Okay, I'm going to do my best at just talking about the good stuff the good stuff cuz there was a ton of really cool things if if if you're a Mario fan if you love Mario this direct was kind of insane um I like Mario never been my favorite I was always the Zelda kid growing up but Here's the thing. Yes. Yes stinky little piss ants We just had the best Zelda game of all time Release and I'm desperately working on my review. I'm sorry. It's taking so long So I can't really complain and I'm not going to I had my game. I'm good honestly for the next five years I don't need anymore, but you know, I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm God I want more of course I do of course I do of course I do but we're gonna go through and we're gonna look at all the Good stuff. We're gonna look at the good stuff. I'm not gonna worry about the other fluff Yeah, I can go into all that detail on my podcast with Bob tomorrow We're just gonna look at the good stuff I will say one thing off the bat this direct more than any other direct is really showing the switches age like even Nintendo's own First IPs they bring into the table here are looking rough one last thing I want to say before we get started I'm gonna be at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center this weekend I'm gonna be at too many games if you want to come say hi and hang out I'll be there all weekend Kim has a booth where she's selling her Etsy stuff And she'll be there all weekend you can go find her on the show floor. I have a panel at some point We're doing a non-tendo podcast episode live come see us come hang out. We'll have a good time really quickly I want to talk about the Pokemon DLC. You guys know my thoughts already. I gotta be honest It's really hard to get a hyped for these trailers when the game looks like this. It's just that is an ugly-ass game These sweeping shots and it's just especially after tears of the kingdom, you know It's just looking rough and I'm I've moved on. I'm sorry. I I I've moved on from the Scarlet and Violet. I played it. It's done. I don't know We we saw this in the Xbox event, but it's coming a switch So I think a small issue we had with this direct is that we just went through the E3 time Everybody else's events and they were great I had a lot of fun watching those live with you guys on twitch and we saw a lot of things that were in this event already Like we saw this new Sonic game, which is looking really good, and I'm actually looking forward to it It's good to know it's coming to switch. We also saw that persona tactics game So a lot of the wind was taken out of the sails as far as seeing them here again But it is nice to know that we can play them on switch. You're already free to play Create the idyllic life of your dream. It's like for us. We then got a free game a free farming sim Sort it looked like it is built in the fortnight engine. I would say decent, you know for free I'll give it a shot. You can play with friends. I sure wish somebody would bring me some coffee I never played the first detective Pikachu Kim did and then here we have a sequel coming to the switch I love the detective Pikachu's personality trust me. I love coffee to this rough-guff little cutie Definitely has my heart, but the visuals my guy did they make this game in the scarlet and violet engine? Do they know they don't have to make games look this bad? Does game freak know how to make games that don't look bad? I really don't know anymore But hopefully the story is good enough to to pull that one through and this is what I just meant by the switch Really showing its age or maybe some of the developers for the console not knowing How to work with this old console? I just don't know what's happening anymore But it's it's getting harder and harder to justify this I lost my mind at this next one. Oh, this is probably just Nintendo online. I Thought we were getting a sequel Wait, wait, wait, wait, what? Initially? I thought this was just Mario RPG coming to the super Nintendo online Service whatever and then I thought isn't it already on that? I'm not even sure it doesn't matter either way It's a remake of Mario RPG the first Mario RPG I I was amazed by this because it's just one of those niche Colt game classic from Nintendo that felt feels like they forgot about or just didn't want to acknowledge You know, they'd moved on to the Mario and Luigi Bowser's story saga games and all of that and they weren't ever coming back But they came back they came back and they've remade the game. It looks great It looks like it's in that super Nintendo 16-bit style. They had but HD a fight, you know new Neuified it looks I just love the way they've done it But then it didn't stop there because we're not only getting this Mario game, but we're getting a brand-new peach game Yoshi peach peach, huh in a brand-new game. Oh Where she's the lead in her own game, which I think has maybe happened once or twice before but very Rarely and not like this. This is like a full She's getting the full Mario game treatment and I love that but then but then What is happening? What is happening everybody gets a Luigi's mansion dark moon Originally released on Nintendo 3ds Luigi is getting another boy. He's it's an old it's an old game But it's Luigi's mansion dark moon that was on 3ds. I love this because now we have do we have both Luigi's mansion? On the switch already. I don't know, but we at least have the new one. I think we have both Do we I don't know I can't be bothered googling dark moon on 3ds a lot of people liked it but it had issues it was very restrictive in how you play and They said they're remaking it So I'm hoping that they take on those criticisms and they kind of remake it in a new way Well, it doesn't play exactly the same but it feels like the same game if that makes sense If they could bring it up to the level of the first Luigi's mansion and the third Luigi's mansion that would be great. Oh Become Batman and now this is not as exciting But a lot of people have been waiting for Batman to come to switch for forever. What is happening my guy? I couldn't think of a harsher More contrasting transition than going from three Mario games to three gritty dark Batman games This is honestly at an announcement that we've been waiting for for a long time Too long to the point where the wind is almost out of the sails because my god Why wasn't this like the first year of switch? They are great games and if it gives other people a chance to play him for the first time I'm all for it Oh Don't hate me, but I'm gonna skip over everything until Pikmin this you know He's I love that Arlo just has this on lock You know whenever Pikmin's on the screen Everyone's always a bit hollows losing his mind right now, and I hope he was we got the first two Pikmin's Dropping on switch later today, which was very unexpected and we got a big look at this new Pikmin 4. I I'll give you my honest thoughts because we're on my YouTube channel You know what I mean? This is my thoughts and sometimes I feel like I can't give my thoughts because I don't want to upset people or harsh hype However, I feel about this game or this series doesn't affect how much fun you can have with it I was I'll just say that I do like Pikmin, you know, I oh well I just noticed that classic Gameboy they picked up. That's kind of sick I do like Pikmin. I played Pikmin 3 finished it on Wii U I thought it was a really pretty game. I was impressed by the graphics of the Wii U at the time I remember that and I enjoyed the micro management aspect to it too. I thought it was very unique and I had a good time I wouldn't say it was super memorable. I didn't latch on to the series and think like man I can't wait for the next one. So I'm kind of in that area and getting a fourth one here I'm seeing some new things being added to it and I want to be excited.   