Show off our ship and your work, so I appreciate everything that went into that. Awesome. Big player in there. Well, thanks for what you've done. Thank you for that. The United States Navy has ruled the seas in a way that we didn't really have a peer competitor and really our ability to figure out as a blue-green team, how can we do that together?


So we're here at KORU, and who are you? Hey, I'm Christian Lindholm, the CEO of KORU. We are a wearable UI framework creator. We built a small, optimized wearable OS that enables manufacturers to get faster to market, enables longer battery life, and we can then provide through our framework is architected so that presentation and logic is separated, which allows that we can easily have different types of interfaces running and we can get smooth graphics and have different types of experiences through using different layers in the graphics. So can you do this on a Cortex-M4? Absolutely. All this? Yes, we can run at 60 frames per second on a Cortex-M4. Our whole OS on the ST Microsystem STM32F4 development board boots in less than 500 milliseconds. So from power-up to a complete UI and application running, that's 500 milliseconds. So this UI right now, this watch is an ARM V7 based Motorola from a couple of years ago. How do you run your software in there? So we run the device in boot mode and we use this to prototype and experiment with. So we can then load a different experience. So here's an experience that's done by a company in northern Finland called Creole.  And here you then have essentially four sections. So up, down, left, and right. So if you go into messaging, one of the enablers our platform provides is this type of very smooth scrolling where you use content in the background. We have these types of bounce backs. We have this kinetic type of scrolling and use physics to create the smoothness in graphics. So subsequently, again, changing the design from the one I showed previously to this is really mainly effort in changing the style sheet and the graphics. What is the platform that Motorola ships? The base platform here is Android Linux. So we're running on the Android kernel. But our platform is liquid. So we work on FreeRTOS, on Android, on Linux, NetBSD, Raspberry Pi, Mac, PC. So you can run on Android and you can also make it run on no need for Android. No need for Android. Because Cortex-M4 cannot run Android. No. And that's what wearable makers leverage now increasingly FreeRTOS as a base. And we think we're the only platform that provides 60 frames per second smooth graphics. We have a component library of 60 components ready to build any kind of interface. So our vision is really that, you know, let's have millions of different experiences on wearable so that it really can become lifestyle driven, fashion driven and beautiful for the end users. So if you want millions, do you have to make it open source and free? No, I think the model can be a licensing model as well. Because I think there will be lots of makers of wearables going forward. Can you make it open source and licensable? I don't know. The business model really, the market will determine the right business model. Right now we are using a licensing model because we really want to make sure that we can provide good service to our customers. So you say it's a scalable operating system. So it's not just a new UI layer? Well, technically speaking, it's a UI framework. So it is the top layer of the OS. But you need a lot of different things there. Do you have everything already? Well, the kernel level would provide the connectivity layers to Bluetooth, to sensors. They either get implemented using Linux, Android Linux or FreeRTOS increasingly. But I guess there's a lot of UI requirements or ideas and all that. Can you implement all the stuff that people would like to have on a smartwatch, for example? Well, having already 70 different building blocks, you can actually have imagination as your limit. So I think if somebody of our customers would come up with an idea for a component, then we'd be happy to implement that. Because in OS sometimes you want to be able to add some apps, right? Is that something you can do? So yes, of course, apps then can be built on top of this. So that's what our customers are doing, they're building the apps on top. And they typically want to own them and control them and that's what they can do. They could also open it up with third-party apps? Well, we can open it up and even our customers could open it up. So what do you think is going to be the market for wearable? Is it going to be a lot of Android? And will there be something like this below cheaper than Android? Well, I hope that in this paradigm when the computer migrates from the pocket to the body, that we actually do take into account lifestyle and fashion and personal taste. And this is the vision that KORU is all built on. And this is the vision that we would like the world to adopt. Because we think that way we can really amplify our personal flair and our personal style with the electronics we wear.


Think tech away, civil engagement lives here. Okay, we're back to likeable science here on a given Friday afternoon with our chief scientist, Ethan Allen. Welcome back to your show, Ethan. Glad to be here. Thanks for joining me. You know, we were talking just a moment ago about how it wouldn't be great to get back to the 17th century, because, you know, then there wouldn't be all these complications that technology and science have wrought for us. But there wouldn't be any benefits either. There wouldn't be any dentists to help fix your teeth is the problem.   Right. And, you know, I'd be in favor of that, you know, I mean, although there are ethical considerations to it, I feel a lot like that. But you know, as long as they don't disappear, you and me, as long as we can finish our show here. There we go. I'm good. But it would make the world a kind of easier place in many ways. Yeah. If you thought 90% of the population people on earth were gone, there's a lot less pressure on things. Less pressure. Hopefully the people as they recovered could not make the same mistakes we had made before. Yeah. Yeah. And the science would be rolled back. Maybe we need that. And that takes me to the title of our show, here on Likeable Science. Your genes, your privacy and the public good, whatever's left of the public good these days, rights to privacy against law enforcement obligations and new technologies that allow them to play out those obligations. Right. And we're talking specifically about the incident where the Golden State serial killer, whatever it was, he was found only a week or two ago on the basis of DNA evidence. Right. Can you tell the story? Well, so this guy had done multiple murders and rapes back in the 1970s in California, I think around the Sacramento area. Never left much trace, but did leave a little DNA they were able to find on one scene I guess or a couple scenes. They weren't able ever to do anything with that. But now because of sites, I don't know which site it was, they didn't specify whether it was Ancestry.com or 123ME or whatever. These sites where people upload samples of their DNA basically and search for relatives and want to know more about their ancestry. So the police basically took that DNA they had sitting there, sort of made a profile of this guy and stuck it up and said, you know, why my matches? And I don't find who my family is here. And they found family basically. And when they found family members, they were then able to triangulate better. And sure enough, they found this guy who had been, who was an ex-cop, who lived in that same area at that same time and suddenly one thing led to another and they were able to make a convincing case that it was him. That's stranger than fiction. This would be great on CSI. I'm only sorry on CSI. I didn't pick it up. Maybe they will later in one of the episodes. It'll be interesting to see it in the court case. I mean, they had to follow him around and get samples of his DNA without his knowledge basically from things he left and things he touched. Is that an invasion of something? Well, some courts I think have held that. And I don't know what the current US rulings are on that. And there was a whole issue of the people who posted their DNA there. That guy's family basically. Was their privacy invaded in some way? I don't know. Yeah. Maybe they didn't like him anyway. They did apparently, those people all did sign something on that website that sort of said your data as well as looking for your relatives, your data may be used for other purposes. Other purposes meaning criminal investigation. It wasn't specified apparently. But this article in Nature pointed out, you know, we're gonna have to be sort of addressing this kind of stuff and we can't just sort of let it fall by the wayside and have things like this keep happening. Right. Yeah. Let's unpack for a minute. Okay. So the guy commits all these crimes and he leaves his DNA in some places, maybe his hair, something like skin, who knows what. And the police even years later, you know, because at the time he did this, the DNA technology was really not in play. So later on years they go back and they look at what I suppose that the bodies or the scenes of the crime and they find examples of his hair and his skin and nails, what have you. I suspect they pulled that stuff out knowing it was evidence of time but they couldn't do much with it. Ah, maybe so. Yeah. Yeah. Until I had him to match it with. Yeah. Yeah.  But let's assume they could show a good chain of custody even years later because the more time it goes by, the more difficult it is to show the chain of custody because the witnesses who would tell you how it got from point A to point B aren't around. Right. And the systems may not be as explicit as they are today. Okay, so now we have this DNA and it's one of those closed cases. There's a program on television like that, closed cases and some investigators, some smart investigators, hmm, we have DNA, let's see what we can do with Ancestry or one of the others. And so they go to Ancestry and they say, we have the DNA and here are the specs of the DNA. Look in your database for what, genetic characteristics which I guess must be reduced to numerical factor, numerical data. Right. And sequences. Sequences. Sequences. They say, you know, what do you got that's like this? And apparently the science is such now that they can actually find what they got like this, that must be an interesting experience. Right. And the data, you know, the dots and dashes and the zeros and ones, they match up at least to some extent, not a lot necessarily, but close enough to say, hmm, this is a lead. Right. God, CSI must be wild about this. Okay, so, all right, so now we got a lead. We know it's not the same person or we can assume. They didn't have a perfect match. Not a perfect match. They could have had a perfect match. Except he had never put his DNA up on that. Ah, okay, right.  Exactly. Exactly. And furthermore, you know, if you have any relatives around, tell them not to do it either. You know, we're going to jail. Goodness. Okay, so they find people who are close. Right. How close are these people they found? I don't, I don't know the details of that. I assume, again, by the percentage match to the DNA they had, the sample from the suspect, they could say, these are likely siblings or uncles and aunts or cousins. They could probably give a rough relationship match, again, that then narrows the pool of suspects, basically. So they can tell the proximity in a family way. So they can actually create, I guess, sort of ancestry does this, doesn't it? Right. They can create a kind of a family tree based on what they have. Right. And certainly they can see if this guy, his DNA, is in or close to that tree by the proximate, you know, proximate data. Yeah, they've done it thousands of times, found people's long lost relatives. Sure. Sure. They do it all the time, don't they? Yeah. Yeah. Different parentage than you thought. You know, like, oops, all kinds of different things. They weren't thinking of chasing serial killers when they invented that. No. No. They wanted to make some money and help you understand your ancestry, right? Right. They never thought. Right. Somebody had the bright idea of going to them. Right. Now, this is interesting. So the cop, and I know he's the kind of cop that we'd see on television all day long, handsome, you know, he said, he wakes up one day, aha. He says, I will go to ancestry. What a bright guy. He must have had scientific training, yeah? Maybe he was on one of our shows with you. So he says, aha, I will go to ancestry and I will see if they can make a match or a close match on this. Okay. What does ancestry say to him?  