My, my...
(A case fan)!
I've always wanted one of these.
Oh...
(What's this)?
(DVD Drive)!
I thought I had a couple of these somewhere...
Oh!
Good.
I think it's time for a uh... request video number three.
Youtube random comment picker.
Uh.. nope.
Nope.
Hello Mr.Evan make a steering wheel Arduino joystick and steering wheel is 3D printed
thank you for making us happy.
Okay.
Arduino.
Steering wheel.
3D printed.
What else you got?
Next.
Next.
You ugly chink.
Nope, nope.
Ain't nothing I can do about that.
Hey Evan, can you make a controller out of a fidget cube?
Controller.
Fidgetty.
That was a terrible idea.
Uhh.. nope.
Nope.
Nope.
Please wire a PS2 controller to USB.
PS2.
USB.
This... this was a terrible idea.
Evan, just go back to bed.
Forget all this happened.
It's not like anybody's gonna know that you tried to make them happy and you failed again.
Go back to bed.
Go back to bed.
Go back to bed.
Go back to...
Design.
Uhh...
USB means we gotta shove an Arduino Pro Micro inside it.
I have no idea why!
But it's USB supported so...
Steering wheel?!
Ayy whatever you want man!
There you go.
You know what?
How about two steering wheels?
3D printed?
Are you kid...
Ayyy 3D printed steering wheels!
DAAAH!
Controller... it's a little late for that.
Fidget... man you are just full of...
Well alrighty then!
We'll just add some counterweights here, here, here, here, here, here.
And that'll make the wheel spin like a mother...
I want this controller to be so fidgetty that it'll make any JRPG play like QWOP.
Gentlemen.
And ladies.
There's no ladies here.
I present you... the Fidget USB Controller of Kickassery!
I just like to let you know that this is practically a vintage by now.
A few more years, I can pay rent with this.
I can buy food with this thing!
Aw... the food I can buy with this thing...
I think these holes are too big.
There's nothing I can do about...
Spinny wheels go here and here.
Arduino USB is gonna come out from the top.
These buttons we're gonna keep.
These buttons we're going to try to keep.
Now, for the steering wheel, we need something that spins really fast.
I'm thinking something like a uh... frictionless rotary encoder, if that is a thing?
Twenty bucks?!
Are you kidding me?!
EVAN ANGRY!
EVAN SMASH!
AAAHHH!
WAIT!
These are not rotary encoders, they're just motors.
But if you spin them in one direction, you get voltage across the terminals.
And if you spin it in the other direction, you'll get the opposite voltage.
How fast you spin it is how big the voltage is going to be.
In other words...
Way too much work.
DAAAHHH!
See, the problem is, the motor's going to generate positive and negative voltages.
And the Arduino is going to work off of 0 to +5V.
We could just get an opamp.
Don't make me go get an opamp.
You're gonna make me get an opamp.
Let's go get an opamp.
This is a quad opamp.
Four opamps in one.
Which is the same one as the one we used in this video.
Wapow!
It's not clickable.
You have to use the card thing now.
Take our first opamp.
Give that a voltage divider half way between 5 and ground.
This is now 2.5.
Add a capacitor here for good luck.
Now the motor, is going to sit on this virtual ground and is buffered into another opamp
which then gets output to the Arduino.
So essentially, what we've done here, is create a DC offset halfway between 5 and 0 where
the motor now sits and swings between 0 and 5.
So now the Arduino can read both the positive and the negative outputs of the motor.
Just gonna let you pause the frame here, if you have to.
There.
Are you done?
Time's up!
Hmm... this could work.
Not too bad.
Let's map it to a joystick axis.
Ah... something doesn't feel right.
Okay I see the problem.
So when you spin it really really fast, it goes all the way up to the max value really
quickly.
But when you spin it really slowly, it hardly registers anything.
We need a function, that transforms the current motor output into something that's really
sensitive in the beginning but then it slows down as it reaches the max value.
Log x.
Shift that to the left.
Uhh... other left.
Let's make it curvier.
MORE.
Perfect.
Add that into the code.
Aww... so much better.
