Food Idioms! - Duration: 5:09.

Hello E-Speller friends!

I hope you aren't too hungry.

If you are, maybe you should

get a snack or something

before you watch this,

because today,

we are talking about food idioms!

Yum!

Let's start with the first one.

We have "a piece of cake".

This means - this is used

to describe something

that is very easy.

For example,

I thought the history test

would be hard,

but it was a piece of cake.

Or you can say,

teaching you to drive

will be a piece of cake,

because you're such a great student

and listener.

Next we have "easy as pie".

This also is used

to describe something that is easy.

For example, I can say,

the math test was easy as pie.

You probably guessed

that this means "easy".

Or I can say,

driving is easy as pie...now.

But it wasn't when I was learning to drive.

But it's easier now.

I don't know why we use baking

to talk about things that are easy.

I think it must be because

cake and pie are easy to eat,

because they're SOOOO delicious, right?

But they're not easy to make.

Well, cake's not

- it's not too difficult to make,

but pie is difficult to make.

And next we have

"go BANANAS"!

You guessed it!

This means "to go crazy".

You can just go crazy randomly

or you can go crazy for something.

So I can say,

when I get home from work,

my kids go bananas!

They're so excited to see me

that they go crazy.

Or I can say,

I go bananas for chocolate!

I see chocolate, and I just go crazy!

Or she goes bananas for dumplings.

Mmm...dumplings!

What's next?

Bring home the bacon.

This means "to earn money".

In the old days,

it was much more difficult to afford meat,

so it was a sign of wealth

if someone could bring home meat

for their family to eat

so it showed that they made a lot of money

So now it means "to earn money".

I can say,

I bring home the bacon for my family.

Next we have "bigger fish to fry".

I'm frying smaller fish.

Oh look, there are bigger fish!

I'll fry those instead.

No, it's not literal,

like all of these idioms.

It means "to have more important things to do".

For example,

I'm sorry I can't help you move this weekend.

I have bigger fish to fry.

I've got better things to do

or more important things.

I can also say,

I can't volunteer today.

I have bigger fish to fry.

But be careful how you use this idiom.

Be careful who - be careful with

1. who you say it to and

2. how you say it

- the tone you use,

because it might sound like

you're being mean to the person.

Like "Sorry I can't help you move.

I've got bigger fish to fry."

Like I've got things

that are more important than you.

So it can be rude.

And lastly, we have,

"like two peas in a pod".

This is used to describe

two people who are very similar

or identical.

For example,

I can say,

my sister and I are like two peas in a pod.

We like the same music,

the same movies, the same food,

the same clothes,

we pretty much look the same.

We're almost like the same person.

We're like two peas in a pod.

You can also use it to describe friends,

or siblings, especially twins.

So those are some food idioms.

Again, I hope I didn't make you too hungry.

And remember to share this with your friends

and some food with them too.

And tell me, what is your favourite food idiom?

I look forward to reading

about your favourite food idioms.

See you next time!

When Governor Challenged Trump's Position On Arming Teachers – T - Duration: 2:43.

When

Governor Challenged Trump�s Position On Arming Teachers � Trump Hits Back With The

Hammer Of Truth

Trump hosted governors from around the country at the White House Monday, during which he

had a tense exchange with Washington Governor Jay Inslee.

The president made opening remarks then opened the floor to questions from the governors.

Many of the questions and conversations revolved around the national conversation on school

shootings.

Trump has proposed arming up to 20 percent of the nation�s teachers.

When Inslee described gun control measures he has implemented in his state and then directly

questioned Trump�s proposal for arming teachers.

Trump corrected the governor bluntly, saying he is proposing arming �a small portion�

of teachers and condemning gun free school zones.

Trump said:

Arming a small portion that are very gun adept.

That truly know how to handle them.

I do feel it�s very important that gun free Zones.

You have a gun free zone, it�s like an invitation for the sick people to go there.

I think there has to be some form of major retaliation if they are able to mentor of

school and if that happens you are not going to have any problems because they won�t

go into the school.

It would just be a very small group of people that are very gun adept.

The governor responded, saying he has heard from teachers and law enforcement who do not

want to arm teachers.

�I have listened to law enforcement who have said they don�t want to have to train

teachers as law enforcement agencies.

I think this is a circumstance where we need to listen to educators and they should not

be foisted upon this responsibility of packing heat.�

Governor Jay Inslee ended his remarks saying �I suggest we need a little less tweeting,

a little more listening and let�s just take that off the table and move forward.�

President Trump said �Thank you very much,� before calling on Texas governor Greg Abbott

to explain why his state allows teachers to conceal carry.

Writing Subtext in Dialogue - Duration: 14:44.

Here's a fact of life: People don't always say exactly what they mean.

We might say "I'm fine," when we really mean "I'm having a crappy day, but I don't

want to burden you with that."

We use euphemisms to soften the blow when we fire someone or break up with someone.

Communication often involves this kind of subtext, a term Gotham Writers defines as

"the meaning beneath the dialogue; what the speaker really means, even though he's

not saying it directly."

In fiction, not every conversation needs a second layer of meaning, but if you ever get

feedback that your dialogue feels unnatural or too on the nose, it likely relates to a

lack of subtext.

The remedy to this can be found in the words of Janet Burroway:

"…if you're aware as you're writing that both characters have their own desires and

conflicting emotions, if you allow them to reveal some of their feelings and hide others,

they will become authentic and believable."

Now, let's look at specific ways to create nuanced conversations between characters.

A contradiction between a character's words and body language can provide a glimpse into

hidden thoughts.

A liar might say, "I dunno," but the way she licks her dry lips suggests she knows

more than she's letting on.

Flirting also entails nonverbal cues and dropping hints to see if another person reciprocates

our feelings.

We might stand a little closer or invite someone over to our house as a way of expressing

romantic interest.

We can see body language subtext in action in the historical drama Gone with the Wind

by Margaret Mitchell.

This scene features the story's two main characters: the flirtatious Scarlett O'Hara

and the charming Rhett Butler.

Rhett has just given Scarlett a new bonnet as a gift.

Right before they exchange dialogue, there's a passage describing Scarlett's internal musings.

She notices Rhett staring at her lips, and she assumes he's going to try and kiss her.

She debates about whether or not she wants him to, but ultimately decides she'll allow

it because it would be exciting and entertaining for him to fall in love with her.

Here's the dialogue that follows: But he made no move to kiss her.

She gave him a sidelong glance from under her lashes and murmured encouragingly.

"So you always get paid, do you?

And what do you expect to get from me?"

"That remains to be seen."

"Well, if you think I'll marry you to pay for the bonnet, I won't," she said

daringly and gave her head a saucy flirt that set the plume to bobbing.

His white teeth gleamed under his little mustache.

"Madam, you flatter yourself.

I do not want to marry you or anyone else.

I am not a marrying man."

"Indeed!" she cried, taken aback and now determined that he should take some liberty.

"I don't even intend to kiss you, either."

"Then why is your mouth all pursed up in that ridiculous way?"

