Joe, what I can see is 30 or something like that. What is that? There's LibreOffice in the background, okay, but we don't care because I tried to make the resolution work properly and it didn't work because I'm using Linux. Since I don't spend enough money on my equipment, it doesn't work when I need it. Maybe I should plug in my presentation stick. Oh, it always takes like 10 seconds to synchronize. Relax, okay, it's under control. I'm totally not going to talk about it, Italian hand gestures. I want to talk about global warming. But before talking about global warming, I would like to ask, can we make the air conditioning a bit cooler? It's really warm in here, and I might start sweating when I talk, and you might think I'm some creepy football player or a pawn shop owner or something.

Anyway, I came to Italy by train this time. I confess I'm guilty of contributing to global warming because I've done hundreds of flights to basically unnecessary locations because they are cheap and affordable, and you can fly there in one hour. It's so easy to do. Sometimes you have to get to places, and it's important. But honestly, I made a bet with Emily; she came from Berlin by plane, and I came by train. It took me 10 hours and 31 minutes, including getting from my house to the train station. It took you about five hours, right? So, it seems like it takes 18 hours to get to Italy by plane.

The thing is—and I don't want to be that super politically correct vegan instructor telling you to stop flying—but honestly, I took the train, and it was such a relaxing experience. I had to change the train once, and we were a little bit delayed, but everything still worked out. The thing is, when you fly, you're actually wasting hours of your day getting to the airport, getting through security, unpacking your stuff all the time. You're basically wasting time. On the train, I could sleep, talk to people, and work on my slides—not the presentation, just the slides—and it was actually fantastic.

It's important to keep in mind that it's not an achievement to get a really cheap Ryanair flight. It's like, 'Oh yeah, I got this €9.99 flight from, I don’t know, Girona to Poznan. It’s very cool.' I got a present for two days? This is not an achievement. You're subject to a multi-billion dollar company that is actually in the top ten in Europe for carbon dioxide emissions, like Ryanair. Great job! By getting this cheap ticket and going somewhere, you're basically being orchestrated by a transnational beast that is orchestrating people to buy flights and raise their profits at the cost of our beautiful environment.

I mean, I know climate change is not happening. It's like a Jewish-Nazi-Communist conspiracy from Russia, and Trump revealed it. Speaking about orchestration, today I want to give a presentation about stuff we've been working on. Actually, I realized that the background is a little bit moving right, so I had to ask. If you look here, it's moving, and it’s okay; you don't have to take pills; it's fine; we all see it.

So I'm going to speak a lot about state machines and work because we've been working on using advanced concepts from other programming languages, combining them with advanced concepts from Ruby, and basically raising the bar for business code in Ruby. This is what I want to talk about. But before we dive into that, of course, we have to learn the essential Italian gesture; I would like every Italian in this room to help me. Can you please all do this with one hand? If you ask an Italian, what does this mean? They will say it means 'together.' So I figured that it basically means 'everything.'