I have actually never played a metal gear. It's one of those weird Gaps in my gaming experience that I've never really had so I might play through it. Are you? You going crazy right now. Are you killing that lamb right now? Are you a good girl? Yes People in my chat were going very excited for new Mario Kart characters. I We're already being we're already being honest with each other, right? We're already sharing our true inner feelings about everything and you're not getting mad at me. I don't care I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't care I'm sick of pretending like I do this game is 10 years old I know there's new tracks coming to but as far as new characters go that doesn't change anything to me It doesn't change anything. I use peach Exclusively anyway, I'm never gonna use another character. I don't care. I don't care. I don't know I don't want to be that guy It's just We've I've played this game to death and adding a skin for a character just doesn't excite me in anything You know in fortnight in Mario Kart. It's not exclusive. It's not I'm not being mean just a Nintendo or Mario Kart It's not an exclusive issue. Oh Star Ocean's getting a remake and I never played it and I always wanted to I bought it on PlayStation 2 when I got into Retro-collecting and never got around to actually playing it and this is a fun mesh up of almost two Retro styles it gives me like Final Fantasy 9 World visual Feeling but then the sprite characters obviously like Super Nintendo Meshing these two retros together, but with great lighting. I Really like this like weird 2d HD 3d style that devs have been playing around with over the last several years wait There's another one Didn't we just get one of these and again for Mario fans I'm gonna count warrior where in that we just got a warrior where game and it kind of sucked This one looks a lot better actually. I actually think this one looks pretty fun and wacky I like the idea of using the joy cons to to shake hoops and stuff I like goofy games like this as much as the next guy, but I wouldn't say it's something I need I just think it looks funny Ah Okay, you're looking forward to that. That's I don't want to sick though Oh, I was hoping we would get more amiibo's to go along with this guy Breath of the wild had a ton of amiibo's for all the champions the characters even the Guardian So only having this amiibo so far I was like I know there's more coming the Ganon one looks pretty predictable You know it looks cool, but it you know it's I could have guessed that the Zelda one I think looks really cool holding the sword like that. Ah God I look forward to getting those then the the final thing. No, everybody It wasn't Metroid Prime for God forbid they tell us how that game is going at all I don't even want to know at this point. She is getting that thing right now Yeah, I'm talking about you. Oh It's a new Mario.  Oh, I Like it. There's a new old-school Mario game This is this is really cool for old-school Mario fans I again, this is my least favorite kind of Mario the 2d Mario's are my least favorite But they've almost taken like a Rayman Ubisoft approach. It's very characterized it's very Animated and comic bookie and cartoony like Saturday morning cartoon vibes. Like I don't know this visual style It hit me so hard and so different But I really like it like the animation while he's gliding and holding the rail there the Sound the the words that come up when you squish something like awesome wonderful or whatever it is that comes up The talking flowers Weirdly have personality and can talk about Kind of what's happening in the world one of them talks about a goomba looking peaceful until you kill it And then it says never mind and by the way you kill it as an elephant You can be elephant now This game and I hate to say it and I know it's a joke that's going to be used everywhere But it is the first thing I thought of while I was streaming and watching this this game literally looks like Mario has been doing the Shrooms that he's been doing his entire career, but they're hitting different You know what I mean like this game looks like a drug trip I it looks crazy you pick up a wonder seed or something or a wonder Something and the entire world changes and acts weird and just looks like you're on a trip I Really like it though. You got the four player co-op. It's essentially everything that new Super Mario Bros was What did I just say? It's essentially everything that new Super Mario Bros is or was but with the added benefit of being wacky and weird and Just really giving me Rayman vibes. I don't know. Yeah, I will say that I am not really a huge fan You know, I've skipped probably the last like six 2d Mario games because they all looked exactly The same this one does not look exactly the same. I will play this I am more interested in playing this than any of the 2d Mario's since Super Nintendo and I'm not even kidding. It looks like they finally are trying something new with this format and this idea of a Mario game A lot of stuff in this direct actually launched pretty soon and this comes out in October So they are filling out Some of the library this year, which is nice because we had a bunch of gaps going into this direct We didn't know anything about and you know, I guess I've been ranting about this direct for 20 minutes now And I had a lot of good things to say about a lot of it. So it really wasn't bad It really wasn't bad at all I think what where it kind of falls a little short is coming off the back of some really great events through this E3 weekend, but also the fact that it is technically their E3 time direct and if you look back at the history of ETH of Nintendo directs during E3, they are always the best ones I actually have a video on my channel where I watched every single Nintendo direct and ranked them So I kind of have a barometer for for what direct time periods are the best and we found out that it was E3 time we had some of the best just incredible directs During July and E3 in June and that kind of season. So but then again, I'm just not really a Mario fan I'm sure there are Mario fans out there that are losing their mind over what for them is the best direct ever And that's the best thing about opinions. We all have one when I make my reaction video today And I call it mid or whatever I might say when I make my video We have this we have a polled Reaction, so either I'm getting gas lit or this was actually pretty mid. You know what I mean? Don't come at me. You know what I mean? Don't come at me. Come at yourself. Oh, that didn't sound right Everybody I have a lot to edit and a long weekend, so I'm gonna leave you here, but I love you guys so much I'll see you in the next video, which will hopefully be better than this one. Bye


Intelligence has revealed that amid satellite relaunches, the US is placing a prototype weapon into orbit. The launch site is here in French Guyana. Your mission is to breach the facility and do whatever it takes to prevent the Americans from occupying it.  Away from my position! Science Mech activity in British Columbia has damaged a Canadian US research facility base. A landslide has exposed the interior and damaged the surrounding area. The Russians wrongly alleged that this has revealed a military weapon and are deploying forces onto Canadian soil to secure it. Let's send Ivan home. The wait's over. The Russians have a naval task force in the region and they just went airborne. You'll be under siege the whole time, so it won't be pretty. But holding this facility is vital to US interest in the space domain. Transport's on the way. Gear up and get ready to...


You're reviving candies as you write in real money. I just think that people have to recognize that I'm bringing back candies. Now, why did I bring them back? And this is, we're talking about, you can, I just, I refer people to the article. I want them to, but this is about the notion of growth transcending any moments in time. And that what people, I'm going back to that only to show that if you stay in touch, you buy and you do homework. And you recognize that if somebody, a company's growth slows down, as was the case with the E and their Express GRIPS, fight with their largest client. If the company is a little more fattish, that's the case of the D in there, which is Decker's and Ugg's, then you have to pull back from those. But overall, the growth, even with two stinkers, the growth far exceeded the S&P. And that's a lesson for Fang, because I have had more Fang detractors than I've ever seen, New York Times. Will you give me a break? Come on, I came up with Fang. I have seen so many detractors about growth, and they're missing the whole point, which is that stocks are bought for growth. Now, we do want yield. I like Magellan midstream. Why? Because it yields five. But I do, and I do like the typical stocks that yield three, four. But what people buy stocks for at the mutual fund level is growth. And growth can transcend a lot of transgressions. We're watching growth go higher because the transgressions of Washington are playing out.


