G'day, how you going? Welcome to bootlossophy, and my name is Tech. I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands on which I live, the Wajik people of Nongabuja. Now today, I'm taking a look at another RM Williams Chelsea boot, another comfort craftsman, this time in the makeup of their caramel calf skin. So this is not my first rodeo with RM Williams. If you've followed my channel, you'll remember that I have reviewed other RM Williams boots before. You can check out my first review of them up here, the classic craftsman in black calf skin. This one right here is the comfort craftsman version, where the classic craftsman has a leather outsole. The comfort craftsman has a comfort foam-based inner sole with better arch support and a medium thickness rubber outsole. It is a Chelsea boot design. The pull-on design with the side elastic goreng panels was created in the mid 1800s. They were first made for Queen Victoria by her bootmaker as a walking and riding boot. In the 1960s, of course, they became famous as the Chelsea boot, when they were worn by 60s pop music bands like the Beatles in Chelsea. This is a six-inch boot, has a 270 degree Goodyear welt, has a block heel, as I said, a rubber outsole, square shaped goreng panels, and a slim chisel-shaped toe. This also has a comfort lining inside, which is basically a rubber insole and a rubber cavity midsole with molding up the arch for more support. As you can see, although it comes from RM's early designs as a paddock work boot, the comfort craftsman is a very sleek looking boot. The sleekness is accentuated because it is whole-cut.  As it is a three-quarter Goodyear welted boot, the line up the back of the boot avoids a Goodyear welted shelf and shows a sleek line where the uppers join the heel, a bit like a dress shoe. Don't mistake this for a dress boot though. It was originally built and still retains the tough standards of a paddock work boot. Now to my American viewers, think of this like a Western ranch boot. And in fact, where I go for work to the top end of Australia, where many of my clients run cattle stations, they and their workers still wear the craftsman as working boots. But many Australians will now wear the RM Williams' with a suit or in business casual for any offer situation. The caramel colour here stands out more than the standard black, brown or chestnut. So they're probably not as suitable to be worn with a suit. But you can certainly wear them in business casual situations with chinos, a button down and a sports coat. The slim Chelsea design is very versatile, so you can also wear them for relaxed social occasions in jeans and a jumper. And ultimately, don't forget that as work boots, people will wear them with jeans and t-shirts or work shirts. Apart from the craftsman model, RM Williams also make a few other Chelsea boots for both men and women, as well as a couple of lace up models. Each of their models and especially the craftsman and the comfort craftsman comes in a variety of uppers in different leathers and colours. RM Williams, the company, was founded by Reginald Murray Williams in 1932. RM was a swag man, that's a jobbing labourer, on outback sheep and cattle stations in South Australia, where he learned leatherworking from another mustering horseman. RM started with making saddles and made up enough money to start a shop in the Adelaide suburb of Prospect. The company grew in Prospect, making RM a rich man. RM eventually sold out and the company changed hands several times and was owned by various hedge funds and international luxury brands. It's now been bought by Western Australian mining magnet Andrew Forrest, who has made a commitment to bring all manufacturing back to Australia. To be fair though, the manufacture of their boots has never left Australian shores, unlike some of the accessories and clothing. The 270 degree Goodyear welt attaches the front two thirds of the uppers to the leather insole and the rubber outsole. In Goodyear welting, a strip of leather called the welt goes around the edge of the boot, in this case around the front two thirds, and it's sewn to the inside of the boot. The sole is attached and sewn to the welt on the outside and in this way the welt not only forms a moisture barrier, but it also means that it's easier to re-sole. If you want to go into the detail of Goodyear welting, check out my video up there. The back end is glued and sewn directly to the leather insole and uppers. This produces that nice sleek line from ankle to heel that I talked about earlier. The outsole is an oil resistant rubber that's been moulded with a gritty texture to give a good grip. The sole is proprietary and has a long horn RM Williams logo. The rubber is soft yet sturdy, giving good shock absorption and durability over city paving and country sand and gravel. The midsole is leather. There is a cork filler and in the cork is a fiberglass shank for stability and arch support. On top of that is a leather insole and then a foam comfort insole with arch support. All that combined makes for excellent shock absorption. The fiberglass shank is really useful if you're a traveller because it's airport friendly. The heel and the toe box are lightly structured with composite material stiffness. The boot is fully leather lined from the vamp right up to the shaft. The uppers leather is calf skin sourced from either Australian or New Zealand tanneries. This calf skin used is a full grain leather and it's really tough in my experience, resisting all kinds of scuffs and scratches. Caring for it is easily done by brushing it regularly to keep it dust free and conditioning it when it feels dry with something like Venetian shoe cream. This colorway is called caramel and you can see that after five or six years of wear and conditioning, it's turned quite a bit darker than I remember it when new into an almost toffee like burnt caramel color. This is a whole cut, meaning that only one piece of leather with only one seam at the back, which is an extremely difficult lasting task that requires a lot of skill. At the top of the shaft are the two RM Williams cloth pull tabs and the shaft itself is cut and sewn so that the throat is quite tight and secured by the elastic goring, which is firm around the ankle. This is important because the elastic goring and the snugness of the shaft is what makes a Chelsea fit really securely, or that in the snugness over the instep. The RM Williams craftsman last fits most people's feet around the ankles and the instep if you buy the right size. So let's look at sizing. RM Williams uses the UK sizing convention like Weiber does. The UK sizing convention is one number down from the US sizing convention. Now take my example. I measure seven and a half in UK sizing in an average G width in RM Williams wide measurements. In US sizing, that's a Brannock Truder size of eight and a half in average D width. The RM Williams craftsman has a very slim last and despite my true seven and a half, I find that I have to size up to an 8G. A seven and a half wide was too roomy in the waist and heel for me. Now that's me, though. For most people, I think you'll find Truder sizes good. Once fitted, these were perfectly comfortable out of the box. There was a little break in period because my right foot is slightly wider, but it only took a couple of ways to stretch it out. I bought these five or six years ago when they were around 500 Aussie dollars. Since then, they've rocketed in price and now sell for 649 Australian dollars. Are they worth it? I don't really know what to compare them with, to be honest, to figure out a comparable price to value ratio. To be honest, there are no other Australian makes that are in this class. Another Australian quality brand is the Thomas George Collection. And you can watch my review of their Frio service boot up there. You know, but those, good as they are, are made in Vietnam, if that's important to you. Blanestones and redbacks, not all necessarily made in Australia and other similar types. They're no comparison, really, because those are glued TPU souls and they have less quality construction and material. So I suppose I'd have to compare these to imported boots. White's boots sell here for nearly 1000 Australian dollars. Even Grantstone Chelsea's, if you think the quality is similar, land in Australia after post and duties at over 600 Aussie. So price wise, they kind of compare. Well, if you look at the price, quality value ratios, tell you what, though, my suspicion not being privy to R and Williams books is that while they do use premium materials and they do use expert and experienced Aussie labor in an Australian factory at high occupation costs, there's probably a hefty make a markup for international marketing costs and the luxury brand factor. Are they worth it? Well, it's economics, supply and demand. There is clearly a demand for R and Williams boots at a price of 649 Aussie dollars. So in summary, I think this is an awesome and good looking boot. It's stylish and versatile. It's made well, uses quality materials by expert hands. I can vouch for its sturdiness and hardiness. My pair in black calves can have lasted nearly 20 years with hardly a scratch. But then there is the price, not great. But hey, people buy it and not just Australians. It's wildly popular in Asia in the UK. And while not as big as a market, it sells well in the US. There you have it. Hey, if you like the review, don't forget to click on the like.