Okay, while you weren't watching, I drilled two more holes in the back of the controller,
here and here.
These holes are going to be replaced by these motor mounts which are going to fit in like
this.
And the motor sits on top like that.
There we go.
Now we just gotta take all this and put it into this.
This into this.
Oh, and also, I want to keep the original board in here because it has the start and
select buttons...
Oh hey there!
Why yes, I'd love to take a bullet in my head right now.
Now we go design the wheel.
Why am I even doing this?
Get a job.
Quit youtube.
Be a salesman.
Or a panda.
Or a panda hugger.
Aw, I'd kill to be a panda hugger right now.
Uh, hi.
My name is Earl, and I'm a 3D printer.
Let's get a little closer.
Bwa!
Huu... are you done?
Yoink!
Weee!
Where are my steel nuts?
I said, where are my nuts of steel?!
Oh... ah, here we go.
See, that wasn't so bad, was it?
Should've really bought that bullet.
Here we go, here we go.
Nope.
Nope.
AW!
See this controller is all about momentum.
ARRRR.
Nope.
Nonono get that.
Stay away.
Stay away.
Definitely prolongs the life of a game.
The games that I used to be good at, just isn't a thing anymore.
Let's make some CRAZY MONEY.
Pick up that lady...
BRAKE.
Come on.
No time for you!
JUMP.
How did I not make it?!

What is a PEO? - Duration: 2:37.
Hi I'm Sherri and I'm from Alpha Business Solutions. Today I wanted to share with
you a little bit of what we do in the office. We help small businesses to
medium-sized businesses find those solutions, so that they can be a success.
One way that we do that, is we are a broker to several PEOs. So what is a PEO?
A PEO is a Professional Employer Organization or Co-employer. So what that
co-employer does is they partner with a company, they provide the workers' comp
they provide the payroll, they provide HR, they provide possibly health and some
other ancillary benefits, they take care of that mundane work within the office.
It allows you to continue to do what you do best, what you're passionate about, why
you went into business. So a PEO would be a perfect solution for a company that is
just starting, a company that cannot find a stand-alone workers' comp policy, if
they've had a lot of claims, if they are so large and looking for a health care
option that is very concise, if they're looking for something that is going to
take stress off of their plate. We help provide that. We are brokers to several
PEOs. Now I live in the state of Florida and PEO was born here, actually in our
area. So we have a lot of PEOs, so where you live it may not be an option, but I
want to invite you, if you have questions about how we can help you succeed in
business by taking care of some of those components that are maybe dragging you
down, maybe give you back a weekend, maybe put some dollars back in your pocket so
that you can take that long awaited vacation. We want to see that
how we can help you succeed in doing that we're going to put the information
at the bottom of the screen here so that you can give us a call you can check out
our website. Make sure that we are legit because we are, and look forward to
working with you. Please don't hesitate to give us a call if you have questions,
we're more than willing to answer those questions if we can for you. Thanks have
a great day!

The Rookie: That Is Ridiculous #7 - Duration: 3:29.
That is ridiculous.
Thank you.
Hi Lasse.
Hi Thor.
Great to see you practicing.
I'm enjoying it.
Is it going well?
I think it's actually quite good.
Super.
Lasse, today we're going to work on a different shot.
We're gonna work on the chip shot.
So if you miss the green with your approach shot,
you need to be able to hit the next shot close to the pin.
Are you up for it?
I'm up for it.
Let's go do it.
Lasse I've put some balls here.
It's a basic chip we're gonna work on today.
Possibly the most important shot in golf, as you're gonna miss some greens.
It seems quite short for me, like I would use my putter anytime here.
But outside the green you need to be able to chip the ball.
Should I see what you've got?
Let's give it a try.
I can see why you wanna putt it.
Yeah, this doesn't work.
No.
The distance you hit the ball you control by how far you take the club back.
The shorter the shot, the less of a backswing you'll have.
I thought it was good.
Did you?
Whenever I have students who have too active hands, I use an alignment stick.
So I hold it like I normally would.
The minute I start getting too active with my hands, I'm gonna hit myself on the side.