"Oh!" she cried as she caught a glimpse of herself and saw that her red lips were

indeed in the proper pose for a kiss.

"Oh!" she cried again, losing her temper and stamping her foot.

"You are the horridest man I have ever seen and I don't care if I never

lay eyes on you again!"

The subtext here for Scarlett is "Kiss me," and she's trying to trick Rhett into it,

but he sees through her charade and calls her out on her body language.

The subtext of his dialogue is "I know you're trying to manipulate me."

Scarlett's last line is obviously overdramatic and untrue.

She's frustrated about having been found out, so she says something she doesn't actually mean.

Her words, her actions, and even her thoughts are at odds with one another.

Sometimes, seemingly trivial reactions can mask a deeper, secondary emotion.

A sister could refuse to let her brother borrow her car because she says he'll wreck it,

but in reality, she's mad because he wants to use it to take her best friend out on a date.

So, the character's reaction to a smaller issue is actually about a larger problem.

F. Scott Fitzgerald achieves this type of subtext in The Great Gatsby, when Daisy visits

Gatsby's mansion and sees his collection of expensive shirts:

He took out a pile of shirts and began throwing them, one by one, before us, shirts of sheer

linen and thick silk and fine flannel, which lost their folds as they fell and covered

the table in many-colored disarray.

While we admired he brought more and the soft rich heap mounted higher—shirts with stripes

and scrolls and plaids in coral and apple-green and lavender and faint orange, with monograms

of Indian blue.

Suddenly, with a strained sound, Daisy bent her head into the shirts and began to cry stormily.

"They're such beautiful shirts," she sobbed, her voice muffled in the thick folds.

"It makes me sad because I've never seen such—such beautiful shirts before."

Daisy's tears have more to do with her and Gatsby's relationship than his clothes.

She's lamenting lost love and opportunity.

She says, "They're such beautiful shirts," when she really means, "I'm heartbroken

because now that we can finally be together without any class barriers, we can't, because

I'm already married."

This scene shows up again and again in articles that discuss subtext—and the reason it's

such a memorable moment is because there's a second conversation hidden beneath

the surface-level dialogue.

Some people might sugarcoat the truth to play by the rules of social etiquette.

If your friend asks what you think of her mom, it's more acceptable to say she's

kind of "eccentric" or "unique" rather than "weird" or "crazy."

We often skirt the truth to avoid hurting our loved one's feelings, such as when we

ask our spouses if they liked our novel, and they say, "It was good!

I mean, great."

Fiction writers can learn a lot about conveying subtext through words alone from stage plays.

Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman provides a model for how characters beat around the bush.

The salesman is Willy, and in this scene, he's trying to ask his young boss, Howard,

if he can stop traveling for work: WILLY: Well, tell you the truth, Howard.

I've come to the decision that I'd rather not travel anymore.

HOWARD: Not travel!

Well, what'll you do?

WILLY: Remember, Christmas time, when you had the party here?

You said you'd try to think of some spot for me here in town.

HOWARD: With us?

WILLY: Well, sure.

HOWARD: Oh, yeah, yeah.

I remember.

Well, I couldn't think of anything for you, Willy.

WILLY: I tell ya, Howard.

The kids are all grown up, y'know.

I don't need much anymore.

If I could take home—well, sixty-five dollars a week, I could swing it.

HOWARD: Yeah, but Willy, see I— WILLY: I tell ya why.

Howard.

Speaking frankly and between the two of us, y'know—I'm just a little tired.

HOWARD: Oh, I could understand that, Willy.

But you're a road man, Willy, and we do a road business.

We've only got a half-dozen salesmen on the floor here.

WILLY: God knows, Howard.

I never asked a favor of any man.

But I was with the firm when your father used to carry you in here in his arms.

HOWARD: I know that, Willy, but— WILLY: Your father came to me the day you

were born and asked me what I thought of the name of Howard, may he rest in peace.

HOWARD: I appreciate that, Willy, but there just is no spot here for you.

If I had a spot I'd slam you right in, but I just don't have a single solitary spot.

The subtext of Willy's dialogue is a desperate plea: "I want an office job, and you should

pity me because I've been here a long time and I knew your father."

Howard's replies, meanwhile, are all variations of "no," with the implication that Willy

isn't good enough of an employee for a non-traveling position.

The characters clash because they have conflicting motivations.

They interrupt, avoid giving direct answers, and overuse each other's names in an attempt

at politeness, creating a strong subtext.

In interrogation scenes and arguments between lovers, it's common to see implied accusations.

If a police officer asks you, "What were you doing last Saturday, huh?", you can

be pretty sure they're insinuating you were somehow involved in the crime.

This type of implied accusation is used in Harlan Coben's thriller novel Tell No One.

The first-person narrator, Dr. David Beck, is taken in for questioning about his wife's murder.

His interrogators are special agents Nick Carlson and Tom Stone.

Carlson and Stone exchanged a quick glance.

"The name Sarah Goodhart has surfaced in connection with an ongoing investigation," Carlson said.

"What investigation?" I asked.

"We'd rather not say."

"I don't understand.

How am I connected into this?"

Carlson let loose a sigh, taking his time on the exhale.

He looked over at his rotund partner and suddenly all smiles were gone.

"Am I asking a complicated question here, Tom?"

"No, Nick, I don't think so."

"Me neither."

Carlson turned his eyes back at me.

"Maybe you object to the form of the question, Doc.

That it?"

The literal version of the conversation might go:

"Stop lying.

You obviously know something about this case."

The protagonist catches on to their accusatory attitude and tries to further evade their questions.

This leads to greater tension, as the reader wonders if the interrogators will arrest the

narrator as a suspect in his wife's murder.

Most of us have been on the receiving end of passive aggressiveness or sarcasm.

A mother might guilt trip her rebellious teenager by saying, "Go ahead. Ignore me.

It's not like I spent 12 hours in labor with you or anything."

Ernest Hemingway's short story "Hills Like White Elephants" drips with

passive-aggressive dialogue.

A couple sits outside a building at a train station in Spain, having drinks.

The elephant in the room is the fact that the girl is pregnant, and her lover wants

her to get an abortion during a time when it is very much illegal, and she's not sure

what she wants to do —yet the word "abortion" is not used once in the story.

We can feel the crackling tension between the couple even when they're making idle

conversation about the scenery: "They look like white elephants," she said.

"I've never seen one," the man drank his beer.

"No, you wouldn't have."

"I might have," the man said.

"Just because you say I wouldn't have doesn't prove anything."

They both seem to be overreacting to a simple comment, hinting at a deeper issue between them.

The girl's frustration isn't really about her lover failing to acknowledge her white

elephants comment but about a larger problem in their relationship: he no longer shows

affection toward her, now that she's pregnant.

As their conversation goes on, we get the sense that she feels their relationship is

doomed, even if she does get an abortion: "But if I do it, then it will be nice again

if I say things are like white elephants, and you'll like it?"

In real life, we rely on this type of subtext to broach difficult conversations.

Here, the white elephants are a vehicle the characters use to indirectly discuss their

relationship problems, without having to face the pain of confronting hard questions directly.

