We finish up some facts from:

ZHONK, SHH SHH GHMMMMMMM

The Computer Series

We talk about the third type of printer which can be used to print: METAL!

We also talk about how cables work, and some of the technology in the most advanced cables that make them extremely powerful. So powerful they can power multiple devices at the same time, while charging a computer.

You may pay $7 more on your clothing, but are you the only one who really pays more? Or does someone else pay as well?

Inspiration for this was the movie: The True Cost (on peacock). This is a small analysis on my part!

Original title was: Fast Fashion's Feasability For Our Fellows. Thoughts?

I made this podcast for the NYTimes Podcast Challenge, and since I didn't win I get to redistribute it here! (That is part of the reason why I'm speaking faster than usual).

Here's a hint on the topics of this podcast:

Last time I made a podcast with a similar name it was about a 2D printer. Why do I specify? Well - that's your hint.

Want to get into 3D printing yourself? Well for one more day, bambu lab is offering a sale on their 3D printers. I like bambu lab because they just work. No extra tinkering needed. I also recommend Onshape for your design work. It takes some time to learn, but they have a bunch of really cool tutorials that are extremely useful. (Not sponsored by the way – I love these programs myself!)

We talk about the privatization of schools. Are private school vouchers really a good thing? We compare the education system in Chile and talk about the education system in Europe.

Tell me what you think - what are your thoughts on the privatization of these schools? Are you okay with higher taxes if it means better free schooling? (Is schooling really free??)

Stay tuned for more about what's happening inside our country and a finishing to our computer episode (a filling in the gaps?)

In today's episode we talk about the conflicts going on in our world today. What is the history behind them, what is happening now, and what are others' thoughts about these conflicts? This is all to give you more information to think about this yourself.

Update: I will work on lowering music volume in my next episode.

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.

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.

Crying 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.

We talk about all the display technologies commonly seen today! 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)

Thank 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 =)
