Hey, what's going on guys Gator here? So one of the most common questions we get recently is What are all those dots on the top of the canopy? So we're gonna climb up in the jet I'm gonna show you how our helmet mounting cuing system works So as you can see right here, this is our standard flight helmet with the mask on it our scorpion helmet mounting cuing system Just attaches to the front of our helmet So it's a modular piece of equipment that I don't normally wear during the demo We just use it during tactical sorties how this system works is I have a monocle over my right eye In the airplane so as a pull-off protective cover there You can see you have a clear monocle right here that you look through with your right eye What that monocle can do can project it protects full-color symbology can project a lot of information That we're able to share between the airplanes digitally So for instance as an example if I were to look outside the look outside the canopy here And I've designated a certain point on the ground as a target Typically that'll show up in the jet as a red triangle So if I look out over the rail that point on the ground will literally have a red triangle over it in my right eye Also a really cool capability this is I'm able to slew my targeting pod with it So normally on the right wing out there on station 10 We'll have a lightning targeting pod hanging out there and I can cue that targeting pod simply based on my My line of sight with my eyes so I can look it I can look at a point on the ground I can hit one one switch on the stick here and it'll slew the targeting pod right to it So it allows us to quickly correlate targets and and be more efficient in the cast environment So the purpose of those stickers that are up there on the canopy those are called fiducials What they are is a it's a constellation of those stickers and what it uses is this camera system on the back of the helmet So now we're looking at the back of the helmet here. It has this camera that finds those stickers Again called fiducials and what it does is it orients my helmet To the jet so now the jet knows where I'm looking and it uses that camera system Basically to orient itself the old system. This is about a year old now The old system we had if you see that big block the big strip up there It used to be a magnetic tracking system. So there was a magnetic tracker In place of where this camera is and there was a little magnetic tracker on the canopy and that's how oriented But this new optical tracking systems a little smoother runs a little better and is a little more accurate So it's a great upgrade force Yeah, and so that's how our helmet mounting cuing system works attack


Hi everyone. Welcome to this discussion of communication channels as we continue to talk about media communication and modern communication communicating in our modern era. So communication channels have become even more expansive as our modern era of communication has evolved. And so we want to talk a little bit about how we most effectively use those. But let's start off with a discussion of what is a channel. First of all channel when we say the word channel we're talking about the medium or means through which communication takes place. A medium is just another word for channel. So we're talking about how that communication takes place. How are messages and feedback sent? How are things being communicated? So if we look at them in the context of the transactional model of communication, which you see here in front of you. So we see you have all the different elements. You have the communicators, communicator A, communicator B. So in this instance, we have two people. Then you have noise and you have feedback. You have messages being sent back and forth. But there in the midst of it all are the channels or channel or channels. It could be multiple channels. It could just be one. And the channel is how all of those things are taking place. So are you seeing somebody face to face? Are you talking on the phone?  Are you tapping through a wall using Morris code?  Those are all different types of channels. So the way that we communicate that how of which we communicate is called the channel. So with that in mind, we can get the different types of channels that we have. So first we start with verbal communication. And for our definition of verbal communication, we're going to be mostly talking about oral communication here, the way that we speak to other people using our voice and using languages, our voices. Okay, so we're not talking about we're differentiating verbal communication from sending a text message or writing things down or things like that. But so verbal communication is spoken communication, essentially. We also have been written communication, which we knows takes place in all kinds of different forms today. You can write things down. People still do that. We leave posted notes for your right letters and things. But we also email, we text, we send messages over social media that are that are in, you know, written form. So, and especially as we enter the working world, written communication becomes a very different thing. We need to be able to separate the personal written communication from professional written communication. That's something we're going to chat about here in a bit. But so we have verbal communication, which is just oral and spoken communication. And we have written communication, which is pretty self-explanatory. Then we have this other categories well of nonverbal communication, which is sort of everything else, verbal and written communication. We're really going to imply that both of those have to do with the words that we're using, the text, the language that we're using. Nonverbal communication then involves everything else. So nonverbal communication and different nonverbal channels could include body movement. And body movement is sort of a broad category that would include things like your facial displays, our facial expressions, our eye behavior, meaning are we looking at someone? Are we looking away from them? Are we, you know, how are we using our eye behaviors in that sense? Our posture and our gestures, that would all be a part of body movement or what we call kinesics, right? So that's one type of nonverbal channels, any way that we use our body. Also touch or haptics is another form of nonverbal communication. It's another channel for nonverbal communication that we use. Also voice, what we call para language. Now you may think, well, we just talked, you just said verbal as its own thing or whatever. Yeah, that's true. But again, we're talking there about the language that we're choosing and the method of communication there being oral or spoken communication. But the way that we use our voice, meaning our tone, our pitch, our volume, that's all nonverbal. And we can express a great deal through the tone of our voice and through the volume of our voice, right? But that's a specific nonverbal channel of communication as well. We also use space in different ways in terms of, you know, how closely we're standing to somebody that we have different, you know, we have our personal bubble, so to speak, which is only for, you know, people within that bubble ought to be people who are very close to us. And then we have, you know, different, different distances that we'd like to have people at when we're thinking about communicating nonverbally. If we don't know someone as well, we're likely to stand back a little further from them, both for our own sort of psychological comfort, I guess, but also as a sign of respect for them and for their comfort level. Anyway, we just use space different lens. That's a very highly cultural thing. It's dependent on culture, but we use space. All cultures do use space to communicate nonverbally. Time is a nonverbal communicator is a nonverbal channel as well. For example, in the workplace, your boss can keep you waiting for a meeting, right? But you can't do the opposite. And it's sort of a sign of who's got the power in that situation, but or, you know, how much we respect somebody else's time. And again, this is a highly cultural thing too, but, but we use time as a nonverbal communicator. Clothing certainly is a nonverbal communicator. The way we dress presents a particular style or particular interest that we have or, or a level of professionality, depending on our workspace or things. So clothing can be a tremendous nonverbal communicator and then smell. I mean, there's a reason that the perfume industry is such a massive industry, right? And not only that, but deodorant and things like that, we do a lot to control our smell and to present ourselves in a particular way. So that can be a real nonverbal indicator as well, the way that we smell and the way that we use smell to do that. So those are the different