Hey y'all, what's up? My name is Sinali. Welcome to a new vlog. If you guys are new to my channel, definitely hit that subscribe button because I have made it a goal of mine to try to hit 25k by November 25th, which is my birthday. So if you like my content, definitely subscribe. It is currently 7pm. I had every intention of starting this vlog way earlier in the day, but then I was just like, you know what, I'm just going to take this day to have like a little chill day, not really doing too much work because I only work Monday through Thursday at my like part-time job, which is like my real job. If you guys don't know, I do videography and photography on the side and grad season is just now like slowing down.  So that is kind of like slowing down. So I just kind of wanted to give myself like a little bit of a break. And I took a nap today, which was super nice and I just watched like a lot of YouTube. So there wasn't really too much to vlog, but tonight is day night, so I wanted to start off the vlog here. We're going to go get unlimited sushi at Sushi Genai. If y'all live in Austin or are visiting, I highly recommend coming to Sushi Genai because in the limited deal, it's like $32 or something, which is like definitely a splurge. Like we don't do it all the time, but it is such a good price for what you get because you are able to get like sashimi, maybe not sashimi, but I definitely know you're able to get nigiri and like all the specialty rolls. So like most of the time when you have like unlimited sushi, it's like at, you know, not the nicest buffet or like the rolls are just not the specialty rolls, but this place like you can literally get anything off the menu. It's crazy. So I'm really excited and I have on my flowy dress so I can eat as much as I want. This is my outfit of the night. I have just this long casual black dress, but I feel like Ryan was like, wow, you look fancy, but it's just kind of like a summer dress. It has like the ruching on the top. I just got this from Forever 21 and same with my shoes. I really like these because they have like a low heel. So yeah, that is my outfit of the night. Good morning y'all. It is Saturday. I didn't really vlog last night because I actually forgot that I was vlogging except that I got the sushi shots. It was so good. It was so good.  I think we might go shopping today. We don't really have any plans. I wanted to go to the pool at first, but then I was like, you know what? I need to put on makeup and do some like content stuff, which I always say that and then whenever I put on makeup, I'm just like, dang, I need to like edit the videos I have before I like make more videos. Me and Ryan are actually going to go back home to Georgia later this month. So I wanted to like pre-film a lot so I can like post while I'm there in Georgia. Like I'll definitely do vlogs there, but just like my sit-down videos and stuff. Ryan's out playing golf right now, so it gives me time to work on my stuff, which is nice. I like encourage him to go to golf because I feel like whenever he is home, like I get so distracted just because I want to like hang out with him or just like nap. But it is so nice outside. Like I don't know what temperature it is, but it is beautiful and especially on my porch because it's like obviously in the shade. It feels so great. So I'm going to go work out there and figure out what I actually need to film and like what I need to edit, just kind of organize my life because I definitely want to post more. Also, last night I was talking to Ryan and I was like, I have so many like funny, weird like crazy photography stories and I don't know like if I should do a story time of them or like what? I don't know if like story times are even a thing anymore.  I feel like I have a lot of knowledge in it, so I definitely like want to post more of those kind of videos, but just let me know what y'all think. Don't mind Sophie looking a little bit crusty. She needs a bath today or tomorrow, but Sophie actually lost a tooth. Show them. There's like a little gap in between her teeth right there.  It was so wiggly and we just like looked at it one day and it was just not there. This is my setup. I got this little rocking chair thing. It actually like swings back and forth from Walmart and I'll try to link it down below. I'm not sure if they still have it, but it's really nice. And then I have this little, I thought it was going to be more of like a puff, but it is like hard plastic, but it still does the job and then this one actually came with that. So that's just like kind of like a coffee table. I feel like I definitely want to revamp the patio when I get the chance, but for now this will do and Sophie joined me. I'm so proud of myself. I edited a whole video and did like some animations, which was great and now I'm just doing the thumbnail and I saw this on, I want to say TikTok. I feel like it was TikTok or Twitter or something like that, but I just wanted to show this little tip that I learned. So basically when I make my thumbnails, I'm usually cutting something out, whether that's me or like an object that I took a picture of, like a glass of wine or something. Then I'll take that object and put it on like another picture or like a background that I found on Google, which is the case this time or that's what I'm thinking. We'll see how it looks. I'm going to show you guys a really easy way to cut yourself out like that. I have this picture right here and this is background layer. I'm going to tap it twice, like click it twice and just press okay. That makes it a layer. I have to go to the toolbar and you'll usually see this. This is most likely like the default click selection tool, but if you hold it down, you will see other options and we're going to click this object selection tool and basically you literally just like click and drag on the object that you want to cut out and it literally selects everything for you. I don't know if you can see that well enough.  Sorry, it's like kind of loud. There's like birds and cars and everything. So yeah, and it's a really like good selection too. Like there's not really that many like jagged lines, so that's awesome. And if you did want to like cut out like this little thing over here, you can just go back to this quick selection tool and do quick selection and then just go in and select that and delete it and bam. That was super easy way faster than what I've ever done before. So if you guys do make your own thumbnails and use Photoshop, hopefully that helped you all out. I'm currently struggling to decide what my outfit is going to be today. I just published my video. Oh my God, I cannot do this with one hand. We have this option headband. It's really cute. This is my outfit for now. I don't know if it like matches the vibe or if it like fits it, but I'm wearing Air Force ones. These jeans and this top from Boohoo or something. It's a body suit. So I don't know. What do you think? Or should I do a hat? We'll see. They're all pretty big. I don't know if it matches because I'm wearing like tennis shoes. Wait, come and look at this. What? Yeah, I didn't think so either. We're not black hat that I tell you we're open. Which one? The one that I always want you to wear. Which one? It's black. Show me. Come bring it. Ryan, I'm not wiping my makeup off. He's so particular about his hats. As he should be, but... I'm kind of like the headband. It's like, I don't even know when the last time I washed my hair was. Oh, Wednesday. And it is currently Saturday. And I keep spraying like this dry shampoo stuff in it. And kind of surprised it's actually like alive. Is that kind of weird? Mm-hmm. It's going to be a tighter. It's supposed to be. Doesn't that look so much weirder? Oh wait, that's kind of cute. Should I do it? Mm-hmm. I'm going to be out of my element. What does he even say? Harvest crusade.  Okay. We're going to go to the domain. Hopefully the stores aren't still boarded up slash so closed. And we can actually do some shopping. I really want to like find better jeans that are actually high waisted. And like those straight-legged kind of jeans that that fits better. We don't scream. And so that is what I'm going to be looking for today. And we also need to return something. I got Ryan something for his birthday present. I got him like these shirts from cuts and they just didn't fit him. So we have to return them. And I'm sad because I always get him something that doesn't fit. I decided to go with the headband. I feel like the hat was just not me, but I don't know. Maybe on another day because I feel like my hair looks good today. I don't want to cover it up, but we stopped by Wendy's. And I just remembered that they have the spicy chicken nuggets back. So we got those in a fastie. We're currently in line for Nespresso. There are these new like iced coffee pods or something. Yeah. So I guess they use more coffee less water. So you can water them down nice. Check them out. The denim hunt is not going so well so far, but I just saw this walking past it. They're putting in a pressed juicerie. I haven't tried it or maybe I have. I can't remember where we went in California, but I think it's like an LA thing. Which they have so many stores that I feel like would only be in California like Fabletics and just other ones that are at the domain, which is pretty cool. I wanted to search for their straight leg jeans and they don't have many, but this is my size. I'm a size 12, so their fitting rooms are unfortunately closed right now, but I think I'm just going to get them and hopefully fit. We're going to head to the pool and I wanted to show you guys this swimsuit because I like unboxed it in one of my vlogs and you guys wanted to see the fit. So this is it. I actually got it off of Amazon and it was pretty affordable. The quality is really, really good. I'm pretty sure it's from Cupshe and it has this cute little cutout on the side. And yeah, so that's what it looks like.  I just showered and I'm so glad we got to go to the pool. We were going at like 5.40 and the pool was supposed to close because of like coronavirus. They're like closing our pool earlier these days. And it was supposed to close at like 6 and they didn't close at 6, so I was like very happy. We got like a ton of time at the pool. So I got my tan for the day and the first product I'm going to be using is a green monster face oil from Clean Your Dirty Face. I love using face oil, especially after I go to the pool. Just get a tan. I feel like it looks so pretty and just like glowy. Next, I think I'm just going to do, I just have like a couple of like little blemishes. But I don't know if like everything's too orange for my face. Okay, whatever. This is the Makeup Forever Ultra HD Stick. I love this thing. I honestly don't use it every day because I'm like being greedy with it and there's like not much leftover, but I love to just like cover up like little things and then I'm just going to use my Beauty Blender a little. That didn't really help honestly. I'm going to put some Glossier Blush on. This is the color storm and it's the cloud paint. It's like a clean blush. I haven't used this in a really long time. I don't know if that was like too much. I'm just going to blend this out. Maybe I can try it for some over here. Oh, oh my God. That's so uneven. Good. Good thing it like blends out like pretty good amount. I like it. It's like very like a natural like blush. I don't know if you can even tell on camera, but I still have those blemishes that I still want to get rid of. So I'm just going to take a little bit of this foundation from NARS. We'll just use the Roller Lash by Benefit. This is like one of my favorite all-time mascaras. Like I've been using this for years. I have this brow flick by Glossier using a lot of Glossier today. But this one is just going to like make little hair strokes. This chopstick is Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Treatment. And I got it as like a gift from Sephora. And it is honestly the best chopstick. I looked at the price because I was supposed to get it during the Sephora BIB sale. But I realized I wasn't like rouge. So I was like, I'll just like wait to get another time. But I definitely need to get this. Honestly, I could have gotten it today. I was at the domain. They probably had a Sephora open. But then I'm going to use this Cork Lip Pencil from MAC. And just give my lips a little bit of color. This is the completed look. I will have all of the products that I mentioned linked down below. And now it is time to call the restaurant that I want to eat at to see if they have a weight. Or if they take like reservations or like call heads. I wanted to quickly show you guys the jeans I got today at Zara. So these are called the straight leg jeans. I'm pretty sure. And they are so cute. I'm so glad they fit. I am a size 12. And yeah, they fit pretty nicely.  