Hey folks, it's been six weeks. I've got a chunk of development video. Let's take a look at that first We could break that box open We could basically turn it inside out and have hardware that could be expanded as needed Like tiling out a bigger ballroom floor after the dancing has already started If we're gonna make those three Right in here. We need to clear out These two to extend these down redo some of this wiring. We could plug up Loads three internally Powered up get it updated Shut it down then put in the data only connectors between them and Bring it back up this This is the Building extending the ballroom floor after the dancing has already started. So the thought is What do you think the odds are that we could do all this and Not disrupt this Current run that I think the odds are very very low, but what the hell let's give it a try our injector Which we can use this one. Well, we can just leave this for the moment So we can disconnect this Series tiles and we will revisit ones in the later lotuses Splitter and that brand new supply Three for the first time we're disconnected 170 watts 170 watts is this thing's booting these down from these And then think about They only really hot. This is not a good one. So This This is not a good. So whatever taking 50 watts through this thing, it's too much for this All right Put in G-Series here. Just kind of single connection So hopefully it'll update all these guys in fact Hopefully it'll update them to the 2d printer 165 and 170 Change watts One Lotus 2 Lotus 3 the laptop and the Fuji plus the UPS overhead I think we are getting to the point So power down Loads 3 I'm sorry to get home with connectors and then power it up So that's it that's the birth of Lotus 3 Lotus 3 is fine. I haven't had a Eugene run going on it for a couple of weeks I guess almost now that'll be up soon There's a bunch of issues about that so The watt meter that's measuring the whole thing. We're at 170 watts for 3 Lotuses I don't think we're going to be able to go all the way to 7 and be running it through a single UPS and a single list that and The other thing I have to deal with that the bigger more immediate issue is heat In some of these demos Once you know to look for it that things often seem to be running slowly in the middle and they run quicker around the Edges and it's true It's not a it's not an illusion because the edges have two advantages number one They have fewer other tiles connected to them. So they have less load on them They only have to talk in two or three or four directions instead of six directions but also they're closer to fresh air and Once these tiles Heat up above a bunch of thresholds that I stuck in there. They start cranking down the CPU so The I've you know been planning on doing something to get you know CPU fans or something to stick in the bookshelves behind it to pull air out So there's some positive flow going through the thing. It's time to move on that. All right, so that's the development story I Took the month of March off. It's been six weeks The goals was to get GDRO user space spikes. What the heck is that? That's Generalized distributed ring oscillator. This is the new idea for a way to have a low level best effort sink Among the tiles to agree who's turned it is and they pass a token around in a nice robust self-stabilizing way Got nowhere got nothing on it We'll talk about that in a sec Build Lotus 3 did it make search quiet wake the science fiction story more accessible to try to get it out there I mean the point of you know, I'm convinced that there is an audience for the story as it stands But since part of the whole point of doing outreach with a science fiction story is to try to reach a little bit of a bigger Audience it seems to me It's it's legitimate to try to say is there some easy steps that we could do to make the story a little bit more easy For people to get their heads around I have some done some work around that the other goal was have some fun All right, so the development story is Lotus 3 next step is cooling the research story was you know Getting this redo Bottom-up best effort be more UDP ish and less TCP ish rather than assuming permanent reliable stream Just take it as it lays Didn't work on it at all now partly that was because I had a terrible writers block on a separate Bit of writing just regular scientific writing that I was supposed to be due that wasted a ton of time Well invested a ton of time whatever you think But also I am getting concerned about how much big hacking I still have in me You know, I it's hard to find four hours to put together and if I do it's hard to stay on task You know, I need some of these study drugs. There's just there's something. I don't know So that's a concern I have I haven't I haven't given up I you know, there's always been excuses so far and I still want to go on this But it's taken long enough that I that you know just being honest. I Don't know. Maybe things are changing We'll see about that going forward So that's the research story not very satisfying. Oh, yeah, there's more a little bit more about development So I did order one of these USB temperature sensors That Supposedly you can talk to with Linux and and you can and it's got its own set of problems and so forth like it comes out You know five degrees centigrade off So you