I suspect, it's my reading between the lines and what I've read. He didn't say this is a police investigation. He just uploaded a profile.  Oh, like it was his. Sure. No search warrant. No judge involved. No nothing. And again, the data on these databases is, to some extent, public data. People have signed off, typically, in saying that it's public data. You know, they understand. They want it searched, right? Sure. Find my ancestry. It's mine. Find my ancestry. You don't put it up there and expect it to be shielded and protected and hidden away and nobody gets to see it because there'd be no point up there. Sure. The idea is to mind a match. Right, yeah. Yeah, that's what it's all about. So it's very interesting. And there are people who are very upset at the police who feel it was a big overreach. I'm sure the killer is really ticked off. I'm sure the killer's attorneys are working big time to find what do we have that we can, yeah. I mean, there have been those cases in other places about dealing with that kind of thing. Is your DNA your own?  Or can the police now pick that up and get DNA off of that legally? Yeah.  So it's sort of a fair game for them to grab. I suppose I snoop in your trash can. Right. I mean, I don't know if trash cans are protected these days or maybe not, but...  But who knows, you know, there's lots of ways to see people into providing their DNA. But the technology, yeah, it's getting so much better, somebody brushes by you in a crowded street and they may have brushed by you and swabbed you, you know.  Just, you know, take a little hair.  I mean, one is, can the police do this? They're kind of deceiving ancestry. Right. You know, is that protected? It's going to have to go up the courts, I think. Right. The other thing is, suppose you were wanting to find out something about somebody and so you somehow managed to get some DNA. You could pretend to be that person and you could find out a lot of things about that, you know, genetic things about that person. Oh, yeah. Family, her family way back when. Sure, sure.    Right. If you mind? Doesn't take much though. The following day I sent it to Ancestry and now I know, you know, who's who. Right. I can find out who her, you know, family is. Right. Whether they're rich or poor, I can look them up, right? Right. I can find out who the real person is. So apparently a few years ago in Sweden they had one of their kings, I think King Alfred, or some bones they thought were King Alfred, but it wasn't clear and they actually went in and did this and confirmed that it really was him. But the Swedes refused to release the sequences because they pointed out, yeah, this would give all kinds of information to family members about health issues, about relatedness. Sure. You know, that sort of, they didn't need to know particularly. Sure. You know, you can get all kinds of information, including information that you and I cannot even figure out yet. Oh, yeah. You know, it could be anything and everything, including medical information. It could be incredibly valuable stuff to know in advance, too.  And... If I'm about to marry you and have a bad end, you know. Yeah. You have to know about that. Put your affairs in order early on and be sure everything's clean and neat, right? Yeah. So, yeah. Okay. And suppose I'm interviewing you for a job and I take you out to the company cafeteria and I say after you finish your coffee... Can I please have your coffee cup? Right. I like to, you know, keep the coffee cup in my file folder. Yeah. And the following day you're checking up on everything about this person. I would need... You don't need a search warrant? I would not be surprised to find that kind of stuff goes on. Yeah. At all, at all. You don't say a word.   But they're watching this program. They will be. Don't watch. So, you know, what's going on here is sort of an acceleration of technology that can find out the secrets of our lives right down to our cell structure and our DNA without us necessarily knowing about it and then taking that information and using that in, you know, in business context, in family context, in criminal context. Yeah. And it's, again, it's one of these interesting issues where the science and technology have sort of gotten out a little bit ahead of the control systems for them and we don't quite know, you know, how we can and how we should use this. I mean, with nuclear bombs, right, we did that, we use them rightly or wrongly, you know, now everyone pretty much agrees. Like, that's a big no-no. You shouldn't, you shouldn't. Don't do a nuclear bomb. Yeah. Right. That's messy. Yeah, long, long. Yeah, but DNA and sequencing and all that. Right. We don't know yet. Yeah. But you know what? The good news, the good news is that right after this break, you and me, we're going to figure it out. We're going to know. We're going to come up with a solution on all of this. I can hardly wait. Aloha. My name is Mark Shklav. I'm the host of Think Tech Hawaii's Law Across the Sea. Law Across the Sea comes on every other Monday at 11 a.m. Please join us. I like to bring in guests that talk about all types of things that come across the sea to Hawaii, not just law, love, people, ideas, history. Please join us for Law Across the Sea. Aloha. Good afternoon. My name is Howard Wigg. I am the proud host of Code Green, a program on Think Tech Hawaii. We show at 3 o'clock in the afternoon every other Monday. My guests are specialists both from here and the mainland on energy efficiency, which means you do more for less electricity and you're generally safer and more comfortable while you're keeping dollars in your pocket.  That's Ethan Allen, our chief scientist of Think Tech. And during the discussions because it always leads to more and more questions. And, you know, we begin to see the, you know, the prospects of new technology and even look over the horizon and see even greater technology going forward.  That's a fabulous technology. You know, Ethan and I discussed that years ago. So, we're ahead of the game here. Thank you for that. You're welcome. It's always fun. Okay, so we know that there are draconian things that can happen, especially in criminal investigations, but maybe in many, many other things in the world. You know, government can be used for eugenics in the worst sort of way, right? Yeah, it's your essential, you. And you were saying during the break about viruses, about how we generate all these viruses. So, we don't even know the extent of the information that can be gathered about us. We are a tableau of bacteria and viruses and DNA. We have special footprints. My God, our chemical makeup, our biochemical makeup may be able to tell people what we've been doing ourselves, right? Sure. People can now actually, that is, if you put your finger down on the surface, they can not only pull DNA of yours off there, but they can pull enough DNA of the microbiota that lives on in your skin, they can essentially uniquely identify you by that, not even by your own DNA, but by the stuff that lives on you. Yeah. I mean, it's really amazing that we're more and more of this big data technology, the ability to look at data on a vast scale is really reshaping our understanding of the world. We didn't have any clue until a few years ago if the oceans are just filled with viruses. And they're, I mean, literally filled to the extent that they're always being, you know, blown up out of the water by salt spray and everything, and because viruses are so, so tiny, they're not affected by gravity, particularly so they drift actually above the jet stream and gradually just rain down upon us. And I say gradually to the tune of 800 million viruses per day, per square meter, all over the earth. It's incredible. I mean, it's incredible. We didn't know this. Now we know this. And what those viruses can tell us, not only putting your finger down, maybe you look in your brain, non-vasively and find out what you're thinking. Wasn't there a movie about this, Pre-Crime? Remember Pre-Crime? I didn't see Pre-Crime. Yeah, the Minority Report. You remember that one? So you get actually sense what the other guy is going to do, and then you, you know, you try to stop him. You prosecute him for a crime he didn't commit, but he is likely, predictably likely to commit. So, I mean, so much information that we could get, and we will get going forward, that we really have to take this moment and stop and think, you know, how does this affect our condition in the world? Exactly. There are now tests for certain receptors in certain tissues that you can take and that will predict people's tendency sort of towards high impulse behavior, you know. Or even criminal behavior. Well, yeah, and that's the thing, is people who really tend to have a lot of high impulse particularly given certain environmental conditions tend to be the people who are end up in the jails and committing a lot of crimes. And if you spot somebody with this, are you allowed, allowed now to take proactive steps and either hopefully help calm this person down, help give them a supportive environment where they're not going to want to channel their impulsivity into artistic creativity or something like this, you know. Yeah, well, I'm going back to CRISPR. You know, I can find that you have the tendencies that are going to create problems, social problems, so I take your DNA and I fix you, you know. You're not going to do that anymore. I splice and dice and your DNA has changed with CRISPR. This is coming in 60 minutes since the next five years. You and I will find out sooner than that. And so I'm changing you and I'm reducing the risk that you're going to be a social problem. But then I might find that I can't change you and I can't do it. In which case I give you that pill that we've talked about before. It'll make you disappear. It doesn't hurt. It'll just disappear. And so in a way we control the development of the species that way, one method or another by predicting what that individual will do. Right. But I mean, it's the same kind of thing. Can you medicate people against their will if they are presenting a danger to themselves or others. So schizophrenics. Yes. Often would rather deal with all the pain and agony of their schizophrenia rather than taking some particular first round, first round of drugs they developed which had really bad side effects. That's the problem. I mean if you let government, ooh, government, if you let government do it at once you know, such as protect us from socially unacceptable, what it considers socially unacceptable human beings that's really out of control. That's not consistent with our civilization if you want. The highest forms, the highest thinking in our civilization or civilization. So the question is, are we going to stop government from getting this information. I mean if you look at the Facebook example I don't think too much happened to stop Facebook. I think they just changed their public relations campaign. There's a piece about that today on HPR. So the question is, you know, are you going to try to stop government? Are the courts going to stop government? Are the courts going to say you can't get that information from Ancestry and use it to do a criminal investigation because it's invasive. I mean actually in Norway apparently they did that. There was a suspected killer who had then died at a hospital before he was actually convicted and the police wanted to get his DNA to sort of confirm this and the hospital said no. He's still got a right to privacy basically once he's dead, you know. That may be settled law in Sweden if it is settled. It's certainly not settled here. Right, yeah. And it seems to me that this is exactly the thing. It is more and more we're seeing that we're being faced with new questions about what is okay to do. But I mean your answer can we stop the government from doing that? I don't think we can. I mean big data is here to stay, you know. The technologies to gather it are now routine, widespread, growing every day. I mean I have to accept that. What about Walden Pond? We spoke of Walden Pond. Right, right. Why can't I go off into the woods with my DNA and be disconnected from all of this? And you can do it.  