another, comparing red meat to white meat. They were using chicken-controlled diets? Or fish-controlled diets? And we know that when it comes to cholesterol, the impact of beef consumption is just as bad as fish or poultry, and so that's how they pulled it off. They just swapped meats. That's like publishing a study saying total twinkie intake does not negatively influence risk factors by switching twinkies with ding-dongs. Those randomized to zero twinkies didn't do any better. Yeah, because now they were eating ding-dongs! It's a classic drug industry trick, testing your drug against something known to be terrible. Whereas if you swap out meat for plant-based meats, plant-based sausages, plant-based chicken patties, and veggie dogs, you end up with significantly lower cholesterol. Well, duh, you say, there's less saturated fat in plant-based meats. But even independent of saturated fat content, you end up with higher LDL cholesterol with red meat or white meat, any kind of meat compared to non-meat protein sources. The researchers conclude that this is keeping with recommendations promoting diets with a high proportion of plant-based food, but based on cholesterol effects, white meat like chicken and turkey is just as bad as red. And fish may be even worse, though what they often did is try to standardize the saturated fat content by adding like butter. But at the same saturated fat content, fish appears to be worse than beef and chicken just as bad as beef. Yet plant protein sources like legumes, soy, and nuts, so beans with peas, chickpeas, lentils, soy beans, and nuts did better. Switch out a single serving of even lean beef with the same amount of calories of nuts or soybeans, and you can lower LDL-bad cholesterol, a key risk factor, for the number one killer of men and women in the United States and around much of the world. But wait, is that why a single serving of nuts a day is associated with a 22% reduction in the risk of premature death? Why millions of deaths every year may be attributable to inadequate nut intake? Maybe the benefit is just because they're eating nuts instead of meat? No. The drop of heart attacks amongst more frequent nut eaters is just as strong or even stronger among vegetarians. The reduced mortality associated with nut consumption is independent of health condition. It's not just health nuts eating nuts. In fact, in a comparison of a dozen different food groups, nuts beat out even vegetables when it came to a lower risk of premature death. Finally today, we look at the secret to a public health community's triumph when past attempts to regulate the food industry have failed. There are three broad approaches to mediating the ruin of risky choices. Inform people, like using labeling, nudge people, for example by offering financial incentives, or directly intervene to make the activity less harmful. Which do you think prevented more car fatalities? Mandating driver education, labeling cars about crash risk, or removing the human element altogether by just making sure airbags are installed? There are public education nutrition campaigns from sugar pack ads on public transit and forming consumers how much sugar is in soft drinks to hot dogs cause butt cancer billboards educating about the link between processed meat and colorectal cancer. But is there a way to make products nutritionally safer in the first place? The ban on trans fats offers a useful lesson. In 1993, the Harvard Nurses study found that high intake of trans fat may increase the risk of heart disease by 50%. That's where the trans fat story started in Denmark, and it ended a decade later with a ban on added trans fats there in 2003. It took another 10 years, though, before the U.S. even started considering a ban. All the while, trans fats were killing, estimated tens of thousands of Americans every year, resulting in as many years of healthy life lost as conditions like meningitis, cervical cancer, and multiple sclerosis. If so many people were suffering and dying, why did it take so long for the U.S. to even suggest taking action? One can look at the fight over New York City's trans fat ban for a microcosm of the national debate. Opposition came down hard from the food industry complaining about government intrusion, likening the city to a nanny state. Since trans fats can be found naturally in meat and dairy, the livestock industry echoed the Institute of Shortenings, everything in moderation argument. Critics styled such proposals as the rise of food fascism, but it was the restaurant and food industries that limited consumer choice, by so broadly fouling the food supply with these dangerous fats. If food zealots get their wish and banning added trans fats, another argument went, what's next? Vested corporate interests tend to rally around these kinds of slippery slope arguments to try to distract from the very real fact that people are dying. I mean, what if the government tries to make us eat broccoli? This actually came up in a Supreme Court case over Obamacare. Chief Justice Roberts suggested Congress could start ordering everyone to buy vegetables. A fear Justice Ginsburg dubbed the broccoli horrible. Technically, Congress could compel the American public to eat more plant-based, Justice Ginsburg wrote, yet one can't offer the hypothetical and unreal possibility of a vegetarian state as a credible argument. As one legal scholar put it, judges and lawyers live on the slippery slope of analogies, they're not supposed to ski it to the bottom. New York City finally won its trans fat fight, preserving its status as a public health leader. For example, New York banned lead paint 18 years before federal action was taken, despite decades of unequivocal evidence of its harm. Comparing the stroke and heart attack rates before and after the rollout of the trans fat ban in different New York counties, researchers estimated successfully reduced cardiovascular death rates by about 5%. This then became the model for the nationwide ban years later. How was the public health community able to triumph when attempts in the past to regulate the food industry failed? If you would have asked me about the odds of a national trans fat ban, I would have said, fat chance. In Denmark, as a leading Danish cardiologist put it, instead of warning consumers about trans fats and telling them what they are, we've simply removed them. But we're Americans. As they say here, you can put poison in the food if you label it properly. If people know the risk the argument goes, then they should be able to eat whatever they want. But that's assuming they've been given all the facts, which isn't always the case. Given the food industry's model of systemic dishonesty, as one health ethics professor put it, given the predilection for predatory deception and manipulation, government intervention was deemed necessary. But how you got to get it passed? First, there was a labeling requirement. Manufacturers had to start adding trans fat content to products nutrition facts labeling. Ostensibly, this was to influence consumers, but it may have had a bigger impact on producers. Now that they had to divulge the truth, companies scrambled to reformulate their products to gain a no-trans fat competitive edge. Within years of the mandatory disclosure, more than 5,000 products were introduced touting lower zero trans fats on their labels. Kentucky Fried Chicken went from being sued for having some of the highest trans fat levels to running an ad campaign where mom tells dad in front of the kids that KFC now has zero grams of trans fat. And the father yells, Yeah, baby, woo!  That was the secret to passing the ban. Once the major food industry players had already reformulated their products and bragged about it, once there wasn't so much money at stake, then there was insufficient political will to block the ban and added trans fats were taken off the playing field.