I definitely think like they're going to be more comfortable than like a lot of the other boyfriend jeans I've had in the past to like sit down in. Overall, I would not wear these as like comfy jeans, but I still think they're so stylish. I've been wanting these like raw hemline pants for so long. So I'm really excited about that. And I kind of want to like pull out a few more strings on the bottom just because I feel like it could be a little bit more like distressed. I also appreciate how high-waisted these are because I'm just like not going to ever go back to low-waisted or like mid-rise jeans. I guess that's what they're called. These jeans were 40 bucks. And honestly, I feel like that's pretty affordable compared to like what is on the market right now. Like the Goldy jeans and like Levi's, they're all so much more expensive like $100 or more. So I feel like these are really affordable and I'll definitely link them down below. So this is what they look like. I'll kind of shape it up close. And this is what the back looks like. Super just like straight and like boxy looking. But I guess it is the style right now. So I'm going to go ahead and take these tags off and then we're going to go head to dinner. We just got to Gloria's. We got patio seating. It is like a really perfect day. It feels so good that I went to the pool on my tan. We're going to eat some good food. Some chips and salsa. Their chips and salsa are amazing. We're also going to get margaritas because we heard that they were really good too. You made a vlog for you? You know, you want to know what that face was? What?  You know, they both looked at me. There was someone out there that made notice to you. And she was like, and it's like, you know, when you're doing the espresso thing, she was like, so like weirded out by it. Really? Don't want to say anything. Don't want to come on here on the vlog. I'm like a little halfway down and I'm really feeling it. So if I wasn't a lightweight already, quarantine has definitely made me an even more lightweight, which is honestly great because less calories, less money. So when went? She's been crying and laughing. She wants to marry me. It's the spot. We just got done and Ryan apparently accidentally paid for parking till like Monday. So we're just going to walk around. It's currently 10 p.m. and before I get already for bed and get in bed because I'm so tired right now, I need to pull some looks for tomorrow because me and my friend Cicely are shooting in the morning in Mueller, I think. And we're just going to shoot a couple outfits just to get some content because I realized that my grid is like literally just all my face and I'm like over it.  So I'm going to pull some looks for that, but I will try to vlog tomorrow and show you guys some outfits then. So I'm going to be closing out this vlog just so I can like concentrate, get that done and get into bed because I'm like so ready for bed. But I hope you guys enjoyed this vlog. If you guys are not already, follow me on Instagram. It is so underscore gnarly without the G and you can see more of my life on there. I post on stories and all that fun stuff. So go follow me over there and I'll see y'all in my next video. Bye.


A-view link is the lifeline between the central place that is IIT Bombay studio and your place. If that link is down for one minute, you are disconnected for one minute. One thing you have to do is keep your internet on and see to it that there is proper connectivity with A-view and that's why the whole session now is given to Sajjan Dixit. Sajjan Dixit working as a project manager in this national mission project. So before taking the hands on I would like to describe something here. So let us see first requirements. So the A-view all are familiar with A-view software I think. So A-view is a platform, a framework which the teacher can use for online teaching and it works on internet networks. So most probably you will need internet line at your side and it should be one Mbps is stable internet line. So one Mbps, one Mbps is stable internet bandwidth you will require that line. Make sure that this line is not coming through your proxy server because under proxy this software will not work. So take direct line, bypass the proxy in your institute. So we have a URL to check the bandwidth. So you can check your bandwidth using this URL. This is the URL <IP_ADDRESS> slash speed test. So you can check your bandwidth, how much you are getting. Then requirement is personal computer, well configured personal computer. It should have Windows XP OS and with minimum 2 GB RAM. Third you will need video camera with tripod and please keep that camera under the projector. So we can see the front face of your all the participant when interaction come during the lecture time. Fourth is professional microphone for audio. To connect camera to PC you will require video capture device. It could be either PCI or USB. We are using here this device to connect camera to PC. This is the easy kept device but you can go with pin, eichel, osprey whatever you are getting in the your institute. Right now we have 14 devices. So we can provide you just write your name in the paper and distribute to other. So after the my demo I will provide that device. But only we will provide only those who are really trouble and they are not getting that device in the city. Because we have low record we tested your center. For audio you will need 2 amplifier with speakers. One amplifier should be used for teachers audio. One amplifier should be used for your own audio. If you do not have 2 amplifier the single amplifier should be used only for teacher audio. Your microphone should be connected direct to the PC without using any amplifier. Otherwise eco will generate. You cannot connect input and output in a single device. So I am making a diagram. Suppose you use a single amplifier. Take audio output from the PC and connect it to amplifiers auxiliary or input. Your microphone should be connected to direct to the PC. So if you have wireless receiver like that. So take output from this receiver and the another end of the cable connect to PC direct. Do not use any amplifier in between your audio device and PC. Mic in or line in. If that receiver generates high gain audio your cable should be connected to the line in option. If that does not generate high gain audio connect to mic in option. If you have 2 amplifier and want to listen for this setup. If you use this setup you will not listen, you will not get your own audio in the classroom. Because teacher can access your audio but you cannot listen. If you connect this mic in this amplifier the signal goes to this amplifier teacher's audio signal goes to first amplifier and your signal is also goes to this amplifier and you are taking this output so eco will generate. So please do not use single amplifier for your own audio that should be only for teacher's audio. Yesterday we saw this demo of the session and ACI here. Yes, yes. But I thought ACI was the old setup and we were having distinct eco related problems. Right now you yesterday there was no eco actually. No it was eco when there was feedback session that is then that is coming from the classroom. We have a speaker in that teacher's side classroom. So that speaker is near that microphone so the little bit eco is the defend that is defend but if you connect wrong connection eco will generate the same gain in same gain. So use microphone only when you want to ask a query or questions and when teacher speaks mute on that mic. So if you have two amplifier so disconnect that cable use another amplifier and that cable goes to in auxiliary of second amplifier and connect separate speaker for this and separate speakers for this and take output from this amplifier yeah preamp out line out and if you use that second amplifier the line should be connected to the line in option only because it provides high gain audio. So this is the diagram for to reduce the eco and you will need some connectors and cables as per the connections whatever model you are using yeah there are two input color pink and blue pink is mic in blue is line in and green is the output pink is mic in blue is line in and green is output of PC you can see here this is the line in mic in middle one is the output yeah left hand side you can see pink color that is the mic in and the blue color is the line in no it would be better you can use but suppose you select wrong you or you configure wrong thing in that left of according to the a view connections. So you will get problem it would be better if you use desktop machine because there is no camera inside that there is no audio input in built mic. So sometimes you forgot to select that proper microphone or my proper camera so you will get the problem cables and connectors. So these are the requirements to use a view now there are four faces four states of a view. So first is login when it is successful success it goes to navigation part you can see their classroom library setup feedback so to receive the transmission from the teacher side you have to enter the classroom select classroom now you will see the virtual classroom list now I have you have been allocated new research new remote center testing now we provide you another class research methodology so you have to enter that in that class just double click on that research methodology class so after that select class you will get final interface of the software. So this portion covers teacher video there are three tabs here use online users list chat box and student video whenever interaction comes and teacher is interacting with other center you can see that video in by pressing that student video tab and by double clicking you can see full screen also there in this portion you can see whiteboard and document when teacher change the slide it will automatically change at the same time these are the interface now let us see the display mode there are two display mode in a view single window multiple window you can see here the video part users online users part and the document whiteboard there are four screens inside a one inside a single interface so this is the consolidated mode so we call it single or single window mode so when you choose single window you will get this interface if you want to use multiple window you will need a two display card in your system so two display card when you insert in the PCI slots you will get four output and extend the display and connect four monitors for projector and drag and drop that screen if you want to use multiple window mode then you will need two display card in the PC when you insert two display card in the PC you will get four output from the PC for VG output and using the display card you can extend the screens so when you log in in use by using multiple window mode you will get all the screen separately video is separate whiteboard is separate document in separate online users is separate so drag each screen in each window each screen you can see everything in larger screen you can see in consolidated mode now but you can concentrate all the screen separately it would be better but we are not recommending that you use multiple mode if you have one projector use single mode only if you have four screens then you can use yeah this is not mandatory a view is a software which is not meant just for this purpose and this setup it has many other uses okay and I think the multiple window mode has created where instead of a projector you have four LCD screens on the wall because there are smaller classrooms where instead of a projector four LCD screens are put and sometimes you have the same thing maybe slightly different way on the four screens or sometimes the same picture is just split into four corners and comes into four screens just to get as if it's a one big screen of quadruple resolution so don't worry about it I think for us if you have a projector the single window mode is it would be better yes so now how it works with server so we have server here under the server we have three servers one is database server for authentication second is video server for streaming server for live video and third one is content server for whiteboard and document so suppose this server is connected to internet remote center multiple remote centers are connected to internet also so when you log in first request goes to database server and it uses you we are using a in the database part my SQL to you will you you are using that a view that is a desktop application to connect desktop application to the server we are using here LCDs live cycle data services and it works on port at 7 double 0 so if port 8 7 double 0 is blocked by firewall or the router you will not get the another interface you will get the difficulty in the login so suppose authentication is success so you will go to next interface then you you will after the final interface you will see their video users and all the things so that comes through video server the content works on content server but you cannot see without getting the video because the synchronization problem if you get early then you will not get the synchronization so when video comes at your side after that you can receive that content part so video server using port number 1935 suppose login is successful but you cannot see users your own institute name in the users list that means port number 1935 is blocked so you have to open that port in router and firewall and content server works on port number 80 in every server it almost it is opened so this is the basic funda how to how it works now we we take the hands on there are some checklists before start the a view if you are using Mozilla Google Chrome please do not open that you should open only internet explorers because Windows XP taking all the default setting from internet explorer so for this purpose you should start internet explorer only so start internet explorer go to tools after tools select internet options now the fifth wave is connections select that under that you can see land settings select that make sure the proxy server checkbox is this unchecked yeah because under yeah deselected it should be deselected deselected because under proxy this software will not work and you are using Mozilla you called me that the internet is working fine what is the problem yeah so before start the view open internet explorer check the proxy setting there is and this checkbox should be unchecked type our IP address our server's IP address <IP_ADDRESS> yeah first check that server is ringing or not so after that type speed test and check this sorry <IP_ADDRESS> you check your bandwidth I am using data card here because if you use that card or use low band proper bandwidth you do not have the adequate bandwidth at your side you will get definitely problem so I am using a older machine and the data card here so it is taking too long time that means the bandwidth is not proper so you can see download is 0.55 and upload is 0.60 it should be around 1 mbps so it is less than 1 mbps so make sure that reading you will get around 1 mbps yes yes both the side yes around 1 mbps so that means speed is fine or not you can check after that close this and insert your video capture device so now you can see I am double clicking on my computer so you can see all the devices when I insert this device before that you have to install the driver of this device I have already installed so you can see under the scanner and camera Sintek STK1160 this is the device name so it is detected that means device is working properly if you will not get that that means problem in the device or driver so now double click on that and connect your cameras composite output to the to this connector this input composite in yellow color no it will not work high definition it will not work if you does not support high definition video so I am using this handicap so along with that handicap you will get this cable so this is the AV output please use only yellow color we are not using handicaps audio so please do not connect these only yellow color to in yellow color of easy cap so now you can see video that means camera is working fine and the device is working properly now close this if you do not close when you start a view the application is running the driver is running in another application because you cannot use digital device in two application now after that you should start screen camera first before start the AV screen yeah I forgot to mention there along with AV in AV software we are providing you there are four packages AV screen camera Java runtime Adobe Air so when you install that software first it will install AV classroom after that it will install screen camera after that it will it will install Java runtime after that Adobe Air this is the runtime to run that whole application so please do not update Adobe Air there is a bug in version 3.2 so we are providing 2.5 version along with this software if you get this type of window when you start the application the installation is completed after that when you start the application it will sometimes you can see this kind of pop up so every time you should cancel that otherwise the video driver AV does not detect AV driver will not detect actually there is a bug in Adobe Air so please do not update if accidentally you updated please uninstall AV and install Adobe Air both application from your ad remove programs and reinstall that application AV only AV along with AV there are four packages so it will automatically install all four packages during the Java update Java also yeah but that testing was only for selecting the centers now before the workshop we start yeah but some of we faced many problems those who are already older center they forgot sometimes to start they are not following the best way to start the AV it will provide you confidence actually so start the select configuration go to webcam and the last icon you can see here is the configuration of this software screen camera software select that you will get a window select webcam there configure your camera for this software select from drop down your device I have inserted the easy kept device so you can see that device there select that device and connect now we are recording we have provided video also all the centers so if camera is working properly you can see your own video here now press ok as a reference you can see your own video by pressing this this button top of this software now the video is in not fully screen mode so by pressing the third icon of the screen camera you will get fully screen mode that means video is working fine properly there is no error in the video connectivity now you should start the AV software so fill up your username and password select server to please select only that server which has been assigned to you and as per your so is single window mode multiple window mode press login it will get some time it will take some time if you will get a problem related to the login that means problem in the port number at 7 double 0 you can say by using internet open internet explorer type 59 the same IP address colon at 7 double 0 you will get lcds data website that means port is open if you will not get that part that means port is blocked so you you have to open that port in router as well as firewall of the proxy server so now enter the class enter in the classroom select class you have to select you will have to select research methodology there double click on that so sorry yes type that IP address and colon at 7 double 0 in the address bar and check that lcds data website are you getting or not if you are not getting that means port is blocked to connect my school database and the desktop application we are using here lcds life cycle data services for that purpose we are using port at 7 yes that means port is open if you will not get that means port is blocked so now you can receive the transmission but you have to configure camera and microphone for this a view software so now press settings button select your camera if you will not get video device there that means you have updated adobe air so please uninstall adobe air uninstall a view and reinstall adobe a view software again so along with a view adobe will automatically install so select your device select your microphone sometimes some for forget that I suppose the usb default then they you should select sigmatel audio device there because you will use your own device of the pcs device audio device you are not using easycaps audio device so select sigmatel there whatever you have sigmatel it could be sigmatel real tech sound max whatever you have let us just select that device only and video quality the upload bandwidth is too high you can use 512 otherwise use only 128 kbps upload upload means your video encoding if you have adequate bandwidth we will provide that this is the criteria we have defined as per your bandwidth if you do not have use only 128 kbps and this is that reception feature side video quality if you have download too much download bandwidth you can select medium or high quality the default is lowest quality now save the setting and press start button to start the stream that the stream will go to server so now as a reference you can see your own video here that means the streaming is working fine if you are not getting video right hand side pop up that means problem in the connectivity or streaming server if you will get that video that means streaming is fine teacher can see us now under the users there is a hand raise button this is the hand raise button whenever participant has some

in single device


Now that we've explained how the hardness tests work, we're going to go ahead and perform that test with our sample things. Now we're going to start with the softest material, which is talc, and I don't expect that talc is going to be hard enough to scratch any of these materials. And when I do the test, you hear the sound, that just lets you know the test is being done. I use my diamond again, to check, and when I move the diamond over each one, I see that none of them had to turn over, so none of them had any scratches from the talc. The next harder one is the fingernail.  That means the sulfur was scratched by the fingernail. So in your chart, none of them get marked as being scratched by the talc, but the sulfur will get marked as being scratched by the fingernail. Next hardest one is the penny. I'll check again using the diamond, and you should have seen a couple of them flip over, meaning they were scratched by the penny. Next one would be the glass, checking with the diamond to see which ones are turned over. Moving on to the nail, checking after the nail comes topaz and checking by hovering the diamond over them. Record your results in your lab manual and contact me if you have any questions.