You know, somebody else can still probably track you down. My cusses? Right. They can scrape your DNA off your porch, you know. So how does this change my life? I mean, let's do it in a differential. One is if we stop the government from doing that, it's going to mean that I remain free to use that term. You know, from this kind of invasive investigation. This means like commercial applications and the bad guys are going to use that information. That's true. That's true. The bad guys can find me. The bad guys can look for you too in Walden Pond. But in any event my privacy is done. Even Trump said that recently. Privacy is done. And I think what it means is two things. One is there is no privacy. There's no you can't hide from your past. You can't hide from your cousins. You can't hide from the police or government ultimately unless the government takes a position on this. And that is going to change my conduct. I mean, is it fair to say do you think that I am less likely to be a serial killer if I know for this case that somebody can find me even if I cover my tracks? Yeah, one presumes that and I think studies have shown this. Basically if punishment for crimes is more swift and more certain the crime rate does tend to go down. If crime you can get away with it, your odds of being caught are low and the punishment even if you're caught is sure, you know, why not do the crime? So that's a positive thing. Right, in that sense it is. Again, like all these things it's a two-edged sword. But then government can abuse it. Government can want to make a certain subset disappear for reasons that are not good reasons and they can find the subset so easily. I mean think of all the racial stuff going on. If you have 132nd of some kind of racial blood or DNA, they're going to find you so easily using the same technique they used with the Golden, what do you call it, the killer in San Francisco. So that's pretty scary. You become subject to all kinds of bad things. And so now there's a whole thing, I'm sure there must be a black market in it is for sort of doing fake IDs in the sense of putting up a fake ancestry.com DNA sample, you know, and trying to essentially make the database unreliable, right, by confounding it with false data, with bad data. We talked about that before the show began it's so interesting to think that okay, you and I sitting here together we are assuming the science works. We are assuming the science is accurate and credible and that if I want to find that killer I think I can find him using the science but I can muck up that technology too. I can take the position that it's inaccurate I can meddle with it, I can somehow screw it up and then all of a sudden it's no longer credible. Right, and if that happens then the whole scientific enterprise suffers a blow and basically humanity does. I think it's pretty inarguable that science and technology really have vastly improved a lot of humans. More and more people live like we, you know, our infant mortality is a tiny fraction of what used to be our lives are longer, healthier, yes we don't spend years rotting teeth on our heads and I mean in a thousand ways we're better off due to science and technology so, you know, I don't want to see the trust in science deteriorated, you know I don't want to see that I plant your DNA next to a dead body and so now the police are all confused at a fundamental point of their investigation and then because you've done this show you have plenty of stuff that you can now make a video of me saying oh, I killed this guy, I was pissed off at him and I slaughtered him right, right, a confession essentially and I manipulate the sound the sound from the waveform of your voice, I've seen that and there I've confessed on tape and my DNA has been found next to the body what more do they need? just as this technology can be used to discover the killer it can be used to frame the killer and then, you know you go to court, ultimately I'm afraid the human condition requires going to court and hashing this all out and having a prosecutor at a defense whatever you need to argue that maybe it's not accurate or maybe it is accurate there was a question when fingerprinting first came out was that a legitimate technology to use was it meaningful, did it really identify people and it's now been well established it's pretty decent, if properly done and the judge or jury or the little black box machine which will succeed the judge or jury will have to determine whether it's likely, whether it's true whether the technology was properly used whether there's a frame going on and I suppose you would look at diverse sources of information multiple sources if you have them and you would let the trier of fact whether it's a judge or a jury or a little black box determine which one is right and which one is wrong and how you take them all together and what is to come out and so the technology would be used to figure out whether the technology was working there we go, right Ethan, I'm just so concerned that we live in a time where there seems to be such hope with this technology and yet I think we have to be wary that it can be used against us we can use it against ourselves others can use it against us and all you can do is remain informed absolutely, absolutely you got to stay up with it, it's why more and more we need good science education we need good technology education we need to have a world filled citizens who understand some of these issues and world filled with people who also have been taught good ethical behavior understand our obligations to one another and to our planet I hear you that's Ethan Allen, he's our chief scientist he's unlikable science and what he's telling you is keep watching this show, stay informed thank you Ethan thank you Jay


Something's not right. Oh, that feels better. I think that's that's pretty good Mad Max 2 The Road War was a film that was released in 1981 and it starred Mel Gibson It was a sequel to the Mad Max series This one focused a lot more on a post-apocalyptic world where there's a bunch of crazy Australians driving around and weird BDSM costumes and then there's the other ones who look like they just came off all across pit And they're fighting basically over the Over fuel that is what the main commodity of the world is and they're driving it and pissing it away by driving around in circles But that's Mad Max Road Warrior The funny thing about this jacket too is actually I made this for Halloween last year and I made it Because I loved Mad Max 3 Road Now the reason why I say that is because I wasn't really a fan of Mad Max when I was younger I watched the first one and I actually did enjoy it admittedly. I thought it was a little weird Because Australians are just a little weird in this movie, but I did like the concept of it I never saw the second film in full Until last year and the reason why is because I think I had this sort of mentality that People hyped that crap out of that movie so much. I was like it can't be as good as I think it is I had one friend who would never stop referencing it would never stop talking about it So, you know when that person I've done that I did that for V for rendetta when I was in high school I wouldn't shut the shit up about that movie So I probably pissed off a lot of people and then want me people to see that either so that's what happened with me For Mad Max 2 I saw it and I did enjoy it I understand why people like it and especially at the time it was pretty cool The car designs are interesting the costume designs while bizarre are very cool as well and that final chase scene That's the one thing I'll say about Mad Max 2 is that it's final 20 minutes with the whole Tanker scene is the entirety of Mad Max Fury Road and oddly enough Fury Road is a lot more entertaining in my opinion But that's because it's so empty up It's had a higher budget and everything for the time this budget for Mad Max 2 was very limited and the fact Of what they were able to do with it was pretty cool considering how they got a Few more million dollars than they did with the original Mad Max And they had to do a lot of budget cuts in that one too a lot of tricks and whatnot So you can see that they still did a lot of tricks in this film too the character of Max is very Interesting. He's this guy who basically wants to survive Mel Gibson barely says a bloody word in this film Which is very interesting. I never noticed that when I saw it the first time but watching it on the big screen Wow, he's really silent in this film a lot and I always like the group that they work with like I like the Mc Jagger looking like leader. I like the guy who's in the who's paralyzed But his legs are burning.  There's some that just look way too pretty for the frickin post apocalyptic world But otherwise this film is it's slow in comparison to nowadays with films It's pace is a little slow, but the characters are still so Bizarre and so intriguing sometimes that you really want to see them especially the weird foe hawk wrestler dog dude He's really weird in this movie, but when in compare it to nowadays I think if I had seen this film before I saw Fury Road, I would have liked it more But since I saw Fury Road, then I came back to this my judgment honestly was a bit Blended it was a little bit biased because of how good Fury Road was and then watching Mad Max, too It's like, oh, that's good, but Fury Road is the better part of it So in the end what my remaining of Mad Max 2 is a 5 out of 7 I enjoy it, but the film has not aged well in my opinion now I know a lot of all you guys are gonna be like, what are you doing? Why are you rating it so low? That's just my honest opinion. I understand why people like it now Obviously you need a climax and that's what the climax is But the time of which it takes to get there and then just how kind of odd the dog dies and all these other Elements of the film also how the frick his car his interceptor gets picked up by that Terrible tractor loader and then that's how he crashes that part was just that that I don't care what Nos does that part Pushed me a little bit. So anyway, that's what I thought of Mad Max 2 That's so I also I've got shown here. So I'm gonna be talking about Ghostbusters next I hope you guys are enjoying the digital film festival today. We're watching Inception, Looper and the Wrath of Khan So I hope you guys tune in for those later and I'll see you guys next time


