Sorry – not about butterflies =( I can make one though! Just comment below.In this episode we talk about the Pope, how the pope is chosen, the ladder to climb to become pope, and the pope's responsibilities.Sources:https://vatican.com/The-Vaticans-government/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mybg9QdNJVchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNwgh787umMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF8I_r9XT7A

Ooh maybe I should make a riddle of the week...That'd be cool =) And listen to the end for the answer to the title riddle.We continue our talk on what I learned in Alaska. Last week we talked about the History of the discovery of the climate. This week we talk more about root causes and also – what you can do. Because we won't solve this as individuals. We need to fight on the same level as the oil industries.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0sxwGlTLWwCrying Indian ad mentioned in the video. Notice the terms "some people" and also "you" at the end. The organization, Keep America Beautiful, was created by a coalition of can creation companies (the ones you drink Coke in). They didn't want you to fight on a social level to just get rid of cans, they want you to stay individual.

Did you get the joke? Here's another hint just so JUNEAU, because if you don't just say "IDAHO, ALASKA!" Don't search it up! It's one my friends and I made up – so you won't find it anywhere else =) I'll tell you in the next episode. All information comes from Zach from Tidelines Institute! Thank you so much!

We start with backlit displays (LCD, Micro LED, QUANTUM Micro LCD) and then move onto non-backlit displays (OLED, AMOLED, WLED, QLED) and their pros and cons! We also discuss the TRUE CRAB (Mini LED)Crab Analogy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyUA1OmXMXA&t=491sOther Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ubwkG7uCFAThank you so much everyone for all your support (even though I unconsciously switched to a monthly release for two episodes =))And NO that is not a double chin. =) is the emoji and ) is the closing parenthesis – so we get =))

We all know the devastating effects of Microplastics on the environment and on human health. But, there is still a lot of research lacking on how to prevent these microplastics from entering the local ecosystem (at least in our community). So, we tracked the movement of these micro particles to figure out how to stop them. And we won the Stockholm Regional Junior Water Prize for this =)LINK TO THE POSTER BOARDhttps://tinyurl.com/6ppd-canvaOr if you prefer the longer link:https://www.canva.com/design/DAGhEuhvpCc/4l9MdZcq-ahF9Dq69gNf6Q/view?utm_content=DAGhEuhvpCc&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=h9d369baca1

Movie production time! We go over the steps of movie making, and brief over the people who make these movies possible! This is an extremely oversimplified version of how movies are made - but it is also still extremely interesting. There is so much work going into these movies - so - I hope you learn some more insights into how these are made. SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS! Now available on every streaming service except for soundcloud. (Youtube - yes - but a couple of episodes are missing due to transfer issues)

In this episode we finish up our talk on memory. We are adding to what we learned last episode in this series and finishing with SSDs and RAM. We also talk a lot of designing for purpose. What is this items purpose - and how is it designed to fit that purpose? (Headphones v/s Earbuds) Are there any drawbacks to each?I am also creating a google document that summarizes everything in every episode as I publish them. So - if you need a quick catch up, you can check out this google doc. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cC8abC9_Dv5l7LhuY7XxW3wpbVKZPMl1e9NiFUrE8Pk/edit?usp=sharingShare this podcast with your friends!

Sorry I'm a bit late, Spotify was being a bit weird and wouldn't let me upload!We are starting another series! This time about the instruments in an orchestra, but also instruments you hear every day and how they work. How they make sound and all the different types of instruments there are!In this episode we start talking about how sound works and I give you a brief intro into the types of instruments. In the upcoming series, we'll talk about each individual type of instrument!Sources:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqfUm7kyj7shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzK-tYFGQx4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5v7PG9rygAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3Bpq9Y9VQghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYHfiQ4R7Bs

Today we are talking all about STORAGE! Well - at least some of it - we are talking about HDDs. Hard Disk Drive storage. We also talk a little bit about the hierarchy of storage and volatile and non-volatile storage! Make sure to check our previous part of this episode about CPUs and GPUs if you missed that because we will be putting all this together at the end in an ultimate comparison of Mac v/s Windows =) Here's the hierarchy I mentioned in the podcast: Stage A - Cache Storage [THE FASTEST - TINIEST STORAGE] Stage B - Cache Storage [VERY VERY FAST - TINY STORAGE] Stage C - Cache Storage [ VERY FAST - SMALL STORAGE] Stage D - RAM [FAST - BIGGER STORAGE] Stage E - HDD/SSD [ STILL FAST, BUT NOT AS MUCH - TONS OF STORAGE] All of these are very fast to the point that you may not notice if a data packet is stored in Stage A, or D, but they are still faster than the previous one!

(Just a tad bit though). Thanks to everyone for listening! Publishing Schedule for Christmas Time: Saturday Dec. 4 Saturday Dec. 11

In part two of this series we continue talking about Water! We talk about why it takes so much energy to heat up water compared to air, and why water floats when it is frozen.

We are starting ANOTHER SERIES! Get ready for an exciting end of the year! In this new series we are talking about the emergent properties of water! We will be doing a deep dive into what makes water behave the way it does. We will move far past the fact that water is H20. (Yes, it is H20, but what does it mean?)

Hello! In this episode we talk about how you hear the things that you hear! How we talk, and also how you are able to listen to my podcast! How, a microphone and speaker works. In fact, when I first started researching this Idea, it was only on how a microphone and speaker works, but then, I got caught up in how sound waves are made! More knowledge! Hope you enjoy! Make sure to check out the Q&A and polls section in Spotify! You can rate my podcasts and give me feedback! This will greatly help me grow as a podcaster and make your listening experience better! Thanks to Miles (Fox) for creating the music! I didn't even ask! Email: deceit.vestry05@icloud.com Actual Publishing Date: February 23 2024

Hello! I know it's Wednesday! A new feature I tried - scheduled publishing went horribly wrong! (It was set to this coming Friday) In this episode we fill in the gaps for episode number 26 and sort of episode number 27. This is because I cannot cover everything that there is to cover in one short episode. I also don't want to stretch the episode. Enjoy!

Here we talk about how tropical cyclones and tornadoes form! We talk a little bit about Newton's first law of Motion and how it causes tropical cyclones to swirl. Also - note that tropical cyclones is the generally agreed on term for tsunami/typhoon. This episode was a tad bit complicated - especially the tornado part. Here's a drive link to an image that I made to help explain the tornado bit.: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12lo8hboGd2GAXWFbyrVm8JRjltqqZN9y/view?usp=sharing CREDITS/SOURCES: Hurricanes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPDoIrGUrEc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m68_07Sav4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hkdAMyn-ZU Tornadoes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmWh9jV_1ac https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT7yRMLAkCY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNKAcDeBJbg
