Poo Bear here. As you guys know Marty and I have been fixing up the house we bought last August and so today we're going to be replacing the commode. It's an eyesore and I wanted a new one so we got it. So today Marty is going to do an instructional video on how to replace the toilet in your house. So with nothing else to say we're going to go ahead and start putting the new commode in. Who is? Shea Bear. He said Marty. Did I say Marty? You too. Did she say Marty? Probably. Thank you. Alright so Shea Bear is going to be putting in the toilet. Alright thanks. Alright so here's what we're going to be changing. It's really not an eyesore but it's too high for Poo's little legs.  Now after you do that you're going to want to flush that and get all the water out of your bowl out. So what we're going to do here is take this off. Can you take that please? I got it. Thank you. So the water is off so you're going to want to just drain this down.  So I'm going to take this and we're going to loosen it. There's that. And then down here, can you see that? That right there. These are the two bolts you're going to want to take out. That one. Another one here on this side. Take these bolts out. Well that one's kind of loose. That one's kind of loose. But you want to take them out. Now I don't know if you can see that or not. See how right there it's real thin. What that's for is after you buy these bolts and you put them in and you tighten them down and everything. You can get these plastic caps that cover these.  That's why it's real thin right there.  Now we didn't buy the cap. I bought new bolts of course and new wax ring but we didn't buy the caps because they were 450 and they used to come in the set. So but anyway we're going to get started on this and I'll get back with you in a second. We're going to take this bolt out. Now sometimes like in our last house we I actually had to cut these bolts off because they were so rusted and stripped and that was a pain.  I'm going to do the other side and then we'll get this up out of here. Be right back with you. Are you ready for this poo? Yes I'm ready. Okay now we just gotta kind of wiggle make sure you get the wax ring and we pick it up and this is what we do with it. And we take it out here and sit right in poo bear's way. There's that and I'll show you something else. This is your wax ring. This is all going to come out and what you got to do is clean all this off and make sure it's all nice and clean before you put the new one in. Put a new wax ring in you can't reuse them some people do but they're just going to end up leaking so I'm going to get that taken care of get that cleaned off and I'll be right back with you. Hi YouTube back with you. I just wanted to give you a quick look. I got almost not the camera over. I got most of this cleaned off real good. Now the reason why we're not going to worry about the floor is this going to be all replaced here soon anyway the floor so this is just what we're doing for right now just to show you. Now how you take these out I'll show you a new one see the head on that funky looking it's not round that keeps it from twisting so but what all you do is you slide this over and then out the same way with the other side now it's still got some of the old wax ring stuff in there now you can clean that out real good if you want but a lot of times I find it helps hold the bolt in there for you a lot better like that if you don't but I mean I recommend you would which this is going to come up again once I take this all back up to replace the flooring in here you know this will all be clean and perfect like new so and what these do these little washers here what this does you put these on here slide it down on hold your bolt for you when you go to set the commode down on those will just stay on there kind of helps you a little bit now a lot of guys will put the wax ring or johnny ring as poob here calls it uh same thing the wax ring in here first and then put the commode down on it what I do is I put the wax ring on top of the commode or on the commode and then set it now because it'll stick on there either way you prefer I don't know if there's an etiquette I'm a professional plumber an etiquette on how you're supposed to do that but I'm just guessing it's a matter of preference I've done it both ways both ways work but so I'm going to cut you off I just want to show you how to change these bolts so I'm going to cut you off now and I'm going to put set the commode down in here down on here and uh we'll get back to you okay YouTube I'm back now I spared you setting the commode down on the thing because well it's pretty boring um the holes in the well you can't see them but the holes down there where the bolts come through they're slotted so you won't have any problems setting it down on and just set it down on tighten them down they don't have to be tight like a lug nut on a car you know just snug them up real good so nothing moves now this is not a brand new commode this was in the basement one we got the house so but I'm gonna show you Poo Bear got this nice wooden toilet seat I'll show you how to put this on it's a little crooked but and it comes with your little attachments she bought this what'd you get for this 7.99 so she did really good you just put these down in there or does these ones go up through yeah these good and then they're like that and up underneath you just put them on same with these they don't have to be tight with big brute force strength or anything like that so and they just snug up now when you're taking your old toilet seat off you may run in the same problem like I was talking about down below where you don't have to cut you might have to cut the bolts off or whatever but they come come with plastic now which in a way is good it's got us ups and downs plastic you break it off real easy if you have to but plastic they break off real easy when you don't want them to sometimes too but it's no big deal because they're only a couple bucks how much we give them for what all night we did buy these they came with the thing they're like two or three bucks you know if you do have to get these little these little bolts here so you just screw it up on there and I go up until it touches same one with the other side and then you move it around you know to where it fits fits good and it's got a nice fit on it I'm going to show you uh but like I said this was in the basement the other one was just too tall because it is for like handicap or um so maybe that's why this was in the basement we're not sure but so now the tank on this like we can't find the lid to it so we've got to get a lid but uh a lid for the tank for the back so just kind of move it around until it's got a nice fit on it and then go ahead and tighten it up what I do I just use a screwdriver and my fingers is all I do to tighten the screwdriver you don't actually twist this you twist the nut up on and just hold it with the screwdriver and I tighten with my fingers and then just flip your little flaps down so for seven bucks what the hell it's nice and I'll show you out of this you guys I'll put a in with this I'll put the in here uh that was in here when we got the house this was in the basement as well and of course it was all nasty now back here this supposed to be clear up against the wall shit this supposed to be clear up against the wall and it's supposed to be cocked and sealed there now the reason why we haven't done it is because we haven't done the walls yet this is where the old sink was right up there so once we get the walls done this this vanity will be back up where it's supposed to be and we need to get a new medicine cabinet but there's that and here is the the commode and that thing was gnarly kind of gnarly looking too wasn't it but poo use some what'd you call it secret weapon on yeah the works oh it's called the works yeah the works yeah so I guess it's not secret no more no but that's what she used to use and inside the tank there you can see that that's actually clean compared to what the rest of it looked like so she did an awesome job on this thing and there you go and there's our our lead and everything works good we have no uh no leaks and and now like I said before those caps that go on them on them bolts right there there's plastic caps now the reason why we didn't get them they are $4.59 but the reason real reason why we didn't get them is because I gotta pull this back out again anyway when I do the flooring which I probably wouldn't have to you can cut around there but I don't like doing it that way when I do the flooring I'm going to take it you know take the mode back out and do it the way it's supposed to be done but there's commode we just we've got to get a lid for it well the lid might be in basement we don't know but I got a battery like flash in here so there you go YouTube thanks for watching and thanks to poo bear floor to help it as you see we threw some blue paint on on here just to brighten it up in this bathroom you guys might remember it was real dark blue and it was drab and but so that's a little how-to video for you just kind of like a little update what we're doing to the house and everything poo thank you for your help and cleaning that real good and everything you're awesome girl you get prettier every day you know that oh thank you and we got some good news recently didn't we yes you want to tell them what it was I'm not sure what oh shave hair got a promotion at work so we're all excited about that he's gonna have some more days off during the week so that's cool yeah just happened to get today off because we had enough people show up to where we rotate I've been getting maybe one day off every 10 to 15 days or something like that and last one I had to take off but so now I'll be getting every other weekend off and two days through the week off on the weekends that I do have to work so we'll have more videos coming for you so she's pretty happy about that aren't you yes I am and they're 12 hour days but like I said I get the days off so like it's a two three shift my longest week it'll be a Friday Saturday and Sunday 12 hour days but I I get off I'll be getting off around 7 30 at night so I'll be home at nights with poo yes she's pretty happy about that she's been messing she bear at night so yes but enough of our private life you guys don't really give a shit about that but we don't either but we just wanted to give you a little update of what we're doing so like I said battery things blinking and again thanks for watching and poo poo there all right shave there I'm going thank you thank you