is log picking techniques and tools for high security. I am the Gigi Breadman, GBM, and I guess let's get started. Okay, this presentation is meant to give you an understanding of the fundamental principles that most high security logs are the ones that I'm going to cover. The principles in which they use to try and stop people from picking them. This talk is not meant to be a talk on specific makes and models of logs. A lot of different models have their own little quarks, and that's up to the picker to find out as he picks them. But the basic principles in which they're based on are the same. Alright, let's go. Okay, over here. We'll start off with pin tumbler locks, how they work. I'm sure everybody's familiar with these, residential, business use. You probably have tons of them on your key room. We're going to talk about how they can be picked. Then we're going to move on to mushroom spool pins. These are like a little upgrade for your basic pin tumbler locks. We're going to talk about how you go about picking them and what the good points about them are. Then we're going to move on to tubular locks. We're probably really familiar with these as well. There are lots of vending machines, stuff like that. I'm Canadian, so I'm not sure how lots of stuff goes in the United States, but notice recently a lot of the tubular locks are being changed over on vending machines, and now they're switching to abloy locks. So, a little security upgrade. Once we get past the tubular locks, we're going to move on to medico and abloy locks. From the tubular to the medico locks and abloys, the skill level to open these locks really jumps and the time that you'll need to practice and when your technique will also jump. They're not easy to open, and they're not for people who get frustrated easily. Then afterwards, I'm going to go into what do you do if once you come up a new lock that you've never seen before, what resources can be used to discover how the lock works, maybe even how do you find out about restricted tools that can be used to open them. And by restricted, I mean that they aren't available to your everyday hobbyist type person. The locksmithing industry likes to keep stuff pretty locked down and keep their trade secrets secret. So, let's start. Here we have basic pin tumbler lock. With your pin tumbler lock, there are two main parts. You have the cylinder, can you guys see the most good? Yeah, okay, good. You have the cylinder, and within the cylinder you have the plug. In the cylinder, you have the springs and the upper pins. And in the plug, you contain the lower pins. Lower pins are the ones that are cut to different lengths and this determines the depth that you'll need to cut your key when making a key. When picking these locks, you can see the shear line. This is the key thing you're looking for. The shear line is what you're going to be using to manipulate this lock. And of course, okay, the boarded keyway. Basically, the only deal with this is that they try to make it hard for you to insert foreign objects into the lock to manipulate the pins. And pin tumblers, there can be the number of pins and the spring tension, stuff like that, can vary. Same with the type of keyway. Okay, why can you pick a pin tumbler lock? Okay, this is an overhead cutaway of the cylinder. These would be the outer walls of the cylinder. This would be the outer walls of the plug where the plug meets the cylinder. This line here is the center of the plug. Ideally, in theory, and these little holes, these are the pins. In theory, all these pins should be aligned on the center. But due to mass production and, well, versus cost in machining, you cannot always guarantee that these are lined up straight. So as you can see, they're skewed and offset here. So what you can do is, if you can get a pick through the boarded keyway and get your tension wrench into the plug to slightly turn it, you will be able to bind the pins against the shear line. And by, because they are not all binding at the same time, you can individually set the pins one at a time. And like on this lock example, you can see that from the back to the front, that pin two would be the first to come if you were turning it clockwise to bind against the shear line. Then you would move through the lock with your feeler pick or rake pick and find that pin and set it first. The pin would then turn slightly and you would go on to set the next one that's binding the most, which would be, in this example, pin one, so on and so forth. That's the basics of how you pick a pin tumbler lock. What type of methods can you use to pick pin tumbler locks? Well, pretty much anything. These aren't very tricky locks. A lot of people are surprised how insecure these are because it's a false sense, well, not a false sense. It's just meant to keep people out the general person. But if you can get a pick, like, say, a paperclip through the worded keyway, you can use that as a pick. These locks aren't very tricky. You can use a standard feeler pick, rake, any type of rake you want. There's lots of different types of rakes out there, modified, whatever. Or you can use a combination between the rake and feeler pick, which is the diamond pick can be used to set pins individually, like a feeler pick, or it can be used to rake the lock, like a rake. Or there are lots of pick guns available that work on spring principle to knock all the pins up, separate the upper and lower pins at the shear line, and then allow you to turn the lock, the plug, and cylinder. These locks aren't very technical, and with minimal practice, they'll be over these locks, no problem. And due to the low, the tolerance is very good in this lock. The pins are kind of not centered well. You can use pretty much any type of tension that you want. It's not very critical, the torque that you put on the plug. However, if you're talking about a more pricey, better pin tumbler lock, you might need a more sensitive tension wrench to manipulate the pins. All right, what do you do? What's the next step up from pin tumbler locks? The next step up is the mushroom pin. The mushroom pin is a replacement for the upper pins in a pin tumbler lock. You can see that instead of like a standard upper pin is just basically a cylinder, but mushroom and spool pins have different diameters throughout the pin. The whole idea being that it will give you a false sense that you have set the pin and it will wedge itself against the shear line and not allow you to pick the lock. This is a step in the right direction, but it is only a baby step. If you've mastered pin tumblers, it won't take you much longer to master mushroom pins and setting those. You can see the whole way that you get around the mushroom pins are that you must pick them first. If you do not pick them first, you will turn the plug too far and due to the different diameter, they will snag and wedge at the shear line. What type of tool would you need to pick mushroom pins? A filler pick is good. You can use it manually set individual pins. That's what you use if your skill level is fairly good, or you can use a diamond pick. While it works well, you can set the individual mushroom pins once you've found them and then you can break the remaining mushroom pins. A good way to tell if you are dealing with a lock that is mushroom pin is maybe you've been picking it for a while and it's not giving, and then you notice once you've picked a pin, if it still slides up and if you can still push the pin up after the plug has turned a little bit clockwise and clockwise depending on which way you're going, it is most likely a mushroom pin because if you are in fact binding on the shear line and you set the upper pin above the shear line you should not be able to move the lower pin up any further. It is a good idea to avoid just trying to break these locks.  You may get it, you may not. It's better just to concentrate, work on your skill level and you'll be open, no problem. Alright, tubular pin tumbler locks. These are found on a lot of vending machines and things like that. They are similar to your standard pin tumbler lock because they have both a set of upper and lower pins that are spring loaded. They're all similar because they are many variations. You can variation between four to eight pins in the tubular lock and the alignment of the pins can also vary. You may have them evenly spaced around the circle. You may not, they may be three on one side tightly packed together and two spaced on the side. It really depends on the model. Here you can see, this is an example of picking a tubular pin tumbler lock. You can see the similarity between this lock and the pin tumbler. You have a lower pin, you have an upper pin followed by a spring. The difference however is that the shear line is a circle. So what's going to happen is you can use a tension wrench, if you can get it in there to turn clockwise, or you can use a small screwdriver. It also works. There's a little more cumbersome. I definitely recommend just taking some time, make your own custom tension wrenches to turn these locks. It'll save you a whole lot of time and grief. But what you can do once you're turning it, the pins will bind on the shear line. You can use a small piece of stiff wire to press the pins down and set them. You have to go around just like you would using your feeler pick to pick a pin tumbler lock. You'll have to go around the circle and feel which one is binding the most. However, why is this better than normal pin tumbler lock? Because as you can see the shear line, all the pins line up. You turn this lock in eighth after you've unlocked it. The upper pins and the lower pins will realign with, say, okay, say you're at pin one. You turn it, it's going to now pin one. Lower pin one will be aligned with upper pin from the second one to the right. And it will relock itself. So if you're picking this by hand with this method, it's going to be slow and time consuming because it's going to relock itself all the way around. You're going to have to pick it several times to open this lock. And you're going to have to pick it several times to relock the lock. And if you, heaven forbid, can't get it all the way, you may not be able to get the key in there to reset the lock. I'm kind of hooked. So more specific locks come, more specific tools. Here's your standard tubular lock pick. They come in, this is pretty much the standard one. They come in seven, eight, depending on the model of the lock. Different types of pins, different alignments of the feeler picks. These are feelers here that can be set to different depths to open the lock, to manipulate the pins. What is the benefit of using this type of tool? Instead of doing it by hand, it's faster, easier to pick. Once you've picked it, it will not reset on you. That's the main thing. Drawbacks for this is, depending on a specific lock, you will need a specific tool to open it. It's going to cost you more money, just a little less skill involved if you want to just do it by hand and be skillful, I guess. Then what happens later is, if you have tubular locks with very strong springs in the bottom, it becomes very hard for you to manipulate the pins by hand or even using the previous tool here. It's very hard to set a pin and then leave it set because of this force acting back on the pins. It's very strong and it will reset itself. So, along comes a new tool. This tool is basically the same thing as that one, except the feelers are threaded at the top here. I don't know if you guys can see that with dials so that once you set one of the feelers to a certain depth, it will stay there and the spring cannot force it back up even if it is a very strong spring. Once again, getting into more specific locks, high security locks, the tools like this are quite pricey and this one I think is about $300 US. It's kind of incentive to do it by hand but in this case, you're not going to really be able to do it. I'm going to have to have a tool. Medical locks also known as biaxel pin tumbler locks. Now, here's where things start getting really tricky. With a biaxel pin tumbler lock, you not only have to worry about setting the pins to the proper height and worry about pins binding on the