The Special Olympics give children and adults with disabilities a chance to compete against each other in a number of sports worldwide. Our Anthony Scott was at Jack's House Bowling Alley in Brainerd today for the statewide Special Olympics Bowling Tournament. It's all about just promoting inclusion and it's a great thing we got going here. Students from schools all across central Minnesota were knocking down pins and having fun competing in the Minnesota Special Olympics Bowling Tournament. This is their varsity team, this is a great opportunity for them to compete and they can prove that it doesn't matter if you have a disability or not. I want to include you and make sure that you can compete and show off your skills. It is a unified bowling tournament meaning that athletes with disabilities are partnered with an athlete without a disability, also known as unified partners, and they compete as a team. To have those those connections, those friendships, it goes beyond just competing at the bowling alley or on the field. It's in the schools too that you get to see that inclusion movement. They get to compete in these sports and then they come back to school and they become friends and you see them high-fiving in the hall. It's so inspiring, it makes you feel very happy for them that they get to do this. Over 4,000 athletes will be competing across Minnesota this weekend and these events are something the athletes really look forward to. It's really fun and I love being in Special Olympics. It's a lot of fun to be here and see all our players from other schools and compete against them, so it's a lot of fun. Besides just having fun, the athletes learn a little bit about each sport that they compete in. We're trying to keep teaching the skills of bowling and the etiquette and all those things and then also having fun competing and just having a good time because these events are a big part of their their school year and they literally look forward to this and just making it a special event for them. It was a special day at Jack's House Bowling Alley as these athletes were striking out the stigma against disabilities. Reporting from Brainerd, Anthony Scott, Lakeland News. Tomorrow is the last day of competition with athletes bowling from nine until two in Brainerd.

Welcome to ToffeeTV, it is the match preview Everton vs Manchester City, Goddison Park, 2,000 fans there, hopefully not for the last time, we might just squeeze the West Ham game out of it, we'll watch the way you can see on that one, but 2,000 fans inside Goddison Park in a top of the table game, that's what we like to hear isn't it, man City trying to grab our, well as we record our second place office, but that sounds good doesn't it, that sounds good, I like that. Sounds very nice indeed doesn't it, yeah you know second bit, so the time we record obviously as the you know caveat data, that's certainly the 5th shot, so yeah I mean it's a pity because it's a pity that team isn't spread out like both teams have an other 4 days left, because I think it would have been a good game this match, particularly for us missing some big players, but it would have been a good game I think for teams, but having to play 48 hours after you've just played the last game I think is absolutely joke. It's not what title contenders deserve I think, I think title contenders deserve a little bit more respect and a little bit more time, because it feels like it hates the title contenders as opposed to maybe helping some other team that have got like, magically got like 3 days between their games, with everyone else has to you know basically cram in as many Jaffa Cakes as they can for 24 hours to make sure they've got the energy, so yeah, but it's going to be a tough game, it's always a tough game, Manchester City obviously are very good, very good side and this season is no different, maybe okay, maybe not looking as fluent as they have been in the past, but certainly defensively, they started to pick up, get more clean sheets now, defend them better, but it's not the game you really want after you've played 5 games in the space of 2 weeks, it's not the game you want, you know you don't want to be playing a team that can change maybe 16 players, 67 players maybe, maybe more, and also move the ball round really well and are going to work your legs a little bit more than you actually want, you know 48 hours after you've played your last game. Yeah, it's the toughest of opponents isn't it really, you know, such a good side, everyone's talking about them being, you know, not in the title, when you look at the league they're only actually 5 games, they're never full, haven't had, you know, you think that they've been terrible this season, just because they haven't hit the high you'd expect them to, but it is a big ask for us because of, just because of the plays we've been missing and obviously Richard Allison will be a big blow. The games, the sheet games we've had and these fixture, when the fixtures come out I just don't think I took much notice of December until we were in it and then when you read it back and you've had Chelsea, Leicester, Arsenal and all United was in the cup, but then you've got Man City, you know, four or five league games, it's been tough, it's been tough, so it is a bit, it's going to be a difficult game and the pleasing thing for Everton will be that there's no Gabriel Gizous who has scored in each of his last five games against us, he scored more against us, like a lot of strikers do, he seems to take us as their favourite team, more against us than any other team, but he's missing with obviously due to COVID protocol and obviously Carl Walker, who can be a little bit of a bit of a defensively book and also be very good offensively, he's got that pace as well, that recovery pace, Walker, so that will upset them a little bit because I don't think she's a good guy, I was quite fired on her all cylinders at the moment I had there, rumours that he might start again against us, which is great news for Everton, but they are still obviously at the top to our side, they're a great side and like you say I think with a bit more rest I think we might have made this game very interesting, not saying we still won't, it's made more because a day's less basically you're at it again aren't you? Let's be honest, we know what we're going to do, we're going to do exactly what we've done for the last four games, we're going to play the four at the back I imagine, I can't, unless Shames comes in. I think Shames will come in to be honest with us. But it's going to be the same style isn't it, we're going to try and dig deep, we're going to try and hit them on the, you know we're going to try and hit them on the counter attack and make a goal and make it tougher, what we have seen with Man City is if you can get a goal in front, they're not, they get frustrated because of the way they play so that might fall in our favour if we could get a goal. I think the only, one issue is for me with Man City is where we've got away with this style, maybe playing somewhere like Leicester where we know that they like to play the ball over the top and use the pace, where the city, I don't think City at times necessarily mind defences that sit deep because we've seen it, we've seen it last night against Newcastle actually. They love scoring that goal where it gets pinged to the edge of the box and then gets drilled across the penalty area and someone's on the six yard line to basically put it in, that's their trade mark goal, let's be honest. And if you've got a defence, so if you've got a defence that is sit and deep, then that's more important to them than having space behind, but saying that, they can play both ways and we've been doing it so well and that's the difference as well I suppose is that maybe some teams play against Manchester City and they change their style to do that, whereas we've been doing that for the last five games anyway, so that might help us, we're not going into this game going on, we've got to keep it tight and we can't let in, we've been doing that for the last five games, so for us it'll just be continuing what we've been doing and that might be the thing that helps us is that at the moment seems to be a very well-dilled machine, everyone seems to know what their jobs are, that's not to say it'll stop Manchester City, but certainly I think it'll give us a little bit of an advantage maybe other teams that are trying to do it against them? Yeah, I mean the interesting thing for me will be what he goes with, does he just leave it as the team started, does he look at it and go, you know, Yeri Mina has played a lot of games in the last few weeks, he'll come out, do a put Mason Holgate's centre back with Keane and Av, back, you know, do weeks to midfield up a little bit, does Gomez start instead of Sigartson maybe or does Gomez start, you know what I mean, do we take the Coray out and try to give him a break before this West Ham game, or do they go with basically the same team and say, right, let's just get through this game and then use your offer of three