  • EP13; Building Cities the American Way

    #spotify #podcast #patreon #ooktalks

    If you think of American cities, what word comes to mind? Sure, it's boring, just squares and rectangles, and also a host of complex highway intersections. The word "city" is just what American people call roads with people. Americans built cities in simple forms. Squares. The shape with the 4 angles and it's a quadrilateral. Very simple. 

    (By the way, it's 16 days to the 4th of July, keep up!)

    REVISION EDITION

    When you're traveling to Asia, one destination always comes to mind. Hong Kong is Asia's duo, and with other cities like Tokyo and Manila, Hong Kong has lots to offer. But as you may see, there are almost 200 to 300 apartment buildings around Hong Kong, and in those apartments lies an important way of living, cage homes.

  • EP10; The 7.5 Billion Quip of the World

    The world is enormous. Really huge. In fact, by 2050, scientists predicted that there would be about 20 to 30 billion people. Now, people live in cities, and about 20% live in rural and undeveloped areas. Such so, people decided to step up from stilt homes to skyscrapers. But, there's a time where all of these people, in theory, could fit in an entire city. What city is that? We'll cover that in this episode.

  • EP09; Why CAPTCHA Exists

    Be sure always to process CAPTCHA tests.

    The "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart" is a unique test that collects user data from two simple things, network, and statistics. It's the test that's done entirely from a computer or phone, and it's just a tap away (if you're this unsuspected human flopping around).

  • EP08; Why Eastern Parts of Cities Have Less Development

    The first Ook Talks special episode. Filled with facts. Shrouded in solved mysteries.

    Today's topic refers to the world's undoubted flaw, the Eastern parts of most cities. Cities like Moscow, Paris, Berlin, and London often have more impoverished areas with less development and government intervention. Sure, there are numerous cities with equal development like Singapore and New York, but most cities worldwide used the same template for any country or township that they're trying to build.

  • EP07; 38 Minute Battle Explained

    Hey hey! Imagine you're ruling a nation. You want to make sure not to disturb your neighbors by giving them a surprise black and yellow warning sign in a rocket. War these days, in theory, means the break of some treaties signed in the 1960s to the 1990s. The wars represent people's perspectives in some particular way, including differentiating their social status and wealth. It's also the worst way to interact with neighboring countries. With that, I would like to present to you the half-hour battle of history.

  • EP05; Worldly Dictionary

Most people around the world used the dictionary regularly. The terms from the dictionary are what we're going to be discussing the most. Let's get started.

  • EP04; London Ladder

    When you're traveling across the UK, you might come across the capital of the Monarchies, London. London is one of the world's main attractions, making it one of the top. However, unlike Washington DC and New York, London has some fancy footwork, dealing with over 40 million visitors annually. London has a quirky skyline, with a mix-match of Dutch, American, and British architecture, placed into one big city. This is lovely, and in London's case, the money comes in. But how do we end up with a London (and another one?) in the fair British Isles? We'll see.