shear line, you also have to deal with the sidebar. If you do not align the pins, you can either set them, spin them, left, right, center and in many locks, it's either goes 20 degrees left, 10 degrees left, center, 10 degrees right, 20 degrees right. If you do not rotate these pins properly, the sidebar, there's a groove in the lower pins that allows the sidebar to slide into it when it's aligned properly. If you do not spin them, even if you get the pins to the proper height, if you have not rotated the pins to the proper alignment, the sidebar will not drop and you will not be able to turn the plug. It's not tough enough. A lot of medical locks also have mushroom pins in them. So, not only do you have to worry about rotating them properly, raising them to the proper height and worrying about if the pin is mushroomed or not, so you have to pick it first. You may also, some locks also have what are decoy grooves in the lower pin. These are the grooves, like you would see, that allow the sidebar to drop down. However, they're too shallow for the sidebar to completely drop down. So, it gives you a false sense that you have aligned the pin and the pin is engaging the sidebar when, in fact, it's still not set to the proper rotation and the sidebar will jam. Picking medical locks is pretty much a standard way. This method has been around for a while now. This is a slow and difficult process. This is not... If you're a thief, you're not going to do this. It's going to take you far too long to manipulate this lock. And when I say too long, I'm talking like to open it in an hour if you're good and you're lucky. So, it's not a piece of cake at all. The most important thing you've got to worry about for your tools when you're picking the medical lock is you need a very sensitive tension wrench. If you do not use very light torque on these locks, the lower pins will bind against the sidebar and they will not rotate for you. You'll not be able to manipulate them to the proper degree. You may set the pins to the proper height, but the sidebar will still be stuck and you won't be able to open the lock. So, what do you do? Well, for a better rotation of the lower pins... By the way, this is called a white crane tension wrench. I think Stephen Hampton is the one that came up with this. It's a very nice wrench. I, myself, prefer the standard feather-touched tension wrench than you will see in locksmithing stores. But it's beside the point. What you can do to get better rotation on spinning the lower pins is you can modify your diamond pick. You can take the top, the very top of the diamond pin, spin it about 15 degrees and then file that to a point. By doing this, when you're doing a raking motion, it allows you to more easily spin the lower pins as well as lift them to the proper height. Once again, this is a very slow and tedious process. It takes a long time. But it is the whole point of doing it. It's a puzzle and the whole satisfaction of opening the lock. All right. What about other tools? I'll talk a little bit about a restricted tool here. Several years ago, I heard a rumor of a tool that would be able to decode medical locks. Rather than pick it, this tool would allow you to find the proper rotation and height of the pins and then make a key. This isn't as easy as it sounds because even if you do know what the key looks like, the keys for high-security locks such as medical are controlled. You just can't walk into a store and get one cut like your Ford car key. They are controlled and there's databases for proper owners and such things. So yeah, it's not that easy, but anyhow. This decoder, after a little searching through the US patent office, does anybody know... I think this tool is actually made by Fella. I've seen a couple pictures of it, but I'm not too sure. If anybody hears the diagram from the patent office, if anybody is a locksmith here and uses this, I'd really like to talk to you about it. You can tell me how this thing is and if you use it. I'm not sure actually even if this particular tool works anymore because in the original patent, as you can see, it's a Wallback 1976, also has countermeasures of what you can do to a medical lock or a biaxial pin tumbler lock so that this decoding method will not work. So I don't know if it's still a viable method for opening medical locks, but I have seen pictures of it on the net. So here, Hintabla's tool has a dial here to find the proper rotation of the pin, insert the front of it into the lock and manipulate the pins individually and it has a decoder for which pin you're working on as well as the height of the pin. I'm assuming. Alright. We'll talk a little bit more later on about how to find out about restricted tools. Now we're going to move on to the ablar locks, also known as the keyed disc tumbler lock. Basically these locks work similar to a safe or a combination lock. You have several discs in a row that have to be aligned to the proper, I don't know, it's kind of hard to see on this diagram, but these discs are notched and when you insert the key into the lock and turn it, the key has different levels of material cutaways so that these discs will turn either a little bit lots or not. So when that's done, there are little grooves in the disc that will allow the sidebar to drop down. These are a lot different types of locks than pin tumbler locks. I noticed that they started to come out with these locks more on vending machines and parking meters, a lot of applications like that but I still have not really seen this used widely in residential or business use, like for offices and stuff like that. And also in the front, a lot of these locks that are used in vending applications have a free spinning faceplate to prevent people from attacking the lock physically and trying to drill it out and gain access that way. Alright, how do you go about opening these locks? Well, since there are no springs in this lock, like the pin tumbler, you don't need a standard tension wrench. What you can do is you can use two L-picks or feeler picks to manipulate this lock. The key is that the last disc in these locks are usually the one that engages the cam to spin the lock and usually the last one to allow the sidebar to drop down. So what you can do is you can use one L-pick to engage the last disc and turn it giving you tension. You can then use a second L-pick to manipulate the rest of the discs and what's going to happen is really helpful for you to mark your pick so that you know which disc you are working on takes out a lot of the guesswork in where you are and what's going to happen is when you are picking this lock you will feel the sidebar rubbing against the disc and once you have brought it to the proper alignment of course because there is that groove you should feel a slight give and the tension is gone now from that disc because there is a gap between the sidebar and the disc. So what you are going to do is basically you are going to have to go back and forth with your second L-pick while keeping tension on the first L-pick. This is a more technical approach and requires some skill and practice. That's the key. If you want to get into lock picking you are going to have to practice lots and lots of practice. There is another way to open these locks. This is Stephen Hampton came up with this it didn't even occur to me but you can impression the lock I don't know if any of you guys are familiar with impressioning of pin tumbler locks and such things but these locks can actually be impression. What you do is you can take your standard copper pipe a small diameter like plumbers often use file it down on your bench grinder cut it away half way and then polish it up so it's nice, very polished. Then like in impressioning a pin tumbler insert it into the lock turn it slightly so that the copper will bind against the discs and the thing that's going to happen here is you then remove the copper and you'll see, take your light, shine it along the pipe and you'll see smudges or small indentations along the pipe where the discs with the most that are friction where the discs that are tight against the side bar are rubbing the copper So what you do is you take your file and you file down where the smudges are You have to be very careful when you're doing this to use the proper size file If the file is too thick and you take off too much you're done, you're going to have to start all over again So it's a slow polish again You have to go in several times stick the piece of copper pipe in turn it slightly pull it out file it repolish it so you can see where the next where it's next going to bind put it back in and so on and so forth The advantage of this is that once you do this you don't have to re-pick the lock you need to open it a second time However, you've got to remember that the whole reason why this works is because you're using a soft metal and the metal used for the disc is harder than the copper and that's why it'll bend So you have to be very careful not to damage the temporary key otherwise you're going to have to impression the lock all over again Yeah, then you could if you wanted to if you could get a key blank you now have the proper sort of degrees to which the crescent is at if it opens you can then just take that take your files and measure it and then file a harder piece of metal so it won't be damaged as easily What type of lock are you talking about? All these? Where about right here the angling? I don't understand what you're saying Come up to me afterwards and we'll talk If anybody has any questions or whatever just come up to me afterwards and we'll talk about it and stuff like that New challenge, plan of attack This is basically the formula that I use when going about opening new locks that come against a new lock you get curious, want to know how it works Basically, a lot of times locks will be stamped with the manufacturer but sometimes and some applications are not like new pay phones and that they don't have the manufacturer stamped on them but they will have markings usually like logos and different symbols like that if you take those, just write them down take them into a locksmith new shop find a similar lock with the same stamps then you can find out the manufacturer once you find the manufacturer you can narrow down what model that lock is once again just talk to your locksmith do some searching on the manufacturer's web page to find out in which type of situations their particular models are employed then you can get a similar practice lock for you to practice picking and that's when basically fun starts and you learn how to open these locks if you can get the patent number off the box or off the lock you're going to save yourself a lot of trouble because you'll then be able to go to the US patent office very helpful site can't stress it enough you'll be able to go there, you'll be able to read the technical descriptions as well as read the diagrams on how the lock works this is good for several reasons and I'll go into it in a minute here after you found out about the lock and what it is you can search the patent office for the patented tools to bypass the lock and you'll find a lot of times that it will take you a little bit to find the lock, the bypass tool you'll have to search around it may be difficult it will be a lot easier if you know the technical description of the lock like is it a biax up in tumblr you can really cut down your search tons and then it's all about sitting down at your workbench disassembling the lock and practicing come up with a plan of attack it's usually not that difficult you can just think rationally what type of tools what does the key look like how can I mimic the key to open this lock patent office well, it's a gold mine basically if you want to sell stuff in the states and you don't want somebody to steal your idea you're going to have to patent it therefore, even though the locksmithing