How's it going everybody? DatoDoy here and I am very excited to be making a video today on the next Arc System Works game, aka Grand Blue Fantasy Versus. Now the reason I'm making this video now and not when the game was initially released is because they just dropped a whole ton of gameplay footage on us out of nowhere. The other reason I'm so excited to be talking about it now is that they're actually holding a closed beta relatively soon and I want as many people that are interested to be able to hop in on that and see how the game plays. So I'm sure somewhere down in the description or maybe the pinned comment I'll have some instructions on how to do that, but this video is more focused around what Grand Blue Fantasy Versus is so far and what we got out of this gameplay footage. Boiler Alert by the way, I was overall pleasantly surprised by what I saw, but that might be getting ahead of myself. Let's start off by talking about the overview we got of the five playable characters in this beta state of the game. At first they introduced us to Gron who has turned out to be the balanced character of the game, you know, as the main character, he's sort of real like in the sense that he doesn't do anything too particularly well and he doesn't do anything too particularly difficult. Characters like this usually serve as somebody that you pick up during your beginning time with the game and as you play them you kind of learn these different facets of stuff so you usually have a fireball so you learn the projectile game. Sure you can type move which I think they show off here for him, just teaches you invincible moves, what can you do with this, so even if you end up not sticking with that character, many will, you don't have to essentially start over with whoever you pick next. They even say here that they're designed philosophy for creating Gron as he's a straightforward character designed with easy to control and straightforward skills. They do make a point however that Gron is a character that gets a lot more out of being closer to his opponent and this point is what mainly separates him from the second character they talked to us about, Catalina. Catalina much like Gron is another character that just does everything super well, just a character that can really handle a lot of different situations and again really the only thing we learn about her that separates her from Gron is that her weapon is a bit longer and she has more charging skills. These are just things that will allow players that aren't really feeling the close range style of a basic character to switch to something that's more of a mid range style of fighting. In contrast to these two standard characters, up next they introduced us to Charlotte who is a very strange character, she serves the role of being that small speedy character. They also say that she does insane damage when she does land these hits. Other mechanics that make her unique are the fact that she's able to counter normals and that she has an almost demon flip like ability and from what I see land a grab, go for a low or just start an overhead attack, so that's very Akuma like those that have played Akuma and other street fighter games in the past. I'm sure it will feel very similar. They don't show off too much of it here, but later on when the pros actually play against each other, this is a move they abuse a lot. Similar to Charlotte in one way is Lancelot who is also described as being a speedy type character, but is made distinct by the fact that he focuses more on mix ups. This is one of those characters that they don't describe in too much detail here, but watching the gameplay, it really does look like Lancelot is going to be a problem of character. He really is just so fast and can get around you so easily, especially using some of the other mechanics the game has to offer, which we will talk about later. Before that though, we have to talk about the fifth and final character discussed here, Vary. This is a character that has been labeled as the Zoner of the Bunch. She also has the longest reaching normals, which contributes to why she's able to zone so effectively, but they also mentioned that her pets, aka her special moves, help us discover the reason why she's able to keep these opponents across the screen so well. Out of the bunch, just visually she does look like the most technical character to play, but obviously along with that comes some very good stuff. Keeping your opponent across the screen in a 2D fighting game is very annoying, as I'm sure a lot of us have experienced, and that's just because it's so good. Regardless, that is actually where they wrap up the character discussions for this small beta, and then they move into talking about some mechanics and describing ways in which this game is aiming to be a little more accessible, while also maintaining those aspects of a fighting game that, you know, more hardcore players and players that have been playing fighting games for a very long time really love. One of the things that I would say fits this category is special move inputs. This is something I've heard a lot of casual players complain, you know, is it really necessary? And New Age fighting game developers have been moving in a direction where, you know, we'll try cooldown stuff, and that is what they've implemented here, but they've done something that I really like in the fact that, you know, they have cooldowns for these special moves, obviously, if you can activate them with one button, that's something you have to do, but if you do them with an input command, it shortens the skill cooldown. I know it sounds super nerdy, but to me this is super interesting, because in some areas of the game, it's going to be more beneficial to, you know, eat the longer cooldown, just activate the skill, maybe you don't want to give away the information that, you know, you're crouching and you're going for a fireball, obviously, you see that crouch, they input at the command a little slow, they're going for a fireball, maybe they're going for a sure you can, but if you do it with a button, you really don't have to give away any of those signs, so maybe you're playing neutral, you need an ability fast, boom, you eat the longer cooldown, it's whatever, but if you're just playing normally, you want to maximize your efficiency, then you got to go ahead and use those special move inputs, and I feel like that rewards skill, while also not essentially condemning casual players to be, you know, inefficient. If a player would want to, I'm sure you'd be more than able to never touch special moves in your entire career playing this game, and you would probably still be able to get quite a few wins under your belt. Continuing on with what they've done with special moves, they've also made it so that you can still EX these special moves, the cooldown will just be a lot longer than usual. Also an interesting note, when you EX a special move normally in fighting games, that consumes a little bit of meter, that's kind of the trade-off there, but in this game, I think they just want the trade-off to be that longer cooldown, as you can see the meter does not move an inch when they EX their special moves, so that meter on top is 100% just for supers. While we're on the topic of supers, they really haven't changed the supers format too much, you can unleash a skybound art when your gauge reaches 100%, but if your HP is low enough 30% or lower, then you get a super skybound art, which is basically an you can think of that as an ultra attack and the skybound art as a super attack, but I kind of want to get back to mechanics that kind of make an effort to bridge that accessibility gap between casuals and hardcore players, so I really want to talk about what they've done with blocking in this game.  In this game, you can still do exactly that, it works perfectly normal, but for newer players, they also have a block button. This is a mechanic that personally I'm very happy isn't the only way you can block, something about the way I play fighting games, I just I hate block buttons so much for some reason, it really doesn't jive with me, but I know a lot of players like it because it's just a lot simpler and it makes more sense to have such an important action dedicated to a button on its own. Mechanics wise, usually a block button entails that you're just going to be able to block anything, cross-ups even, no matter what, as long as you're holding the button, no matter what side they attack you on, you're blocking it, but in this game the block button doesn't actually have that property from what I can see, so you're just holding the block button, it's pretty much just a stop gap, also if somebody tries to throw you while you're holding this block button, even if you do tech the throw, it'll count as a late tech, which in this game means you take a little bit of damage anyway, because you didn't tech perfectly on time.  