have to add numbers to it and I think what's really going on is you're supposed to use the software, you know The windows only software mini CD that comes with it To calibrate the thing and just out of the box. It's not calibrated properly But you know so far a constant offset seems to be not too far off and so now it's recording in the room called the dark room where the The grid is growing We're watching the temperature start to go up and down and so forth So we've got at least a baseline to understand something about what's going on in the room when we start to get the actual cooling Okay, so my goal for the science fiction story search quiet wake which I've been talking about for months here My new attitude is you know the goal is to increase its rejection count. It's only been rejected once that's unacceptable It should be rejected twice three four times if need be Like that so the plan is to do some of these rewrites to make it a little bit more accessible I have a little blurb paragraph that put at the front that I think you know sort of helped set the stage and you know I talked to one one of my early readers who liked it the way it was and and he said you know He could see how that might help, but he could also see how an editor might just say get rid of it Like that, you know, which is fine if I get as far as having an editor and they want to get rid of it That would be wonderful But the goal then is before the next update To submit the story to get it's a second rejection from Clark's World magazine and You know, it's I thought since I'd sent it as miles magazine and I thought this was Arthur C. Clark, but it's not it's it's Neil Clark the editor of the American Arts World and you know look, you know He the current issue has got a story by Greg Egan. Greg Egan's a big time science fiction writer I am a Greg Egan fanboy, you know, here's the story. I haven't gone to read it yet but they take You know open they have an online submission system a lot like the Asimovs things they actually care about the cover letter So I need to spend a little bit more time on that and then they Neil Clark gives some hints on the very very helpful on what you need to put it what would be good to put it And what wouldn't be put in but you know, look at this this is our average response time is typically under two days That's because they reject everything so My goal is, you know, within say the next week To make the accessibility rewrites to search quiet wake to get it in there and to get it rejected before the next update so that's the plan on the story and If there's news interim news, I will I will mention it on the t2 discord t2 tile project discord server that we have so Folks there hip to discord Could you know check in there to get our earlier news if there is any okay?  It is an actual thing So number one, so, you know, I wrote these new verses for the 12 days of Christmas 12 steps to robust And I'm actually trying to work on singing it And you know, I haven't sung since elementary school since I was a soprano and So I've been you know, googling random web pages about learn to drop your larynx and sing from your diaphragm and So on and you know watching random YouTube videos and so forth. And you know, I think the long and short of it is I I Can I can I don't sound great. I'm not a singer, but I can sound okay on this specific song The 12 steps to robust except for picking new metrics except for that which which sails a little bit out of my range You might my range is like about four notes wide So I have to figure out what to do about that But you know, hey, it was a new thing and it was actually kind of fun And you know, I'm recording little takes and then listening to them ouch And it's better than it was You know a little sense of progress and just like do any new thing you get the low hanging fruit So that was fun. In addition, we took a day trip. We drove out into the the Hemes in northern New Mexico To look at the red rocks and see the old churches along the way There's some red rocks and even though it was like the absolute end of March We actually managed to have a little lovely snowstorm to have our picnic in and so forth. So it was actually a lot of fun So that was great Okay, and that's it really Six weeks but now back on cadence and so Two weeks from now April 26th So the goal bump the SQW rejection count Try again on getting G draw user spikes going But also for the development actually have a demo somehow of an external fan I bought a fan that could be used but I got to come up with something to Drive a 12 volt supply for it and some way it would be optimal to have some way to control the speed It's got these little things in it But I don't know exactly how to work that out and connect it to the laptop or a raspberry pi or something We'll see maybe that'll end up counting having some fun, too We shall see Folks whether you're here live or watching the updates later. Thanks so much for coming Europe is still at war people are dying by the thousands.  So we're doing all right. I hope y'all are doing all right, too Thanks so much for coming by


You know how there are a million and one stories about how adults are all gone and so kids take over and form their own society? Well, the young world is one of those. This is the introduction song. It's not very good, but it's not too long. Before I really get into the review, I just want to say something. So this book, I think it's actually really good. I did enjoy it, but the thing is when I went into it, I was not expecting to enjoy it. I saw the title, I read what it was about, and I saw who wrote it, which I'll get to him in a minute.  That sounds like a train wreck. I'm going to read that and just it might be surprising. You know, it might be kind of good, but I was not expecting to enjoy it.  And I did have part of me that was thinking, okay, it might be good. So I was going into it with a somewhat open mind, but even before I had started reading it, I was kind of refusing to meet it on its own terms. And as it went on, I think I was around 40, 50 pages in before I realized like, no, this is genuinely good. You know, if I set aside all my reservations about like the genre itself and set aside all my issues with young adults and set some of that stuff aside and just meet this book on its own terms, just look at it, what it's trying to do and look at how well it does that, then I realized, yeah, it's good. It's actually well written. It's actually well put together. There's a lot of stuff in here to enjoy. I realized that for a long time, I haven't been meeting stuff on its own terms, you know, not just books, like that's the main thing I talk about on this channel, obviously, but with, you know, video games, movies, all sorts of stuff that I enjoy, I've been enjoying it a lot less because I haven't been meeting it on its own terms. And I hate to keep reusing that phrase, but that's really the best way of putting it, I can think of.   And same with stuff like space opera or military science fiction or just whatever.  So with that small rant out of the way, let's talk about the young world for real. So this book is all about a world in which an apocalyptic virus went out and it killed all of the adults and all of the young kids, and now there's only teenagers left. And not only that, but all the people left once they reach a certain age, the disease hits them too and they die.  Enter the two main POV characters of this book, a guy named Jefferson and a girl named Donna. They are both members of a tribe that hangs out in Washington Square Park in Manhattan. And at the beginning of the book, Jefferson's older brother, who was their leader, dies of the disease. And so Jefferson, I don't want to say he ascends the throne because the other people vote for him, but they agree to make him the leader. And one of the other members of their tribe finds out about this scientific journal about the virus and he thinks, okay, if I can go find that, then maybe I can make some sort of treatment or cure for this illness. And pretty much the whole rest of the book is just them traveling through the very dangerous remains of post-apocalypse New York trying to reach this journal and trying to find a cure. Now, I personally think it's a little silly that they're looking for an actual cure. To me, that's like blowing things a little more out of proportion than they should be. You know, like post-apocalypse shouldn't be about saving the world because, well, the world's already destroyed. But you know, again, once I just sort of let that roll over me and accepted it for what it is, I thought that was a pretty good plot. You know, I will say that the story doesn't really drag at any point. You know, the beginning is really solid because not only do you have Jefferson's brother dying, but before that, you have another group of survivors come over and try and strong arm them into giving up some of their women in exchange for a pig. And well, yeah. So right off the bat, that tells you that, one, these guys who, they later become the closest thing to a villain that this book has. One, that they're kind of psycho. Two, that this world is also kind of psycho. Three, that the main characters are decent enough people. And four, it caught me off-guard, if nothing else.  And as the story goes on, there's usually something big and important happening. And I will say that this one was a little bit too fast in a couple of points. Like, there's a couple of parts where I would have liked them to stay there a little bit longer and get to know some of these characters more and really just bask in the setting, or not bask in the setting, bask in the atmosphere. Fuck, I can't think of the word. I'm not not re-recording that, but just bask in all that and enjoy it a little. But that really is a nitpick. Overall, this is a pretty good plot, right up until the climax where, well, there really isn't a climax, you know? Like, I'll talk about it a little bit in the spoiler section, but once they get to near the end, everything slows down and kind of stops for a little bit, and then a couple of things happen and then there's a cliffhanger right at the end.  I'm excited to see what happens next. This has a really solid character cast, too. Now, I mentioned the two main POV characters, Jefferson and Donna. And Jefferson is kind of not super interesting, I will admit. Like, he has a couple of moments where you hear about his backstory. Like, his father was like 40 years older than his mother, and he was a soldier in World War II, and Jefferson himself is a Buddhist, and stuff like that. And some of that is kind of interesting, and it does influence some of his outlook and everything. And I'm not saying he's a bad character by any means. I'm just thinking that in a lot of ways he's kind of a generic good guy. But here's the thing, only about half the chapters follow him, the other half follow Donna. And I said in the past that a lot of YA books have multiple POVs and they really, really don't need them. In fact, it detracts from the story most of the time. In this case, that's not true. Because Donna and Jefferson have very distinct narrative voices. And not only that, but in my copy of the book, they're actually written with different fonts. So you can immediately tell just from looking at it, okay, this is Jefferson, or okay, this is Donna. And Jefferson's narration is more of like a traditional narrative. You know, it's like, okay, here's all these details, and here's what I think about things, here's me going off on a little diatribe. You know, just what you would expect from a work of fiction, whether it's being a little artsy, and that makes sense because they actually mentioned in the book that he's a storyteller, you know, he's really good at telling stuff, that sort of stuff. So it makes sense that something from his perspective would be written that way. Now, Donna on the other hand, is written a little more, I don't want to say skeletal, but there's a lot less detail. Hers, it feels more like a normal person, where they only focus in on the really important stuff, and then they kind of gloss over some of the other bits. Like, there's a lot of points where she's describing dialogue, and it'll be written almost like a script, where it's like, Jefferson, and then what he said, and then Peter, and then what Peter said, and then me, and what she said.  I thought they were both charming in their own way, but they are distinct, and they are both good, I think. So I liked that. The only thing about Donna, and again, this is nitpicky, is that her, she is a little grating at times. Not throughout the whole book, but just at a couple of points, because her personality is kind of an odd combination of like, a stereotypical teenage girl. Like, imagine a valley girl from a movie from the early 2000s, like that kind of vapid, obnoxious teenage girl stereotype, and then it's kind of combined with, oh, I'm not like other girls, I'm not superficial like those other bitches, and that sort of thing. And one, those don't always mesh well, and two, they're both kind of annoying in their own way. But again, that's only at a couple of points.  Most of the other characters are good too, and I'm not going to go into all of them in a lot of detail, but I mean, I remember most of their names, I remember at least something about their personalities. I remember at least one or two funny moments that they all had, because that's another thing about this book. It's genuinely funny. Like, I saw the author, it was Chris Whites, and if you don't know that name, I don't blame you. I didn't know it earlier, but I was familiar with his other work, because he works in Hollywood. He's been a producer, a director, and a writer on movies like American Pie, The Golden Compass, Twilight Saga New Moon, About a Boy, and this is actually his first book. And the thing is, all those movies, it's a mixed bag, it's a very mixed bag in terms of quality. Like, I'm not blaming him for Twilight New Moon being bad, like no one could have salvaged that source material, but it was kind of interesting, and so that's part of why I was thinking, okay, this might just be a train wreck, but I think that his comedic writing, because I do genuinely like the American Pie movies, I think they're really funny, his comedic writing shines through here. He knows how to make me laugh. And again, a lot of it is gallows humor is the thing, but there is also just some stuff like irony, and people misunderstanding the motivations of one another, and sometimes the characters just make regular jokes, and it's a really funny book at points, and I think that's important because it's really dark and dreary a lot of the time, you know, it's after the apocalypse, humanity is dying in slow motion, like you need to be able to bring some levity in once in a while, and he does that admirably, so yeah, major props for that. Now the biggest single issue I have with this, and it's really not that big, but it was, it did irk me, was the love triangle. Now here's the thing, I'm not terrible writing advice, I don't think all love triangles are awful all the time. I think that when you do them well, they can really add to a story, and they can really give a feeling of uncertainty, and they can really help develop the characters. The problem is that they're done well so rarely, like they are almost never done well, and this book is no exception, and it annoyed me more because at the beginning it seems like they're going to do a love triangle between Jefferson, Donna, and Jefferson's older brother, because it's made clear that Donna has a thing for his older brother, and that Jefferson has a thing for Donna, but his brother dies pretty early on, so I was thinking, okay, so they were just, you know, kind of subverting the trope there, okay? It's like he's bringing attention to the fact that these sorts of stories usually have a love triangle, and then taking it away, so it's like, okay, he's aware of what he's doing, but then later on, they meet another girl named Kath, and she has a thing for Jefferson, oh man. It's not developed, it doesn't add anything. In fact, it kind of takes away because Kath has some aspects to her character that I kind of like, but the thing is, she fights with Donna a lot over Jefferson, and it just kind of makes both of them look like a bunch of, I don't really like saying this, but it makes them look like catty flirtatious bitches, and it's one, it's annoying to read, and two, it really takes away from both of those characters, so the love triangle in this was a huge, huge downside. So that's about it for the non-spoiler section. I had a lot more to say about this than I initially thought I would, because, well, when you accept something for what it is, and just go into it with an open mind, you're probably going to enjoy it more than you would have normally, and that's not to say that every book I've reviewed before this has been like, okay, you shouldn't take my opinion seriously because I'm just looking for reasons to hate it. That's not true. It's just that I wasn't going into all of them with the attitude that I probably should have, and if you go into this one with the attitude of like, okay, that's a little silly, but why not? Let's check it out. I think you'll really like it. I think there's a lot to like in here. It's a fun journey. It's fun seeing this little society. You have really good characters that you follow, and there is a feeling of dread throughout a lot of it because you know if they fail, the world really will end. So would I recommend this? If you're into YA, yes, I'd probably recommend it. If you're into post-apocalyptic stories, sure, give it a shot. So now the spoiler section. This shouldn't be too long, but basically, near the end of the book, Jefferson and Donna and all their friends reach this island where the research facility that made the virus, that killed everybody, is being kept, and they run into a whole bunch of kids there who are all drugged up and crazy, and they get captured and they bring them to the one last adult that's alive in the world. He was one of the scientists that helped create the virus, and he gives kind of some pseudo-scientific explanation for how it works. It's not important. It's a plot device, whatever. And then he starts like experimenting on them, trying to find out, okay, here's how we can cure this, blah blah blah, and they get held prisoner for a while, and then one of their friends appears to betray them, but then he very quickly turns around and reveals that okay, I didn't actually betray you and he helps them out, and then the lead scientist guy appears to die, and then a helicopter comes out, and there's some adults in it, and they're like, whoa, there's adults there, and then the book ends, and I mean, like I said before, it's not much of a climax. It's very disappointing, and it leaves you thinking more like, well, what's going on?  So thanks again to everyone who watched, please like and subscribe and comment and all that other shit I'm supposed to say, and thanks especially to my patrons, Des Brennan, Christopher Hawkins, and Joseph Pendergraft, and all the others, if you'd like to consider donating to my page, maybe you can get some goodies or something, I don't know, why don't you go check that out? Bye.


So the topic is percents. So let's start first with a definition. A percent is simply means out of 100. So for example, if I have 37%, it really means 37 over 100. That's simple. Percent. Alright, we're going to go through a lot of different rules where percents, decimals, fractions. The first one is how to change a percent to a decimal. So I have 25%. I'm going to first off drop the percent, and I'm going to figure out where the decimal currently is since there's not a decimal. I know that the decimal follows right after the last value, which is the five. And then to change that percent to a decimal, I'm simply going to move that decimal two places to the left. So it now becomes 0.25. So 25% is the same thing as 0.25. So how do we change a percent to a decimal? You move the decimal two places to the left. Second example, or second rule. How do we change a decimal to a percent? So we have 0.95. We're just going to go backwards from what we just did. So we're going to take the decimal point and move it two places to the right this time. So it now becomes 95%. So I moved it two places to the right, and I added a percent sign. So to change a decimal to a percent, move the decimal two places to the right. All right. Now what if you want to change a percent to a fraction? This one is really simple. All you have to do is remember what percent stands for. It means out of 100. So 20% is really 20 over 100. And that particular fraction is fine. That is acceptable unless your instructor needs you to reduce that, and that fraction will reduce. So if you're asked to put that fraction in simplest form, you would want to reduce it. The largest number that will go into both 20 and 100 is 20. So divide the numerator and denominator by the 20. 