types of channels, verbal, written and nonverbal. Within each of those, though, we have all kinds of different, different ways to communicate different channels that we can use to communicate as well, right? And so it's important that we that we not only remember that we have all these different channels that we can use all these different, you know, ancient and modern technologies that we can use to communicate as well as our voice and just communicating that way through a nonverbal communication. But, but it's important, especially since we have so many tools, having all these tools doesn't do any good. If we can't remember to use the right tool for the job, if we're using the wrong tool for the job as a communicator, we're not being any more effective than this gentleman is trying to mow his lawn with the vacuum cleaner, right? So we need to use the right communication channel for that particular job. So with that in mind, let's think about a couple of characteristics that and considerations that relate to communication channels, the first of which is leanness, leanness. Communication channels exist sort of on a continuum in terms of being channel rich or channel lean, what we call channel rich or channel lean, meaning how many channels do you have access to and how rich are those channels in terms of the ability to gain understanding and context from the use of that channel. If there's a lot to be offered there, then we call that channel rich. And if there's not, then we call it channel lean. And every communication channel exists on this continuum, somewhere between highly channel rich and highly channel lean or somewhere in the middle. So for example, just to give you an idea, when we are face to face with somebody, that's incredibly channel rich. We have access to not only their words and their language that they're using and that they're choosing, excuse me, which is important, but we also have access to their facial expressions, their tone of voice, what they're wearing, where we're talking about it. Where do they choose to mention this? What's the environment that we're in when they choose to mention? So face to face offers all kinds of channels and it's very channel rich. Then somewhat more limited is a video call, for example. We can still see the person. We can hear their voice and hear their tone of voice. We can sort of see them and see kind of what they're wearing. But the truth is, you don't know apart from what you can see here, of me, for example, this is sort of, it's not a video call, but it's sort of a, you know, the same idea, but you can only see what I want you to see. Right? You can't necessarily see outside, first of all, the scope of my lens here, of my video lens. You can't see outside of the scope of that. You can't see below here.  I'm dressed to teach in this shirt, but you don't know outside of that, right? So there are things that I can control here. So it's not quite as channel rich. There's some things that are controllable and we can't get the full experience like we can in a face to face conversation, but still relatively channel rich, right? There's a lot to a lot that's offered in a video call or zoom call for work or whatever. But so it's relatively channel rich, but not as rich as face to face communication. Then we moving further down towards leanness, we're talking about just talking on the telephone, which you know, I understand people still do occasionally in this modern day, we still talk on the phone sometimes. And there it's, you know, it's more lean. We can't see the person, but we can hear their voice. We can see which words they're choosing the language that they're choosing, but we can't see them. Can't see their facial expressions. We can't see what they're wearing or necessarily what environments are in those types of contextual clues are missing. So it's more lean than some of the others that we've talked about. And then finally, when we talk about text and email, these are really fairly channel lean, because we're really relying mostly on just the text itself, just the words that are chosen. Now we find we have found ways over the years of trying to work around that and try and add some richness to these types of communication, right? Whether it's using all caps when you when you text or send an email or whatever to indicate that you're shouting or whatever, or we can use, you know, 100x exclamation points or whatever. But but we also have developed the text based used to be text based characters that we could use to express sort of nonverbal emotions. So we started with things like this, right? The smiley face, traditional smiley face, using the colon and the half of the parentheses there. So to indicate a smiley face, right, or you could do a frowny face, and we developed from there. And then eventually we got into emojis, right? Or this time it's probably called emoticons. But what we now know as emojis, and we had a few of these, and this is pretty spectacular, we could do that.  I will say my favorite one is the ice cream one, I just really enjoy ice cream. So I enjoy sending that one. But but still text and email despite all that still relatively channel lean, especially when you compare it to other types of communication channels, right? So text and email exists more on that lean. So we need to keep in mind that that while we're using these different channels, they have different elements of leanness, which can work to our advantage or can be a disadvantage. But we need to keep in mind that that they have this different element of leanness or richness, depending on how you look at it, that that exists in the type of communication channel that we choose. Another element that we need to consider is synchronicity. Synchronicity or asynchronicity. Synchronicity just means same time, that it's happening at the same time. If this were a live video call, or if we were face to face, that is synchronous communication, meaning it's happening in real time. Right at that moment, we can we can get their feedback, we can see their expressions or hear their responses and so forth right there in that moment. As opposed to asynchronous communication, which is what this is, I'm recording this at a particular time, you're watching it later, we're not live here. So you're watching this at a later time. And that's asynchronous communication, texting, emailing, leaving a voicemail, those types of things posting on social media generally are asynchronous communication, meaning they're not happening simultaneously, they're not happening in real time. Again, advantages and disadvantages, the advantages I can shoot a text off to my wife or a friend or kids or something and just leave it there for them. And I have to wonder, you know, worry about trying to catch up with them right in this very second, or worry about what they're doing, am I interrupting something, I can send them that message and it can just sit there until they're ready for the disadvantages. You know, if I'm in a hurry or something, that's a problem, right? I mean, that's an issue if I'm trying to get a response right now. So again, that's a consideration we need to keep in mind. Is this is something that needs to be handled right now? Is this something that can can just sit there until they're ready to respond or can I and can I wait that long? Those types of things we need to bear in mind that the channels have different levels of synchronicity as well. And then finally, permanence that that when we send a message electronically, for example, there's a sense of permanence there, you know, despite what some technologies may say is, you know, well, this will disappear forever in 10 seconds, well, won't necessarily, right? Even if they delete it or whatever, they're probably still going to have it on a server. And in that time, somebody could take a screenshot as we all know happens all the time. So there's a sense if you send it, then somebody else could potentially see it now or down the road or whatever. So if it's electronic involves some sort of technology, then there's a sense of permanence there, as opposed to when you speak to somebody, again, they might remember that. But unless they're recording it, there's no record of that permanently or whatever. But we need to keep that in mind. One recent example has been John Gruden was a football coach for the Las Vegas Raiders. Recently was fired because of some emails that he had sent 10 years ago when he was, you know, working as a broadcaster for ESPN. He sent some emails to a person that he knew an acquaintance of his that worked for a professional football team. That professional football team has since come under investigation and those emails were revealed as part of that investigation.  