To summarize my thoughts on this block button thing, I think it's a great way to give players that like that format of blocking a way to do it, while also still opening them up to other aspects of the game, like cross-ups and things of that sort. So in my books this is just another win in terms of accessibility design. As far as other mechanics linked with Guarding Go, there is also an invasive move in this game that allows you to move through your opponent. I don't know how much this mechanic is going to affect high-level play or even just casual play, because they don't show it off too much in the matches, but it is an interesting mechanic for sure. Other than everything I've discussed here they really don't go into detail on too much else, so I'm super hoping I get into that close bandit and mess around with everything. But other interesting things that I saw were some insane looking supers like Ferries here, who throws out this orb that the opponent has to block while also worrying about you coming in for mix-ups and pressure. That alone was very cool to me, but also seeing that chip damage does take place in this game is something I've missed in a lot of fighting games. Chip damage is kind of going extinct these days. People do not like chip damage. Part of me is super nostalgic for it though. I love the fact that you can get killed by blocking. It just makes comebacks all the sweeter. That being said, whether or not chip damage is only regulated to some supers, only supers or every move isn't known by me yet, so I don't want to speak on that, but just the fact that chip damage at all is in the game is super cool. Now I just kind of want to talk over some gameplay from the professionals here and why the gameplay itself got me super excited more so than I was before, and that's because in general the game looks a lot faster than what I expected it to be. I mean just look at this clip here. He lands a fireball on a jumping opponent, gets to speed in, go for a combo, get the knockdown, teleport above his opponent, land behind, and then eventually he loses because he gets run in on and gets hit by an overhead. That is just pure fighting games. That's the stuff I really love, but I'm also a huge fan of how that's not everything this game is. You know, a lot of fighting games these days kind of pick something, pick or choose, you know, you know, let's say dragon ball fighters as a game. As an experience it's really focused around aggression and how good you can handle aggression, and I love it for that. It's a lot of fun. I love aggressive fighting games, but I also kind of miss games that can handle both. Like look at this clip here of the speedy small character, Charlotte, trying to get it on fairy. Both players are kind of backing up. The fairy is doing a good job of trying to keep that space with those long-range normals.  What this really screams to me is it's kind of like a street fighter experience, you know, slower, more grounded, but it also has that visual flair from Arxis that I've really come to appreciate, and it's why a lot of their games are some of my favorite fighting game experiences that I've had in the past couple years. Not to say it's the first anime game to go for a more grounded style. Unist pulls that off with a lot of grace as well, but to be honest, Unist is a very weird game to put it. It's not exactly super easy to sit down, look at the UI of Unist and say, okay, I understand what this game is. I kind of understand all the systems at play, and I'm ready to go. I'm ready to play some Unist. No, it's kind of a game you have to go through the tutorial. While this is super simplistic, you got the special moves up there showing you the cooldowns, both visually and mechanically. This is a game that I think is making some strides at being super viewer friendly. Like somebody clicks on twitch and they see this, and right away they can understand that's the super bar, that's the health bar, and those are their super moves. Now let's see what a fighting game is, and I think this game does that super well. So yeah guys, those are my thoughts on this gameplay look we got at Grand Blue Versus. It went from being on my radar definitely, but very low, wasn't too interested in it. Didn't really care too much, but now all of a sudden it's become my most anticipated fighting game of the year just because of a few minutes of gameplay. I don't know how they did it, but this was a great, great trailer in a way, I guess. A great look at their game, honestly, and I couldn't be more excited. Hopefully you guys can let me know your thoughts down below, whether or not you think they're going too far with accessibility, not far enough, or if they've hit that sweet spot, and if you're going to sign up for the beta, or if you already have, and whether or not you're looking forward to it, because I definitely am. Hopefully I see you guys down in the comments, like I said, but while you're down there, if you liked the video and the channel, make sure to hit the like button and subscribe for all sorts of fighting game videos. You know, we do dragon ball fighters here, Mortal Kombat, all sorts of stuff like that. So if any of that sounds good to you, make sure to subscribe. I also got some of those videos I was talking about right there on your screen, so give those a watch if any of them catch your eye. I'm Dr. Doe. Thanks again for watching this video, and I will see you in the next one.


This is Tech Talk of Buona Episode 299. Follow the click. Welcome to Tech Talk with Buona. This technology podcast covers tech news and reviews for the entire week. And now here's your host, me, Buona McCall. Greetings, folks. Welcome to Episode 299 of Tech Talk of Buona. We got a great show lined up for you one away from 300. I don't have anything playing for 300. I probably should think of something. It is what's left of Sunday. Actually, it's actually Monday now, but we're really, really late Sunday night. April 7th going into April 8th for Tech Talk of Buona 299. Got six stories to talk about everything ranging from your browser to Amazon, to Apple, Spotify, Google, and some stuff about solar power, getting a little bit of technology stuff, a little bit of that technology stuff and with Tech Talk of Buona. Got a great show lined up for you. Enjoy the show. If our first story, we're going to talk about browsers and click tracking. This is a privacy topic regarding when you click on URLs at your favorite website. According to this article over on bleepingcomputer.com, major browsers to prevent disabling of click tracking privacy risk. Now, what does that mean? There is a tag that you can put in your HTML to link to another page.  You go to a web page and you click on the link and it takes you somewhere else. What these these websites can do is that they can include a ping directive on this particular tag and it will actually ping another URL without telling you.  And a lot of people don't like that. This is how a lot of your clicks can be tracked by filter bubbles and stuff like that.   But most browsers are not going to let you disable it in the future. Apple, with their Safari project, our Safari browser used to allow you to block it with the defaults command. If you've ever used Apple products, there's a defaults. And then you have this long string, right? com dot apple dot safari that blah, blah, blah, blah, blah false, right? So when you did that in Safari, older versions of Safari, it will disable that feature from working. Now, as of safari 12.1, that feature no longer exists. So you can't do it anymore. Same is true for Google Chrome. Current in the current Chrome version 73. It has a hyperlink auditing flag that can be disabled by using the Chrome flags if you're familiar with doing some advanced flag manipulation and Chrome. It's all throughout Chrome and Chromium products. But in the Chrome 74 beta and Chrome 75 canary builds, the flag has been removed. The current version of Microsoft Edge also enables hyperlink auditing by default but provides no way to disable it that this article could find. Like Edge, Opera is based on Chromium and the Opera 61 developer build removes the option as well. The mobile versions of Chrome and Safari haven't enabled by the fault and no way of disabling it. So that's kind of troublesome that all of these browsers are taking that away when they gave you the option to remove it. You got to ask yourself why that just removing the option is even a thing. Now there is hope Firefox and Brave are the only two browsers that currently disable it by default and do not appear to have any plans on enabling it in the future. So if you use Firefox, you're good. If you use Brave, like I do, if you use Brave, it disables it by default and does not allow you to enable it at all. It does have the display bug in Brave where it shows the hyperlink auditing is enabled, but this is a carryover from Chrome and is not displayed correctly. So if you do look at your Brave flags and you see it enabled, it's actually not enabled. We're going to trust the article on that. I trust the guys at Brave, but I'm still going to be watching them like, hey guys, it's still unenabled, is it? It's actually enabled. And the article makes a good suggestion here. Going forward, if this is important to you, this ping flag on links where you click on something and notify something else that you click that link, if this is important to you, you might want to consider looking at Firefox or Brave because they are the only two browsers that we can find that were tested in this article because I know there's other browsers out there. I know I'm getting replies, but why not have you tried the SpongeBob browser? It doesn't track it either. No, I haven't tried the SpongeBob browser, but I'll tell you what, I'm using Brave and I'm very happy with it. I suggest, you know, if you want my personal suggestion, go with Brave. Brave.com. Be Brave.  That's this, that's my sellout moment of the day. Check it out guys, bloopincomputer.com to get the details. Major browsers to prevent disabling of click tracking. And you know, you want to protect your privacy, you should check this out. And for our next story, we're going to talk about Amazon. Amazon is planning to launch over 3,000 satellites to offer broadband internet. This comes by BraveRooters.com. That's right, Amazon on Thursday confirmed its plan to build a network of over 3,000 satellites through Project Cooper, K-U-I-P-E-R, Cooper, I think I pronounced that right, to provide high speed internet, it will launch a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites that will provide low latency, high speed broadband connectivity to people globally who lack basic access to broadband internet. Now, obviously this is a good thing if you think about it from the perspective of, hey, let's give people internet who don't have it. And at first glance, you know, that's my takeaway from it as well. But I start to think about it.  