What's going on everyone Sam here with late in sports car dripping two boxes of 2022 Bowman Sterling baseball hobby for Steven J So good luck here Steven. Let's rip some pretty new product right here. I'd say it's about a week and a half ish old now You looking for autos of guys like L.A. De La Cruz George Valera Khalil Watson a lot of big prospects as well as some rookies. There's wander in here. There is Who else I'm trying to think pretty much everybody who like a lot of the big names in 22 Bowman are getting like their second On-card autos. I would say which is pretty cool. So let's do it You're looking at 10 autos for this break here. So good luck Steven. Let's believe something big man I want to see a super come out of this or a red or someone of one a lot of a vet autos in this to trout Scott autos Bado Freeman Soto the Acunha brothers Your Bell and Halle's Speaking of the Acunha brothers. We got a Brian Acunha a nice one there on the base rookie auto or base prospect auto I should say nice one there congrats Steven Baby Acunha Jay Allen Colton Couser and Curtis me Reeve us. That's Jake Myers. We've got L.A. De La Cruz boom Refractor 120 out of 150 men great first two packs There he is man nice Ellie That is awesome Ellie De La Cruz Literally two of the guys we were talking about we pulled very nice take that all day long Louis heel rookie and hunter green rookie nice Crave fantastic start. I have to say right here fantastic start so far See I'm predicting a George Valera George Valera base auto in this pack See if I'm right Compos Henry Davis Jordan virus on the prospect auto. That's going to the Phillies Nice Phillies hit there Jordan virus We've got Colton Welker and Joe Ryan on your rookies that over a little bit. All right next pack Vaughn, I saw your order come in. I'm pretty pumped pretty pumped to rip some corkings I got to be got to be honest with you here Mall in on that You're being a yeety cap a Alex Pinellis that's going to the Red Sox on the prospect auto So the difference between this on the prospect and the rookie autos the prospect will look like that the rookie will have Basically like that same white space, but it'll have the RC in the bottom left the RC guys are in the MLB The prospects without the RC are still prospects. They're not in the MLB yet per se Francisco Alvarez Luciano and Connor wall Classic little Vaughn order with those two. Oh, yeah revolution and corkings classic Vaughn for sure a classic Vaughn I'm gonna drop you guys the link to our personal boxes again Again, if you guys are interested in picking up a personal box, there it is Still plenty of room. I mean we're going until We're going until three today. So plenty of room to get in got a gold coming up here Frelik John Kenzie Noel gold Ellie Dela Cruz Boom There you go Steven man.

That was so awesome plenty of Ellie De La Cruz coming your way So get those right out to you buddy


Welcome everyone. It's Jenkins governance meeting. This is the 31st of October 2022. Thanks for being here. And topics on the agenda that I've got action items. Elections. CDF topics if all joins us antler two to antler for progress report by Basel. And forum and community topics by Gavin and Gavin I put a couple of items in there. That if you're not comfortable with them I can talk to them as well. Anything else that needs to go on the agenda. Okay, then let's let's run with it so this Wednesday. Two days two days from now we're expecting the release of 2.361.3. And then we're I guess another item here is LTS baseline selection for the next for the next LTS is not yet complete so we're late on that one. There are discussions ongoing in the, in the developer in the developer mailing list, choosing between 2.375 or possibly even 376 or a much older version discussions ongoing. Any other news items that should be highlighted. Oh, Gavin. Yes. There's more community stuff, but the Twitter RSS thingy the releases RSS is now live again. Oh, so what was the fix there that's great congratulations fixed by by the infra team or yeah, we found a tool that we can run ourselves that takes in an RSS feed and spits out Twitter posts, which I'm thinking would be used on the blog as well. Yeah. Nice. And does it, does it do open graph images as well how what's the literally just has the title of the post and the link to the post. Okay. I think her made changes to make it more customizable so we could probably do more stuff, but essentially yeah it doesn't actually like create a nice card or anything it just does the link and the link has open graph. Excellent. Okay. Thank you. Thanks to everybody. Very good. Any other news items and the newsletter because I don't think I just found out of the thing a couple weeks ago and I think it's really cool. I don't yeah can you give some more background on that assembled by Alyssa right. Yep, you're right. Yeah I don't know anything else about it other than existed and it was neat. I don't know if I even read it yet. I don't know where to find it. And I forgot about it. So now, if you want the link I can send it of course, and it's supposed to be out the first week of each month. So definitely we have to work on that this week. There's still your part I think Mark. You have some things. Yes, but it's called like this meeting you know Jenkins governs. So I think you could fit it in after the meeting. So probably get it put on Jenkins.io slash newsletter, or something very short easy to remember. I thought she was publishing