So narrow starts.
A little bit of weight on your left foot.
And that's just a little bit.
Now try and swing the club.
Take the stick away.
That's ridiculous!
That is ridiculous!
Thank you!
This is my new favourite part.
Every time you practice something, you get a new favourite part!
Bunker shots are fun!
This might be my new favourite exercise.
I might get into the sport.
Fantastic Lasse.
Lovely day today Thor!
Beautiful.
Beautiful.
Potentially, if I wanna beat Thomas, how many should I..
He's gonna hole 3 out of 10.
And until now, I've holed 1 out of 50...
Okay Lasse, I think you've done really well with your chipping.
So I've set you a little challenge here.
If you 3 out of 15 inside a club-length, I'll buy you an ice-cream.
Alright!
That's a bad start.
Not happy with that!
I'm a little bit more happy - my ice-cream is starting to look better and better.
If I get this one, there's an ice cream for me.
Yeah, and if you don't?
OK, you get it...
You win.
Again.
Again.
Lasse, it's been a pleasure.
It's been good fun today.
Next time I'll beat you!
I'm sure you will.
I'm more concerned if you are gonna beat Thomas Bjørn!
Well, I still got a few weeks to go.

Paul Craig Roberts Predicts 2017! Is Bitcoin Standing In for Gold? - Duration: 5:00.
Is Bitcoin Standing In For Gold?
Paul Craig Roberts and Dave Kranzler
In a series of articles posted on www.paulcraigroberts.org, we have proven to our satisfaction that the
prices of gold and silver are manipulated by the bullion banks acting as agents for
the Federal Reserve.
The bullion prices are manipulated down in order to protect the value of the US dollar
from the extraordinary increase in supply resulting from the Federal Reserve's quantitative
easing (QE) and low interest rate policies.
The Federal Reserve is able to protect the dollar's exchange value vis-a-via the other
reserve currencies—yen, euro, and UK pound—by having those central banks also create money
in profusion with QE policies of their own.
The impact of fiat money creation on bullion, however, must be controlled by price suppression.
It is possible to suppress the prices of gold and silver, because bullion prices are established
not in physical markets but in futures markets in which short-selling does not have to be
covered and in which contracts are settled in cash, not in bullion.
Since gold and silver shorts can be naked, future contracts in gold and silver can be
printed in profusion, just as the Federal Reserve prints fiat currency in profusion,
and dumped into the futures market.
In other words, as the bullion futures market is a paper market, it is possible to create
enormous quantities of paper gold that can suddenly be dumped in order to drive down
prices.
Everytime gold starts to move up, enormous quantities of future contracts are suddenly
dumped, and the gold price is driven down.
The same for silver.
Rigging the bullion price prevents gold and silver from transmitting to the currency market
the devaluation of the dollar that the Federal Reserve's money creation is causing.
It is the ability to rig the bullion price that protects the dollar's value from being
destroyed by the Federal Reserve's printing press.
Recently, the price of a Bitcoin has skyrocketed, rising in a few weeks from $1,000 to $2,200.
Two explanations suggest themselves.
One is that the Federal Reserve has decided to rid itself of a competing currency and
is driving up the price with purchases while accumulating a large position, which then
will be suddenly dumped in order to crash the market and scare away potential users
from Bitcoins.
Remember, the Fed can create all the money it wishes and, thereby, doesn't have to
worry about losses.
Another explanation is that people concerned about the fiat currencies but frustrated in
their attempts to take refuge in bullion have recognized that the supply of Bitcoin is fixed
and Bitcoin futures must be covered.
It is strictly impossible for any central bank to increase the supply of Bitcoins.
Thus Bitcoin is standing in for the suppressed function of gold and silver.
The problem with cryptocurrencies is that whereas Bitcoin cannot increase in supply,
other cryptocurrencies can be created.
In order to be trusted, each cryptocurrency would have to have a limited supply.
However, an endless number of cryptocurrencies could be created that would greatly increase
the supply of cryptocurrencies.
If entrepreneurs don't bring about this result, the Federal Reserve itself could organize
it.
