|
|
Yeah, but actually there was a question asked and it was, are you going to take the vaccine?
|
|
Yes, I am.
|
|
If there aren't people who need it more than me, then I'll happily take it.
|
|
But I don't know if it will stop the spread.
|
|
It will just stop the symptoms.
|
|
In the UK, during your people first and care work is the same.
|
|
First or second, first yet.
|
|
In the Netherlands, they figured out that you can't really bring...
|
|
It's very hard to bring the vaccine to the old people and the old people to the vaccine.
|
|
So what if you bring the carers to the vaccine so that it will stop spreading to the old people?
|
|
Well, I have fun identifying the carers.
|
|
In my county, I have not even been tested, even though we have very high percentage of
|
|
positive people.
|
|
I would have to call the county health department and make an appointment for a test.
|
|
I think that's what I did when I got tested.
|
|
I didn't have corona, tested negative.
|
|
It was very quick.
|
|
I have to say, you just went in and it was aligned with partially people standing.
|
|
Partially people on bikes mostly cars.
|
|
It was mostly cars.
|
|
But the line did actually have other modes of transportation.
|
|
So just went in, you walked in or drove in or whatever and you waited for the person in front
|
|
of you to stop daily dallying and talking about how they did it before and they know so much.
|
|
And just then they stick a rod up your nose, then they take it out without you noticing
|
|
and you go on with your day, happy that you could breathe again because you can't with the mask on.
|
|
I can't breathe with the mask on.
|
|
It's about to use though, just be a COVID-21 on life.
|
|
Variance of COVID, there are so many variants of COVID.
|
|
Also, virus is mutated, that's the way it works.
|
|
Apparently back when Italy was hit, remember that was back when
|
|
then Italy was hit very bad and apparently I read in a magazine, a scientific magazine,
|
|
that it was hit three times at the same time.
|
|
So it could hit twice, three times.
|
|
That's something to think about.
|
|
Like, are there any people from Italy here?
|
|
Any people have been to Italy?
|
|
I've never been to Italy.
|
|
Anybody worried about more dangerous things?
|
|
Well, we still have the mints, I think,
|
|
those things you make coats of,
|
|
your creatures make this thing, oh yeah.
|
|
They made the cluster 5 virus, which was less susceptible and the person who I was talking
|
|
about earlier, that comedian who does new stuff, he said, I told you so.
|
|
Because he told us so, the week before, he said, if you don't stop now,
|
|
there's going to be a virus, which is less susceptible and,
|
|
though and behold, there was a virus, which was less susceptible.
|
|
All right, kind of off topic, people yelling Jumanji.
|
|
So I've always seen the original Jumanji movie and nothing in that movie had anything where
|
|
people you had to yell at Jumanji, at least not that I can remember.
|
|
So what's the significance of yelling Jumanji?
|
|
What's Jumanji?
|
|
It's a movie about a game.
|
|
Actually, there are three movies about a game.
|
|
Yes, there's the two-no-one.
|
|
There's the original movie, there's a remake of it,
|
|
and then there's a sequel to the remake.
|
|
Yes.
|
|
Yeah, yeah.
|
|
And Jumanji is a great film.
|
|
I've always seen the original.
|
|
Have you not seen Jumanji?
|
|
Seriously, Moss?
|
|
I have seen the original and the remake.
|
|
I did not consider it a great film.
|
|
I did not consider it anything other than a vehicle for the stars to make some money.
|
|
What's the result of the third movie?
|
|
What's the movie about?
|
|
Like, I haven't seen a lot of movies.
|
|
I've only just watched Star Wars, not even the Disney ones, so just watched.
|
|
And there is another movie about a game.
|
|
It was a space game, though, and that was equally stupid, but a little bit better.
|
|
I've seen that a while ago, it was cool, but yeah.
|
|
The house goes in space, that one, yeah?
|
|
Yeah, yeah.
|
|
Games are good, though.
|
|
Well, remember, I did not grow up with games.
|
|
I mean, if we had games, the original would be games.
|
|
It was the first of Jumanji's second or the third first, because that's a different story.
|
|
That will ruin that.
|
|
You need to watch the very first one from 1995, I believe, that looking up.
|
|
1995, that's almost...
|
|
Which thing did you learn from Jumanji that you used in your life?
|
|
I just, though, I've only heard about Jumanji right now.
|
|
I was just asking what the significance is.
|
|
Only today that I hear about the going outside and yelling Jumanji at the three years.
|
|
Yeah, I didn't get it either, and I see the same movie my wife has.
|
|
Because my wife had the same bad hate attention.
|
|
And I was just trying to tell you some of the parts.
|
|
You know, I had a birthday this year, because everyone has a birthday every year.
|
|
Or you're not alive anymore.
|
|
No, if you're dead, you still have a birthday.
|
|
If you're dead, you still have a birthday.
|
|
You're probably not celebrating it.
|
|
Yes, you set a break to death.
|
|
If you're celebrating anything.
|
|
Is your conscious uploaded to a computer?
|
|
I think it would do that now, yeah.
|
|
Yeah, but, but...
|
|
Did they say much more to show that we, it's more likely than not that we are living in a,
|
|
the point is, what would be the consequences or why would we care?
|
|
But, yeah, and it's just getting me paranoid, and I don't like being paranoid.
|
|
And it's also assuming stuff.
|
|
They're already working on Jumanji 3, by the way.
|
|
Same person as the one you're making.
|
|
Yes, Dwayne Johnson just completed it.
|
|
I've only heard about this movie in the last few seconds, and there's
|
|
their parody already.
|
|
While the original movie is 1995.
|
|
Okay, that's kind of, that's kind of...
|
|
Then there's Jumanji, welcome to Jungle 2017, which is a reboot.
|
|
Okay.
|
|
And then there's Jumanji the next level 2019, and now they're working on the third one.
|
|
So, what's the, what's the, not the gimmick, but what's the, the, the cause of the problem within
|
|
the film? Is it that you invoke something or you believe in a thing?
|
|
What?
|
|
No, you don't find the game in your throat in their world.
|
|
Oh, yeah, I might ask you to be about this before, but that was like something else complete.
|
|
That was like, yeah, I, I just ignored the tights.
|
|
I think what it is, is you have, you have to all come together after succeeding at the game
|
|
and yell Jumanji to be brought back into the real world.
|
|
Well, say, also, it's only people who, yeah, the whole game is,
|
|
these people are trying to scream their way out of this phony world.
|
|
But the real, Patrick, you know what,
|
|
the whole game is, yeah, board game, board game.
|
|
Yeah, we've got, we've got tons of them and a whole thing full, which yeah,
|
|
old games exactly the update in the other movies, something else, but I'm not going to say much more with that.
|
|
So basically a whole lot of people get transported into a board game,
|
|
seeing episodes of that kind of stuff before.
|
|
Yes, yes, I understand.
|
|
So if you shout Jumanji, then you hope what, COVID is finished.
|
|
Or you hope that you get teleported back into the real world.
|
|
So that basically assumes you don't believe that or that basically means you don't believe
|
|
you're in the real world, right?
|
|
Is that like taking the blue pill?
|
|
This family movie, the, um, they get sucked in.
|
|
They have to, I don't want to say too much with a grue in it.
|
|
But the, yeah, the whole problem with the matrix.
|
|
I mean, the whole problem with the matrix is the reality is so ugly.
|
|
Yeah, I would want to be in the fantasy of, if the reality was like matrix.
|
|
Yeah, the thing is, if you make your reality suck,
|
|
the original is very good.
|
|
If you make your reality suck, and you make it so it sucks for the person inside,
|
|
you can have a good laugh at their expense and it seems more real for the person inside.
|
|
And then because they would think, oh, wouldn't you make your reality all nice and stuff?
|
|
Well, you're just sitting there laughing at them because they are in the stupid thing
|
|
and they're stupid that they can't figure it out, that they're, that they're fake.
|
|
Okay, the other movie that was like humangy, but in space was called Zatura.
|
|
That's right.
|
|
Yeah, yeah, so the thing is that was like, so the house gets sucked into space and all that,
|
|
the thing's there.
|
|
So the sounds a bit like that room where there's a tornado and they end up in a weird place and then
|
|
they have to call the problem.
|
|
Yeah, the wizard of all.
|
|
Oh, yeah, but the original version was, I was, I started watching Wizards,
|
|
the other newer one, the other day, it was on TV and was like, oh, oh, I've watched this
|
|
not actually, but that was all right.
|
|
To know the only, the only thing I had for AdWords when I was smaller and I was reading this book
|
|
series, Geronimo Stilton thing. I read the entire library, but eventually I came across a book
|
|
about the Wizards of Oz, so I read it. And that's the only thing how I know about the Wizards
|
|
of Oz or the Wizards. There were multiple witches of Wizards.
|
|
Hey, everyone, this is Claudio and just jumped on to wish you all a very happy new year from
|
|
UTC minus five. Thank you. Thank you.
|
|
The new year too. Yeah, well, in the original Oz, the wizard was actually a fraud.
|
|
Yeah, it was, it was a fraud in the book, which I read.
|
|
Yeah, it was actually a movie made black and white with no sound.
|
|
That was a lot closer to the original book, but it was also a lot stupider than the movie
|
|
that got popular. Yeah, it was a very good man. It was just a very bad wizard.
|
|
Yes, indeed. In the book I read, he was, he had good intentions that he sucked at everything
|
|
he did. So he had to do weird stuff like having people to wear glasses all the time
|
|
or something else or other, but, but basic, the Wizard of Oz is already weird. So if you make
|
|
it less, like, why would you follow most cobblestone or yellow stone or something?
|
|
Yellow brick road, yes. Yellow brick road. I just remember follow the cobblestone road,
|
|
but that's the Minecraft version. I always had my adult version of that.
|
|
Swallow the old dick load.
|
|
Now you'll be singing that in your mind all night, right?
|
|
I wasn't, but now that you said that, yeah, I will.
|
|
I'm lucky that the night isn't going to be very long. It's nearly over in your dreams.
|
|
It's nearly seven already, and the sun hasn't even shown up yet.
|
|
Well, tell it to get to work, dammit. Yeah, yeah, I'm waiting. I don't have his number,
|
|
so I can't phone him. He doesn't have his Facebook. He doesn't reply to you.
|
|
Is Facebook even the thing now? I don't know. I'm not disconnected from him.
|
|
I am disconnected. My wife is still on it. I made sure that she got the
|
|
Firefox that pretty much relates to what my brain isn't working. I'm sorry.
|
|
I think I think I basically, I wrote a lecture to that one teacher who tried to force us to
|
|
assume that one time, basically explaining how evil that Facebook was, and also that one website
|
|
she tried to force us to use. I think that's when it kind of died, because I was figuring out
|
|
that people were using Facebook, so then it died. When I figure stuff out about social media,
|
|
then it usually dies. No, Facebook is quite popular, so I use it as many other people.
|
|
Well, I heard it died. Must be wrong. I heard it's just used by boomers.
|
|
That's what it is. It's still the number one website on the internet, dammit.
|
|
It's used by boomers. I guess it depends who you care about.
|
|
What you're trying to do and who you're trying to talk to. I literally have family members who
|
|
would not talk to me except on Facebook, and I finally decide that it wasn't worth it.
|
|
If they weren't going to talk to me before Facebook, I don't need to talk to them on Facebook.
|
|
Indeed, indeed. I usually, I'm terribly bad at checking an email or what's that for stuff.
|
|
I usually like to orphone them if it's not possible, or just talk about them into their face,
|
|
because it's easier that way. Well, I forget to check my email and what's up, so I won't
|
|
I once on purpose didn't check my what's up for a few months. I had about a thousand or so messages.
|
|
They use what's up all day. There's a group. I should kind of use it for that. There's that there.
|
|
On top of it's not great. It's only because other people use it that I use it because you need it
|
|
to have it in school. I use telegram. No one uses telegram. I use telegram. I use
|
|
master on. I use discord. Well, that's about it. I use me for my social. I use email. I use
|
|
what's up. If you work in those people who use telegrams, probably no one. I use telegram,
|
|
telegram signal, you know, gypsy, but it wouldn't you? That's true. Yeah, I have to use zoom
|
|
because that's all the places I can do concerts are on zoom. And I've got one on the ninth that I
|
|
need to do. Need to get ready for it too. I don't practice enough. Yeah, I have to use the other
|
|
if I want to be what kind of concerts do you do? I am a silker. I think we discussed that early on.
|
|
The silker is the music of the fantasy and science fiction community.
|
|
Oh, I'm sorry about singing science fiction. I like the idea.
|
|
Well, actually, Phil has a very large page at Wikipedia.
|
|
We have a number of sites around. I know how to use Wikipedia. In many cases,
|
|
the songs are fully original, but in other cases, we see all the American folk tradition,
|
|
where if a tune sits around long enough, you steal it. So some of them are parodies. Some of them
|
|
are only parodies in the fact that we stole the tune. Could you name the place again?
|
|
But the, can you reference or add it to the show notes or just tell me so I can look it up now?
|
|
Oh, Wikipedia has a good page on Phil. Let me see here.
|
|
How am I spelling Phil? F-I-L-K. It was originally a typo. Since the I is right next to the O on
|
|
the standard music keyboard. Phil, music is a musical genre culture, genre, and community.
|
|
It's a science fiction fantasy and horror fandom. And it's a type of fan labor.
|
|
The genre has been active since the early 1950s, and that played primarily since the mid-1970s.
|
|
Actually, the late 1940s, but they don't have to know everything.
|
|
It's Wikipedia, you know? Yeah. Um, Wikipedia is now allowed in schools.
|
|
That needs discussion. Yeah. No, it's like the teacher said,
|
|
hey, it's fine. This isn't that importance. It is so you can use Wikipedia. I don't care.
|
|
I just want to get it over with. I hate you kids. He didn't say I hate you kids,
|
|
but he probably meant it. I can only play some if you want.
|
|
If you want to play some, you can play some. Let's see.
|
|
Um, there's also a sub-genre called wizard rock that has to do mostly with Harry Potter stuff.
|
|
Rock. On singing, I did hear that with dementia patients. Because the singing part of your brain is
|
|
different, uh, place to the talking part, that you can, you, you remember songs for a lot longer.
|
|
So if you make a song, that's true. That's true. To talk, to sing you through the things that you
|
|
need to remember in your day, then you can start singing that in the morning and get stuff done,
|
|
you know? To education. That's true. I heard that too. Uh, and also like if you can learn to play
|
|
the guitar, if you can't remember, uh, a few seconds ago, you can still learn how to play the
|
|
guitar. Well, it's only been, it's only been a few months since I lost my piece, so I will sound
|
|
a little funny, but nonetheless, uh, well, this one is actually more of a social song, but it is
|
|
Phil, the guy who wrote it is in the Philcala fame, which is housed in Toronto, Ontario.
|
|
Philcala fame? Yes. There are actually two award-giving groups. The Ohio Valley Philc
|
|
Festival gives the Pegasus Awards for the music, and then the, uh, Philc, Ontario gives the Philcala
|
|
Famous Awards for the, uh, performers or writers. But is it like an actual place?
|
|
I do not know. I haven't been to Toronto. This is not my best guitar, it's hard to keep in tune.
|
|
About 60 years ago, on a classic TV show, that started on a cool October night.
|
|
There was me and Ralph I guess, Ed and Trixie and the rest, the biggersons all boxed in black and white.
|
|
Now I am up here on the moon, like some straining down the cartoon, and some say domestic violence is
|
|
to blame. But I just ignore the threats, breathe in deep, try to forget that it was only television,
|
|
and the Alice is my name. Save me, save me, I have lost my identity, I am more than the song
|
|
is silly cartoon. Help me get back on the path, that was meant for me, I am Alice, the first woman
|
|
on the moon. I need to explain this song, there was a cartoon, um, back in the 50s, and there was a
|
|
TV show called The Honeymooners, and it was a very tumultuous relationship being shown,
|
|
and Ralph Cramden played by Jackie Gleason, would always yell at his wife, one of these days, Alice,
|
|
one of these days, I'm going to hit you so hard to the moon, Alice, to the moon. And then Nick
|
|
Downs a few years ago had a cartoon in the Washington Post that had some astronauts on the moon
|
|
finding skeleton and rest, and the one turns the other says, of course, that's Alice Cramden.
|
|
I don't know about the cartoon, that's fantastic. And this is the song about that. Anyhow,
|
|
how I got here, I don't know how could such a thing be so, but do you ask how good Bart Simpson
|
|
still be ten? I hang on to what I see, helped to build this colony, turning the kisses,
|
|
negatives to positives again, not used to my tongue not having teeth sorry, but sometimes I feel
|
|
alone, so I call Ralph on the phone, and the prison says he's out now on parole.
|
|
He is on the no-fly list, I tell him that he won't be missed, because I no longer need him,
|
|
or anyone to make me whole. Save me, save me, I lost my high debt, T. I am more than the
|
|
suns on the silly cartoon. Help me get back on the path, that was meant for me, I am Alice,
|
|
the first woman on the moon. So I go out to the space bar in my jumpsuit late at night,
|
|
said the nice pin your galata, crying hard not to get tight, when a face that seems familiar smiles
|
|
across the room with me, could that be the person I've seen on TV? Then she sits down with a grin,
|
|
I say Alice, how have you been? How is Tommy, how are Viramel and flow?