Welcome to the third topic in this video series where I'll be introducing the matrix and thinking about what is a matrix product. Alright, so essentially a matrix is nothing more than a grid of numbers, simply a grid of numbers that could be positive or negative or fractional or zeros and when we specify the shape of our grid of numbers or we do so simply by stating how many rows we have and how many columns. So we're going to hear about rows and columns a lot in this video. In this video course I'm going to use a particular way of writing a matrix as a symbol and I need to do that. I'm going to just use a capital letter and I'm going to, the letter is going to be double underlined. I'll double underline that symbol. So here we go, A underline that means the matrix A and how would we write it? So let's just like this, essentially a grid of numbers and we put it in curvy brackets just to give it some structure. So this is three rows, two columns. That one. Here's a matrix B. Let's make it a square matrix. Let's put in a fraction to show we can. Minus 10, zero. Okay, so there are two different examples of a matrix. Easy enough, but it gets more interesting when we try and combine them. So I want to talk about matrix multiplication. Edition is simple and it's just an element by element edition, but multiplication is not so simple. So here's how we write it. The multiplication of matrix A by matrix B is simply written like this, A, B and it gives us some new matrix C, which may be a difference shape from both A and B as we'll see. Let's give ourselves a couple of examples. Three, zero, minus one, two, three, four. And matrix B can be just one, two, zero, minus three. So there are two matrices. Here I've chosen them such that A, B, that multiplication will work. It will exist. But actually if we try it the other way round, it will turn out that the multiple of those two matrices doesn't even exist. It's not a well-defined thing. So this is an extreme case of an operation not being reversible in its order. In other words, matrix multiplication is not commutative. So let's just erase that and go ahead and see how the multiplication actually works. The trick is to multiply the each row of matrix A, the first matrix by each entire column of matrix B. What does that mean? Well, let's write out our example three, two, zero, three, minus four, minus one, minus one, four, one, zero, two, minus three. Now, I know that this guy is going to have three rows and two columns, the output matrix. You'll see why in a bit. I'll just put these blanks in for now. The question is how to work out each of these numbers. Let's choose this one first. Okay. Now notice this guy's address, if you like, is row one, column one of the output matrix C. I'm going to need to, in order to work this guy out, I'll need to look at the whole of row one in the first matrix in matrix A and the whole of column one in the matrix B. I'll need to combine those guys. And how do I combine them? I just multiply my element as I go along the row and down the column. So three times one just gives me three. And then I add on the next combination. Two times two is four. So three plus four is going to give me seven. That's how I combine those two. I'll jump back here and I'll erase there and I'll just put in my seven. All right. So that's the general way it works. Let's go ahead and do the other elements of our matrix C. Let's do this one. Notice this is still row one. So I want that first row. It's now column two, that's its address. I want the second column, three times zero and two times minus three is how I'll work that out. And that's just going to be minus six. So let me jump backwards and erase my blank symbol and write in minus six. Okay. Maybe I went a bit fast. Let me spell this one out more explicitly. Okay. So here I now have row two column one. That's the address of that guy. I want all of row two and all of column one. I want to look at those guys and I want to multiply along. So zero times one and three times two. That's going to give us just six in total when we add them up. So let me erase and put in six. And now this element, that's row two column two. So I want all of row two. I want all of column two and multiply zero times zero. And three times minus three is minus nine. So that's going to be a minus nine. If I go backwards and just put in minus nine here. Now we're finally on to the final third row. So we're going to want the third row of A. And in this case, the first column, that's one times minus one and four times two is eight. That's going to be seven minus one plus eight.  So there we are. That is our matrix product C formed by combining each row and each column. It's quite a lot of work and it would be even more if we had bigger matrices. But we said that we get something quite different if we try multiplying A and B in the other order. So let's go ahead and do that now. What if we have one, zero, two, minus three, that's B, on to three, two, zero, three, minus one, four, that's A. So we can try it. We try and multiply row one by column one and we immediately find we cannot because they are a different length, a different list. So there is no third element of our row to multiply with our third element of the column. Just pause the video here and have a look at that and see why that must be impossible for us. So sometimes matrix multiplication is impossible. All right, let's look at a few little further examples and you may want to pause the video to convince yourself in each case it's true. Is this thing possible? For example, pause it and think. This one is not possible. This is not possible again because there are two elements in say the first row of A and three elements in the column, single column of B. There's no way to do that as a series of element by element products. How about this? We just have this row matrix and this column matrix. Can we do that? Yes, this one is perfectly possible. Actually, it just produces a single number. In fact, it's a bit like a dot product. It's the whole of row one times which is the entire matrix and then the whole of column one in B. This thing is called a row matrix and this other guy is called a column matrix for obvious reasons. Okay, how about this? Let's have a look at this one. What if I swap the order of my row and column? I just swap them around. Can I do that? Is that going to produce a legitimate matrix? Actually, yes it will. This time, swapping our two matrices A and B around has produced something which exists. It's actually a huge matrix. It's three by three. It must have three rows and three columns because A has three rows and B has three columns. How does it work? Let's look at that guy for example. It's just simply the number there which is row one is just a number and column two is just a number, single number. So we just do that product. There's no problem. Pause the video if it's confusing. All right. So again, the point here is that A times B is generally not equal to B times A. Even if they both exist, they may not be the same. They may not even be the same shape. However, we can go on and ask about the other kinds of properties of the matrix product operation. A on to B times C is that the same as A times B on to C? Does the order matter? Actually, it is the same. It does work. In other words, we have the associative property. How about A into B plus C? Some of two matrices. Yes, we can have A on to B plus A on to C. That is therefore the distributive property. Matrix multiplication does satisfy those things. It's just not commutative. Okay, let me make a bit more room up here in the top of the screen and put one final puzzle up. Suppose I have this two row three column matrix and then a mystery matrix M and then I have a simple column matrix of two rows and I'm asking what shape should matrix M be? Or is it even? Is it possible? Pause and think about that. And in fact, it's just a column matrix of three elements. You may want to just meditate on that and see that it's correct. Okay, that's the end of this video.


