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?

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 b...

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??)

Update: I will work on lowering m...

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.

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 =)

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.

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 n...