Hemingway is known for his minimalistic style, and you probably noticed that this story reads

more like a stage play or a screenplay.

His style adheres to his Iceberg Theory of writing, also known as the theory of omission.

He once stated: "If a writer of prose knows enough about

what he is writing about he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer

is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the

writer had stated them.

The dignity of movement of an ice-berg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water."

Essentially, this means that sometimes less is more.

Hemingway gives his readers little context, allowing his dialogue to speak for itself,

putting the responsibility of dissecting its meaning into the reader's hands.

Vague references to a "simple operation" enables the author to talk about a taboo subject

like abortion.

Similar types of euphemisms can be used for other touchy topics.

In any given scene, a character might hold back their true emotions to avoid hurting

another person, embarrassing themselves, showing vulnerability, or facing a hard truth.

We rely on subtext when we have something to lose, like our pride, safety, comfort,

or happiness.

However, we might misinterpret someone's intentions and assume they're angry at us

when they're only frustrated at the situation.

We might mine for a subtext that doesn't exist in asking our partners what they meant

when they said nothing was wrong.

We might miscommunicate our own feelings, making someone think we dislike them, when

in fact we're just tired.

Sometimes, we're unaware of our own feelings, yet others can still sense our true emotions

through the words we choose and our nonverbal cues.

That's the beauty of subtext—it creates conflict, which makes for an engaging story.

When characters skirt around a tough conversation, it puts readers on the edge of their seats

with anticipation as they wait for the truth to bubble to the surface.

We itch to know how the exchange will play out and what consequences the characters will face.

During a first draft, it's okay to have placeholders that state the characters'

direct meaning.

But when you go back to revise highly emotional scenes, try to have the characters convey

their thoughts without explicitly stating them.

Your readers will pick up on the subtext and be more engaged as a result—you're giving

the audience a puzzle to solve and adding realism.

As a writing exercise, imagine a conversation between two characters.

Determine their initial relationship—are they a married couple, a boss and an employee,

a suspect and an interrogator?

Then, have them argue about something.

You can identify the literal feelings you want to convey first, before thinking about

how the character would actually present this information, given the social norms or their

relationship with the other character.

Imply those feelings through dialogue and actions.

For instance, a character's literal meaning might be "I'm pissed off because you didn't

let me buy a labradoodle, and you claim that owning a dog would be 'too expensive,'

but you're a hypocrite about spending money."

In actual dialogue, that might be translated to "How much was that drone toy thing you

never use?

Two grand?

You're always buying useless crap."

Think about how the characters want to present themselves.

What reaction are they trying to evoke or avoid from the other person?

Is this conversation actually about something else they're not openly discussing?

Let tension arise from miscommunication.

What are your favorite examples of subtext in dialogue?

I'd love to hear them in the comments.

Whatever you do, keep writing. <3

Weird Things Everyone Just Ignores About Kelly Clarkson's Marriage - Duration: 4:57.

Kelly Clarkson is one of the most successful recording artists to emerge from the world

of American Idol, releasing hit after hit since she won the first season back in 2002.

Her other half, music manager Brandon Blackstock, is also at the top of his career, but while

these two seem smitten, that doesn't mean there aren't some quirks in their relationship.

Here are some things you may not know about Clarkson and Blackstock's marriage.

Taken

Clarkson and Blackstock's meet cute was a very slow burn.

They started dating in 2012, but they first met in 2006 at a rehearsal for the Academy

of Country Music Awards, when Blackstock's father Narvel was Clarkson's manager.

In 2017, Clarkson recalled their first meeting on a SiriusXM show, saying,

"Literally, I'm not joking, he walked past us at that time…

I was like, ready to take it all off.

I just felt something."

But at the time, Blackstock was still married to his first wife.

Clarkson explained,

"[I] ain't that girl.

Honestly, I didn't even talk to him."

Blended

While many blended families struggle to get along, Clarkson thrives in her role as a stepmom

to Savannah and Seth, Blackstock's children with his previous wife.

Clarkson told Ryan Seacrest in 2013,

"We all live together and everything.

It's so different, but it's perfect.

They're awesome, and I actually really dig the mom thing.

We all work really well together, but I'm totally my mom.

My mom was a hard mom.

I'm probably that mom."

The married pair are also parents to daughter River Rose and son Remington.

Date night?

Clarkson and Blackstock are so busy being loving parents and successful collaborators

that it's hard to find time for themselves.

Luckily, James Corden came to the rescue during Clarkson's "Carpool Karaoke" appearance in

2017.

"Do you get to spend a lot of time together outside of work, the two of you?"

"I think it's difficult because obviously, I work a lot and I'm a mom, but we try."

"Is this Intervention?"

Blackstock then showed up, and Corden proceeded to set up a backseat date for the couple.

"Okay, it's a date night the kids aren't here."

"I feel like we're making a porn."

Former mother-in-law

In case you missed this weird connection, for a while there, Reba McEntire was Clarkson's

mother-in-law.

The country music icon was married to Blackstock's father for 26 years, before the two divorced

in 2015.

However, Clarkson and McEntire have remained close since the split, getting together for

family gatherings and continuing to collaborate musically.

Clarkson spoke candidly about their relationship on Watch What Happens Live, revealing that

they text, talk shop, and share videos with the kids.

"She actually texted me at like 7 in the morning at LA time and she knew I was in LA and I

was like what are we doing?'

Manager/husband

Though his father originally worked for Clarkson, Blackstock eventually took over managing his

wife's career, which weirdly enough, did wonders for their marriage.

Clarkson claims it works perfectly because he truly understands every part of her day,

whether she's in a great mood or feeling bummed out.

She told People in 2016,

"At the same time we do have these moments where I'm like, 'Okay, you're managing me

right now.

And he will be like, 'Okay, you're being that really artsy person that's like up and down

right now.'"

While she claims they are, quote, "yin and yang," Clarkson now understands why so many

of her role models married their managers.

She explained,

"With this specific job, it's such a busy job.

It's 24/7, so if I weren't [managed by him], I wouldn't be with him.

So it kind of makes sense.

I think that's why Céline [Dion] did it.

I think that's why Mariah [Carey] did it.

I know a lot of artists do that because it makes sense."

Anniversary fails

Clarkson and Blackstock obviously make a great team, but sometimes their busy schedules conflict

with important moments in their personal lives.

We have forgotten two out of four of our anniversaries.

But the great thing about us is we collectively do it.

It's not like one of us forgets and one of us remembers.

We both epically fail."

In 2017, the couple was completely distracted by the release of Clarkson's holiday hit,

"Christmas Eve."

Clarkson revealed that after wishing her husband a "Happy Christmas song release day" that

morning...

"He was like, 'Or happy anniversary,' I freaked out.

I panicked like I'm the only one who forgot, but he forgot too."

Turns out Blackstock was reminded about the big day by social media posts from fans!

Clarkson shook the whole thing off, saying,

"We're so happy we just forget.

Every day is an anniversary."