|
|
As we both sit on our drinks, I really don't know what to think, she says you're not the only Alice
|
|
here you know. She says you got to understand, there's the one from Wonderland, and the one from
|
|
Arlo Guthrie's restaurant. No one's really who they seem, we're all characters in dreams,
|
|
and I close my eyes and ask her, can I be an astronaut? Save me, save me, I lost my high debt,
|
|
I am more than some silly cartoon. Help me get back on the path, that was meant for me,
|
|
I am Alice, the first woman on the moon.
|
|
Still be Alice, your star, so that's exactly what you are, and that's how you got to be up here
|
|
with me. Then she hums a girl's wind tune, and says up here on the moon that really isn't
|
|
anything that you can't be. Shall I tell you Mrs. Meadows, something everybody here knows that
|
|
black eye you have was not caused by a fall, and I almost want to tell her that I know I'm in
|
|
a shelter and I'm painfully aware that I'm not on the moon at all. Save me, save me, I have lost
|
|
my high debt, I feel like I've been here before. Help me get back on the path, that was meant for me,
|
|
prepare me to walk out of that door. And Alice doesn't live here anymore.
|
|
Beautiful, that was amazing.
|
|
That was really cool. That was by my old friend, Brian Lemmings, the original tune is from a song called
|
|
The Girl that's Never Been by Michelle Dockery, which was about Alice in Wonderland.
|
|
If you act, that's quite a construction, I like the ideas, and it is,
|
|
is it some pineapple in Pina Collada? Yes.
|
|
Does not potentiate the projection of the star into the vehicle, which is a UFO.
|
|
Right, it's good. Well, thank you, my friend, Brian Lemmings, you're on, wrote that, and he is now in
|
|
the short call of fame. Well, probably my oldest friend in the world, I met him in 81.
|
|
So he's, that if you can say like, oh, well, if my friends is in the whole fame of,
|
|
you're out, that's, actually, I have a little bit of a little bit of skin in the game,
|
|
yeah. Actually, nominating, that's cool. Thank you, Jayrilo.
|
|
I was thinking of people, you know, there's a shelter, we're not a shelter, where there's a place,
|
|
I was thinking of my friend who came from Kazakhstan, she came from all over. She had a lot of
|
|
clothes to get rid of before she fled the country, and she wanted to take them to this, a place,
|
|
a house in my town where women came in the middle of the night, you know, after that fled,
|
|
domestic violence to pick up clothes, because of course they left, they just left.
|
|
So anyhow, we think about anything including important stuff.
|
|
Wow, I am not very well known, the big name Pilkers know who I am, but I'm not that well known
|
|
in the filmmaking community of large. Okay. That was cool. Wow, I like those. Yeah.
|
|
Yeah. Did you write that good? No, that was written by my old friend, Blind Link Shafan.
|
|
Well, and he lives in Denver, by the way. Denver. We weren't in Colorado. I've heard about
|
|
Denver somewhere. It is the capital of Colorado. There's a mental health thread within the
|
|
Hacker Public Radio. Wasn't there? Is that one of the subdivisions? I found it quite interesting.

See, I don't know HPR that much, except that I am a co-host of Mintcast,
|
|
and District Hopper's Digest, and we started out using HPR's rooms by invitation.
|
|
We've got our own little thing down here, Mintcast. If you scroll down the screen on these steps,
|
|
we started using our own mumble, but that's okay. We were very grateful at the Hacker Public Radio
|
|
for letting us use their mumble room for so many years. I mean, the Mintcast started in
|
|
Golly. I lost my brain again. We've done 351 episodes now. They tend to happen every other week,
|
|
but that's not set in stone. Actually, what we've been doing lately is having really long
|
|
episodes and splitting them into two episodes and releasing happy each week.
|
|
That's the way to do stuff.
|
|
Is that up to seven people? We don't always all show up.
|
|
It makes for a long show with seven people talking. That makes sense. You should actually just
|
|
just split in half. I honestly, honestly, until recently, I have not actually been doing anything
|
|
with Hacker Public Radio. My father did it, and so every new year we went and said,
|
|
hi, that was about it. Then I wanted to get into D&D, and I was listening to
|
|
tattoos, a tabletop gaming, which was actually like really, which really prompted me to learn more
|
|
about D&D and read Wikipedia and that kind of stuff about D&D. Then I really got into D&D when
|
|
I got the rule books and stuff. Have you seen those things? They are amazing.
|
|
Which were also recommended by Klausu.
|
|
Then, of course, it was Halloween, and I was wondering what kind of on-dead I wanted my character
|
|
in the D&D thing to become if I were so to have the chance on the kind of, I planned ahead
|
|
very far. Did you do the episode about rights? What do you call them? Liches and vampires?
|
|
Liches and vampires. I did that on Halloween. But that was your episode, was it?
|
|
That was mine. I made that myself. My dad did all the stuff which I didn't understand, but I did
|
|
do the research, which wasn't very hard because I was interested in it already. I basically
|
|
planned it aloud, which wasn't very hard. I basically just sat there talking about stuff I like
|
|
to talk about. My friend Tony Hughes is also a regular HPR host. He's also on the Mintcast team and
|
|
was who I founded DisroHopper Digest with. If you like D&D manuals,
|
|
wait to get hold of those semiconductor data sheets. What do you mean?
|
|
It's me really. I used to love those D&D books and the magazines for gaming, like white
|
|
dwarf and things that you can. Those sort of data structures, which you call it a digestive
|
|
human being or a character in which characteristics they have. But data sheets to semiconductors,
|
|
like if you're into tech, how a transistor works or a microcontroller works, all of the
|
|
information on these data sheets. We have that in stuff in school now. Not very, very
|
|
very neat or something, but this is the short summary of how this works. This short summary
|
|
of how that works. We have that at a physics, I think. So what do you think draws your attention to
|
|
the D&D gaming? Is it the way that the data set out? Do you think your mind recognizes
|
|
something or is it the what is it? That's a very good question. What is it which I like about
|
|
D&D? Well, that's that stuff. There's so much to like. What's not like? Well, it's definitely unique.
|
|
I've always been looking for the game. And I thought I'd found it when I found Minecraft. I
|
|
didn't. I just found some aspects of the game. And then I found D&D and then I found the missing
|
|
aspects of the game. And then I was like, those are the two greatest games that have ever existed.
|
|
So, yeah. Does it get closer to reality or is it a certain thing that happens in your mind
|
|
when you're in that space? Well, when you're playing D&D, it's very much, I have myself, I've
|
|
trouble, trouble sometimes communicating who I am because you play as the character, but you're
|
|
not the character yourself. So, yeah, sometimes have to say who you are to basically explain
|
|
and stuff. Yeah, there was one game I was in a long time ago that I was playing a half-elf
|
|
when there was another guy that was a dwarfs and I was playing the role. I was at the other guy's
|
|
throat all the time for being a dirty little dwarf, you know, this and that. And the guy kept complaining
|
|
the DM that I hated him. And he goes, no, he doesn't hate you. He's playing his role. He's doing
|
|
what he's supposed to be doing. Indeed. That's funny. Like, when I first played it and that was
|
|
3.5, I didn't understand the version so I was confused on my birthday. And I did it with some of
|
|
my best friends which I thought would like D&D. And one of the guys didn't tell us about
|
|
incoming dangerous creatures. So, there wasn't any problem. But I had this kind of, we didn't have
|
|
a line, we didn't do the alignments yet or it wasn't very clear. But because alignments are tough.
|
|
But I basically was, you could call it neutral or chaotic evil like the light, like neutral evil
|
|
light kind of thing. I was a bit evilish. So, I was like, why didn't you tell us? And I was
|
|
being in character. He's one of my best friends. So, I wasn't attacking him. I was just like,
|
|
why didn't you tell us that kind of stuff? And then later when I had information, I was like,
|
|
and I told it to, and I decided to tell it to the entire group, unlike some people. So, that was
|
|
funny. Yeah. Yeah. A good DM can make the difference in whether you like it or not too. Yeah.
|
|
We had one game that I really loved that we were standard AD&D 3.5 on a planet. We were just regular
|
|
old gunshots and wizards and whatnot. But it happened to be that we found out later, it turned
|
|
out to be the planet that the Enterprise D crashed on. And it was being invaded by the Dominion at the
|
|
time. Wow. It got really interesting. Yeah. Yeah. It's fun. Some wizards found the Enterprise D
|
|
and used magic to power up parts of the ship. And like we actually got to do some training on a
|
|
little deck. Oh, that's fun. That's that's fun right there. But oh, it's funny thinking of
|
|
when I try and wire up some things and trying to figure out how thick the wire has to be so that
|
|
my battery doesn't catch fire, you know. It takes so much longer in the real world. Yeah. I must admit
|
|
that first, the first session, I think we did that, that DM that he basically went around the whole
|
|
area. And he anytime someone wants it to start, start people to get people in, wants to get into
|
|
Dungeons and Dragons, they would basically go to that guy, hire that guy. And then he would
|
|
do their first adventure. And yeah. I would like to interrupt. And it is coming up on another
|
|
hour change. So if we have anyone in Winnipeg, Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Louis, New Orleans,
|
|
Memphis, anything like that, you're you're coming up on the new year. Are you ready? Is anyone here?
|
|
I just I just I figured it's something else. I guess we don't have any central kinds on people.
|
|
Well, Joe's in the time zone, but I'm thinking he's here at the moment. Oh, yeah. Joe is. It's true.
|
|
Poor guy is stranded in Texas. But then so is Leo. He's also on the mid-calf team.
|
|
You know, I figured out where I remember all these American sissy names from. I
|
|
I have read that Percy Jackson thing. It's it's about like, yeah. Yep. There's one thing that
|
|
doesn't make sense, which annoys me quite a bit. He says that demigods have been fighting in
|
|
the American Civil War. But it was pretty known at the time that the Americans weren't doing a
|
|
great job at fighting a war at that point. They hadn't learned the gist of it. Like later on,
|
|
they were great. They they they have one of the best minutes every now. But back then they
|
|
if you compare it to some. I love that it was not very very accurate. You know, you had to use
|
|
black powder. You had to stuff it in properly. Just camp the ball down. If you didn't get it,
|
|
it was totally off. Yeah. And and uh, and like I heard I don't know if this is true. I think
|
|
the sources are correct. But um, basically the the um, the guys from like the guys we were trying
|
|
to unite Germany. Um, or we had done that. I don't know. But those guys they basically had a look
|
|
at how good they were fighting in the Civil War and they were unimpressed. So I think you mean
|
|
the Prussians? Yes. The Prussians. The Prussians were having a look at how good they were at
|
|
fighting and if they they were unimpressed. So if the and the Prussians were some of the best.
|
|
So they knew good from not good. Um, so I think that it the only explanation I can give to that
|
|
in in in as can would be if it was like an offshoot. Like it would be I would say the English
|
|
shoe or maybe uh, had like Roman demigods because English had England had a giant empire back then.
|
|
Like any I emailed nowhere. It was from England. You could bet that it was from England.
|
|
Well, they had a lousy supply chain or we wouldn't have won the Revolutionary War.
|
|
That's true. Like every time you you would think you would get used to being you
|
|
you having the same strategy. Also they had terror. I must say they had one general who just
|
|
they could have won but they didn't. There's a lot of times in a lot of wars where they could have won
|
|
but some general is just not doing his job correctly. Well, actually England was always into the
|
|
do it honorably or don't do it at all thing. Yeah. Uh, yeah. But they honor frequently.
|
|
honor frequently. He's in the way of winning about.
|
|
And after your your average foot soldier, none of that is terribly relevant. You know what
|
|
the order comes doesn't it? And you just sent over there right there to go and hack each other
|
|
to pieces. Yeah. And um, but uh, there is um, there is also um, there was something
|
|
oh yeah, they had a plan which could have actually just derailed the entire war and
|
|
made the English actually win because it wouldn't, uh, it would bring a defeat for the, um,
|
|
the 13 colonies which would stop, uh, Spain and France helping out the 13 colonies would, uh,
|
|
which would lead to the defeats of the 13 colonies which was basically splitting the 13 colonies
|
|
in the middle and, uh, but, uh, but it needed two generals to do it with two armies but one of
|
|
the generals saw personal fame instead of actually winning the war. So he went off and did something
|
|
else which failed. And then he promptly got fired. As much as in a situation, in the situation
|
|
you're describing as much as I would like to just flee, flee the insanity, uh, it's often much
|
|
more difficult to get out of, how do you get out of that, you know, when you, you go in the food
|
|
but who's gonna, it's always every day, who are you, where have you come from, what are you doing?
|
|
Um, um, we're talking about like if you were there back then, or now it's the same now isn't it?
|
|
If I, if I take off in the middle of the night because I'm being, uh, but I'm not being beaten by my partner
|
|
or I live by myself, you know, but in terms of talking, talking about, uh, nations as though they're,
|
|
uh, I think, as though they're one person, you know, the, the history that gets written down is unrealistic.
|
|
It is. So I wonder, it, it does make for funny stuff it does. If you look as nations as being like
|
|
kind of a hive mind because nations do have a kind of, they have a, they're basically, uh, they have
|
|
a personality. It's basically the personality of the collective of the entire, of all the people
|
|
live in the nation. That's the personality of the nation. I think if you're in, in your village,
|
|
and, uh, you know, I'm not Irish, but, uh, listening to blind boy talking about Ireland and, uh,
|
|
you know, the, the I already, and, and, and so on. And then the British government and the,
|
|
the fact that that's just criminals have been thrown into the army and sent to Ireland to, to,
|
|
to make sure that it, uh, you know, the food keeps coming out of there. It's not, when you say it's
|
|
a nation doing a thing or they're, they're being honorable or whatever it. It's just not the,
|
|
the truth on the ground is it. The, the, the power and the point ground is that is who's going to come
|
|
to you and start roughing you up if you don't do what you were doing yesterday. Yeah. And
|
|
I'm doing the same thing because I feel okay. If it, if, if my reality or if I have to do something
|
|
which makes me uncomfortable in the, in the day, what power do I have over you? Um, you know,
|
|
whether I believe happy to hear a central time zone. Happy to hear. Is the sum up? No. The sum's not up.
|
|
All right. Well, I am going to go now. I think I should have been a little bit more time with my wife
|
|
as we've all were noted. Yeah. I have one. Well, good night. Good song for listening. I, I, I, I get
|
|
play for hours. I really could. I'm, I'm really bad at that. So a good song and moss.
|
|
Have a good night. Good meeting you. Uh, I hope this talked to you again sometime. Yeah. Yeah.
|
|
Hopefully it could come next year. Well, maybe and maybe not. Uh, come spend some time with us at, uh,
|
|
mid-cast. We have live podcasts every other Sunday at, uh, 2 p.m. Central time, whatever time that is
|
|
where you are. I do know what that means. What's that? I do need podcast material. So, you know, I have,
|
|
I'm able to listen at work. So I'll check it out. Okay. Well, I do live on on YouTube. Although we
|
|
do not have video, um, I don't know. Right. Yes. It's probably super late for me. The only reason
|
|
I'm here right now is because I decided to stay up the entire night. Hmm. Well, if your son would
|
|
manage the bother to come up, you, you've done it. Uh, no, I would, I will be done when I go to
|
|
sleep, which is in the evening. That's when I'm done. Okay. Yeah. I've done this before. I, I, I, I know
|
|
the tricks. I know when it's really over. Yeah. I used to be young too. I feel, I, I, in the inside,
|
|
I really feel old. I feel really, really old. Well, that's backwards for me because I still feel like
|
|
I'm in my mid thirties, maybe late thirties, but my body keeps telling me otherwise. Yeah. I like
|
|
compared to, um, to all the people I know, all the kids, I feel really old. I'm not in touch with
|
|
technology. I'm the most serious of all of them. Well, maybe one of the most serious of all of them
|
|
is really, really weird. Okay, guys, I'm going to take off for now. Okay. Bye. It's been fun. Bye. Yeah. Bye.
|
|
Bye. What were we talking about again? I was ranting on about something. Oh, yeah, something
|
|
with Ardened. Yeah, Nations was not what we were talking about. We don't need to talk about nations.
|
|
There are many more interesting things. Well, it's in Nations interesting, but it's kind of a
|
|
yeah, illusion, isn't it? I don't think I'd be happy if I was considering national day. Like
|
|
back during during the famine, you weren't thinking, hey, it's, um, you were probably just thinking,
|
|
oh, I really don't want to starve to death again. And I really don't want to die of, uh,
|
|
all these sicknesses again because of the dying Anglo-Saxons again. Mary did.
|
|
What's that KDG? So the topic again is going to be history with some sort. We could talk famine now.
|
|
Yeah, um, food shortage is soon, maybe in 10 years, if crops start to fail, you know,
|
|
if the energy in the storms continues to rise and the the bread basket dries out.