Therefore, cryptocurrency might be only a temporary refuge from fiat money creation.
This would leave gold and silver, whose supply can only gradually be increased via mining,
as the only refuge from wealth-destroying fiat money creation.
For as long as the Federal Reserve can protect the dollar by bullion price suppression and
money creation by other reserve currency central banks, and as long as the Federal Reserve
can keep the influx of new dollars out of the general economy, the Federal Reserve's
policy adds to the wealth of those who are already rich.
This is because instead of driving up consumer prices, thus threatening the US dollar's
exchange value with a rising rate of inflation, the Fed's largess has flowed into the prices
of financial assets, such as stocks and bonds.
Bond prices are high, because the Fed forced up the price by purchasing bonds.
Stock prices are high, because the abundance of money bid prices higher than profits justify.
As the US government measures inflation in ways designed to understate it, the consumer
price index and producer price index do not send alarm systems into the markets.
Thus, we have a situation in which the Fed's policy has done nothing for the American population,
but has driven up the values of the financial portofilios of the rich.
This is the explanation why the rich are becoming more rich while the rest of America becomes
poorer.
The Fed has rigged the system for the rich, and the whores in the financial media and
among the neoliberal economists have covered it up.
-------------------------------------------
ECONOMIC COLLAPSE ~ Why the 2017 Stock Market Crash Is Imminent - Duration: 12:25.
Recently, the US stock market has been in a state of euphoria.
Only this month, we have seen new record highs for the Dow, S&P, and the Nasdaq as well as
Amazon shares breaching the $1,000 mark for the first time and many other large tech companies
continuing their strong upward trajectory.
This continued upward trend may have come as a surprise to many investors as the US
economy added 138,000 jobs in May, according to the Labour Department, missing a consensus
estimate of 185,000 which would usually result in a slight retracement in US equities.
The question therefore arises, why has the market seemingly chosen to ignore negative
economic data in recent times?
The truth of the matter is that many believe the US economy is in a state of disrepair
from which it cannot recover and the overall demise of the world's largest economy is
inevitable.
Investor sentiment over recent times has become increasingly bearish with regards to the economy
and it is only a matter of time until all the warning signs manifest themselves and
drag the US economy into a recession, the likes of which has never been seen in our
lifetimes.
While the US economy's recovery from the 2008 recession has been very poor, the head
of the Federal Reserve, Janet Yellen, has desperately attempted to instil US consumers
and investors with confidence claiming that the "US economy is performing well" so
well in fact that she can justify beginning to increase interest rates from their artificially
low levels.
The rate hike at the end of 2016 was too little and was done too late to save the sinking
ship that is the US economy.
Ron Paul, former politician turned author, when asked about the Fed stated, "their
control is limited and all they are doing while attempting to manipulate the economy
is building bubbles and the setting stage for major corrections" adding that "Keynesian
economics doesn't work, inflationism and central banking doesn't work."
The Fed's desperation is clearly shown in figures presented by CNBC last summer: $12.3
trillion of money printing, nearly $10 trillion in negative-yielding global bonds, 654 interest
rate cuts since Lehman Brothers collapsed in 2008.
Ron Paul believes that President Trump will be blamed for the upcoming crisis even though
he is powerless to prevent it just as President Obama was not entirely to blame for the Great
Recession of 2008 and that instead the fault lies entirely with the Fed and the Keynesian
economics it uses in conjunction with its excessive spending and debt.
There are four alarming indications that the US economy is ripe for a major correction.
Unemployment and Fake News
The first sign which shows that the economy is not performing as well as the Fed is portraying
it to be is the disparity between the unemployment figures which are reported by the media and
the true values and the meanings behind unemployment figures.
On the surface, the unemployment figures from the end of 2016 appear positive however after
delving deeper into these figures it is clear that these figures have been reported in a
biased way in order to portray the economy as one which is recovering well.
The November 2016 job report stated that unemployment rate fell to 4.6% and 178k new jobs were created,
this simply isn't the case.
The unemployment rate doesn't include discouraged workers who are unable to find jobs and as
a result have stopped looking.