Friend of mine got some Viagra teabags last night. Tried them out. He said that it does nothing for your sex life, but they do keep your biscuits from going soft when you dunk it.  Good news for partly G-fans. Makes them last longer. You can follow us on Instagram, Twitter for more juice content. Thanks for your Patreon. Follow us on Instagram, like, button. Today, we got another video. This is Mexican dads try Indian food. Oh, same thing. They had the Mexican moms. Great. They had the Mexican dads do it. Awesome. It's a very fun video if you haven't seen our reaction to or that just, it's the channel's called Papa. Papa? Yeah, looks like Papa. P-A-P-A-H. Papa. H. Papa. Papa. Papa. Very funny video with the moms. Yes. And once again, you guys, the cultures are very, very similar. Yes, they are. It is so different, but so similar as well. Instead of dunking the naan, they wrap it in the naan. It is. It's basically what they do. That's why I've mentioned this before. I did it on the last video. That's one of the things in Drani marbled out when she got here because Mexican culture is so prevalent here. And she just has marbled at the similarities between Mexicans and Indians. Very, very similar in many ways. Yep. Here we go. Sorry. I'm starting to like this food. Today, the dads are at New Delhi Palace Indian restaurant in San Bernardino, California. Are they ready to try some Indian food? Ready. Ready. Let's go. Hey, guys. By the way, San Bernardino is about an hour from us. Ready with the peas and cilantro, onion, garlic. And these are the sauce to go with it. Mint spicy, tamarind sweet and sour, and extra spicy sauce. Let's add some spice here. Let's add some on the potato. Let's put some on the potato. Let's put some on the potato. Let's eat it. Let's eat it. Let's eat it. Let's eat it. The music. It's good. I had a bite. I didn't eat it. I ate it. I ate it. It's really good. It's really good. I kind of reminded me through my back as I'm like a chimichanga, right? Potato eyes. They're going to have so many comparisons. This reminds me of... The flavor. Not too spicy, but just enough. I'm going to add tamarind, which is a rich and flavorful sauce. That sweet and sour tamarind. Tamarind. A little bit for each of us. Okay. Oh, wow. It's one of the three. Wow. Chicken Tikka Masal with bell peppers, onion, then chicken breast peas. How much do you want to bet they like this? Is that she with the bell peppers, peas, and garlic none? Have you ever eaten Indian food? Yes. What do you think? It's delicious. This dish is one of what I recommend, my dear. It's very tasty and very spicy. Bartos chicken is the best. I love that they all three have their hair slicked back. They all look like Mexican dads. Mexican dads, yeah. The cream, the chicken, the sazón that they gave him, the perfect combination. Oh, well. I tell you, all this is good for me, but it's very good. Oh, what's next? Yes, yes, yes. I'm going to eat it.  Eating with the hands is easy. Good for the hand. You're kidding? As I said, the food is culture. Is this a dish that you try again? Yeah, yeah. I will try this dish again. Perfect. The texture, the flavor, those that are good.  Yes. That's the way you do it. That's the way you do it. Much easier to get a Mexican to eat with their hands in an American. A lot of people think that Indian food is spicy, but I want them to try it through you guys. That will be great for everything. Lamb in the loop, turkey, made out of whole wheat bread, tandoori chicken, made it in Kelvin. That's actually my least, it's delicious, but that's my least favorite Indian thing is tandoori chicken. Yeah. We wrap it, we put it here. It's like it's nice, but. Shh. I told you. This little bottle is a good one. If we eat this little bit of spicy, let's see how it tastes with the little bit of spicy, the little bottle. The lamb in the loop, when I played into that lamb, it's nice and soft and tender. I was thinking about birria real quick. Not too sweet, but it's got a really nice, herb-y flavor. The sauce is really good, really good stuff. It has its spices, it has different flavors, but it's spicy, it's like a little sauce. Let's go with the little one. The guy on the left actually looks like an Indian dad. He does look like a dad. That moustache is giving Indian dad. This guy's moustache is a Mexican dad. Let's go tea to a tea. It's a big idea, let's go back to the comments. When I saw the chicken, it was made by the red ones. Red ones. The ones that were going to be red ones. But it's falling off the bone. It's very good, very good. How often do Mexican people come to eat bones? I got all different crowds now maybe every day, but I think California is about 65% Mexican. The one from the Czech people. See, my first one here. Goat brani, bell peppers, onion, and that's a dressing. Yogurt with cucumber, tomatoes, green cucumber. Can we get some more of the spicy sauce? This is good. Just a small one. Yeah, you got it. Just rice with the goat, the combination. It's not as spicy as I thought it was gonna be. It's got a really nice kick to it, you know? It's really good. It's really good. It's very good. The beer is good, but rice with its spices and the seasoning that it has. Ooh, condiments, seasonings. Interesting. I cut the fish. I cut the fish. There it is. There it is. Perfect. You know, it's like the fish attack. There it is. There it is. There it is. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I'm gonna try it again. Again and again and again and again and again and again. Secret recipe to make you feel so good. Love. I'm sure you'll make it for love. Yeah! It's like my chef make it. Just like Mexican culture. Yep. And Italian. I think it's pretty much everywhere. It tastes better when it's made with love. Thank you, sir. Thank you, thank you. We appreciate the invitation to the restaurant. No, thank you, sir. Thank you. Shrimp coconut masala. Oh, shrimp coconut masala. Shrimp coconut masala. Oh, strawberry lassi. Oh, no. I can't eat octopus. After my octopus teacher, I can't eat octopus anymore. I've never been able to eat octopus. Nor do I want to. It's a sweet flavor. It sure has that little sweet into it. A lot of herbs in it. It's great, very creamy. And it all just meshes together, especially when you get that garlic on top of it. It's so good. I love it. I love it. I love it. And then it meshes together, especially when you get that garlic on, and you dip enough of that non or the non on a lot of that sauce, it hits man. It's good. That's funny. Good comparison. It's like that plain Greek yogurt. You can taste it. And then that strawberry in there, it's not too sweet, but it has that yogurt and strawberry flavor. Really, really good. Kenny, do you ever get to eat Mexican food because we can make you some? Yes, sir. I love Mexican food as well. Yes. Oh, with todo. There we go. Masala tea. Indian chai tea made out of ginger, garlic, and cardamon, and guacamole. Hopefully it's hot. This looks like the doughnut balls from doughnut holes, right? But it seems like they have it nice and like something, like honey almost. Eat that bad boy. Was he Cuban? Yeah. You know what? It's really refreshing. It gives you that first hint of a lot of herb, like the ginger, which is shocking, but it's actually, after you take your first second, third sip, it's actually really good. I think it could be a comfort drink. It would be so big here, man. Food, great taste. Oh, my God. Oh, you have to pay. Salud, gente. Salud. Salud. Salud. Salud. I feel like there's an actor that the guy on the left looks like. He's driving you crazy. Yeah, he looks like an Indian actor that we've seen in a lot of films. It's the mustache. A lot of Indian dads. That's an Indian mustache is what I've ever seen an Indian mustache. Which I have. Yeah, that was great. That was great. Their cultures are so similar. The people are so similar. The family dynamics are so similar. I wish you guys had more access to actual Mexican food. I wish we had more access to actual Indian food here. You had to really search. Yeah, it's difficult. It's the opposite sides of the world. So it's very difficult to find that. I'm sure you guys have some, but I've not seen it yet. And obviously I know you guys have like Taco Bell, but that's not Mexican food at all. It's Americanized Mexican food. That's not what a chulupa looks like. It's not one actual chulupas. No. It's delicious actually. That's my favorite thing from Taco Bell is that chulupa. It wouldn't surprise me if somewhere in the big cities there's an authentic Mexican. In the same way that there is here in Los Angeles there's authentic Indian places. In fact, we've said I haven't done it. I was supposed to reach out and you had asked me to reach out to the folks who have the Bombay food truck that now have agrid and tandoori. In fact, I'm going to put that in my to-do list right now. It's great as always. Let us know what other videos we can react to food videos down below.