This romantic pair may have their share of quirks, but at the end of the day, Clarkson

and Blackstock are total "#relationship-goals."

"Even if someone doesn't like it I'm like well you suck and you have no taste at all."

Just take a peek at the "Love So Soft" singer's Instagram feed and see if you can even handle

all the cuteness!

"You're tryin to make me cry right now, you're tryin to Oprah me, you're tryin to Oprah me!"

Bread Storage Solution ~How I Store My Bread ~ Small Kitchen Organization ~ Noreen's Kitchen - Duration: 8:07.

Hi everyone and welcome back to my kitchen today, we're going to talk about my bread storage solution

I've mentioned before in a couple of videos that I have a specific way that I store bread in my kitchen and

Many of you have asked me throughout the years. How do I store my bread so today?

We're going to address that topic let's go see how this all comes together

This is how we store our bread in our kitchen was over there. We keep it in that corner over there and

After many years of how do we store our bread?

Do we we've tried baskets where we had a basket with the bread in it

We've tried a breadbox, which you know then things get piled on top of the breadbox

And you have to move thing the breadbox isn't big enough and so it took us a long time to figure out

What suited our family best?

so

Because we have an extremely small kitchen

This works for us

we literally went to Walmart and we got the bread that we usually buy and

Thought you know. What are the things that we always have on hand and we put them in the cart

And then we walked over to where the plastic containers are and then we had made a measurement of how much

Space we had

Height wise from the counter to underneath the cabinet, so this is what works for us

We got this big bin, and I'm just gonna set this over here, and I'm gonna show you box by box

What's in each of these things so we have this larger box?

Because we usually when I don't make my own bread and honestly. I don't make my own bread very often because we're super busy and

When it's going to be summertime

I don't make bread at all we buy it so I usually buy this what they call pan bread

It's usually on sale in my area buy one get one free somewhere whether it's Publix or Harris Teeter

And then if Walmart has it if no one has it on sale Walmart has it the cheapest so this will fit in here

Easily and right now. We have a partial. Oh I always have a loaf of rye bread in here and

This will fit in there as well a whole loaf will fit in there as well

Next to the white bread or the wheat bread depending on what we purchased right now

There's some rice cakes in here because my girls had them

And then we almost always have these brioche buns whether I get them from Aldi

Or from Walmart, and we love them

And they're great for sandwiches or burgers or what have you and then we have like a random one so at any given time?

There's white bread rye bread rolls there could be Italian bread in here

But if you work it like a puzzle. It will all fit properly and thing will get squished now

the middle box

We keep sometimes like today for example I have a package of hot dog buns a package of hamburger buns

And you might think these look like if they were a little smashed, but they're really not these are not smashed

We just put the lid on it and it you know it took the form of the the lid

But sometimes we'll fill this with granola bars or nut bars energy bars snacks that the girls can come and grab

You know those yogurt bars and stuff so it depends at any given time. What's in here right now?

We don't have any snack bars on hand and we're planning to have

Burgers and hotdogs at some point for dinner a couple of nights this week

So we thought the a good example would be to show you the hamburger buns

And the hotdog buns you can easily store homemade breads in here

You just need to make sure that they're wrapped tightly in plastic and then putting them in the plastic

Containers keeps them fresher longer, and it inhibits molding as well now

I have this additional bin

which

Because we probably don't need three bins for bread

But this is what I use it for this is for overflow spice jars

I have a jar of taco seasoning in here

This is my homemade taco seasoning, and then I have an open partial open bag of pasta shells

so if I have

open pasta like if I have open macaroni or

Something maybe I opened a bag of orzo or a bag of pasta that we cooked for lunch

And we only use half it will go in this bin

That way when I want to make some then I'll check this bin first

And I'll see oh I haven't opened something and I'll go ahead and I'll use that first

But this you know this is up to you you want that third, bin you go for it. I figure there's always

It's always a good idea to have extra storage space and if you're going to have this under your kitchen cabinet anyway

Use up the space that you have the linear space is going to be

Really a very welcome thing so why not use the space you have measure out

find the bins that you like I happen to like I happen to like these bins the best because I like the

Configuration I like that the handles snap-on and the lid it's easy in and out

but it's a

Space with these feelings for you exactly maybe

You only room for two of these larger bins or maybe only a room for a large bin and a skinny bin?

Maybe the skinny bin doesn't work for you at all

We're working with what we got and that's what you have to do to so that is how we store our bread?

And when I make homemade bread I wrap it in a bread bag

And I just slice it up first

Because you have to slice the bread first after its cooled otherwise

people will come behind you and try and slice it and if they

They they will mess up your bread

I'm just saying so just wrap it in a plastic bag or in plastic wrap stick it in the bin boom you're done

I don't know about you, but when I make homemade bread. It doesn't last very long anyway, so

you know that's just how it goes, but this is how we store our bread in our kitchen and

For any of you folks out there who have cats

Now you know we do not condone our cats getting on the counter where we always have to chase them off

but when you have cats sometimes they have a mind of their own and

And if you harden if you're sleeping the cats will decide what they're going to do

one of the main reasons that we have our bread and containers like this is because

cats for some reason find bread bags and bread irresistible

And they will chew through a bag of bread and it will upset you and it will make you mad

So this alleviates that entire problem as well plus it keeps your bread a little bit fresher

But that is our bread storage solution. I hope this gives you an idea

I hope it you know these are helpful tips and tricks because this is what works for us

They might not work for you

It might not be something that fits into your life or into your kitchen or into your space

But it works for us, and it doesn't look bad it keeps things neat and tidy it keeps your bread fresh

And I just wanted to pass this along so if you enjoyed it. I hope you give it a try

I hope this inspires you to maybe see what you can do and we're into your life

And maybe it's helpful from that end so I hope you enjoyed today's video

Popeyes® | Cookies & Cream Crunch Pie Made with Oreo® Review! ⚜🍪 - Duration: 4:44.

peep this out guys it's Ian K back again with another one for ya this time

headed back into popeye's to check out their latest dessert treat featuring

most everyone's favorite cookie that's right it's the new cookies and cream

crunch pie made with Oreo and it looks pretty fantastic so let's scoop one up

through that drive-thru yeah peep this out can I get that new cookies and cream

crunch pie made with Oreo and that's it beautiful thanks it's never too early in

the day for dessert is it naaaah thank you my friend alright we'll see

ya alright guys let's peep this out

we've got another challenger for the fast food dessert throne coming from

Popeyes guys feast your eyes on the all new cookies-and-cream crunch pie made

with Oreo and I'm already digging the chunks of Oreo that are in the middle of

this it looks really really inviting already if not legit because of the name

brand I've been using here guys but very very nice presentation what we've got is

that Oreo cookie crust that you guys see on the very bottom a nice whipped middle in