And within a couple of days, he was fired. Now that had nothing to do with this present job necessarily or anything, but some emails that he sent 10 years ago. And that doesn't excuse it when it doesn't excuse any of it, but I'm just saying those stuck around. He probably didn't think about those again or remember sending those at that time, but they stuck around. So there's a sense of permanence that's possible when you send something. One other example, just on a lighter note, this isn't just work related. You may have seen memes or something like this, or you may have even seen this particular meme. And I bring this one up because I know this person. I literally know this person in real life. I have for years, a former coworker of mine and friend of mine. And this is, I can tell you not what he really looks. I mean, this is him, but he's not, he doesn't dress like this. He doesn't have a mustache. He doesn't have a cat. He doesn't, you know, these were pictures that they took for fun to send Christmas cards to some of their friends one year. He posted this on Facebook and this was probably 12 years ago, 15 years ago at this point, but he posted it on Facebook. Somebody snagged it off there and it became an internet meme. And every year we'll see it float around around Christmas time in particular. We'll see this meme float around and say, there he is. And, you know, so we know this person, but he didn't anticipate that this would be something that would be out there forever, but it has been so far. You know, there's just the permanence. When you put something out there electronically, there's the potential that it could stay there forever. Now that can be of huge assistance. If you need to have a trail of what's sent, you want to keep a record of, you know, when you sent something and that you sent something and, or that somebody sent something to you, that's great. You have this, this permanence there that you can keep a record of that, but we need to keep that in mind as well on the other side, that what we put out electronically, either through email or text or on the internet or whatever could potentially stay there forever. So be sure that it's something you're comfortable having out there forever. So in the end, again, it really comes down to using the right tool for the job. You don't want to use the wrong tool for the job. We've got a multitude of communication channels that we can use, a multitude of ways that we can communicate with others. So we want to make sure that we're choosing the right tool, the appropriate tool for that job, which is not this one. So when we're thinking about communication channels, be sure that we choose wisely. You're going to have to choose. We have to choose how we're going to communicate something. So you must choose, but choose wisely. If you have questions about communication channels or about anything else related to media communication, please feel free to email me. Love to hear from me. Love to answer any questions that I can through that avenue, through that channel. So feel free to email me at any time. In the meantime, think about the way that you're communicating. Think about the advantages, disadvantages and characteristics and considerations of all these different wonderful communication channels that we have in the modern age. And be sure that you are choosing wisely for your purpose.


All right lady. What is this? Hey everybody? Welcome back. Well, we're back. We had a couple people running show and tell for a few weeks Thank you to Liz JP knowing Pedro who are amazing hosts. I'm sure I'm gonna shift over here a little bit It's me Lady Aida with me. Mr. Lady Aida were broadcasting live from the Eight of Foot headquarters in downtown Manhattan And for the next 25 minutes or so we're gonna check in with people from around the community Eight of Foot folks people building stuff 3d printing sewing crafting hacking. What have you it's too hot outdoors Just stay inside and maybe make something cool.  We're gonna kick it off with Jeff from Jepler from Sorry, who's Jeff Jepler? Remember me I used to work with you guys like back in April. Yeah, I'm back now Yeah, so I've been playing with QMK Because recently they merged support for whoops for the RP2040 and they have a poor quest to add the macro pad So when you load this code on you get a LCD volume knob Like a 10 key keypad. So that's really cool. And we're keeping kind of an eye on that to See what else we can do with RP2040 and QMK. Thanks to the efforts of that cool community Yes, it's awesome QMK is like the premier way that people make keyboards It uses like I think embed or like free our toss or something. It's like a very powerful Yeah, and they've got a lot of great documentation But I think what we can do is stuff focused on the new RP2040 and KB2040 That's gonna really show how to use our stuff Okay, which is gonna be cool. Jeff, could you drop a link in the discord chat for folks to Find where that is if they want to try it out because a lot of the macro pads Yeah, I will drop a couple links in the discord and say a little bit more. Okay, cool Next up is gonna be JP because he has to bounce early not to be confused with Jay Epler. Hey, thank you for the quick I just ask that I could go soon appointment, all right, so What is this what's going on? So I've been doing a bunch of tape projects real tape projects previously now digital tape projects This one was inspired by a couple things one of them being my super awesome Sony field recorder this thing is a brick. This is what reporters and Documentarians and filmmakers used before digital a lot of the time. So this is non-working I have I have work to do ahead of me to get this thing working But it's a gorgeous piece of design and built like a tank So I wanted to sort of make a nod to that design and create this funky Virtual tape drone, so I'm gonna actually turn off my noise in the background here I want you to hear this well what I have right now are just two of these are working But these allow me to turn on a droning loop and then I can flip the other one on oh Yeah, since they're out of phase or out of tune slightly we get some really nice little beating Oscillations and things so right now these will just crash it if I try to try to use these other ones Loaded up for those You're so ready to apply to like a masters and fine arts program exactly. Yes Just wants to hear funky waves beating off each other, right? I'll get a whole park gallery for it So this will eventually have some visualizations with tape and other information about levels This right now sets the level of the first drone level rotary encoder here I can't open it up fully, but this is something I put together pretty quickly today the design And the thing I think I'm most excited about is I've been hanging on to this piece of mesh since I replaced the seat of an air-on chair a while ago And I finally found a good So I wanted to put a piece of fabric in front of the speaker and that was the perfect one I probably sit on that if I really see yeah, cool That's a good idea You know there's probably lots of little odds and ends of fabric or weird things That you can use and as long as it's mesh it can make a good speaker cover Right, just that's not just boring And it's why you should never clean your workshop and just always hoard stuff because I was they don't grab that I knew exactly where it was. I know I Agree, I don't I think never throw anything in the rest stuff because I needed that piece of needed it a fabric Yeah, so that's what I'm working on and then I've got a Slightly different project that's gonna be related coming up and this one's actually gonna get Reimagined for some other hardware. This is using some hardware. That's either unavailable anymore or we have some cooler stuff coming out So keep an eye on this one I might show it a little bit more tomorrow my show But this one will be coming back around in a few weeks when we get some exciting new hardware. Oh, there we go I made it reboot. Let's see cute little reboot and tomorrow is JP's workshop. So folks can tune in Come on by yeah four o'clock Eastern time one o'clock Pacific time Okay, all right. Thank you so much of you. Thanks everyone. All right next up is Scott Scott. What do you get going on? Hello So I've been working on the what I call the web workflow and the idea is that Circuit Python if it auto connects to Wi-Fi will also present a web server Which allows you to do file stuff, which I think I showed a couple weeks ago But the other main piece of a workflow for circuit Python is the serial side So being able to see like your debug output and interact with it. So what I've got here is a page that was a test page I have some refining to do but a test page for The serial connection that was served by the device that's here on my desk and I should be able to type hello in here and hit send and now I get the prompts back So I got