|
|
If um, US is apparently like, uh, the biggest food contrived food exporter and second
|
|
biggest is the Netherlands. And then you compare it to and then you're really surprised that the
|
|
second biggest is the Netherlands. If you like, but you can see it, if you go in one of the trains,
|
|
you go and then you have these rows and rows and rows of just greenhouses for as far as I can see,
|
|
which is not very far because you're basically on sea level already. But as far as I can see,
|
|
you have greenhouses just everywhere. Right. Let's hope it catches on because there's
|
|
plenty of space for greenhouses around the world. Yeah. They turn not to plant things.
|
|
Yeah. Also, we've got a lot of windmills and I was in Ireland. Like, I don't get why the people in
|
|
Ireland don't want windmills. I saw a beautiful scenery and I was like, this would be perfect.
|
|
If there were some windmills, it would have looked like a giant had plant, which really fits
|
|
well with Ireland, doesn't it? Do you mean, I guess you mean turbines for electricity?
|
|
Yeah. Yeah. And mills used to be for like, for corn and stuff to eat.
|
|
They're basically, they're, they're like, I've been, I've been in one of those windmills there.
|
|
I don't have corona. I've been tested. But I've been in one of those windmills where they basically
|
|
pump out the water to make sure that we don't flood. That's good. Yeah. I mean, it's still wind power,
|
|
right? You don't need it. It's still wind power. I mean, it takes a lot of manpower to just move
|
|
dining thing because you, it's basically a house with a roof on top which can rotate and
|
|
there's stuff inside. It's like a cramped house because all the rest of the house is wooden gears.
|
|
And you basically have to move the roof. You have to turn a wheel or something and you have to
|
|
make sure you don't get hit by the, by the going round thing because then you would be dead.
|
|
Is that a historical, is that sort of a museum piece or does it still keep the water out?
|
|
It's definitely a museum piece because now we've got a mechanic. We've got like,
|
|
well, we did have steam stuff. Now we have electric stuff. No, we have like an off-slide
|
|
deck which is a giant dieg. And it isn't our most advanced one. No, that's in the sealant,
|
|
sealant. It's like new sealant but then without the new, it's the old one. It has a giant thing which
|
|
basically cuts off the sea but it can open, it's open usually except when the storm hits.
|
|
Do you get electricity from that? Are they using wife power? No, I don't think so. It's because,
|
|
well, when they made an off-slide dieg, it's literally named Slouds means close.
|
|
It's basically, it's Slouds basically means closing something in a different way than
|
|
and so it shot off the salt supply. So the sea turned into a lake. Now we have a lake instead of
|
|
a sea. And yeah, that wasn't very great. There is a, well, I go to school. It used to be like
|
|
super massive. Oh, look at us. We're a fishing village. We love fishing and we have this whole
|
|
trade network and it's stuff but that doesn't happen anymore because two reasons. We haven't
|
|
now another province in the way and we have a giant big piece of dirt in the way. So they decided
|
|
they didn't want that in the sealant yet. They didn't want to flood like they did the last time
|
|
which killed a whole bunch of people and people didn't like it because you could see it on the
|
|
telly. There's problems with the saltwater coming into the agricultural land, isn't there in
|
|
some places? I don't know if that's the case in the Netherlands. I don't know. I don't think so.
|
|
Basically, over there they just wanted to fish. They still wanted fish and they still
|
|
and it's very good for the ecosystems because yeah, but I don't think that problem with the
|
|
water is as much because we're basically the outlet of all the rivers of the entirety of Europe
|
|
from France, of Germany, of those countries basically and all this stuff, but they surround us.
|
|
Do you have plenty of fresh water? We go to places in the world where they've drawn out the water,
|
|
the free pardon me. They've drawn out the fresh water so much from the ground. You know,
|
|
they pump it all out that then the water comes in from the sea and ruins it or even irrigate it.
|
|
That's not true. That's not the Netherlands. Not for Netherlands. For all the places maybe, but it's not
|
|
here. I think we even have tap water which comes from the ground where we're like right there. Of
|
|
course it's filtered and it's nice and fresh and stuff but it's from the ground right here.
|
|
I'm sorry, I don't think that's a problem. We're actually facing a problem where the
|
|
rivers might be the ones overflowing because we haven't given them enough space. They need the
|
|
space so we kind of have to choose what do we like more, the town or those farms and they usually
|
|
the farms get flooded if it's too serious because there was basically a die right next to the winter
|
|
for the river for in the summer and then in the winter the river is bigger so you have another
|
|
die further away which was also bigger and stronger. But there are quite a lot of people in
|
|
the Netherlands. It's a small country. It's not very small but it's kind of smallish and it's
|
|
there are 70 million or something. I seven million I don't know, numbers. There are big numbers
|
|
of people in the Netherlands and they all need somewhere to live. So they decided to let's put
|
|
a town in the place that floods every year and they decided just to make those summer things
|
|
bigger. Yeah, no, that had backlash. So now we have to choose what that's a problem right now.
|
|
Yeah, there are many people needing somewhere to live around the place.
|
|
Yeah, that's why we made that entire other piece of land for people to live.
|
|
It wasn't for farms, it was for people to live because we had too many people in Amsterdam
|
|
so we decided to move them. But back to Zealand basically they had a flood. That a big flood
|
|
it's very known. It wasn't tally so people could see it all around the country. This was
|
|
back in before colored television. So yeah, and basically they didn't want it but they did want to
|
|
have the sea there because it's Zealand. It's basically called Zealand. It's the land of the sea.
|
|
The whole thing is that they flood. So they are basically massive gates and they can close whenever
|
|
you want them and they can open again. So yeah, the Netherlands has a lot of stuff like I once went
|
|
to a place. Sorry if this is too much rambling about the Netherlands and its relationship with
|
|
water but it's very interesting. Always each time I heard Netherlands not think about
|
|
the underworld kind of thing. It's because it's literally another
|
|
it's literally like never means like low. Yeah, it's confusing because also
|
|
there's this thing I watch and they basically have it's a minecraft surface. So they've taken
|
|
like the Netherlands into the overworld and they called it the Netherlands and I was so annoyed.
|
|
I was like don't call it that. Call it something else because the Netherlands is already taken.
|
|
Oh, so it's it's minecraft Netherlands is the same written the same way as your company.
|
|
Yes, that's that it's if you translate it to English that is. Yeah, it means nearby or something.
|
|
Yeah, it's it it means low. Our country literally means the low countries because we're low.
|
|
We're so you take men as the finial country like minecraft.
|
|
No, we don't we don't it would be cool if we did but we don't now. You got your big
|
|
pegs you were so proud of. What? You have your pegs you were so big pegs you talked about
|
|
the biggest animal in your country and you talked about the big pegs. I don't remember anything
|
|
about big pegs. No, but you talked about some animals kind of tiny animals in your country
|
|
and you talked about one picky kind of similar animal. I don't I don't remember. Yeah,
|
|
but the Netherlands have a hard the big struggle. Yeah, pretty badly abused on either world
|
|
over. Yeah, yeah, but we're at least one into the world and it's and it's literally the same thing
|
|
as one of those wild ones we have on the failure. It's it's a forest place where people go hiking.
|
|
Yeah, you was calling the pig something else. I'm sure. Oh, it's swines or something. I called it
|
|
something something on it. Yeah, that you was talking about it was with most English and
|
|
a board. Yeah, I said a board. Yeah. It's the same. It's like it's a wild boar is a it is basically a
|
|
wild wild pig. Yeah, because my aunt has a small but you call it again. Boar. Boar. Yeah. Boar
|
|
mini boar. It's kind of uh it's like a like a little like a little pig pet thing. Yeah,
|
|
yeah, yeah, if smaller than a cat. Yeah, there are some of those you can apparently bite them. They
|
|
are pets. They are there. They they from what I heard and this was a nature thing for kids from
|
|
years ago was that it at some people try they sell piglets as those kind of little pig things
|
|
but piglets don't stay small. So then you have a giant massive pig in the house completely
|
|
eating the furniture and the people and stuff and then a cute pet turns into a not so very cute pet
|
|
at all. Yeah, the moment the pig has eaten your children then it's not cute anymore. No, no,
|
|
it's not cute anymore then then it's just bacon time very deadly bacon. So the thing there's
|
|
something to be said about when humans grow up there and stop being cute and start killing other
|
|
species and eating them for breakfast. Yeah, yes, definitely that's there's there's definitely
|
|
going to be if if humans were to um were to ever become um what were to basically um make
|
|
itself not smart again to survive for some reason. Then there would be another animal and there
|
|
if there would be another animal which would rise to the throne of being great and amazing um like
|
|
except the humans failed but um which would try to be great and amazing it would probably eat humans
|
|
if humans were tasty that is could just eat pigs maybe they are pigs. So
|
|
killing humans for fun then. Yeah, the thing is for humans humans aren't supposed to be smart that's
|
|
that's that's like humans are supposed to be long distance runners that's what we're supposed to be
|
|
there are some people who can run for six hours straight apparently which is insane I can't even
|
|
run for a minute without being without being tired. We can't differentiate, be awake you for so
|
|
so long so some people cannot be awake for so so so long. Right, yeah, and we could differentiate
|
|
at this point between bodies and your consciousness so your body might be able to run for six hours
|
|
but can you can you remain conscious for more than a day. My body can't do that I don't think
|
|
because I have a massive brace which keeps me from breathing correctly. Now I can breathe but not
|
|
as deep as I can usually breathe so yeah. But if you can remain conscious 24-7 that would be an
|
|
achievement for human kind. That would be an achievement for humankind but they have to ask
|
|
yourself what are you doing because I can be conscious for 24 hours. I mean without collapsing at
|
|
the end of it. I wouldn't be able to be conscious a whole year that would be that would be impossible.
|
|
Yeah, I've heard a way to talk to you since like you was no sleep 24-7 all year long.
|
|
No no no it's well all year up until this point. It isn't very long because it's only being seven
|
|
hours. Like I'm already a little insane to begin with so it probably sounds like a crazy
|
|
person right now. No no I'm always crazy and I'm doing number. Okay well yeah because I need
|
|
to be in number mode in my mind to join number. Yeah so I need to be like you are no to before I
|
|
join number. You get a pass for speaking a different language as well in my book. Me.
|
|
Well yeah you can sound like a bit drunk. I've been awake for for too long but you're even
|
|
speaking in a different language so. I'm terrible at languages. I tried German. It failed.
|
|
I tried French. It failed. I'm terrible. Like they it didn't even offer me Spanish. I don't know
|
|
why. I didn't eat. Yeah. The Spanish is similar to French alone in school. Yeah.
|
|
It's easier to learn but then again he usually walks to Spain every year so yeah. I mean literally
|
|
he walks to Spain. I don't know why but he likes to do it so yeah. So it's short distance
|
|
to Spain then. Oh no it's quite long distance. He just enjoys it. He enjoys being a
|
|
palgrim. It's I don't even think it's for something with God or something but basically
|
|
in some people like to walk. I have a friend that loves to walk. He walks two or four days
|
|
sounds like walking like my grandfather. He might get along. Yeah. Yeah. He is in his
|
|
forties or maybe close to 50 knows. My grandfather is in 70 I would say I don't really know. I
|
|
hardly know the ages of my siblings. So I have siblings. I have one older and one younger. I'm
|
|
in the middle and I'm also the only boy so yeah. So the shit in the middle. It's hard to
|
|
talk about that. Yeah. Well yeah. I'm basically like Malcolm in middle or something but then
|
|
with that but then more annoying for me because I couldn't shoot down their princess castles with
|
|
my gun so my Lego fortress. See what I mean? Totally unreasonable. Funny that. It's funny. It was
|
|
funny. In my perspective it was very funny for me. Yeah. I don't think they agreed. You said
|
|
that to your sister then if I understand you. No I just I they had like a I had a Lego fortress
|
|
thing which could shoot actual cannonball things and they had their own princess for princess castle
|
|
which looked amazing to raid. It had gold everywhere. So of course I was going to shoot cannonballs
|
|
at the towers that you can't expect me to do anything else. That that that that was my logic
|
|
back then. So yeah it made sense and I accidentally hit one of them in the head and then everyone got
|
|
angry at me. Oh you hit one of your siblings in the head. Yeah the smaller one. Yeah the moment you
|
|
hit the smaller one it's bad if you hit the bigger one it's okay. No it's so it's so it's usually
|
|
pretty bad either way it's pretty bad. No but hitters someone is smaller and he's always built and
|
|
hit them so much bigger. I was aiming for the tower. I just have terrible aim. In my defense I have
|
|
medically diagnosed a terrible aim. So after you shot your sister when we was going to hospital to
|
|
get you it's classified as bad aiming. No I luckily I already had that because yeah and yeah
|
|
I've got terrible motoric stuff. So no weapon for you then. Guns and stuff. Oh
|
|
I did get sword ones and it was from the same grandfather who likes to walk down to Spain. He
|
|
wanted to give me a sword when I was four and he eventually gave it to me when I was 14. It
|
|
isn't sharp. It's just a shiny sword. It looks cool but it doesn't do anything. So yeah but you're
|
|
aren't going to give it to a four-year-old. That doesn't I hope that makes sense. So a real sword or
|
|
a kind of toy sword. A real not supposed to be actually used in combat swords so it doesn't have
|
|
supposed to kill but not supposed to even harm a person. It only has a sharp point but the
|
|
sword design is made for slash. So it doesn't it just doesn't work. It's not a weapon. It's just a big
|
|
pointy metal stick. It gives you some idea of how that would be though when you're handling that kind
|
|
of a thing. Yes and also it's kind of old so the copper wire is coming out of the reptilian leather
|
|
so it it it stings when you use it so I'm not using it but that would be that I don't think
|
|
that would be great for a four-year-old. I think hopefully all those days are gone. I know they
|
|
didn't stick to you hack each other up but yeah no those days were long gone even when the
|
|
swords came that was from 18th 19th century I would think from I think it was from Czech
|
|
from Czech somewhere or whatever that place called there Czech Slovakia was or something.
|
|
Now Czech Republic and Slovakia. Yeah probably no country left that only have a sword in the
|
|
osheri. No this definitely wasn't supposed to be used as a sword. It was like an officer thing. You
|
|
had a sword because it looked cool. Yes it was definitely ceremonial. You just have to have a
|
|
sword because it looked cool and you didn't have a sword because if there had any defensive
|
|
purpose at all it was just cool. Yeah I know you came and you just had a manual force.
|
|
Yeah they had to they had them in a lot of time apparently. Yeah in the UK a sword would still
|
|
have defensive you know it's about which other weapons are available to people. Yeah that would
|
|
make sense but this weapon wouldn't be available to people because it's expensive. It has
|
|
reptilian leather. This isn't something you just get out of a cow. This is something you get out
|
|
of a reptile. It's expensive. I think people who are making scabbards out of reptilian leather
|
|
initially possibly won't do. I don't know it's hard to say whether they're doing it for the
|
|
look. It's the grabby bit. It's apparently to it's of course for the look and it's a rougher
|
|
so you can hold it better. Apparently I don't know. Yeah it's you get more of a grip
|
|
that's that's what it was for I think. Well maybe you could use it for agricultural purposes.
|
|
Well how would you stab a wheat? Not stab it but you know from potatoes there's an application.
|
|
Stabbing potatoes. No we call them chips. French fries. Dicing. Dicing. This sword doesn't do
|
|
cutting. You're just using a metal slab to wrap. So smashing potatoes. Smashing might work.