Be calm. What's up money geeks, Mr. V here, welcome to another video guys. So in this video, I wanted to talk about the market, I want to talk about what's going on, the sell-off and what to do, how to prepare for this, how to maintain your mindset as we see these kinds of instances happening in the market. So that's what I want us to cover into this video. But before we get to the guys, if you're new to the channel, we talk about how to earn money, how to save money, how to invest and build wealth. If you have something that interests you, go ahead and hit that subscribe button and the notification bell so you don't miss out on new content. Before we actually jump into what I really wanted to talk about today guys, I've actually gotten some messages from some of you guys and I really appreciate it. Now there's people spamming the comment section, somebody out there pretending to be mean, they have my picture, have my name and responding to comments and asking you to come pay money to learn how to invest on WhatsApp or whatever. That's not me. If I respond to your comment, you're going to see my name is going to be highlighted. It's going to have either a black circle around it or a blue circle around it. So it's definitely going to stand out for you to know that that's me. So any other comment that you see or any other respondent you see asking you to go somewhere else besides YouTube, that's not me. I'm not going to send you guys to go learn how to invest somewhere. If I have to do something like that, I'll make an announcement here on the channel so you guys know I'm not going to be putting it in the comments. So if you guys see those comments, you can spam them. I've spoken to YouTube and I've been deleting the comments and blocking those guys from the channel. They keep popping up. But again, that's something I just want to make sure that you guys are aware of. So I'm sorry about it. It's really beyond my control. These guys are probably using bots to make this thing happen. But again, YouTube is doing their best. I'm doing my best. So we just keep fighting. So let's talk about important things. The market is red. A lot of you guys are sending me messages, Mr. V, what's going on? Is it a crash? Should I sell everything? So I want to do a video here that will give you guys some context.  I would expect that panic because when you see your money dropping like that, disappearing. It's no fun. A lot of you guys actually started investing last year after the COVID crash.  That's how the market works. Guys, you have to go through at least crashes before you can really understand what I'm saying here, like what happened back in 2008, even the COVID crash. So this to me wasn't a crash. This is just a slight correction in the market. I mean, it's expected. You see the ups and downs in the market. This was just that little slight correction. So don't panic. If you have positions that are long-term, all you have to do is if you have any available cash, you have some liquidity, buy more for your long-term positions because this dip was really good for some stocks. So I'll give you an example. I see a company like Lucid going public with CCIV as a great investment long-term. So stock drops to $30. What do you do? Jump in and scoop more. But you know what happens, right? Most people still have the mentality of the stock market that when it's crashing, people want to sell and run instead of looking for opportunities. I've spoken about this on the channel a lot, guys. The stock market is the only place where when something is on sale, people run away. People want to disappear. They don't even want to be there.  So take, for instance, Tesla was under $700 at one point today. If you're somebody that's looking to get into Tesla, you can start looking at opening a position and start picking a few shares here and there and then average your way down if it keeps pulling down or average your way back up if it keeps going back up. So you have to have that mentality. Again, like I said, if you started investing last year after COVID, you probably don't understand this concept because you thought you were wearing both of it because anything you touch goes up and make profit. So now is the time where you can actually see that pull back. And this is where people are going to go back again and start reading and they start using the tools that these platforms give us like trailing stops and stop losses to help you protect some of your gains. If you go into a position and you only swing trading, you don't plan on holding that stock long term, as soon as you make some profit, guys, it's okay to pull some of that profit out, investing something else or even put a stop loss so that if the market starts to go south, you get out just like that. And then you can take that money and then wait and look for the bottom. Even though nobody really knows where the bottom is, but at least buy lower than you had before. So let's say you bought a stock at $10. It goes to $20 and the market starts pulling back. You sell at 18. If it drops back to $10 or down to $8, you can buy even more shares. So that's just the example that I wanted to give you guys. I want you to have the mindset again of an investor.  You look at opportunities today, either shorting or going long. But if you're an investor, you look at opportunities to buy. What is on sale today? So I look at a company like Planteer at one point today was on sale. It's like, wow, CCIV was on sale. Wow, you look at those companies and jump and take advantage of those opportunities. So that's what I wanted to cover in this video. Basically, the mindset of an investor and the mindset of a trader. Traders, this is just fine. You don't have to worry about anything because you have your cash, you have your liquidity in hand. If you are an investor, you're looking for opportunities. I want you to be smart. I want you to think long term. Don't worry about the pullback because I see people posting like, oh, I'm down 2K today. I'm down 3K today. That's cool. But when you were up 2K or 3K, you were just keeping out of yourself not posting it, right? So you have to be able to adjust your mindset to that mentality that some days it's going to be red, some days it's going to be green, and some days it's just going to be even. You're not going to make any money that day. So that's just the way the market works. So you have to really train yourself to understand that and have that mindset. Draw the line. Mentally, what are you? Are you an investor? Again, investors are people that buy and hold long term. Or are you a trader? People that buy and sell, either daily or weekly or maybe bi-weekly or monthly, whichever one you do, are you a trader?   That's just the way this whole thing should work. Again, guys, this is just my take. I want to make sure that I share that with you guys. Let me know in the comment section what you guys think. Is this a crash to you or is just a pullback or just a slight correction? Give it to me. I consider this just a slight correction. I think in the next week or two we're going to get back to doing business as usual. I could be wrong. Nobody has ever predicted the market exactly the way it's supposed to go. So let me know again what you guys think. If you're new to the channel, we talk about how to earn money, how to save money, how to invest and build wealth. So if that's something that interests you, go ahead and hit that subscribe button and any notification bell too. Don't miss out on new content.

