Hey, Luke Hart here!
I don't know about you, but in my D&D games sometimes it seems like decision making can
take FOREVER.
And the more players you have, the more they'll analyze every option and agonize over which
is the best decision to take.
Now, in one respect, this is a GOOD thing because it means they are engaged with the
game and the story and they want to take the best course of action – the course of action
that leads to success.
However, there reaches a point where enough –
Is enough.
[Jim Bob] Look, we can't just go in the front door.
They'll expect that.
[Alexis] We should sneak in the back!
I have proficiency in thieves' tools!
I can pick the lock!
[Timmy] No, that'll never work.
Clearly there is one good solution here, and that's to go to the War Wizards and they
will teleport us into the guild hall!
[Timmy deliberately wipes slobber from face.]
[Timmy] And that's what we should do.
[Jim Bob] No, no, no!
It will not work!
[Alexis] Look, you guys, you have to trust me on this one.
If we go in through the back, they will never expect it.
It's the most logical thing to do.
[Timmy] I swear, I get so tired of you guys and your really dumb ideas.
[Jim Bob freaking out.]
Hey!
You!
We can't just – That's insane!
No, that's just not going to work.
[More freaking out.]
[Alexis] Everybody's guarding the front door.
Who's in the back?
Who do you think is in the back?
I'll tell you who's in the back: the kitchen!
The kitchen's in the back, and inside the kitchen are the cooks.
And the cooks are not armed.
What do they have, cleavers?
Are they really going to attack us with cleavers?
No!
[Timmy] This is the stupidest thing in the world.
No, you're going to blow everything up with lockpicking, Alexis.
And, Jim Bob, you're a moron!
Go through the front door?
You guys are idiots!
The best thing to do is to use magic to get in there.
We go to the war wizards over there, and they can teleport us in there, lickedie split.
[DM] So….what do you want to do then?
[Jim Bob] No!
This is not going to work!
[freaking out] [Timmy] Remember that time you tried to pick
a lock on something?
It was on a chest.
And you know what happened to the chest?
It blew up!
So clearly that's not a good idea.
[Alexis] You don't have to worry about that.
I'm telling you, if we go into the back, I will pick the lock, and everything will
be okay.
Why won't you listen to me?
[Timmy] No, we're not going into the front door either, that's just dumb.
[Alexis] Don't talk over me!
Listen to me when I'm talking to you!
[Jim Bob] Oooooohhhhh!
Is that enough B-roll yet?
[DM, dumbfounded, staring alternatingly at players.]
I mean, at some point, the DM has to step in right?
Because if he doesn't, the players can go on like this for a long time.
A really long time!
I once watched a game session here on YouTube where the players literally spent – and
I mean literally in the literal definition of literally, not the figurative definition
of literally – whatever that is.
The players literally spent two hours discussing among themselves if they were going to make
a deal with the bad guy or fight him.
And here's the thing, only two or three of the eight players were actually engaged
in the conversation.
The other 6 or so were quiet almost the entire two hours.
And I imagine the dialogue in their heads was something like, "Gee I wish we could
do anything – anything at all! – besides sit here talking about this."
My mind was blown away by this, so I posted a comment along the lines of, "Hey DM, why
didn't you step in and do something to speed things along?"
His response?
[odd voice] "That's just part of the game."
(This is my dumbfounded look.
Like it?)
I don't know.
That just doesn't cut it for me.
I maintain that a DM should not allow decision making to dominate table time.
There are too many other parts of the game that are much more fun to let decision making
unnecessarily eat up your table time.
There reaches a point – and you'll know it when it happens – that a decision – any
decision – needs to be made in order to move the game forward.
And you'll know when you're there.
It might be five minutes.
It might be fifteen minutes.
It might be a half hour.
But when you get there, it's time to do something to move the game forward.
So, this is what I do in my games when I feel the players have discussed their options enough
and a course of action needs to be decided upon.
Players in favor of option A roll d12s [dice clattering] and you add the them up.
Players in favor of option B roll d12s [dice clattering] and you add them up.
Finally players who want option C roll.
[die clattering] Whichever group gets the highest total wins,
and the entire party takes that course of action.
This method gives weight to the majority, but also provides the chance that the minority
will get their way.
It's not a perfect method -- But it sure beats sitting at a table for two
hours discussing what you should do next.
(another classic dumbfounded face – I'm good at these)
If you liked this video, and you want to support more of them, consider checking out my adventure
"Prisoners of the Drow" over on DriveThruRPG.
Link in description.
It's pay what you want, so you can toss me a buck or two if you'd like.
No big deal.
I've also begun work on the sequel to that adventure, "Into the City of Spiders"
where the PCs need to infiltrate a drow stronghold in a drow city.
I don't have a definite timeline for that, but hopefully I should have it done soon-ish.
So stay tuned!
Anyway, let me know in the comments how YOU handle players talking forever to make decisions.
Also, please let me know if there are specific topics you'd like to see me cover in the
future.
Until next time…
Let's play D&D! [catchy music :D ]

【MUKBANG】 8 Malaysian Cup Noodles Review!! [MAMEE Chef, Maggi Hot Cup, Super Cup] 2653kcal[Use CC] - Duration: 12:01.
Hello! This is Kinoshita Yuka! (0 effort Garbage subs by ~Aphexx~)
Today is
I would like to eat instant noodles I bought in Malaysia!
By the way, this is what I am wearing today!
Nyukyokoba ...
Nyonyo ...
This is a costume called NYONYA KEBAYA
Some say it's like wearing jewelry
That's just how beautiful the costume is
You see, it's pretty, so cute
Malaysian food,
I thought that I would definitely eat it wearing Malaysian costume as well
And I've got some more as well
This is also something from Melaka
They call it beads sandal but
It seems to be called Nyonha sandals as well
Just check them out
The decoration of this bead is really fine and it is really beautiful!
I bought it as a set with this
My feet get so sore right away
Something seems to go wrong when I wear these
Perhaps it's the awkward way I walk around
When I was wearing such a thing
Even when we are things like kimono and such
I have to move according to it
for reals I am always awkward AF and not elegant
It looks very tasty
It's amazing fun to eat instant noodles from overseas
itadakimasu
It looks all tasty
I will eat it from the other end
Is the first one here, "Mommy"?
I think it's called chef
These are all quite well known Makers of ramen in Malaysia
It says right here that it's a curry laksa flavored
Curry laksa
It is the taste of laksa
Oh!
I have a fork
Cool!
With noodles
soup
Toppings
And some sort of paste
in this laksa there is some sort of Fried tofu curd as well
Soup, if you look like it was divided into two
Two soups
Oh, this is white
Coconut milk
When I ate laksa before
They really made these nicely
It is amazing!