They're one of the shadow brokers out there. They like to get your data. So I imagine that if this is going to be offered for free, there's going to be some caveats with providing your privacy. Nothing is free. So I'm going to keep my eye on the price tag and whether this is free or not. There is competition that this is not the first time I've heard of it. This is probably not the first time you've heard of, you know, low orbit satellites to provide internet. They got competitions from Elon Musk, SpaceX and Airbus back to OneWeb. And in February, OneWeb launched six satellites. And companies like SpaceX, LeoSat, Enterprises and Canada's Telesat are working to enable data networks with hundreds of even thousands of tiny satellites that orbit closer to Earth than traditional communication satellites. So satellite internet is getting a boost in the arm. It's getting a shot in the arm. And that's good because traditionally, you know, we talk about broadband speeds in the US and how the US is lacking and how a lot of people in rural areas.  Rural is like my mouth doesn't want to do it. People out there on the farms, people out there with not a lot of the city folk. I'm from the country. So I can say that I have a license. Just the rural areas don't have the best internet a lot of times because, you know, the fiber cables and the copper, the AT&T and Verizon and all these ISPs provide, they don't usually go out that far. And there's also, you know, distant limitations when you talk about where you're going from different hub centers and that kind of stuff. So traditionally, we look at satellite internet is like, no, that's not that's not sufficient because it's usually worse than like DSL. So if you get one megabit up or down on satellite, that's generally like, oh, wow, that's pretty good. Even mobile carriers are really making a lot of the satellite internet look really bad, you know, the mobile, especially with 4G and LTE looks really, really good compared to to what satellite generally offers. So satellite has a bad name overall, but it's getting better. So we're going to be watching this one very closely with as Amazon enters the fray, but 3,000 satellites is a lot. That's that's world domination. That's that's a lot of satellites. And you got to wonder, like I said, man, there's there's there's motivation behind this. It's not just hey, we want to give you internet. There's something to promote Amazon's business model. You can guarantee it. There's always a catch. So watch it very closely. I mean, some people don't have a problem with the catch, but be prepared to become educated on what the catch is. That's all I asked. Check it out guys over on ruders.com. They got the details. Amazon plans to launch over 3000 satellites to offer broadband internet. And for our next story, we're going to talk about Apple and Spotify. We recently covered Apple and Spotify and their little spat that is quickly becoming the the slash popcorn story of the internet. These two juggernauts are going at it with no holes barred. And the story I'm going to talk about today is from ours, Technica, and they state that more people are paying for Apple music than Spotify in the United States right now. But Spotify still reigns supreme worldwide. And you know, they they these two companies, I didn't see this coming, even when Apple music first came out. I mean, I knew that it was a source of contention. I knew it was a competition point. But I never knew it would come to this. Apple and Spotify have become more competitive than Apple and Google, I got to say right now, because they're they're vying for your service money for music services, which are very, very popular. And Apple making the move to this to like your watch into Apple TV into your devices into your Mac, you know, they're branching out to their entire ecosystem to get you to pay them that money every month. And it's taking away from Spotify because there, if you think about it, if you pay for Apple music, you don't have a big reason to pay for Spotify. You know, this is a one or the other thing that's that's kind of the definition of competition. So here's here's the thing it says it's unlikely or the sources claim that Apple music is expanding more rapidly to the in the US and the rate about 2.6 to 3% Spotify's growth rate is reportedly 1.5 to 2% is unlikely that Apple will claim this as a victory because it likes Spotify doesn't publicly break out regional subscriber counts. However, if these estimates are accurate, they show that US customers are embracing Apple music as much as and possibly more than Spotify. But the numbers in the report only reflect paid US subscribers Spotify and which claim 207 million active users globally in December remains the leader of music streaming of those 207 million users 96 millions are paid subscribers or users currently in a trial that will lead to a subscription. Unlike Apple music, Spotify has a free ad supported tier. Globally, Apple music has 50 million pay subscribers. Therefore, the numbers in this report show that more than half of Apple music subscriber count comes from the United States. So yeah, that's a good point that, you know, Spotify has the free ad supported model that Apple doesn't. So, you know, Apple's numbers are pretty cut and dry. There's there aren't many trial numbers. There aren't any aren't many people that are in flux. It's you either paying for it or you're not, even though Apple music probably does provide a trial. Now this comes on. There's some other news that I'm not talking about in this story. But now Spotify is removing their support. They're not going to not removing Spotify is not going to include their service in Apple music plus in their I'm sorry, their Apple TV plus thing. You know how I talked about this on my video. I don't know if I talked about on tech talk. I did a video on the Apple press conference and Apple TV plus is going to include the ability to bring in things like Hulu and CBS access, all access and consolidate them under one umbrella, which is really cool if you use multiple services. Netflix is not going to be a part of that. And the reason why is Netflix is came is claiming that they have. Well, the official word on the site is it's a technical limitation. But the real reason that Netflix is surprised is providing is that Apple TV plus and their current iteration do not provide the making model of the smart TVs they're deploying to because if you remember correctly, Apple the Apple TV announcement included smart TVs, which is a big deal because, you know, that's a big market these days. And they don't report to make a model. So Netflix is like, we can't certify that these are that these are certified devices. We can't certify the devices. So we're going to pull it completely. It's getting really, really tense between these two. I mean, to me, that's a very weak reason to pull it completely. Sure, that's a technical limitation that, you know, can be addressed at some point. But in other services, I don't know if that's enough reason to pull the app completely from Apple TV. It's getting tense. And I made this statement. And I think in our discord, I was saying that I have a feeling that this is going to start to bleed over into iOS as well. I really have a feeling that if you want to use Spotify, you're going to have to use Android real soon. Spotify is not pulling the punches.  And you can tell they spent millions of marketing dollars on this. This is some professionally made hatred of Apple because of the Apple Apple's tax on the iTunes app store. Spotify is not happy with the way things are run. Apple is basically saying, well, you you're getting what you pay for. You got to you got a freemium app and you can't expect not to pay anything. And blah, blah, blah. They're going back and forth back and forth.  This is just another tale in that story. We're going to be watching this one closely. I imagine there will be an Apple Spotify story, at least twice a month on tech talk of Warner as we follow this news. Check it out, guys. Over on ours, Technic.com. They got the details. Apparently more people pay for Apple music in the U.S. And that looks to be it looks to be the future of the service for Apple music, but Spotify still maintains the worldwide lead. And for the next story, we're going to talk about Google. If you use Google services, you might want to pay attention because Google is about to axe a bunch of stuff. According to this article over on PC World, no joke, Google is killing off the Pixel 2 inbox. The Google URL shortener and Google Plus all this week is true is true. And this is the first sort of the first story. I'm sorry, the first sentence in this story is so true. This is what caught my attention. It says, if there's one thing Google doesn't joke about, it's the killing office products. I know I've been a victim of getting attached to many Google products and having them just basically yank from me. Google reader comes to mind. Anyone? Anyone? As someone who reports and consumes a lot of news on both gaming and news fronts, Google readers might want to stop shop for RSS new aggregation. And they just, really, for the life of me, it boggles my mind that they removed that product because it was one of their better products, if not their best product I've ever used. I don't use a lot of Google services anymore. Matter of fact, I don't think I use any anymore. I've migrated off of all of them for such reason because they have a track record of removing things that I get attached to. But anyway, let's start with the Pixel. The Pixel 2 and the Pixel 2 XL, they've been out for a while. Now Google is selling the Pixel 3 and the 3 XL, but the Pixel 2, it has a pretty good following. People think they're good phones and you can get them at discounted prices, but they're going to be stopped. They're going to be stopping the selling of these. These are going to be stopped. They're going to be yanked through their online store. So if you still, you'll still be able to find some for a while because companies and brick and mortar especially will probably have some remaining stock. And of course, there's eBay where somebody's going to buy up all that remaining stock and sell them for a premium. You got to get in before you want that to happen. So the Pixel 2 and the Pixel 2 XL. And then there's Inbox, which was a reimagining of the Gmail app. And I actually liked it because it put things in a task-based light. Everything was task-focused. And I got used to it after a while. But then I got wind that it was going away like a long time ago. It was like, you could tell they started pulling it away.  