20 divided by 20 is 1, and 100 divided by 20 is 5. So two possible answers, 20 over 100 or 1 over 5. So how do we change a percent to a fraction? It's simple. Just remember that a percent means out of 100. Now to change a fraction to a percent, there are two methods. The first method I'm going to use deals with proportions. So I'm going to take 10 over 30, the original problem, and I'm going to set up a proportion remembering what percent means. Percent means something over 100. So something is what I'm looking for over 100. And then I'm going to just cross-multiply. So 10 times 100 would give me 1,000, and set it equal to 30 times x, which is 30x. Now to solve this, of course we're wanting to solve this equation for x, 30 and x are being multiplied. So to undo that process, I'm going to divide both sides by 30. I'm going to grab my calculator and 1,000 divided by 30 will give us approximately 33.3. I'm going to use the wavy lines for approximately. And this other side of course just becomes x. So x is 33.3 percent. So 10 over 30 changes to 33.3 percent. So to change a fraction to a percent, you can just set up a proportion. Well there's another method. The other method isn't the method I really prefer, it's a little bit easier. You're going to start by taking the 10 over 30 and changing it to a decimal. So 10 divided by 30 would be approximately 0.333. And now that I have a decimal, I can easily change that decimal to a percent. If you remember from the previous rule, to change it to a percent, I'm going to move that decimal two places to the right. So this becomes 33.3 percent. So 10 over 30 again is 33.3 percent. And we get exactly the same answer we did in the previous slide. So to change a fraction to a percent, change the fraction to a decimal first, which is what we did here using the calculator. And then you can change that decimal to a percent by moving it two places to the right. Now the final rule is what if you're dealing with the percent of a number. And this is also really simple. So 20 percent of 16. The first thing, focus on the 20 percent and changing that 20 percent to a decimal. So currently the decimal is after the zero. To change a percent to a decimal, you move it two places to the left. So we now have 0.20. Alright, second thing, the word of typically with percents, the word of implies multiplication. And then the last thing, just drop down the 16. So we're going to do 0.20 times 16, which will give us 3.2. So 20 percent of 16 is 3.2. So what did we do? So to find the percent of a number, change the percent to a decimal, which is what we did here, and then you're simply going to multiply. And one other thing to remember, when working with percents, the word of implies multiplication. So you now have all the rules. Let's take a minute and look at two possible examples. So there are 55 students in a class. 25 of them work 20 hours a week or more at jobs outside of school. What percent of the students work 20 hours or more per week at jobs? So we're looking for the percent of students. So what do we know? We know that there are a total of 55 students in this class. And we know that 25 of them are working 20 hours or more a week. So first we can set up just a fraction to represent this or a ratio to represent this. So 25 out of 55 students are working. So 25 students are working 20 hours a week or more out of 55 students that are the total number of students in the class. So again, you have two options of how you can do this. First, I could change this fraction to a decimal. So 25 divided by 55 would give me approximately 0.45. And then remember, we can then change that decimal to a percent by moving the decimal point two places to the right. So that would give me 45 percent. So this is method one. And this means that 45 percent of the students in this particular class work 20 hours a week or more. Now let's look at method two. The other option would be to take the same 25 out of 55 students and set up a proportion. And remember, because we're talking about a percent, it's going to be something, which I don't know, out of 100. Again, to solve this, we just cross multiply. So 25 times 100 would be 2500. Set it equal to 55 times x, which is 55x. And again, to solve, we're just going to divide both sides by 55. So 2500 divided by 55 will give us again about 45 percent is equal to our value. So in both cases, we end up with 45 percent. One more example. Osteoporosis is a disease that leads to brittle bones and is partially caused by a lack of calcium. Each year, 250,000 people suffer osteoporosis-related hip fractures, about 15 percent of whom die after sustaining such fractures. How many people die each year after fracturing their hip? So there are two numbers that we need to focus on. The first one, we're talking about a total of 250,000 people who suffer from hip fractures. And then we're given that 15 percent of those die. So let's see if we can write this into a problem that makes a little more sense written out in words. So it's really 15 percent of how many die? Well, out of a total of 250,000. So 15 percent of the total is going to be the number that die. And this goes back to one of our rules. First thing, you want to take the 15 percent and change it to a decimal. So remember, right now, 15 the decimal places here, move it two places to the left, and we end up with 0.15. Then remember the word of implies multiplication. And then finally just drop down the 250,000. So it becomes a very simple multiplication problem.  So that sums up her sense.