the regular header So what it was waiting kind of like before the repel and so the H got Snagged to do to get into the repel so you can see here that the hope the LO is here And then this bit here is the status bar title stuff that we do So I'm gonna have to go into a bunch of clients of ours for the serial thing and make them ignore this but I Think for this client I may actually have it set the page title So you'll you'll be able to get the status In the in the tab bar Yeah, so this is serial over web sockets from Firefox Both directions Just got I I only got the sending the text working just now. So all right Where and when since this is circuit Python 8 alpha Where and when could folks maybe poke at this one day in the future so the file system stuff is already on The main branch so absolute newest builds will have it You have to set use the dot env file to auto connect your Wi-Fi and also set a password It's all password protected so that People who think it's fun to mess with other people will have a little bit of a hard time It's not like super secure or anything But it is just like you know security is all about like raising the bar high enough that the people that you're worried about Don't do it. Yeah, and so this is like raising the bar just one notch for for the The people that like the Greeks like a suitcase lock Not to poke a hole in your your firewall to expose us to the world a hundred percent Yeah, I mean this is like it's it's a Password they get sent over, you know and encrypted that sort of thing But yeah, so that's the file system stuff is an app in absolute newest And then this is coming the serial stuff will be coming once I get it kind of where I'm where I want it Which would hopefully be by the end of the week Maybe right on and folks have been testing it. There are bugs So after I get this out for pull requests, I'll be squashing some bugs Alright, thanks so much Scott. Thank you Scott Brent Brent what you get going on? Hi So this past week, this is not my work It's the work of Lauren who's on the whipper snapper and Adafruit IO team so Adafruit IO right is our service for making IOT really easy and Whipper snappers are service for making it so easy that you don't even know it's a program But people were having two issues one. They couldn't find the web page for whipper snapper Someone I was talking to today said that and then to it wasn't really obvious how to get your board loaded with the firmware so There's a blog post on Everything that we've done. There's a whole design refresh on Adafruit IO but specifically you've changed a header around and There's a new workflow so you can add a new device by clicking this button and then we list all of the boards And there's 18 different boards supported with whipper snapper Um, and you can other people add board support for their own boards or could you have to use Adafruit? You don't have to use Adafruit. Um, what what's that are not Adafruit? Not made by Adafruit are compatible just like circuit Python so But everything here right now is Adafruit because that's what I can work on for now but more than welcome we have a guide and everything and We have this new workflow and you can click your board and those show pictures of each step The download whipper snapper the gift to get into the bootloader Dragging and drop generating a secrets file Uploading into your board and connecting to our service So it's the easiest way to put your device on the internet and send data from your device I have one here. It's on my desk. It's been sending data to Adafruit IO And we even changed a lot of buttons around the LED button is totally changed It we made it easier to add components To your board and we also changed up a lot of other things available For better review in the blog post actions have been changed. You can start and stop them There's a new page. It makes it super easy and simple to create actions Flyouts have been removed the site feels much faster and it's good and we're just going to keep improving the surface Okay, looks awesome. I love a new treatment and it should be easier than ever We're still in beta, but we're getting these candidates getting there All right. Thanks so much Brent. Okay, Liz What you got going on this week? Hello, so I'm working on what's gonna be a food scale Eventually this container is gonna be on top. I'm gonna put cat food in it So the stand you can see I was like little spots for the little nubs around the bottom of it But it's using an NAU 72 98 I'm really bad remembering numbers But it's one of the stem of boredom shop and so on here. I've got some buttons They use the panel mount buttons so you can choose if you want to show ounces or in grams There's also gonna be you can zero it on the fly or do the full calibration because you want to use like a known weight On top so that you can get an offset value so that you're actually getting the ounces and grams when you're measuring with it and yeah, so this will be coming up and Then eventually it'll also be an IOT project. So folks can like log How fast your pet's food goes down over time? Okay, excellent. All right. Well, thank you so much Liz and Fun guides and more that you had this week will be shown some of them cool. Thanks. Yeah, okay. Okay next up knowing Pedro What you got going on? Hey, so we got this super cute companion robot that was shown in Obi-Wan Kenobi. So this is like a young princess Leia's little companion robot So we've got two little servos in here to get the wings going up and down. It's powered by the it's a bit Rp2040 and we got a two little LED's and then we have a jewel and a single pick single PCB a button Neopixels inside there and everything's contained inside the bottom body So there's three little mounts and then on the bottom because I don't know why they didn't has brought it and think of this having it Attached to your like your shoulder since like everybody at Disney has like these little shoulder mounts on there When I head and took this guy over there to get some hero shots and oh my god I didn't think people would recognize who it is the security guard all the cast members everybody was crying around. Oh my god So it was definitely cool and inspiring right to tell like the kids who are saying oh, where do you get that? It's like dude you have to print your own You got to build it exactly so I think the one that Disney's releasing comes out like in August so we definitely pick them to the punch for that and Have a build a droid thing instead of build a bear at this point, right? Do but you do yeah. Yeah, they have like a whole it's for the R2-D2 style. It's R2-D2 the BB And can you build a droid can you actually yeah, you can yeah, they have all these cool like screws Okay, never mind Yeah, I saw you on that but all right. Yeah, it was really cool Everybody who came up to me, you know asking was of course they were cosplayers or we're into this sort of scenes We're able to you know force hockey to fruit tell them where to go and get all the files along that But you don't have to use all of her parts It definitely helps because that's what it's all designed for but you can definitely update this have like a co2 sensor in there like log Like you know temperature data or something like that and like we were shown in the video because of the mounts You can just figure out what's magnetic and just let it chill there and act like a real life You know just recon and sensor robot. Yeah, so I have some like little play features like the The tail goes up and down you have it in stow mode so you can you know travel with it And one of the other things I had trouble doing was like figuring out how to get the wings to go And I was gonna like attach it to these little Little tabs on there, but it works better just having gravity take care of it And it's easier when you have kids because you can go over there grabbing He's not gonna break it so lots of cool features like that and of course it's all snapped together So it's super easy to add whatever components you want in there So guides live now. I can get all the files. It's all step files You can edit it to your heart's content and scale it up Operated on whatever you want. All right. Good work, and we'll be playing this video and the one from last week too So people have a two for two speed-ups and two 3d printing videos this week All right next up we're gonna go to John and then Mark and then Nair doc. Hey John. How's it going? Hey, what'd you get going on? so a while back I was showing off my Keychain holder backup idea that I had Passing yeah, it's just had a little Wi-Fi chip back here And you when you hang up the keys you can hang them up and plug in your USB driving backup of Wi-Fi So I talked about that a while ago And I was showing it off on Twitter and somebody's like well, how do you you know safely remove it? Because there's no safety US move USB button or anything on it. Yeah So I'm like that's a great question.  