community Jenkins.io is that not where it's going Bruno. No, it's going as a blog post in Jenkins.io. Okay. Oh good. Okay. Put in the chapter link to the document if you want to edit it. Thank you. Is that that's not that's a draft for the next newsletter. It's continuous document you know so there is a previous newsletter and then we have the draft for the one which is about to come. And I'm supposed to transform that into an eski document and then make a pull request on Jenkins.io. For the sake of when we post this we should also get the actual link to the last one so that someone can go view the last one somewhere. Good yeah thank you. Okay. For the for the blog post. Very good. Any other right so I can and I think I can find it even now if we've got just a minute if it was posted as a blog post it's easy to find. So, yes here it is good. Okay. I don't slash tag slash newsletter. There. Right. Well that's the one but it's probably better to link to the tag. Oh right because there is. Is there a tag I don't know. Let me update the thing for you keep going. Okay, great. Thanks. Hello. Any other news items for me. Okay. Next topic then action items. Am I readable.  Sorry, it was me. And any any other items in the news section. Well, you're probably. So, yeah, for Kubecon. Yeah, there was CDF for some into there. One of key highlights that there was a major press release by the continuous delivery foundation. So, key points of this release tick tone graduation. Per se, joining the CDF and also CD events, zero dot one release. In the community standpoint, one of the important items, easy to events because you have cloud events plugin and maybe it makes sense to actually update. Maybe I will be spending some time in the coming months for that. Unexpectedly I got a bit more time than I planned. But yeah. And the last is pierced adoption. So basically, what is important for the ecosystem so I can bet that JFrog will be updating the factory plugin to support pierced to, and probably a few, a few more patches so stated for turbulence. But yeah. And you had mentioned one that I missed or like there was a new member. There was a pitch set two times. So you missed it in the beginning so I repeated it later. Okay, the menus. Okay, so per se is now a member of the CDF. Yeah, it's a project as a project of the CDF right okay got it. Thank you. Okay. Great. Yes, I guess that's all about the news. All right. Any news from others before we go on. Okay, next topic then action items. Three we've got community Jenkins that IO for the docs mailing list, no progress but I'm back from vacation so there's a better chance of progress than there was two weeks ago. Easy CLA, like anything you want to share there. Really, but these will be definitely my next item. Great. Okay. And then we had an open question. Gavin reminded reminded me that we've had questions several questions come in in various places in the community about multiple application servers like Tom cat or web sphere or glassfish or you name it. Right now we have as far as we can tell no core developers are actively using Tom cat or, or, or other web containers other than the web container that we ship on our own. And so the thought was should we create a support page similar to the window support page and Linux support pages that we have now, which says tier one support is the windstone container. And tier two is things that will accept patches for we don't promise will work. And, and then tier three unsupported is things that the provider of the container does not support. There is some complications with that because if we talk about the web containers that are Java based, they behavior significantly depends on the version of Java you run. So for example, when we were releasing Java 11 support for Jenkins. We did some testing for Apache Tomcat, I believe, and for build fly. So this is what we've tested. But just to be clear, even acceptance test harness framework is not really that great. And for catching issues there. So potentially you can use a sentence test harness framework or PCT or customer work package or test if any of them left launch with another web container and see what's going on, but we have exactly zero test automation and now existing pipelines for that. So, I would rather ask her question for the recent Java versions is do we want to support anything beyond JT for let's say Java 17 and above valid question and I think I think I'm biased toward the answer being no. But that's that seems like that's the same class of of no as other other Linux variants that we don't test and validate. It's, it's a platform where would we reject a poll request that propose to fix something on behalf of one of these web containers we don't test. I suspect in the average case we would not reject it, but we're not testing it for sure. Yeah, so, and the. So how much of an issue that could be well. And I would rather just call in the community and ask if anyone wants this support and ready to step up and maintain that. There has been a lot of chatter about Tom cat. I think wild plot wild play on the forums the last month or so a lot of people having issues. Some going back a lot longer than that so it's it's you know if that's like a slice of what people are actually using. Then I think enough people using it to make a fuss but I don't know who would be maintaining it. That's what I'd like this idea is where we say, when stone is level one. Anything we can set up automated testing