Curry powder and perhaps coconut milk powder,
Perhaps I think that this will be added at the end
How much water do I add
And I will wait
Open
It is like this
Oh, something like coconut milk and curry
Mixes together Getting such a good smell
Such legit ingredients
I guess it might not be good, but
For reals instant noodle cups
If you eat one by one
I it's way too hot so I'll add some ice
Oh! !
It's not babyonya
Nyayakubaya ~
Let's clean it later
What did I tell you I'm awkward AF and such a clutz
I just can't help it
I go and wreck such nice clothes like this
Let's Be careful
Yes, it looks like this!
I will put this pasty stuff in here
I wonder how it taste
Oh, a bit hot
A bit spicy
It looks a little red pepper
However, it's not overly spicy
Oh, it's painful
hehehehe
It's rather spicy
It doesn't say that it's spicy But it is rather a spicy
Did I put it in too much?
Maybe I was supposed to only put in a certain amount
, it is like this
WUT DIS?
Well, look here.
A bit of a mysterious cut line
Let's just figure it out after eating
Hehe he
itadakimasu
Well I think chopsticks are good
I'd like to eat it with a fork Since it came packed with a fork
Well, I will try sipping soup first
Mmm!
Ah! Delicious tasty!
It's spicy, but coconut milk
It is a bit mild
it's delicious
I taste like chicken
This is noodle.
Yup! it's delicious!
The toppings are very reminiscent of a laksa
Already!
Toppings are very similar to a laksa
It is not like a completely different taste, is it?
I totally think they could sell this in Japan
It is a taste that it is not strange
Delicious!
It seems to go well with rice
All done
Soup is spicy and rich
But there is sweetness of coconut milk
It was very tasty.
Well then, here
It is the same manufacturer as before
Spicy chicken ... something
Shi ... is it a sea urchin?
I do not know!
It says flavor right here
ahhh I got it
I know what it says
Shiteiku, it is not English
This Shiitake
Drawings of mushrooms on here
Spicy chicken Shiitake mushroom flavor
Oh, that's right!
Shiitake mushrooms, are called shiitake Even in other tongues
~ ~!
I learned something
here in Japan when you see something with shitake in it, they just call it mushroom broth
soup with shiitake mushrooms
You don't often say shiitake soup
Ah ~ Is it the fragrance of shiitake mushrooms?
wait
I think that it is early to eat
I will make another one
Next is "Super Cup" 's crown flavor
Pictures of shrimps are on it
Cup or lid material is
It is different from Japan
It is like this
They are so cute!
I should hold on to these cups
They are so foreign
Soup powder
tempura bits
Put hot water
There is no hot water line in here
So, eat chefs while this is being made
How efficient it is!
It was a bit tough yet
Maybe I was a bit too efficient
What are you talking about instant noodles?
I will eat with chopsticks
After all its so easy to eat chopsticks
Yes! It is like this
Do you see the color of this soup?
It looks so light and fresh
Oh, it is very delicious!
It is the taste of soup of shiitake mushroom soup!
It is quite flavorful
Delicious
Shiitake mushroom soup works well
noodle.
Very simple flavors
Unlike the curry just before, this one is also delicious
Prominent pepper flavor
All done
Back to the one we made a while back
I should have added the soup ahead of time
And put this in there
It's very reminiscent of breaded shrimp
Ah! The soup of shrimp works, it works!
Yup!
It's not as rich as the previous one
But delicious taste is good as well
This is the current mainstream of Malaysia
Japanese instant noodles are very....
I feel as though we don't have that many Made with shrimp stock
Done
So here is the seafood
This is "Super Cup" seafood
Looking at it, written how to make it on the lid
Soup looks like one you add first
This appears to be fake crab
In addition, we are also making this
This is also like laksa
It says Curry on it
It is a comparison between "Mommy" and this "super"
curry soup - like
The hot water has run out, so I will use this T - fal
I've got two of these in my house Including this T-Fal
I am boiling now.
This is how it looks like this
Oh, this already is amazing
I smell the seafood
Oh, it's delicious!
Better taste than before
Malaysian instant noodles are
Although the color of the soup is not that dark but...
I think that the taste is proper
All done
This is Curry flavor
But this time it's a bit different from the earlier Curries
The color of the soup is transparent
Yup!
I feel like curry-flavored soup
All done
So next is mi goreng "Super Cup"
very yakisoba-like... this , Mie goreng
I love , Mie goreng
Seasoning is sweet and tasty
Powdered soup
Paste-like something
Is this like oil?
I wonder if the type where you drain the hot water off it?
I do not know how to make it well
Because there is nothing like a drain
I wonder if it's a type of hot water draining
I'll make it with a bit less water
How are you supposed to drain this
Or maybe I do not have to drain the hot water?
Ah! It was written
it was written.
You're supposed to throw out the water
Although there is no hot water cut out
It seems like holding down the fork and holding down the hot water
I wasn't really that confident I could drain this properly
I cut it with a sieve
soup
Oh, something red soup.
I feel this black one is sweet and I like it
I have not eaten, I do not know yet
And mix
Ah!
it be time to use this other fork
It's so difficult to use this thing
Ahh
Yes, it is like this
Yup!
(ス ズ ズ ズ ズ ズ ズ ズ ッ ツ)
Yup! It's sweet and amazing, it's delicious
There is only a bit of spicy Heat
Next is Maggie's hot cup
You can buy Maggie even in Japan
It seems to be a popular manufacturer in Malaysia
The lid has become torn
When carrying
Toppings and soup
Something like this, Sapuyamu ...
Something something special
This is probably also curry-like
Laksa-like
another one
Curry color
Yup! The smell also curry
It seems quite light
Oh, I feel like the taste of vegetable soup
It tastes gentle
It is a gentle taste soup
It tastes a bit like celery
It was vegetable soup
It's like curry flavor
Yup!
It's a soup with a taste of curry
So this is a little hot
It's got a spicy hit to it
(ス ズ ズ ズ ズ ズ ズ ズ ズ ズ ズ ズ ッ ズ)
Yup! Delicious!
Taking care not to thin out the soup too much With the addition of ice
I am making this with less water
It's too hot, you will not know the taste either
I don't like my suits to be overly hot
Last bite
Last gulp
All done
gochisosamadeshita
Malaysian cup noodles, it was really delicious
Something sort of
its totes something that would totally sell here in Japan
These are flavors that we don't have here
It was awesome.
The one I like the most
I ate so many of these I don't know which one is which
"Mommy Chef" I ate first was delicious awesome!
As I thought, I also like sour soup
I prefer my soups on the T H I C C side
Soup made by mixing this curry and coconut milk powder
Tasted really great
next ... I love Miegoren.
I only had this one mie goreng
But other 'Maggie' was delicious
Everything was very tasty!
Everyone, I think people who live in Malaysia can eat regularly but....