there with chunks of Oreo cookies and then in the very top we've got some

chocolate drizzle and some more crushed pieces of Oreo as well but for a little

under 2 bucks that is not a bad value the size is fairly decent for what you

get and again it is that name-brand quality that I'm expecting because it's

the Oreo name but let's give this one a shot guys it's the all-new cookies and

cream crunch pie made with Oreo here at Popeye's let's peep out this flavor

yes sir definitely diggin the size of those Oreo cookie pieces on the inside

let's dive in it's the cookies and cream crunch pie made with Oreos here at

Popeye's hmm and definitely creamy it is wow that is very thick it's almost got

the consistency of a cheesecake guys very similar to the one from BK actually

but a lot richer and flavor Wow very very strong flavor on this one very much

liking the hints of cookies and cream for sure mmm yeah this is definitely

reminding me more of cheesecake than it is cookies and cream but the flavor is

really really nice and very very rich you know it actually tastes like a cross

between cheesecake and ice cream with a very dense filling and the Oreo cookies

play extremely well with it the flavor is very strong and a light drizzle on

the very top at the very end of it really comes up nicely as well yeah I

really like the light drizzle on this because you can really taste it at the

very end it's a nice little complement to the overall chocolatey flavor in

general and I guess with this being cookies and cream I guess it's a little

redundant because Oreos technically are cookies and cream I mean you have the

cream filling and then the cookies it pretty much is the same but I'm liking

the fact that it's real Oreo cookies and you can taste chunks of them it's not

just a little bit's in the very top it's chunks in the middle and they're pretty

sizable mmm really good I'm telling you if you were a blind folded right now you'd

be hard-pressed to tell me this wasn't cheesecake because it really does taste

like that I guess it keeps the consistency because it's not ice cream

and being that it is kind of warm outside right now it's still holding its

composure and I like that because it's still holding its own along with the

thickness one more quick shot of this one guys the Oreo crust lights this one up

pretty nicely and if you guys are fans of Oreos in general you have a lot to

look forward to with this one there is plenty of Oreo flavor and nice chunks

have been in the middle overall a very solid dessert that really gets the job

done and the price is definitely right for what you get here and hey and it's

actually got some pretty slick packaging to go with what's overall a pretty tasty

dessert but what do you guys think do you think there's all new cookies and

cream crunch pie made with Oreo delivers the goods over here at Popeyes cuz I can

tell you from a price standpoint aside from the flavor it absolutely does cuz

the price does seem pretty right to me but what do you guys think drop those

comments down below and definitely let me know and as for the overall score I'm

gonna have to give the all-new cookies and cream crunch pie made with Oreo here

at Popeyes or rock-solid 9 out of 10 the only way that I can see to make this one

better is to charge maybe a dollar more and beef up the size but like I said

what you do get over all does deliver and the quality of what you're getting

definitely delivers guys get a lot of nice Oreo flavor on this one with a

pseudo Cheesecake like consistency and plenty of Oreo chunks in the middle and

if you guys are Oreo aficionados like I am you already know this is gonna be

something you're gonna want to try I'd highly recommend you do and those are my

thoughts on the latest dessert treat over here at Popeye's as we close out

another episode of peep this out guys and like I always say I've got brand new

content every single week here on my channel so while you stay tuned for that

next review coming real soon in the meantime stay frosty alright so who

actually has the license to make a full-on Oreo pie a lot of these places

say pie made with Oreo but they don't actually say Oreo pie if you guys

actually know the answer to that drop that comment down below I am very

curious to know but in the meantime I'll definitely settle for what they try and

come out with even if it doesn't have the quote-unquote official name of Oreo

pie alright guys until next time I'll talk to you soon

こんにちは!! (Kon'nichiwa!!)

Today we are going to react to NCT U 'Baby Don't stop'

And this song is with Taeyong and Ten

I'm excited Ten is my bias we have the same birthday

It's our birthday today

I feel connected to him let's start

Okay... let's start! One~ Two~ Three!!

Eli: OMG! Ten! Beba: Calm down Eli: Girl! I--

There's a part I'm anticipating that I saw on Twitter

I was GIF

You have to stop being on Twitter

Oh my god!

Did you see--

They're so synchronized

Thank god they're not wearing those tees anymore because

I was about to lose it

Did you see that?

Ten looks so handsoem with that haircut

No

No!

Beba: I saw almost all the teasers for this song Eli: I saw them all

On top of that I saw a spoiler on Twitter

Well not really because it was a GIF but

I don't know what am I going to do on that part

I'm not ready

Whenever it comes out you'll understand

How can they be so~

Synchronized

They really are

I missed Ten so much for real

This is the part

Beba: Calm down Eli: No x100

Beba: Relax Eli: I can't

This is--

I can't get over it

Can we watch it again

We can watch it again after we finish this video

Because I have always heard him rapping but on one of his parts

When he sang that really surprised me

I was going to talk about that but I just stayed quiet and listened to him and

And then there's Ten who's my bias

They were synchronized the song was amazing

Voyage Planning By The Navigating Officer - Duration: 23:16.

This video is going to examine one of the key tasks on the ship voyage

planning by the navigating officer a good voyage plan with all the

information including information needed in emergencies is the only basis for a

safe voyage poor voyage planning may not always result in an accident but it puts