|
|
Yet it's I would just get a hammer. I can tell you this metal stick is the most useless thing
|
|
in the entire world. Probably not the most useless thing that maybe not far off. Still a piece
|
|
of steel you could repurpose that one day. Yeah definitely you can you can repurpose it. Yeah but
|
|
then again it's so old that you if it's really so old as you said it was should might be then
|
|
I'm not want to repurpose it even if it's completely useless. Yeah. You repurpose it and
|
|
afterward you learn it but much more before you... That would be terrible. That would be absolutely
|
|
terrible. Do you use foreign oath afterward you had the most price did or the shit or that sort
|
|
ever over there and you just melted it down to nothingness. That would be terrible. To know there
|
|
was once that that does me that that makes me think about something I heard apparently after the
|
|
second world war the only world war that neither of them actually cared about because it was
|
|
neutral in the first one there were some there was this guy and well in the second world war he was
|
|
basically well during that time he was basically faking art pieces but then the Nazis came around
|
|
and they wanted the art pieces so he sold them to him and then later he had to prove to judges
|
|
that he wasn't a Nazi supporter and that it was actually fake. That's that that's beyond words
|
|
right there it was he was so good that he had to explain why it wasn't real that that just that
|
|
that's something that blows your mind right there that's no if you make art in the same period as
|
|
you're supposed to copy someone else yeah but the thing is he did it illegally he told people even
|
|
before in the second world war he told people hey these are actual real remnants calm calm I have it
|
|
it's worth like billions if you can just give all those billion to me then you can have this
|
|
old painting but it wasn't old it was quite new so yeah yeah he definitely he was good
|
|
he was so good that he needed to prove that he wasn't he wasn't betraying his country by
|
|
selling it to other people yeah so do not get hanged in it to prove he's been
|
|
well not to not get time not it was not to get shot and murdered and killed because he would have
|
|
been he was arrested and he would have been executed if it wasn't a fake and because it wasn't a
|
|
fake instead of being executed he became a fork hero which wasn't upgraded is just to think about
|
|
think about that you just one minute you you're going to be executed as as betrayer of your country
|
|
next minute you're just you're the hero of your country having slited having slited to enemy
|
|
and selling them fake old pieces of art really that's uh yeah see later folks okay
|
|
bye are you going to go yeah I want to make an episode for HBR so maybe uh maybe later
|
|
okay that was uh from talking to you yeah interesting have a good day
|
|
you too bye have a good day bye so Ben Dragon are you still doing the D&D on each Wednesday or whatever um
|
|
well uh katsu couldn't couldn't say dude for some reasons but we're doing it again we're starting up
|
|
um we're starting up again and um in in January and it's January now so yeah so yeah so um we're
|
|
gonna start soon I would think um start again we're currently in hell so everything is going great
|
|
we are in hell and we're basically ghosts we're on the ethereal realm and we're in hell literally
|
|
first level first level oh yeah no I thought you you was talking about you being in
|
|
nettle land right yeah Michael ten yeah I thought you added them because I was thinking about them
|
|
but I was young I thought netland was kind of hell that's what I was told
|
|
where do you live actually in a Norway Norway yeah Norway yeah okay well I can assure you the
|
|
Netherlands isn't hell or maybe I'm lying and uh it actually is hell it's just a big portal
|
|
tell no it's not hell doesn't have a lot of water in it the Netherlands has a lot of water
|
|
there's an entire history about the Netherlands with the people in it and its relationship to water
|
|
it's complicated and interesting because it kind of uh I know no it's not but uh I was so many
|
|
yes before I learned school it was not uh that we lived yeah that's funny
|
|
yeah yeah because I probably then I heard about netland in mine because it was totally fine with me
|
|
because it's just a map but far behind now in my mind so so you were like uh the Netherlands
|
|
means hell yeah the Netherlands it's basically hell so that's fine yeah the Netherlands is
|
|
full with water no that's that's legal that can't be you can't have water in the Netherlands that
|
|
would that would that would that would ruin everything yeah you have leavens that so hmm
|
|
if I probably had much lower in the Netherlands no no we actually don't have a lot of um
|
|
geo uh thermo activity we don't have any earthquakes no volcanoes we have to make our earthquakes
|
|
ourselves we have no no you replace all your water events with rubber events and then you have
|
|
netlands in minecraft yeah yeah that's what you have so much water you just switch them and then
|
|
you have the netland from minecraft yeah if you just turn on the on the water into lava then you
|
|
basically get the net there of minecraft yeah you just need some some burnt skeletons a few walking
|
|
pigs and um and and and big big uh big cry babies which fly around shooting
|
|
shooting fireballs which you can play tennis with me you know might even happen did you know
|
|
that we actually have created earthquakes ourselves we had to create our own earthquakes we didn't
|
|
have any so and and we were kind of jealous of all the other countries having earthquakes and we
|
|
were like we want a piece of that pie so I don't think you know it has earthquake too not not
|
|
to me as far as I know okay um yeah you want to have earthquakes we have figured out how to make
|
|
earthquakes step one go into a farm and find a lot of um gas in the ground step two drain all the
|
|
grass gas step three the earth will sink in and you will get your earthquakes hey yeah we we
|
|
now have earthquakes in uh chronia it's like the northern part um yeah the the parts near to the
|
|
other part which has its own language even which is official even though sign language isn't
|
|
official yet that's that's that that's kind of weird isn't it that sign language is is sign language
|
|
official there in Norway yes I know is it is like an official language like I think there would be
|
|
an official sign language but is it like a language like officially recognized I talk to someone that
|
|
have learned it it's kind of not used one kind of it's kind of I I it's kind of each city has
|
|
its own language kind of so it's not really so it's not really an official so you so you kind of have
|
|
do you kind of then like as far as as far as I thought I was told the gun of
|
|
it is and it is the people are forced to use it needs to have something so they have some
|
|
they come in but yeah translate outside of the kind of so it's basically there's an um
|
|
they they needed to get the bureaucracy done but in sign language but um they didn't know uh in
|
|
in which dialect of a sign language to choose which apparently there are a loss of dialect like
|
|
every household every every group of sign language using people which come together each can
|
|
have their own different dialect think about that there are so many groups of people
|
|
all being able to speak sign language coming through together what if every single one of them
|
|
had their own kind of language yeah as I understand this half the problem is if it you know
|
|
totally is done language it kind of understand yeah you need to sometimes help people with signs
|
|
so people have something to so I'm not sure if it's been totally is done language I'm not really
|
|
into it but I've been told different things by different teachers okay well and what we have here
|
|
if you ask in the big city they are kind of the very high up kind of up in the air they say
|
|
or uh oh city language is what the whole country use but if I ask anyone that doesn't live in
|
|
that city they disagree with the whole argument so yeah yeah that does sound like like a like a
|
|
dialect thing yeah yeah I had to read about that kind of stuff for school and of course my mother
|
|
knows lots about it but yeah well we have here basically is we have of course all we have tons of
|
|
different kinds of but one I'm focusing on now is going to be the like the sign language it's
|
|
like the pure sign language thing it's not connected with Dutch it is the Dutch sign language but it
|
|
isn't connected with Dutch at all and it's like another language so oh um it I personally I think
|
|
it's more of a language than uh freeze which is an actual language here um hardly anyone speaks it
|
|
except in so so freezing cold yeah kind of kind of yeah actually that's that might be
|
|
where the word freezing comes from because it's uh up north and it's probably quite cold there um
|
|
and you have maybe English as you on the free language so
|
|
no we don't have English here no oh I thought you was uh one of the guys that talk about
|
|
you have English as your second English in the country no that will speak me just me
|
|
I'm there oh I think yeah and uh in the country no no no no no no I've got the I've got one of the
|
|
best pronunciations in the school um I think personally that because teachers yeah yeah yeah we
|
|
have a two language two languages so of course yeah we have two languages only one is uh is
|
|
is is is a regional language and now a park now um in in the press conference with uh with
|
|
the prime minister they're even using a um a sign language guide things so all the sign language
|
|
people are um saying or signing um like um um we we want to have sign language as an official
|
|
language so that's what people want and yeah what were you saying again uh
|
|
uh what was I saying but no about having two languages uh you have uh your
|
|
Netherlands this Irish language and uh that's so you have not English as your second language
|
|
tell you something else um you said you had two but yeah I have uh two uh and you said your
|
|
contrast shall I just or shall I uh explain our country has two languages one which is the
|
|
official language for the country which everyone uses it's called Dutch and then you have one
|
|
which only people in a certain part of a country of the country use I'm not in that part of the
|
|
country I don't use it um then I personally grew up speaking Dutch and English so I'm bilingual
|
|
I can speak two languages do do you get do you get it now it's like yes so Dutch then it
|
|
does our own country but it's the Dutch from or is that Netherlands what do you mean
|
|
so our only country that is Dutch land uh do you mean like uh Germany um no no your language is
|
|
the language is from your country or is is organ is uh always some land that called the Dutch land
|
|
or something um now um I I speak the the language from my country and I speak the language which is
|
|
spoken around most of the world English and uh no I'm wondering I have a game that this
|
|
kind of world war two that has Dutch then as one of the country you can play us oh that's
|
|
Germany that's uh that's I think the um no no you have Germany and you have uh Dutch the same as your
|
|
language does it spell as the uh wait I'm gonna type it in a chat no not like no uh it's uh for
|
|
letter swing okay wait is it like this yeah it's really good uh this is just the um this is just the
|
|
creative of the game not um paying attention to actual uh real world names of the country the
|
|
country is called the Netherlands uh in our native language we call it native lands are we
|
|
call our language native lands and uh we are native landers if you translate it to English for some
|
|
weird reason it goes that we live in the Netherlands we speak Dutch and we are Dutch we don't know
|
|
where the Dutch comes from we think it comes from do from from what we call doubts which is German
|
|
basically and German comes from the Germanic tribes which lived here long long ago but we don't
|
|
but we we we think that happens anyway but it's only in English no other language I think
|
|
has it that way or at least not a lot of languages not any languages I know have it that way
|
|
so the creators of that game didn't check what the language was actually called we're actually uh
|
|
in five minutes we have we have we have we have another hour and I and the sun isn't up yet it's
|
|
sun is getting up the sun isn't up yet so yeah people are gonna wake up at this point yeah for
|
|
noticed try to search for a thing yeah are we the only two people on right now
|
|
if that's not confusing enough stop yeah we're the two that's talking on stop I like talking now
|
|
to you I like talking to a pecanus says if that's not confusing enough here in the US we have a group
|
|
people we call the Pennsylvania Dutch who are the of German ancestry okay that's just weird that's
|
|
I didn't I can kind of get where the whole Dutch German Netherlands doubts came into play like it
|
|
it's it's clearly translation um England and the Netherlands that's oh it's from the doge yeah
|
|
that's that's how German people called themselves I can't pronounce it because I'm terrible at
|
|
speaking German but yeah um to know to know I can only speak English because I'm I'm happy Irish
|
|
you probably know that already but do you know that I can't speak the Irish language Gaelic not
|
|
many people can that's true I see your back I've got Bluetooth headphones I'm not sure but I
|
|
need to push to talk on the on the keyboard so I need to wander up and do things I bet I'm usually
|
|
up by three hours already at the time of the day so I need to carry on okay but but yeah not many
|
|
people can but have you seen the spelling on this like my name here is misspelled technically it
|
|
doesn't have a little little line on the eight which goes to the right which makes a very confusing
|
|
because technically I went someone the spelling name correctly it would like I uh uh with with with
|
|
the G and the A and all the stuff but except the little the little thing I usually ignore it but
|
|
it's technically incorrect how do we pronounce your name Patrick Bodrick and that's even more confusing
|
|
because it's an Irish name but pronounced Dutch gotcha I think again you can look to the the
|
|
British administration for destroying the Irish language yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I'm not one that
|
|
goes far into Irish language I think it's way too depressing um I I Dutch
|
|
Dutch history is way the Dutch history is way more way more less depressing if you ignore all
|
|
the slavery and stuff then it's way less depressing and of course there's the whole
|
|
world war and blah blah yeah we gotta look forward we need to look forward and uh make peace everywhere
|
|
and good times yes yes I'm actually um at one o'clock I um was I was actually uh printing out a
|
|
map of the world an empty map and I'm coloring it in and I'm like uh unifying all these uh great
|
|
superpowers like um Europe Japan Japan's getting Alaska it's not realistic world view um uh Canada's
|
|
getting bigger Mexico is becoming a thing in my map it's big it's really really big now like
|
|
imagine if Mexico had all the stuff from the mech which it had before the Mexican Wars then it
|
|
then it also gained all the stuff till like the Panama Canal and little further that that's if it
|
|
gained all like middle America that that that's how big it is oh I'm happy New Year's to Edmonton
|
|
oh yeah happy New Year's to Ed Edmonton where's that where's that uh I believe it's Canada
|
|
they could be around Canada so it's the only chase that has that time zone now here in mountain
|
|
time zone in the alleged land of Idaho it's just it just uh rolled over as well
|
|
happy New Year's December 30 32 2020 that calendar is uh 2020 has just destroyed the calendar
|
|
have you guys read that in the chat so did someone else talk to you Mike?
|
|
probably what what do you mean I've just been waffling on and on and on oh no I think
|
|
someone had slipped up and up for it I know that was probably me yeah yeah if I'm waffling too much
|
|
just tell me I'm waffling too much otherwise I'll just keep on waffling until I'm I'll starve today
|
|
that's how much I'll keep on waffling I mean isn't this whole thing about waffling yes that's true
|
|
but it might not be the most interesting thing in the in the whole world waffling is that the food
|
|
you're talking about the waffle the waffle is a food it's a food yet also um it's it's also like
|
|
a saying I kind of it's like I never heard about it funny enough what do you say I had a
|
|
noise so I never heard about the waffle as a saying before it's like I'm waffling on and on and on
|
|
it's like I keep on talking uh and and it's not really interesting and that kind of stuff
|
|
I like the waffling I'm wondering what probably someone that doesn't like a waffling heavy
|
|
use wet personally I don't like waffles I know it might come to to as a shock but I don't like
|
|
waffles I think I think you'd like to talk like a waffling but not eat a waffling hey yeah basically
|
|
I like I like to talk a lot about random stuff which I remembered and I don't like eating waffles
|
|
I'm actually very picky with my food I wish I would stop but I can't yeah I'm picky it's
|
|
hell but uh I like waffles because that is one of the few things I can still eat and I'll not at
|
|
home yeah waffles are definitely quite a good um how does water is warm what the hell
|
|
warm walls are reminds me of it's been on my computer fans
|
|
yeah I was told actually that waffles are nice and I will believe that person waffles are
|
|
probably very nice but I so what was it I had you tried the one kind of hard one of the soft one
|
|
the one which looks like like a hashtag the one which isn't made of bright it's kind of big and
|
|
it was kind of kind of I would say 30 centimeters big it was kind of soft was very chewy I didn't
|
|
like it quite try again you know I might I maybe maybe I'll like waffles now it was some years ago
|
|
who knows you have two different types one one from two different countries yeah could be you
|
|
have the hard work full type and you have yourself to work full type yet was definitely soft
|
|
waffle I would think yeah because the hard one is kind of it's very high percent sugar sugar in
|
|
as I understand it yeah there was a lot of sugar in it that that's definitely lots of sugar
|
|
and but um I know one thing which is better than any waffle
|
|
and I'm eating pancakes I I eat pancakes sometimes sometimes I mostly eats the stuff which I
|
|
put on the pancakes I eat it off the pancakes um so sometimes I also have pancakes uh taste like
|
|
the reflux eight um well I can't remember because the waffle was so such a long time ago and I
|
|
only started eating um started eating that because in no way pancake and reflux is more or less
|
|
the same thing I think they're quite different here there pancakes definitely thinner they're
|
|
it's not the same size but what this uh then the sauce material is the same it's the same soup that
|
|
you cook in all way it's it's the same soup the only difference is how much sugar you had in
|
|
it in all way if you're waffles and if you if the form is it the shape of that yeah the way
|
|
the form and the sugar and that it's in all way this is probably a very different waffle from
|
|
the waffle I have eaten if you're waffles when I was like six so I can because I was in a one time
|
|
in their alps and tried out other different waffle type and I did this I did did this like it so
|
|
it was too hard and too sugary so if you like if you like something um there there um
|
|
but I there's something really really nice which is better than any waffle it's called tiramisu
|
|
it's amazing it's like it's like um it's like one of those uh being a stuff very app like uh
|
|
it's basically a whole lot of mushy sugar together in a big bowl and you can eat it with a fork
|
|
or spoon so if you think uh is that if that's your preferred kind of waffle maybe you've put a bit
|
|
more sugar or fruit in your in your oh I don't eat fruit that's sorry that's a weird fact about me
|
|
I don't like it at all you know I don't even know if it has waffle in it but it seems it seems
|
|
to look fairly like like waffle if you scoop it out of the tin because uh and it tastes amazing
|
|
tastes amazing so how do you image of it like a link I might I'm gonna look it up wait a minute
|
|
uh wiki kind of fair link or something because I send you I'm not sure if you see
|
|
the link I send you I forgot to say I send you a kind of a link because I send it and
|
|
I don't really forgot about it I'm I'm gonna send the uh okay yeah yeah yeah okay yeah I'm going to
|
|
afford to shoot the use I always send it to the whole channel but I didn't
|
|
connoisse it to us meant for you oh okay yeah I'm uh I'm going to uh copy pay is um an image
|
|
there like a link to an image it's a very clean caught one usually mine are way way gooier
|
|
but this will give you the best image I think which you could find in a few seconds oh yeah
|
|
because I was just going to copy the link but it was not a link it was some texting something
|
|
yeah yeah I don't know what that is but it's so okay then it's not a cake necessarily it's
|
|
way too gooey to be a cake but it's a good kind of gooey not bad kind of gooey but it looks like