The maintenance for Pokemon Homes 3.0 update has finally been confirmed. We're going to go over all the details on this confirmed release date in today's video. So over the last week we've had some questionable news about Pokemon Home and it's official release date for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. It will be getting updated to 3.0 and was initially confirmed to be releasing on the 24th of May which was earlier this week. Obviously a day after that release got announced that got debunked and it was a miscommunication and since then we haven't really heard anything. But just a few moments ago we've had this confirmed by the Japanese Twitter page. You can see here they've just literally put this out from the 30th of May which is Tuesday next week. Pokemon Home will be updated sequentially along with that maintenance of Pokemon Home is scheduled from 9am on the same day. Please note that Pokemon Home will not be available during maintenance. Goes on to say in addition due to access load balancing the time at which you can log in differs for each customer and it may take up to 3pm on the 31st which is the Wednesday. For details please refer to smartphone version of Pokemon Home. We are sorry to keep you waiting but please wait a little longer. So then Serabi has kind of followed up with this tweet as usual hot off the press. Pokemon Home has undergone maintenance from the 30th of May at midnight UTC until 6am that morning. Version 3.0 will release alongside maintenance with Pokemon Scholar and Violet connectivity. And then if we go over to Serabi itself it has a little bit more information about the staggered kind of login for Pokemon Home on the 30th. It has been confirmed that Pokemon Home patch that will be added to Pokemon Scholar and Violet connectivity on May the 30th. Following maintenance that runs from midnight UTC to 6am UTC but maintenance can run until 4am UTC May the 31st which is the Wednesday as the Japanese Twitter page kind of suggested. As players will be given staggered login times to reduce server strain. With this you'll be able to send Pokemon to and from two apps as well as send in Pokemon from prior games. As we discussed in our previous video where we were discussing the 24th as the release date we went through all the details on that. So if you want to check out everything new compatibility features in the game check that video out. I'll link it in the top right hand corner just bear in mind that that date was the wrong date and now we have the right date. So that is some brilliant news that we've got. Coming up this Tuesday which would be the 30th of May Pokemon Home will finally be coming to Pokemon Scholar and Violet and I would definitely take this one as the confirmation because it is coming from official sources in Japan this time and it isn't being kind of miscommunicated or whatever anything lines being crossed with the western Twitter pages that haven't seemed to have caught up yet. So this is straight from the source. This feels like it's very real and I would imagine that the 30th will be the day that the maintenance and the update to 3.0 will be happening. Normally around this time though we do get an update for the dens. Obviously we had the issue last weekend where the Great Tusk Iron Threads and the Chestnut Raid for the 7 star Chestnut got cancelled mid raid on the Friday morning which has not been addressed just yet and we have no further news on what the updates are going to be in regards to these raids coming back or anytime soon. We did get a sneak peek earlier in the week that the Delphox raid was scheduled to go live today but that has been pulled as well and it doesn't look like there's any further information on that. Of course we will update on the channel here as soon as we do get any news updates on these raids coming back into game and of course in other news as well we did get an update to 3.1.1 in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. This update fixes a few things including issues with the invite only online competitions the issues that the Japanese and Korean players had in their qualifiers. Other than that we don't really know what other things have been fixed because the patch nuts for this small patch have not been released and it does appear to be a small patch. It doesn't seem to be anything affected further on than that in the games from what data miners have picked up. So that is everything for today but we do have the confirmation finally for Pokemon Home. It will be coming on Tuesday that is super exciting news at least we've got a fixed date now for when the maintenance will start when it will end and then when the drip feed of when you'll be able to log in will begin which will kind of continue on into that Wednesday which is the 31st. So as soon as we know any more information on it we will cover it and of course the same goes for the raids like we've already mentioned. Thank you so much for tuning in friends have a great rest of your day and I will see you all in another video very soon so until then take care of yourselves and bye bye.


It's amazing Kingdala, you know, Kingdala was up, rejected at a lower price, but yet the market still ran big time. So we got Kingdala up $126.00, $104.00, $101.00, Euro 108, again $149.00, British pound, $126.00. As we kick into March, folks, bottom line, they're kicking into window dressing also, so I suspect we're going to get out here tomorrow. They're going to run this market, man. That's the bottom line. We'll see what ends up happening after window dressing, but, you know, you've got an expansion, oh, look at the expansion of volume of the spy. That's a big expansion of volume from what I just did, the end of the show, $71 million. That's more than the high, so bottom line, it's going to blow away the high. NDX, it's going to be the same thing in the NDX, man. If the spy did $71 million, the NDX, yep, $40 million, same deal. You can see that in the bottom here. It's going to blow that, it's going to open over the highest tomorrow, the NDX, and probably the spy. That's how this is set up right now. Now that's saying, let's go over to this dollar, because this dollar, man, each and every time it comes down to the lower range, it just says, see, I don't want to be up. Did the exact same thing today. We'll see how this thing shakes out tomorrow morning, but got down to 103.660, said bye-bye, ends up at 104.11. Gold has action, folks. You just heard Tim Ord, bottom line with the gold contract out here today, nice volume, 216,000 contracts, took out the last five days of trading. Bottom line, next swing point, here we come, and as we get up higher, we get to see that volume continue to expand as we go to higher price. That's the bottom line, because if you go to higher price, there's got to be more buyers. We'd like to see a sign of strength, sign of strength, there's wide price spread, accelerated volume. Have a great night, folks. Have a safe night. Come back and visit Tommy tomorrow to kick you off 9 o'clock. Look at them, folks.