Hello, how are you guys this week? It is Monday down at Frankie's huge meet We're gonna start it outside because the tape guns driving me crazy, but it is a really really Beautiful and nice day perfect sky Unusually warm for the end of February, but I'll take it reminding me how I should be on a beach in Colombia with some girls sitting on my lap But we'll keep it professional today Starting with the dairy so you guys know we're now carrying dairy straight from the farm a 2a2 grass straight from the farm You guys catch my drift and stop sending me emails trying to incriminate me But on Tuesday around afternoon, we will be restocking all of the dairy this week I think we still have some milk left, but that's all going out today We're gonna have butter cream yogurt fresh cheese more milk Kaffir basically key for how you want to say it basically any fresh dairy product you want We're gonna have it restock on Tuesday So make sure because it usually sells out within an hour or two But we're getting the farmer to up production and we should be able to have a consistent amount every single week Also, the fresh beef share is coming Wednesday with the dairy Some of you guys pre-ordered it you've been waiting a week or two for it So we will be sending out the fresh beef as soon as possible on Wednesday Thursday So this is kind of like the last call this week if you guys want the fresh beef share Order as soon as possible, please We should have a few left and then the next time I'll do it maybe in another two or three weeks Or who knows maybe I will be on a beach in Columbia and we won't be doing the fresh beef share So it's closer to the end of the day. My guys have finished packing up all of the meat orders for the most part I will be doing the eggs tomorrow I did want to say if you guys are in California or on the West Coast, you know, California Washington, Oregon those states If you could please order like a little more than the minimum because right now it's a hundred dollars for free shipping But you know, I've really been considering increasing it to a hundred twenty five or a hundred fifty because a lot of the time When we're shipping to California those those low orders, you know, we haven't been getting too much of them But if you keep the order between a hundred fifty and two hundred dollars for California, we're kind of okay So we'll see I don't want to have to do any like fees or any sort of Minimum specifically for those states if I can avoid it, but it's it's kind of creeping up now You know with all the price increases and the shipping and all that stuff It's a little hard to ship to California for free for a hundred dollars now I mean when we started Frankie series me three years ago I had the anticipation that we would do a West Coast warehouse, but I can't duplicate myself So at this point in time we're kind of stuck shipping from one location So we're gonna hop in the freezer real quick just show you guys what's going on this week And then we'll talk about the new stuff Just have a few thyroid glands left over here, but everything should be coming in this week So the testicles the ovaries Adrenals thymus anything you guys have been waiting for all the glands should be restocked within a week or two We have the organ grind on sale right now ten dollars running out every week for the most part But we have a fresh batch in for you guys plenty of organ grind We have a decent amount of the organic sirloin steaks left all of the rib eyes on the steak sale are completely sold out We do have some organic strip steaks left and a pretty good amount of regular strip steaks I put these on a discount a really good price on the website guys I think they're like five or six dollars right now for like a ten ounce steak, which is kind of crazy I might lower it even further I just want to you know keep things moving as soon as possible and keep it fresh for you guys So we finally ran out of a few things in the beef share and this is going to be the new one We have one piece of beef scrapple, which is about two pounds We have one piece of beef bologna, which is one pound and then we have The smoked sausage and then we have the the spice sausage So there's one two three four items about five pounds around fifty dollars guys And honestly to charge, you know less than fifteen dollars a pound for this quality of me with these custom organic spice blends We're kind of breaking even but you know we want to get rid of this stuff and then get a new batch in of hot dogs and Just something that's a bit more affordable for you guys Yeah, cuz I don't want you guys have to spend a hundred fifty two hundred dollars just to get you know ten fifteen different items in the beef share We're gonna get rid of this and the next time we do it It's just gonna be like two or three items So you spend twenty or thirty bucks and you can just try a few things at a time on the main restocks this week We have the Iberico strip steaks back which are unfortunately price increase a little more expensive And we did get the canoe marrow bones back in stock you guys prefer these over the pipe bones and Maybe the marrow butter will come back in soon, but not really sure. Yeah, the Iberico price increases having pretty bad over these past few months I mean the stuff was expensive in the first place It's the most famous pork in the world, but now it's like all right, you know We don't want it to be a super luxury thing. We wanted it to be somewhat affordable So hopefully something comes up in the next few months whether we find a local farmer that has the pasture raised corn and Pork or I get my own Processing plant and I do it myself, which is really the solution to everything. Unfortunately speaking of Iberico pork I ordered in a few hundred pounds of Iberico pork trim and we are going to make the best quality Sausages possible So it's really just going to be an Iberico pork breakfast sausage with like a little bit of maple syrup in it And they're probably gonna be around fifteen dollars a pound I think that's the lowest we can charge but I think they're gonna be really really really delicious And it's definitely going to be a super special thing. Let's see what's in the fridge still have some buttermilk in stock And I think this is the rest of the milk, maybe I missed one container of butter here looks pretty good We also restocked a lot of the cheeses. That's the a to a to Colby We have all the European cheeses for the most part back in stock We also have cheddar for the a to a to cheeses Then we have the American cheddar and then we have Emmett Holler some blue cheese here fontina, manchego pecorino Parmigiano Reggiano, and then there's some asiago and we should get everything back in in another week or two And I think I think we're missing one or two cheeses over here The last roast beef should I take it from you guys for my lunch? No, you guys were like on a hiatus from ordering this and now you're just buying it all So we're gonna have to up the production a little bit and make some more We made a whole fresh batch today to ship out Monday and now we're gonna have to do another batch tomorrow to send the rest out Tuesday and while we're standing on top of the water key for I will mention we also started adding Some garyl steiner water in here for some calcium. So now it has all the electrolytes sodium potassium magnesium and calcium Very special product. So we're sending out all the egg orders on wednesday, but hopefully next week We will also have some duck eggs. We have the corn and soy free chicken. Do you guys see that tape gun? It's I'm using my mind There's got to be something quieter if you guys know let me know that work in a warehouse. What can I use besides a tape gun? So in addition to the corn and soy free chicken eggs, we should be carrying corn and soy free duck eggs More limited amount, but if you guys buy them and like them We can definitely ramp up the production Obviously, they're going to be more expensive than chicken eggs because they're larger. I think around 11 or 12 dollars a dozen I almost forgot to show you guys We do have a sourdough starter now available on frankiesurianfoods.com So if you guys want to make your own sourdough bread, you don't have to wait You know a week or two for the natural fermentation to start I will say there's nothing else like this online because this is made with organic flour and glass bottled mineral water So from a quality perspective in glass two doesn't really exist But we kind of covered everything for the most part today guys We did run out of the pemmican and the banana rice crisp bar last week But we do have the to tomies vegan cookies and the best bars. We should be making more pemmican and more um Of the banana rice crisp bar this week. So we should have all the bars in stock So I'll have to very kind review on the cookies the new recipe See if I can find it Hi, frank a month ago. I complained about the cookies and you immediately reached a new recipe Which I just tried for the first time two minutes ago. Did you lace this with crack? Holy? That's the best cookie I've ever had. Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for Uh, so you guys have really been enjoying the new chocolate chip cookie recipe I'm assuming he's talking about the regular chocolate chip with the walnut and the hazelnut Which I like a lot really really delicious. Uh, the white chocolate macadamia nuts also very very good, but Um, you know the trade-off is you know less caffeine Doesn't taste as good, but I think that's all we're going to cover today guys I'll make sure to take some clips this week of the Fresh beef share and all of the dairy products right when they come in and there's also some meat deliveries coming So you know keeping things moving providing you guys with high quality products Organ supplements wi-fi shielding frankie's naturals same stuff for the most part I've been feeling a lot better taking more b vitamins wi-fi shielding always wearing the stuff I think we'll do some more videos on tiktok about that and frankie's naturals is just it's just whatever I got a haircut. So maybe I'll put some pomade in my hair But as always thank you guys so much for joining You can go to frank dash to found.com where you'll see all my businesses Especially frankie syringe meat just make sure to sign up on the website guys for the emails and all that stuff Because like when the dairy does come in stock when I get new stuff when I do like exclusive stuff You all get an email notification and you know you're missing That music that guy it's louder than I'm talking and it's like 30 feet away from me Anyway guys, please drop a like on the video leave a comment down below Make sure to subscribe check the notification bell and I'll try to do Whiteboard video for you guys tomorrow if I'm up to it, which I usually am


In this video, we are going to look at some of the anomalous properties of nitrogen. The properties that make nitrogen different and unique from the rest of the group 15 elements. You see, nitrogen literally is 70% of her atmosphere. It is extremely inert in nature and yet nitrogen when combined in the form of ammonia is one of the most useful substances in the world. In fact, figuring out a scalable way to make the inert nitrogen react to form ammonia was one of the greatest challenges of the 20th century. And thanks to Haber's process, we have now no worry regarding the production of ammonia. Now coming to the chemistry of nitrogen, nitrogen differs from the rest of the members in a number of ways, such as it has small size, high electronegativity, high ionization enthalpy, exhibits multiple oxidation states, and it has the unique ability to form strong p-pi-p-pi bonds and also compared to the others, nitrogen has no empty d orbitals available. But what are the consequences? How do these properties affect the chemistry of nitrogen? Let's see. Because of its small size and high electronegativity, nitrogen has the unique ability to form hydrogen bonds. This is why ammonia forms hydrogen bonds whereas the larger, less electronegative phosphorus has no such possibility. That is, phosphine does not form any hydrogen bonds but ammonia forms. Now coming to ionization enthalpy, due to its large ionization enthalpy, nitrogen cannot lose its valence electrons easily and therefore prefers to form covalent bonds. Just like that, the ability to exhibit multiple oxidation states actually makes nitrogen pretty versatile. For example, these are the oxidation states of nitrogen in different compounds. So let's now talk about how nitrogen forms strong p-pi-p-pi bonds and how it affects its chemistry. You see, just like carbon of group 14, nitrogen has the unique ability to form p-pi-p-pi bonds with itself and with elements that are similar in size and have high electronegativity like carbon and oxygen. For example, nitrogen can combine with itself to form diatomic nitrogen molecule. It can combine with carbon to form cyanide ion. It can combine with oxygen to form nitrosonium ion as you can see here. Now in the case of diatomic nitrogen molecule, as you can see here, we have a triple bond just like the others and this triple bond is formed by 1 sigma and 2 pi bonds where the sigma bond is formed by the head-on overlap of the 2 sp orbitals whereas the 2 pi bonds are formed by the parallel overlap of the unhybridized p orbitals. And as a result of the strong p-pi-p-pi bonding, its bond enthalpy is also very high. That is the bond enthalpy of diatomic nitrogen is very high and this is what it makes nitrogen molecule inert at room temperature. Now even though nitrogen is inert at room temperature, we can activate it or make it more reactive by increasing the temperature and this is something that we exploit easily in the Haber's process where we force our inert nitrogen to combine with hydrogen and form ammonia using conditions like very high temperature of 700 Kelvin and high pressure. In fact when you increase the temperature, nitrogen can react directly with various elements and even some transition metals. Now the interesting thing to note here is that even though all of them have triple bonds, it is only nitrogen that is inert at room temperature whereas CN minus and NO plus are more reactive than nitrogen and this is because their bonds are more polar. CN minus and NO plus are more polar due to the electronegativity difference between nitrogen in carbon and nitrogen in oxygen. Now coming back to nitrogen, this evolutative form strong p-pi-p-pi bonds makes nitrogen very special because unlike nitrogen, the residue members cannot form these bonds. This is because as you go down the groove their atomic size increases right and their atomic orbitals are much larger or more diffused than nitrogen and that means they cannot form effective overlapping as you can see in this case and this is why all the other members form single bonds whereas nitrogen forms triple bonds and if you look at a single bond of nitrogen it is extremely unstable. You see nitrogen atom is really very small and when it forms a single bond the non-bonding electrons are too close to each other and they repel each other very strongly and this inter-electronic repulsion is what makes nitrogen single bonds extremely thermodynamically unstable. So if you extend this, if the single Nn bond is not strong enough or stable enough, it would consequently affect its catenation tendency, right? Exactly. Because of the weak Nn bonds, nitrogen actually has a very poor catenation tendency. Now I thought we could discuss one more property which is the unavailability of deorbitals in nitrogen but looks like that would make this video very heavy to comprehend. So let's discuss that in a short video next.

As President Biden gets older, more and more of his day is just spent lying around. I love soup. I mean, I think I love soup.  Which one do you shoot? Duck, sir. Are you all right, sir? Of course I'm all right. Why? What have you heard? I mean, in the evening. He lies in bed earlier and earlier. But sir, we didn't have dinner the other night. Really? Well, how was I? I know there's Cheryl. And the afternoon, he gets up from lying in bed later and later. It's the final orders. We strike tomorrow at 0600. Excellent. Wake me up at 0530. Then walks to the podium to address the American people. Slend me your ears. That's disgusting. Where? He just continues to lie. Many of you are wondering what's wrong with my pants. Well, they started running short of material right before they got to the knee.  When done lying at the podium, he lies back down for a nap. My ear canals are very sensitive. We have these to hold down the sound, sir. Oh, good. Thanks. Let's hope they do the trick. Where he dreams of lying.  Just look out there. Quiet. They're hardly man-moving. Roy? Roy! Huh? I even went to school with that man. He's just not the same. He's been ignoring me all day.