Everyone in other countries
What is the difference with instant noodles in your country?
won't you give them a try
Thank you for watching today too!
I want something I want you to do or if I want something to eat
Please let me know in the comment section etc. if it is good!
Good movie with this video

ANITTA - INDECENTE LIVE REACTION | BRAZILIAN WEEK #2 - Duration: 6:42.
Wow, this is really live?!
Hi there welcome to my channel, my name is Dylan.
Yes, I'm a bit quiet again.
Because it's 4AM again and I'm still jetlagged from my trip to Los Angeles.
People are still sleeping, but tonight I really don't care.
Because Anitta just dropped her new video, LIVE!
On YouTube, which is insane.
I don't really know anyone who has done that before.
But this is my second video in my Brazilian Week, I'm doing 7 different video's in 7 days.
So if you're excited for that, hit that subscribe button and leave some suggestions in the comment
section below which I should check out.
I just cannot wait, so I'm going to start right now.
This is Anitta with Indecente!
I think it's a Spanish song.
But I'm about to find out.
WAIT!
My cat wants to get in.
*LOUD MEOWING*
And I'm sitting here, being all quiet, and my cat is like screaming like crazy.
ssssht!
So I see that the video is an hour long, I don't know if it's like a whole event.
I'm just going to check it out.
So, I'm getting this screen so I think I have to look for the video first.
One moment pleaaseee.
So I found the part of the video where the actual video is in, so I'm about to start
right now.
If you enjoy, hit that like button, hit subscribe if you want to see all of my Brazilian week
video's.
Let's just start.
Look at her!
It's not like this is really live right?
I mean like, live shot.
This is an edit streamed live right?
So I haven't seen a cut yet, so I'm thinking this is really live?
Wow, this is really live?!
That's insane!
I thought she was just going to livestream her music video.
And just release it that way, but she is really doing a live music video.
A bit dark by the way.
This is so cool.
This is like next level sht.
Whaat?!
I love this.
Have you ever seen anything like this?
It's like 4AMand I'm here (Jamming out)
Oh this is so much fun.
I don't know what she's singing.
I love like the glitter sht.
This is like a real party.
This has to be one big production.
Because everyone has the be in the right spot at the right time.
Wow, I was not expecting this, seriously.
This is amazing.
Boca, that's like..
That was your mouth?
Or your face?
I did a guess the Brazilian Expressions video...
There was a lot of boca in it.
I will put it up here somewhere.
That guy is huge.
Of course the Anitta butt has to be shown.
This must have been so fun for her, and so nerve wracking as well at first.
Can I just say that this is some amazing stuff.
I've never seen anything like it.
The only thing I don't like is that whenever you want to watch the video you would have
to scroll through this whole video to find it.
So I hope they will make like a cut version.
So you can watch it immediately.
But that would take away the whole live idea...
If this doesn't get world news or anything, I don't know whats up.
Even Beyoncé hasn't done this..
I just think it's awesome.
I really like the song as well
But I didn't pay that much attention to the song itself.
Because I was really just focussing on what was going on there.
And what was going on live.
The way she reacted and the way she had fun.
That's what made this video like ten times better, I'm so happy for her that this turned
out great.
I don't know if she's happy with it herself, but I do think so.
This is a huge production and a new way of showing your music and showing your creativity.
Like I said in earlier video's.
I think she's going hard and global.
Yeah, I just really enjoyed this and I don't mind waking up for this at 4AM.
At all.
I hope you enjoyed this video.
Tomorrow I'm doing a Pabllo Vittar video for Então Vai.
So if you're excited for that, hit subscribe.
And...
Let me show you my cat.
You probably think it's the worlds ugliest cat.
And it is.
But he's so cute.
It's called a Rex.
He just wants all the attention he can get.
So if you're excited for that hit subscribe and then I'll see you tomorrow.
Bye bye.
*MEOWING CONTINUES*
Bye bye!

Letting the Dice Settle Group Decisions in D&D - DM Tips - Duration: 4:50.
Hey, Luke Hart here!
I don't know about you, but in my D&D games sometimes it seems like decision making can
take FOREVER.
And the more players you have, the more they'll analyze every option and agonize over which
is the best decision to take.
Now, in one respect, this is a GOOD thing because it means they are engaged with the
game and the story and they want to take the best course of action – the course of action
that leads to success.
However, there reaches a point where enough –
Is enough.
[Jim Bob] Look, we can't just go in the front door.
They'll expect that.
[Alexis] We should sneak in the back!
I have proficiency in thieves' tools!
I can pick the lock!
[Timmy] No, that'll never work.
Clearly there is one good solution here, and that's to go to the War Wizards and they
will teleport us into the guild hall!
[Timmy deliberately wipes slobber from face.]
[Timmy] And that's what we should do.
[Jim Bob] No, no, no!
It will not work!
[Alexis] Look, you guys, you have to trust me on this one.
If we go in through the back, they will never expect it.
It's the most logical thing to do.
[Timmy] I swear, I get so tired of you guys and your really dumb ideas.
[Jim Bob freaking out.]
Hey!
You!
We can't just – That's insane!
No, that's just not going to work.
[More freaking out.]
[Alexis] Everybody's guarding the front door.
Who's in the back?
Who do you think is in the back?
I'll tell you who's in the back: the kitchen!
The kitchen's in the back, and inside the kitchen are the cooks.
And the cooks are not armed.
What do they have, cleavers?
Are they really going to attack us with cleavers?
No!
[Timmy] This is the stupidest thing in the world.
No, you're going to blow everything up with lockpicking, Alexis.
And, Jim Bob, you're a moron!
Go through the front door?
You guys are idiots!
The best thing to do is to use magic to get in there.
We go to the war wizards over there, and they can teleport us in there, lickedie split.
[DM] So….what do you want to do then?
[Jim Bob] No!
This is not going to work!
[freaking out] [Timmy] Remember that time you tried to pick
a lock on something?
It was on a chest.
And you know what happened to the chest?
It blew up!
So clearly that's not a good idea.
[Alexis] You don't have to worry about that.
I'm telling you, if we go into the back, I will pick the lock, and everything will
be okay.
Why won't you listen to me?
[Timmy] No, we're not going into the front door either, that's just dumb.
[Alexis] Don't talk over me!
Listen to me when I'm talking to you!
[Jim Bob] Oooooohhhhh!
Is that enough B-roll yet?
[DM, dumbfounded, staring alternatingly at players.]
I mean, at some point, the DM has to step in right?
Because if he doesn't, the players can go on like this for a long time.
A really long time!
I once watched a game session here on YouTube where the players literally spent – and
I mean literally in the literal definition of literally, not the figurative definition
of literally – whatever that is.
The players literally spent two hours discussing among themselves if they were going to make
a deal with the bad guy or fight him.
And here's the thing, only two or three of the eight players were actually engaged
in the conversation.