Okay, so, partially due to obligation, we're doing this, even though this is probably going to be one of the shortest lists ever. Here are the 5 worst episodes of season 5 of Supernatural. Number 5. Doesn't exist. Number 4. Doesn't exist either. Number 3. Okay, maybe. Fallen Idols. Fallen Idols is... alright. I guess in comparison to the overall, very heavily connected majority of the stories that happened in the rest of the season, this very much filler episode does kind of derail the whole connectivity with the rest of the season, but only in story aspect, not in character development because this is the episode where Dean trusts Sam again. This is the one where they reconnect, and Sam is the one who realizes what's actually going on faster than Dean, and it also includes them fighting Paris Hilton. Funny enough, when people think of this episode of this season, a lot of people think it's the worst one, but it's not. It's just nowhere near as good as all the others. It doesn't mean it's a bad episode, it just means it's quite low in the overwhelmingly majority positive episodes of this season. Number 2. 99 Problems. My first and main problem with 99 Problems is that it is a retread of Good God y'all. Sure it does have a few tweaks here and there with the whole horror Babylon idea, but in the end it is a hidden inside source that is influencing the town to essentially turn on each other in the idea of something that is leading towards the apocalypse in the end of the world. And pretty much the only reason why this episode didn't get a negative rating from me is because Castiel and his humor literally raised this episode out of negativity. The comedic timing of his character in this episode is perfectly written, although the jokes land and they still land. And while I do find that this episode is quite derivative, the final five minutes are quite meaningful with Dean going to talk to Lisa, pretty much kind of setting up the idea that he is going to in fact say yes to Michael because he is so lost. So I like that aspect of this episode, but I can't really say that I like an episode for comedic jokes and for a final five minute piece of importance. So that is why it is number two on the list. And now number one. Swapmeat.  Sure, it's kind of a juvenily funny idea and if this episode had happened say earlier on in the show like maybe season three or heck I could have almost said it could have landed in season four when it would have been better. Really this episode is so derivative nothing happens in this episode. You've got a decent performance from a Grey's Anatomy alumni and then you have Sam walking around in funny teenager kid outfits. Aside from that, this episode does not have anywhere near as much importance in the overall narrative, neither with character development as it should. It does use some pretty cheap but yet ingenious visual storytelling to kind of help you place these characters where they are with Sam wearing the kids clothes and the kid wearing Sam's clothes. That's it. Probably the greatest crime of this episode is that if you skipped it, you wouldn't miss out on anything. You literally would not miss out on a single aspect that this season had. But that's it. That is the very short and done. There is no honorable mentions. There is nothing else. I can really only say there are three bad episodes of this season. One was a stretch. One was a reach and one is actually really bad. It's not a good episode. I don't like Swapmeat. But that's it guys. I hope you enjoyed this video. It was short but next week we will be talking about the five best episodes of Supernatural Season 5 and I still am arguing with myself to this day. I've been arguing about it for like the last two months. I haven't actually recorded it yet. I'm not kidding. It's actually been that much of a challenge. Either way, I hope you guys enjoyed the video. If you did, leave a like and if you're interested in more, subscribe. Make sure to tune in next Thursday to see the top five best episodes of Supernatural Season 5 as well as my last Supernatural video for a little while. I'm taking a little break before I start season six. Anyways, until then, see you guys next time.


Welcome to Campbell County, a land rich in history and natural resources. Located between the Big Horn Mountains and the Black Hills of Wyoming is this rugged prairie landscape known as the Powder River Basin. Early settlement of the area began in the late 1860s and 1870s when herds of cattle came up the Texas Trail to graze the vast open plains of northern Wyoming. The brutal winter of 1886 and 1887 decimated these herds of cattle and forever changed the settlement of this area. Smaller ranching outfits soon established that used the more managed practices of stringing up fence and growing hay to ensure feed for livestock through the winter months. Land that was once valuable for large cattle enterprises later became sought after as a nationwide energy source. Coal was first mined in Campbell County in 1909. Early coal mining was done with two and four horse teams that pulled earth scrapers known as Fresnos to gain access to the seams of coal. Oil was discovered in the mid 1900s and this in conjunction with coal mining led to major population booms throughout the years. So come visit the energy capital of the nation and discover the cowboy and mining culture that it has to offer. From the University of Wyoming Extension, I'm Blake Hotman, Exploring the Nature of Wyoming.


Daily Tech News show is made possible by its listeners, thanks to all of you including Carmine Bailey, Vince Power and John and Becky Johnston. Coming up on DTNS, Joel Telling is here to help you understand how to get into 3D printing plus Amazon buys a primary healthcare provider and a spam fighting service that charges the spammer. Not you. This is the Daily Tech News for Thursday, July 21st, 2022 in Los Angeles, I'm Tom Merritt. And from Studio Redwood, I'm Sarah Lane. I'm the show's producer, Roger Chang. And joining us host of 3D printing nerd Joel Telling, welcome. Well, thank you so much. Yay, it's Joel. Appreciate you guys having me. Thanks for being here. I can't wait to talk 3D printing and more, but let's start with a few tech things you should know. Facebook announced two new feeds on its mobile apps for iOS and Android. The home feed will be displayed when first opened in the app that uses an algorithm based method for personalized discovery of Facebook content. A new feeds tab will contain recent posts from your friends, your groups, your pages and your favorites. Feeds will not offer suggested posts. So those are in that new home feed. Now, if you don't see that yet, the update will roll out globally over the next week. I mean, it's kind of genius separating what you want from the things they want you to want. 12 months after framework debuted its modular laptop. It's sending out its first round of update kits. You know, the things that make having a modular laptop worth having new modules. And Gadget describes pulling out the main board CPU and IO while keeping existing RAM, solid state drive, Wi-Fi card, battery, audio gear screen, all pretty much everything else the same. You just swap out the CPU. And Gadget said all you needed was the included Torx T5 screwdriver. And then to follow some color coded and labeled parts, there's some QR codes with links to the videos if you need them. And Gadget felt like it wasn't entirely newbie proof, but it was still easier than what you would have to do on another laptop. New mainboards range from $499 to $699 to $1,079 depending on which of the 12th gen Intel chips you want. Framework also released a new 2.5 gigabit Ethernet expansion card as well. Samsung mobile president TM Rowe said that the overall smartphone industry shipped almost 10 million foldable phones in 2021. That's up 300% from 2020. For context, Samsung shipped 272 million smartphones in 2021. Ross Young of display supply chain consultants reports that Samsung held an 87.8% market share for foldables in 2021. A few tech updates out of China today. Tech Insights reports that SMIC has been shipping a seven nanometer process node chip since July 2021. Tech Insights reversion engineered the chip and said the initial images suggest it's a close copy of TSMC's 70 nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, the cyberspace administration of China find DD global finally they've been this has been coming for a while. More than 8 billion yuan about $1.2 billion US. This is over its management of personal data. Bloomberg sources say the company does not know when it can relaunch its mobile apps domestically, which were taken off app stores in July 2021. And Baidu announced a new autonomous vehicle with a detachable steering wheel intended for its robo taxi service in China next year. Baidu says the car will have level for autonomous capability, meaning no need for human intervention in specific areas. It can't drive everywhere autonomously, but in a place that it's allowed to, you won't need to have the person paying attention. Ford announced it will have enough battery supplies to put 600,000 EVs on the market per year by the end of 2023. Ford extended an agreement with the world's largest battery pack supplier, China's contemporary Amperex technology. It will also buy batteries from LG Energy Solutions and increase its orders from SK on. Ford also made a deal for raw materials getting lithium from Nevada's Ryolite Ridge Mine. That'll be helpful in making lithium-ion phosphate, or LFP batteries, which Ford will add to the mix alongside the more traditional nickel-cobalt-magnonese batteries it and most EV makers currently rely on. Yeah, so Ford getting into the battery game real big like. Alright, let's talk about Amazon buying your doctor. Yeah, so if you're not familiar with one medical or you didn't hear about it today, a bit of a darling of Silicon Valley. It's a primary medical care provider in the US that provides all of your healthcare needs in one place, although you need to have insurance before you use one medical. It's not actually an insurance company. It includes a range of telemedicine services as well, centralizing services like lab work, some specialists, promoting digital and virtual interactions more. One medical promises 24-7 telehealth and same or next day appointments guaranteed.  