Drinking lemon water in the morning seems to be a very popular trend throughout the internet and in the blogosphere and the YouTube sphere in general. And I don't know why this trend started or who it originated with. Maybe it was with the whole master cleanse idea. But people seem to have this idea by putting a squeeze of lemon in your water in the morning. It's going to have a significant effect on your health or the detoxification pathways in your body. But in this video, I'm going to share why I do not think that is true. Hey guys, Dr. Alex Hein, author of the health book Master of the Day, Doctor of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncturist. So before we jump into this video, there are two very important links right below it. The first is if you'd like to become a patient of mine locally in Los Angeles or virtually via telemedicine, you can reach out to my private practice right below this video. And the second is for a free download, which is four daily rituals that can potentially help you add years to your life with Chinese medicine. So I recently shot this video on food grade medicine versus medical grade medicine. Now this is very important to talk about because I think for so many people, there is a certain kind of disconnection that traditional cultures have. You know, in the modern world, no one uses pharmaceuticals for fun, right? You don't ever put medication for a diabetic person in your oatmeal in the morning to spice it up, for example. You know, no one's ever taking a high blood pressure medication just for shits and giggles. But in reality, in traditional cultures, this line is a little bit more skewed because in ancient times, medicine was very often besides medical interventions, medicine was often traditional herbalism. And so traditional herbalism, it's very easy for a culture that is close to the environment and to nature to understand that this plant, stinging nettle, we can boil into a stew. It's harmful and it hurts if you touch it when it's uncooked, but if prepared right, it's edible and it's very nutritious and it's a nice soup. And then on the other level, we have aconite, one of the most dangerous toxic plants on earth when unprocessed, the Romans used to poison tip their arrows to kill each other and wolves, I think they call it wolf spain. I think that was what the ancient name was for aconite. But on top of that, in China, aconite was one of the king medicinal and still is, it is an essential medicinal for many different uses. But the point is unprepared, you die, prepare very medicinal in between is what many herbs are. So herbs like ginger are both food and medical grade. You can cook with it every day and it won't harm you.  But I think the point being traditional culture is because food was often herbs and herbs can be both food grade. You put it in a stew or medical grade. You take it to stop the fever that may kill the child. Ancient people had a much more intimate understanding and connection with food as medicine or food as just food. Now a squeeze of lemon in the morning definitely falls into the category of food grade medicine and it's unlikely to have a significant impact on your health any more than a bowl of oatmeal well in the morning. Now a bowl of oatmeal in the morning may help you a lot. It may mean a great bowel movement the next day. It may mean your stomach's not upset. It may mean something else. But the point being food grade medicine versus medical grade medicine and in that the dose makes the poison. Is it good for you? Sure, it's probably good and a nice flavor for the water. Is it going to have a significant effect on your health? I do not think so. So this idea of the dose makes the poison credited to paracelsus was really an observation that it's not a one-to-one, it's not such a linear correlation. But even benign and common things in our environment, oxygen and water, for example, can kill you if they're the wrong dosage. And this is obviously true with herbs and medicines and food, for example. I mean, I think frankly the thing that kills the most humans in America these days is food, right? Diabetes, heart disease, the metabolically related cancers, food is probably the major killer of human beings today. And obviously food can be both healthy and unhealthy. But for people that are putting lemon in their water for a, I don't know what people say, liver detox, gallbladder flush, digestive health, I don't think it's going to have a significant impact. And even clinically when I treat those things, we are giving much, much stronger formulas to deal with, for example, gallstones, gallbladder attacks, gallbladder sludge, acid reflux, indigestion, SIBO, all these kinds of deeper, more severe gut problems are unlikely to be even touched by lemon water. So I thought I would share this because a lot of people seem to follow wellness influencers and they shoot this video on the lemon water in the morning or the new agey person and they think it's going to really fix the problem. And it very likely will not. And in that case, you need to do something that's more medical grade. So I thought I would take a second to talk about this trend because it seems to be very common. I don't think, frankly, besides it tasting good, it's going to have a large therapeutic value for people. But in the context of food as medicine, food as food grade medicine, I think it can be very helpful for some people. But that is all I have for today. A little bit of a fiery rant as per the usual. And otherwise, before you go, check out these two other related videos for you right there.


This is Think Tech Hawaii, Community Matters here. Good day everyone and welcome to Think Tech Hawaii and the program that you're watching is Human Humane Architecture. I am DeSoto Brown, the co-host of this program and I am the Archivist at Bishop Museum. And joining us via audio from Germany where he currently is is the host of this program who is Martin de Spain. Good day to you, Martin. It's morning for you, it's afternoon for us here. Hello DeSoto and hello listeners. Hello everyone. And viewers. Happy viewers, happy listeners. And today we're talking about a place in Waikiki which is called the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center and should we go to our first picture, do you think? We should do because that's our little tradition where we see our very stylishly zeitgeist, the eyewitnessing DeSoto looking at the construction site, right? That's right, this is 1978. The Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center is under construction. I am showing my displeasure on my face because of the noise and the dust. And I do want to say too that just about a year after this picture was taken when the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center was partly constructed there was a sniper one afternoon who shot people on Kalakaua Avenue right in front of where I'm standing in this picture and he wounded five people but fortunately did not kill anyone. But that's not we're going to get into. We're going to talk about the architecture of the Royal Hawaiian Center and let's go to our next picture. Yeah and that gets put like 23 years prior to that construction, right? That's how it looked before. Correct. This is about 1955 and this is Kalakaua Avenue, the sidewalk and to the left in this picture is the site of what became the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center and originally this was all the gardens and the grounds of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel and you can see the Royal Hawaiian in the lower left corner of this slide that we're showing right now. And when that was constructed in 1927 it was built as the most luxurious hotel in the Hawaiian Islands surrounded by beautiful gardens and that's what you can see right here because those gardens continued up until 1960 from 1950 to 1960 part of those gardens were replaced and if we go to our next picture we will see And to me from half around the world that looks very exonically, jungly, you know, paradisiacal. Yes, that's right, that's right. And we can see in the next picture which is from 1963 that those gardens at least along the street have been replaced by a series of four commercial buildings. Now the jungle isn't there anymore but there's still a lot of palm trees and it is however a different feeling because it's now a retail district it's now a strip of retail stores and if we go to our next picture this is the same sort of strip in 1965 and this is the first building that was built along that stretch of Kalakaua that was the oldest building was the Royal Block and it was a series of retail spaces then it was followed by the McInerney department store the Royal Hawaiian arcade and the Snackshop restaurant and they were all there until 1978 in our next picture and that's when... And you see the construction site in the background and you told me that the building would look in front of us as an Osipoff building or was an Osipoff building, right? It's the only remnant of the McInerney store which they used as their construction office during the construction of the initial part of the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center and then they eventually destroyed that as well for the entire shopping complex that we're talking about today and next, here's another picture from 1978 and again that construction is starting but on the left is one of the remaining buildings that I was just talking about that's the Royal Hawaiian Arcade which was a wooden building and it was demolished last as they gradually worked their way from Lewar Street in the Diamond Ed direction to construct the entire Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center and the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center in our next slide is in a style that's called Brutalism and Martin, tell us about Brutalism. Well, we choose to pull from Wikipedia here which is like the explanation for the people here and it talks about Brutalism, not what it sounds like being brutal that's how it was perceived later on we're going to get to that when people dismiss the style originally it comes from the French term for raw concrete the Tongue Bru and Le Corbusier is one of the most important architects of the 20th century was heavily getting into that one as well and this is a building here in the United States the New York Buffalo City Court Building which shows in its very extreme that these buildings were intentionally very, very hermetic they were very, very windowless and they mostly sort of turned their open face to the inside and so it was a style that was very, very much of its time before that as you just pointed out with the pictures from the 50s and the 60s on Carcow Avenue everything was very lean and streamlined and open and modern, high modern and in the 70s it turned to this sort of more ethereal very gravity-based, very grounded, very massive kind of architecture and if we go to the next picture this is surprise, surprise this is how the architect in that era sort of themed as one would call it today the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center as I subtitled this as the rocks in the jungle this looks like a natural formation out of minerals basically aligned with this lush tropical vegetation and one of the things that I hope people could see in one of the previous pictures is that the Royal Block initially was extremely open as a modern building every one of those retail spaces was entirely fronted by glass and once