And I was like, well, I'm going to stop using this because I know they're going to yank it. And sure enough, I was correct. They did, however, move some of the features over to Gmail. Some of the styling features and the look and feel of Inbox kind of make their way to Gmail, which people didn't like.  I don't have a problem with white space as long as the information I need is readily available and easy to see. But anyway, and then Google URL shortener, which I've used a couple of times. I tend to stick with Bitly, but Google's URL shortener, which came out in 2009. It's been 10 years, but apparently people haven't been using it. I don't know, man. I guess Bitly has cornered and captured that market. Yeah, that's something right there. And then finally, Google Plus. This is the big dog right here because not only was Google Plus their next step in social networking and their answer to Facebook, and Twitter, and everybody else, but they integrated Google Plus into YouTube so much so that it broke the site. It broke so much about YouTube and it broke a lot of other services as well. And I think the part that affected me the most is that when they started removing it, YouTube just stopped working. A lot of things just weren't right. You weren't getting notified. Your subscriber boxes would, they'd be gone and your comments would stop working and the site was just one load sometimes. It was like a good three or four months where the site just was broken. I was like, what's going on? And it started to get a little bit better. I think Google is recovering, but Google Plus has officially sunset it. I believe as of April 4th, it was a few days ago, but it's gone now. They did email me some options about getting my data off of there. I really didn't care. I started using Google Plus and I liked it, but again, I caught wind of the end. I'm starting to learn what Google does and how they do things and when things are gonna go. And I caught wind of that.  So pretty much that's a lot of services just going away in one week.  So Google continues to act services. So be careful. If you find yourself using something from Google, especially one of their newer products, you need to look for the signs because they don't have a problem just completely killing it off. Check it out guys, over on pcworld.com. They got the details.  And for our next story, we're gonna talk about antivirus and on your mobile phone. We're gonna talk about Stalkerware, Stalkerware. And this came by wayofcnet.com and Kapursky Lab has said that they will warn you now if your phone is infected with Stalkerware. Yeah, so on Wednesday, they said that they will start flagging Stalkerware as malicious and warn people through is Android app when Stalkerware is installed on their phones in 2018, according to their article, they detected on Stalkerware on 58,487 mobile devices. In the grand scheme of things, that's not a ton. That's not a super high amount. But it's still something to raise an eyebrow and be concerned about. So the first thing I thought was, what about iOS?  And they were like, no, they said that the protection is available on Android devices because Stalkerware isn't as prevalent on iOS. There we go again. Mac has no viruses. Well, wow, because nobody uses Mac. That's why Mac has no viruses. Well, that's why we don't have viruses because nobody wants to use a good computer. You know, the nerd argument continues. I have some memories of Mac versus PC arguments. It's pretty funny. So Symantec, the company that owns Norton said it also blocks spyware and Stalkerware, which the software considers malicious. One type of protection it offers is flagging when location information is being sent from apps, said Symantec person. Malware bites also said that they are going to be doing it. Lookout, a mobile security app, says it's been tackling a serious security threat. We've been flagging and fighting this kind of spouseware, Stalkerware, at Lookout for years, as it is a constant problem in the mobile security space. So yeah, a bunch of people are chiming in on this because it's becoming an issue. And you'll see the stuff on TV, you know? And I'm one of those people that, when you start to see things on TV shows and stuff, that means it's probably already been happening for five to 10 years. It's like when you watch NCIS and you watch like, you know, any type of spy show or somebody's snooping on a mobile device using Bluetooth or somebody's using some kind of a back door, it's probably been used for by five to 10 years in a real world, maybe 20. If you start to see it on TV, it's like, well, it's on TV. That means, yeah, it's been happening for years. That's how I feel. So yeah, the subscription plans are $68 a month, by the way. That's where the, oh, I'm sorry. I thought this was a Kipursky subscription plan. Scratch that. This is stalkerwares. They were talking about the stalkerware you can buy on the internet. They have plans at $68 a month or something like that. So people pay for this stuff to essentially install these malware apps on your phone and they can track your microphone, what does it say?  It's pretty much a total snooping thing that's happening on, according to Kipursky, more on Android than anything else. Which doesn't surprise me, you know, given the nature of Android. I tell people this all the time, it's a trade-off. You know, you get the openness of Android and the Android community and you get a lot of freedoms for what that freedoms comes a lot of risks.  You know, so you got to pick and choose and people, I hope people are aware of this now that when you choose your garden, you need to be aware of the risks. Do you want to risk this stuff or not? Am I saying Apple and iOS doesn't have viruses? It does. Anybody with an inkling of technology will tell you, yes, macOS has a ton of viruses and yes, iOS has a ton of viruses and malware as well. But when you compare it to, you know, I think it's safe to say Android's going to come on on top. Especially when recently, stories come out about a lot of apps and spyware. I think they talk about them when I'm on this show. You know, government spyware, I think I talked about that last week or the week before, you know, apps that were up on the Android Store that had backdoors and root kits and viruses and spyware on them, which were sanctioned by governments. Check it out, guys. Over on CDAT.com, they got the details. Do you have stalkerware on your Android device? If you do, Kapersky Lab will warn you if you do and other antivirus providers are doing it as well. And for our final story, we're going to talk about the gray state that I live in in Florida, otherwise known as the Sunshine State because the sunshine's a lot here. This comes by way of floorthtrend.com. Florida Power and Light, FPL, one of the energy providers here, announces plans to build the world's largest solar powered battery. That's right. The largest solar powered battery. The future FPL manatee energy storage centers will have 409 megawatts of capacity. To put that in layman's terms in a perspective, this is the equivalent of approximately a hundred million iPhone batteries. So when it begins serving customers in late 2021, and will be charged by an existing FPL solar power plant. Now, this is pretty cool because, you know, solar power as we all know, if you even played video games where you have solar power, you know, you got to deal with the situations where the sun's not out. And most times you store that energy into batteries to be used during night, during nightfall or during like cloudy days or something like that or during storms where the sun is not as prevalent. Here's another quote from the CEO. He says, even as we aggressively scale on our plan to install 30 million solar panels by 2030, that is a lot of the panels. We never lose sight of finding innovative ways to bring our customers the benefits of solar energy even when the sun's not shining. Replacing a large aging fossil fuel plant with a mega battery that's adjacent to a large solar plant is another world's first accomplishment while I'm very pleased with that fact. And what I'm most proud of is that our team remain committed to developing this clean energy breakthrough while saving customers money and keeping their bills amongst the lowest in the nation. Well, I don't know about that last part, the last time I checked for a PL. Y'all charged a little bit over there. I haven't been on a PL in a while, but I remember growing up in, you know, they serviced my house when I was growing up. So yeah, it's going to be a pretty big battery, pretty big battery that's going to be installed and available to customers in late 2021. So about two years from now, more than two years from now. Pretty cool. I like solar energy. I really do. I've been, you know, there's a lot of companies here and a lot of incentives and tax breaks to get solar energy installed. And it does cut your power bill by a great deal. The problem is the startup costs. And I think anybody who can tell you this, you know, investing in a decent and reliable company to install the panels and get everything up and running can be a nightmare sometimes, especially with a lot of scams. If you ever live in Florida, you know, there's scammers like to come here. This is where they live. It's a scamp central right here. So you have to be careful that you don't get a bad company. And you got to be able to take care of those startup costs. There's people that'll help you with the startup costs, but again, those can be scams as well. So we're hoping that solar power takes off here in Florida, the Sunshine State. Check it out, guys. FloridaTrend.com, they got the details. FPL, it's got to build a big battery powered by solar power, the Sunshine State. With the sun. Yes. And that concludes episode 299 of Tech Talk with Buona. Thank you for listening to the show.