the watch keeping officer in a weak position if things start to go wrong and

inevitably they will one day as well as reducing accidents and improving safety

regulation 34 of so last chapter five requires all ships to have a voyage plan

before proceeding to see the information it gives freeze the watch keeping

officer from spending time on reference books and tables it will ensure that the

officer is fully aware of the Masters requirements the plan must cover the

entire voyage from birth to birth it must be completed well before departure

and must be approved by the master if the voyage plan is your responsibility

you need to be aware that doing it properly takes time the first step is to

check that all the necessary charts and publications are up-to-date and that no

change has taken place to the scheduled destination next there must be a

discussion with the master to take into account all the commercial requirements

of the voyage and of any changes to the schedule destinations the Masters

experience will enable him to suggest a route pointing out potential hazards

one issue to discuss with the master is whether routing even if the ship does

not use a weather routing service it's always worth allowing for the weather if

the shortest route is likely to take you into storms consider a route going

around them avoiding storms and storm damage may be cheaper and safer and

possibly quicker in the long run the next stage is to collect all the

information you will require this includes suitable charts of as large a

scale as needed the appropriate pilot books routing charts and ocean voyage

planning manuals port information for the start and end of the voyage other

essentials are tide tables the list of lights radio signals information and

weather information further items required include any relevant notices to

Mariners and navigational warnings as well as the ship's characteristics

including the draft and the manoeuvring data there may be additional information

such as local charts onboard another resource is personal experience if you

don't know a voyage or a port yourself it may well be known by one or more of

the deck officers from previous ships or voyages ask around find out what they

know voyage planning using an electronic chart display an information system and

ectis requires exactly the same information the process of appraisal

planning execution and monitoring still applies only the methods have

changed some of the information required may be available in the actus itself if

vector charts are being used but if raster charts are used then exactly the

same reference books will be needed as for paper charts a voyage plan may

include both vector and raster charts the vector mode of an actus is based on

a multi-layered fully digitized chart layers of the display can be adjusted to

suit operational or planning requirements the symbols used are

different to those on paper charts these charts have no edges they are seamless

the raster mode of operation is based on digitized photographs of standard

already existing nautical charts so they are not seamless it is a single level

basis for navigation it contains no more and no less information than the paper

chart and so the symbols used will be very familiar both raster and vector

modes rely on electronic position fixing systems such as the GPS to give the

ships position and projected course with both it's possible to superimpose other

data such as ARPA or radar both systems can be used for voyage planning

whichever system is used the first step as with paper charts is the preliminary

discussion with the master achieve 12 knots of speed rebus which is

possible no problems also always start with a clear paper chart check that the

charts have been updated with the latest Corrections a small notebook is

essential to record key information about the voyage such as alter course

positions however it is done all the other deck officers must be able to

understand the plan as well you must always be consistent the plan

must be clear and the notes easy to read

the objective is for the plan to help other watch keepers not to give them an

additional problem in deciphering it

the first thing marked on the chart are the no-go areas land Shoals wrecks and

so on

then mark off all areas where your draft is more than the depth on the chart the

approaches to many ports involve passages where tidal calculations are

crucial where possible don't rely on the tide let it be a safety bonus

the track is then drawn in critical areas the margins of safety should be

marked on both sides of the track how large they should be will depend on the

ship's size the area itself as well as your personal preference

perhaps your company or your captain has an established minimum distance from a

danger area the plan track should always be plotted to clear hazards at a safe

distance voyage planning with a vector chart on ectis is more like using a

database on a computer as on a paper chart it's very easy to align the plan

track precisely to any leading light marks or sectors but it's not just a

matter of creating a series of waypoints and lines each Waypoint

needs to contain the necessary information relating to the autopilot

systems such as radius of turn and plan speed and track limits if you need to

use boys as marks be sure to use a safe distance off so the ship doesn't run

over them many ships will use simple distances such as one mile so it's worth

using unusual distances off marks to avoid other ships who are using simple

distances in their auto pilots on raster charts the creation of no-go areas is

very similar to the processing paper chart voyage planning whatever method is

being used always prepare for the unexpected what would happen if there

was an engine failure at the critical moment in the voyage what information

would you want immediately if you were on watch at that mo

when paper charts are being used all the essential elements of the plan must be

listed in the notebook to amplify and support the track on the chart items in

the notebook should include the safe speed positions where changes in

machinery status are needed manpower requirements course alteration positions

points where reports to Shore stations are required minimum depth clearances

were critical and plans for reaching safe water in an emergency the tidal

stream must be marked on the paper chart if the time of the voyage changes the

track may stay the same but some data such as the title information will need

to be changed with electronic voyage planning the information that would be

in the notebook is stored as Mariners notes on the chart itself or in a pilot

data file as part of the voyage plan different systems use different ways to

achieve this but the same information is needed a means of verifying the position

of all changes in course must be marked on the chart when deep sea GPS is an

efficient method of position fixing inshore other means must be used to

check the position at least as a secondary method at night lights can

provide a useful source of fixes and bearing information all relevant

navigational marks should be indicated on the chart as part of the plan there's

often not the time to look them up while under way

on large-scale charts we louver bearings should be found that a parallel to the

new course that way even if the ship is to the left or right of the intended

track it will come around onto the correct course it is important in

planning a voyage to specify how the position of the ship should be fixed and

how often most watchkeeping officers will have developed their own rule of

thumb for timings but this is inadequate for a reliable plan the time between

fixes must be such that it's impossible for the ship to get into danger between

fixes

well offshore this might mean once every few hours closer ensure the position of

the ship is more critical and fixes must be more frequent it is essential for the

ship's position to be ascertained by cross-checking the results of different

fixing methods radar and visual fixing both have their advantages and

disadvantages knowing when to use which as primary or secondary fixing methods

is part of a watch keepers skill a thorough voyage plan will indicate which

method should be used during different sectors of the voyage the chart should

be marked with a useful number of visual and radar conspicuous objects these can

be derived from the chart itself the pilot books or from the Mariners

personal experience it's important to put in only a small number of these

points don't cover the chart with dozens of radar conspicuous objects that the

officer will not have time to use what is needed is the right number keeping in

mind the closeness to land and the speed of the ship the timing and method of

position fixing is equally important in an electronic voyage plan

the Mariners notes or pilot data file should include the position of both

visible and radar visible objects an electronic voyage plan will have a

reliance on satellite navigation systems gps and glonass at present but in the

future Galileo as well in confined waters an alternative system must be

used for checking the position and this can easily be done using the radar maps

and radar interlay of the ectis checks of the position by radar or using

leading lights or sectors are of vital importance close inshore as there's

always the risk that GPS will become unavailable for some reason with raster

charts there may be datum irregularities in comparison with the wgs84 datum

the ships speed is another crucial aspect of voyage planning that must not

be left to chance whether the voyage is planned electronically or on paper it is

vital to plan the time of arrival how does it fit in with the tides the pilot

services or the berth availability the speeds and Waypoint ETA s need to be

marked on the chart and in the voyage planning notebook landfalls also need to

be clearly marked one objective of the voyage plan is to help you and other

watch keepers in using time efficiently there should be no need to look for

information in manuals and books the notebook can be used to detail

instructions that would involve writing on large areas of the chart the chart

and the notebook are both essential elements of the voyage plan a very

powerful method of monitoring the ship's tract during a coastal voyage is

parallel indexing this consists of drawing the track of a fixed radar

conspicuous point on a relative motion radar display it works best when the

radar is stabilized north up the line will be parallel to the ship's ground

track the cross index range of the track is the distance the ship needs to keep

off the point any cross track tendency caused by tidal stream for example will

become apparent by the target moving off the parallel line this plot enables a

constant check of the ships track to be kept

fix's still need to be taken even when parallel indexing is taking place in

poor visibility parallel indexing is invaluable for watch keepers to be

familiar with this technique they must practice it in conditions of good

visibility parallel indexing is equally valuable using electronic chart systems

and the same principle of practicing it in good visibility also applies the

parallel indexing needs to be set up at the planning stage here the line appears

under the course and is offset by the officer of the watch when the ship is

running up to the selected radar visible object on both paper or screen the

voyage must be planned birth to birth even for passages where the ship will be

navigated by a pilot the voyage plan must be discussed with the pilot when he

comes on board so that everyone on the bridge will be aware of the intended

voyage the entire bridge team will then be able to monitor the ship's progress

effectively where the ship is headed into an area of restricted navigation

such as insider harbours the plan should include an abort point this is the last

moment that the ship can turn back for any reason

as the ship runs up to this point all arrangements such as birth and tug

availability must be confirmed with the appropriate authorities once you're

satisfied with the plan it needs to be checked and approved by the master the

principle of double-checking the plan must be part of the breech routine

master may be able to suggest improvements based on his greater

experience this approval of the plan is perhaps the most important part of

voyage planning and will generally be required as part of the ship's safety

management system the Masters approval of the plan is equally important whether

the plan is on paper or done electronically both master and

navigating officer need to allow sufficient time for a thorough

examination of the plan as the plan must be made well before starting the voyage

the departure time may change this may not affect the track but certainly will

affect tides and voyage times the plan will need to be updated when departure

time is known and throughout the voyage as times change

the overall objective of the plan must be to give the watch keeping officers a

plan to follow and sufficient information to enable them to do that

easily the plan will also provide a backup store of facts so that if things

do go wrong there will be information immediately available to help overall it

is essential whether the plan is done on paper or electronically that there is a

complete birth to birth voyage plan for every voyage the voyage plan should be

marked on the chart with supplementary notes in a notebook or as Mariners notes

the chart should have in addition to the tract useful information including

safety margins clearing bearings wheel / positions and tidal streams

the plan must be approved by the master in good time

the plan must be updated as required

whether it is planned using traditional paper charts or an electronic chart

system a good voyage plan must provide the information the watch keeper needs a

good voyage plan is the only foundation for a safe and efficient voyage

Opinion Piece: Monster Hunter World's ENDGAME - Duration: 11:52.