the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center was built it went in an entirely other direction to be a windowless pretty much facade of rock concrete and there's the most famous however if we go to the next picture if you look up closer there were certain glimpses sort of certain views, framed views that gave you an indication of inhabitation and you pointed out for example these kind of very 70-ish external elevators they have these light bulbs at the top and at the bottom and you can see that cabin moving up and down but to the right and to the left you see this very intentionally very hermetic very closed concrete surface and the next picture gets us an up-close view that you kindly provided again from taking us back into the times that actually the ground floor indeed was open it was almost like a sculptor took a shizzling tool and carved out that monolithic block and cut these openings in and these openings were pushed back so they were in the shade and they were shaded and they kept cool because we always look at architecture not just in its surface but it's its substance so you might say maybe that you get a first idea that this approach of architecture was certainly new and maybe far into the island might have not been that inappropriate climatically thinking maybe this was an approach worth taking and I can also say too that you didn't really see those frontages of those businesses unless you were right up close to them and one of the problems was because there was no signage the windows were so hidden that if you look on the left side of this picture there's a banner that's hanging up that says Suzanne at the Royal that's because some of the businesses eventually started putting out banners to show that they were actually located there so the people would see them from across the street and speaking of hidden treasure is what you just said if you go to the next picture we can see another feature of the building that you got a glimpse from the outside and these are these four beams that you can see implied on the roof there and these beams if we go to the next picture this is when you kindly did your photo documentation a couple of weeks ago this is the picture you took and that is a tree that was already growing on the property and before the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center was built the outdoor circle said that they wanted the developer to save this exceptional tree because it's one of the very few of this tree that are growing in the Hawaiian Islands and so they kept it, it has thrived it has grown up through those open rafters that we were just discussing so it's part of the building in a way that goes up through as you were saying last night what could be sort of the ceiling the rafters or the beams there suggest a ceiling but in fact it's the sky and the tree has grown up through them and the next picture gives us a zoom a close up of the texture of the concrete and this is how these beams look like and this is how the entire structure looked like and this is also very typical for brutalism that from a distance it looked very sort of opaque and flush but when you got closer at least some or significant number of these buildings were treated very delicately by something that you call a bush hammering method and whereas it looks like this has been manually carved with a tube and almost like the Egyptians or the Essex in fact we're talking 1970s and 80s highly industrialized building technology this was done with a hydraulic tool that was sort of shizzling that out of concrete but nevertheless it was quite an effort and what it did as you can see it brought out the aggregates and the aggregates are dark so this is basalt so this is local petrified stone you can say that was man-made, right? Yeah and this is also as you just said this is very typical of brutalism the textured concrete and also the chipped concrete that you were just describing is something that you very frequently see in brutalism so it looks like it's a smooth surface from a distance but it's actually textured and there's a lot of hand work that goes into that to make it look like that If we go to the next picture and we step back again and look more at the spatial quality of the mall and it's actually not even called the mall the original name and still to these days is Royal Hawaiian Center so the center sort of implies maybe also some social quality and in fact if you look at the clever organization so the main circulation is partly covered every storefront has an overhang that we already know from the Ward Center that we did a show which is also as we classified it as an exotic brutalist structure so same performance and same features but in addition to that the other half at least or sometimes more is open to the elements basically ends with the courtyard but the threshold between the hallway and the courtyard is naturally the guardrail so you don't fall off the edge but different than in the Alamoana Mall which we have done the last show about that had some very tragic press recently because some of these guardrails failed and casualties, fatal casualties here the guardrails are way more cleverly designed and in fact it's a trough, it's a planter out of which this very sort of filigree steel guardrail seems to grow out of and then it's tilted inwards which is really about the safest way you can design a guardrail in the public space because people try to climb over it and they fall on their back so this is a very very sophisticated solution for myself being a practicing architect if you want to try this with any kind of climb especially profit driven developers good luck because this is really high standard and this is really nicely designed, neatly done Yeah and you know what else we've talked about too we say that the Royal Hawaiian Center has a very blank featureless facade that it pretends to the outside world and yet it turns inward and the vitality is where you're expected to go that's where they want you to go rather than just walk along and look from the street they want you to come inside and experience what we're seeing in these pictures right here Exactly and that today is not the case anymore and now we're going to look a little closer, why not and the next picture just shows us how it looks today Correct and maybe we jump over that picture because people probably know it and if not they can go there and more importantly is the next picture that we sort of collaged as sort of a way to try to understand so if you go back to the time and you see which you know which president ran the United States at that time when the shopping center was built it was Jimmy Carter and you know Carter with all respect and he gets a lot more rehabilitation now these days than during his presidency it was really about substance and ethics and reality and then you know ever since Ronald Reagan took over it shifted from substance to surface and that's what the center is representing at the very picture at the bottom right is that each storefront was sort of like throwing its makeup on and trying to make a big show so it was more about extroverted than introverted right and all of those things as you said just now makeup those are facades that have been put onto that original concrete exterior so they're not really intrinsically part of the building they are extraneous you also had pointed out that they are like cheesecake meaning a reference to the Cheesecake Factory restaurant so it's been adorned it's been decorated it's had extraneous things put on it that weren't originally there and that was to modernize it to make it more appealing and also things go out of fashion and brutalism is not particularly in fashion and so we've got these extraneous exteriors now yeah and if we go to the next slide the owner reveals what you just said almost like sitting on the red couch and telling the psychotherapist what the problem is and here the client shares the owner shares his paranoia his phobia about brutalism I mean they respectfully call it a minimalist style but then they very quickly get into their criticism and basically explain that it was anti-commercial what you explained is that there was a sort of hidden secret and you were supposed to go inside they were saying well that doesn't work people don't find us, people don't see us so that's why they started to I mean I call it cheesecake in it because one of the tenants is Cheesecake Factory and that is the most appalling piece I think so this disrespectfully just throws his stucco and plaster at that very refined and delicately crafted bush hammered surface and so that being said if we go to the next picture that illustrates that we've got a contrast here of the original raw concrete with some other elements that have been added since then to dress it up like it looked more sleek make it look more modernistic so there's the wood slatted roof the interior ceiling I should say and then these beams have been smoothed over with kind of a stucco plaster exterior put over them so that it's not so lumped it's not so much the raw concrete that it used to be but it's got these extra elements to make it smoother more appealing, more attractive more modern looking if you will mm-hmm and there was a very recent phase of remodeling that took like I think almost like over a year and if we go to the next slide we can see that so this is what they probably correctly call the Royal Grove because if you keep walking through you end up at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel so they sort of reactivated and reanimated that space which is probably to be complemented and applauded however again I want myself to quote again another phrase from their website where in the White Text they talk about the Grove and the connection and the connectivity but then the sentence concludes with this room that they're sort of introducing and then they basically say it's an air-conditioned space where visitors can see three films on Hawaiian culture and history and I think it's fair to say that we were both a little bit puzzled to say the least about that sort of combination that you want to show history you want to show legacy you want to show tradition but then again what does air conditioning have to do with Hawaiian tradition little to nothing and we both have been there and we've been critical about other developments actually pretty much across the street a little further a diamond head side which is the international marketplace which we were seeing astroturf and I'm not mistaken we see the astroturf here and we also see the astroturf in the extension of the Alamoana model that we talked about last week so astroturf seems to be the thing which both of us are a little bit irritated about because that's petroleum based plastic that just like air conditioning has very little to do with Hawaiian tradition and culture and the term I used last night was to illusionize this area to make it look I mean it is very appealing it is very attractive but at the same time it is creating some illusions because it's not 100% natural even though you are under a gigantic banyantry surrounded by palms there are still there are elements of petroleum based products in there and we can't get away from that the term illusionized ever since you said that last night that's one of my new favorite terms I will adopt that alright good and if we go to the next slide it reminded me of a project we've been doing some now 20 years ago we directed a show about it a while ago in the old Urban Transcendent Show days