Cause it seems to fall flat on its face when you put it under just like five seconds of scrutiny. I'm scrolling through my Facebook comments on my, one of my latest reels on Facebook and someone has left a comment. Vegans aren't squeaky clean, lol. So I go to the link that they posted and it says parents sentenced over neglect of child on vegan only diet. A Sydney couple who had their three children taken away from them when police found their 20 month old girl was severely malnourished and suffering from rickets after being fed on a strict vegan diet. But what were they feeding this child? Oats, bread and a few mouthfuls of vegetables daily. That just looks like a irresponsible parenting. This same anti-vegan posted another one. Vegan mum gets life in prison for starvation death of son. A vegan woman, of course, it's vegan, vegans are terrible. A vegan woman convicted of murder in the malnutrition death of her young son was sentenced on Monday to life in prison. What was she doing? Investigators said the couple told them the family ate only raw fruits and vegetables, although the toddler was also fed on breast milk. The 18 month old boy weighed eight kilograms and was the size of a seven month old baby when he died. Looks like bad parenting there, doesn't it? Looks like bad parenting. Now a vegan diet, if it's adequately planned can be healthy for all stages of the life cycle but what you have here is irresponsible parenting. I don't have to explain why this is a bad argument.  Mother neglects child who starved to death. Here we go.  Is this a vegan? Let me just control F, vegan. Nothing about them being vegan. That's interesting. Let's go to another one. This happens very often by the way. Here's one in the Guardian in April. A mother who starved son at three years old to death found not guilty due to insanity.  So someone who's religious, she was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. Let me just control F, vegan. No, nothing about veganism here. Why doesn't the headline say meat eater starves child to death? I know why because there's like two or three articles of bad vegan parenting and then people take that and use it as an argument against veganism. Most vegans are not insane psychopaths who feed their kid a handful of oats and a couple of vegetables and that's it. In fact, my nieces are both vegan and they're perfectly healthy. Veganism is a ethical principle against the rights violations of animals.  The silly part of this, right? For every example, you can show me of a vegan parent neglecting their children. Nothing to do with feeding them a well-balanced nutritionally adequate plant-based diet with an additional supplement if they need. Everything to do with the parents being irresponsible, not mentally well. For every single article you can find, I can find orders of magnitude more parents who've abused, neglected, starved, their child who are meat eaters. It's an incredibly terrible argument because it backfires to a degree of orders of magnitude back on anyone who tries to do this to debunk veganism.  I've gone through and found some so you don't have to.  So therefore, meat-eating leads to cannibalism. Doesn't sound like something a vegan would do, eh? That sounds like a little bit worse parenting, actually. But I suppose it meets meat, eh? She brought him into the world so the child wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her. I mean, you hear farmers making this argument and the animals wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me. And I wonder if she killed them humanely, actually. And what does a baby do anyway?  So, you know, and it was her, it's her son. Like, you could use so many silly, and she needed some protein.  And here's another one.  Hmm, doesn't sound like something a vegan would do. Let's keep going.  Three-week-old boy found dismembered in a bedroom, heartbreaking story, terrible. And what's this one here? Bizarre, mother kills, cooks and eats her young son.   You know, so you can find these examples. Orders of magnitude, more examples. Every single mass atrocity, mass murder, mass killing, you name it.  The vast, extreme vast majority are going to be non-vegans who do these things. Just by virtue of there being less vegans on earth. And I'm not saying that all vegans are completely sane. You know, but I think that if you practice a philosophy that is against the rights violations and killing and suffering of non-human animals, then you're less likely to engage in that same rights violation towards a human being. And definitely not going to think of killing and eating a human being, that's for sure.  One famous anti-vegan argument that you'll hear is that Hitler was a vegan. Obviously, if Hitler was a vegan, then veganism is akin to Nazism. Or if you're vegan, it's going to lead to the horrible things that Hitler did.  One, he was not a vegan, nowhere near. Two, he was not even a vegetarian. There's plenty of historical context. I think his chef even wrote an autobiography thing. His favorite food was pigeon or squab. When Hitler came to power in 1933, he banned all the vegetarian societies in Germany. Arrested their leaders, shut down the main vegetarian magazine published in Frankfurt during the war, banned all vegetarian organizations in the territories it occupied. Even though vegetarian diets would have helped alleviate food shortages, this is from the Eternal Treblinka. Read the Eternal Treblinka, it's a fantastic book. Yeah, Hitler might have periodically stopped eating meat because he had something, I think he had something, a stomach issue was like a health thing. But in no way was he doing this because he cared for the rights of animals. Hitler was a psychopath, essentially, and he wasn't a vegetarian. Let's just entertain the fact that he was. Let's just say he was a vegetarian. Let's just say he was a vegetarian for ethical reasons. He was like a hated people, but he loved animals for some reason. It wouldn't matter. Just because you can find an anecdote of someone who doesn't eat meat and is also a psychopath, there are, again, orders of magnitude, more psychos and more dictators who are not vegan or not vegetarian. Now, Hitler was also against smoking cigarettes. So therefore, if you find anyone who's also against smoking, would you use that as an argument for them to smoke because Hitler was against smoking so you don't want to be like Hitler? Absolute nonsense. So when someone pulls out this vegan starve their children, I would say something like this. I could just hitch it back with that, times a million, a billion. Most pedophiles, most sadistic cannibals, most mass murderers, most dictators, most of the horrible things are committed by meat eaters. It's a terrible argument. It's got nothing to do with the vegan philosophy. The vegan philosophy is a philosophy that would lead to peace. It would lead to world peace. It would lead to people being less violent to each other. I know from experience, I was a violent person and I was involved with the gang world and this and that. When I became a vegan and become sober and left the gangs and left that environment, being a vegan was actually a huge part of me understanding how sentient beings suffer and why they deserve rights and all of these things led me to understand human injustices on a deeper level.  Basically logical consistency. You can't be for animal rights and against human rights. You shouldn't be for human rights and against animal rights. These two things are linked. So I think speciesism is the root cause of a lot of discrimination.  So if we lower the humans down to the status of animals, then it's fine to sort of attack vermin, isn't it? If we viewed like rats and pigs and animals with more respect, you could never put someone in that kind of box, which is a speciesism box, which maybe Hitler could have learned that lesson. This argument is terrible, one of the worst, I think. I thought I'd make this video so you'd have something in your arsenal to hit back at people. And anyone who uses this argument, I would stop using it. The media seemed to take the ball and run with it. It's a bit sus, isn't it? It's a bit suspicious. It's because vegans have such an accusation against animal abusers and the horrible things that happen in order to get this flesh from these animals, that they're looking for anything to try to levy back against vegans. People tend to feel guilty about what happens to animals. And when people tend to feel guilty, they tend to point the finger at you and go, what about crop deaths?  Therefore, I don't have to really change, you know? Let's just make accusations against vegans. I think it comes from a place of guilt and it's a terrible argument. It should not be used. And have you ever heard this argument? Leave it in the comments section below and I'll see you all in the next video. Peace.