The other 6 or so were quiet almost the entire two hours.
And I imagine the dialogue in their heads was something like, "Gee I wish we could
do anything – anything at all! – besides sit here talking about this."
My mind was blown away by this, so I posted a comment along the lines of, "Hey DM, why
didn't you step in and do something to speed things along?"
His response?
[odd voice] "That's just part of the game."
(This is my dumbfounded look.
Like it?)
I don't know.
That just doesn't cut it for me.
I maintain that a DM should not allow decision making to dominate table time.
There are too many other parts of the game that are much more fun to let decision making
unnecessarily eat up your table time.
There reaches a point – and you'll know it when it happens – that a decision – any
decision – needs to be made in order to move the game forward.
And you'll know when you're there.
It might be five minutes.
It might be fifteen minutes.
It might be a half hour.
But when you get there, it's time to do something to move the game forward.
So, this is what I do in my games when I feel the players have discussed their options enough
and a course of action needs to be decided upon.
Players in favor of option A roll d12s [dice clattering] and you add the them up.
Players in favor of option B roll d12s [dice clattering] and you add them up.
Finally players who want option C roll.
[die clattering] Whichever group gets the highest total wins,
and the entire party takes that course of action.
This method gives weight to the majority, but also provides the chance that the minority
will get their way.
It's not a perfect method -- But it sure beats sitting at a table for two
hours discussing what you should do next.
(another classic dumbfounded face – I'm good at these)

"Prisoners of the Drow" over on DriveThruRPG.
Link in description.
It's pay what you want, so you can toss me a buck or two if you'd like.
No big deal.
I've also begun work on the sequel to that adventure, "Into the City of Spiders"
where the PCs need to infiltrate a drow stronghold in a drow city.
I don't have a definite timeline for that, but hopefully I should have it done soon-ish.
So stay tuned!
Anyway, let me know in the comments how YOU handle players talking forever to make decisions.
Also, please let me know if there are specific topics you'd like to see me cover in the
future.
Until next time…

Getting Started with Flyway & Version-Based Migration - Duration: 11:44.
Hi, I'm Thorben Janssen from thoughts-on-java.org.
Today, I want to give you a quick introduction to version-based database migration with Flyway.
Updating a database
seems easy as long as you're the only developer on the team
and don't have to support multiple systems.
But that changes dramatically when your team implements multiple features in parallel,
uses different test databases
and runs the application on one or more production servers.
Updating all these databases,
keeping track of all executed update operations
and merging the changes of your co-workers
quickly becomes an issue.
But that doesn't have to be the case.
We already solved these problems for our Java code.
There are several tools, like git, CVS or svn, to version your code,
merge independent or conflicting changes
and store everything in a repository.
So, wouldn't it be a good idea to apply the same approach to your database?
That's the general concept of version-based database migration.
You define multiple versions of your database.
In most cases, it's one database version for each code release.
And then you specify the changes
that need to be applied to migrate your database from one version
to the next.
A typical example for that is the SQL script
you're currently sharing with your co-workers
and which you might execute manually after the deployment.
As you can see, you're doing most of the work already,
even if you don't have an automated,
version-based database migration process.
So, you just need a tool that detects
and applies the required changes.
One of these tools is Liquibase which I explained in one of my previous videos.
I will add the link to it to the description below.
Another one is Flyway which I want to show you now.
Flyway is an open-source tool, licensed under Apache License 2.0,
that helps you implement automated
and version-based database migrations.
It allows you to define the required update operations
in an SQL script
or as Java code.
You can then run the migration from a command line client
or automatically as part of your build process
or integrated into your Java application.
The good thing about this process is that Flyway detects
the required update operations
and executes them.
So, you don't need to know which SQL update statements need to be performed
to update your current database.
You and your co-workers just define the update operations
to migrate the database from one version to the next.
And Flyway detects the current version and performs the necessary update operations
to get the database to the latest version.
To be able to do that,
Flyway uses a metadata table to document the current database version
and all executed updates.
By default, this table is called SCHEMA_VERSION.
OK, enough theory.
Let's implement the first automated database migration with Flyway.
As described earlier, you can use SQL scripts
or Java classes to define your database migration.
In most cases, you should define all migration steps
in an SQL script.
But if you need to implement complex migrations,
For example you read information from a BLOB
and store it in a new set of columns,
you can do that with Java.
Let's stick to the most common approach
and use the following SQL statements to create a small database.
This is a script for a PostgreSQL database
that creates a custom database function,
a book table
and Hibernate's default sequence hibernate_sequence.
Please be aware that SQL scripts are often database-specific.
You, therefore, might need multiple SQL scripts,
if you need to support multiple databases.
I store these SQL statements in a file called
V1__create_database.
The file name follows Flyway's default naming convention:
The letter V followed by the version number,
2 underscores and a short description.
So, this file contains the SQL statements for database version 1
and Flyway will store it with the description "create_database"
in the SCHEMA_VERSION table.
That's all you need to do to define your first database migration.
You now just have to trigger it.
You can integrate Flyway into your application,
or you can run it automatically as part of your build process
or manually from the command line.
In this video, I want to show you the command line client
and the Java integration.
The command line client is easy to use.
You just need to download the latest version from https://flywaydb.org,
And I will add the link to it to the description
and extract the archive to your local file system.
After that, you should find the following files and folders on your hard drive.
In this guide, you just need the 2 selected folders,
conf and sql.
In its default configuration,
Flyway processes all SQL files located in the sql folder.
So, you should put you V1__create_database.sql file there.
And the conf folder contains the flyway.conf configuration file.
That file contains lots of comments
which document all configuration parameters in great detail.
So, I will only point you to the most important ones.
These are: flyway.url,
flyway.user and flyway.password
The flyway.url parameter defines the JDBC URL
which Flyway shall use to connect to the database.
For most databases,
Flyway will detect the required JDBC driver based on the flyway.url.
So, you don't need to provide it.
The parameters flyway.user and flyway.password
are optional.
The command line client will prompt you for the user information,
if you don't provide them in the configuration file.
And here is the configuration that I use for this example.
I tell Flyway to connect to my PostgreSQL database
recipes on localhost:5433
and to use the user postgres
with the password postgres.
OK, so let's run Flyway and initialize the database to version 1.
You can do that by calling the command line client with the migrate command.
And you're done.
As you can see in the log output,
Flyway found an empty database
and applied the migration script for version 1.
Running the migration process from the command line is
OK if your operations team updates your application manually.
But for all automated deployments
or applications that your customers host themselves,
you might prefer an integrated migration that updates
the database at application startup.
Flyway is implemented in Java and extremely easy to integrate.
You just have to add the flyway-core jar file to your project.
If you're using Maven,
you can do that with the following dependency.
And after you've done that,
you can trigger the Flyway database migration from your Java code.