at the very bottom right so people can look at that and it's a kindergarten and we took the same approach of basically making the facade a non-facade like more a retaining wall and cut very few strategically placed openings which you can see behind that woman who was walking out of the kindergarten but then there is one major larger opening which is basically the entrance to the kindergarten that leads to a courtyard and then the picture on the left is pretty much the circulation so very similar to the Royal Hawaiian where basically the aha effect is on the inside whereas the outside is strategically and intentionally more austere and one thing that the director in the show says is that the parents come and they're excited to bring their kid to that new kindergarten and then they're very surprised that this is almost two decades old so but the main thing I want to point out is when we talk about natural environment and typology we both projects strategically introduce the courtyard as a theme for wave finding and procession through space but as well as a climatic control device as a natural climatic control device because the Mediterranean culture of the ancient times as the Greek and the Romans that was their air conditioning their natural air conditioning was the courtyard so the Royal Hawaiian center using that typology of courtyards is in fact a principally very appropriate way of climate control because that whole thing doesn't have big glass fronts and it has large overhangs and it has these courtyards with lush vegetation and we got evaporative cooling so the whole thing is pretty green and literally and figuratively speaking right yes and you're keeping out a lot of heat through the various exteriors I mean we had a discussion last night does concrete retain heat or is it an insulation from heat and that engineer to be able to tell you but I would say that a thick concrete wall is going to take a long time to heat up to the point where it's going to be heating the interior and I would say that a thick concrete exterior is going to be something that's going to keep the inside cooler and that's the way the Royal Hawaiian shopping center looks absolutely and you know going to towards the end of the show if we go to the next picture we want to point out that there is some renaissance for brutalism there is an awareness this is a website called city lap and it's the case for you know making a case for brutalism again this is one of the most you know known brutalist buildings in Boston and at the very bottom right is a picture I took when I was there and I think you also quoted the term heroic right the term heroic is often used in association with the brutalist style yes so if we go the next picture this is actually a picture you took just couple weeks ago which shows actually a corner the situation where little has been altered this is pretty much still the original you can you can see this sort of strategy of creating the solid that you basically carve out avoiding the solid is you can call this architectural strategy and the next picture is us also many years ago with one of our first projects here which are these train stations and they have a similar approach as well they are rather close from the outside to give you protection and shelter from the traffic but on the platform they open up and they're carved out for different functions so also the materiality is by the way basalt so lava but not Hawaiian that would have been too far to ship it from but we have some volcanic areas in Germany so this is from the Eiffel so this is Eiffel basalt and little did I know that I would ever end up in Hawaii and you did some pretty interesting research because first of all and we can also say already that we get so excited about exotic brutalism that we can't get it out of our mind so that would lead to our next show entirely dedicated to that subject but you already went ahead to think about that maybe there are some traces of indigenous nature on the Hawaiian islands about using building materials more stereotypically more massively more monolithically rather than skeletally and tectonically and that is the next picture what is that project? well this is a Heiao which is located on the island of Molokai this is a photograph from 1909 and if you see the man at the bottom of this huge wall you can see the size of it now this is a religious structure this is not something where people lived but it does have a monolithic quality even though it's made up of a lot of individual rocks which are clearly visible and yet the size and the scope and the mass of this thing is really not that dissimilar from the ideals of brutalism so while it is kind of a stretch to say this is brutalism hundreds of years ago it's not that far off because we are in fact using the same types of materials basalt and we are massing it in the same way to give a similar type of feeling of solidity heroicness not unlike brutalism does perfect and to go to the next picture we can even, you might even go that far to call it timeless because this could be in Hawaii right we can see some volcanic mountains in the back we see some palm trees and we see sort of brutalist architecture Bush hammered if you look at the detail this looks like Ward Plaza this looks like the interior courtyard of our today's project the Royal Hawaiian Center but it is actually on another volcanic island, the island of Tenerife which belongs to the Canary Islands and it's by local architects but it's a contemporary project that has just been built and that shows the re-appreciation of the younger generation of architects for that style that had been very very dismissed over the years however also we want to sort of cheerlead a little further there's also projects from the past that haven't been that dismissed and the next picture shows the picture on the right is a detail very famous detail of the Alcadara center in San Francisco where he's these ferns in the middle of this sort of liquid stone how Frank Lloyd Wright called concrete this is a brutalist structure very heavy very massive spending over several blocks but yet softened to vegetation and that is what we see on the left right the cover of the brochure from which era this is from 1997 it was a sculpture and a fountain which have been removed by now but you can see in the background is the original concrete structure of the Royal Hawaiian center and then as we were pointing out the addition of flora the addition of growing plants into the concrete setting and this is something that brutalism often did to have planter boxes which were kind of confining the flora and they're confining the growth of the plants to one degree and the plants are still growing in the way that they want to in a totally natural style so you've got the juxtaposition of the built concrete environment softened by and contrasted to the addition of living plants absolutely and coming to the end of the show the last picture we've been using cars as vehicles for reflection for a while and the top row of images are some that I took to the left is in Dresden in the 1950's Mercedes SL that I think it's fair to say it got pimped over the years and the second picture from the left at the top is the brochure of my friend Stefan who has relatives who restore vintage cars back to their original status so looking at the Royal Hawaiian center it reminds me of my car that I had when I came to the United States in 1972 Plymouth Fury which you see single at the third from the left on the top row 72 Plymouth Fury I bought it for $600 and just for the fun I was just googling how much would it be worth today and believe it or not the very right picture at the top row there's one for sale in Hawaii so guys go and get it it's only $12,500 this is like a 2,000% increase of value so a very provocative and polemic provocation might be hey guys strip all that bullshit off the facade and bring it back to its original which all things considered we said is actually pretty cool right and there is as we said the re-appreciation for brutalism that ends us to the end of the program everybody and thanks for watching thanks for listening we will be back very soon back with a different schedule when Martin returns from Germany and this has been Human Humane Architecture on Think Tech Hawaii and we will see you in our next episode

What is your love language? Relationship counselor Gary Chapman, author of 5 Love Languages, concluded after 35 years of marriage counseling that there are essentially 5 emotional love languages in which people can speak, show, and understand love. People in relationships often have different love languages, which is why as couples progress over time, they may run into conflicts when they feel misunderstood, neglected, or smothered. Different thoughts people may have when their love languages clash are, I wish he could love me the way I do, and if only she could give me more space. Does this sound familiar to you? Understanding how the two of you communicate love is important in order to grow together in your relationship. Here are Chapman's 5 types of love languages. 1. Words of Affirmation This type of love language involves the use of words to show that you love someone. Someone who prefers this love language would rather hear you say I love you and other compliments. They value uplifting words that demonstrate you are supportive and considerate of them. Harsh, negative, and insulting comments should be avoided because they cut deeply and aren't easily forgotten or forgiven. 2. Quality Time This love language involves giving your partner your undivided attention. Unlike using words of affirmation, someone with this love language would appreciate it more if their partner spends time with them. It's normal for schedules to fill up as you get older with more responsibilities on your plate, but it's important that you make time in between to be with your lover. Distractions, postpone dates, or failing to listen attentively can all make these individuals feel hurt and disappointed. 3. Receiving Gifts Someone with this love language prefers receiving gifts to feel loved. This doesn't necessarily mean that the person is materialistic. They most likely find it meaningful or thoughtful when they know you've stumbled upon something that reminded you of them. It makes them feel appreciated when you take the time to find something right just for them. It's not about how expensive the gift is or whether it's a designer brand. Instead, the individual cares more about how much you know them. 4. Acts of Service Have you ever heard of the saying, actions speak louder than words? For people with this love language, this particular quote fits them perfectly. These individuals prefer their partners to help them out when things get complicated in life. Lending a helping hand is the best way to win their heart. It is best advised not to make broken promises, show laziness, or have a poor work ethic. People with this love language often appreciate the favors you do for them and value any hard work you do that shows you were thinking about them. 5. Physical Touch This love language involves everyday physical connections such as handholding, hugging, cuddling, kissing, and any other type of reaffirming physical contact. People who identify with this love language prefer affectionate touches over kind words and compliments. This doesn't necessarily mean they are aggressive about public displays of affection, but being touchy-feely with them does make these individuals feel loved and appreciated.