days to recover before West Ham, you know, it's like, it's going to be really interesting to team because you just don't know what, you don't know what he's going to have available and what he's thinking. I think in this fixture last season, when we played Newcastle, didn't we, we won 2-1 up there. I think Carlo Ancelotti actually said, it's not even a case of like who I want to play, it's who can play and I think it'll be the same in this game, it'll just be who can play and you know, we've got another game on on Friday, so it might be a case of just getting through these two games then you've got the eight days ahead of the rathering game and now we play, we play, is it, did we play the week after Wolves? Got a mid-week game, haven't you? Yeah, got mid-week games then, so we've got like eight days then where players can get plenty of rest and obviously, you know, we're not going to go full strength against rather than margin. So it might just be a case of just using what we've got in these two games. I don't know whether you'll prioritise one over the other, I really don't know, but obviously, you'd have to almost prioritise the West Ham game anyway because simply because of the gap between Sheffields and I did in this game, you're going to have to maybe start with a Bernard, you're going to have to start with an Andre Gomez, all right, Tom Davis probably will be able to get through the two games because he's played a lot of games, then you said, does Seamus Coleman play? Does Mason Holgate maybe go to centre-back alongside Michael Keane and you've yet to be able to rest in a game like this, do you know what I mean? Ben Goff, he could probably play three games a day, so I'm not really worried about him. Tom, I mean, that's the one, isn't it? That's the key. But then again, I don't think he looked as fresh. I mean, the irony of winning four games in a row is he hasn't scored in those four games, but I'm hoping that he's not too worried about that. I'm saying he's not too worried about that. Maybe he played a shank. Maybe he played a shank. Shop window shank. Yeah, just getting a couple of chance, I'm not sure you know. No bonus, the man that you might look and go, well, I'm going to Dominic Alvaluens, played 95 minutes at Sheffield United, he played, you know, he come off against Man United, wasn't it, or it was a last comeoff. Both of them, yeah, both of them. Again, he both, yet later played the 95 against Sheffield United. Is it having him fully or fresh as he can be for the best time on Friday, or do we, and do we give Shane Towson an hour, or 65, 70 minutes here against City? I know people will be watching this, go, no, no, put Dominic, I know that. You've got to see how, like you've just said, maybe they'll look at his levels and all that, and he'll be, and he'll go, there's nine, 10 players there who are fine, who are fine to play in this game, and they're all alright, but maybe we'll, we'll, you know, they've gone into data for his farm on a recovery day, maybe tomorrow he'll look at it and go, like, to making six changes, because these lads haven't got the legs, so when Kung-Q starts in a game you didn't think, and John Joe Kenny might be considered, you know, Seamus comes in, or Andre Gomez is in midfield, and, you know, think, like you said, Dave is probably going to play for at least an hour, maybe he has to do it like that, and we just have to... Can't spread ourselves too thin, can we? No, we don't want to, we've got to look at everything, and like I said, the only disappointment for me is that this isn't a game that's taking place once a week, kind of thing, because I think we could have had to really go up Man City, and it would have been a really interesting game. We might have been able to catch them out on this one, but we'll just, we'll have to see, we'll have to see, Dave won't be fully fresh either, even if they make four or five changes of this juncture, so we'll just have to see, it'll be a tough game, but it's that good, there's 2,000 of our fans there under the lights, and you never know what happens. Get it, as long as you don't lose, then the city can't go above us, and it's the next point. I'll be honest, I'll be delighted with the point because of the circumstances, I'll be absolutely delighted with the point, and that's not me being the feeder, that's me being a realist in the circumstances. The human beings, I say this all the time, I said this after me, I said this after the Man United game, the human beings, we've got a squad that's getting stretched to the edge, and they're doing brilliantly, I'm not having to go with anyone, after the chef in the United game, I said to myself, it's a pleasure to have great games, but I wasn't having to go with them, because ultimately this time of the year, me saying this all month, it's about managing what you've got, and when you lose on players through injuries, you know, we lose with charism through concussion, do you know what I mean?  He got his shoulders, I said this to my dad watching the game the other day, I said, he holds himself like, with the shoulders. I can't really remember Bob playing for everyone, but the way you see the footage it's that, but they, well, those three lads got in common, they're all in New Yorkshire lads, aren't they? Yeah, they're all lads who've come through, played lower league and battled, and I love that, I absolutely love that in our team, and that they're people who, Evertonians can get behind fully because you know that they're giving everything, and they've got a little bit of needle about them as well, particularly the two lads. Definitely, definitely. They both want to mix it. So, yeah, that's all we asked for, isn't it? Have a go, see what happens. Don't get any more injuries. Have a couple of days off and be fresh for West Ham on Friday, and we'll see what happens, you know. I'm not counting this team out, whatsoever, because we've seen it already, do things that we didn't think it was, you know, was capable of, or getting results that we didn't think they were gonna get, so hopefully we should... City are brilliant. Yeah, we know City are brilliant. Go on, just, you might as well, because you might as well, we all know it anyway, so you might as well just read them off. Everton have won one of the last 14 Premier League games against Manchester City, it was the 4-0 win at Gouldersen, and you said it before when I'd mentioned this, it's mad because we have an arm, and this, you know, we can beat these, and yet the record's not great, but we've drawn four and lost nine of them. City have won each of the last five games against Everton, and they're the longest ever winning run against us in the top flight. Manchester City have scored four goals in the last six away games, never more than one in a game, having less than 12 in the previous three. There you go. Everton have won the last four Premier League games, you're looking to win five in a row, since the first time, since April 2014, when we won seven in a row. Sigurdsson has been involved in four goals in 14 games this season, two goals to assist, one fewer than he had in 35 appearances last season. Both of his league goals this season for the Toffees have been winning goals, and since Pep Guardiola took charge of Manchester City in 2016, Raheem Staling has been involved in more goals in all competitions than any other player against Newcastle last time out being the 150th goal he's been involved in. He scored 96 and had 54 assists under Pep Guardiola, which is absolutely incredible. They're incredible numbers for the player that some people still don't rate. It's absolutely bizarre, bizarre to me, but he's a fantastic footballer. It's going to be a tough game, but like you just said, when we were going into December, how many people said to us, Pep can't just get an end point in December, and we've got 13, haven't we so far out of 18? Sorry, up to 15, 13 out of 15 in the league, which is incredible, so let's see what happens. Fingers crossed, if you go and enjoy it, let's hope we get Friday out of it as well, everyone who's going to take it for Friday gets to go as well. And use it to add advantage, use it, shout your lungs off, there you go. Right, there you go, big thanks for watching, if you haven't watched The Final Word as well. Bas is getting smaller and smaller as his internet connection gets worse and worse. I don't know if you've noticed this on the screen. Am I? Tell Zach, never ever to go on the internet while we're doing a live show, please, because honestly, God, you have gone, it's like some kind of Willy Wonka thing, and I can't really be bothered changing it back, so what I'm going to do is I'm just going to knock it off the screen and I'm going to be on the screen. Right, there you go, big thanks for joining us, make sure to check out The Final Word from the Sheffield United game, give this video a like, subscribe if you haven't already, if you want more great videos, join us over on Patreon, the link will be there, no, no, there, sorry, I'm trying to see where I am, there you go, thanks for watching, see you later, bye.