industry likes to keep these things secret which is a good thing you can still trace the paperwork back and find out what type of tools are new and if you are so inclined you can build your own tools from the technical descriptions or if you're lucky to have friends in the industry they can give you a hand also it's very good if you are not too sure on how the lock works you don't want to pay a couple hundred bucks for a high security lock and then find out that you've broken it when you disassembled it it really sucks alright, this is basically what you got you go to your patent office not like Google, just the content's better alright, you go through there you can search all different ways basically what's going to happen is standard search when you come up with a patent it's broken down into different areas there's the abstract the second summary of what this law patent does it's going to be company names those will help you if the patent was originally filed by the company if it was not they brought it out later you're going to have to go to some trouble finding out the technical terms then once you're there if you can find a good patent that will help you probably well it's not that hard you get stuff like this you got a basic decoding tool for biaxial pin tumblers and then you get the good stuff the technical description of how that tool works why is it different than all the other tools out there why does it deserve a new patent things like that alright kinda rush through a little bit basically here's my sources Steven Hampton he comes up with this new book for modern high security locks it is very good I only have really one problem with that book is that I wish he would have released it three years ago it would have saved me a whole lot of effort and frustration that's about it I suggest if you are interested in picking high security locks pick up the book you'll give you a good starting point you'll be able to cut through a lot of the having to stumble around in the dark yourself find the new techniques that are being used now and then it will give you an idea of how you can go on and progress past that so yeah I guess if anybody has any questions second I'll be in the in the main area just kinda walking around for the next area I'll have some practice locks out I'll have some medicos that can be disassembled if you want to take a close look at them if you have your own tools try out the practice locks and just talk I'll be in the main area or if I'm not and you're at another talk see me walking around just grab me and ask me whatever


When you ignore The narcissist They're going to do this Go a no contact Ignoring the narcissist Yes, this can be an excellent way To protect yourself Because when you're involved with a narcissist Things don't typically work in your favor.   They're all about themselves They're self absorbed that they like empathy.   It's just getting worse worse for you, and you think how can I make this stop? How can I stop this from getting any worse because it's like as time goes by Things are getting worse for me, but things are getting better for them Because they're draining me of everything I've got and I'm getting nothing back in return And it's like what is the answer here? How do you save yourself from being depleted of everything? And of course the only answer is to just cut them off They can all of them go to contact I mean, what else can you do?  That's all that there is So you presume that the best thing to do is to ignore them and yeah, I mean what else can you do? What other option is there to protect yourself to save What little you may have left But even that option does not come without any effects or consequences Because if you ignore the narcissist They're going to do this It's going to cause a narcissistic injury and that is going to be followed by narcissistic rage To where they will get very angry And they will seek to tear you down They will try to sabotage your progress in moving on from them In whatever life or future that you are trying to build after they are gone Or whatever person that you may be with or that you may be seeking Yeah, they're going to prevent try to prevent all of that from happening. They will try to get you fired from your job They will try to target you financially To try to keep you financially dependent on them and they'll try to cut off any support that you may otherwise have By assassinating your character smear in your name In forcing their flying monkeys to do their bidding on their behalf and you just got away your options.  You lost all your money.  Until something like that happens because of course there's only so much a person can take Till you start to lose your mind you start to go crazy You start to even lose the ability to function or to work or to control yourself and your emotions You start losing your mind you start becoming more and more reactive And you know you're gonna be held responsible for that. They're not gonna be there for you at all They're not gonna examine the cause You're only going to look at the effects your actions in response to what they have done Rather than what they actually did to you which caused it so you conclude Okay, I've got to take some personal responsibility. I put myself in this situation or At the very least I kept myself in it. I Mean, yeah, they manipulated me. They tricked me. They deceived me. They lied to me the future faked They did all of these things But maybe if I was wiser I was more knowledgeable If I trusted my own intuition, I didn't overlook the red flags Then maybe I wouldn't be in this mess So maybe I should take some personal responsibility And I'll get myself out of this situation Right That's what we're thinking at this point We just got to get ourselves out of it. Well, that's the thing even when you do Decide to take personal responsibility and try to take yourself out of it Now they're coming after you They're threatening and intimidating you.    They will get it in the end It will come back Because they're disabling themselves by being a parasite a leech a bottom feeder Instead of taking some personal responsibility for their lives take an action And making something of it instead of heavily relying and being dependent on you So things weren't won't turn out well for them in the end Right now. I know it's like, what do you do? You're stuck in this situation and it's like No matter what you do, you can't win.  They're still gonna come after you So either way, no matter what you do, there is no getting out of that situation I mean the only way to do it really This works especially if you're in the love bombing phase otherwise It's best just to leave like a thief in the night just disappear Don't even tell them where you're going Move far away change your phone numbers Delete your social media maybe just Discard your devices Sell them Because they could be tracking you there as well. They may even have a track device on your car They may be monitoring your Computer your laptop your phone your calls your texts.    They're future-faking Bullshit, of course, they know you don't want to sit in that mess for a long period of time Of course, they know that Yeah, they are delusional, but they're not that delusional That's why They're always paying attention to your reactions the scanning your facial expressions body language and tone of voice for threats for signs of disapproval Well that you may reject or abandon them Even if you don't come out and actually say it we don't reveal your exit plan or strategy They're waiting for it. They're looking for it because they already love it.  I mean you're getting nothing back in return That is draining you you're validating the illusion Of course, they know at some point you're gonna look at it and it's like Hold on a minute. How is this situation? Any good for me What am I getting out of this? Is this not just draining the life out of me and Pouring everything into you.  They may have already smeared your name Because they're preparing for that and they already know that they're no good Yes, they know Their personality their character It's absolute garbage. It's no good for you in your life. They know it and Many of us we wonder is it real Do they really know They are garbage. They are no good for you They're just waiting around just get what they can out of you Do they really know that they're no good for anything long-term Do they really know that they have nothing of value to provide to you? Yes, they know that and Here's how you know that they know that Just stop for a moment forget about what you're giving to them Or what they're trying to get out of you and just look at the past the time that you have spent with them Notice this one common thing across all narcissistic relationships By asking yourself this question What have they invested into me? Because here's the thing They're coming around you because they know you're a valuable person you have something of value to bring to them If they did not think that they wouldn't be around you They would never put themselves in a situation not even for a short period of time if they believe that It's going to drain them Rather than it's going to benefit them in some way So yeah, they already know that your high value that proves that if you're around someone of high value I mean, let's just consider stocks and shares investments if you know that it has High return it's high value You're going to invest something into it Because you're going to be expected to get something back So here's the thing Why don't they do that with us? Because they do know that we are of high value. That's the way they target us.  It's determined by what we give what we share with other people Because that says a lot about a person if a person is willing to invest a lot into another person and a relationship That really reveals to you that They must have enough confidence faith trust and belief in themselves a Personality their character and in what they can establish in a relationship They must have belief and confidence in that To be willing to risk an investment into it Think about that for a moment. This is why empaths do that Because yes, we do know that we are empaths They kind we're given we're camera compassionate And most people commonly know that someone like that is going to be very successful in a relationship, of course Narcissist we know Narcissists do not succeed in relationships because they're narcissistic and That's where they withhold On investing time money effort energy into us That's why they don't reciprocate Even in those rare cases where maybe they can and yet they choose not to That's why because they already know it's not gonna go anywhere If they are a part of it They already know that if they are a part of something It's gonna fall apart at some point They're going to ruin it. They're going to destroy it so they look at it like The best opportunity for me the best option is to invest as little as I can to minimize What I will lose and they could pick the best person in the world Someone who has everything together and yet they will still choose to invest as little as possible Because they already know that if they are a part of it, it's not going to amount to anything good They already know that That's why from the devaluation phase onwards It's all about just bringing you down It's damaging and destroying you from that point on because they already know It's not going to go anywhere good for them anyway As long as they're around as long as they're with you And they especially want to keep you down and destroy you When you're trying to move on without them Because they already know if they don't do that if they don't intervene Then things are going to go perfectly fine for you.   They would forget about you.     It's fake That's why they go so crazy when you ignore them because then it has no audience Anyway, that's all I've got to say for this message.