Hi guys, this is Jason here from Nathaniel School of Music in this tutorial We are going to learn the great Adele song someone like you in this video I'm going to teach you and focus primarily on that intro which Incidentally can also be used for the entire verse section. So in the future, you know Once you leave me a comment and let me know what you thought about this one And then let me know if you'd like me to do the next Remaining part of the song. We will do the pre-chorus. We will do the chorus and everything in between So the arpeggio pattern is rather straightforward But the choices of notes played by the pianist are incredible, right? So it's very very tactically played. So it's not just a major Going to like D major or something. There's a lot going on a lot of colorful chords and a lot of simple chords Sometimes sometimes it's just a fifth chord. It's not even a triad So if you don't know any of what I just said now theoretically, that's exactly what we are going to first do We are going to dive into the scale. We are going to break down the right hand in the left hand Stay along with me bring out your keyboards get a book out if you need to write something down and For those of you who read sheet music the notation is available on our patreon You could head over there get yourselves a copy mute this Pause the video and then get a get the notation and follow along There are also some of my handwritten notes not only for this lesson as some of you know for pretty much all the other lessons So let's get cracking guys the songs on a major scale Three shafts, so that's a b c sharp d e f sharp g sharp a a g sharp f sharp a d c sharp a That's your a major scale and the primary chords used first of all the available chords are a major b minor C sharp minor d major e major f sharp minor G sharp diminished a major These are your basic triads And the song pretty much just uses or focuses on these respective triads So how we play this is just a chord progression So the chord progression for the main part of the song the intro and the verse will end up being a major Now the second chord is beautiful they go C sharp minor but over a different base normally you'd be playing a major C sharp minor with the C sharp base, but the second chord goes a major and a C sharp minor with a G sharp base and that's voiced very well, which I'm going to come to so first chord a major Then we go to a Simple f sharp fifth now you could also replace it if you're looking at just playing block chords with an f sharp minor Because an f sharp minor would be the sixth minor of the a major scale theoretically You don't want to play f sharp major that would be not weird, but it will be a secondary dominant Which would then have to resolve back to a diatonic chord. Hopefully so you go a major first chord C sharp minor over G sharp second chord third chord a Simple f sharp fifth as I'm hearing in the song But you could also play an f sharp minor and the fourth chord is a good old D major So it's a major C sharp over G sharp F sharp fifth and D major Repeat First thing you could do is just play these chords four times each and sing along if you know the tune Fourth part now coming to the pattern the pattern is a very simple Running arpeggio pattern So I'm going to demonstrate the pattern on the a major chord and then we'll graduate to the other chords So over a major This is what happens in the left hand for the first chord. They play a over a with e Which becomes like an a fifth chord and the right hand you go a major this way, but arpeggiated as Okay, L as I call it L M H M. What does that mean? low note middle note high note middle note And we play these as a eighth note so slightly faster would be great something like that So you could also count along that'll be One and two and three and four and one and two and three and four and one So it's two bars of each chord One and two and three and four and one and two and three and four and and for additional resonance You could kind of bring out the harmonics of each note of the piano by holding down the sustain pedal without Sounds nice But if you have one or the right pedal when you press it it starts sounding a lot more Resonant with a lot more of those additional overtones coming into the play That's with the pedal Depending on your piano or your piano emulation, it'll sound a lot nicer with the pedal on Okay, while all this stuff is happening in the right hand again the arpeggio is L M H M Low note middle note high note middle note while that is happening your left hand just drones the a fifth chord Pretty much for two bars. So it's like a semi-brief tied to another semi-brief Okay, could even count it as 16th notes, then it'll be four counts and four notes oney and counting in the arpeggio, but Whatever whatever be the case It's four of each. So four arpeggios of each one two three Getting ready to change to the next one. Okay first chord again I want your left hand to play a and C sharp not I want that's what Adele wants. That's in the song So a E and then a C sharp E in the right You could use these fingers because it'll help us play the next chord or you could even use these fingers thumb index middle or thumb middle pinky both work. Let's do that together slowly One and three and one All through the pedal is held and the left hand is also held don't lift your left hand Okay, guys So that was one out of the four chords of the intro coming to the remaining cause the next chord after the a major will be C sharp with a G sharp base and this is what the left hand is doing G sharp over E and The right hand goes G sharp C sharp E So I guess these fingers work great when you want to play G sharp C sharp E Give your thumb a little bit of a curve so that you don't you know kind of the cluster your clutter your hands And move them sideways and it gets very congested. So to avoid that Curve your thumb Okay, that's your second chord. Let's play that Four times each arpeggio so one second third four and now the next chord Which is C sharp minor over a G sharp base Again, let's just toggle a major proper a major C sharp minor slash G sharp Goes on Try to sing along as you play Second chord now the third chord is ridiculously easy you just go F sharp C sharp F sharp and the arpeggio pattern continues to be LMHM LMHM. So the third chord There we go F sharp C sharp F sharp C sharp F sharp C sharp F sharp C sharp With an F sharp C sharp drone in the left hand. So Third chord F sharp fifth so all three again F sharp fifth Last chord it's a normal D major Where you start on a so it's an inversion, right? It could also say second inversion of D major. That's the official term A D F sharp D back to our usual LMHM the arpeggio pattern doesn't change It's just the notes of the chord and the way the chord is voiced You could call that voicing on the piano and the left hand we go D and a so first chord left hand a E a major Second chord G sharp E C sharp minor over G sharp Third chord F sharp C sharp sort of F sharp minor last chord you go all the way down and play D fifth which is D a and the right hand you'll be playing the second inversion of D major Okay, last chord Now they play around with this last chord is played around with all through the verse I'm going to demonstrate that once we got the intro and the basic version or the Version basically in the intro of the song. So first chord a major C sharp minor over G sharp F sharp fifth D major A major Very slowly Second chord C sharp minor over G sharp F sharp minor Rather F sharp fifth A D F sharp Also try to play it with a lot of dynamics dynamics means a lot of volume control so you could go Louder softer As you wish I think As per your Requirement or whatever you want I Like to go loud in the middle of the bar because it's a long chord It's played long so in the middle it you can imagine it to be like a like a hill or a nice smooth hill Walking up and down a hill feels good to walk up a hill doesn't it? I Try to breathe to bring out More dynamics and more control There we go. That's pretty much the intro and the verse you could use this All through the verse and there are a couple of alternate verse ends Which I have notated also you which you can check out in the sheet. So it's a D major chord, right? So So there's one ending where they go F sharp D F sharp so at the end of verse one You could end with F sharp D F sharp D F sharp D F sharp and then at the end of verse number two we go something like That's F sharp a high F sharp a Okay, those are the the minute changes in the verse section in the intro you end or the fourth chord will be ad F sharp At the end of V1 you're gonna do For harmonic variety F sharp D F sharp then the end of V2 or the second part of the verse F sharp and then it goes to the next part Which I'll be happy to do an upcoming video including the chorus So do leave a comment with what you thought about this part learn it really well and then leave a comment Then do stay tuned. We'll definitely be rolling out the entire song someone like you very soon We just thought we'll do the intros for all these great songs put them in one playlist So at least you have that down which is and most of what I'm telling you in these Lessons where we say intros of these great piano riffs or great piano songs Will last you through most of the song It'll just be the chorus or one more part which is waiting to come in another video of mine very shortly So that's about someone like you. I don't think there's anything more to say in this part We've learned the intro a major scale for awesome chords great voicing a very vanilla tried-and-tested Apeggio pattern played with a lot of dynamics hold your pedal throughout the chord lift it and then play the next Chord and I hope I I think I've covered pretty much everything and for further reference There's the notation available on patreon again You'll find that link in the description and wherever else on our channel patreon.com will give you a lot of our notes and Notation of pretty much every single lesson we do on YouTube and which we will continue to do on YouTube Thanks for watching the video till the very end and don't forget to subscribe hit that bell icon for regular notifications We release at least three videos a week So it'll be great to have you as part of the Nathaniel family check out our website if you'd like to learn more.

Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Today's a massive day of football because we have got Champions League games back on tap and this time they are impacting live cards in this game. Guys, Road to the Knockouts cards that are playing games today could be one step closer to one of those upgrades by winning a match today that they are playing and that means they could be moving on the market. So we're gonna talk about that today and how to watch those Road to the Knockout prices as well as other SBC content may be related to the Champions League. They could be dropping today that actually you might have to be careful with because it could drop some prices if we get that SBC. So we're gonna talk about a lot today. If you're excited for it, drop a thumbs up and of course subscribe if you are new. Now, yesterday content overview, there wasn't much to talk about. There isn't much to talk about. All we have yesterday was the 78 plus upgrade pack which is the exact same SBC as we had last week on Monday for upgrades. It's just, we can do it unlimited number of times. Guys, this SBC in my opinion, while it does seem to give out a consistent number of 82s and 83s, a double gold upgrade is just better than that. It really just is. You turn in three more players but you get two players back and the weight on the gold upgrade still seems to be halfway decent and better compared to the 78 plus where you only get one player. Just kind of mid, right? All around. Yesterday's content was very quiet and those upgrade packs, a lot of people are just doing a couple of them because they can't afford to do a lot which makes sense. Now, I think gold cards actually did kick up in price a little bit on the market. We're talking the non-rear golds, people are going out and I think they're still about into selling for 400 coins. Some, you can probably get lazy sales at 450 or 500 as people are going and doing those SBCs just to have a chance of packing in order to the knockouts. So be careful with that but probably not worth putting a lot of coins into right now. Now, of course, with the content being as kind of quiet as it was yesterday that meant good things for the market. A lot of player prices are going upwards. Griezmann touched 100,000 coins right now. He's 101K after being in a 90K range. I mean, guys, Griezmann was 70K just a couple of days ago last weekend, right? He was 83,000 coins. I've ever seen him on Friday at one point at like 79,000 coins and a nice rise here and he's not the only card that is going up. Rafael Leao, 160,000 coins. Guys, player prices continue to rise very substantial amounts because people are getting coins, they're going and building teams and it's that demand for the upcoming weekend league that is pushing prices higher. Heroes, icons are going a lot higher in price. I sold Rudy Valar on I think Friday or Saturday for 770 and he's now consistently right around or above 800,000 coins for his card. A lot of those types of players are rising, icons are going up in price. Informs out of packed special cards. Team of the week one, Mohamed Salah is reaching new high prices. Doku, Dibala, Lemondalski are back. Even team of the week that are in packs right now, German Suns almost 600K. What a rise from where he was on Sunday at 490,000 coins up over 100,000 from that point. Prices are rising basically all across the market right now on this game and it's because the content's not that great and people are continuing to play to upgrade their teams and all of that. Now, unless we get a big supply or a massive SBC this week guys, I really feel like the market should keep going, right? We're finally getting some of that demand for these players and people building wads and teams of the utmost quality for week in week that are starting to see these prices rise which is super duper nice especially for those of us who have invested like I have and you're waiting for these cards to keep rising. We are seeing it now. What could change this is an SBC that would be either a big content release like I'm not expecting an icon pack. It's way too early for that sort of thing but more so what I'm expecting to impact prices at least the most possible scenario for that to happen would be another tradable pack supply SBC and we haven't seen one of those in a hot minute. Now, of course we get the marquee matchups SBC every single week on Thursdays but during Champions League related promos and especially during actual Champions League related weeks of real life games of Champions League we have gotten SBCs called UEFA marquee matchups and if you remember these SBCs from old EA used to drop these in old FIFAs like every single week there was Champions League, Europa League and conference league games being played and in previous FIFAs like last year in FIFA 23 they only dropped this SBC two times the entire year. One was though this exact week the first week of the road to the knockouts promo in FIFA 23 was one of the weeks where they dropped UEFA marquee matchups and why is this a big deal? Because this is basically like regular marquee matchups and what do we see every Thursday at least for the past two Thursdays when this SBC drops we see player prices drop because a lot of tradable packs and especially this early stage of the game when EA has given out prime mixed players packs small prime built players packs and then to complete the whole thing a rare electron players pack similar to the regular marquee matchups UEFA marquee matchups gives out good packs and it supplies the market with a lot of cards. That I feel like is the only situation that could happen today. Guys, I'm not saying that UEFA MM's are going to drop today because we just don't know, right? I mean, it could happen, it's likely, but we don't know. I just wanted to talk about it to prepare you for it because there's two sides of the coin here. If we get a UEFA marquee matchups today it's gonna drop some prices.  It's probably just gonna be one of those scenarios like we saw as we just looked at a couple of graphs for like the squad battle rewards on Sunday as Alex Morgan's price is another card that continues to rise. On Sunday, we had a 37,000 coin down to 34,000 coin drop during squad battle rewards for her card and she rebounded right back up, right? That's the type of drop I would expect to see on the market. It would be a slight drop and then rebound back up if we were to have some sort of UEFA marquee matchups SBC. It was not that big of a deal but just to kind of put that out there for you it could actually be a really good opportunity to trade or maybe to pick up some fodder if you're looking to invest in fodder. Anytime we get supply on the market it actually brings a really good trading opportunity but it does move prices. So I wanted to bring that up also because if they were to require players from certain, like in this SBC from last year they required players from Napoli or IACS or PSG or Benfica. It's like a marquee matchups where the players or the clubs that are featured in the SBC they require those, right? And usually what they did was they would take one game from a Tuesday matchup and one game from a Wednesday matchup and they will put that into the SBC. And I would imagine they would do probably the same thing if they're gonna drop that SBC this year. So that's enough to talk about that. Now more talk about road to the knockouts players though. Guys, today kind of begins the fun for the road to the knockouts because these card prices are going to move today because they've got games today guys. And if they have games that means their upgrades are on the line, right? Manchester United are playing Gal Tassari today. Bruno Fernandez of course United probably expected to win this match. Now you might be saying Nate, especially for this group A, right?  