for is level two, we could put a note saying we have no automated testing just could, and anything we won't support our tests at all. You know, it's proprietary or spend cost money or something is level three. And I don't even think we need a giant chart for that we could just literally say, you know, we only test with Winston or something like that and that could be good enough. Right. Because right now it's very hard for me to say on the forums we like, yep, we don't support Tom cat good luck, because you were like older the work around they're like, we don't support Tom cat good luck. Well it's not good luck we supported for Java 11. If you want to go with Java 17. Still a lot of issues with Tom cat on recent versions. So this way, I'm very system about supporting that it's basically a kind of warms, all kinds of liability, compatibility, because we still have libraries, which are Jenkins runtime and which Tom cat around time and they're set different. So for Java 11, it was kind of pain but at least the project was updating at the same time to support Java 11, the way it behind Jenkins. No. So my vote is update the system requirements page and say, we only regularly test with Winston anything else is community supported and is best effort by community members, or something like that just because I want something to be able to point to say, you know, at one point, because at one point Tom cat was used quite heavily, maybe not recommended but use quite heavily and then when that change. There is no, there's nothing really to point at to say hey, we don't we don't have the people anymore to test this. So, oh, like, does that I guess we I think that's a good for me that's a good proposal to say what we test. Right. That may not be a that may not be as definitive as the support page but saying what we test is a good way of being open about the reality of what we are testing and what we aren't. Well, we did basically the same for the things like Windows, Internet Explorer, Windows browser, even Java, I believe Java distributions. But historically what we supported was what some of the vendors used to distribute this. So basically the vendors, which we distributed Jenkins and we're willing to commit the resources to maintain this particular platforms and support. In the community we basically floated along with this policy which makes total sense, because there is nobody ready to support it then. Okay. So if we want to do the same for web containers, I'm perfectly fine. The biggest problem would be some of the deployments because it's hard to run Jenkins and corporate environments if a particular web container is mandated. So let's see. Yeah, but given the given the main takeaway of this speech problem detour, but yeah, I'm fine with it. Okay. Sorry. All right, so Internet Explorer. Non support statement. It's well actually let me let's how about as a as a draft let me propose a poll request we use that for discussion because I think it's worthwhile for us to have that discussion and just see hey what are the what are the concerns or the issues. I do really like a leg sentence about what God now can I remember it. We only we only maintain the one web container, but vendors are welcome to step up and support other containers that they use it for commercial purposes, or something like that because, you know, I think you want to clear on like, I think we want to put heavy push and nudges on people to contribute. I've liked Mark's comments about like getting very aggressive with people like if you want to use TFS, your company should donate resources because we're not fixing it. You know, it's the same sort of thing I think we should be really heavy handed about saying we only support the one because we only have so many people. And any more than that we're expecting vendors, maintainers for Yes, I like that. Okay. Anything else on the application server support matrix topic. Yeah, I wanted to mention about Tom cat the only specific thing that I know that we once supported that we no longer support is wanting to different Jenkins controllers in the same Tom cat process. That's a clear example of something that we used to support that we no longer do. However, I am not aware of any other case where something used to work and no longer works. There was, you know, an example where people were configuring their Jenkins home inside of Tom cat a certain way. And we dropped support for that in favor of the Java argument. But once you use the Java argument you can still do what you were doing for so. There's a lot of people to do what they need to do. And some of the links that I've seen about people having trouble with other web containers seems to be user error, in the sense of some people are trying to use the Jenkins war file with a web container that is using the Jakarta imports rather than the Java X imports. And so that's, that's just a matter of using the wrong version of the servlet container. I don't have any documentation for this because it's not supported but this could be a good way for people who are interested in contributing to start by just documenting okay if you want to use Tom cat it has to be this version because that's the version that's compatible with our servlet API version, etc. Yeah, and this goes a long way in starting that direction where we actually say hey. If you want more support, start adding it, you know, because we, I didn't know any of that stuff and I think that is really the answer to a lot