You can do that by creating a new Flyway instance,
configuring the datasource
and calling the migrate() method.
You can either call the setDataSource method
with a DataSource object
or provide the JDBC connection,
username and password as Strings.
In general, I recommend to provide a DataSource object
because you can easily get it from your connection pool.
But in my simple test environment,
I don't use a connection pool
and, therefore, provide the required information as Strings.
OK, you're almost done.
The only thing that's missing is the migration script.
I'm reusing the SQL script from the previous example
and copy it to the src/main/resources/db/migration folder.
Similar to the command line client,
Flyway's API integration checks all files in that folder
and uses them to update the database if necessary.
That's it!
You implemented your first database migration with Flyway.
For all future updates of your application,
you now just need to create an SQL script
and drop it to the sql folder of the command line client
or the src/main/resources/db/migration directory
of your Java project.
Let's quickly summarize this video
and don't forget to download your cheat sheet
with the most important details of this video.
The goal of an automated, version-based
database migration is to create your database migration scripts
together with your Java code
and to execute them automatically
when you deploy a new version of your application.
You can implement such a process with Flyway.
It keeps track of all applied migrations
the current database version
so that it can detect and execute the required
migration steps to update your database to the latest version.
Flyway provides you several options to run the database migration.
You can trigger it as part of your build process,
use a command line client
or integrate it into your Java application.
OK, that's it for today.
If you want to learn more about Hibernate,
you should join the free Thoughts on Java Library.
It gives you free access to a lot of member-only content
like a cheat for this video
and an ebook about using native queries with JPA and Hibernate.

LEGO Star Wars Han Solo's Landspeeder consumer review! 75209 - Duration: 11:45.
hello everyone this is the Lego Star Wars solo movie han solo's land speeder
set it's basically a 1968 Dodge Charger in
space seriously Google that you'll see what I mean
within the Star Wars universe this draws a lot of parallels to Luke's land
speeder from a new hope although this one in real life is inspired by the
stylistic design choices of American vehicles and architecture of about a
decade later than Luke speeder was interestingly the design of this thing
is asymmetric so it's fully cowled off or mostly cowled off on one side I could
just imagine that this was the original design maybe not including this section
here it probably would have been completely smooth when it was originally
built and then this side has been kind of broken off and has lost some of its
body panels so you're seeing some of the frame work and some of the the plumbing
inside from there it's not a particularly difficult build to assemble
just following the instructions but it does have a lot of studs on the side
construction which gives it interesting shapes
it felt basic to put it together but the end result is a little bit advanced in
terms of the design choices that were made even the sections on the base of
the vehicle were built with studs on the side construction so you'll see some
items with the studs facing outwards or covered up studs and placed on their
sides so overall I think that the the build experience was enjoyable though
fairly simple and the end result is pleasing to the eye one thing that I
don't like about this is the use of the light grey bracket piece right there I
think that was done in black or dark grey would look better and just would
have allowed the whole wing section to be a little bit more smooth now this has
a number of play features or things that can be changed on it or
move it around you can see the spring-loaded shooter under there they
have one on either side fire those off from the back when you do have those
loaded in there the tail stick way out which is really easy for playing really
easy to be you know driving this thing from the back and then just fire it
whenever you want but does not look particularly good so if you don't like
the look of it just leave it out or leave it just half way in so the tail is
kind of buried in there like it was when I started out the video also this has
wheels on it not sure if you noticed but there are little things sticking out
down under there there's one right there and the other one at the back you can't
even see it's it's hidden away the most low-profile installation of wheels I
think I've ever seen on a lego set nicely hidden away so it allows you to
roll the thing around they're small and they're hard so you can still slide it
around from side to side and yeah it just helps you know it just allows you
to move this around more easily than having it flat on the ground or with
inverted slopes you also have a removable hood here which is fairly
large the fan style details the vents on the tops are printed pieces and you get
one of those relatively new curved 1 by 2 plates with the hollow studs and then
they've got some suggestion of what's supposed to be analogous to an engine
here might be a repulsor field generator or something perhaps but interestingly
enough that's actually designed to be removed you can just pull that up as an
entire assembly take that out so you can pretend that you need to do some
maintenance on this thing and it comes with its own toolkit I mean it's it's
just a wrench with a pry bar at one end but you know wash it to get into some
some roleplay of actually working on the thing I don't know if this is supposed
to be fuel over here or maybe coolant it kind of looks like an antifreeze
overflow tank to me so I'm going with that
it also has storage for an extra spring-loaded shooter bolt on one side
at the back is an interesting small in the future you can remove this now
maybe that's supposed to be like a reactor core there something related to
energy generation or recovery it's actually a refuse container trash bin on
its side they're interesting little little mounting there again more studs
on the side construction it's just absolutely everywhere but you know it's
nice to be able to play with this thing to have it pretend to be broken down and
have to work on it and you can get two different components of it
the cockpit area of this to me is pretty perfect it's a really nice layout it
looks somewhat luxurious you know it's got that nice tan finish on the inside
they actually have tan colored regular minifigure seats that's great to see
you've got a little bit of space behind those seats it's like a 2+2
configuration so you can put some weapons or other accessories back there
and they also have little spaces due to the extra horizontal spacing you've got
little slots in between the drivers in the center console or the passenger and
driver and center console to put a blaster in there which makes even more
sense because then it's a lot easier for the figure to get to it I mean you're
not actually gonna grab it from there in real life but you know it just looks
right and I like the printed pieces they're nothing new but they look good
and they are well placed and you get the yoke style steering as well so that's
just all good if you ask me this figure of young Han Solo is really interesting
to me because I personally don't think the actor they got to play young Solo in
the movie looks enough like a younger version of Harrison Ford but this figure
I feel strikes a a perfect middle ground between looking like that actor it's
close enough and looking like a young Harrison Ford the part of it part of
that it gets from the hair piece which you know is shared with the the adult
the normal form of solo the Harrison Ford solo versions
in the most recent renditions so I think that helps but yeah just I think this
ends up being a better figure than the actor is for solo for a young solo so I
like that the print on the legs doesn't look that great to me I have to see how
that turns out in the movie I think it probably shouldn't look a little bit
more dusty and then the print on the back of the torso it doesn't look that
great to me it's just very very blocky with the splotches of dirt and such this
is the alternate face when you just swap the hair around you see how that kind of
frames up the face that also looks really good now this to me looks a
little bit more like the the actor does but there's still some some Harrison