That's a good idea on the voltage lines, right? So and then a little Wi-Fi chip on here and Wrote a script so I can power cycle this this this relay On and off interrupt my file transfer on the USB device and see what happens so so I ran that probably around 500 times and Every time it remounted that that that USB drive and No positive errors. So so that was a project right I didn't have to do that all manually That's a really good solution to a problem that you invented yourself A lot of fun. Yeah, that's good. Excellent. You made the cure and the disease and disease in the air. So good work on that Okay, thanks so much. All right, we're gonna go to mark and then we'll go to nerda. Okay mark. How's it going? Pretty good Really done much with electronics last week. Just got new glasses that I thought I'd show off. That's right Wait, but yeah These things have been a ton of fun to play with I just managed to modify the 3d printed glasses that you guys have To support this hardware as opposed to the LED matrix that I love so much and yeah There's a dozen blanks it just looks like you're really away There's a few different things that this looks like it could be a Simpsons character. It could be I think the Villain in who frame Roger Rabbit. There's a lot of things that this starts to look like Yeah, I had a lot of people say it looked like the minions Theaters I think this week yeah, yeah, maybe you're sponsored by them. If not, you should be yeah They think they're technically sponsoring everything right now. Um, well, this is fantastic and how could folks? remake this or build this if they wanted to so Right now on Twitter. There's a link To my github which has all the code that's used in this. I haven't uploaded the glasses I literally finished printing and soldering this 15 minutes before the show So I do plan to write up something and post it online and I'll Make sure that everyone if they want to copy it and do what they want Yeah, get it over to us. This is really cool Excellent work. This this will delight many zoom meetings for many people very soon. Yeah I realize that today that I need to wear this for work All right, okay, all right, thanks so much Mark. Thanks. All right There dog. How's it going? Hello, what you got me? Well, yes, we can hear you. Okay, so so I've been Doing some stuff related to installing libraries with the web workflow So this is This is my friend house. It's not very happy. There's a module missing So what we're gonna do now is we're gonna load this on here You're you're on the bleeding edges. They say you're gonna load the web workflow Yeah, and we're gonna click auto install and This don't know it's good that pie this finds all the modules all the dependencies You know, it lists them it gives you the versions that are on the board and you can install them So let's install bitmap font and so it uploads With Wi-Fi to the board and now the bootree starts and There's another error There's another what you're missing. So, you know what let's install them all. Yeah, yeah, just do it. This is like my iPhone It's like This is like my this is like my Chrome browser that's just like hit update now and while we're waiting for this I'm special. Thanks in your doc who is in the Adafruit forms helping out lots of folks So we do hug reports in our Adafruit notes, but I just want to say thank you for Helping so many people on the forums Okay, look at this. It's working and there you go. You have all the all the libraries have been installed You can also do like circuit update, you know, it will find the modules that are in your lib directory and Offer to update them If it's not oh, yeah when the code is running the web workflow doesn't work as well, yeah They've build and in addition to that, I think I'm gonna work also on Having an interface where you can select libraries directly and install them So you know, yeah, you want my tag This version currently downloads them as a zip So that's not what we want for the web workflow, but to start. Yeah That's was a version that I made before the web workflow So, yeah, let's all right That's circuit for the web workflow. This is really cool. And how amazing are microcontrollers now that you can do stuff like this? Very cool. All right, Naraduk. Well, thank you so much and thank you once again for all the help in the forums with The folks getting their projects going Okay, all right, thank you everybody we got to everybody that's our show until it's good to be back Thank you everyone special. Thanks to the team who was doing show-and-tell while we were doing other stuff Including getting ready for ask an engineer, but this week we did show until next week We'll be doing show-and-tell as well Thank you so much everybody for making this the best happen hour of our week every single week Whether we're watching it or chatting with you. We'll see everybody in just a few minutes Ask an engineer starts in about five minutes or so. Bye buddy. Bye


So I'm Sergeant Ethan Keercutter with Second CB Bravo Company Third Platoon. My name is spelled E-T-H-A-N-K-I-R-C-H-G-A-T-T-E-R. Now we're doing our evaluation. It's called the McCree. Basically tests our skills in preparation for when we attach to our Victor unit, Victor 3-6. We're out here running Range Golf 3-6. It's an evaluation. This is the culminating event for our platoon McCree. We do this in preparation for deployment once we attach to Victor 3-6. We started with an insert at an LZ and then made some movement. Did cash reduction, and then displaced to an LZ where we got picked up in the Ospreys, displaced to another location, and then made movement and occupied a defense for two days. Displaced again, came to the range, and we ran Golf 3-6. So being the platoon guy, you take care of a lot of logistic things for the platoon, making sure that dudes have chow, water, ammunition, things that they need, basically setting them up for success as they push out on different types of missions. Doing evaluations like this is crucial prior to actually attaching and deploying with Victor units, putting our skills to the test. Exercises like this are very important. It's crucial. When we attach to Victor units, we have to support them in any way we can, whether it's survivability, counter mobility, or even mobility. So the more reps we get at this, the better we are at it when we end up attaching and deploying. I'm Lance Corporal Tahada Molina. I'm a first team leader for Second Squad. Okay, cool. And what's your first name? Stephen. And then spell out your first and last name for me. T-E-J-A-D-A-M-O-L-I-N-A-S-T-E-V-E-N. At Second CB, we really like to basically make it easier on our squad leaders. So I'm in charge of about three to four guys. So whatever it is that our task is, I'm basically in charge of a few of the smaller things, like maneuvering and whether it's a task out, like sling and sea wire, which is one of our biggest jobs. But that's basically what we do here. These exercises are extremely important for us. It gives us a whole lot of reps.  The way, whether it's shooting hoops or swinging the bat, the more you do it, the better you get at it. And one of the things that I really like the most is that it creates a lot of chemistry between my team and my squad as a whole, which that just allows us to integrate easily with our grunts over at three, six, to just be able to do our own job, but also support those guys. Having chemistry with the rest of my team, the rest of my squad, it just makes it easier for everyone in the squad, just because sometimes I wouldn't really have to look a certain way to know exactly where you're located or what the next mission is, the next task or the next objective, I basically kind of can read you and base or move my team accordingly to your team. So having chemistry in my specific team is super important, whether it's on the job or off the job, but that really allows us to know exactly who's gonna move first, who's breaching the door, who's a breacher, things like that. So everyone just knowing exactly what their job is and that just makes it easier for us to move with especially two other fire teams to our flanks. So having chemistry with my team, with my squad and running all these drills, it makes it easier for the grunts just to have trust on us cause that's basically like what we're trying to prove to them is that we have the capability of doing our job as well as their job so whenever they can trust us, it just makes it easier on them to keep their, let's say mission plan exactly how they want it and not have to adjust things off of us because they don't trust that we could do a certain thing. So that's basically the biggest thing with chemistry. Chemistry and trust is the biggest thing for us.