All right, so first of all, I freaking did it. I went sub 130. I did it, I went sub 90, and I've been wanting to do that for a long while.  I've tried a couple of times and failed, but that was back in like 2018 and early 2019, and since then I haven't raced. So I was pretty confident that I was going to do it, and I did it. And not only did I just go 129, but I went 128, 48. So I'm extremely satisfied with the race, how it went, how it felt, how it executed. It was just my best race ever really, and I want to tell you all about it. So in this video, I'm going to go into the details in terms of like my pacing, my hydration strategy, my nutrition strategy, what I felt during the race, what I thought, how I approached the execution of the race. That's what this video is about. But I want you to stay tuned, because in a few days, I'm coming out with another video, which is going to be the race vlog. And the race vlog is not made by me. Well, I'm editing it, but it was actually my friend Thomas who did the filming and the commentating, most of it anyway. So he's done a great job on race day, on his e-scooter, filming with the GoPro camera and his phone. And it was just like, he did a great job. And we got lots of cool footage. And I'm going to make a race vlog that's coming out in a few days. Okay, so stay tuned for that race vlog. But for today, let's get into some of the stats and some of those nerdy aspects of running a race. So woke up on race day, feeling fresh, feeling great. The taper was was done well. Temperature was about probably around 10 degrees Celsius when I started the race. Possibly it went up to like 11. It was overcast. So it was really optimal conditions. And I was worried in the beginning, like it or before the race, is this going to be too cold? You know, a little worried, but actually it was definitely not too cold. It was not too warm either, though. It was absolutely perfect. Okay. And that's what the scientific literature is also indicating, that about around 10 degrees Celsius is actually perfect for performance in those long distance races. So arrived in Oslo, did the warm up, felt good, and the race gun went off. We started off. I was in a pace group with two pacers with, they had like flags for 130. And they, you know, they promised that they will cross the finish line before 130. So you can sort of trust that they will set a good pace. And we were a good pack of runners trying to go beyond that barrier of 130. It was just an awesome day. I had Thomas with me, as I said, and then I had my brother, Mads, and my parents. So they were supporting me. And that meant a lot to me to have them there, because it gave me moral support. I look forward to seeing them several places along the course, cheering for me. And it sort of gave me a boost for sure. And also in the pack there was another friend of mine, Guy, who was also running for a sub 130. He also wanted to go below that barrier, never done that before. Having him there was actually also quite nice, because I felt, I don't know, I just felt safer. I knew like I know he's a good runner. And he was in the pack there. And I could see him at all times. And I knew that, you know, he's there. I'm here. We're here. The pack is here. The pace was just the whole situation was just very, very good. And he made his goal as well. I did out kick him at the end, possibly at the expense of my calf, though. So I don't know how smart that was. So essentially, we're pretty much at the same level of fitness. I knew, of course, in my own self, I knew that I didn't want to rely 100% on someone else to do the pacing for me, especially not in the early stages, because I went into this race not really knowing my fitness, you know, down to the minute. So I was like, am I just on the edge? Will I go sub 130? I thought I was going to go below it. I was pretty confident, but I wasn't entirely sure. And I didn't want to blow it in the first half of the race by just trying to stick with some paces who were running too fast. Turns out they weren't really running too fast, although perhaps they were a tad ahead of schedule. Really. So I thought it was probably a good idea for me then to to relax a little bit. I noticed that very quickly that they sort of went a little bit ahead. And I was like, you know what, I'm going to chill a little bit on this this first few kilometers. There's a little bit of hilly terrain over the first few k's, even though it is a fairly flat race. So I just sat back a little bit. I allowed the pack to just stretch out a little bit. I wasn't worried. I knew I could always catch up with them later. And if I tried to stick with them without being fit for that, I would pay dearly later, as I learned in my half marathon back in 2019 in Gothenburg. I'll put a link to the video here, probably, where I talk about what went wrong in that race went out way too hard. So I didn't want to do that. I wanted to start conservatively. And indeed I did. I started conservatively. I was still in the pack, though, and feeling great. Like after just a few kilometers, I was like, this feels awesome. I'm really in control. The pace is easy. I was focused and I just I had a good time. Well, as we go through the race, I guess I can take a quick look on my Strava data here. So the kilometer splits, okay, the time per kilometer. I'll give you the splits. Bear in mind that going sub 130, you want to be at 415 per kilometer. 4 minutes 15 seconds per kilometer. That's spot on sub 90 pace. So I want to be below that, but not too much below it, of course, because that might be too fast. I ended up averaging 412 for the whole race, which is 128.48. And my kilometer splits are as follows from the beginning. 412, 417. Okay, so 417, the second kilometer, a little slower, right? Like just being a little careful. First one is a little bit fast, actually. 412, 417, 416, 414, 410, 412, 409. Okay, we're on the flat now. 409, 410, 413, 413, 419. And there's two laps. You run two laps in the same route. So that 419, which was like my 13th kilometer, that's the same one as one of those early ones, which was like 416 or something. So it sort of makes sense. We get to those hilly portions again, 419. Okay, 413, 410, 416, 416, 415. And at that point, I said to myself that, you know what, I'm going to kick a little bit now. For the last two kilometers, I'm going to run much faster. And I did. I ran 408, 402, and 356, actually, for the last three kilometers. 356 for the last one. And I remember noticing in those last kilometers, increasing the pace from like 412 ish to 405 and approaching even down to four minutes per kilometer, that that was above the threshold. Like at that point, I started feeling the legs seizing up a little bit. I started getting a cramp. I started actually feeling like I was not entirely in control. Whereas at 412, I was completely in control. So certainly below or slower than my lactate threshold, which is likely somewhere around 405, 406, something like that per kilometer at the moment, which is probably the fittest that I've ever been, really, which is cool on less training, right? Like I'm only I've only trained 60 to 70 kilometers per week. I that's less than I did in 2019, when I crashed and burned at the half marathon in Sweden. So cool, I have I'm like, and I feel now that I've broken that barrier, the 130 barrier, I feel almost like the whole 20, the whole 20s, you know, 127, 26, 25, 24, 33, all the way down to 120 feels really within reach. Like it's mentally, it just feels like I've crossed a barrier. And now it's just the whole that whole spectrum of paces or times is mine for the taking. And I can just, I can do it, I will do it. So we interesting to see next year, I'm very confident with this now that I'll be able to go sub three for the marathon next year. But that's like a year from now. My plan is to do a 5k build up next spring, but we'll talk about my plan going forward in another video. Anyway, those were my splits, my heart rate, I did not look at my heart rate like I've done in past races, but I had it had the heart rate monitor on. But I didn't want to look at it, I just want to feel my body instead of looking at the numbers all the time. But it turns out it was around where it usually is for my, for my half marathons, which is