Hello everyone this is financial author Amit Dan of amitdan.com on this channel You'll find financial travel and more videos just like the one you're watching right now If you like what you see, please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing Hello everyone, this is Amit Dan of amitdan.com today I'll have another episode of unboxing and brief review video and I'll be presenting Harry's razor our shape program be comparing Harry's razor which is right here with the chic hydrofib disposable razors This one has actually five blades, and I believe Harry's razor has five blades as well So this is going to be so this product is very similar to this product And I'll go over the shaving plan and how does the price is compared with the chic hydrofib? So let's start with the shaving plan This is this package is part of the shaving plan and the way Harry's shaving plan works that You have to you can start a trial for free. You don't have to pay anything except the shipping So let's say if you want to start the trial for free then it will be Zero cost for the product and then you'll have you'll get a razor with a blade and Shaving foam gel and a travel blade cover and Then let's go to the next step so you can choose your blade plan whether it's a Eight blades or you can get a blade and one gel and If you have a family plan, so that's even higher So once you choose your blade plan, then let's click on the next step And then you have to choose how often you shave. So let's say if we are shaving a two to four days or five to seven days per week Then we'll go to check out and then here you can see that Because I'm from Canada is charging a six dollars shipping charge To ship in Canada, but in the US. This is lesser or it could be free and And the option you have that it will keep shipping you your what you chose before On a certain Date or in between a few months for example in this plan is going to keep sending you The package every two months. So You have the option to cancel it before they actually ships it to you here. You can see that They'll send a reminder email before each shipment. So you have enough time to modify or cancel your plan so what I did I took the package which is right here and then I just cancelled it before the next shipment so in that way I can test it out and Try it whether I like this product or not and I can decide for later and then slightly later. I'll go over the Prices for the Harry's razor blade and the sheik, but let me just open the unboxing first and I would like to mention that this is not a paid or affiliated review everything I paid with my own money and this is totally unbiased and honest review so we'll start with the Unboxing and then then let's see what we have here Okay, so I opened it this way And then there's another package inside it Packaging so everything you need for a smooth shave and here is how It looks like and they have another description of how the thing works. So first off congratulations They start using the supplies in this bag and based on the Preferences you set will send in your supplies shape enjoy and repeat. Okay, we're just basically telling the same thing I just told you so I will start opening the box package here. I think I'll be needing a Let me see if I can open this up without a scissor. Yes We'll take out one by one the content inside Okay, so that's all we have here The package is empty now. So just put it in here Okay, and so here is the travel blade cover and you have to just Put your razor inside it so it doesn't damage any clothes or anything and then here is we have a forming shape gel Which you get get it for free This cost I believe four dollars or six dollars if you bite from bite separately. So this comes for free Here is the razor box It's a paper packaging. So the whole thing is made of paper and we'll just Open it up Actually, let me just take a look here. What do we have here? So it says that just inside lies a fine razor handle with a blade Okay, so Much okay, so we took it out and Here is the razor. So this is the Harry's razor and let's take it out here So here's how it looks like so if you remove it here and This is the blue color and Let me see how many blades are in here. So Okay, so it looks like five blade Just like the chic hydro five I have here and there's actually side blade on here Right here.  That's right here and this is the Razor, okay, so put it here packaging is very unique and I'll make a paper and it looks very Eye-catching so put it here for now. And so right now I'm going to just do a price comparison between chic hydro five and the Harry's razor cartridge because they these two are very identical and that's what I'm going to compare today how Good shave these give so I'll shave one side of my face right side with the Harry's razor And the left side of the chic but before I do that, let's check some, you know pricing of these products you want to buy blade or cartridges from Harry's then If you buy eight so Sorry, if you buy four it's going to be two dollars each which is US dollars And if you choose eight then you're paying sixteen dollars, which is against same two dollars per cartridge and if you buy Sixteen then the price comes down to one dollars and seventy five cents per cartridge So it's like, you know one dollar seventy five cents. US. It's approximately lower it's slightly lower than two dollars Canadian per cartridge And then keep in mind that you have to pay shipping for Canada, which is I believe six dollars each time So if you are buying something from Harry's it's Best to buy a lot of things together So that way you're paying only six dollars shipping instead of like, you know buying a little things every time I'm paying shipping six dollars each time. So price-wise each cartridge can be Roughly Two dollars or less Canadians once you do the conversion and now I'm going to show you how much the chic height of five Cost online. So let's take a look here. Okay, so just give me one second and I'll show that to you. Okay. So here if you buy it from amazon canada then you can get for Ten dollars and ninety-eight cents and the shipping is going to be free if you're a prime member I did for three for ten dollars and ninety-eight cents and each one each blade will be three dollars sixty six cents which is A lot Expensive or higher than the Harry's but now let's check at another store. So what I'll do I'll go to online To see how much This is at other online retailers right here Hyder chic five razor blade refills, which is Ten ninety-eight. However, this is not the This is not the Individual disposable Blades, this is just each one you put it like something like in here for chic But if you're going this one what I have here Which is disposable then is going to cost you fourteen dollars fifty-eight cents per Per five blade reserve. So If you compare the price then it looks like that with amazon then you can get it for approximately Uh three two four dollars canadian each or it could even get it for lesser if you are Waiting for sale. So in terms of Pricing the harris is going to be cheaper Even with the shipping if you are buying A lot of a stop at the same time But if you are buying chic hydro five Then you are looking to pay I would say approximately Three dollars or three fifty in that range. So definitely this is going to be more expensive Than the hydro five, but now We'll Go to the shaving and we'll see how does it compare or how does the both compare? So one side I'll share with this other side I'll share with this Hello everyone So I just finished setting up everything. I'm going to put this camera back on a little bit higher space So that way you can see My face and while I shape both sides of my face And then We'll do the comparison and I'll talk about more. So I'm just going to put this camera right now at a different Place I think we can still see me fairly good. So what I'll do I'll put some Chic Shape foam On my face. So I'll take it from here The problem with this when you Press the top or squeeze it it you know dispenses a lot of Shaving gel that you don't need that much. So you have to be very careful when you press this thing The smell is very Nice smell. I don't know what type of smell you call it, but I like the smell and It easily rathers up Lathers up a lot So as you can see that It's working fairly well And my whole face is covered Okay, sometime I'm gonna have to take my eyes of the camera to look in the mirror So apple adjust for that. Just to let you know that the reason I'm not looking in the Camera because I'm looking on the mirror, which is right here Okay And I have another mirror right here Okay, so I'll wash my hands and take the razor and start shaving The first shave I'll do it's gonna be on my left side and I'll use the hydra Five for that.  