So does that mean that right now this limer card was finally on the market after being extinct EA updated his price range. I do believe this guy is very, very expensive but it's definitely priced into his card that Bayern are one of the favorite clubs to go far in the Champions League and especially get out of the group. It's almost like the plus two is already priced in to this card with him being almost 290,000 coins. But since Bayern already beat Manchester United the first time around in match day one, does that actually mean that he's on one win already and has already started to progress toward his one win upgrade? No, that is not the case. Once again on EA's website, all of the upgrades, the matches that will be won start after the September 29th date, right? So every match one after this date of when these cards came out in the game will count towards the win to upgrade. So right now everybody is on zero wins but of course if Union Berlin win today, right? Union Berlin, we've got Benucci. That's an early game. We got Man United and Gal Tesserai. We've got Mertens for Gal Tesserai and we've got Bruno for Man U. If whoever wins today out of those clubs and these competitions, these games, you might see a couple cards actually start to rise up in value. I actually went out and I made a little bit of a speculative play here. I picked up a couple of Benucci's because I'm kind of backing Union Berlin today. Nothing of course against Braga but I'm backing Union Berlin for a dub today. And I wanna see if Benucci's price will rise if they're winning during the game. A lot of times what you'll see guys with these cards is their prices will move when goals are scored. And we'll talk about this and especially live trade with them a lot on stream. But it's something to keep note of is that today Benucci could potentially go from 25,000 coins where he is right now. If they were to win today, he might be like 30, 35,000 coins. Like maybe not that big of a rise but at least 30K, you can see his price go up. Now the underdogs are where the price moves the most, right? Obviously Gal Tesserai planning against Man United at Old Stratford today, not a favorite to win, right? Well, they're still a strong team. If they were to pull off something crazy, this Mertens card would explode because this is a game that they're not expected to win. And what it would mean is one win for that upgrade getting towards that plus one in form upgrade but also putting them in a position in the group where if they continue to play well, he could end up getting another upgrade and maybe this Mertens goes to an 89 if they pull off some other incredible results. So that's where the hype of these rotative knockout cards can come into play today, guys. So for the fixtures that we have upcoming, Mertens, Benucci are definitely cards to keep an eye on. A card like Bruno, if Man United win today, they're favorites. He's probably not gonna go up much in price if at all after the game. He might even drop after the game. He's a really rare card and I think overpriced anyway. But that's the sort of thing you wanna be careful with trading with these is that you have to make sure you know who's the favorite and who's the underdog because there's a lot more price swing if an underdog ends up having a really good performance. And sometimes the favorites prices just drop after the game because people expect them to go up. But again, in reality, this card's very expensive and they're expected to win. So if they don't, or if they do, he still might drop off post game. So these cards will be fluctuating a lot regardless of what other content that we get today on this game. That's one thing I wanna point out a lot to you guys and we'll be talking about these rotative knockouts a ton in the coming days as we see their prices move. Now, if you're trying to trade with any of these like with Benucci today, one of the biggest rules with these cards is selling into the hype. If Benucci is 30,000 coins before the match today and I see him going up in price because they're expected to win, I'm gonna take the cash, right? Selling in the hype is such a crucial way of selling in these cards because that way if you sell before the game, you're not taking too many risks because if they win and it goes up a little bit more, okay, but if they lose and it goes down to 20K, then you're losing some coins that you didn't plan to lose and selling into the hype avoids all of that. That's my biggest tip for trading with live cards is sell under the hype. So watch out for those cards that have matchups today. There's a lot of games today. Lens is playing Arsenal, let's see, who else? Napoli, Real Madrid. So you've got actually, you've got a big matchup for Osemin, you know, that's a card that, that's a big game, right? Napoli, if they're able to pull off the upset an Osemin card could rise in price, definitely, but also you'd wanna sell really fast in the hype after that because this price would probably drop down later on. So it's just crazy, right? These guys are gonna move like crazy today, but it's gonna be so fun to watch at the exact same time. Now, apart from all that, what else could we have today on this game? The market maybe continues to rise unless we have that marquee matchups like we talked about. I think today might be a day where EA would drop another one of these squad foundations because EA have said in the pitch notes from earlier on this year, they're gonna be dropping a lot of these squad foundations. I mean, think about it, MLS and NWSL were leagues that we have not seen yet in foundations that they have actually told us that they are going to be dropping foundations, objectives and SBCs for, right? We've had the Turkish League, we've had Erdo Vizy, we have had the League of F, but MLS, NWSL, Saudi League maybe as well could all feature as a part of this in this first season, the welcome season to FC24. We could have some player SBC content and objectives with that today. And I think it's also possible for maybe another road of the knockouts player SBC. Still not sure, guys, if we're getting a team too of RTTK. It seems like we would because we're missing a lot of big clubs for live cards, but at the moment, we really just do not know. So that's kind of what I would expect today is maybe marquee matchups and then maybe a player SBC for either an RTTK or a foundations. Now, where are my coins at right now? I'm still lazy listing a few things here. Still have the Sam Kerr cards that I was hoping to sell. Her price hasn't really gone up that much. Honestly, for the prices that I saw yesterday, a lot of them spiked before content. I'm trying to look for Mousiala right now. I'll just search him up. Mousiala yesterday was like 70,000 coins in the early morning hours on Monday. We shouted him on the YouTube video because I did believe he was too cheap. He reached the peak before content of 78K. So we went up like 10,000 coins, went back down to 73, went back to 76. He's kind of 73 right now. It's like a lot of cards had big rises yesterday in the morning. And some of them have just kind of been stagnant since then, right? Messi went from 182 all the way to 200K. He's been 200K a couple of times. Right now he's 193, about the same price, just down a couple of K. I really wouldn't worry about card prices that much. Like if you bought Diabe on Saturday when he crashed a bunch to like 45K, whatever he was, 44K. If you bought him there, you're chilling, right? So I'm definitely not saying this is a time where you have to sell. Today's content will impact the market, I think a little bit, but in reality, we're headed towards one of the biggest weekends on the year, the first weekend league competition, which is so, so massive for team building and buying on this game. I think prices could continue to increase unless we see something crazy content-wise this week. So that's gonna be the video for today, guys. A bit of a short one, but today's gonna be a really interesting day with these Champions League games going on. So watch those cards specifically on the market and keep a close eye on SBCs today because of the tradable supply that maybe could be happening. We'll see. So that was the video for today, guys. If you did enjoy, smash a thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions and of course, subscribe if you knew it's been Nate the Foot Accountant. Catch you guys later. Peace. Out.