|
|
okay it's way too clean caught it's not realistic here they they probably did it the wrong way
|
|
but it's the way I happen here I don't make it but I eat it and it's um no it's basically it's basically
|
|
also bad are you unable to find it somewhere else outside your own house
|
|
the thingy is definitely a homemade it's definitely homemade thing yeah it's it's better than any
|
|
waffle can tell you yeah because I only trust you only have eaten the homemade waffles
|
|
yeah and I I have only eaten the like the waffles from like a waffle place like not I haven't ever
|
|
eaten a homemade waffle that might that that might mean something I want to do if I ever want
|
|
want to do that um because I've I've been the last time I've been to a waffle place was like
|
|
when I was very very small so I can I I haven't eaten a waffle since then um but it it's probably
|
|
very different because this was just just just the restaurants focused on waffles oh there is a
|
|
better waffle than and then and this is a like a real waffle I haven't met anyone in a right
|
|
mind who doesn't like this waffle should I tell you the waffle you're talking yeah I've got the
|
|
best waffle in the world and it's purely Dutch it's a Dutch waffle it's like if there was a waffle
|
|
which would be the most patriotic waffle of the entirety of the Netherlands this would be that waffle
|
|
it's called the strobe waffle and they try to make it on the on the British Bake-off and they
|
|
call it the stroop waffle it's very roughly doesn't like it yeah but but it's it's really nice if
|
|
you're ever in the Netherlands it's not the best quality but it's good enough just go to if you're
|
|
in the area just somehow after Covid all people talk about come to my country come to my country
|
|
yeah yeah that's true because people want to avoid Covid no one wants to invite people to
|
|
work on the before Covid but after yeah come come come they're like used to having people over
|
|
they like the Dutch they love to go on holidays can't do that anymore and Dutch terrible at
|
|
they they love their freedom they don't have their freedom anymore so they they're not happy
|
|
but yeah luckily most Dutch so no you you took a corn yourself don't you know not let
|
|
them so oh what so you call yourself your people Dutch people oh yeah because I'm talking in
|
|
English and it's the correct thing if I talk in English I call my people Dutch if I talk in Dutch
|
|
I call my people Nigerians it's yeah yeah it's just a weird thing of the English language
|
|
no it's very bad that you say your thing is what I think it's there I read what we call
|
|
your country Netherlands yeah it sounds like the same thing it's probably the same thing because
|
|
I use that in English language if you want it to catch on how do I say it Netherlands yeah I
|
|
want to bring whole close uh Dutch is doing Norwegian it's probably quite close because the Dutch
|
|
back in their heyday what I consider their heyday what most people consider their heyday
|
|
there were they were massive traders like you you you've got some war over there in that country well
|
|
they um they buy it and sell to the other country and that was just in Europe when they expanded
|
|
the Dutch is Europe would be a trade-off yeah they are sent to you it's from again and the big
|
|
trade-off picking and make good good at trading hey yeah I still have to there's like like a like a
|
|
this thing has things you so I have to switch over off um so I'll have a look at it later but I'm
|
|
gonna have a look at it because it seems very interesting but I but it it is it is it a trade is
|
|
literally a trader country because then they then they are correct that you got that is that is
|
|
smallest that's what you pick in saying a small step uh in smallest differences but kind of you
|
|
got one big one being Dutch not she is but kind of a shit so I really hope that being a Dutch
|
|
and I never realized what they are supposed to be in no days yeah because some of the countries
|
|
in that game does not exist anywhere it's what they used to be called once yeah uh
|
|
do still exist but they called something yeah yeah um yeah that's true there are lots of countries
|
|
have passed on emerging to one or evolved into a new name all we got is changed a little color of
|
|
the flag and move the orange color up a little you might think but there's only three lines in the
|
|
flag no there's a hidden fourth line above everything and that's the Uranus literally our royal house
|
|
is named after a place which it was named after color I think at least it's literally the house
|
|
of orange and it's orange and everything and if you want to be patriotic you have to wear orange
|
|
if you don't like orange you're not a patriot I don't really care I don't wear orange I don't have
|
|
a lot of orange but if I but yeah maybe best avoided in part Ireland as well yeah yeah there's
|
|
did you know that the Dutch uh and the English um uh royal families actually intertwined once
|
|
there's this guy who came and he basically uh you could say he conquered England you could say
|
|
yeah he was maybe William of Orange we we call him villain villain pure villain we have a loss of them
|
|
there we've got when the first guy was named king we uh he was the sixth one already so we did go
|
|
through a lot of villains um and and we're now on villain Alexander so um yeah I didn't know
|
|
I thought like heroes villain and heroes can't yeah it's not the same thing probably then
|
|
no villain not villain there's a lot of that yeah villain and villain is very very similar there's
|
|
another word which is also very similar but it's the same word but then a different meaning
|
|
and different spelling but basically yeah it's it's it's basically William but then the Dutch
|
|
version the the the real I would say the real version it's the verge of the
|
|
and the and they're made into a villain like yeah you will live kind of yeah the nature other than
|
|
the hall of the place do yeah yeah in twenty twenty yeah go
|
|
There was a big, a big influx of Dutch, I did hear a historically of a kind of invasion
|
|
of the Dutch into the UK, there were just a lot of Dutch, was it soldiers or people, they
|
|
all came and surrounded London kind of thing, but it wasn't a violent, I don't know, because
|
|
they were, the English always say, no, we invited them, they invited, they didn't take over,
|
|
we just invited them to come live here and be kings, not start out, not, not, not
|
|
lowly start outers, which basically were like presidents of the Netherlands, no, that's
|
|
bad, we have kings, but, but the Dutch always say, no, we conquered, we conquered, we, we
|
|
were conquerors, well, we don't really talk about it a lot, but definitely that conversation
|
|
did into at some point, I think it's great, if all the people can come in and say, you
|
|
know, just tell the best joke and say, you're the winner, you told the best joke, you can
|
|
sit on the throne and tell us jokes all day, we'll pretend you're in charge, get on with
|
|
that business, that's funny, if someone were actually to do that, do you know, sometimes
|
|
I think, like what if you had someone who wasn't breaking the law, but was being a terrible
|
|
person and you just have like a court of people, like a group of people which are all from
|
|
the same kind of grouping, like represents a safe of each group and then, yeah, and they
|
|
would vote on if the person was morally good or morally bad, that would be, I think that
|
|
would be quite funny, that would be quite funny, and then, yeah, I think that like every
|
|
day for every person, it works through their life and they talk to all these other people
|
|
and each giving opinions on what they think is good or bad in the world, yeah, yeah, but
|
|
if you had like a actual system with like a judge and instead of the punishment being
|
|
like, like to pay something or jail time or execution, you would just have to feel bad
|
|
for the rest of the day or something weird like that, yeah, it's just the karma of your
|
|
day, just those around comes around and it works for most people, I guess, yeah, actually,
|
|
if you were to believe some people, it does already exist, but I honestly, I think that
|
|
would just be very funny, you would have like totally serious people and it would be all
|
|
very serious and it would be very serious, but it would also be hilariously funny, yeah,
|
|
all about perspective and recognizing, I guess what's funny is real, I think, just have
|
|
left it is or how maybe even one person exactly like sees that thing as so serious, whereas
|
|
another person just recognizes that it's ridiculous, that's part of the accommodation of
|
|
the community I think, but I got the idea, do you know how I got the idea, I was, I usually
|
|
just, when I watch YouTube, I check my recommended, this time there was something about Reddit
|
|
and I was like, that seems interesting, I'm gonna have a look at that and boom, suddenly
|
|
Reddit videos are spammed into my recommended box, and yeah, so that's how I got the idea,
|
|
because YouTube spanned me forward recommended stuff, yeah, that's why I hate it if someone
|
|
sent me a YouTube link, of course, the moment I click on it, whatever it is, I can get
|
|
spanned by it, yeah, yeah, it wasn't even what, well, who knows what it's up to, it was
|
|
so much, because I need to take the link and then open a different app also, but not
|
|
logged in YouTube and then kind of, I found a way, just watch the video and dislike it,
|
|
or if you have another one recommended, and it isn't going away, if you just ignored
|
|
and it isn't going away, click on it, dislike it and go away again, that, I think you need
|
|
to concentrate on what you're doing and set to your intention and you know ignore those
|
|
abstractions, I sometimes think of the algorithm trying to persuade me, you know, because
|
|
there's a good thing, you can go and think at this miss those total videos, and it
|
|
takes me like a half a year to dismiss all those I actually did on, yeah, like working
|
|
for the algorithm, yeah, and I need to go to history and delete all history of the video,
|
|
so you are destroying it for me, yeah, like there was basically, so each time I see
|
|
a YouTube link, I don't want to hit that, I don't want to fuck it by YouTube recommendations,
|
|
yeah, it would be handy if you could like switch them off, but I, if you have a second
|
|
demo, so that you used only for not logged in to YouTube, that's pretty handy, but I forgot
|
|
what I wanted to say, if you have a browser that has in e-tomode or kind of private mode,
|
|
that doesn't have to log in, that is what I'm always using, each time someone sent me
|
|
a link on YouTube, remember, I need to copy the YouTube link, make a new private window
|
|
and copy them, so I'm kind of irritating each time someone sent me because I need to do
|
|
all the steps, I cannot just click the link, big news, the sun has arrived, he has arrived
|
|
to come and party, just to date for the party, I'm wondering if we got a sun, how late
|
|
is it there, I'm not seeing outside there yet, no sun, nowhere to see, another hour I think
|
|
before sunrise here, we're half past eight here, so I think, well, they might wake up, they
|
|
might not wake up for a little while more, I think maybe in around 12 or something, probably
|
|
the sun has come in the rain, but I know around 4 or 5 is thunderstorms, so me, yeah, could
|
|
be, yeah, I don't know if I'm the only one awake, like my sister was awake, oh, you mean
|
|
yeah, I thought you meant you remember in the world, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you're
|
|
definitely awake, I'm talking with you, yeah, because my listening about sister is not
|
|
speaking about going to sleep, you're going to sleep now, you're going to sleep now, that I thought
|
|
about the last hour or so, yeah, I'm just kind of probably going to sit here and talk about
|
|
something, so I forgot about it, yeah, but here it's now basically morning,
|
|
everyone's waking, well, everyone should be waking up, but it's new year's day, what am I
|
|
kidding, no one's waking up until at least 12, yeah, you get some, so you get totally quiet still,
|
|
yeah, it's totally quiet here too, I don't know if my little sister is asleep right now,
|
|
she wants it to stay awake the whole night, but it's very dark there, so she might be asleep,
|
|
yeah, the rest are all asleep still, so, or I'm the only one awake, or I'm the only one doing
|
|
something interesting, either way, you're the only one talking to someone else, that's true,
|
|
probably, yeah, I'm the only one doing something with sound, without maybe having noise cancelling
|
|
headphones in, those can get very annoying sometimes, not for me, but for other people,
|
|
I'm not wearing them, so, yeah, so noise cancelling, noise cancelling for you,
|
|
for you, for you, hey, well I've misplaced mine, misplaced as in, I left them in a safe place,
|
|
and I have forgotten what that safe place was, and I don't care, I also need to drink something
|
|
soon, because I haven't done that since three or four o'clock, I've been just sitting here talking
|
|
the whole time, yeah, because after the three days, you have been the thing that keep this room alive,
|
|
yeah, I've been, when I started, they were talking about weird stuff, everyone was talking about
|
|
something, I can't remember it, Colonel, yeah, the first time, everyone was talking about a
|
|
Colonel, and I, this was like the second or third time, I came in and checked on what everyone
|
|
was saying, yeah, you, you was, you didn't talk or didn't say anything about time, no, no, yeah,
|
|
that was because I was watching nature documentaries, yeah, I was still recording, yeah, so I'm not sure,
|
|
if you're just listening or, yeah, well I did listening at some points, but um, so not before you
|
|
start, not before we talked about the Colonel that you're doing this, no, at the Colonel, I,
|
|
I listened, and I listened for a little while, instead of just listening for a few seconds,
|
|
and I decided to say something at a point, I can't remember which, and then I just kept
|
|
talking, because that's what apparently I like doing the most, yeah, talking is fun, it's like,
|
|
when you're playing D&D, that's actually very fun with D&D, when you're, when you're playing D&D,
|
|
you're constantly talking, and that's fun, like there are two kinds of sessions, one session is
|
|
where you're planning stuff for the entire session, and you never get stuff done, the other session
|
|
is where you're in combat for the entire session, and you just end up in combat, and then maybe
|
|
why I cannot do a D&D, because it's my, I need to be like you are now to do English, and you don't
|
|
have to, well it's handy if you have the PHP, or the DMG player handbook, or Dungeon Master Guy,
|
|
or Monster Manual, Monster Manual sad, it doesn't have a nice, nice thing, it's just the PHP,
|
|
the Monster Manual, and the DMG, it doesn't have that, but it's handy to know English,
|
|
but it's not, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, not what I meant, I meant, if I'm going to
|
|
join you guys, it's probably not, very probably if I want to talk my own language to you guys,
|
|
and not your language, in my own language, well, it doesn't go fine, and you kind of,
|
|
use drum preset saying there's a trance, like all the different ways!
|
|
Yeah, but I'm understanding you're just fine right now, you want to join, I think,
|
|
have you seen it, refund them, rejoin you guys?
|
|
I think I did! Yeah, that was you, you were randomly joining us at some weird moments,
|
|
Yeah, I have randomly done you many times and hope you was something else on D&D
|
|
because if I'm not really in the mood to talk English, I just want to listen in
|
|
and D&D is not just listening, it's getting very involved with them. It's kind of fair.
|
|
It's not something you just join randomly and leave again.
|
|
Kind of. Yeah, that was, it was funny just when you suddenly, the first time when you
|
|
suddenly came in, I was like, who's this guy? What's he doing here?
|
|
Yeah, I think you asked that. Yeah, once or twice, I randomly joined, but after
|
|
sometimes you stop asking about each other. Yeah, because you joined for so many times
|
|
of us like, oh, he's that guy who joined the time before. Yeah, fine, let's go on with doing what
|
|
we're doing. Yeah, if you want to join, you can always just ask, you know? Yeah, I think I
|
|
doing not then you start and kind of, I've never been then you kind of ending because I thought
|
|
you'd done a little later, but then you all gone, so. What do you mean, like, what do you mean?
|
|
No, I thought, think about, okay, you do your game and I want to do it after you've done the game
|
|
so we can talk about how we're going to work and kind of after talk, but you're always gone,
|
|
each time I try to ask to do it because I'm not sure how long we're going to be supposed to be.
|
|
Well, I would then, if you want to join afterwards, well, we're supposed to be two hours,
|
|
and it's quite, quite clear. It's like if you joined the last 10 minutes, you usually catch us,
|
|
but it's very, we're very quick out of there. Usually, yeah, usually Klaatu has to leave for another
|
|
meeting and he, and it's like a few minutes till, until the end, and then he runs off and then
|
|
after we all say bye, and then we leave and do our own separate things. So Klaatu, there you go,
|
|
I was in here before today.
|
|
What did you say?
|
|
No, before today, someone was in here called something to him.
|
|
Is that the guy you were talking about?
|
|
Klaatu, I don't understand the question.
|
|
So, how do you write that?
|
|
Don't get it.
|
|
No, if you type that name out.
|
|
Oh, yeah, I can type it the name.
|
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
|
|
I'm very, very, very bad at names. That doesn't help me play out kind of game with many names.
|
|
I'm very bad at learning names and kind of need to look at them again and again and ask again and again.
|
|
He has done, if you really want to remember his name, he's got a series called
|
|
Tabletop Gaming, I think. That's how I got into D&D, so I think, yeah, and
|
|
So is that someone named that in the room that you're doing with game?
|
|
Klaatu is the guy who's basically who is our DM, who makes the world and stuff, you know.
|
|
So, game master?
|
|
Yeah, it's the same thing.
|
|
I know the concept of a D&D, I never played it because it's all the different things I
|
|
doesn't like about. The only thing I don't, I don't like a fantasy in one game.
|
|
I didn't know that before I tried to play it with you guys.
|
|
I tried to listen in.
|
|
Yeah, I know what it was before I tried to listen in to you guys.
|
|
I kind of knew about the concept, but I never tried to listen to anything.
|
|
You know, I've always thought it was kind of rude to try to listen in with people playing it.
|
|
If you relived, but I thought this was kind of a...
|
|
Yeah, if you want to make a character, I can do that right now.
|
|
I just need to head upstairs and get my books, and then I'm ready, but it would, I don't have,
|
|
don't have the problem is you don't have a copy there, do you, of the player handbook? No.
|
|
Technically, we could then make a character for you if you want to.
|
|
It's a very fun process. So a call to use pop up, and I play for one season, and you kill it off.
|
|
You could do that, or you might enjoy it so much that you want to play it again and again and
|
|
again, because that's what we're doing. We're playing it. We basically, we started and we did
|
|
one adventure, and it was a very good adventure, and then we were like, do we want to do another
|
|
adventure? It was an unanimous yes, and then we went to another, and another, eventually CRVS
|
|
left the game because he had other stuff which took up his time, and we were kind of lonely.
|
|
We needed another friend, so then Benny joined, and then we played until we're in hell.
|
|
So in that one?
|
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're in the Netherlands. First layer of the Netherlands.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
It actually, in actually the hell, this layer of hell where we're in, there's not a loss of
|
|
fire involved. There are some dragon demons which we, which we, um, which we have to escape from,
|
|
and a giant, a semi-autonomous, um, a truck of death riding slowly towards us, but we escaped
|
|
luckily, so yeah, and the shipwreck. I know, that's probably why it doesn't like, uh,
|
|
D&D because it's very unique, you cannot play it alone really.
|
|
Ah, yeah, that's the one problem. That's the one problem of D&D. You need other people.
|
|
Yeah, that's, uh, the reason I like Minecraft, but I don't like D&D, and I'll try to understand
|
|
you like Minecraft. What is the big difference between Minecraft and D&D?
|
|
Well, and you're kind of pronounced it, it's all leaves, it gets, uh, weekend,
|
|
weekend, and so don't just go strong and stronger, and I like to play single player games,
|
|
and that's also not good in D&D.
|
|
Yeah, I'm, even in Minecraft, I'm terrible at single player. I just, I just joined the world.
|
|
I, uh, I have one survival single player, and, um, there's this, and it's very weird.
|
|
It's very weird. I, I decided to make it beautiful first. Um, oh, uh, hey, okay. Well,
|
|
by Apikannis, I hope I pronounce you well. Yeah, it's close enough.