Hey everyone I'm Broogly and today I'm going to be checking out Negative Backroom's Level Exclamation Mark which is a newly discovered sub-level of the famous normal level exclamation mark and it's pretty much the opposite but in a good way. I think y'all are going to enjoy so let's get into the explanation shall we? So Backroom's level negative exclamation mark is classified as a class 3 and is still unsafe and unsecure but instead of being infested with entities it's actually got a low entity count. Now this level is named actually the Reversed Hospital and it looks like a long blue hallway with bright blue lights in the roof. The hallway itself is around 12 miles long or 20 kilometers so it's actually a little longer than level run for your life. But that's not a huge problem since you don't have terrifying monsters chasing you. On both the left and the right sides of the hallway there are doorways. Most of them are locked but occasionally you'll run across one that's not locked and it's just open and if you go in there you'll see a very liminal looking hospital room. These rooms are said to look just like ones you'd see in real life in a doctor's office or a hospital and they've got beds and couches and sometimes even TVs but they actually don't have any medical equipment which is pretty strange. Now in some of the rooms there are actually windows on the opposite sides of the wall from the doorway but it's not recommended to go near those because they could be window entities so unless you want to get sucked in don't go near. Now in these rooms there are some cabinets with a few small supplies like first aid kits and gauze and that kind of thing but there's also some pretty strange stuff there as well. Specifically there are weird pills that are in these cabinets and in these containers that aren't like ones from real life so they're not like Tylenol or anything. They'll be weirdly named and shaped and they'll have strange effects on you if you take them. I don't know why you'd take a random looking pill but whatever. Some people have said they feel an extra urge to take them even if they've never taken one of these pills or not they feel like they should and on top of that wanderers who have actually used these pills have never been seen to escape the level and have actually never been seen again so I would not recommend taking them. Now alongside the med kits and the cabinets there might also be some almond water or even some liquid pain and there's even a chance to find cashew water and royal rations so pretty much as long as you play it cool you're gonna be fine in these rooms. Just don't drink liquid pain and don't take mystery pills. Now adult facelings are pretty common on this level but they don't just wander around randomly like most facelings they're actually dressed up in doctors and nurses outfits and they walk around kind of like they're in a real hospital and when they're in this state they're not dangerous at all they're literally so docile and friendly that you could probably just punch one of them and they wouldn't do anything but there's still something dangerous about them. Even when they're being nice they still try to bring those mystery pills that I just talked about to you. Any person they see they'll bring these pills to and they'll try to get you to take them so whatever you do whatever you got to do just ignore them do not take them but these facelings aren't just running around like doctors all day though because there's actually an event that happens on this level that I'll talk about in a second where it can actually get pretty dangerous not as dangerous as the main level exclamation mark but still pretty deadly when you first get to this level you'll get a sense of peace and you'll feel really safe to be honest like nothing could get you you'll actually be the only person on this level when you're here just like the main part of level exclamation mark because only one person can be here at a time but the level isn't just sunshine and rainbows and I'll get into that now for example any communications like radios and Wi-Fi and that kind of thing none of it works here like no technology at all will work in this level also parts of the ceiling are falling down and decaying and some of the tiles above you could just fall on your head so watch out for that but none of that compares to the event that happens here called the blackout which is pretty much where all the lights randomly shut off now this blackout effect actually happens on other back rooms levels as well like level 33 it's unknown why it happens but it could mean that the back rooms are tied to the same power source or something like that who knows we haven't even documented it yet but anyways the lights will just randomly shut off and the facelings that were nice earlier will start chasing you and being super aggressive on top of that if you're in one of those hospital rooms that I talked about the door will shut and it'll lock you in there until the blackout ends outside of the rooms the facelings will start to become aggressive and start chasing you and unless you have a flashlight they won't stop chasing you that's the only way you can ward them off plus you're gonna need a flashlight if you want to see anything because when the blackout happens it's dark there are also a couple more entities here but these are rarely seen but it's still good to note them there's an occasional skin stealer even a smiler or a hound can be seen as well and also the window entities from the rooms and during the blackout part of this level those entities also seem to come out of nowhere to chase you so just be careful and be vigilant and you should be alright so just like the normal level exclamation mark there is an exit door at the end of the hallway so that's where you're gonna want to go as fast as you can don't dilly dally around don't waste any time walk the length of the hallway to get to the end there are other exits however like you can no clip into a door to be sent to level exclamation mark which would be terrible and sometimes you can no clip through the floor itself to be sent to level 11 which is a pretty good way to go to be honest now if you go through the exit door at the end of the hallway you'll just be sent to a random level however most people have claimed that you'll be sent to only a safe level that's not confirmed but that's what people think now to enter this level there's a chance you can go through the exit door on the regular level exclamation mark to be sent here or you can run save me.exe on a computer in the ends library to be sent here so yeah this is a blue light hospital hallway type area that's pretty safe until all the lights go out and entities start chasing you it's like a slightly more safe version of the normal level exclamation mark with its own unique dangers like the random medicine and the facelings and the window entities pretty cool let me know what you thought of it down below that's it for the video thank you so much for watching let me know what levels you want me to go over and leave a comment telling me which ones you'd like to see and if you are down there commenting go ahead and comment exclamation mark brugli exclamation mark so I know that you watched the end and if you did that I'll throw a heart at your comment like always as a thank you to you also check out my second and third channels Tugli and Spoogey now Tugli is where I upload and stream all the time I get reaction videos up there gaming videos up there vods up there it's a great time and Spoogey is where I upload more creepy scp stuff and internet mystery type of things so if you want more creepy stuff of me you love Spoogey thank you so much for your support I love and appreciate all of you thank you so much for supporting the brugli channel and all my channels and thank you for supporting me thank you so much everybody and I'll see you later


We're picking up more of these pipes or a drainage tile and we're bringing them to Dauphin Manitoba which is on the west side of the province and then we'll see what happens from there. It's Friday so you can't deliver anywhere on the weekend because everything's closed. Chances are I'll probably be going home tonight but I made myself available over the weekend if they have work. We'll see what happens. We'll probably find out later this afternoon. I'm pulling the same type of stuff that I was in yesterday's video and I'm sure a lot of you answered my question as to what that material is for over the pipes but I actually asked the guy who was installing it yesterday and he actually says that that's what they put over the pipes in sandy areas. It keeps the sand from getting into the pipes then clogging it up underground. If the ground isn't very sandy you don't need to wrap it in that white material. That's obviously more expensive to do it like that. It's more material so I don't know how much all this costs but it's got to be pretty. The farmer's field again. We're up here near Dauphin Manitoba a little further down here. I'm turning off of Highway 5 south onto 582 I believe this is. Yes I missed my turn on the way up. 582 also goes around to... Oh and it's gravel. Of course it is. I'm sorry old blue. I'm sorry. I didn't know. Let's try to keep the dust on the outside. What was I saying? Yeah the 582 comes around this way and meets up with the five back over there right? I missed that turn so here we are. That's Turtle Mountain over there. Manitoba has a mountain believe it or not. Can you see it? I know I can hardly see it but it's our mountain. Don't deny us our mountain. It's a mountain. We actually we literally call it isn't it Turtle Mountain? That is a Manitoba mountain. It is a very large hill that identifies as a mountain so I have volunteered for some weekend work and some weekend work has come down the pike for me. We're headed out to the Edmonton area. I have to do a recovery a trailer recovery one of our guys broke down in Saskatoon. It's a van trailer. I got to go recover the van trailer. It has a load in it that's going to Edmonton area there. Recover the trailer tomorrow and deliver it first thing Monday morning. I have to recover tomorrow though because usually I could go Sunday right? But for whatever reason which I'm sure I'll understand more once I get there. I have to be there between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. I think to get this trailer. It's probably inside like a locked yard or something. So go get the trailer tomorrow and we'll meander our way out to Edmonton.  