Okay, so I'm gonna look in this mirror right now and let's shave this side The shape actually is a very good razor. I've been using it for long time and There are lots of a chic line of products out there But this is my choice, which is the hydra five. I usually use this On a regular basis. So as you can see this side is finished So I'll just put my hydra five chic aside and take the harry's razor and do the other side Okay, so here you go. I washed it and I'll put it away and now Let's take the new Harry's razor and we'll start with this one I have a feeling that harry's is giving me a closer shave than Chic five, but let me just finish the whole thing. Then I'll You know, I'll be able to tell you more about that I'll see if I can use this like, you know the that one blade on the edge Usually I never use that because chic doesn't have that but I'll see what is this all about Okay, this actually can work. So let's say they're hard to reach places and you can just do that using the top of the Edge there's only one blade there. So it looks like this is not a bad idea Now let me finish the other part So I finished the right side of my face with the harry's razor So I washed it up and I'll put it back in the in its cover Okay, so I don't know how much the camera can catch but Let me just try to fill fill my face The two the chic hydra five and harry's they're giving very similar shape Uh, it's really hard to make our differentiate between these two But I'm gonna have to say the chic hydra five gives you smoother shape the harry Gives you a good shape too, but it feels a little bit rough on face But harry, uh, sorry the chic hydra five feels a smoother And let me just take a look here Okay They're very similar I would say they're very close, but you know, if you're looking for a smoothness Then I would go with the chic hydra five And while I'm shaving with the chic hydra five, uh, it feels very smooth glides very easily on face But when I'm shaving with harry Although it's giving me a close and good shape But it feels slightly rough on face. So I have that feeling that you know, it's gonna cut my face But with the chic hydra five, I don't have that feeling So I'm more comfortable with chic hydra five Harries is okay too, but I don't know It just gives me that feeling that you know, it's gonna cut my face and I have to be a little bit careful It could be Due to the fact that I've been using chic hydra five in for long and I have had it in the past and with harry's I don't have any experience, but In terms of the pricing and everything Definitely harry's is going to be a cheaper option Even with the shipping and after Paying the after doing the dollar conversion for canadian So unless you buy chic hydra five on sale, it comes on sale very often I picked up on amazon or other Drag stores When you know, they were on sale. So unless you pick up hydro five on sale Harries is going to be slightly cheaper than Chic hydra five even after the conversion and the shipping cost So in terms of making the decision if you have to make a decision That it's up to you. So if you like, you know use both And then if you think that harry is a little rough on face, uh, then I go with chic hydra five But if you want to save some money and if you don't get chic hydra five on sale Then definitely harry's is going to be a cheaper option My own opinion Is this going to make switch to harry's five? Although it's a little bit cheaper. I'm going to have to say no I'll still stick to chic hydra five and I'll try to what I do that whenever they are on sale I grab a lot to reduce my cost in the long term So I never pay a full price for chic hydra five. So for my case My chic hydra five cost is even lower than harry's although Because I only pick up on sale. So it's not going to make me switch to harry's I'm going to stay with my chic hydra five, but I'm going to have to say that this is a quality product The harry's This is a good product Lower cost only if they would waive the shipping cost for canada Then definitely I have a feeling that many people will switch to this Even with the dollar conversion. However, the six dollars per shipping is a burden And not many people want to go through this So that concludes my review and comparison of harry's and chic hydra five Thank you for watching.

Hello, and welcome to this video by filmsbychrist.com. That's Chris at the K. Today we're going to be looking at the timeout variable or the TM out variable for your shell. This is a variable that you can set and give it a number of seconds, and that will be how long until the shell times out after the last command was run. You can, this can be useful, especially if you're like a system admin, maybe you're at a screen and maybe you're doing stuff as root. And you want to make sure that you don't forget to close that shell so you can set the timeout and you can probably put this in your bash, or your zrc file for a z shell or whatever shell you're running. And that way if you don't run a command in a certain number of seconds, it will close out your shell. So that variable is called TM out, all capital, so TM out, and then you give it a number of seconds so I can say five. And now that I've done that, I've got a few shells here open just to show you. After five seconds, that shell will close. I can run that TM out and I can say five seconds. But if I was to run date, date, date, date, see I'm running commands, my shell is not going to time out. But as soon as I stopped running commands after five seconds, that shell should close. Great. Now, TM out equals, and we will say five seconds again, be aware that it is after the last command was run. So I could still be typing out a big long command, but after five seconds, this shell will close even though I was typing something. So it's running commands. So again, TM out, you can set something to like 60 seconds or if you want to do 10 minutes, you can do 600 seconds or you can do six seconds. And again, I can run date, run date. And that will start that timer over again, but after date, I should be able to go one, two, three, four, five, and six. There we go. So that is the time out variable for your shell. I've checked it in bash and in Z shell and it's set for both of those. It seems like it's a pretty standard thing. And again, it can be very useful if you just don't want to leave your shell open, especially if you're doing things as a root user and you might get distracted and walk away from the keyboard and then it's your root shell's open. And most modern systems now, if you use sudo, sudo will store your passwords for a set amount of time. So you might want to set your time out for less than that so that if you haven't typed a command in one minute, it will exit out, but also be careful. You don't want to exit out in the middle of you doing something. Anyway, this was a quick little video to show you the time out variable for your shell. I thank you for watching. And you should be able to, I haven't checked this, but since it's a variable, I should be able to say time out like this and I don't have it set, but if I set time out equal to five and then run that. So if you're curious of what your time out is, that is how you would check that. So that is all, just close my shell. Thank you for watching. Visit filmsbychrist.com, that's Chris the K. This has been fun. Have a great day.