|
|
Uh, Apikannis, thanks for giving me a matrix thing.
|
|
Ah, yes, and yeah, I'm glad somebody pointed it out to me.
|
|
Yes, I can't point it out to you about matrix, and then, so, you, you, uh,
|
|
it, uh, it, uh, uh, uh, yeah, glad to finally find it, so I'll be on there.
|
|
Yeah, I didn't thought about asking for it.
|
|
Ah, yeah, I figured I was on, on, on anyway, so, uh, I, I would, uh, ask all I could.
|
|
So glad I did.
|
|
Yeah, I was good listening in, and, uh, happy new year to everybody, and, uh,
|
|
I'm in the alleged, uh, the alleged state of Idaho.
|
|
Oh, so you, uh, midnight zone, yeah, almost 1 a.m.
|
|
Okay, yeah, that's like, um, seven hours back.
|
|
Yeah, it's around the time I joined this place in my time.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
It's also around the time I joined this place in my time, except a little later, I joined it.
|
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was a five-talk pick-in, and then you, uh, time to join this.
|
|
Yeah, I'm just glad I made it this year.
|
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right.
|
|
Well, I will see everybody on Matrix then, and, uh, happy new year to y'all.
|
|
Happy new year.
|
|
Happy new year to you, dude.
|
|
Yep.
|
|
So, did you have a speaking background he has, and he was having his microphone,
|
|
but did I use hair in my head?
|
|
What do you say?
|
|
When he was talking, it has something, uh, squeaking in his head.
|
|
Yeah, I did notice that.
|
|
That was, uh, yeah.
|
|
So I was wondering if it's just in my head because my head is kind of...
|
|
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it was, uh, it was, uh, I could hear it, too.
|
|
Yeah, it was, uh, it was, uh, it was no, because my air is too good.
|
|
So sometimes I can help that people cannot hear at all.
|
|
Uh, cheap headset, that's the problem.
|
|
No, I have a too good headset.
|
|
So I have a, I have a headset with a microphone.
|
|
I have a cool gamer headset now for D&D.
|
|
No, I have someone I talk to.
|
|
I can hear the fans, uh, the computer fan in the room.
|
|
Canas says, uh, no, I mean my cheap headset is cheap with a cheap microphone.
|
|
Oh, yeah.
|
|
Yeah, he's been talking in the chat.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I thought that too.
|
|
Well, it wasn't, uh, we could stare here, you perfectly clear.
|
|
We can, yeah, perfectly clear, but do you have a squeaking sound,
|
|
getting louder and louder, you, uh, longer, you talk?
|
|
Light echo, but apart from that, it was, it was perfectly understandable.
|
|
Yeah, totally understandable.
|
|
No problem in that apartment.
|
|
No, my, yeah, it was a white noise in the background.
|
|
Yeah, I recently learned a white noise.
|
|
It's called white noise because it has every kind of noise in it like white light.
|
|
You have something called pink noise.
|
|
What's pink noise?
|
|
Because then I talked about the white noise.
|
|
I got pink noise at the end of the tip.
|
|
But how do you get pink noise?
|
|
What's pink noise?
|
|
I'm not sure.
|
|
I'm not remembering right now.
|
|
But I remember when I was short for it,
|
|
I get different kind of noise and pink noise about something.
|
|
Apple canas has got the answer.
|
|
He's got a Wikipedia page right here.
|
|
Gonna open it.
|
|
Pink noise or one slash f noise is a signal or a process with a frequency spectrum such
|
|
that the power or special spectral density power per frequency interval is inversely proportional
|
|
to the frequency of the signal.
|
|
In pink noise, each octave interval having or doubling in frequency carries an equal amount
|
|
of noise and noise energy.
|
|
Pink noise is one of the most common in signals and biological systems.
|
|
The name arises from the pink appearance of visible light with this power spectrum.
|
|
This is in contrast with white noise which has equal intensity per frequency interval.
|
|
So it's opposite maybe.
|
|
Yeah, kind of.
|
|
It's kind of like opposite inverted or something.
|
|
I didn't know.
|
|
I wasn't actually reading along with what I was saying.
|
|
You didn't listen to what you was reading.
|
|
Yeah, I wasn't.
|
|
I was I was reading enough to say it.
|
|
I wasn't I'm at that point where I definitely feel fine,
|
|
except I'm a little thirsty, but I you can you can feel.
|
|
I can feel that my brain is not computing.
|
|
It is not having a fun time.
|
|
I'm having a fun time.
|
|
I'm perfectly grand.
|
|
Yep, my brain is a bit complaining.
|
|
She quiet down a little.
|
|
I don't have a headache, but it's like parts of my brain have been like,
|
|
okay, it's it's time to go to bed now.
|
|
I'm ignoring you if you're not sleeping.
|
|
So they're not doing their job.
|
|
Yeah, so you got them, but they're not.
|
|
Yeah, each other.
|
|
A bit, yeah, yeah.
|
|
I've, I have dubbed it my zombie mode.
|
|
Sonny mode.
|
|
No, no, zombie.
|
|
Son, what?
|
|
Son, you know, Mike, you have green things.
|
|
Let's go around in the night, zombie.
|
|
Zombie, oh, that would make way more sense.
|
|
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
|
|
Only that, yeah, that doesn't like a zombie.
|
|
Yeah, yeah, I'm getting a tired, a little more tired.
|
|
And you know, that is my mental zombie mode.
|
|
I probably pronounce it if you want, because I'm getting mostly
|
|
a bit more pronounced and good to go, going to hell.
|
|
Well, if you're tired and you aren't doing a crazy idea,
|
|
like saying all night and day for, for new year,
|
|
then I would suggest you should go to sleep if you're tired.
|
|
Some very sensitive duty to always be the last one, number.
|
|
Yeah, so I kind of all the rhythm is but wisdom.
|
|
I have always, duty is stay to be the last one.
|
|
But I accidentally, okay, I'm the last one.
|
|
And the new people have been, I hope, deep joining.
|
|
And I, okay, I'm going to stay on.
|
|
One of my lungs is over 12 hours on number, nonstop.
|
|
Not knowing a way from number.
|
|
So you're basically waiting for everyone to leave.
|
|
And just when everyone left, you declared yourself to winner.
|
|
You stayed as long as possible.
|
|
And then the new guys come in.
|
|
Yeah, I don't let the more and once more than once.
|
|
Yeah, that's funny.
|
|
That's funny.
|
|
Yeah, when I have something like that,
|
|
and I'm not too stubborn to be like,
|
|
no, I have to finish this now.
|
|
Then I, then I just give up the mumble game.
|
|
Who will win?
|
|
It's a question.
|
|
I haven't brought supplies.
|
|
I do need actually to get a drink of water now.
|
|
Yeah, if you won't mind, maybe also going to get some food
|
|
so it might take a little longer, okay?
|
|
So fine.
|
|
Yeah, but I probably, I'm looking at the reason to live.
|
|
So it goes too quiet too long.
|
|
I probably live.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
But it's just starting with the end of the up again.
|
|
You probably see me.
|
|
Had you done your guys?
|
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
|
|
And then you're just listening in.
|
|
Listening in.
|
|
So, I'm not sure how it's supposed to go.
|
|
It can now ask questions when you're doing a D&D,
|
|
or are you actually in the zone on D&D?
|
|
When you're playing the D&D,
|
|
you can certainly ask questions.
|
|
If you're watching, I think you can also just ask questions.
|
|
If you're doing it well,
|
|
you just ask one of them big games about it,
|
|
because if I ask someone that doesn't do the game,
|
|
someone like me that's working on the game is...
|
|
You know, I'm actually...
|
|
I consider myself a new with Dungeons and Dragons.
|
|
I have only played for a year or something,
|
|
a little more than a year.
|
|
But I only do it for around a year or something.
|
|
Yeah, I know.
|
|
Yeah, when you started playing Minecraft a little before,
|
|
basically, because you said you started playing
|
|
not Minecraft a D&D.
|
|
No, I am looking at my own D&D,
|
|
what's the first time you've ever started?
|
|
Yeah, when we started lurking around in D&D,
|
|
that was when Clats 2 started the game, right?
|
|
Yeah, I...
|
|
It's not really for the wing, but it was this year, but...
|
|
Yeah, it was this year.
|
|
I was looking for something else.
|
|
That was the first time I actually played a proper game,
|
|
except on my birthday.
|
|
Yeah, so I was joining you for the first time,
|
|
and blogging for a whole year.
|
|
Yeah, yeah, that's fun, that's funny.
|
|
But yeah, a little before that,
|
|
like, I have my birthday in September,
|
|
so we started in April, so like half a year before it,
|
|
I started my D&D career, basically.
|
|
So it's not too much of a difference.
|
|
Yeah, but you were sort of into it,
|
|
but I was kind of lurking on the outside.
|
|
Yeah, well, but if you're looking up...
|
|
side, you can still join whenever you want.
|
|
You can also leave whenever you want.
|
|
It's like total freedom can just choose what you want to do.
|
|
Yeah, because I didn't know about the rules,
|
|
and each time I want to ask about the rules,
|
|
I didn't find you before, I didn't find you after,
|
|
so it's one thought kind of fun, they're into it.
|
|
The guy you need to ask is Clats 2.
|
|
That guy knows basically anything about Dungeons and Dragons.
|
|
He knows way more than me.
|
|
Yeah, you have been in Olbe.
|
|
I've seen your name each time I joined.
|
|
You kind of always...
|
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
|
|
This guy that talked to me, kind of,
|
|
he is in, you're only, people are like,
|
|
oh, someone joined us, kind of, no one else,
|
|
he kind of recognized me at all in the room,
|
|
and I've fought every time I talk a mumble,
|
|
even now I just have the list of names displayed.
|
|
I have nothing else to do except maybe throw dice,
|
|
so and can get really distracted by stuff.
|
|
So...
|
|
Yeah, like, I do have a number full screen,
|
|
and that is the only thing I do.
|
|
Yeah, yeah, so I usually know to start kind of thing,
|
|
but when it becomes more common,
|
|
I usually just ignore it, like, when someone,
|
|
like, has internet problems,
|
|
and they have internet problems so much,
|
|
I just basically ignore it.
|
|
Until they come back and ask what happened,
|
|
or it's their turn to do anything.
|
|
But if you want to know about the rules,
|
|
I can tell you a bit about the rules.
|
|
No, no, I kind of, if I want to just join, try it out,
|
|
so I can try to open it in the session,
|
|
or do I need to wait for the next time you're around?
|
|
Well, if you want to join one of our games,
|
|
I think everyone would be happy for you to join,
|
|
because it's always a good to have a new player join,
|
|
and yeah, maybe just one adventure for you to try out,
|
|
and then decide what you want to do.
|
|
Personally, I think that seems like a good idea.
|
|
Of course, it always has to go through the other guys,
|
|
and Klaatu, he is the dungeon master after all,
|
|
same as the same master.
|
|
So, ask me a new thing,
|
|
that when the guy that, uh,
|
|
acknowledge me as a possible player.
|
|
Yeah, yeah.
|
|
But, um,
|
|
so I thought, if I want to ask someone about the joining,
|
|
it's probably the only guy that recognize me as a possible player.
|
|
Yeah, are you talking about me or Klaatu now?
|
|
Yeah, you, because Klaatu has never talked to me ever.
|
|
Well, and each time I join, before I have to, he's always gone, so.
|
|
Yeah, Klaatu wakes up early in the morning,
|
|
he, um, then he goes, drinks some coffee,
|
|
and he, um, comes into the, the D&D thing,
|
|
and then he plays D&D, and then he has to rush off for his next meeting.
|
|
That's basically, that's what I figured out was the life of, of, uh, uh,
|
|
world, Klaatu.
|
|
Yeah, that, that's why it's so difficult to get before after here,
|
|
because it's now or before and after.
|
|
Yeah, and there's hardly any before I have to, so yeah,
|
|
I tried it once, and I was there in the entire session,
|
|
so it must be like, like, uh, ten times as hard for you,
|
|
well, when, when you're just sneaking in, trying to be, uh, there at the correct time.
|
|
Yeah, and Klaatu not, uh, disturbingly,
|
|
yeah, much in, to not be looking too much,
|
|
and then, uh, yeah, not getting it, because, uh, Klaatu,
|
|
grab what time you're supposed to be done,
|
|
it will just be context, I guess, and I'll,
|
|
it's about, it's about, um, uh, eight,
|
|
it's about, well, for me, it's eight.
|
|
Um, uh, we, we start at, um, 19 UTC,
|
|
and it's two hours long, so that would be, uh, 21 UTC, um,
|
|
personally, uh, I would advise you, if you were,
|
|
to, uh, want to come for after I don't think you'd need to, um,
|
|
but then, um, just coming in at, at the beginning would be
|
|
handier, because, uh, everyone rushes off at the end,
|
|
they, uh, have, they have, uh, nights to go through.
|
|
So it's better coming in before, because I'll try to come in
|
|
after, and I just gave it up.
|
|
Yeah, it's never precisely on time,
|
|
because, uh, of course, you want to have it as long as possible,
|
|
um, and like you, but, but also it's, uh, yeah,
|
|
but we start at 1900 UTC, that's when we start.
|
|
So, yeah, yeah, of course, it sounds like you didn't
|
|
have the same time zone.
|
|
Uh, yeah, but that's UTC, so that's, uh, that's like
|
|
world time, time decided something, um, yeah, because
|
|
I have the same time zone as, uh, Germany.
|
|
Yeah. Uh, is that the same parts of Germany as, um, yeah, yeah.
|
|
Just don't, yeah, do some zones.
|
|
Yeah, it, I didn't, I, I don't think so, actually.
|
|
I don't think so, but you see from wrong here.
|
|
We are in Germany, yeah.
|
|
We, we are definitely with, uh, Germany, um, I can know that.
|
|
Because if I want to be less picky than I'm saying what time zone is,
|
|
I'll be already pick a Berlin as my time zone.
|
|
Yeah. Well, I, I, I think, uh, yeah, no, I think it's the same time zone.
|
|
Um, yeah, but, uh, but yeah, um, just, uh, yeah.
|
|
So now you know the time and it's, um, uh, I, I just know it's
|
|
1900 UTC and summertime, winter time, of course,
|
|
messes up everything because you know, summertime, winter time,
|
|
just messes up everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think
|
|
we might have scrapped it this year, like last time and we're never doing,
|
|
doing that again. It was terrible mistake. We shouldn't have done it, um,
|
|
but I'm not sure. I didn't have it all my life, then. Uh, I, I did have it all my life.
|
|
Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. But, um, but, but I, I think they're just gonna, uh,
|
|
I, I, I think they might have been, they might have shot it off,
|
|
but I don't know for certain. You just know before the summer,
|
|
if they, they, if you're in summer and they're not toned,
|
|
we'll go around when you know, okay, yeah, that's, that's, that's, that's,
|
|
that's right. And then if it's not this year, it's not going to be any year,
|
|
because you want to bring that back. That would, that would be stupid and just
|
|
makes the parter. Yeah, need to go around and turn
|
|
with like one or back a mono forward. Yeah, it's so annoying.
|
|
Like my watch, my watch is already terrible. It's said like a full
|
|
of minutes or something before that it was 12. It said it was 12,
|
|
like a minute or two. And, um, so when it changes the time,
|
|
I, it only has three buttons. I don't know which one to press in which order
|
|
to get it to change the, change the hour. It's very complicated.
|
|
Yeah, I hate my car because of it, because it's so hard to,
|
|
in my car, I have one button to change the clock. One, one, now I hate it,
|
|
because it hold on. How many seconds I hold it in to be if I'm changing the clock,
|
|
changing something else. I just hate it though. Yeah, that sounds terrible.
|
|
Yeah, because if I hold it to, uh, hold it, uh, short, I used to the seconds,
|
|
a little longer. I do the minute and then I do the 10 minutes and I do the hours.
|
|
And I accidentally, it's possible, uh, they're all as opposed to I need to do it once again.
|
|
One, uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah, that's terrible. Yeah, terrible.
|
|
But I didn't know so many years ago, I can do 10 minutes and the hours. I did it
|
|
minutes and minutes. I did kind of a whole 24-7 minute, click, minute, click, minute, click,
|
|
around the whole and I was kind of hated. Uh, uh, I just, long recently, I can hold it
|
|
even longer and then it started to come fast. I didn't know what so many years I hated to do it.
|
|
I even had, uh, intentionally two weeks into the summertime or two into wintertime, one hour
|
|
or one on my, on my, uh, on my, uh, on my, uh, car driving clock because it was so hard to change.
|
|
Yeah, I have to say my watch, I like a few weeks before wintertime and I always forget that it's
|
|
coming. Um, it, it's just, it, I, I just changed it back and that's because I was, I'm like,
|
|
okay, so it's been so long and I haven't had the correct watch in ages. So I'm going to change it
|
|
back. Yeah. So it kind of looked at the computer. What is the computer clock? Okay. That is what
|
|
is supposed to be and I look, go to back to computer, take a clock with me, set it to that
|
|
and then go round to set it in different clocks. Oh yeah. I have a clock in each of my rooms
|
|
and I just hate the time I need to change it. So I, I'm totally on board with your idea of getting
|
|
to freedom. Yeah. Yeah. It's, if you want to, like I said earlier, just take the time
|
|
in where the sun is above you. And if you can't decide which place you have to stand, just stand
|
|
in the middle. And then the sun, and then if the sun is above you, it's, yeah. I, I, I think that's
|
|
kind of obvious, isn't it? Yeah. You were asking around for it before I'm not showing you
|
|
asking me, but I've forgotten. Yeah. I was just, just waffling. Conversations usually go
|
|
around in circles, also having to notice we mentioned that thingy twice, mention time zones twice.