This actor, who's only in his early 20s, has already risen to the top of Hollywood's ranks and is fast on his way to becoming this generation's Leonardo DiCaprio. Timothy was born and raised in an apartment complex situated in Hell's Kitchen, New York City, under the watchful eye of his mother, a former Broadway dancer and his father, a former correspondent for the French Daily newspaper known as La Parisienne. At a young age, Timothy was accepted into a special institution known as Fiorello H. La Guardia High School of Music and Arts and Performing Arts that developed his creative talent amongst other famous celebrity kids, including pop superstar Madonna's daughter Lourdes, who, rumor has it, actually dated Timothy for a short period of time. Also, Michael and I have dropped our own house tour of our new home that we moved into this year, so go ahead and subscribe to our personal channel if you want to see where we're living and more of what we're up to. In these videos, we don't reveal any addresses and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. After graduating from high school in 2013, Timothy would attend Columbia University for one year and was a resident of Hartley Hall while a student on campus. Unfortunately, he found it difficult to return to school after his career took off following his appearance in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar. Rather than continue with his studies, Timothy departed Columbia and left his parents home as well, renting an apartment for himself in an area of the Bronx, known as Concourse, where he set about focusing on his film career. Not a whole lot of info is out there about Timothy's apartment, but it's believed he's rented the property for a handful of years now and rumors suggest that it's a two-bedroom unit with one bathroom and a little under 1,000 square feet of space. The closest we've come to getting an inside look at the place are the occasional glimpses Timothy has posted to Instagram. For instance, he once shared this look at his home entertainment setup. The image shows off his apartment's wooden floors, white furnishings and a minimalist interior that could probably use a bit of touch-ups, like hiding all of those wires. Then there's this peek into what appears to be his no-doubt tiny living room, which nonetheless offers a gorgeous white wooden bookshelf highlighted by some warm built-in lighting. Last but not least, Timothy also provided us with a taste of his bedroom, which boasts a carpet over wooden floors as well as a series of bedside tables painted in a trendy shade of dark gray. Admittedly not a bunch to go on, but at least Timothy is more forthcoming when it comes to some of his favorite haunts to check out when he's back home in the Big Apple. During an interview with Frank Ocean, the young star would tell the wildly popular R&B singer about three places everyone should visit when visiting New York City. This started with his favorite coffee shop named Mud. He also recommended tourists check out the home of his favorite carb overload, Tompkins Square Bagels, and on your way out of town be sure to check out the sights at his favorite neighborhood in the entire city, East Village. Of course with all the time he's been spending shooting bigger and bigger films in Hollywood, Timothy figured it was time to finally lay down some roots of his own, and he did so by securing himself an amazing estate in Beverly Hills with a long line of former celebrity tenants. After having led a bi-coastal lifestyle for so long, Timothy Chalamet became a proud California landowner when he paid 11 million dollars for the secluded home of former supermodel Kate Upton and her husband, Houston Astros star Justin Verlander in October 2022. His new 1.5 acre estate sits right next door to an even larger estate, owned by Fast and the Furious star and the man who single-handedly keeps the undershirt industry and business, Vin Diesel. And that's not all. Other famous residents that Timothy can now call neighbor include John Mayer, Cameron Diaz and Eva Longoria, all of whom own property within walking distance of his new place. First built in the 1970s and centered deep in the mountains above Beverly Hills, this East Coast traditional style home has a lengthy celebrity pedigree. It was first owned in the 90s by Grammy award-winning saxophonist Kenny G who eventually sold the property to tennis star Pete Sampras. More recently, the estate was lived in by big-time Hollywood producer John Peters before Kate and Justin moved in next. After six years of ownership, Upton and her husband put this property for sale earlier in the year. And while the final sale price was less than the 11.7 million dollar ask, it's still more than double the 5.3 million these two originally paid for it. According to reports, the superstar couple gave the property a minor renovation during their ownership, fully overhauling the kitchen but leaving the rest of the home largely untouched, save for some new paint and ceiling treatments. Largely invisible from the street, hidden behind gigantic gates, high walls and a very long driveway, this hillside home is said to offer around 5,500 square feet of space. Inside you'll discover white and bright spaces with a multitude of big windows, French doors and various galleries including a living room with massive stone fireplace located nearby a very formal dining room with an extra pair of French doors along the back wall that lead outdoors. A short walk from there is the eating kitchen which boasts a breakfast nook with bench-style seating for intimate family get-togethers. White oak floors lead from there into the charming and inviting family room which offers a white vaulted ceiling with plenty of exposed beams. Elsewhere on the property is a spacious games room which doubles as a media center and there's also a walk-in, climate controlled wine storage room. Upstairs there are four bedrooms including two en-suites as well as two smaller family suites and an extra separate guest bedroom that's good for any living staff that Timothy might decide to hire in the near future. As for his master en-suite upstairs it boasts a stunning ceiling with a candle at chandelier and its bathroom is drenched in calming neutral shades while featuring a spa-style plunge tub as well as dual vanity sinks. Then there's the outdoors where Timothy is going to get the opportunity to enjoy the sunshine and ways he probably never could in New York by diving into his brand new pool. The pool also attaches to a raised spa on a stunning brick terrace. Also located on the grounds are rose gardens, a grassy lawn, manicured hedges and a full-sized tennis court that's a hold over from when Sampros used to practice at home each and every day. Now that he's got this gorgeous new place the question becomes where will Timothy Chalamet spend the majority of his time? Near his family in New York or in the comfort of his brand new dicks? Considering he's already tried returning home just to see how it would be after being nominated for an Academy Award and came away feeling pretty unimpressed, my money is on LA. At least for the next few months or so. After all let's be honest sooner rather than later it's gonna be getting cold up here in the northeast again but down south in California? Timothy is gonna be able to enjoy beautiful weather all year long while breaking in his stunning new home. Alright guys that's gonna bring this latest house tour to a close but before you head out take a moment to ask yourself this one question. If you were a young actor would you rather live in a neighborhood surrounded by superstars more famous than yourself or somewhere where you'd be the biggest celebrity on the block? Let me know your reasons why in the comments down below. Otherwise like, subscribe and turn on your notifications to make sure you never miss an episode.