Welcome to Monday running a little bit late. I forgot some stuff at home. Had to go back and get it That's the way this today's probably my easiest day. I'm not giving a talk and I think I think none of my students are giving talks and It's gonna be exciting. We're back at it This iPoster setup is that you wouldn't be able to just walk around and randomly view the posters I enjoy having the poster conversations with people, but it's also really valuable to just walk around and Just casually peruse and browse and see what's going on and with these new screen setup. It works really well Oh, I think I see you'll never guess what I'm doing. Hey, yeah Make me proud right here Because I think there's a lot of demand and there's a lot of desire for really Collaborative work on high-quality educational initiatives We have been doing a Rubin Observatory from the beginning and so here in the schematic You see the four essentially subsystems of the observatory the four big components of what is being built at the observatory Love the no pads. Can't tell on camera, but it's it's totally 3d. It totally looks amazing. Okay. I've got a plenary talk I'm gonna go to here in about a half hour and So far the poster hall has been a wild success. I've got a bunch of top-level swag very happy about that I'm running into tons of people, you know the masks they make it a little bit weird people's hairstyles have changed a lot You're never quite sure if you recognize somebody and yet I'm actually running into tons people that I know like it's been really productive and Really positive a good morning so far But what I'm excited about is taking a step up and looking at the picture of planet populations on a full scale building a complete sense of planets in our galaxy and today I hope you're telling why I think that's interesting and exciting and possible So Brilliant amazing funny Awesome, what is a night lunch? When you're at the telescope And observatories often have catering services that prepare you a lunch for the middle of the night During the day and you go to the fridge and pick it up and you eat it while you're controlling your telescope in the middle of the night Totally alone on a mountain in the silence with the wilderness Night lunch is dangerous. Night lunch is exciting. When are you playing? What's the show? Tuesday, January 10th at the Sunset Tavern The show starts at eight. We are opening doors open at seven and we'll be rocking hard. I Saw you and then you ran away. How are you? We found these stories like about how astronomy on tap like really made a difference in our career path Just a quick reminder that the exhibit hall were closed at 6 30, which is in 20 minutes So pardon the pun, but it's time to bring it in for a landing. Thank you. I'm not sure why that's a pun But okay message received iPoster is still kind of you know, not a perfect format for a poster, but I really like having these big screens I think this has gone really well I'm glad to see a lot of people mixing and talking and mingling at these sort of open iPoster hour I wish they were up a little longer an hour or two is not enough time having a poster for a whole day is nice How do we used to do this so often? Oh my god, I am exhausted I'm gonna end the day with reunion with grad school friends. I'm excited about that. This has been a day totally full of reunions. I Cannot believe how many conversations I've had of people that have been so exciting to see changes in their lives changes with their families People having kids people moving people.  I've got a student with a press release. That's gonna be really amazing Can't wait to go show that and highlight that work Okay, apparently they're cutting us off here, so that's okay, and then I'm giving a talk on Wednesday Which would be fun and of course I'll report it this video Hopefully should come out Tuesday morning And so if you're here and you're watching this Tuesday morning go see night lunch the band Those are people who are students here at UW Seattle who now have this amazing rock-and-roll band Go see them. It looks like a lot of fun and Wednesday if you're in town go see the Astronomy on Tap Talks It's amazing. Okay. That's it for day one of double as Thanks for watching


The World Health Organization just officially declared that gaming addiction is a mental disorder, but is it really? Let's talk about it right now. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem, but focus on the solution. And welcome back to another video where we're taking a deep dive into the topic of depression, but I'm also going to blend in some addiction as well. And I wanted to talk about gaming. This morning, a buddy of mine, he's like, dude, have you seen all this stuff about gaming and mental illness? And we were talking about depression. I'm like, you know what? I'm going to make a video on that tonight. So do me a favor. If you are a gamer watching this video, or you just don't really think that video games are that big of an issue, do me a favor and share this video. Share it with the people out there who are unaware about how video games might actually be able to help you out with your mental health. Let's talk about that real quick. First and foremost, I want to share a little bit about my story when it comes to gaming. So and we'll talk about depression first, then we'll get to addiction later. All right. So those of you who are newly subscribed and you haven't met me yet, I used to be in the professional esports kind of area. It was for the game Counter Strike. This was many years ago. I have a video that I'll link up here about how my addiction kind of destroyed that. But anyways, like during high school, I was really into video games. I've been playing since I got my first Nintendo like way back in the 80s when I was like four or five years old. And like in high school, I was struggling with so much just mental health issues, right? So many mental health issues like from my depression to my anxiety to my anger issues. I was a son of an alcoholic bomb. And like I was constantly socially anxious. It was so difficult for me to just have conversations with people. It was hard for me to open up to people and I would isolate a lot. I had maybe one or two really good friends.  But like, man, I was talking to my friend about this this morning. Like if it wasn't for gaming, like we would have been way more depressed. Like gaming was so beneficial to my childhood and my growing up. Like we used to have this thing here in Las Vegas. It was called LVGA. All right, Las Vegas Gamers Association.  It was a website with a forum. And we'd all played Counter Strike together. And like, man, like I started making these like strong connections and these strong bonds with people. Like my friend who I was talking to this morning, me and him have known each other for dang like 16 or 17 years now, all through video games. And he's one of my best friends. He's been my roommate and all that kind of stuff. But I met so many people through gaming. Like when people talk about how like gaming can like fuel like mental illness and depression, like it doesn't always like this was how I got my social connection. I met some of my best friends on there. Not only that, but I was able to pursue a career in it. I was able to travel to different countries. I went to Sweden. I went to Spain. I went to France. All expenses paid for gaming. Like I was able to make a name for myself in the gaming industry. So like it really bums me out when like the media out there or people who don't really understand gaming and how it helps people like it bums me out. Like here's what you got to think about. Like whenever I hear this argument, I think about the kid who has a disability. Maybe he's in a wheelchair. You know, every day he goes to school, he can't participate in like PE or play sports like other kids do. But you know what he can do? He can hop on the video game controller. He can, you know, hop on a PC and game there. He can do that and be very skilled at it. Like that's a beautiful thing about gaming is that it's it's so diverse. Like anybody can do it regardless of your your physical attributes. Like think about it. If you want it to be a professional football player, basketball player, hockey player, baseball player, you you got to be born with some good genetics. I truly believe that gaming has opened up so many opportunities to to so many people who didn't have that that physical those physical attributes and were blessed with good genetics. You know what I'm saying? So like can gaming cause depression? Yes, but I'll talk about that again at the end of this video. Now, as far as addiction, as I mentioned, World Health Organization, they classified it as an addiction. Okay, like this legitimate disorder. And here's the three symptoms that they listed. One, impaired control over gaming, frequency, intensity, duration. Two, increased priority given to gaming. Three, continuation or escalation of gaming despite negative consequences. So yes, like gaming can be addictive. I always tell people one of my first addictions before I even got into drugs and alcohol was video games. I would ditch class to play video games. My grades were slipping because of video games. I would play all night long. I took it to another level.  But that's me. Now let's talk about the fact that I'm also a drug addict and alcoholic. Like I was genetically predisposed to addiction. So whatever I get into, I can get addicted to it. So like with drugs and alcohol, other people can do those things just fine. Me, I would get obsessed with them. You know what I'm saying? So like, I've seen people argue and say, Oh, gaming can't be an addiction. Gaming can't be an addiction. It absolutely can. Just not everybody is going to become addicted to it. You got to realize this is what we call a process addiction. So it can be as addictive as something like gambling, something as sex, something as spending money, something like eating, you know, these are all other addictions as well. But the things that people can do without an issue. So like, is everybody who games going to be an addict? No, I was watching Philip DeFranco today and something I don't know the exact source because I'm going to link some sources down below. But they were saying like, if you game for 20 hours a week, like really 20 hours a week, come on now, like that is not a good criteria. So here's the way I was thinking about it before I made this video.  So there might be people who casually play games, there might be people who play a little bit too much, and then there's people who are addicted. But yeah, it absolutely is an addiction like any other one. I was talking to another buddy. I'm actually going to link his channel and give him a shout out. His name is Trenton Marshall. He has a couple channels. If you're into drone stuff, or you're into like tech stuff, I'm going to link his stuff down below. Great guy. I love that man. Anyways, we were talking this morning and I was saying like, yeah, it can be addictive. I remember when World of Warcraft was out, there were stories where people were in land centers in China, and they were playing so much like some people died because they were so into the game that they became malnourished, fatigued and stuff like that. And they just died, right? I had a ton of friends, a ton of friends who flunked out of college because of World of Warcraft. So it definitely can be addictive. But now let's talk about depression and addiction when it comes to video games. One of my meditation teachers said this, okay? He said, you know, and this can be used for any type of technology. It's like a knife, okay? Now, a knife in the hands of a very skilled chef, it can make amazing things happen. But the knife in the hand of somebody who's not paying attention, they can cut their finger off. It's kind of the same with video games and technology and things like that. Like if you are developing unhealthy habits with it, yes, it can fuel depression. Yes, it can fuel addiction. But if you're using it for things that I mentioned like, you know, building friendships with people and things like that, like this can be very helpful. It's a great way to escape. I've been playing a bunch of Fortnite lately because I've been really, really stressed. And I have so much fun just playing with my friends. You know what I mean? But there's always just, there's just been this narrative about like games, games, games. And like, it's just, it's not true. The news is always looking for something to sensationalize and stuff like that.  Like yesterday when I made the video about depression and things not to do, like don't watch the news because they look for things to blow up and be like, Oh my God, it's so crazy. Like no, it's not calm down. The last thing I'll say when it comes to gaming and when it comes to depression, when it comes to addiction, a lot of it comes down to the parents. A lot of it comes down to parenting, monitoring it. How much are you playing? What are you doing online, especially with young kids and things like that? So much of it involves the parents. Like the beautiful thing about gaming for me too is that it's something that my son and I can do and bond over. My son is a big gamer. We play a ton of Fortnite together when new video games come out. Sometimes we go out to like the midnight release over at GameStop and we just play like it's something that we get to connect over. And like, I love it so much. And like, so I try to teach him about the mental health aspects of it too, because sometimes he's just like, Oh, I just want to play by myself. I don't like having a team and stuff.  And don't worry. I taught him how not to be, you know, the victim of a predator. Okay, so calm down. But like, if he's going to be gaming, I want to make sure that it's kind of in a social environment because I don't want him to isolate and play games by himself. So I'm trying to help him improve his mental health while he's doing something that he likes doing. All right. But anyways, I would love to know your thoughts on this subject. So go ahead and leave your comments down below and don't forget to check in the description. I'm going to link some channels and some resources. All right. And again, please, please, please, if you know some people out there who don't understand mental health or gaming, share this video with them. All right. But anyways, that's all I got for you today. If you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up.  And I just started a Patreon. So if you would like to support the channel and what I'm trying to do by helping people with mental health, you can click or tap right there. All right. Thanks so, so much for watching. Make sure you're educated about gaming and I'll see you next time.