I'll probably be back on Tuesday and then we can continue on with the week then. That's a lot of dust being kicked up behind me. Thanks so much for the clean truck. It's been gravel roads every day diesel. Life in Manitoba. I swear most of our roads are paved. The main ones are. Now all of these grid roads like I've said before are all built in square miles. So I got to turn right here and go half a mile that way. So halfway to the next main road and there should be a road there for some reason.  That's the road I would have come down if I went the right way. Diesel can you get down please? I need to see. Thank you very much. Thank you. You listen so well. Thank you.  He usually just hits the deck. Just boom. I guess I've trained him in the past that when I need to see I need to see now. Good boy Diesel. Thank you. Oh it must be nice to own these properties back here. All that privacy. Though you got to go way down a gravel road to get to your house then but still just the peace and quiet. It's okay Diesel I know you don't like gravel roads.  Ginge up your paint you pooch walk man. Don't worry about it Diesel. It's okay. We got to do it. We got to do it. You got to make money in order to pay for it. In order to make money we got to go down the gravel road.  I know right that's the problem. Oh Diesel. Cows. Cows. Oh my goodness. Look at all the cows. They're looking at you. They're looking at you. You want to say hi? You want to say hi? Hello cows. My name's Diesel. Who are you? What's your name? Quiet bunch. Oh see you later man. Was your buddies there Diesel? Why wouldn't you tell me their name man? Because they know there's beef in your dog food. That's why. You don't say. Close that window now okay so we don't get too much dust in here. Field should be. Diesel. More cows. More cows. Oh my goodness. Holy spokes man. Look at all the brown cows. White cows. Black cows. Oh my goodness. Hey guys. Moo. I didn't know you spoke cow Diesel. Been practicing. Look at that eh. That one's getting down. He's coming man. Oh he look delicious. Diesel. Here they are up ahead on the left. There's no one here to help me with this one so I got to get these unloaded myself. How do I get on to the field? Where's the access? I need to get in there. I want to just drive through there and get myself stuck way out here in the middle of nowhere. Do I even have cell service? Oh yeah we have cell service at least. Okay how do we get there? I see I see. Oh here. That's how they okay. Okay okay okay. They're not sink in. Myself said I'm sort of facing up like this. So it's easier to push them off. Right here Diesel. Does that look good to you? Let's go see. Let everyone know that I am here and I will be unloading cargo. You think I could go get you my cow frame and bring my cow frame here? I think they got to stay in their pen. I don't think they can I don't think they can come here Diesel. Sorry man. And I'm not letting you go play in their pen okay.  No it's not those kind of pies either. I know you. You'd go straight for it and shove your face in it. Okay let's take a look at everything here. Figure out how we're gonna do this. You think you can jump out without your steps? Every now and then I like them to do that just in case. Come on bud. It's not like it's a long way down.  Oh man. Alright Diesel. Alright well there she is. Oh you can see that they've settled in pretty pretty good eh. I got that flat spot on the bottom. What you find in there Diesel? Hey don't eat. No no no no don't eat anything here. Do not eat anything okay. You know what? Let's put you back in the truck okay. I don't know what chemicals they spray on here just thought of that. Just thought of that. Diesel come on. Up in the truck. Come. Come on buddy. You did finish right? Come on. Up up up. Oh jeez. You can do it bud. I believe in you. Up in the truck. Up up. Yeah good boy. You still got it. Good boy. I'm gonna go unload now okay. I'll be a little while. You got something in your mouth? Diesel come on. Stop chewing on the grass. That's not salad. Okay I hope I've got you hidden away well enough from the wind. It's a little windy out here. I think that last one will be pretty simple but the rest of them might need a little convincing. I'm gonna release the air in the suspension in the trailer so that gives a little bit more of a competitive edge.  Really big flat spot on the bottom. I can't push that over so we're gonna have to rely on the help of what is it Newton's law? An object in motion. Must stay in motion. I'm gonna try to drop it right here between all of these. Well I saw something I practiced every day so it probably wasn't the best that but I'm getting better. You know I got one more to do. I think I got a pretty good rhythm. Come back fast in reverse high. You come back and then you ease into the brakes. You don't have to slam on the brakes. Ease into the brakes then come to an abrupt stop. Let it start rolling backwards. Put it in forward gear. Put it in driver. Second and then just as about stop rolling start rolling forward and then the momentum will carry back off the back onto the field. This is something you can only do when you have this much space to work with. Literally a quarter mile square I believe is what these fields are. All of this is made empty and they just said put it on the field somewhere. They're on the field somewhere. Now I gotta get that top one off. I'd be more careful with that one. Don't want it to roll forward. It's a little hard on old blue admittedly but it was a little bit fun. That's how fun. Yeah oh we got it unloaded and I didn't pull any muscles or break my back. So we'll just roll up our straps now and head all back to the yard. I gotta drop this trailer in the yard and I'm gonna be bob tailing to Saskatoon. I believe I'm gonna be leaving tonight. Bob tailing all the way there. Grab the trailer and then continue to Edmonton from there. If you're wondering I cut my finger on a can lid this morning because I had those soup cans. I made myself soup last night right?  Now that little soup can cut me. Good thing it's on a finger that it's kind of useless. This one's the important one. Diesel you want to roll up the straps for me? I've been doing all the work today again. The cut is very small that I got from that can. Very very small. I've just been putting a little bit of alcohol on it or well sanitizer and sanitizer. Just something to clean it in. What's on fire? Can you see the flames? Because I can feel them. Nice. No infections going on in there. You ready to go Diesel? You ready? Wait are my sunglasses? Oh shoot I did leave in here. Good thing I remembered that. I want to switch these out. Take off my regular glasses. Put on my sunglasses. Okay much better. Much better. Can you see me? Can you see me? Much better. Much better. Are you guys sitting on there crooked? Hey straighten up. There you go. Very nice. You guys are looking great. Okay let's get off this field. So that was a fun delivery. Karen won't interrupt me. That was fun. Glad I don't have to do that all the time but I have to get back to the pavement. Way more gravel road. That was like 20 miles of gravel road. Not doing that again. Next time we're going the long way around but just there on the right we're waving at me as they passed me so you guys are in the vlog now. I was gonna try to get up beside you but these vans got in my way. Thanks for watching today guys. It was fun unloading those rolls. I tried to film more of the unloading process but I kept putting the camera in the wrong spots and completely missing the shot so while I would like back up and then stop and the thing would roll off the camera was like facing over here and I was over here. My bad. I'm sorry. I tried my best. This is what it is. I'm an amateur. This isn't a professional production. This is an amateur production. That's the point of it. It's a vlog. It's real life. This is my life every day so if you haven't already hit that subscribe button. It really does help me hit that like button. We went back to the yard, dropped that flatbed off and Bobtailed back to I think it's Cruella Manitoba. It's right at the Saskatchewan border. You'll see tomorrow morning in tomorrow's vlog. We're right at the Saskatchewan border. We're going to Bobtail up to Saskatoon. Excuse me. It's been a long day. Bobtailed to Saskatoon. Grab a van trailer that needs to be recovered because a truck broke down there and we're going to pull that load to Edmonton and deliver that Monday morning. It should be fun. Thanks for hanging out everybody. See you right back here tomorrow.