They offer a direct consumer product that you pay for on top of your health insurance, but also offer the service through companies for more than 8,500 organizations. So you can think of it kind of like a Whole Foods for healthcare might pay a little more, but you might like it better. Modern forward thinking and also pricier. Yeah, and that Whole Foods is an apt comparison since Amazon is buying one medical just like they bought Whole Foods. Other than paying $18 a share and valuing the company at $3.9 billion, though, Amazon hasn't said much about its plans for one medical just that it loves them and they love us and we can't wait to work together. Amazon has been developing a healthcare strategy over the past few years since 2018. It has run an online pharmacy thanks to its acquisition of Pillpack and in 2021 it expanded its Amazon Care telehealth service across the U.S. Amazon Care is virtual and only offered through employers, but it's roughly comparable to one medical other than that. Think of it as the Amazon Fresh to one medical's Whole Foods, perhaps. Amazon might roll one medical and Amazon Care into one service. It might keep them separate. We do know that one medical CEO, Amer Don Rubin, said he will continue to run one medical after the close of the deal. If you're interested in how one medical is doing, the company lost $90.9 million on revenue of $254.1 million in its Q1, but Amazon's kind of used to running services at a loss or low profit margin until they reach scale. Of course, the deal will need regulatory sign off and approval from shareholders in order for it to go through. That regulatory part is the part that I think I've seen a lot of FUD on the Internet about this. A lot of people saying this is the worst, now Amazon is going to know all of my health data and will try to sell me things based on what's wrong with me, et cetera, et cetera. You can lend some credence to that kind of thinking. I'm not sure what data one medical has from the insurance company partners it works with. Maybe all of it, maybe partially some of the data. Maybe there will be some sort of statement from Amazon explaining exactly why Amazon doesn't have access to this data because one medical is still going to be run independently. A lot of questions to be answered yet. Don't forget that, yes, Amazon will have access because Amazon owns one medical, but Amazon retail will not have access to anything that HIPAA prevents them from accessing, unless you believe Amazon's just going to break the rules, which maybe you believe, but that would be a serious problem for a company that wants to expand its healthcare business to be caught violating HIPAA out of the gate. So I would not expect there to be sharing of data between Amazon retail and one medical. I would be more concerned with the fact that one medical has suffered a data breach in the past and what is Amazon going to be doing to make sure that the information that they do have stays secure and stays private intentionally.  How do you feel about this? It's really interesting to think about because, like Sarah said, though, it's available for employers only, if I remember right. And before this, before I was a content creator, I worked for Adobe, and so I remember having healthcare. So then, would employees, rather than offering health insurance, offer services through one medical? So then, if that's the case then, I'm really curious how it works out because then, I mean, people like to travel and typically, if you have health insurance coverage that covers you somewhere else, but if your health services are provided by a company that is partnering with your employer in order to make those services possible, then do you have that coverage that transports with you to other places? But what really got me curious though, because Amazon likes to acquire companies, as we all know, are we finding ourselves more towards the future that's depicted in Wally? Is Amazon the buy-in large now at this point? Yeah. I think it's, people generally don't conflate AWS and Amazon because we're used to that. And so when these stories come out, it's easy to immediately go there to go to be like, oh, it's going to all be one service. I'll be shopping for almonds on Amazon.com and it'll ask me if I want to get a cholesterol test. I'm not saying that's impossible, but I imagine that what Amazon wants to do with one medical is create easy healthcare in a separate way, branded separately, like AWS is branded separately now, that will be sort of an HMO that you can get easily. And I should run to clarify a few things. One medical is available directly. You don't have to go through an employer to get it. They go through employers, but you don't have to. Amazon Care, which is the existing Amazon thing that's all virtual, does only go through employer health insurance. But in both cases, they are neither one of them health insurance. You have to have health insurance to pay for everything. These are just making it easier, making it nicer, giving you a nicer lobby, putting the lab somewhere, giving you... It's like the advanced package on a car. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like you already have the car, but if you want it to be kind of cooler, maybe pay the extra. Who wasn't in our Discord that described it as TSA-PRE for medical, because they give you same- That was also me. Oh, there you go. Yeah, that was good. I'm just trying to find lots of analogies this morning because I actually used to think one medical was health insurance. I know a fair amount of people who have it, and I thought, oh, it's for people who can afford it, which is still true because it's a premium on top of your health insurance. But yeah, it works differently than I think a lot of people say, Amazon bought a health insurance company. Yeah, not really. Not really, yeah.  So I'll pay a little extra on top of my health insurance for my doctor. Right. At that point, we're talking the price of a couple lattes a month then for that premium experience. Yeah. Which if you're not drinking is better for your health unless they were non-savvy. I suppose, yeah. Well, let's talk spam. Let's do it. Who likes spam here? Nobody. Rhetorical question. For years, the promise of getting rid of email spam has never really worked. Spam has persisted. It's a vile weed because it's pretty free to send spam, but it costs a lot to stop it. Many folks have proposed ideas to shift the cost onto the sender somehow. Why does the recipient have to suffer without punishing legitimate senders in the process? So here's the latest. Protocol has a report on a company called Gated that fights email spam by making spammers donate to charity. You might say, how in the heck would that work? Statista estimates that spam made up 45% of all email traffic as of December. It's a huge problem. Gated refers to itself as noise canceling headphones for email. Tom, how does this work? So Gated analyzes when you set it up who you've emailed in the past and then builds an allow list. And it's just going to let those through. Anybody not on that list, however, will get an auto reply that reads, I don't recognize your email address. So you'll need to take one simple step in order for your message to reach me. And then it will offer a link to donate money to a charity that you choose or the option of verifying yourself. And I'm actually unclear what the verifying yourself part does. I think it maybe just alerts you on the other end that this person is saying they're a person you know. You, the user, choose the charity from a list and you also set the price that they have to donate. Could be a buck, could be 10 bucks. Depends on how much you want to keep people out of your inbox. If the sender pays the money to the charity, their email goes to your inbox rather than to a special gated folder. 70% of that money goes to the charity. 15% just gets eaten up by processing fees. That's normal. And then gated keeps 15% of that as its way of making money. So you don't pay anything to run gated. They make their money off the people who pay to get into your inbox. If the sender doesn't donate, the email doesn't go into a spam folder. It goes into a gated folder that you can go and look through from time to time and see, oh, that person shouldn't have been in there. Just like you would with a spam folder. But theoretically it's going to have less spam because I think this happens after normal spam filters have already worked. As you email people with gated on, it will automatically update your allow list to include those new people. And you can also go in and manually update it yourself. Protocol also notes that gated CEO Andy Mawat got the idea after he set up an auto reply on the day asking senders to send 10 cents to his Venmo if they wanted him to read their email. He promised to donate to the Wounded Warrior project and not only did many people donate, but some exceeded the request and donated $20 or even more. Yeah, because he was a CEO of a company. They wanted to give it to his inbox, right? I mean, I sort of like this idea. I know it's not going to work for everybody. As a journalist, not that I do journalism from day to day, but having been trained in journalism, journalists are not going to want to appear to be pay to play. Even if it's going to charity, they're not going to want somebody to feel like, oh, I have to pay to get this journalist to pay attention to me. That is a conflict of interest. But for a lot of people, I think they'll look at this and say, great, yeah, I love this. Just keep people away from me. Joel, would you do this? I have an issue with this. Believe me, I love charity. And for some reason, if I ran gated, I'd be like, send me a buck and I'll give it to Seattle Children's Hospital up here. That's easy, right? But what I'm wondering is, typically, I will get hundreds of spam messages a day. And typically, they come from mailboxes that don't exist or spoofed email addresses or whatever. And so if gated is taking care of this and you get a spam message, let's say I get 100 spam messages and gated intercepts that and then sends a reply to 100 spam messages saying you have to donate a dollar. Aren't we at that point generating more email traffic? Yes. I don't know if it's significant enough to make a difference yet. But that is an interesting thought experiment of like, at what scale, at what adoption level does gated, you know, I mean, it's still just email, which is very low bit rate on current bandwidth. But yeah, it's not impossible that it might cause server issues. And theoretically, wouldn't it cause the worst server issues on spam servers? It could or whoever they've spoofed to route through. Yeah, that's true because they route through those. But beyond that, so I kind of reserve judgment because I would want to talk to the people that actually want to utilize this service. Like I said, I get hundreds of spam messages and I use Google mail, but it catches 9 out of 10, 90 out of 100. It's really pretty good. It does have some false positives as well.  And so I'm really curious who's the target here. Who would want this? Who has that specific spam problem in their email that normal spam filters aren't able to correct for? And I'd love to hear their thoughts and see how they're using it. From the pitch, it sounds like they're talking about like people in business, you know, Bob business quote unquote. Because again, I haven't confirmed this, but I get the sense that your spam filter still works and that takes out 90% of the stuff and gated never even touches that. It's the, it's the stuff we used to call bacon. The stuff that's like, well, it's not exactly spam, but it's unsolicited and maybe it's a press release or somebody cold calling you that that's the stuff that it filters out.  I feel like that's the stuff gated is focused on and some people get a lot more of that than others.  