Ford in this like a younger version of Harrison Ford so again I think they did
really really well with the face body is OK I like the front torso print but the
other prints not so much just for me right now I can just imagine him saying
I've got a good feeling for what this the Kirra figure looks absolutely
appropriate to me nice new hairpiece it's a little bit realistic but it still
fits that Lego aesthetic I think the choice of faces is good I like the torso
print maybe it's a little bit simple but it's not bad and I think the leg print
and also hip printing for this one looks a little bit better to me personally
just with this this layout for the the wear patterns and the dirt patterns a
little bit simple on the back of the torso notice that the color for the
torso arms is the metallic silver color not a grey and then her alternate face
is a smile and there's how that looks with the hair framing it up again I
think it just works so no complaints about this one from me last but not
least here is the one Karelian hound included in this set what an awful
looking thing that is I say that with utmost respect and admiration it's
supposed to look evil it's a really simple build here from
Lego being just one piece no articulation just a little bit of print
on it you know just to get the nostrils the eyes and the teeth they could have
done more print on it to get more you know like feathering detail in the fur
and such they didn't do that and I think it's fine
I like the mold I like the ridges along the back
I think the proportions look pretty good of course it would be would have been
nice to get this in an articulated form even just a little bit but I think it's
okay for its size this is more than acceptable and I think a lot of people
will like this although it may be a little bit divisive but I think it's
about right for a lego model of this creature I think this is a pretty
well-done set I have to think of it from the perspective of the designers job the
designers tasks and goals I feel like the goals were met with this I think
that the the proportions are good the overall realism is very good for a lego
model especially for something that again is so easy to put together the
price depart ratio is fine the price to volume of stuff ratio in terms of like
just how much I see here in front of me is is okay relative to some other
roughly $30 US vehicle sets in in recent times I wouldn't mind if it was a little
bit cheaper given that it's just one vehicle but you do have to pay for the
extra detail of things like the opening hood and the detail inside of there
which is in my opinion better than it needs to be but again I'm not
complaining because it's really nice that removable whatever that's supposed
to be am I'm going to call it a repulsor field generator but call it an engine
call whatever you like eventually you will get a cutaway official explanation
of it I like this little thing back here it's it's a nice small simple build you
get the action features of being able to shoot things but if you don't like those
leave them out and it does nothing to hurt the design of this you know the
fact that those spring-loaded shooters are integrated into it so there's really
nothing here that was done poorly in my opinion and again that figure is good
that figure I think is better than the real-life huge figure just in terms of
how they look so that's it for my thoughts on this one feel free to share
what you think in a comment down below and I'll talk to you in soon

Letting the Dice Settle Group Decisions in D&D - DM Tips - Duration: 4:50.Hey, Luke Hart here!
I don't know about you, but in my D&D games sometimes it seems like decision making can
take FOREVER.
And the more players you have, the more they'll analyze every option and agonize over which
is the best decision to take.
Now, in one respect, this is a GOOD thing because it means they are engaged with the
game and the story and they want to take the best course of action – the course of action
that leads to success.
However, there reaches a point where enough –
Is enough.
[Jim Bob] Look, we can't just go in the front door.
They'll expect that.
[Alexis] We should sneak in the back!
I have proficiency in thieves' tools!
I can pick the lock!
[Timmy] No, that'll never work.
Clearly there is one good solution here, and that's to go to the War Wizards and they
will teleport us into the guild hall!
[Timmy deliberately wipes slobber from face.]
[Timmy] And that's what we should do.
[Jim Bob] No, no, no!
It will not work!
[Alexis] Look, you guys, you have to trust me on this one.
If we go in through the back, they will never expect it.
It's the most logical thing to do.
[Timmy] I swear, I get so tired of you guys and your really dumb ideas.
[Jim Bob freaking out.]
Hey!
You!
We can't just – That's insane!
No, that's just not going to work.
[More freaking out.]
[Alexis] Everybody's guarding the front door.
Who's in the back?
Who do you think is in the back?
I'll tell you who's in the back: the kitchen!
The kitchen's in the back, and inside the kitchen are the cooks.
And the cooks are not armed.
What do they have, cleavers?
Are they really going to attack us with cleavers?
No!
[Timmy] This is the stupidest thing in the world.
No, you're going to blow everything up with lockpicking, Alexis.
And, Jim Bob, you're a moron!
Go through the front door?
You guys are idiots!
The best thing to do is to use magic to get in there.
We go to the war wizards over there, and they can teleport us in there, lickedie split.
[DM] So….what do you want to do then?
[Jim Bob] No!
This is not going to work!
[freaking out] [Timmy] Remember that time you tried to pick
a lock on something?
It was on a chest.
And you know what happened to the chest?
It blew up!
So clearly that's not a good idea.
[Alexis] You don't have to worry about that.
I'm telling you, if we go into the back, I will pick the lock, and everything will
be okay.
Why won't you listen to me?
[Timmy] No, we're not going into the front door either, that's just dumb.
[Alexis] Don't talk over me!
Listen to me when I'm talking to you!
[Jim Bob] Oooooohhhhh!
Is that enough B-roll yet?
[DM, dumbfounded, staring alternatingly at players.]
I mean, at some point, the DM has to step in right?
Because if he doesn't, the players can go on like this for a long time.
A really long time!
I once watched a game session here on YouTube where the players literally spent – and
I mean literally in the literal definition of literally, not the figurative definition
of literally – whatever that is.
The players literally spent two hours discussing among themselves if they were going to make
a deal with the bad guy or fight him.
And here's the thing, only two or three of the eight players were actually engaged
in the conversation.
The other 6 or so were quiet almost the entire two hours.
And I imagine the dialogue in their heads was something like, "Gee I wish we could
do anything – anything at all! – besides sit here talking about this."
My mind was blown away by this, so I posted a comment along the lines of, "Hey DM, why
didn't you step in and do something to speed things along?"
His response?
[odd voice] "That's just part of the game."
(This is my dumbfounded look.
Like it?)
I don't know.
That just doesn't cut it for me.
I maintain that a DM should not allow decision making to dominate table time.
There are too many other parts of the game that are much more fun to let decision making
unnecessarily eat up your table time.
There reaches a point – and you'll know it when it happens – that a decision – any
decision – needs to be made in order to move the game forward.
And you'll know when you're there.
It might be five minutes.
It might be fifteen minutes.
It might be a half hour.
But when you get there, it's time to do something to move the game forward.
So, this is what I do in my games when I feel the players have discussed their options enough
and a course of action needs to be decided upon.
Players in favor of option A roll d12s [dice clattering] and you add the them up.
Players in favor of option B roll d12s [dice clattering] and you add them up.
Finally players who want option C roll.
[die clattering] Whichever group gets the highest total wins,
and the entire party takes that course of action.
This method gives weight to the majority, but also provides the chance that the minority
will get their way.
It's not a perfect method -- But it sure beats sitting at a table for two
hours discussing what you should do next.
(another classic dumbfounded face – I'm good at these)
If you liked this video, and you want to support more of them, consider checking out my adventure
"Prisoners of the Drow" over on DriveThruRPG.
Link in description.