of the questions that came up, especially the Java home stuff that you were, or not Jenkins home stuff that people are starting with I just didn't know that was a change. So, I think documentation would go a long way but that isn't documentation that any of us could provide if we're not actively using that certainly container, but it would be great to have contributions from people who are using the and documentation will be a great place to start I think, because I think for the most part, it should be doable. If you pick the right version and if you configure the home directory in the right way should be possible to use Jenkins on just about any servlet container. Like I said with that one exception of we don't want we no longer supporting multiple Jenkins controllers and one and one Tom can instance. So that's really the only that's really the only thing that we actually just don't support. And that's that's fairly intentional. So yeah, that's all I have. Thank you. Thanks very much. Any other topics anything other other points on application server support. Nope. Okay. Next topic then is elections. Log post has been has been made made visible it's available it came out on the 20th talking about the phases of the election, etc. voter registration has started and will continue for another two and a half weeks, then voting and was then followed by results Gavin and Evelina are both on the board up for reelection, all officers so infra doc security, etc, are all up for reelection events. And there's a link that Gavin you had included to Damien's proposal. I assume that the blog post superseded the proposal. That wasn't my link. I don't know where it came from. Okay, all right, good. So I can just delete that then. Thanks. It happened being the notes and I wasn't sure of its source. Any, any topics there on elections hotspots. I was thinking about it. Do we want to, I mean, I know when Mark came on board and to some degree when I came on board, there was some transition issues or trying to figure out where and how and what to do. Do you think there's any point in and where would be writing up some sort of like, make sure someone or board members have access to the board mailing list and have a min access there and expensive by and I don't know what else. Good. Yeah, I think that's a good point. Access to mailing list expensive by to GitHub groups, the infra and the CNCI board groups. I don't know what else we actually do, but it might be worth writing this down. One right. Yeah, then there's things for offices as well like make sure that such a social access is given and the security officer in particular have access to lots of very sensitive stuff and it's probably a good idea let's capture that. I hope we persuade both of them to be nominated to get the current officer to be nominated again but but one way or the other it's healthy for us to describe what are the things that we need to be sure they they have access. Anything to say if they're nominated anyone can nominate anyone right or you're right sorry that's correct I hope they will accept the nomination that I made. Good point. Anything else on elections. Okay. Next topic then with CDF topics. Oh like anything that you wanted to share there. Well, not really. So, yeah, there will be a governing board meeting in the middle of November. It wasn't due to some reasons. So, no clear follow ups now. Yeah, I do have some private news but I will share it with the team later. But basically that's it. Great. All right, thank you. Also, since we are since I see most of them below, no news on LFX things need to chat. The, the signing thingy. Oh, yeah. So, for LFX community, which is also baby weekend. There is some time for us to decide whether we move out or not as a foundation. So I guess the design would be January or February. So new board issue. Oh, like I'm not sure I'm understanding the LFX LFX community topic. Do you want to give more details? Oh baby. Oh, I'm sorry. Right. So there should be little to no impact on Jenkins. Yes, I create a chapter there we tried to host a few webinars basically hit the wall with some of the issues because of the pricing plan. Taking the limitations we discovered the burn makes sense to precede. Yeah. And yeah, there is no solution for charts or Twitter replacements for offer by the links foundation. That is a point that Bruno brought up later further down. Yeah, that's this master down thing. Yeah. Because I was going to say like the same thing with matrix is they're all designed to be self hosted. And one of the issues is namespaces. So, like, we getting a master down account is easy. You can get it on any of the number thousands and thousands of servers, but I'm wondering if links foundation has any intention of running a CDF or Linux foundation mastodon for their projects relative easy thing to set up for post office hours. It wouldn't be a SAS per se it's like would be a Twitter type thing right. Yeah, so it's basically distributed. Yeah, everyone hosts their own location and that is just whatever central registry. So something like, you know Jenkins at Linux foundation that I owe makes love or Linux, I don't know domain is makes a lot more sense than you know, Linux at mastodon the chat, you know, okay. Yeah. So the last is basically the question of how we hosted. What is the price of this hosting in principle I'm not against the master don't for sure. It's a master down itself is a Rails app so it needs the database and the weather. It's a pretty tiny little ask. And it also brings up the whole like matrix issue. I was going to go make up a space which is a like a collection of rooms in matrix, and someone's already claimed Jenkins that matrix that I owe. I will go to harass them when the time comes to actually try to get it back, but it's just thinking that you know this might be one of those things where it'd be nicer to have an official naming of things and Jenkins that Linux foundation be a lot nicer than things that matrix. Yeah, or Jenkins that CD foundation.  