Good morning everybody.  This is the way we're starting this week. Rolling dirty, so dirty. Off we go. Better not have any problems at the border today. I got the confirmation yesterday that my load is cleared at Pemina. That's the reason I couldn't cross on Thursday. They were having issues with the customs broker for that clears the load to cross into the United States.  And if it's not done correctly, well, you can't cross the border with your freight. And our customs broker had a huge outage or something. I don't know. They conicker fluffle going on there and back up. It's one of the big ones, right? So it's not just us that uses them. It's a majority or a good chunk of the freight from everybody. So everybody was affected by this, right? Not just us. Ah, I think it's all cleared up now though. I mean, we'll see. It's Sunday afternoon. I wanted to leave the shop by 3 p.m. We got out of there at 3.45, which doesn't mean I'm late. I'm not late. It's just that I wanted to leave earlier, but I have to do that to myself so that I actually leave at a time that works. My wife knows this about me too. If you actually want to leave the house by five o'clock, let's say, tell me we got to leave by four and I'll be ready by five. Not every time, but, you know, it's just a safe bet, safe way to do it. So we're on schedule. We're gonna deliver this low tomorrow morning. And we'll see where we go from there. I want a full week this week. We don't have anything up until next Saturday. We have a Christmas gathering next Saturday. So I wanna keep myself busy from today on Sunday all the way to Friday. Some serious trucking. US 59, this is south, down to US 10. This is truck stop to Brainer and it's right on the way of this, on this road. So I don't have to go way out of my way to go find somewhere to park. Because I was gonna go park right at the customer, but that delivers to the same place has gotten in trouble before for parking at the customer. Even though I've never heard anything against it, but he says that he parked there once and, you know, they phoned into the company, and I said, hey, your drivers are supposed to park here. I'm gonna get myself in trouble. So I figure, well, you know, pillager's right on the way. Still be able to be there for my delivery first thing tomorrow morning. South is round for 57 kilometers. Actually it's dropped to minus one. So it's about 30 Fahrenheit outside right now. I hear that there's snow coming this week though. We're busy here either. Leaders, turn right on. Palomino Avenue, West and then turn right into 100 meters. I'm already here, Karen. I don't know where you think you're leading me, to a subway here. Nice big convenience store. So very short vlog today, guys, very short date. So we drove about seven hours, seven to eight hours. Made it down here. We're pretty much around the corner from where I have to deliver. I'm gonna go straight to bed and get up early, as early as I can, as soon as I'm able to get moving and get this freight off my trailer and get ready for whatever they have next.  It'll be Monday morning, so there's nothing planned on me yet. So they'll need a little bit of time in the morning, you know, boot up their computers and get everything going back in the office and then sort of sniffing around for freight. I don't find my own freight. I'm contracted. So they do all that for me. They take care of all the headaches. I don't have to deal with any of those headaches. It's fantastic. I don't even have to deal with the customs brokers across the border. It's mint. Time for bed. We'll see you tomorrow. Thanks for hanging out with me. Short vlog, not a lot of content. Tomorrow will be better. We're gonna unload and reload.  See you then.


Today I am reviewing Assassin's Creed Black Flag and the Rogue, also known as the Rebel Collection, for the Nintendo Switch. And thank you for the review code to Ubisoft. So Assassin's Creed Black Flag is my first Assassin's Creed game. Never touched the series before this. Never. So my expectations? I didn't have any. I had only seen gameplay and it looked fine. And you know, it was a pirate RPG game for the Switch. In the first hours of this game, I actually didn't like it. I didn't like it because mainly what I first noticed was that the character moves incredibly slow in his default walking speed. Now you can hold in a sprint button and then he sprints really fast. But the initial and first walking speed incredibly slow. I still think it's really slow and weird. So it's either really slow but you can walk or you run really fast. There is no middle thing. I wish there was a sort of more middle thing. But this is an older game. It is from 2013 actually. Some of the things that I didn't like in my first hours was that, and you will know what I mean. Some of the first missions are very restricted and linear. There is a follow mission and there is a infiltrate the forge mission. And to someone that is completely new to the series, I didn't really understand. So it took me personally some time and quite a bit of hours to get into this game. So after a few of those missions in the beginning of the game, which took me probably five hours, then the game opens up and you have control of your ship and you can sail anywhere. That is when you get the open world, open sea part of the game. That was when I started liking this game. Now that out of the way, this is an action adventure game by Ubisoft. It is out on PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, believe it or not, PC and now Switch. So it's out everywhere. It is a stealth game. It is a stealth game. Heavily focused on story, so a lot of cutscenes, a lot of stealth stuff, linear quests and missions that once you start a mission, you are in that mission and you, you know, linear.  That is the introduction for this game. So the story. It is set in the 18th century, Caribbean setting, which is fine. I like pirate the settings. I don't know how much you know about Assassin's Creed, but anyways, Abstergo is a current day company that has animuses, which means small simulation boxes that a human being can step into and relive memories of dead people through their DNA. So that is exactly what is happening. So you relive Edward Kenway's memories and he lived in the 18th century. And Edward is a guy that wants to be a privateer. So he says to his girlfriend that I will be gone one year. And after some struggles and stuff that is happening, Edward finds himself becoming a pirate. He kills a guy and takes his clothes because he sees profit in posing as him in a meeting at the city of Havana. And he gets himself caught up in many different things. Bear with me. This is my first Assassin's Creed game, so it was a lot to take in for me with the story.  So that is the setting and the start of the story. Gameplay. This is not a run and gun game. It's not built like that. It is not supposed to be like that. It is a stealth game, very heavily focused on stealth.  You climb everywhere in this game also. He's a master climbsman. All main characters in the Assassin's Creed series are master climbsmen. I don't understand why no one is pointing that out. But they are. He's incredible. They never get tired, sort of thing. So the gameplay is sometimes linear. You know, you have to play that starch section of the game and it is an open world. You can sail anywhere. That is the fun part of the gameplay.  Because every island and every location has points of interest on the map. And I like that. I love it because when I complete an area or see the map slowly being completed, it is just satisfying. Very satisfying. So you can also uncover the map and you do that by taking down some big forts. As you can see here. There is a bunch of sailing in this game and ship combat. You can upgrade your ship and you can upgrade or buy swords and daggers and guns. That is the equipment that you use in battle.  I mean, just look at this map. The controls I feel are bad. It feels not very tight. So controls are just not very controllable. There are Abstergo challenges. I actually liked these challenges.   It has fast traveling, which is really nice in a world this big. There are resource collecting, which is like lumber and cloth. Then you can find that out at sea. If you take down an enemy ship, you will get a lot of resources that way as well.  So there is actually a lot of things to do in this game and it is nice. They are wonderful. Handheld and in docked. Because this is an older game, so it is supposed to look like this. I think it is one of the better looking Switch games. So no complaints here. I like the graphics. They perform really well. Yeah, the graphics are good in this game. I stay by that. But you can see that it is dated. You get what I'm saying. Music. Music is very adventure-y and action-packed and pirate-y. That is the thing. But it is not very memorable. It is sort of like movie soundtracks in a way. And you don't necessarily go wrong by having music like that. So I actually also listened through the entire official soundtrack on YouTube. But nothing was really memorable. So the music is very forgettable. It is there. It is fine. Not very memorable. This game takes for me anyway. Took for me some time to get used to and it may be like that for you as well. It is really good once you get into it. Let me have that on the screen. It is really good once you get into it. It takes some time to get into it though. There is plenty of value in this game and things to do. I enjoy to uncover the map and I try to 100% every place that I get to for collectibles. That is something I enjoy doing. This game has opened my eyes for the series. This is my first Assassin's Creed game and it opened my eyes that much that I played Origins. And I'm done with that game and now I'm playing Odyssey. So this was for me my entryway into the series. A nice entryway. It was actually Switch Upses review that got me interested. Fun fact. I was addicted and I played it for days. This is a really nice game to have on the Switch. And I know I reviewed Black Flag now. A short little comment on Rogue. It is an equally big game. It is a game. It is not like a DLC or anything like that. It is a mainline game. But it takes place some time after Black Flag because you play as the son of Edward in Rogue. And in Rogue I like that game. Maybe more to early to say. I haven't completed Rogue yet. But the ship you sail with in Rogue is faster. So I feel like they improved on some things in Rogue. Also excellent game.  The Rebel Collection gets an 8 out of 10 for me because of the value. And it is good once you get into it. Now thank you so much for watching and I will see you later.