It's pay what you want, so you can toss me a buck or two if you'd like.
No big deal.
I've also begun work on the sequel to that adventure, "Into the City of Spiders"
where the PCs need to infiltrate a drow stronghold in a drow city.
I don't have a definite timeline for that, but hopefully I should have it done soon-ish.
So stay tuned!
Anyway, let me know in the comments how YOU handle players talking forever to make decisions.
Also, please let me know if there are specific topics you'd like to see me cover in the
future.
Until next time…
Let's play D&D! [catchy music :D ]

What are Grand Unification Theories? - Duration: 7:06.
So you've asked what would be necessary
for Grand Unified Theories to be accepted.
I'd like to start by explaining what Grand Unification Theories (GUTs) are
and I'm starting with an example we all are familiar with,
which is electromagnetism.
Before the end of the 19th century, electric and magnetic phenomena were believed
to be completely independent, and in fact there where theories explaining them separately,
electricity on one hand, and magnetism on the other.
However, around the end of the 19th century
it was understood that electricity and magnetism were two sides of the same coin,
two manifestations of the same thing, electromagnetism.
This is in a sense a unified theory,
since it takes two seemingly different things
and includes them in the same framework, the same theory.
This same idea can be applied in Particle Physics or Fundamental Physics,
such that the three interactions we know today, the strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions,
could be three manifestations of one same interaction, which includes the three.
How would that work?
The point is that we know that the strength of interactions,
how they behave, varies depending on the energy at which we observe.
We can make a plot
of the strength of interactions as function of the energy.
We have the strong interaction,
the weak interaction and the electromagnetic interaction,
which behave differently with energy.
For instance at low energies, like the muon mass or the LHC energy.
What's the point? That, as we increase the energy,
they start with different values, but they reach a regime
in which the three strengths become equal,
and the three interaction may unify into a single one at higher energies.
This is the idea underlying Grand Unification Theories (GUTs);
at low energies we see three forces,
which however become the same at high energies.
This would happen at very very high energies, far higher than those at the LHC.
But then, how can we know whether this, which happens at such high energies, is correct,
with the present technology today?
Well, every theory has some predictions,
predictions that you can look for in experiments to try and see them.
If you succeed in seeing them, you can confirm your theory;
if you don't see them, you can exclude little by little that theory.
Now, what are the predictions of GUTs?
They're mainly two.
If you come to think about it, what GUTs do
is to introduce a larger force which includes the three we already know.
If so, since the three interactions we know today
have their mediators,
for instance, the electromagnetic interaction has the photon, the strong interaction has the gluons,
then this larger force including all the others should have its own mediators.
These would be new particles, which we can try to discover
in the same way the Standard Model particles were seen.
What would happen if we do not see these new particles?
Two things: either these theories are wrong,
they're not correct and they don't describe nature,
or either these particles they predict are very very heavy; they may be somewhere here.
So, as we have not reached them with the energy at the LHC,
we just don't see them.
But, we may however see their effects at presently available energies,
and this brings in the second main prediction of GUTs,
proton decay.
Proton decay comes about because, since we have this larger force,
it should engulf features of all the three low-energy forces.
This force allows particles to talk to each other,
even beyond the way the three fundamental forces allow.
For instance, in the Standard Model quarks and leptons cannot interact directly with each other,
but in GUTs they can!
Precisely because the large force unifying the other three
can mix properties of all their forces.
In GUTs, protons can interact
and turn into leptons.
This does not exist in the Standard Model
where the three forces are separated,
but it does exist in GUTs.
So, proton decay is another prediction of GUTs,
that we should see if they're right.
If proton decay is not detected,
and in fact we do not see proton decay, since we're made of protons
and we are not decaying
does that mean that GUTs are wrong?
Well, it could be. Just like with the mediators,
and the fact that not seeing them may mean that GUTs are not right,
or that we must look for their effects somewhere else,
proton decay or not can also tell us
if GUTs are good descriptions of nature or not.
GUTs, just like all theories,
depend on a few parameters, for instance the mass of the mediator particles,
and changing the values of this mass
we can increase of shorten the proton decay time.
Taking the proton lifetime the longest possible
in GUTs
we can compare this with the experiments,
with the experimental lower bounds on the proton lifetime,
which nowadays is 10^{34} years.
This bound already excludes the simplest GUT,
the Georgi-Glahow theory.
However, there are sill GUTs which are compatible
with the proton decay data,
and it'll take further measuring of proton lifetime bounds
to confirm or not these GUTs.
Last, I'd like to mention that this unification of the interaction strengths,
the fact that the three meet at a single point,
does not happen exactly with the present data and particle content of the Standard Model,
but can happen in Supersymmetry.
So, we need to look for new particles,
like the supersymmetric partners, or the new mediators,
and we have to continue looking for proton decay,
until we have enough data to confirm or not GUTs.

【MUKBANG】 8 Malaysian Cup Noodles Review!! [MAMEE Chef, Maggi Hot Cup, Super Cup] 2653kcal[Use CC] - Duration: 12:01.Hello! This is Kinoshita Yuka! (0 effort Garbage subs by ~Aphexx~)
Today is
I would like to eat instant noodles I bought in Malaysia!
By the way, this is what I am wearing today!
Nyukyokoba ...
Nyonyo ...
This is a costume called NYONYA KEBAYA
Some say it's like wearing jewelry
That's just how beautiful the costume is
You see, it's pretty, so cute
Malaysian food,
I thought that I would definitely eat it wearing Malaysian costume as well
And I've got some more as well
This is also something from Melaka
They call it beads sandal but
It seems to be called Nyonha sandals as well
Just check them out
The decoration of this bead is really fine and it is really beautiful!
I bought it as a set with this
My feet get so sore right away
Something seems to go wrong when I wear these
Perhaps it's the awkward way I walk around
When I was wearing such a thing
Even when we are things like kimono and such
I have to move according to it
for reals I am always awkward AF and not elegant
It looks very tasty
It's amazing fun to eat instant noodles from overseas
itadakimasu
It looks all tasty
I will eat it from the other end
Is the first one here, "Mommy"?
I think it's called chef
These are all quite well known Makers of ramen in Malaysia
It says right here that it's a curry laksa flavored
Curry laksa
It is the taste of laksa
Oh!
I have a fork
Cool!
With noodles
soup
Toppings
And some sort of paste
in this laksa there is some sort of Fried tofu curd as well
Soup, if you look like it was divided into two
Two soups
Oh, this is white
Coconut milk
When I ate laksa before
They really made these nicely
It is amazing!
Curry powder and perhaps coconut milk powder,
Perhaps I think that this will be added at the end
How much water do I add
And I will wait
Open
It is like this
Oh, something like coconut milk and curry
Mixes together Getting such a good smell
Such legit ingredients
I guess it might not be good, but
For reals instant noodle cups
If you eat one by one
I it's way too hot so I'll add some ice
Oh! !