just around 190 per, 190 beats per minute, 190. So I have a max heart rate of 205 or 206. So technically that's above my lactate threshold, or perhaps just at it, but you know, the adrenaline and everything, it makes makes the heart rate a little higher during races. Anyway, that was the pacing and the heart rate. Looking back at it, I realized that I was perhaps running slower than I could have. I'm pretty sure that I could have actually gone faster. I think honestly, I could probably go 127 something below 128 even. I'm pretty sure I could do that. Because of the feeling that I had throughout the race, which was the feeling of being totally in control, not really suffering until the last few kilometers when I was pushing it a lot, of course. And of course, I'm not saying I wasn't, I was not relaxed. I was working hard. I was working steady. It was hard work. It took effort, no doubt. But it felt like I could have kept going for longer though, in that pace, which means that I could probably run two or three seconds faster on average per kilometer and still finish strong, which would have been sub 128 actually. But that's totally fine. I'm not not at all upset about that, the fact that I could have gone faster. I'm happy that I did it just the way I did it. Why? Because I didn't know it was like uncharted territory for me, right? I didn't know exactly what to expect. So I didn't want to blow my chance of going sub 90 this time. I wanted that 129. I needed it. I feel like I really needed it. If I didn't go below 130 in this try, I would be very frustrated to be perfectly honest. And I didn't want to blow it. I wanted to be conservative and just run steady. So I just stayed in that pack. And I think also probably that I got a lot, or definitely I got a lot out of being in the pack, mentally knowing we're in it together, physically, you know, in terms of the air resistance, there was less air resistance, less wind in the pack, of course. And also just mentally not having to worry about whether I was on pace or not, just sort of surrendering a little bit to the pace of the pack and the pacers and allowing myself to mentally just trust that I was going to make it. So that was good. And of course, if I actually left that pack and tried to go sub 128 and I ran alone the whole time, would I've been able to, like that would have been much harder. So maybe I wouldn't be able to go actually sub 128. I don't know. I don't know. But I'm pretty sure that next year I'll be able to go sub 125. Actually, I hope so. With a lot of training, of course, a lot of training. I'm very motivated to train now, as always, let a little bit about nutrition and hydration. So there's two, there's two 10 k loops, right, or two 10 and a half ish k loops for a total half marathon. And there's two aid stations on each lap. So four aid stations total. I had my sugar mix, just maltodextrin fructose and an electrolyte mix basically just salt, like sodium and potassium and some other things, chloride, a little magnesium I think in there, that I mixed together by myself, basically a gel, and I have it in this little squeezy thing that I had in my belt went fine. I think I had about 120 grams of carbohydrate total divided by four aid stations. I knew where the aid stations were, so well before approaching the aid station, like two minutes before or something, I would take out the squeezy bottle and I would take my sugar, put it back, relax, swallow the sugar, which was very thick, and then get to the aid station and sort of flush it down with water. I would have water at the aid stations and I knew I needed to get in about 150 milliliters of water, which is like a small cup really at aid stations, but I knew also that I would spill a lot and it's difficult to drink while running. So I usually, I always grab two cups and then I squeeze them in the middle at the top, right, cardboard cups, so there's this little bit of like a spout, is that the right word, where you could sort of pour it in like a bottle almost. So I did that but it was difficult. It was difficult to get it in running in that pace. I would choke on the water and cough and I would get it everywhere and so did everyone else. So I don't think I got as much water in during the first lap, the two aid stations, as I should have. So on the second lap, also knowing that I was definitely gonna go sub 90 or I was pretty sure anyway, unless something crazy happened in the latter third of the race. So because I was confident with the pace, I decided instead to start slowing down more at the aid stations and almost stop actually.  Probably lost five seconds on each aid station, 10 seconds total, but that was worth it. So during the last few kilometers, I went really hard as I said and I actually started getting a cramp in my right calf and my, you know, I had a calf strain a few months ago and I did something really stupid at the beginning of the race. I jumped over a fence to get into the pace group in the field and I jumped over a fence and I strained my calf again in the same place or I re-injured it or basically it ripped it up a little bit and that was like, oh my god, no. What have I done?  Luckily, I didn't. I didn't notice the calf pain at all during the race until those last few kilometers though. And now it is pretty bad. It's not bad really, but it's frustrating. So rehab again, but yeah, don't jump over fences before races basically. And also really, actually I don't like the idea of doing a kick like that at the end of a race. I prefer just running a little faster overall, you know, average pace a little faster and perhaps, you know, a little bit faster in the last couple of kilometers, but not that much faster because I felt like the injury risk was pretty big during those last kilometers for me. Not so cool. I've got a lot of cool footage though. Some pictures also that I bought from the professional photographers and also Thomas took pictures, my mom and dad took pictures and my brother, Mads. So go check out my Instagram, there's a link in the description. I'm putting out a lot of good content there, I feel like. So definitely follow me on Instagram and follow me on Strava too, there's a link in the description to actually look at the race details, to look at my training log, that sort of thing. Now these last couple of days I've just been resting, no training at all, no training today either. The rest of this week I'll do some cross training, a little bit of light strength, some cycling, some swimming. And then from next week onwards I'll start running again. So basically a week off running, I feel like that's a good idea. And then building it back up again and getting into a new base training phase where I'm going to try and push the volume a lot. Anyway, I think that's it for now, I think that's probably more details than anyone asked for. If you stick around this far, you probably as nerdy about running as I am and you can definitely leave a comment perhaps to tell me what you think about what I just said, any ideas or thoughts that you want to share regarding this race or maybe about your own training, let me know how your own training is going. Are you training for a sub 90? Are you training for a sub two hour half marathon perhaps? Or any distance, any goal, it's all about pushing our own limits and growing and evolving and chasing down new challenges. That's what it's all about. I honestly don't think that winning the Olympics would make me any happier than what just happened in this half marathon. For me to go now sub 130, which has been a goal for a while and just to have a good race and just feel so amazing and have such a good day with my family, my friends and with this whole event, I honestly don't feel like I could be any happier. I was super happy. I'm still super happy and satisfied with that and now I'm looking for new goals and chasing new PRs of course.  I would get more money for sure. It would be more prestige, but I don't know that I would be more happy about it. I actually think that at any level of running, you can be perfectly happy and ecstatic when you're reaching your goals regardless of the level. Anyway, thanks for subscribing. Stay tuned for that race vlog coming up soon and I hope your own running is going well. Thanks for watching. Bye.