Oh, that's all I'm bringing up is this might be things like they're relatively small things that I'm sure even the element team could host matrix one or, you know, Linux foundation to easily spin up a VPS with master down on it. It's pretty easy to launch. So, just things that we should probably bring up at some point. Okay. Linux foundation is easier operating isn't. Yes. I mean if you want to launch your service at the Linux foundation scale you definitely need some time commitment from the foundation. Yeah, but like if the masses on one was only for Linux foundation projects and not users, then it would be a lot smaller scale. But yeah, it's not something I'm going to bring up. I'm talking about it. Yeah, arguably there would be no difference from community to Jenkins the tailman. I mean no practical difference. Right, we could even run on now. Right. Okay. Any other CDF topics. Let's go on to Antler two to Antler for Parkers for quote, muscle. Yeah, so in the last two weeks. Alex Earl and I have been co authoring a change to complete this task, and it was merged yesterday towards this weekly release with that became close to ticket and declare success on this task. It's about all I have. Yeah, one question about. So the threat and the budgeting request, taking this pull request the way do we stand there do we want to proceed with the budget request or do we put it on hold. Well the task is complete so. Okay. Yeah, so budget budget request is is no longer needed right because because we believe the transition is complete now the, the next. Yes, unless the next LTS chooses 2.376. It will be another three months before, before this happens but this was not a particularly crucial thing for the, for the Java 11 or Java 17 right basal it's for next Java releases. But anything else on the Antler two to Antler for progress thanks basal very much for doing that and special thanks to Alex Earl for doing it. All right, next topic then was forums and community topics Gavin. Yeah. So I'm just looking at the notes because I don't have any of the farms have been really support heavy the last couple of months. So there's not really anything interesting to bring up. So yeah, October fist fest is today. I really liked the, the stats of jam. Day of Mama has been posting. It's really kind of cool how many people are doing, you know the first PR is ever with Jenkins. I don't know where last thought I think advocacy channel just listen there. October channel. Yeah, but it's still a large percentage of people who have never submitted to open source before have done a lot of work in Jenkins so it's really nice to see. So I guess it's mostly because of October fest, or do you see large scale contributors joining. Jam stats are really only about October fest things have been labeled October fest and things that happen this month, so I don't know if there's a technically distinction, I think any PR, you know, we pull this label the October fest is considered that. And so as far as I understand the, the October fest rules it's eligible for October fest counting. If the repository is has the topic October fest, or the pull request has the label October fest or October fest accepted and so many of our repositories are have the topic October fest and so all all submissions to those repositories count. Yes, it's definitely more than probably truth, you know because people are submitting things that are not part of the program but it's still good numbers for the month. I was, I was really pleased with this visit to Oleg to your question this graph that's maintained by the Linux foundation for us shows a nice boost of from about 640 in at the end of September to over 700 at the end of October, as their result of contributing developers to the Jenkins repositories in total. Now I think that number is actually quite a bit lower than john marks number I think he sees on the order of 100 independent developers that he could see we're submitting October fest submissions but their numbers say at least 60 of those are are new and had never may have never contributed before. It's encouraging. Yeah, so he blast posted on Wednesday I found it. There's 535 eligible for October fest by 111 different contributors. Among those. That's great. Among those 535 years are hacked or fast complete marriage reply just accepted. They were submitted by 89 contributors with 35 qualifying for swag just from the Jenkins contribute contributions, which I assume is just, there are 35 people who submitted for with exactly that. They did for four plus pull requests that were accepted or yeah that were accepted as eligible. Great. That's really cool. Super thanks. I had put this number in just because I've been interested in pipeline graph you Gavin and I have had conversations about blue ocean and pleased to see that some months it's gone up by 100 installations per month. And it's done that for the last several last two or three