As excited as I am that there's a new extraction film. I do have a slight worry that this is going to go down the taken route. Like the next one's going to be called Extraction 3 Extract Harder? Ooh, that's a hot mug, guys. Hey guys, this is my review for Extraction 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the first film, which was honestly kind of a surprise. There wasn't a lot going on when that was released back in 2020. We all kind of stuck in the house and I think it was the perfect time to release it because everyone watched it and it was a very well put together film by a bunch of fantastic stone coordinators. One of them being Sam Hargrave who is director of this film and worked on the stunt films for a lot of the Marvel movies. This definitely was feeling into that inspiration that the John Wick films had ignited. I was a big fan of the first one, not only for just how the film was put together, the one long one shot to the visceral of the action, but also just the setting. I really enjoyed it in India. I liked how it also incorporated a lot of Indian actors. There was also the lawyer character who was kind of like the unknown parable. Like he was technically a bad guy, but you also wanted him to succeed just as much as you wanted Chris Hensworth's character to succeed. Multi-layer of the story was really, really fun. And that was something that I was looking to see if they were going to implement that into the second film. Not so much, but they really did up the action. Now the first one really ended with that whole element of you wondering whether he was alive or not. And truly speaking, I think they ended it that way because they didn't know it was going to be such a success. But because the first one did so well and they were able to rely off that ambiguity, they were able to bring him back. And basically he's given a mission to go into this Chechnyan prison to rescue the sister of his wife. So we're almost going into the taken route with just the simplicity of what the mission is. And then we're also going into generic Chechnyan bad guys. That was something that I was a little bit worried about because, oh no, Chechnyan bad guys, we've only seen you a billion times at this point. Is this just the surplus of guys who didn't die in Expendables 2? That is probably going to be my first and very major complaint about this movie is that the bad guys kind of suck. They're just so boring. They're just, ooh, I've got Scar. Oh, I have to take care of Brother. Ah, I'm evil. That's kind of it. There's not really as much of a villain aspect into this film as the first one did. The first one had two pitting war criminals, which by the way, this one starts the same way as the first one did with someone finding out bad news in a prison. And this one just has a big sort of generic stamp on it when it comes to what the plot is. The first one had a lot more levels to it in terms of who was included into the story, not just including the lawyer and the kid that Chris Hemsworth has to protect, but all of the criminals, the corrupt cops, hell of the kids, like the child soldiers in it that Chris has to slap at one point. There was a lot of different characters into it, whereas this movie is longer, but doesn't have as much meat in it. It does have three very big action sequences. I would really say two, which is the one that everyone's been seeing, which is the one that it's a long shot. Again, I think I recorded it at 20 minutes and 41 minutes to seven seconds. It's phenomenal. It's one of the best one shots ever. You obviously see the edits here and there if you're really looking, but it's phenomenal. It goes from inside the prison, to outside the prison, to into a car, to into a train. It's phenomenal. It's really well done. I still think the first one's better, but that's just my kind of feeling because the first one, while not being as long, has car chases in it. There is a car chase in this one, too. I feel like the first one was done a little bit better, but I know that you're still going to enjoy it. It's still really good. It's kind of like comparing the three one shots in the Daredevil series. Season one is honestly the best one. The second one is the most entertaining, but it also is kind of the most janky. And the third one is my personal favorite, not only because of the length, but just because they added story into it as well. So it's just personal opinion, honestly. As the film goes on, they do try to incorporate this element with his ex-wife, and I know it's trying to add an element to it, but I feel like it's a lot more of that telling rather than showing that the first one did. The first one had a lot of show, like you had to kind of interpret what Chris had gone through. Yes, he did explain what had happened to his kid, to the kid in the film, but I just felt there was a lot more of a visual grittiness to his character in the first one, whereas in the second one, he is kind of getting a little bit of redemption, but it's just so... that's the best way to put it. Now, I am being a little bit of a negative Nancy about this movie, and that's just because I thought that the overall plot is the weakest part of this movie. Now, I know you're not watching this movie entirely for that reason, but that is one of the reasons why you want to watch it, right? I feel that the second one's plot definitely is the weakest element, and it's far weaker than the first one. The action, I feel, is on the same level as the first one. Some parts better, but like I said, there's two really big action sequences, and then there's the finale, and that's it. The last one's kind of eeeeee, like they try to make it seem as though he's in a dire situation, but you're already seeing this guy take a billion bullets and hits and slashes and everything in the first one, and still barely survive, so you have to chop his arm off, or something, in this one, to make that kind of higher stakes feeling bewarranted, and it just isn't. So, in the end, I feel that Extraction 2 is still fun. It's still phenomenal. It still should be commended for the stunt excellence that it has for the action set pieces that it does have, but I definitely feel like plot took a back seat, and I'm a little bit upset about that, and I'm kind of wondering how they're going to work it with the third one, because they are making a third one. It's kind of like me for the John Wick movies. I love the John Wick movies, except for the third one. I think the third one's got like great action sequences, but the plot is as thin as a napkin. The first one is still my favorite one, because that was a full, complete story from beginning, middle to end, and while Extraction 2 does have technically a beginning, middle, and end, it's definitely another one in the franchise. Either way, I'm going to give Extraction 2 a 4 out of 7. I actually want to review the first one now. I actually started watching it again immediately after watching Extraction 2, and I could already feel that my feelings that I had were warranted, but I'll do a video about that. Anyways guys, I hope you enjoyed the review. If you did, leave a like, and if you're interested in more, subscribe. Until then, see you guys next time.


In 2004, we saw that pebble was absolutely wide open and that the intensity of the alteration was increasing going to the east. The quartz dock work was becoming more intense going to the east. The grades of all three metals were increasing to the east, so I recommended we drill. The mining engineer said, we have four billion tons and that's enough for 40 years. We don't need any more. And then I was over in China getting that project, over in Tibet, getting that project going. And at a board meeting, they made a decision that they wouldn't drill outside of the proposed pit. I'm saying, well, it's getting better and better going to the east. So anyway, the directive came down to no drill holes beyond the outside edge of the pit. So I puzzled over that for a week or two. So anyway, I had to drill, come free and would just say this is the outside of the pit. I stepped back about 15 meters, drilled a hole 60 degrees outwards, but I had to drill inside the pit. Then I had about 400 meters of good ore grade mineralization. I had a second drill come free, so I moved it over 400 meters and did the same thing. And so when the second hole was about halfway down, the first drill rig was finished its hole and then I had a third rig come up, did the same thing again. Then I told Bob Dickinson what I'd done. So we added six billion tons. Wow. And about four billion tons was about twice the grade of the earliest four billion tons. And so whether there's 107 million ounces of contained gold, 80, 85 billion pounds of copper and six or seven billion pounds of moly and lots of silver.