Most nutrients consumed by humans do not stay in the body, but leave the body with the urine almost in the same amount as they were consumed. Since nutrients in urine originate from arable land and its given crops, it is only logical to close the nutrient loops by giving them back to the arable land. One person produces on average 1.5 litres of urine per day, which is around 550 litres of urine per person per year. From this amount, 4,000 grams are nitrogen, 400 grams are phosphorus and 1,000 grams are potassium. However, nutrients concentration, as well as the amount of urine produced, depends on factors such as diet, climate, gender, water intake, physical activity and body size. Urine can be used as a complete fertilizer that also includes micronutrients and can replace expensive fertilizers. The nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium contained in urine are three of the most important nutrients for plant growth. However, urine should only be applied after its dilution with water and the soil should have enough humus to absorb soluble nutrients and trace elements. It should be noted that urine also contains pharmaceutical residues and synthetic hormones that will also be taken up by the plants along with the water. Additionally, social acceptance for the use of urine in agriculture is low. Therefore, options like urine use in reforestation or industrial crops are recommended. The yearly urine production of one person could fertilize 400 square metres of land per year if urine is to be used as a nitrogen fertilizer. If the goal is to replace the phosphorus, 600 square metres would be the potential fertilization area. Urine has high hygiene quality compared to feces. The risk of urine contamination is mainly a result of cross-contamination by pathogens contained in feces. This can be overcome by separating the urine from the feces through urine-diverting toilets or urinals. Even though they are less common, urinals for women have also been developed. After separation, urine can be stored as a hygiene treatment. This increases the pH and the ammonium concentration, improving in this way the diophrase of pathogens. When a family's urine is used to fertilize individual plots, the optimal storage period is one month. If the urine is collected from many households or facilities, a storage period of at least six months is recommended. The use of urine is an important step to regenerate land management and it contributes to the reduction of fresh water usage and ground and surface water contamination.

If you want to toggle between the two go to the cog up top switch the view down below. We're going to be duplicating tabs like we do every time to put reports in right click on the tab to duplicate and then we'll do that again. You might say that we're duplicating the process of duplication then we're going to go to the middle one we're going to go to the reports on the left we're going to then go to the balance sheet one of the standards by the way if you're in the business view the reports they're in the business overview they're in the reports on the left hand side that's where they are that's where they are back to the tab to the right reports on the left this time the profit and loss the big P to the L otherwise known as the income statement let's change that range up top if I may<PHONE_NUMBER>22 run it to refresh it back to the middle tab closing the bugger changing the range 010122 tab 123122 tab and run that to refresh it back to the first tab let's open the bank feeds because that's where our focus is that's on the banking easily done banking tab if you're in the business view by the way the bank feeds are in the bookkeeping and then transactions up top and then the banking transactions that's where you gotta go if you're in the other view the business view that is okay we've been looking on the sales side of stuff let's go into our flu chart to see our scenario so remember at the end of the flow of the revenue cycle we expect deposits in the checking account in some way shape or form but the way that flow will happen will be dependent upon what type of industry we're in if we just have gig work we saw that we could just make a deposit record income as it clears the bank that would be nice and easy but we might be in a situation where we have a cash register we have to deal with that we'll deal with that in a future presentation now we're thinking about a scenario where we're getting paid for work that we did in the past and therefore have to invoice clients track the accounts receivable and then get payments in the future that means that the invoice increases accounts receivable the other side goes to revenue then we receive the payment which can do one of two things it could they always decrease accounts receivable and then the other side could either go directly into the checking account for the payment that we received or it can go into a clearing account which used to be called undeposited funds they now call payments to deposit but the point is it's not yet in the checking account you put it in the clearing account for a couple different reasons one being that if you get multiple payments from cash or a credit card that are going to be deposited into the checking account physically into the checking account in a grouping of multiple received payments or sales receipts then you need the clearing account so that we can put it in our system in the cash account in the same grouping that will match what's on the bank's side helping us with the bank reconciliation process which could be aided with the use of the bank feeds and that's kind of what we're going to focus in on here so last time we talked about connecting the bank feeds to an invoice which you could only really do if you made the invoice and you expect the payment to come through in the same dollar amount for an individual sale by individual sale same thing is so if you're getting an electronic payment from the customer or if you're getting a check from the customer then you might be able to do that we then talked about the receive payment and connecting a bank feed to the receive payment in both methods either if you deposit directly into the checking account with the receive payment or go to the clearing account but again to connect the bank feed waiting till something clears the bank in order to connect it to the receive payment you could only do that if you're getting the deposit in your bank account matches each individual sale so that you can connect it out if that's not the case say you have cash sales for example and then you're going to take multiple cash sales that you have received money on now and deposit them into the bank in a lump sum then you're going to have to take that final step of putting it into the clearing account of amounts to be deposited undeposited funds and then enter it into the bank in the same grouping that is going to be seen on the bank statement and that way then the bank feeds are just going to match out to what we have on on our side helping us to reconcile and notice we'll have a similar issue with the sales receipts so if you had a cash register situation you're going to have a similar issue if you're getting cash sales or credit card sales you probably can't just wait till something clears the bank and match it to the to the create sales receipts you're going to have to take it and you're more likely to have to take it in and out of this this clearing account because you're going to have this reconciling issue of grouping multiple sales together when you make the deposit into the checking account all right so let's get into it we're going to we're going to go over here i'll see if i can explain that a little bit better as we do our example problem i'm going to right click on the tab up top make one more uh tab i'm going to i'm going to try to tie this into this deposit over here so this is the deposit that's going to clear this 150 so so i'm going to try to make two invoices now to show this issue of having multiple invoices that are going to kind of group together to make up this one deposit that hit the checking account of 150 to show you that that kind of issue all right let's go to the first tab let's make the first one let's just make a new invoice and let's say this was i don't know what customer i'm i'm thinking about customer six customer