Hello everybody and welcome to another product review video. And today we are going to be talking about Green Stuff World's Pure Metal Pigment. So I got the full set here, or I've got these gold colors I should say. So we've got bronze, copper, and then antique gold and gold. Now what's important to understand about these is they are exactly what they say on the bottle. That is, they are a pure metal pigment. So they are actually ground metal pigments. They aren't actually ground bronze or gold, obviously. That would be a bit cost ineffective, but they are metallics, so it's not mica, and then that have been colorized accordingly. So if we open up the jar here, you don't see paint. Instead, you just see pigment. Initial impressions when I got it was it is very finely ground, which is really important. So what you need to understand about most metallic paints is that metallic paints often use mica to simulate metal. That's why they don't actually look like they have a metal shine because they are not metal. High quality metal paints like Vallejo Metal Color and some of the other enamel and things like that on the market use aluminum powder, which is very, very, very finely ground, which makes it okay for your brush or airbrush. The advantage to having the pure metal in pigment form is you can then mix it how you want. So when it comes out of the pot, it looks effectively like this. So here are our four pigments, gold over here, antique gold right here, copper, and then bronze. So you can see that is literally just a very finely ground pigment. So the first question is can you use it like traditional pigment, that is to say just getting it on a brush and pushing it around and getting a slight metallic sheen? And the answer is yes, you certainly can. Nothing stops you from simply grabbing it. We'll take a little bit of the gold here and you can see if I just take the edge of the space and push it around that I will give a slight metallic sheen to the area, but it's quite faint. So yes, you can still apply it like regular pigment, though I will openly admit I would have very little need often to put a metallic sheen on something in this method, but if you're looking for if you want metal dust or something like that it can be a way to go. What you actually are probably going to use it for is to make paint. So the question then becomes okay how do we turn this into paint? Well having an pigment form is again actually quite an advantage because you can mix it with anything you want. So in their tutorials they often use this green stuff world master medium, which is fine. This is effectively just acrylic medium. Nothing more. Paint consists of three elements, acrylic paint consists of three elements. Pigment, a bonding agent, and a solvent. Pigment is pigment. We've got it right here. The acrylic medium is our bonding agent, right? So that's what is making the thing stick, stick together, hold the pigment in place. It forms a chemical lattice work that holds pigments in place. And then solvent, which for our case is water. That's why acrylic paint is generally non-toxic because it's just using water as a solvent as opposed to something much more toxic like enamels or oil paints do. I tested with this. It's fine. It certainly does the job. However, I found that actually using something like gloss varnish gives a better result. You can put anything that is effectively going to activate the pigment into this to mix it. So chances are you have stuff in your house that's going to work just fine for this. If you have any kind of acrylic thinner or medium or thinner medium or varnish, you can do it with the metal. Now word of caution I would recommend against using AK interactive ultra matte varnish. I did see what would happen if you put those together. The answer is you do get a very matte metal. So if you're trying to have dull gold, I suppose it would work, but I usually like my gold shiny. By using gloss varnish combined with a very small pigment, you actually get a really nice, really, really high metal shine. However, you can also use things like alcohol. So isopropyl alcohol will also work. So here I have my little bottle of isopropyl alcohol that I've decanted out into a small bottle. You can use that as well to activate it. But my favorite thing I found to mix it. So I went and tested with a bunch of mediums and my favorite one I used is actually this right here. So this is still water based. This is the gloss varnish metal varnish that goes with the Vallejo metal color set. It's specifically meant to preserve the shine of the Vallejo metal color paints. And what impressed me about this is you really got a really high shine out of it. Everything was smooth. It went on well. Because you're using metal varnish, which is this is really tough stuff, as your medium effectively, the final product is really tough. I was able to put, you know, I put oil paint straight over it. No issues, didn't pick up any paint. I was able to put all sorts of, you know, washes. I played around with a bunch of different stuff. We're going to have a video talking about using these paints coming out separately. This is just a review of the product and its quality. So this will be a two-part video. We'll do a follow-up video on exactly how to use or exactly how all the different fun ways we can use them. So you see we just put a couple drops in there. Let's do that for every one of them. And you'll notice how it starts looking like metallic paint right away. I'm dropping it up from higher than I need to be, so just so I can kick pigment everywhere. Technically I should be doing this down here, but I didn't want to block you in the camera, which has created these nice splatter effects. Put it lower and you won't have that problem. Okay, and we're going to get ourselves a nice big brush. I found you want to minimize the amount of water.  Water will, the solvent will actually break it down somewhat quickly.  And then you just mix it around and make sure all that pigment's absorbed. Now, your mixing ratio. I don't have any little tiny measuring instruments. I ordered some, but they're not here yet, because that's the way the world works now. And so what I use is a little scoop, and then I just do a couple drops at a time until I have it right. What I found is my tiny little scoop, like the little amount you saw in there, about four or five drops of pigment will generally get it going and turn it into metal. If you still see you have large amounts of pigment sitting on the side of the your mixing area, then you need to add more medium, more varnish, more whatever you're using. Do make sure you mix them thoroughly. And if you get your ratio too thin, which you'll know when you put it on something, because if it doesn't cover with perfect opacity, then you know you haven't mixed enough pigment in, and you can always just add another little dollop of pigment. No big deal. Okay? All right, so you can see how easy it is to just get these mixed up and going. We just pull down from the side, get everything nice and in there, and we're good to go. The other thing I will say about mixing is it takes less than you think. As the pigment integrates with the varnish or the medium or the alcohol, it will soak up more than you think it will when you initially put it in, because it'll look like when you put in the initial drops that it's really not doing much. And so you want to make sure that you're, you know, use less to start and then just add another drop here or there. That's the way that I've found is the best. Like I, rather than trying to go the other way around, like I think I might have put a few too many drops in these, you can see how the gold is sort of breaking up a little. That tells me I have too much varnish and not enough pigment. So if that happens, no big deal. Easy fix. You can see how rich red, look how lustry that copper is and that bronze. They're really, really lustrous, shiny, beautiful paints. And because you're mixing them directly with the medium, they stay, they stay so shiny when they're put on the model. So let's mix a little more gold in there.  