|
|
We've, and we, we, we, we talked about waffling earlier and now I said waffling again and we're
|
|
probably going to talk about that except I'm talking about circle conversations now. Yeah.
|
|
Yeah. Yeah. So, circle conversation. Yeah. Oh my god. I bet you're about to. Hey, you said
|
|
it correctly. I'm, you bet you, I'm bet you're doing it. Well, the most of us. Yeah. And I keep
|
|
having a dry, dry throat. Do you mind if I just quickly run and get some water? I'm parked.
|
|
And you're like a sea on the land. Wanting water, wanting water. Yeah. And get dry and dry and
|
|
you just, I'm going to fly. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Go. So someone else in here. Hello. Hello.
|
|
This is more than a sea. Hello. Hey, do you miss me? Do you miss me? Oh, there's
|
|
me. Oh, there's me. Oh, I hate hearing my voice. I hate hearing my voice.
|
|
I fully understand that. Yeah. Yeah.
|
|
Well, well, since they got some water, I'm also going to get all their, all their
|
|
essentials as food. I haven't eaten food. I haven't eaten it in like six hours or something.
|
|
Like six hours or something. I don't know. All year? No, no, no, no, no, all year. It's, it's,
|
|
it's, it's nine years. So I've eaten it at three. And I've been just walking. I've been just
|
|
walking, walking, walking. Yeah. It's, yeah. Just talking about stuff. Oh gosh, so
|
|
much better. Is he echoing your voice? Low than you're talking. Um, what do you mean? No,
|
|
he's willing. It's, it's low than you're talking. So he has, uh, low the output and you're talking.
|
|
So I cannot hear your second, uh, the echo started. I cannot tell what you're saying before
|
|
it echo. Because it's low than you're saying. It sounded higher than one of us saying.
|
|
So we totally canceled out what you were saying. Each time you start talking and you need a
|
|
blab on to keep it kind of the same. If you just, if you stopped, if you kind of echo,
|
|
but it's a new blab non-stop, it's totally fine because you used a delay. Yeah, yeah.
|
|
I don't know what you're saying. Yeah, I, I was saying that I hate my voice. I hate hearing
|
|
my voice. I don't hate my voice. I think my voice is a great voice. Yet I hate hearing it.
|
|
And then you get your five minutes non-stop hearing your voice. Yeah, yeah. I have to say that.
|
|
No, no. He didn't hear what he was saying. He was going away.
|
|
Yeah, I can probably open the curtains. It's like sunny outside. Well, sunny except for all the clouds.
|
|
It's one of those great days, you know, a day that's completely grey. It's just grey.
|
|
I got to go outside because you're talking about the sun. I look to see if I go to the sun.
|
|
No sun, but I got snow. Fuck me.
|
|
Snow. Oh, you have snow. We haven't had snow this entire year.
|
|
2020. No snow. None.
|
|
No, this year you probably not have snow, but I not have the last year or this year snow.
|
|
No, I have it in the, I have snow in last year, but not after the summer.
|
|
No, what, what, what?
|
|
Not snow after summer.
|
|
So yeah, it doesn't snow after summer, yeah. I'm just, I'm just going to get some other stuff I need
|
|
to survive. So you're going to have water. You were fast. I got, I got my water. It was just on the
|
|
table and there was, you need to reach out for water. You were so fast. No, I had to run
|
|
all the way to the table, which I can see from here. It's like two rooms away.
|
|
Yeah, I'm hiding in a very back room of that entire house and then there's old bathroom
|
|
we don't use anymore. And the eating space. And in the eating space, there was a, there's a tap
|
|
and there's, there was my glass. So I had a glass.
|
|
Yeah, so you need to get the, to run, get the, for the water tap, get water and then run back to a
|
|
container. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's how it goes. Yes. Yeah, if, if, if you have something you need
|
|
and, if you have something in Minecraft, but you, you can't really stop, then that's how it goes.
|
|
You just, you just, you, you just pray nothing, nothing happens to you when you're gone. Yeah.
|
|
Yeah. I was always funny when I come back and I'd get creeped.
|
|
Oh, that's the worst. You know, shall I describe my, my, my, my Minecraft, my, my, my most
|
|
greatest accomplishments of Minecraft still now in survival. It's the literal worst.
|
|
It's in 1.16.4 at the moment. And it's, um, so there's this mountain. I live in a mountain. And
|
|
in, I tried to make it. So have you played since 1.6? 1.16. Oh, 16. 1.16.
|
|
1.4. No, I actually started playing at 1.12. That's very late. Um, of course, I was like four when
|
|
the game originally, uh, originally, uh, came out like, well, not the original, not 1.0, but like,
|
|
when it was started to get created and that kind of stuff, alpha, beta, whatever. That was, uh,
|
|
to 2009. I think maybe, yeah, I was, maybe I was five, but, yeah, I was straight to the game.
|
|
I started in the 9.8. What's my first version? What was added then?
|
|
You had the, and that though, you have a great tape there. So you just got creative. That's way
|
|
before I started. That's what I started in 1.12. That was the, that was the one before
|
|
the, a classic update. That was the one with, with different colors. I stopped playing
|
|
new version and 12. One point, uh, the first version you played is right before I stopped playing it.
|
|
Yeah. I look at it. So we have exactly the different, uh, yeah. Yeah. Uh, like I, I, I,
|
|
like, I was already, I knew about Minecraft, like in the way beginning, um, not, not way beginning,
|
|
but like, there was redstone, there was pistons, there was minecarts, power drill, that kind of
|
|
stuff. Not that, not a lot, no observers, I think yet. But there was, yeah, the, the, the Minecraft
|
|
handbook, uh, redstone updated handbook had just come out. I remember that. It was new. Um,
|
|
and that's, uh, when I, uh, that was the last thing I remember from being, like, really into
|
|
Minecraft, uh, and, uh, except from Minecraft pie. I was, um, I asked for Minecraft. I got
|
|
Minecraft Minecraft pie, which if you have ever played Minecraft pie is supposed to be a coding
|
|
thing, not a, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, non-coding
|
|
thing that was, uh, one of the subtle tricks my dad tried to use and failed miserably to get
|
|
us to program more. So it's your father. We can't keep it at some time in this place. But
|
|
did I miss understand something in the, uh, my father is, uh, uh, uh, as stuff on, uh, H, HBR. Uh,
|
|
it's because of him that I am here right now. No, so obviously he's, uh, he's snickered on this
|
|
place then. I know people, uh, I think it's just, can fallon, I think, like, I have my real name on
|
|
this. It, it's my real name. I used my real name for my thing. I haven't got a cool nickname yet.
|
|
Not like all the cool kids. Um, I have my real name too. Oh, cool. For my additional, uh, uh, uh,
|
|
yeah. I know what she P E F, you know, everyone would just call me PJ, which they do already.
|
|
Like, uh, I have some weird, I have some weird nickname. Yeah, no, they're just too weird.
|
|
Let's continue talking about the thing we were talking before because the weird, weird,
|
|
weird nicknames, uh, we're, we're, we're, they're just PJ. Yeah, both thing on the side of
|
|
the internet. Yeah. So I've, I've got the space and I, uh, I, I usually play and create it. Um,
|
|
but, but basically it's a, I, I built in the side of the mountain and I made a nice
|
|
mine thing with logs. I think the old red retro style, you know, with the logs and the planks
|
|
and the cobble. I think it, it's really, it can really be brought back into the mainstream. You know,
|
|
it's people don't use it anymore. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's now all about concrete and, uh, uh,
|
|
the thing I like, uh, I, I mostly play one version because it has a bug in it that I, I use,
|
|
I like it very much and it's got the bug fixed by the next version. So I stick to one version.
|
|
So, um, one point eight point nine is a version I stay on. All my new self works. One point eight point
|
|
nine. Yeah. Wow. Wow. I'm just, so have you even played one point thirteen? I'm not played
|
|
past eight point, uh, no one point eleven. One point eleven. Wow. The newest versions are played
|
|
ever. So you haven't even met parrots. Uh, I looked at the different videos for intros for all
|
|
the new versions. Yeah. The videos in Minecraft, uh, give us, wow, to introduce different things.
|
|
I think it was bitten and not really playing. I started playing. I made an obsidian
|
|
shacked in creative to protect from the creepers in one point twelve and the game has changed so
|
|
much since then that the village, which I called home, which I spammed with villagers has just,
|
|
it completely broke or no villager had had to trade anymore. The villagers were revamped so,
|
|
so I couldn't live in a village anymore, but I still did and yeah, uh, yeah, and there was river.
|
|
It was a crazy world. I tried all the best stuff to protect my villagers and the one
|
|
rendering trader I once captured. Yeah. You haven't even met one rendering traders yet.
|
|
Really, the, you, you should try one point sixteen point four or one point seventeen when it comes out
|
|
that that will be, uh, it's, it's gonna be the summit. It's gonna be a long wait, but it's,
|
|
it's from what we have already. It's enough to fill a small update. Yeah. I'm, I'm a kind of
|
|
more into old games kind of stuff. Yeah. I would be, I have a little young to know that I'm really
|
|
into getting and trying to get some friends to play with me, but it's taking forever to get
|
|
the people to play with me. Well, what's this called? No, no. Oops. I said something and then I
|
|
said something and I forgot to kind of point down something. So sorry. I'm not totally in here.
|
|
I'm like you jumping, ruffling in my head, not ruffling in my zang. I don't, I, uh, okay.
|
|
Because you asked the question. So I understand that I start ruffling in my head.
|
|
Yeah, and that's, that's how, that's how I ruffle. It's professional ruffling.
|
|
And you pointed out I'm ruffling in my head and I didn't get what you before you pointed out.
|
|
Yeah, sorry. And so I'm still talking about Minecraft as my old game. It's the newest game I have,
|
|
I've played, but it's the old version is kind of, for you, it's the old game because you never
|
|
played the version. Yeah. It's, it's, it's, it's, yeah. I know to get people to, I have some friends
|
|
that said that they wanted to join my server and it each year is getting worse than those to join
|
|
the old server. You said 1.8, right? Yeah, one, well, 1.8. That's right before the, um, 1.8.9.
|
|
That's right before the 1.9 update. And I was a massive update. The people, the people from,
|
|
um, the, how do you call it? The UHC people and stuff. All the people who like the old combat,
|
|
are still playing that version, I think. Yeah. Yeah. You're one of those people like the old
|
|
combat with the, with the, with this, with the like right click sword where you can kind of
|
|
block stuff. Yeah. That, that, that is the version. Spam clicking. You know, they're trying to bring
|
|
spam clicking back. No, but I also played for that, I played for our bug. If you, um, if you want to
|
|
travel fast, uh, legally travel fast without cheat, uh, you're kind of trying not to cheat, but
|
|
you can then right click on the minecart and you can go very fast through the land in minecart.
|
|
It is a bug that I really get really hooked into and I have a whole world that you can take one
|
|
second to travel like a thousand blocks in a second. Wow. That's even better than
|
|
Enderpole Stasis, Stasis Chamber. Yeah. So it's kind of fourth, last slow stuff.
|
|
You know, there is another way, it's, it's definitely not as fast as such a bug, but you can, uh,
|
|
fly. I don't know. You can go pretty fast. There's a tunnel design. You can use up to four blocks,
|
|
each on your click. So if you have a cheat click on, you get it in 10 seconds.
|
|
That's what I talk about, but I'm not acting, doesn't click fast enough.
|
|
Uh, okay. Well, but I then have full control. I can, each click, I come there fast,
|
|
there I will want to go, and if I want to click too much, then to click back, then I'll
|
|
want to step off. That's, that's pretty cool. Yeah. And the new, the new version after it,
|
|
instead of you, each time you click, you get right 10 to 20 seconds before you can click again.
|
|
That's annoying. Yeah. So annoying. I was hating it so much. I used, okay, nope. I used
|
|
to go back and now I have four words in that version. And each time I try something new,
|
|
the bug I hate is fixed and I hate it. Yeah. A very specific bug fix kind of.
|
|
Yeah, I don't think it's something a Mojang would allow back into the game, unless they could
|
|
make it where if you had spent literal hours doing some, like, or weeks or years or whatever,
|
|
like playing the, um, the server that it's like, that's like, rarer than the right to be able to
|
|
do such a thing. By the way, no, it's going rare. It goes as fast as, uh, it goes faster and normal
|
|
flight indicator. That's pretty fast. Yeah. Does it go as fast as that, uh, one by one to know
|
|
where you, where you crouch in and you have depth strider, uh, soul speed three, um, uh, speed two,
|
|
and, um, and, uh, dolphins grace. What does that make you very fast? It's given by dolphins.
|
|
Oh, so it's around the 20% extra speed or does it even more? And I don't know if, well, if you
|
|
definitely, um, there are so much really bug out if you, it's kind of buggy thing, but you have to
|
|
do when swimming because, um, dolphins, am I right? Um, but if you get a lot of them, you can really
|
|
build up some speed. But if you, um, so basically, yeah, yeah, but if, um, someone has designed a
|
|
tunnel, which was supposed to be patched, but it isn't, um, which is an incredible, fast way to
|
|
move around Minecraft. Um, and I, I saw this design. It's very easy. Um, yeah. And, um,
|
|
dead. I was just, yeah. It's not fun to watch games, but it's fun to talk about games, like,
|
|
yeah. You know, you know, I do enjoy watching games. I don't know, and it doesn't, uh,
|
|
enjoy watching games so much, but I enjoy talking games like you do right now. Yeah, it's
|
|
definitely, it's definitely enjoyable. Um, yeah. But I don't know in the indie, but I like
|
|
that kind of introduction. I'm not sure if it could indeed talk around the game like this.
|
|
Well, we talk about, although there's not no character kind of sound like that. Yeah,
|
|
uh, the indie is basically talking about, uh, an imaginary world. Um, but then it's a bit like
|
|
playing Minecraft, but, uh, with other people with like, um, with, uh, but then, uh, the villagers
|
|
were actually competent people and, um, uh, and, uh, instead of having a keyboard, you just, uh,
|
|
talked to, uh, to, to do stuff. Yeah. So not before you can talk yourself through Minecraft,
|
|
it's your Minecraft version. You're like, yeah, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I am looking forward for the
|
|
new version because, uh, they are adding infinite lava sources. Have you seen that infinite lava
|
|
sources better than the never? You know, I think if you get yourself a good, um, what do they call
|
|
it an IDK, an integrated, like, you know, a software environment for building code. I think
|
|
you'd get so into that because my brother plays Minecraft and, um, I have another brother,
|
|
actually much older and he used to be into electronics and building, um, amplifiers for his electric
|
|
guitar. And I was in the next room painting, toy soldiers for, uh, uh, uh, game, you know, like a
|
|
warhammer game and we were both using the same skills, fine motor skills and tiny work and now
|
|
paying attention to detail. Only he ended up like knowing electronics and I just had a lot of
|
|
toy soldiers, but it's the same kind of thing. So I think if you get a good code, if you get into
|
|
coding, like, uh, constructing, putting pieces of, uh, computer code together with an IDK,
|
|
as they call it or an IDE, it's like a game. If you're excited about infinite lava,
|
|
you can get it excited about, uh, easily constructing, um, graphical applications or radio
|
|
applications or something, just, just an idea. No, I tried to get into that point. I tried to get
|
|
into it, but I kind of, kind of, uh, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I enjoy other stuff more like history
|
|
on biology. And it's clearly for the fact that one thing is killing another thing,
|
|
albeit a creature or a massive army doesn't matter. Yes. Yes. And it's fascinating the way
|
|
how they kill it. So on the way you can learn about the programming is killing some,
|
|
something killing something off. Yeah. So if you really get to learn it, your daddy doesn't have any
|
|
computer luck because you start killing them off. You're very quiet. Are you, you can see, I'm writing
|
|
a simulation about biology and having those creatures each other. If you are interested in theology
|
|
and want to learn some coding, can you repeat that? Oh, I'm a terrible connection. No, I was just
|
|
thinking you are interested in biology and want to learn a big coding, compiling that are some
|
|
sorts of biology. Oh, yeah, yeah, that, that's actually very cool. I, um, yeah, it's probably very
|
|
hard, but, uh, I had a look at some of them and that's, that's very cool. Like, having an actual
|
|
simulation, I saw this thing once and there's this guy, this crazy guy and he decides to just,
|
|
hey, let's go build a world and evolve all the creatures from scratch and he did that. He just,
|
|
he, he didn't know how to make the world. So he grabbed a friend and told him to make the world
|
|
and then he did and then he could just two body plans and suddenly you have a, a, a, a, a, a,
|
|
a, a, a, a, a, a, a, an eight armed given, an eight armed given swinging from the tree tops,
|
|
trying to catch flying, uh, slow creatures with tentacles. It really, no, I'm not making this up.