months done very nicely so pipeline graph you plug in gives us hope that blue oceans not the only way to visualize pipelines in in Jenkins. It's working great for me and it's running on CI Jenkins.io. It, it's quicker than blue ocean. It renders very well. Nice feel. I've actually been thinking I might submit a PR to it to add notifications so that you could, you could like have a checkbox on the bottom of the page that says notify me when this bill this is done, or like per build or even per project. Because that was one of the ones I have for one of my old plugins that I don't necessarily want to maintain and it'd be nice to add it to this thing. Cool. So, next topic then was raised by Bruno Bruno you that should we get a mastodon account for Jenkins. Yes, because it has been also crazed on Twitter these days with purchase of Twitter lots of people I follow are going on mastodon. And so I did that also today. I'm not leaving Twitter but I have mastodon count just in case and I also experienced the cross posting, you know, I just set up something with a website that cross post whenever I tweet something it goes then on mastodon. So, I was just wondering if it was too early or just to see the idea to move Jen, not to move but to have a master on account for Jenkins. Yeah, I've been doing that for years the same thing. I'm thinking as action items for this. Someone either someone from the board or someone from infra to talk to one of the master and hosts about maybe getting a sponsored install for Jenkins, which I also think we should probably do for matrix as well. Okay. So, Gavin, you want me to put that on you as an action item. I can do it. I just don't know if it should be Damian who does it. I see right valid point. Okay, so that's it's it makes sense it's either you or Damian. Yes, so I think we can assign that to Gavin or Damian and then make a decision. Okay, good. All right. Gavin or Damian. Good. Okay, I think you do the same for matrix as well. Oh, yes, I sure can. You bet. All right. Then we don't have namespace issues we can have, you know, we can have a newsletter at made at Macedon we can have releases at Macedon. We don't have to worry about trying to claim namespaces early that way so I'm going to move this is done writing. Good. Okay. Oh, I'm in the wrong place aren't I there. Okay. Got it. Okay. Yeah, so I just did a quick Google search and there are post solutions for both. So I think it's worth reaching out. I don't know if we want to pay big money for them but a benefit to small monthly costs that we might be able to put a budget. Good. All right. Any other topics on forums and any other items on forums and community topics. I think the new hosting crews doing really well, brother up last meeting, but Alex B is is just owning this and answering all the hosting requests and both Alex's are improving the process quite a bit updating documentation upgrading the IRC bot. It's a lot smoother than when Tim and I were doing it part time so thank you okay so thanks to both of them. Any other topics. The only other things I was going to point out were things I mentioned the newsletter but and I don't remember I mentioned last week but accounts that Jenkins has gotten not only a facelift but a cleanup. So it should be a little bit more reliable. I'm just putting the newsletter more about the facelift itself but I think short of email I think we could probably make email more reliable too. And that should probably because we've been putting it off because we thought we were switching to the other service that I can't remember the name of and that doesn't seem to ever happen so it might be worth just fixing up accounts So between Tim, Alex and myself we got it deployed by you know doctor container CI Tim did a lot of it. See I the UI is fixed. Yeah. Yeah, and I've got to show it. I'm, I'm so pleased. Thank you very much for what you did it's notice what's going to appear at the top notice how there's a top bar on that thing. And it's like the rest of the site and oh no that's your footer. I got to fix that. Oh, okay. I confess I was truly delighted to see this because accounts that Jenkins that I always this long long term thing oh we're never going to be done with it. Thank you very very much wiki Jenkins that I have the same thing now to right right although I like wiki Jenkins that I owe because of what it. But it shows as the, as the top level. Let's see if I can find one sample page. Oh the one that it shows it shows this one this content is deprecated, and it shows Jenkins time. Yeah. Yeah, I think we're going to go into more details on the newsletter but it's worth mentioning. Great. Thank you. Any other topics. General thank you to everyone who's been stepping up on the community pages. I know Alex and Bruno have been helping out quite a bit. I've slowly slowed down I get exhausted by answering all the support tickets and I love to see everyone else step up and I can step in once in a while instead of burn myself out answering things so. Yeah, by the way, given where are you the one who created the template to answer the same question we got regularly. Oh, thank you. Thank you so much. I think I think I crowdsourced it early on but yeah. That being said it did just change. So it might be worth at the end of the video showing that off. Because we can make it easier for people to submit changes and ideas and posts and stuff. Yeah. Great. Thank you. Anything else Gavin. But if we're when we're done I'm