It's not babyonya
Nyayakubaya ~
Let's clean it later
What did I tell you I'm awkward AF and such a clutz
I just can't help it
I go and wreck such nice clothes like this
Let's Be careful
Yes, it looks like this!
I will put this pasty stuff in here
I wonder how it taste
Oh, a bit hot
A bit spicy
It looks a little red pepper
However, it's not overly spicy
Oh, it's painful
hehehehe
It's rather spicy
It doesn't say that it's spicy But it is rather a spicy
Did I put it in too much?
Maybe I was supposed to only put in a certain amount
, it is like this
WUT DIS?
Well, look here.
A bit of a mysterious cut line
Let's just figure it out after eating
Hehe he
itadakimasu
Well I think chopsticks are good
I'd like to eat it with a fork Since it came packed with a fork
Well, I will try sipping soup first
Mmm!
Ah! Delicious tasty!
It's spicy, but coconut milk
It is a bit mild
it's delicious
I taste like chicken
This is noodle.
Yup! it's delicious!
The toppings are very reminiscent of a laksa
Already!
Toppings are very similar to a laksa
It is not like a completely different taste, is it?
I totally think they could sell this in Japan
It is a taste that it is not strange
Delicious!
It seems to go well with rice
All done
Soup is spicy and rich
But there is sweetness of coconut milk
It was very tasty.
Well then, here
It is the same manufacturer as before
Spicy chicken ... something
Shi ... is it a sea urchin?
I do not know!
It says flavor right here
ahhh I got it
I know what it says
Shiteiku, it is not English
This Shiitake
Drawings of mushrooms on here
Spicy chicken Shiitake mushroom flavor
Oh, that's right!
Shiitake mushrooms, are called shiitake Even in other tongues
~ ~!
I learned something
here in Japan when you see something with shitake in it, they just call it mushroom broth
soup with shiitake mushrooms
You don't often say shiitake soup
Ah ~ Is it the fragrance of shiitake mushrooms?
wait
I think that it is early to eat
I will make another one
Next is "Super Cup" 's crown flavor
Pictures of shrimps are on it
Cup or lid material is
It is different from Japan
It is like this
They are so cute!
I should hold on to these cups
They are so foreign
Soup powder
tempura bits
Put hot water
There is no hot water line in here
So, eat chefs while this is being made
How efficient it is!
It was a bit tough yet
Maybe I was a bit too efficient
What are you talking about instant noodles?
I will eat with chopsticks
After all its so easy to eat chopsticks
Yes! It is like this
Do you see the color of this soup?
It looks so light and fresh
Oh, it is very delicious!
It is the taste of soup of shiitake mushroom soup!
It is quite flavorful
Delicious
Shiitake mushroom soup works well
noodle.
Very simple flavors
Unlike the curry just before, this one is also delicious
Prominent pepper flavor
All done
Back to the one we made a while back
I should have added the soup ahead of time
And put this in there
It's very reminiscent of breaded shrimp
Ah! The soup of shrimp works, it works!
Yup!
It's not as rich as the previous one
But delicious taste is good as well
This is the current mainstream of Malaysia
Japanese instant noodles are very....
I feel as though we don't have that many Made with shrimp stock
Done
So here is the seafood
This is "Super Cup" seafood
Looking at it, written how to make it on the lid
Soup looks like one you add first
This appears to be fake crab
In addition, we are also making this
This is also like laksa
It says Curry on it
It is a comparison between "Mommy" and this "super"
curry soup - like
The hot water has run out, so I will use this T - fal
I've got two of these in my house Including this T-Fal
I am boiling now.
This is how it looks like this
Oh, this already is amazing
I smell the seafood
Oh, it's delicious!
Better taste than before
Malaysian instant noodles are
Although the color of the soup is not that dark but...
I think that the taste is proper
All done
This is Curry flavor
But this time it's a bit different from the earlier Curries
The color of the soup is transparent
Yup!
I feel like curry-flavored soup
All done
So next is mi goreng "Super Cup"
very yakisoba-like... this , Mie goreng
I love , Mie goreng
Seasoning is sweet and tasty
Powdered soup
Paste-like something
Is this like oil?
I wonder if the type where you drain the hot water off it?
I do not know how to make it well
Because there is nothing like a drain
I wonder if it's a type of hot water draining
I'll make it with a bit less water
How are you supposed to drain this
Or maybe I do not have to drain the hot water?
Ah! It was written
it was written.
You're supposed to throw out the water
Although there is no hot water cut out
It seems like holding down the fork and holding down the hot water
I wasn't really that confident I could drain this properly
I cut it with a sieve
soup
Oh, something red soup.
I feel this black one is sweet and I like it
I have not eaten, I do not know yet
And mix
Ah!
it be time to use this other fork
It's so difficult to use this thing
Ahh
Yes, it is like this
Yup!
(ス ズ ズ ズ ズ ズ ズ ズ ッ ツ)
Yup! It's sweet and amazing, it's delicious
There is only a bit of spicy Heat
Next is Maggie's hot cup
You can buy Maggie even in Japan
It seems to be a popular manufacturer in Malaysia
The lid has become torn
When carrying
Toppings and soup
Something like this, Sapuyamu ...
Something something special
This is probably also curry-like
Laksa-like
another one
Curry color
Yup! The smell also curry
It seems quite light
Oh, I feel like the taste of vegetable soup
It tastes gentle
It is a gentle taste soup
It tastes a bit like celery
It was vegetable soup
It's like curry flavor
Yup!
It's a soup with a taste of curry
So this is a little hot
It's got a spicy hit to it
(ス ズ ズ ズ ズ ズ ズ ズ ズ ズ ズ ズ ッ ズ)
Yup! Delicious!
Taking care not to thin out the soup too much With the addition of ice
I am making this with less water
It's too hot, you will not know the taste either
I don't like my suits to be overly hot
Last bite
Last gulp
All done
gochisosamadeshita
Malaysian cup noodles, it was really delicious
Something sort of
its totes something that would totally sell here in Japan
These are flavors that we don't have here
It was awesome.
The one I like the most
I ate so many of these I don't know which one is which
"Mommy Chef" I ate first was delicious awesome!
As I thought, I also like sour soup
I prefer my soups on the T H I C C side
Soup made by mixing this curry and coconut milk powder
Tasted really great
next ... I love Miegoren.
I only had this one mie goreng
But other 'Maggie' was delicious
Everything was very tasty!
Everyone, I think people who live in Malaysia can eat regularly but....
Everyone in other countries
What is the difference with instant noodles in your country?
won't you give them a try
Thank you for watching today too!
I want something I want you to do or if I want something to eat
Please let me know in the comment section etc. if it is good!
Good movie with this video