|
|
He actually made a series on the, on YouTube and it's, yeah, I showed it to mom and that and
|
|
they were like, this is secret biology. They are trying to force you into learning biology
|
|
and I just didn't care because it was so interested. It, it's really interesting.
|
|
There are quite a few video games where you can, uh, set off your organism, aren't there?
|
|
And it will, yeah. Spore is one of them. I used to play a lot of spore when I was in a
|
|
lawn one of the schools which basically shut you off from the outside world because they thought
|
|
it would help. It's didn't but they thought it might. Um, they also gave everyone laptops because
|
|
why, why, why not give a whole bunch of, uh, crazy autistic kids laptops. Um, yeah, obvious
|
|
things happen. No one, no one was learning anything but we were all playing spore. Well, at least
|
|
I was playing spore. My friends were also playing spore. Um, sounds like learning to me. Yeah.
|
|
So it's called a multiplayer game. No, uh, all single player games next to each other. Oh,
|
|
so you were looking at each other. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We were in conversation about
|
|
the games we were playing and sometimes we were playing different games and then I was like,
|
|
I want to play the game. They are playing because I'm not playing that game and then we would have
|
|
the same conversation about two different games which would just be confusing and that would
|
|
be less boring than going outside and doing something. Literally, that was the most boring
|
|
place in the earth. They didn't have anything. It was just a car park on the
|
|
meath so you couldn't do anything over there. It was bored. Have I mentioned nipples boring?
|
|
Me? Couple of times. No, you need to walk a little bit about your boring, uh, school life.
|
|
Yeah. Yeah. I have had a weird school life. I, I, I, I started out at a terrible school. So my
|
|
parents said, okay, you're not going out that school. You have to move right away. We can't wait
|
|
for the other school to open which will hopefully be the right school. So I had to go to one school
|
|
which was a very nice school but it was on their my level. So I, so yeah, I, I had to leave
|
|
after half a year. So you were too smart for them? No, they needed extra help. They were like a
|
|
special, special, like, uh, like for dyslexia helping with that or something else. Um, yeah.
|
|
Yeah. Yeah. You have two high IQ for the normal. I wouldn't say IQ but I was, um, I was in a class
|
|
which was, uh, two high function. I was in the next class. I, um, you basically have like, uh,
|
|
like classes which come from one to eight. I wasn't class six with the class seven. So, and, um,
|
|
then after that year, I went to the Elon school where they, um, it was basically, uh, they tried
|
|
their best. They tried their best but they ultimately failed at being a, being a good school.
|
|
If you don't, I went to that school, yeah. Um, no, what do you called it?
|
|
Elon, that was their name. Yeah. Um, it was especially for a smart autistic kids. Yet they didn't
|
|
understand the smart and the statistic. Apparently, well, some teachers did,
|
|
yet some other staff members didn't and it was together with another school in the same building
|
|
and it was very, it's very weird. I spent some time in a special educational needs school.
|
|
I was, uh, what they call a dinner lady, but I studied education before that I came to teach.
|
|
And it is quite, you know, there's, every, everybody's different. Where they're, you know,
|
|
I don't need to talk about it. Yeah, it's just like, so, was you working or did you, was your
|
|
patient? Heh, heh, heh. And funny, you should say that because, like, no, this is true. I don't
|
|
know if you need to get into it. So, yeah, I trained to teach, um, but then I finished my,
|
|
I didn't complete my teacher training because I was suspended from my university, um, but never
|
|
mind. Like, um, I mean, my course was suspended, but we don't need to. So then later in my life,
|
|
I got a job as a, what we call a dinner lady, a lunchtime supervisory assistant. So I was looking
|
|
after the children having their dinner, you know, uh, in a special educational needs school. What,
|
|
for autistic people, they would call it back then. This was, uh, 20 years ago. Um, but whilst I was
|
|
there, I was taken into a room by an aromatherapist who used to attend the school. And she said to me,
|
|
she told me, she said, you are high functioning autistic. And I had this conversation with that,
|
|
no, I'm a dinner lady. And I don't think I'm a dinner lady, you know, I applied for a job at
|
|
the job centre and they sent me here kind of a thing. So it was, it was quite bizarre, but yes,
|
|
she was telling me how I was high functioning autistic. I don't know where she got the idea from
|
|
or who she was talking to, but they, they terminated my job there. Right. And then another member of
|
|
the school asked me back to teach English to one of the students there. So, you know, life is interesting.
|
|
Yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah, I, I'm definitely high functioning autistic. Um, yeah, but there is
|
|
solution on problems with the kids there was, um, basically shot them off from the outside world,
|
|
let them have no social contact. Um, give them all laptops that will certainly cure everything. Um,
|
|
and, um, yeah, every, there will be one teacher per class. And, uh, yeah, there's only going to be
|
|
one capable teacher in the school because, uh, all the, all the kids trust that teacher, but not
|
|
the other teachers. That's what happened. Also, there are, uh, children are not allowed to take
|
|
responsibility for the actions. That's a, it's a big no-no, and no one's going to question why,
|
|
because autistic people can't do that, even though that's my frequently most asked question,
|
|
that that was their stance on autism. So, yeah, got out of there, and then I went to the
|
|
school where I'm now, and it's pretty good school. So, it's not meant for autistic people.
|
|
The school I'm at now? No. Yeah. No, it's a, uh, I've been in and out of, uh, the whole thing.
|
|
My mom found out that I need to be a statistic, and she got me into a school back and forth.
|
|
So, no, the whole horrible system, uh, um, around 20 years ago. It's probably much better now.
|
|
I hope. Yeah, they try. They, it's not, I think, uh, it, it, it works for some people. It
|
|
doesn't work for other people. It just, it didn't work for me. It's your home functioning. It's
|
|
horrible. Uh, it was, this school was meant for high functioning autistic kids. Yeah. So,
|
|
I was going, it was meant for high functioning, but it, it, it, it, it was given cake each day.
|
|
Yeah. It, it, it, my mom, when I hated it, it cannot stop nagging them about all the different
|
|
things we're doing wrong. And the only thing I, but saying all the different, my teacher was doing
|
|
wrong. It was me. Yeah. Yeah. It's not going. Yeah. School, like, I don't understand why they had
|
|
that it's clear that the, the students are smart enough to understand that if there are no
|
|
consequences for the actions, they can just throw stuff at the teacher and they won't be given
|
|
a punishment, which happened. It actually happened. There's part of the learning curve, isn't it?
|
|
If you, if that happened in public, then there would definitely be a lot of comeback. So,
|
|
but it's hard classroom because it, you know, one action brings another action and maybe the
|
|
person wants to keep their job and it's difficult. No, this wasn't, this was, uh, this was, uh,
|
|
this was just, uh, stupid kid, um, throwing in my house. Good morning and happy new year. Good
|
|
morning. So, how you used to go to your new year, right? No, don't. I'm guessing maybe Tony went to
|
|
the batten or, oh, yeah. Not, not to show how all the time sounds looks. So, for me, I know he was
|
|
on time something that you've got a new year. Right. And he vanishes.
|
|
But, yeah. I, uh, he, yeah, literally, uh, someone threw a stool at the teacher wounding the
|
|
teacher and no one did anything about it. So, we got out of there and we never turned back.
|
|
Luckily, my friends also got out of there. So, everything's fine. Yeah. That's happening
|
|
high school for me. Someone else throwing something on the teacher and teacher didn't do anything.
|
|
That's weird. No, no, this kid definitely got sent to like the, like, the, uh, I don't know,
|
|
the person in charge of the school. Yeah, the person in charge of the school did nothing. He
|
|
didn't do anything. And, um, can anyone hear me? Yeah, they can hear you. It's not time to hear
|
|
except it's not very loud. No, but he's not the most quiet one of all you guys have been here today.
|
|
And definitely not the quietest. It's just not the loudest.
|
|
Not the loudest. I'm happy about that. Yeah. Because we're the loudest one now.
|
|
I don't know what's going on. Oh, that's weird. I'm going to message you.
|
|
I'm going to message him saying we can hear you.
|
|
So, no, all of the people that pull over the talk has said the game.
|
|
So, I guess if you want to stop people throwing stalls around,
|
|
there is more than one way to go about it.
|
|
Yeah. And, uh, if you want, yeah. Then again, I've been to some good schools,
|
|
like actual, a good school. So good that the head, the mistress left to go, um,
|
|
to go to the pension and they renamed the street thingy after her.
|
|
She was so good. That was, that was pretty good.
|
|
Tony connected, but nobody's talking.
|
|
You know, I think I'm going to leave at what would be, for me, 10, which is in four minutes.
|
|
Yeah, going to get some to eat.
|
|
Yeah, probably going to stop whaffling, maybe.
|
|
Enjoy your day, Patrick. Yeah. You guys too?
|
|
Hopefully, I'll see you guys. Of course, I'll tell you a good bye to you, but you're doing it.
|
|
Oh, no, I was just going to get something to drink.
|
|
I thought you were going for your food.
|
|
You were talking about your food and you left.
|
|
And I thought, okay, I need to find someone to talk to.
|
|
Yeah, no, this side, I didn't go to the food.
|
|
I, uh, yeah.
|
|
And that bus, when you get home, he's, I was kind of yelling out,
|
|
I don't want to hear any kind of trying to get people to talk when you left.
|
|
And then it was, when you went to the radio and talked to talk,
|
|
all people talk. It was important to have anything here.
|
|
Yeah, I've been just here, sitting here, whaffling for hours and hours and hours.
|
|
And no, and a few people have been whaffling with me.
|
|
It's, it's, it's being you, K, K, D, G, um, one of spoons.
|
|
Zero, nine, is it an L, well, one?
|
|
I think it's now, isn't it now?
|
|
Is, is that a big eye?
|
|
Yeah, a big eye, maybe, um, uh, then, um, that was mass.
|
|
Don't forget mass.
|
|
That's a big eye is the same letter in my text.
|
|
That's true.
|
|
I think he said oh nine L or somebody earlier.
|
|
I think I would guess.
|
|
Oh, oh nine L.
|
|
Yeah, I, I, I would guess now too.
|
|
Yeah, and, um, yeah, and, um, of course, mass, mass was there too.
|
|
Yeah, that's about the people we've been talking a lot when I was on.
|
|
Yeah, most of us talking very little, and I'm being on.
|
|
And I've been, you have been talking very long.
|
|
I'm being on.
|
|
Yeah, because most people have just been talking to me.
|
|
And because I, and I've been honing down my caps lock continuously for the last,
|
|
for the last, well, hour or something, just because you have to talk on,
|
|
but you should, you could, you should switch it to content,
|
|
and I don't feel like it, and I don't know how.
|
|
So, yeah, you don't feel like it, but, yeah,
|
|
and I, as long as you've been talking, you probably,
|
|
yeah, I've been, I've been talking, we've been talking about a lot.
|
|
Like, I'm going to go now, but we, we started, like, when I started,
|
|
it was midnight.
|
|
So, eight hours ago, on eight, nine hours.
|
|
Ten hours ago for me.
|
|
It's been ten hours, little less, because I've also been outside,
|
|
and that kind of stuff.
|
|
No, you didn't talk ten hours ago, because,
|
|
didn't talk ten hours ago, but I did listen in ten hours ago.
|
|
It's being like eight hours.
|
|
I think, and then I don't, probably.
|
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
|
|
It's been like eight hours more, like,
|
|
yeah, more eight hours.
|
|
I'm going to go last five hours, six hours,
|
|
and it's really, really talking.
|
|
Bishamon.
|
|
Bye.
|
|
Bye.
|
|
Have a good dinner, or,
|
|
by the first hour, whatever you want to call it.
|
|
Good morning, Snack.
|
|
Good morning.
|
|
But, and, is it a happy new year or something?
|
|
It's ten o'clock, whatever.
|
|
Well, bye.
|
|
Bye.
|
|
Hopefully 2021 will not be a 2020 or worse.
|
|
See you in a, at the end of the year, in a game.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Bye.
|
|
Bye.
|
|
So one of the spoons.
|
|
Hello.
|
|
I'm still old.
|
|
Yeah, I can still have you.
|
|
I wanted to just, kind of, if I doesn't talk on,
|
|
I'm so tired.
|
|
If I don't talk, I, doesn't talk.
|
|
and I just cannot stay on.
|
|
Don't worry about it.
|
|
I've got a lot of things to do.
|
|
I'll switch between headphones.
|
|
I'll just pop in when it's interesting.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
No, I kind of, because you've been most on, I thought,
|
|
OK, I'm going to poke the beer that's been most active
|
|
the last four hours.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
All right, thanks.
|
|
Thank you.
|
|
No.
|
|
Oh, I see, apart from Padley.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Because he's in living and I need to poke the next beer
|
|
that's been most active and that's you.
|
|
You, you doesn't think I've been active,
|
|
but I always look for the second one if one lives,
|
|
because I cannot be a member and having a quiet time.
|
|
What, what, what else are you doing?
|
|
I'm thinking this might be idea of activity
|
|
for being half asleep and lying down or something.
|
|
I sit in my chair and having a member
|
|
full screen on my computer.
|
|
I got you.
|
|
So I was trying to read other things,
|
|
but it's quite, I'm not accustomed to people talking,
|
|
usually, will involve myself in that conversation, you know?
|
|
But if I want to concentrate on electronics
|
|
or sorting my house out, then I can't be,
|
|
I need something to get into.
|
|
And a conversation is to, it requires too much attention
|
|
and concentration.
|
|
Yeah, I cannot deduce a member
|
|
and something else I have hard time doing multitasking.
|
|
If I don't talk at all, then I can halfway do it.
|
|
But if I, doing to poke in above the hair under,
|
|
that doesn't work for me.
|
|
I cannot multitask like that.
|
|
Some people in here can do it.
|
|
I cannot do it.
|
|
And I, sounds like you do have problem doing it.
|
|
It depends on the activity, you know?
|
|
Like, there's some things, if you're gardening,
|
|
if you're washing, washing up for something,
|
|
talking kind of, sound like it.
|
|
Yeah, I can't eat and talk, it's bad.
|
|
No, no.
|
|
But I can listen in and then stop talking.
|
|
It's in written and then say,
|
|
I will do it and then start eating again.
|
|
Right, I think also if you're all doing the same thing,
|
|
then you can talk about that and do it.
|
|
Or if you have some activity which doesn't require,
|
|
you know, you're just packing stuff.
|
|
It's always the same.
|
|
You could, you could join in a conversation.
|
|
So work, I listen to a podcast and it's quite complicated.
|
|
But if I'm just cleaning something, sweeping, you know?
|
|
Then it's, it's no bother at all.
|
|
I can do my job very well,
|
|
but also get a lot of good information.
|
|
There's no way I could do a complicated task
|
|
and listen to a podcast.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Kind of, are you one of a programmer?
|
|
You sound like that,
|
|
that you kind of,
|
|
bragging on on the DA thing.
|
|
Did you say programming and my programmer?
|
|
Yeah, I did well.
|
|
So you started like,
|
|
you want to kind of get the dragon on it and programming.
|
|
Dragon?
|
|
Pundragon.
|
|
Dragon.
|
|
Probably better his name.
|
|
You probably pronounced it right.
|
|
It because he said it, part of it.
|
|
It said, it's Irish, but it's also Niederland.
|
|
Yeah, yeah.
|
|
Patrick, English people would say Patrick.
|
|
They soften the day, I think, in Ireland.
|
|
And maybe, well, I can't say for sure.
|
|
I would have said Patrick.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
And he says because,
|
|
and read it Norwegian and then pronounce it Norwegian.
|
|
And that's why I bet you all the names.
|
|
Each time I need to read something I've not read before.
|
|
I always picture them in Norwegian.
|
|
Do English.
|
|
I sometimes try to English them.
|
|
And they got used horrible,
|
|
because not my language,
|
|
I not try to English them.
|
|
So I do my own language that doesn't,
|
|
I make word that does not exist anywhere.
|
|
Of course.
|
|
I think it's okay if you're using, you know,
|
|
parts of words in that language.
|
|
So if you're using parts of English words,
|
|
then you'll be understood.
|
|
It's just a function of language generally.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
It's the moment I need to pronounce something
|
|
that I know what is in my language,
|
|
but I try to English them without a translation.
|
|
And I need to write it out in this text box.
|
|
I'm very happy about this text box.
|
|
Without it, I'll probably be very stuck sometimes.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I've been learning Russian for a few years.
|
|
And I have a Russian parent,
|
|
like a teacher now.
|
|
She's my friend of mine.
|
|
And that helps a lot.
|
|
But yes, to have say Google translates
|
|
with speech, you know, say that word,
|
|
it helps a lot.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
So guess where my good English is from?
|
|
What do you mean?
|
|
How did you learn it over somewhere?
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I don't know.
|
|
Have you heard about application called member?
|
|
Yes.
|
|
So did you just listen to people?
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
That's interesting.
|
|
So my whole English,
|
|
how to pronounce the thing is from member?
|
|
Ah, but did you learn the language from somewhere else?
|
|
I guess, because I would need a lot of pictures
|
|
to learn any words.
|
|
Yeah, I have that.
|
|
I have, again, this...