Like you can see this like gold stain on my desk over here where I had accidentally let some of the pigment fall down. So you know, just be wary. Don't sneeze or cough around your pigments. Boy, are you going to have a heck of a mess then. So get out the little bit you need and then immediately put the cap back on, seal it. You don't want metal pigment all over your work desk.  Okay, so that's mixing them, getting them going. So now let's do some painting with them, shall we? So we're going to start out. I'm just going to show you how they look on a white piece of paper, just so you get kind of a baseline. So here's your antique gold. Really nice, rich, lustrous color. Okay. I really like the color of the antique gold. Let's look at some normal gold. I still didn't put any pigment in there. So you can see how well that shines. Let's try our bronze. Nice brown tone. And then finally our copper. All right, so that's on paper just so you get an idea of the four tones. Now we're going to pause. I'm going to reset a little bit and we're going to show it on a model. All right, so we're back. We've got our old friend Larry the Ogre here and he's going to help us display how this works. So let's start out with a little bit of the copper. Let's give him a little copper gut plate. You can see that I went ahead and mixed up a little more just so I had plenty to work with. Probably too much. It's easy to make too much of this, I will say, but it's fine because you're working with pure pigment. My god, do you get a lot out of one of those pots? Value-wise, they're great. So you can see it just goes right on nice and smooth and we get that beautiful copper shine. Like that has such a luster to it and it will that's more or less how it's going to dry. Again, part of that is because we've mixed it with that metal varnish. So the gloss varnish is helping really keep everything together and reflecting light. Normally metallic pigments are so large that oftentimes the relative matte or shine of the layer underneath will affect the shininess of the level on top. However, in this case, because we've our binder medium here is also gloss varnish and is quite thick and the pigments are ground small enough, it's much less of a challenge. So we tend to have a high opacity and the shine that you have at the beginning tends to be the shine that remains. There you can see that nice difference of the that's the regular gold versus the copper. So real nice color there. Let's go ahead and give him some shiny pants. All right, actually we'll give him some shiny boots. So here we've got the antique gold, which is actually I think my favorite color from this line. So with our, you can see how nice that applies there. Nice. We'll give him the whole boot. We'll just do the whole boot and shiny gold. It's very much reminds me the look of the antique gold. Very much reminds me of painting with or using gold flake if you've ever used gold flake, but it has that level of just like, I mean you can look at that. It looks so reflective, like look how that catches the light. It's so lustrous. It's fantastic. That's what has absolutely blown me away about these. I'm loving just the shine. You know, like you put that next to my ring, right? Look at how close that is. That's fantastic.  Like look at that opacity on a single layer of paint. It's fantastic. Finally let's do some bronze. Very little visible pigment either because again the gloss varnish helps to cover that over but also it's just very finely ground so it's really kind of the best of both worlds. We'll turn his other boot here antique or sorry bronze. This is my only complaint in the set right here which is the bronze. It's a really good color. It's a really nice color. I like it a lot okay but it's not bronze so there's your there's your bronze. You can see kind of all four colors together there. My challenge with the bronze is it's really just like a slightly more brown gold. It doesn't really have a full bronze tint to it. Like even looking at it in the pot you can see it doesn't really have that deep brown I would normally expect out of bronze. It's a little more gold. It's the only one in the set I feel is kind of a miss on replicating its actual color. Like the copper to me feels nice. It's got a nice red shine. The basic gold is cold but you know pretty much cold gold. The antique gold is really nice, really rich, really lustrous. Like this a custodian's army or something in this would be just fire right but the bronze is just kind of it's nice. It's a slightly more brown gold. Like you can see that's now dried completely and look it's still got that same shine right that wasn't just wet paint that all this is reflecting. And you notice I just painted over everything. I didn't under paint anything first. Not all these colors necessarily worked for this. It's just really really effective stuff because it's mixed with the varnish because you've got such a rich pigment load in there because we're not doing any water or other suspensions to try to get this to work. It's just the opacity is off the charts. So there you go. That's the green stuff world pure pigments. I absolutely overall give them an A. The only reason they don't get an A plus is because it is kind of tricky to mix your ratios. You're gonna have some challenges and also because I now have gold pigment on my hands. It's very easy for this product to get very messy. So do use it on like cutting mat or something and then you'll have to wipe down your space afterward. When it's very lightweight hyperground pigment like that it's just easy for it to get everywhere. You don't want it getting on your other models or in areas where it doesn't belong. So apply it carefully and then wipe down your space. That way you're not transferring pigment from like you can see on my hand there you know over to Larry. So you wouldn't want him to accidentally have some gold shine or something. There you go. You can see that how I'm in wiping my hand across and I gave him a little shine. Although honestly you know what Larry? You are gold. You deserve it buddy. You've been here for so long. All right so there you go. Green stuff world pure pigment absolute A. You can get the I ordered mine from Michigan Toy Soldier here in the United States. Great store that got them to me. You can also get them obviously directly from Green Stuff World as well as many other retailers. So that's where you order them from. The actual amount is 30 mils of pigment in the container. I don't even want to rationalize how much paint you'd actually make out of that. A lifetime of paint is the short answer. So even though their price is slightly higher depending on where you are in the world they're worth it because you're going to have you buy one of those things you could do 70 armies of custodias just because of how much you can make. I mean this was made out of you know one scoop of this. That's quite a lot and there are many of those tiny scoops in there. So there you go. That's Green Stuff World pure pigment. Oh one final note yes they do work but for both brush and airbrush you do need to thin them a little more through the airbrush. I do use my standard thinner flow-improver ratio through the airbrush but you can you want to pre-mix do not put the pigment into the cup pre-mix it into something else put in your thinner and then thin and mix you know in there and then put that whole mess into the cup. This is the only time I don't mix in the cup directly because you do not want these pigment chunks unmixed getting into the airbrush cup. That is a nightmare but yes it will work on both brush and airbrush. It will take washes and stuff normally. Come back for another video when we do a hobby cheating video on these and I show you other interesting ways to use these, mix these, glaze over these. We really get into them and have a good time with it. So there you go. Hope that product review was helpful. I think they're definitely worth a pickup if you are obsessed with true metallics like I am. If you liked this give it a like subscribe for more hobby cheating in the future sorry for more product reviews and hobby cheating and everything in the future. But as always I very much appreciate you watching this one and we'll see you next time.