number six can't you just make up a name cuss cuss i can't even spell customer okay i can't even do that she's giving me a break can't you just make it's so generic man it's so generic all right whatever whatever just deal with it this is going to be on 10 10 let's say 10 10 22 and then we're going to say down here this is going to be a service let's say hours and let's say this one was 50 and the other one will be 100 making the 150 right so this is going to what it's going to do it's going to increase the accounts receivable because it's an invoice the other side's going to go to revenue for the $50 and then the sub ledger of the customer will be tracked for customer number six before we check it out on the financials let's do another one to to get to that 150 so i'll make another one so instead of saying save and close i'm going to say save and new save and new let's do customer let me guess customer number seven yes customer number seven customer number seven oh my goodness gracious it's just ridiculous my fingers aren't working because people are taunting me with my uncreativeness i'm going to let's say this happened on 10 10 2 all right and then this is going to be hours let's make this 100 so the adding up of those two will then add up to that 150 so let's save it and check out this is going to be saving close this time what happens to our financials if i go to my financial my balance sheet and run it accounts receivable is going to go up by those two invoices there's six and seven the 100 the 150 and then if i go back on over and i look at my profit and loss and refresh it it refresh it then we're going to go in here and it has two going up by the 100 and the 50 and the sub ledger is going to go up and let's just check that internally going to the tab to the left sales on the left hand side and then i've got i feel like i've got a really itchy nose here right now it's annoying i'm going to sneeze i'm going to anyways this is going to be down in six and seven uh so here's the 100 and the 150 so the next thing we're going to do of course is the received payment on them in the sub ledger that would be the next step that we would expect to be happened you can also be tracking these by going to the uh hand buggy and then sales and uh all sales and so you can check these out by the open invoices and so now you've got your open invoices here as well now if you're in the business view by the way the customers are located in the get paid and pay area and then customers and that other sales tracking item is in bookkeeping and then transactions and then the all sales so you can track it that way if you're using that method okay so then let's go with the received payment so once again now i have this step done the next thing is to receive the payment i could in the prior presentation i matched one time a uh a deposit to the invoice i can't do that this time because the deposit is going to be for 150 dollars and neither one of these invoices are for 150 dollars because they got grouped together because they were either cash sales or credit card sales let's say when they actually hit our checking account so that's the issue i can't so now i can't tie out my my deposit wait till it clears the bank and then tie it out to the invoice so i have to make the sales receipt in this system i'd have to say okay i got to do a sales receipt and then i'm going to say okay this happened let's say on 10 11 just to switch things up let's pretend it was a cash that we received now i can't put it directly into the checking account i could but if i did then i'm going to end up with two items on the checking account for one for 100 one for 150 that i need to match to what's on the bank which is reflected through the bank feed of 150 you see and that's going to be a matching problem it's not going to match out properly so to match it out properly that's why we have this payment to deposit which is like the undeposited funds that you might be used to which it used to be called so this is going to decrease accounts receivable decrease the sub ledger for customer seven and record it not into the checking account but rather in the clearing account payment to deposit so that we can then do the added step of taking it out of there and putting it into the checking account as 150 instead of 150 so we can then tie it out to the bank feeds helping us out with the reconciliation all right let's save it and close it and then let's do the other one this 50 i'm going to receive the payment on it as well and so i'm going to say boom boom boom it's going into payments to deposit this is going to reduce accounts receivable the other side's going to go into the clearing account and it's going to reduce the sub ledger for customer six let's save and close that so now over here if i look at my customers then if i go into my customers area and check them out customer seven for example we have now created an invoice the invoice has been paid it's now closed and it's connected to this payment so it looks looks beautiful internally if i go to my financials the balance sheet running it now i've got not a checking account yet accounts receivable went down so now i've got the increases and decreases just like we would expect to happen invoice increase payment decrease and then the other side is going to go to the clearing account which is like undeposited fund which has that 150 but that 150 it's comprised of these two items for the one for the 50 and the 100 if these two items went directly to the checking account again they would be in there as two separate items which would not be reflecting what's going to clear the bank account of 150 making it difficult for us to match out and so that's why we need to then use this clearing account and then the next step would be that we'll have to do on our side is we're imagining we physically go to the bank and we deposit the money that we got 150 dollars into the bank if i go to the first tab hit the plus button we can do the deposit form internally now and we're going to say quickbooks gives us nice little thing here which gives us the payments anything that's in the payments area as well as the cash receipts which is the points of sale transactions that we'll take a look at later so i can group them together and if these were both cash sales that happened or i received them on the same day right then i can i would deposit them together into the checking account as 150 which is what will be reflected on the bank statement so i'm going to check those two off this is going to increase the checking account but by 150 but not by two separate transactions by one transaction and decrease undeposited funds giving us the detail so we can see those two transactions in undeposited funds the clearing account so we can take and tie them off let's do it save it and close it i'll show you what i'm talking about what are you babbling about i'm telling you just let's just let me show you let me show you it makes perfect sense so this is going to be the 150 that's going to go in here somewhere it was like in the tens there it is 150 so there's the 150 recorded as a deposit so if i go into that it takes us back to the deposit form notice it's in here not as two amounts but one amount that's the point that helps us to reconcile that helps us to match to the bank feed the other side decreased the clearing account of doneday estah there it is so then we're going to say this is going to be notice it put it in here not as 150 but broke the two out so we can take and tie so it's kind of a neat quickbooks does a good job of that the way they group them in the ledgers so they help us to maximize our ability to kind of take and tie there whereas on the bank side of things it should match the bank feed now if i go to my bank feed transactions and i wait till it clears the bank if i refresh it it'll probably be able to match it up so i'm going to refresh the screen with a little refreshy circle you know the circle refresh button and then it'll probably pick that up it's probably smart enough to do that smarter than smarter than i am i know that dang robots think they're so smart i'm gonna say this is gonna so they matched it up here based on basically the date and just a dollar amount we couldn't match it up notice it wouldn't be able to match up very cleanly if we had those two amounts that we're trying