In addition, the jobs that were created are not what they seem.
The unemployment rate is down as a result of record numbers of people leaving the workforce
(increased by 446,000 in November 2016 to reach 95.1m).
The actual real unemployment rate taking this into account is estimated to be nearer to
9.3%.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics define the labor force participation rate as "the percentage
of the population that is either employed or unemployed (that is, either working or
actively seeking work)."
The current participation rate in the USA is 62.7% and continues to struggle.
The historical participation rate data is given below which shows that in October 2015
it reached 62.4%, the lowest recorded level since the 1970's.
Unemployment levels may be decreasing, but this isn't because the US economy is strong
and creating well paid, secure and skilled jobs rather what can be seen is a stagnation
of wage growth and an increase in demand for low paying part-time jobs.
Skyrocketing Household Debt
Another indicator that the US's economy is struggling is the crippling amount of debt
that consumers have.
More than 70% of the nation's GDP is from consumer spending, however, Americans are
now experiencing higher levels of debt than before the financial crash.
According to NerdWallet.com who have analysed Fed statistics, over the last decade US household
debt has soared 11% and now the average debt held per household is $134,643.
Total household debt (including mortgages, auto loans and student loans) nationwide now
equals $12.4 trillion, up from $11.7 trillion in 2010.
Sean McQuay, a personal finance expert at NerdWallet, has stated that the reason for
this increase in debt is the disparity in income growth and growth in expenses.
Median household income has grown 28% over the last 13 years, but expenses have outpaced
it significantly.
For example, medical costs have increased 57% while food and beverage prices have increased
by 37% in that same period.
It is for this very reason that 66 million Americans have no emergency savings and an
estimated 46 million receive food stamps.
Fatal Rate Hikes
Taking on more debt doesn't automatically translate to economic growth, low rates were
designed in principle to help kickstart the economy as banks offer cheap money so that
Americans can borrow, spend, and initiate the flow of money around the economy.
However, with recent rate hikes and more expected in the not too distant future so much debt
that was once so cheap due to low interest rates will begin to cripple borrowers as interest
rates begin to increase.
The quarter-percentage-point increase in the federal funds rate in March this year will
cost consumers roughly $1.6bn in extra finance charges in 2017, according to a WalletHub
analysis.
The average 30-year fixed rate mortgage is now about 4.38 percent — steadily moving
further from the record low of 3.50 percent in December 2012 which may seem relatively
insignificant but for a nation who are already facing higher costs of living the impact will
be substantial.
After years of artificially low interest rates, the Fed has finally begun to raise them albeit
extremely slowly, but this decision should have happened a lot sooner.
Recent rate hikes are seen as a vote of confidence for the US economy, but the USA still faces
many global headwinds such as weak global economic conditions, high household debts
and a lack of high-paying jobs in its economy.
Stock Markets Fail to Live Up to the Hype
The final and in my opinion the greatest factor indicating that a massive market correction
is about to take place is the fact that US stocks/equity is greatly overvalued.
Many investors believe current high stock prices are a result of a bubble which the
Fed is largely responsible for (Trump has also stated that he is aware of this).
In my opinion, the current bull market was born out of frustration as the Fed took income
out of fixed income investments when it introduced the first round of quantitative easing and
gutted interest rates.
Four rounds of quantitative easing and artificially low interest rates have decimated the retirement
plans of those who rely on fixed income investments such as bonds to provide steady income as
returns continued to hover around the 0%.
As a result, the only place left for investors to park their capital was the stock market,
resulting in stock prices increasing over the last several years despite weak earnings
and revenue growth.
The current bull market is the second longest in history with valuations reaching "nosebleed
territory".
According to the CAPE ratio (also known as the Shiller P/E ratio) which is commonly used
to value the market, the S&P 500 is extremely overvalued.
The current ratio of 30.1 is 79.2% higher than the historical mean of 16.8 and has only
been surpassed twice in history, once in 1929 (reached 32.6) and the other was just before
the dot come bubble in 1999 where it reached an all-time high of 44.2.
This means for every dollar of earnings a firm currently makes, investors are willing
to shell out $30.1 dollars to own it.