Yr ystyried yma, roi bod yna'n ysgrifennu'n gweithio. is that we all know when there will be plenty of comments down below that a head-to-head driver test should effectively produce exactly the same results in terms of distance with the same shaft in. So first of all I want to see if that is the case and it should be and secondly if there's any differences in terms of forgiveness, they're the major differences. I'll carry on hitting balls, we'll collect plenty of data with this and we'll switch over into that new ST model. So in terms of head profiles they're very very similar, they're a totally different finish and again this new matte finish that they've got in the ST I think looks superb. But in essence the shaping of the club is very very similar but in the back weighting there's a lot more prevalent in the ST. So it becomes a lot less sleek at this back end if I just spin those round for your hand. You can perhaps see there, does that work? You can perhaps see there how the profile has changed quite significantly into the new ST model. Righto, ST model in, like I said, exactly the same setting, exactly the same shaft. Will we get exactly the same results? And I can say that so far the row performed really really well. Now one thing that is noticeable straight away is that sort of soft feel, softer sound has been enhanced a little bit more into the ST model.  We do reviews of the Ping G425 and in here it's like a gunshot going off. And a lot of people comment that they really don't care what a driver sounds like, it's all about what it does down range and I understand that, totally get it right. But for me if I was choosing based on a sound what I want to hear then the row ST has got its spot on this year. It's like I said, it's soft enough but it feels like it's trampolining out there and visually it launches the ball incredibly high as well. So I'd be interested to see how in terms of the data the average is stacked up but visually it looks like the height, the peak height of the ST seems to be a heck of a lot higher and a lot easier to launch than that of the standard row. It's hard to split the names all the time. Right so it's time for some feedback from yourselves. This row has now been out in the stores to try so I want to know if you've tried it and what you think of it or be the other thing is where is it on your sort of wish list in terms of the drivers that are out right now. Obviously all the releases I think are pretty much done now for the year so if you are thinking of changing your driver now is the time to make your mind up and I want to know what you're thinking where you're at. Or I'll turn to one more comment asking for a lot of you if you're a current row user of two years ago are you considering swapping into the row ST. Lot of questions hopefully we get a lot of feedback in the comments. Right it's okay short and sweet I always think these heads to heads are very simple affairs really we just want to know it's indoors, it's data led, it's not about opinions it's about what the data tells us. So from a feeling perspective you know that it's maybe a little bit softer better feeling what I think now in terms of numbers is really interesting and there is clear separation between these two. I'll throw up the two sets of averages the first numbers I want to start with are not the normal thing which we're all interested in is carry distance and perhaps ball speeds, peak height and launch angle. 13.9 degrees in terms of launch angle with the ST 13.3 with the with the rogue standard and that 90 feet and 81 feet of peak height that sort of backed up what I saw which is what I like to see in the data. The ST definitely launched that ball that bit higher and maybe does it a little bit easier and they're the kind of things I look for because I think it's what a lot of average golfers need help and assistance with in terms of getting that ball up and airborne with slower swing speed particularly with driver in hand. But then obviously the interesting thing then is about ball speeds and carry distance. Now we know that in terms of legislation that what should be happening is that ball speeds are the same of every driver head. That's what we're sort of suggesting right out of the middle same swing speed should be identical in terms of carry distance and ball speeds. Well ball speeds at least anyway. Carry distance will be impacted on in terms of launch angle and spin number and all of the things that go together and that's how you really get custom fit and choose the optimum product for you. What I found really interesting was that we kept all things fairly standard same loft, same shaft, same club head swing speed and we still see what I would suggest is significant differences. So 145 to 148 ball speed three mile an hour is significant. It's a big, big leap. The spin number may be a couple of hundred revs higher in terms of the rogue, the older rogue and that will have impacted definitely on that carry distance but 237 and 245, eight yards difference in carry. But the big deal really was if you look along the full list of shots is just how far. I was a bit more I'd say ropey inconsistent today in terms of the way I was hitting the ball but the sort of 254, 251 balls two of them. I'm not really getting anywhere near that distance with any of the rogue shots that I talk. So for me, I'm always happy to be, you know, if we don't think drivers are different then I'm happy to go with that drivers aren't any different. But when I see numbers like that there is a clear difference between these two heads and shaft combinations in my hands. One for me is clearly better than the other. And if I was choosing driver A or driver B then it seems to me it's fairly obvious gains to be made in one of them. So I'm always a believer in, like I said, there's gains to be made but maybe it's just about getting driver head shaft combinations that are best suited to you. Right, that's it. Really interesting one for me. Again, the numbers that came out were quite surprising but the performance of the Callaway ST is so impressive and definitely the driver that I think you'll find is in my bag for this year. Anyway, you know I asked for the comments earlier on. Give me your feedback, let me know what you think and let me know what you think about these results. Anyway, as ever, thank you for watching and I will see you all very, very soon.


Well, the belief in sickness is of the ego. And you know that this is a lifelong practice with releasing the ego completely. So what seems to be illness in the body is really a projection of guilt in the mind. And when the mind is guilty, it literally tells the body not to feel well. Guilt is not a loving or peaceful emotion. And the ego uses many tricks to try to see the problem where the problem is not. So that's part of the way that the ego convinces you that you are frail and tiny and small. Is this experience of not feeling well in the body? The first thing to do is to remember that, ah, I must work with my thoughts. I will not let this evidence of symptoms convince me of who I am. In one sense, you do have to allow yourself to feel anything that you are feeling. You can't judge the feeling. And also to look for what is the lesson in this experience. What is the positive lesson? What is this meant to show me? Jesus tells us that sickness is function unfulfilled. So then actually sickness properly perceived is pointing us back to function.


So, if we go back and we think about the sky dome, and I'm going to do this little diagram of this is the sky dome that we've talked about in the textbook and in the class, and this is going to be the ground, right? So we have the sky dome, and you can kind of see that, you know, the, this dome that we have could be, is this, is a hemisphere, first of all, and we could project that dome onto multiple different surfaces. So the first projection that we will do is, is going to be orthographic, okay? And essentially an orthographic projection is going to be what happens if I were to try to take a flat piece of paper, maybe like a cylinder of paper, and I were to try to wrap that cylinder around, right around this sky dome, right? So I'm going to have, everybody see the cylinder that's wrapping around? So I'm going to want to project points onto that flat surface, and ultimately that flat surface is going to be printed out, and we're going to have our basis for our sun charts in terms of the azimuth angle, right? So the rotation along here along the, the planar rotation along the horizontal is the azimuth angle, and the angle from the ground up, the vertical rotation is going to be the altitude angle, right? Of course the complement of that, if we were talking about the sun, would be the zenith angle, which is why we could represent this as 0 to 90 and 90 down to 0 with the zenith angle. We have two conventions for plotting the azimuth angle, the one, excuse me, the one is to make east negative, so we can go negative 180 degrees and west positive 180 degrees, where this 0 is pointed at the equator, right? Of course the alternate is to begin in the north with 0 degrees and to work your way clockwise to all the way around to 360 degrees, in which case south, not the equator, is going to be positive 180 degrees. Now this is the convention that a lot of the solar world has used for some time, however this is the standard convention that has been established through meteorology, so we tend to use both flexibly, but just know that in general the 360 degrees is an accepted standard, all right? So if we then go to the next page and we think about that same sky dome, and got our ground, and instead of trying to project it off to the side, we are effectively lying on the ground and we are going to project upwards, and this way the azimuth angles are rotating around in a circle just like the azimuth angles would be doing here on the ground. The altitude angles, however, are going to be represented as arcs where the higher in the sky you are, the closer to the center of the circle, and how do we see that? Well we look at it like this, and we are going to start to see the center point, I am going to put south here, we know that south is in the northern hemisphere where the sun is at its highest point, so we are going to see arcs in the sky that look like this, going from, in our case, east to west, this is going to be summer time, this is going to be winter time, when the sun is low in the sky versus high in the sky. So here is going to be an alpha of 90 degrees, and the ring around the bottom is going to be an alpha of 0 degrees. It's a little different plot, the lines are going to be flipped from what you are used to in orthographic projection, but you can do both of these at the Oregon site for sun plots.