to tie out to to to it so that's why we have to use that that undeposited funds to help us with that transaction typically okay so it finds it what's this gonna do when i record it nothing it's not gonna do anything new because now we're doing a full service accounting system we've recorded everything on our end and we're just double checking it to the bank which is still required still necessary and still helpful to have the bank feed to help us do but it's basically just helping us to do the bank reconciliation that we would want to do anyways instead of us constructing our books from the bank feed so a lot of small businesses might have this kind of setup meaning they might be doing their their payment side of things on a basis where they're reliant on the bank feeds because they're paying all of their outflows like telephone utility and supplies with the with the bank transactions so they can record those with bank feeds and memorize them automate them but if you're in an industry where you have to collect or bill have an invoice situation for work that was done in the past they're likely to be on a full service system there meaning they're going to record the full thing and enter the deposit on their end and then simply reconcile match to what's on the bank feeds which helps with the bank reconciliation process and we'll talk more about bank reconciliation later so that that is that one so next time maybe we'll spend a little bit of time on the the sales receipt which would be what would happen if you're at like a cash register type of situation you have a similar issue that we saw with the received payments in terms of being able to match out the bank feeds to the sales receipt but most likely you'll have that problem of having multiple sales that are going into the checking account so you can have to use that clearing account again and use the bank feeds to just kind of match out so we'll talk about that later


You are actually very serious when you are recording. What did I learn today? Well, I learned that there is a great Python community in Prague and it would be great to organize maybe the next EuroPython there. That would be fantastic, a great city, great people, great beer, that would be fantastic. Today, today I learned, well, how to do an interview, I guess. The community, the people and talking and learning new things, I don't know, it's fun. We had a really interesting discussion about EuroPython society and, you know, how things were before, how things are right now. There were some really interesting conversations about what could be done to be like more community-centered, for us to be more community-centered, how we can help more open-source organizations and, more specifically, just be more closer to the community. So, today at EuroPython I learned about how the new Python versions will be optimized and how they will run faster. I think that's great news for the future of Python. EuroPython is the gathering of different groups, different thoughts, different ideas but everybody is sticking together with a common language, which is Python. Something I really liked learning about, which was really cool, was these VS Code Pets, which you can have some pets running around in VS Code. And what I really liked about EuroPython is now that we're not remote anymore, it's actually talking to people, meeting people and interacting, and especially comparing developer setups, which we were just doing just now. That's really cool. During our preparations for EuroPython, I've learned some animal parts, like the giraffes have actually vocal vocals, and they can speak. Everything everyone does with Python, and that's probably one of my favorite things.  And that's really, really cool. This year in EuroPython, I've learned a lot about streaming and video cameras and other things. Knowing people and knowing many different societies, the EuroPython Society members and Python community members, but I think it's very important if you want to be occupied, if you want to participate in this journey. I think my favorite thing about EuroPython as well, the people, the people at EuroPython are just fantastic. It's the best people I've ever met. For me it's like a nerd camp for all the nerds, so it's really nice to meet all the people that I see only once per year at the conference. Talks are really nice. I learned, for example, about linters for the import statements, which I still have to read about, but I learned quite a lot from that talk. This year meeting a lot of friends in person. So I've been in Euro for three years and this is my first time meeting all of you in real life, and that was a chance of it. I got five minutes to prepare for a session share, and then after all I got loads of people coming, saying thank you and saying that they loved it. So I think that was a great job, and I had fun doing it. I think every, every day there is something new and funny. I think it's just fantastic. I really recommend Europe-Bitone, and hopefully see you next year.


Hey there friends. Thanks for checking in at the range now We're going to do a comparison with two very nice handguns here. We have the Ruger American compact versus the Walther PPQ subcompact both polymer frames striker fire handguns that have some similar features But some different things that set them apart both have three and a half inch barrels Let's start with the Ruger American very nice gun This is the compact model the larger Ruger American sort of the same thing, but this is a little bit smaller They have grip modules this whole piece here that can be changed out to fit the shooter's hand size It's a nice feature 12 rounds in the magazine And it also accepts the larger mags from the full-size Ruger American six pound trigger a pick rail Novak three dot sights and the dexterous with both the magazine release and the slide stop sight hole indicator and A nice shooter. It's loaded weight with 12 rounds 33 and a quarter ounces. Let's see how it does And there we go I've always held this gun in high regard. I Really do like it and I've always liked the American I said from the onset when Ruger came out with the American that that was their best Semi-auto handgun to date, but here we have the PPQ subcompact now the full-size PPQ is an amazing gun There's no disputing that this is like the American The same thing just a little bit smaller. It's got a short grip here It also accepts the larger PPQ mags It has a sweet five and a half pound trigger also a pick rail front serrations three dot sights Sight hole indicator and this is also ambidextrous with the slide stop Nice Handgun all-in-all and I have always enjoyed this one too. That's what makes this Competition or this comparison is so close already mentioned three and a half inch barrel and Accepts the larger Ruger PPQ mags. Let's take a few shots all right PPQ nice shooting handgun and typically when I Compare the PPQ. It's hard to beat it really is hard to beat So these are two good handguns are very nice what I'm wondering is which one do you prefer the most? Well, let me give you my opinion I was waiting to shoot these side-by-side I actually shot the PPQ better in this comparison, but there have been other times Shot the American compact better, so I can't base my opinion on what you just saw If that was the case I choose the PPQ subcompact, but in this case, I'm actually going with the Ruger American It's a little bit heavier. All right, but I really enjoy its overall feel I think it's very well balanced and I do like the way they have that magazine there for three-finger contact when I fire it It feels just like the full-size American now the PPQ subcompact is Amazing and I thought when I first got this that they would make additional Base plates so that three-finger contact can be had with this and I it may be out there I checked a little bit. I haven't seen it, but this actually offers two-finger contact. Is that a deal-breaker? No, it shoots amazing and it always has since the day I got it So this was a tough one for me very much, but I'm making a call I'm going with this one and I'll say this is just a micro Millimeter whatever that means a little bit behind in this comparison I want to know what you think if you like videos like this, please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button. Thanks for watching and you guys be safe