I was just thinking, I, I think there's value there. And I think for me personally, I would, I just, I want to know more. Yeah. I tried to sign up so that I could figure out a little more how it worked directly. But I think this protocol article has got them swamped because I could not complete the sign up process. People hate spam. People want answers. Yeah. Yeah. And maybe that's good news for gated. Hey folks, if you've been enjoying our guests this week, please spread the word. We've been having amazing people like Joel on all week long. So if you could get out there and share a link to the episode from DTS show on Twitter, DTS picks on Instagram, send it to your friends and family by email. If they don't have gated and you won't get stopped, let them know they need to be listening to daily tech news show. Well, 3D printing is pretty great. You can 3D print tools for various projects. You can print art sculptures. You could even print something simple to replace a broken part around your house. But for a lot of people, unless you're already part of a DIY or maker community, getting started with 3D printing can be a little intimidating. People often think, well, I'm not skilled enough to participate having gone through the 3D printing area at CES over the years. I'm definitely in that camp. Thankfully, Joel, you have lots of experience in this area. So if somebody wants to get started in 3D printing, what do they need? Do they need a certain kind of computer setup? What's kind of the basis of this? Well, for a computer setup, a lot of times, it used to be you needed a somewhat powerful system to run the programs that would do CAD-based engineering way back in the day. Now, though, it's really great. You have things that are web-based. And so Chromebooks, even like the Chromebooks that schools provide to students, home desktop machines, laptops, iPads, iPhones, Android devices, all of those are now able to run the applications that allow you to create and mold and make all sorts of really cool 3D models. So, all right, you mentioned CAD software. A lot of people go, yeah, no, I didn't take, you know, that architectural dry in college. So does that help to have a basic understanding of that? Or is this just plug and play like it didn't used to be? It helps to always have a more in-depth understanding of the things that you're using. You don't have to know the history of hammers to use a hammer, but if you're going to be building a house, there's different types of fasteners that that hammer can hit in order to secure wood and metal beams together. I don't think CAD, it used to be that daunting sort of thing that a lot of people would do and just kind of hover over keyboard for hours. I mean, there's still people that do that. But if you can imagine drawing a line in two directions and then connecting them and then taking that square circle or shape that you've made and think about extruding it into 3D space, that's CAD at that point. You've made 3D geometry. And so being able to not just make it to lower the bar for access to these tools, but to make it so that these tools run on the devices that are ubiquitous within the population, then you have the barrier to entries lower and you have a lot more people learning about the concepts of making these 3D geometries that might have been too complex before. All right, so let's say you say, okay, I thought this is going to be harder. I'm ready to jump in. Does it matter what the project is that you want to achieve? Is that going to determine the model or type of 3D printer that you end up buying?  Let's say you're starting out and you've got nothing.  I've seen Joel, I've seen others talk about 3D printing. I'm interested. How do I get started? It's a great way to think about it because a lot of times necessity drives the need. There's a lot of people that get started with 3D printing because perhaps they're doing D&D miniatures or they are role-playing games where they have miniatures, they want to be able to make those in real life. Or there are projects around the house that need the advantages that 3D printing has, jigs and fixtures and little things to kind of help with day-to-day life. Once you've identified it, and also another need is just because it's really cool. I'm not going to lie to you. It's just really cool. So if you can't define your need, then being able to pick out a machine and a material to use really is just part of the next process. It's more simple to get into additive manufacturing, 3D printing now than it ever has been before. So I mentioned, you know, liking this to buy an ink for an inkjet printer. Filaments is the material that 3D printers use, but they're not all the same, right? How do you know what kind of filament you need? Is it again, you know, if you're looking at the instructions for a project, it'll tell you or you just kind of play around and see what works best? You can actually have, we have what's called a BOM or a Bill of Materials, and a lot of times it'll list out models that need to be printed in order to create the project. And it'll tell you not just the materials to use, but the settings for the printer to make it the best. I think getting into this, you start with a really simple material. So a really simple material for 3D printing is called PLA. It's a corn-based and it melts at one of the lower temperatures. It comes in lots of pretty colors. And it's just, it's one of the easiest materials to print with. But I would imagine if you had a specific use in mind, then you would go researching the right material for the job because all sorts of materials have different temperatures that they melt at. They have different mechanical properties as far as stretching or rigidity or being able to withstand certain limits. It's one of those things. And I liken it to being able to utilize a tool for something else. If you're going to build something, you're going to do some research into the right materials of how you're going to build it. It's exactly the same with the filaments for 3D printing. If you're just doing some decorative things, there's a good chance that PLA is going to work for you. If it's going to exist outside and it's really sunny where you're at, there's a filament called ASA, which has some UV resistance. If it has to withstand really high temperatures, perhaps you go with something called ABS. It's the same material that LEGO is made from. Perhaps you have to think about a material with, that has to replace a metal part in an industry. You can look at materials like peak, peck, or ultim, and those materials are on the industrial side, but those can actually be... The geometries that you can print with these materials can actually sometimes replace metals. Wow. So, all right, let's say, I'm thinking of projects around my house. I actually have a tell rack that broke recently. It's made of wood. It was a stupid tell rack to begin with, but I don't even know how to replace this thing. Is that too ambitious for a first project? Do people do things like print tell racks? Or should I start with something that's just like, make something that looks like a LEGO? Sarah, this is perfect. This is absolutely... I'm not kidding. This is perfect because you have a use in mind, a tell rack. Essentially, if you think about it, you're like, okay, take it apart into its components. A rack has a holder over here and a holder over here, and there's a bar in the middle. And most likely, then, if you're going to use 3D printing, that bar in the middle, probably not something that needs to be 3D printed because you can get a wooden dowel or a metal rod, or maybe the tell rack, maybe the sides where wood and this wasn't or something. I don't know. Being able to have something with a lot of structural... structural rigidity over that length, it's a towel, you could find a way like a wooden dowel or something, but the things that hold it on the end, that's perfect for 3D printing because in your head, you know it's there, and you kind of will probably have a general idea of what you want. If you put on paper, you could start to sketch some things just to kind of how it would look, and then you go to a 3D program such as Tinkercad, which is web-based, and it's essentially shape math. You can take a cube and add a sphere to it and then subtract that sphere from the cube and you're left with this 3D geometry.  And if it doesn't work or if it doesn't look exactly like what you're thinking, the great part about this 3D printing is you've probably only used pennies worth of material and you can go through Tinkercad and adjust your design little bits here and there and then print it out again and try it again. That's amazing. Well, before we wrap up this very interesting conversation that has me thinking all sorts of stuff, like where's my 3D printer going to go in the studio? Explain something called 87 Days of 3D Printing with Neil Patrick Harris. That was fun. So a couple of years ago, Neil tweeted out that he wanted to get back into 3D printing and he asked for people's advice and tagged a few manufacturers and hundreds of people replied saying, you should just talk to Joel. And at the time my producer knew someone who knew someone who knew his assistant. And so taking that information and sending it up the chain saying, hey, maybe we should work together. A lot of people are suggesting this. It didn't go anywhere at the time. It was about a year later. And then all of a sudden we got contacted because that person I think left and there was a new person but through my producer said, hey, let's get started with this. And we worked out a live stream. So Neil and I streamed live on YouTube for about two hours where he got a certain 3D printer and he set it up and he did his first print. It went really well. He was really excited. And so we started thinking about a project that we could do and I had these machines that could print really long parts. And so the project was to create these old frames. Like if you imagine old picture frames found in an attic that are gold and dusty and worn. So we, I had some friends who are really good at design, design this frame.  And then we, I shipped it all via UPS to Neil next day. I actually never mentioned this, it was $1,800 to ship all of these parts to Neil on the other side of the States. Cause I'm here in Seattle. I shipped them out to New York and I went to UPS at 4pm. They were on his doorstop the next day at 9am. It was crazy. But he and his husband, his kids got the parts, put them all together, painted them up. And then I and my team flew out there to kind of do some of the final work and show them off.  It was an amazing experience. Absolutely amazing. Well, Joel, this so much great information that you've given us and for anybody who's taking notes at home, we will have a lot of links that are helpful for everything that Joel mentioned in our show notes. But, but we really appreciate you being on the show. So much fun. Again, thank you. Such good info. Let folks know where they can keep up with everything that you do so they don't miss another cool project. Sure. If you go to YouTube and look up 3D printing nerd, that's me. You can actually go to youtube.com forward slash 3D printing nerd. That'll get you right where you need to go. Also, I'm very active on Twitter. I'm at Joel telling pretty easy. If you just go look up either Joel telling or 3D printing nerd on most social media networks, you'll find me. And I'd love to hear from you. Great. Well, thank you so much again for being with us, Joel. Thank you. Also, thanks to our brand new bosses. We got two of them today. Alexander and Benjamin just started backing us on Patreon.