Monster Hunter World is amazing.

This is without question the best Monster Hunter I've played, since I started playing

back in 2011.

As amazing as it is, no game is without its faults of course and Monster Hunter World

is no exception.

There are absolutely some things that can be improved and most importantly, some very

much needed changes, or additions to the endgame, that would transform the grind from being

a job, to something that's a lot more enjoyable.

Once you've reached the point where you're hunting down one Tempered Elder Dragon after

the other, the game starts to turn into a little bit of a slog.

I've maxed out all 19 available Slash Axe Trees, forged all the armor sets and pieces

I wanted, got to Hunter Rank 100 and finished up all optional quests in the game.

So now the only thing I can really do that has any "merit" and in my script, "merit"

is in quotation marks mind you, is to go for the remaining trophies, in my case this is

limited to Crowns, Guild Cards and reaching a total of 50 Arena quests… the point being;

what's left to do isn't really all that exciting.

Most of the issues I have stem from how the multiplayer is set up.

Joining up with hunters, finding rooms, the SOS system, Investigations, Monster Health

Pools and most importantly the gathering hub.

Actually, let's start right there!

Monster Hunter World introduced a new system where up to 16 players can be within the same

online session.

On paper this is a splendid idea, as now several quests can be posted to the board and the

available hunters get to choose which quest they want to accept.

This is never the case though, in over 220 hours I have yet to meet a random person at

the Gathering Hub in Monster Hunter World.

The Gathering Hub is a really nicely crafted place this time around.

It's not really any better or worse than the older games of course, but the fact that

16 players can be all in the same room, with their cats, would be awesome.

Again, this never happens!

Why?

Because A) unless it is a Gathering Hub specific Arena or Challenge Quest, every time you come

back from a quest you will be sent back to the Astera Tradeyard and B) which is mostly

due to 'A', most people will never even go to the Gathering Hub as there's simply

no reason to do so.

You can accept any quest from every single quest board, including that oh so annoying

Handler… seriously, screw those cutscenes, if I had been given the choice to rescue her,

she would've died very early on!

I am getting off track here…

Monster Hunter is a socially driven game at its core and this is one such aspect that

World simply doesn't deliver on.

This is how I think how the gathering hub could be made more attractive and useful.

First up I think some of the online mechanics should be reverted back to the last generation

of Monster Hunter, I am thinking about double cross in particular here.

Limit all online interactions to the gathering hall.

The exception being SOS of course, which I will touch on in an upcoming segment.

Add a correspondent to the gathering hub for all the available jobs in Astera.

By that I mean your farm, bounties, investigations and the Blacksmith.

And of course, automatically return you to the hub after a quest has been completed.

With just these small changes, players will be able to use the same space, creating a

sense of being able to interact with other players and less of a need to run around Astera

over and over just to collect your farmed items, bounties and investigations.

Turning off being online in Astera further enforces this by having to go to the Gathering

Hub, but with the addition of correspondents, to also make this a more attractive option

overall.

This will ultimately result in more time hunting and less time running talking to NPCs.

I am not gonna lie, I really don't like the SOS system.

Once again, on paper this sounds great, but in practice it pretty much kills any sort

of interaction between random players and feeds right back into the lonely online experience

I just outlined in the Gathering Hub section.

So what's the issue?

First up the 10 minute timer, where if you were to join after 10 minutes have already

passed in a quest it would make you ineligible for rewards.

It doesn't really bear any meaning or consequence, as other than Zorah and Xeno, there are hardly

any quests that will usually go past the 10 minute mark anyway.

And even IF they do, it doesn't really matter either, as once you start farming Tempered

Elders, these quests fill up so damn fast at the 0 minute mark, that you really gotta

be on top of your mashing game, to even manage to get into the line up.

In my opinion the best way to handle this would be to disable the SOS feature for Investigations.

Not just tempered ones, but Investigations altogether.

That sounds anti-hunter you might think, but by its very name, "SOS", meaning a distress

signal indicates that this is a feature to carry people that are in need of help.

Investigations stand in stark contrast to that, being a place to power farm materials

and or grind Hunter Rank points.

Think back to Monster Hunter 4G where you would make or search out a room that has a

Level 140 Shagaru to find people looking to farm the same monster or in double cross where

you'd make or look for a room farming those dreaded Level 16 Deviants.

These rooms also filled up very quickly, but it was easy to find them, because you wouldn't

end up having to wait for minutes on end, just to be greeted with a "failure to join"

message to then start the process all over again.

Speaking of Investigations, as it stands right now and especially during endgame, there is

little to no reason to even want to join up with random hunters for Investigations, tempered

or not.

Yes I will play with my friends of course, because it's fun, but if they're not online,

I am most likely playing solo, as it's just faster.

I am not talking about how godlike of a Hunter I am, I'm strictly speaking about the logistics

of how the whole system is set up.

On average I can take down a Tempered Vaal Hazak in around 4 to 6 minutes by myself.

With another hunter and I am referring to competent hunters, this time will go up to

about 12 - 13 minutes on average.

A three-man team sits around 10 minutes and a 4-man team averaging 7 - 8 minutes.

The online times here are best case scenarios mind you, as you're now dealing with erratic

and less predictable monster behaviour due to having more targets on screen and the occasional

cart that can always occur under those conditions.

Also keep in mind I am still referring to firing an SOS, where coordinated play is obviously

less than likely.

There's no real reason for the majority of players to even bother shooting up an SOS,

especially if the requirements are rather strict, say something like a 4 to 5 Tempered

reward Investigation with 1 faint, a 15 minute timer, a 2 player limit and a maximum of 3

uses.

Let's face it, you would be borderline insane to send out an SOS in this scenario, as the

chances of failure will shoot up so high now, that it's not worth the risk to even consider

multiplayer.

Soloing in Monster Hunter World is a little too easy and the restrictions on Investigations

when it comes to multiplayer a little too unreasonable.

So here are my suggestions to change Investigations and Tempered Investigations in particular

to encourage Multiplayer: Just make use of the Gathering Hub already.

Disable SOS Investigations altogether

Just make use of the gathering hub already.