Some sources believe that the S&P is overvalued by as much as 72% . Another ratio which reinforces
this theory is the market capitalisation to GDP ratio also known as Warren Buffet indicator.
100% on this ratio means stocks are relatively fairly valued but the current level is 128.9%
(only been higher twice since 1950, in 1999 it came in 153% and in late 2015 it was at
129.7%).
To put the potential meaning of these figures into context, the level was only at 108% before
the 2008 crisis.
In an interview Warren Buffet did in December 2001, he stated that "For me, the message
of that chart is this: If the percentage relationship falls to the 70% or 80% area, buying stocks
is likely to work very well for you.
If the ratio approaches 200%-as it did in 1999 and a part of 2000 – you are playing
with fire."
A Word on Cryptocurrencies
In my opinion, this bearish view regarding the US economy is becoming increasingly widespread
and this has been shown by the rapid increase in the value of cryptocurrencies.
Investors are clearly rejecting the greenback as a store of value in international markets
and instead are pumping large amounts of capital into various cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin is the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation with a $34bn market cap (which
has doubled in the last three months) and by far the most well-known however the growth
in the other three largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalisation have been more impressive.
Ethereum three months ago went from a market cap of $1.12bn to $15.7bn (an increase of
13x in 3 months).
Ripple currently has a $12.9bn market cap (three months ago it's market cap was $205m,
an increase of 60 times).
Finally, NEM's market cap rose from $56.8m three months ago to currently being $2.38bn
(an increase of 20x).
Conclusion
We are living in a very unstable world at the moment, both economically and politically,
and evidence suggests that these challenging times will continue.
However, there is always opportunity in adversity.
By carefully planning and executing an appropriate strategy, one may be able to profit from these
exceedingly uncertain times.

Paul Craig Roberts ! The Gold Market is Rigged. Central Bank Intervention Serves the One Percent - Duration: 2:58.
Central Bank Intervention Serves The One Percent
Paul Craig Roberts
The crooks who run the Western financial system set up the gold market in a way that lets
them control the price.
Gold is not priced in the physical gold market where bullion is bought and sold.
Gold is priced in a futures market where uncovered contracts that are settled in cash are bought
and sold.
As the futures contracts do not have to be covered in the way that shorting a stock has
to be covered, the bullion bank agents of the central banks can create paper gold by
printing naked contracts.
In other words, it is possible to inflate the supply of gold in the market in which
the gold price is determined by dumping futures contracts on the market.
The huge increase in supply of paper gold drives down the futures price of gold.
This Western policy is stupid, because it drives down the price of real gold for the
major Asian purchasers—China, India, and Turkey.
But the policy protects the value of the US dollar by preventing a rising gold price that
would show the growing lack of confidence in fiat paper currencies.
The European, UK, and Japanese central banks have protected the US dollar's exchange
rate vis-a-vis other reserve currencies by indulging in quantitative easing themselves.
With all fiat currencies inflating, the exchange rates stay relatively stable.
The central banks prevent the rise in the price of gold by printing paper gold for the
paper gold market.
It is my view that bitcoin is the beneficiary of this rigging of the prices of gold and
fiat currencies.
Bitcoin cannot increase in supply, and bitcoins are not priced in future markets that permit
naked shorts.
Dave Kranzler explains today's central bank takedown of gold.
In order to protect their own irresponsible and probably illegal behavior, the central
banks are committed to a policy that frustrates the efforts of people to find refuge in gold
from fiat paper currency inflation.
The policy of the central banks proves that the elite work assiduously against the interest
of the people.
Why do people tolerate the central banks which only serve the One Percent?
Thomas Jefferson understood that as did President Andrew Jackson, but in the Western World insouciance
has replaced intelligence.
The One Percent know what they are doing.
The 99 Percent are locked up in The Matrix.
Here is Kranzler's clear explanation of the rigging of gold markets by central banks.
Of course, nothing whatsoever will be done about the crimes as they are crimes against
the helpless 99 Percent, a collection of "deplorables."
Who cares about them?
Certainly no Western government.