Give monsters a general health buff in Solo Play

I know some people are not going to agree with me here, but they really don't have

enough health in Solo Play.

Honestly I wouldn't even mind if Investigations were LOCKED to multiplayer health pools, but

I am sure a lot of people would riot… At the very least, it would encourage more

people going online with their investigations, I know it would for me, rather hogging them

for myself, as at the moment, running them solo will always be the fastest available option

Remove the 2-Player restriction

This one just boggles my mind, why would you want to even further strangle the already

non-existing online-interactivity, especially when a 2-man team is pretty much the "hardest"

available option to choose from… pair that with lower faint allowances and it will most

definitely get soloed! #offline4life

Hand out TEMPERED investigations when you break a TEMPERED monster's parts

Currently the only way to get Tempered Investigations

is by picking up tempered tracks.

Receiving new investigations by breaking monster parts will only net you normal Investigations.

This makes farming new Tempered Elder Investigations a very slow process all around, both on mashing

through the SOS requests as well as getting new ones for yourself.

This is pretty much where I stand and what I think could be done to better and enhance

the multiplayer, which when it comes to the fun factor is most important to me in the

grand scheme of things.

This is a co-op game, there are no real competitive aspects to it, so having fun, should always

at the very top of the list.

BUT there's also the issue of quest rewards, regardless of playing Solo or with other hunters,

so I want to share my issues on that end as well.

The endgame grind almost exclusively revolves around playing the RNG lottery and hoping

that you'll get something you can use.

I am not calling this a lottery just for the sake of it, as this is for all intents and

purposes just a straight up lucky draw.

You have no idea what you'll get and there doesn't seem to be a payout system that

is monster specific either, like it was in Monster Hunter 4 and 4G for example.

"Better" things payout with Tier 3 Tempered monsters, a tier that is exclusive to Elder

Dragons, which limits the endgame to farming a grand total of 5 monsters over and over

and over.

Let's be honest here though, it's 4 monsters really, because who in their right mind is

going to keep fighting Kirin?

This is by far my biggest gripe with the endgame grind, that I can't really fight any other

monsters other than Kirin, Vaal Hazak, Kushala, Teo and Nergigante.

I am specifically looking for the highest grade of Decorations and Hero's Streamstones,

meaning fighting any other monster will significantly decrease my chances, if not outright drop

them to zero, in getting what I want.

I am not really sure if Rarity 8 decorations and Hero's Streamstones can actually drop

from Tier 2 Tempered monsters, but I do know that the chances are significantly higher

at Tier 3.

This really has a huge impact on your willingness to play the game.

I am used to grinding and I am used to being at the mercy of the desire sensor, but there's

only so much I can take, when the payout is completely randomised and you're forced

to fight the same five monsters who knows how often until it drops.

The solution here is simple; promote a few a higher ranking monsters to the same tier

as that of the Elder Dragons in terms of Tempered Investigations.

Bazelgeuse, Blue Leus, the upcoming Eviljoe, Black Diablos and whoever else, just give

them a bit more health, or some other buffs and promote them.

Anything is fine as long as it breaks up the monotony of running the same handful of monsters

ad nauseam.

This is just anti humanity in my opinion.

Just for the record in 220+ hours I have yet to get a Hero's Streamstone: Axe, oh you

know, the only one I actually need.

The drop rate is ludicrously low as it is, but then when one finally drops; it's for

a damn hammer!

A weapon I have no use for...

I have three Hero's Streamstone: Hammer in fact, I am sure there's a Hammer user

out there somewhere with 3 or more Axe ones and has yet to find a hammer one.

It's the most disappointing feeling you can put upon a player, because you're not

earning anything, you're just clocking in hours at the mercy of a very unrewarding RNG

system.

Heaven forbid you really want to go all in, but let's assume you actually do want to

max out your Weapons.

I have 19 Slash Axes, to max out augmentation on all of them I would need 50 Warrior's

Streamstones for the Rarity 6 and 7 Axes, that's 18 for Rarity 6 and 32 for Rarity

7 and I would also need 5 Hero's Streamstones for the Rarity 8 Slash Axes.

So far I have 2 Warrior's Streamstone: Axe…

I know it's sad.

I can offer two solutions to this problem, the first one is simply to add an Elder Melder

option specifically for turning one useless Hero's Streamstone into one you need.

Or if they're feeling that's being a little too nice, make it two for one plus whatever

Zenny or Point amount is required.

The other option is to take away the weapon specificity and just make it Warrior's Streamstones

to augment any weapon class of Rarity 6 and Rarity 7 and Hero's Streamstone to augment,

again, ANY weapon class of Rarity 8.

Seriously, I have nothing else to do in this game, just let me augment my weapons already.

Lastly, I didn't get the chance to duplicate any decorations, so yes, I am still stuck

with that one and only Attack decoration.

This isn't so much an issue of course, but I still feel that most options in acquiring

more and better decorations legitimately, are rather limited and stuck behind RNG walls

just like the Streamstones are.

Just add more options to the Elder Melder, because presently the Gacha System running

on that one, is even worse than just hoping for better Investigation rewards.

Just come one, just give us something.

In case my intro didn't make it obvious, I absolutely love this game, but there are

still some things that do grind my gears.

Let me know in the comments what you think about the current multiplayer aspects, do

you like them as they are, or would you also like to see some changes, or what your take

is on how the endgame is currently playing out, how you're dealing with it and what

changes you would like to see there.

1 simple trick to attract any person you like according to science | animated video - Duration: 2:53.

1 simple trick to attract any person you like according to science

welcome to lifestyle therapy channel, stay tuned.

according to science the most effective way to attract someone is to be funny

i know it may same obvious or weird to some of you but let me show you why

Research has shown the connection between humour and attraction many times.

One study asked 35 volunteers, to rate the Facebook profiles of 100 strangers, 300 students

to fill out a survey on humour and courtship, and then 51 single volunteers to spend 10

minutes, chatting to a partner they'd never met, and rate how attractive they were.

The conclusion was if men made more effort to be funny, and they got more laughter in

response, they had better chances of romance.

Another study looked at how males and females differ in how they value their partner's humour.

The researchers asked 129 students to complete tasks, about how they respond to humour, and

also how they want their humour to be received.

Men emphasised the importance of their partner to laugh at their jokes, whereas women valued

both production and reception of humour equally.

the results of another study of 60 women.

It found that women were three times more likely to give their phone number, to a man

who told the jokes, than one who didn't.

The humorous men were also considered more attractive, intelligent, funny and sociable.

Professor Jeffrey Hall, a communications studies researcher at the University of Kansas, surveyed

the findings of 39 studies of over 15,000 participants to analyse the importance of

humour in relationships.

According to Hall, the fact that people think you're funny, or that you can make a joke

out of anything, is not strongly related to how satisfied you or your partner will be

in a relationship.

What is strongly related to relationship satisfaction however, is the humour couples create together.

Playfulness between partners is crucial to building a lasting relationship, says Hall,

because it creates bonds and establishes security.

So if you want to guess which couples will last the longest, look out for the ones who

are laughing together.