going to get you to demo real quick. Oh, good. Well, so you do want to go ahead and do that now do you want to do it on the recorded session or do it after. Yeah, on the record session. All right, I think we're done then. Cool. Can you go to community Jenkins that I go to categories. So community Jenkins.io. And categories. Yeah, so I don't know where they put it because I don't use this view, but you know, like, they added a new templates category and put all the templates in there. So instead of it being like hidden in deep and menus. Okay, probably be at the bottom. Yeah, templates. Oh, okay. Any, any top level posts in this forum so all five of those are considered can responses. You can reply to them people can actually it's open to right now this category open to anyone we can lock it down or open it up, but you can reply to them say hey can we change this that kind of thing. We can actually give it's all category management so it's now easier to give out access to people who can post new ones or edit old ones that kind of thing used to be this really hacky groupie thing. We can probably delete that one the last one. Well but no one's using it so yeah that's. But it should be a lot easier to add more of them now because I know I think Mark made the Linux transition one, which is very nice it was just easy for us to just do it. But yeah, so this is very easy for people to add more do, and I encourage people to add more do because at some point it's getting frustrating to answer the exact same questions over and over again so. Well, and I find this no valid crumb is a very common, common occurrence and saying hey, go do this and it nice. Yeah. So I didn't make that one I don't know who did but I'm very happy they did. No, maybe I did. I haven't yet used any one of them. So it's just a copy paste, or I easier than that. Mark, do you want to go to reply to something. Sure. Yeah, so let's let's go look at let's take one. And you don't have to actually apply just hit the reply button.  Oh, and they're eggs now. That's cool. Oh, oh, nice. Okay. This was a week, a couple days, seven days ago, according to the, you can take one and then the button on the right that said paste, and it'll paste in it'll properly fill out. And now it shows that you had answered it. Yeah, great. Yeah, they're nice and easy. It's a really good night's feature of discourse. If you hit close market will ask you to. Yeah, it and I'm going to discard we don't want to do that answer there. Yeah. So I encourage people to submit more of them. I don't know currently who has access to write to that category but it's very easy to change someone who has wants access to it. So. Yeah, thank you. And if I get time to come to an advocacy meeting I'll do the same discussion then if it happens to me in the middle of my day so. Thank you. Categories for a category for the templates category that's the way to describe it. Or can responses using it for canned responses. Yeah, nice, very nice. Any other topics we need to cover before we end today. Nope, I'm good. All right. Thanks everybody.


Today we get back my fated Yu-Gi-Oh cards from CGC. What's up guys we're back with another epic video. In today's video I have a CGC return where I sent out a bunch of fated cards because if you've seen my returns with PSA they don't really grade fated like very well. I don't think. I think they usually give them way too low of a score. So we're going to try and send some to CGC. We already have sent them. You're going to see the pregrade in just a second but we have a giveaway. I'll be giving away these three cards with an L.O.B. original Celtic Guardian, a F.L.1 Dark Magician.  Let me know your favorite card from this return. I think there's 12 different fated cards so a lot of good options, a lot of really cool stuff. Let's hop into the pregrade and then we'll come back and see what we got. Alright guys let's check out the cards we're sending to CGC and these are all fated Metal Raiders cards for I think every single card. I might have a couple that are not but we have a very yellow fated Harpy Lady Sisters as you guys can see this card's really nice. It does have a little bit of something going on right there. I don't know what that is. A little bit of something going on right there. The service looks pretty good besides that. Back looks pretty incredible. Corners all look pretty nice on this card. I mean this thing sintering is not completely perfect but it's pretty nice. We've got okay it looks pretty good. Edges maybe at the top a little bit going on there but not too bad. Honestly a pretty nice card other than whatever this is right here. I feel like I should try to like wipe that off but gotta be really careful with these old cards trying to wipe stuff off. Okay with that stuff on the edge and a little bit being off centered I'd say like best case scenario is like a 9 something like that. That's what I'm gonna go with. We're gonna do like 0.5s in our predictions as well. We're not gonna do all like the service and everything. We're just gonna guess the overall grade for our predictions though. Our second card is a Song of the Thunder and yes it is also very yellow and very fated we gotta be very careful with these. Surface oh wow that is nice. Sintering is slightly that way but honestly not too bad. You know the surface is just incredible we got something there. I think we can just yeah we just wipe that off. Any scratches on here? Not many from what I can tell. The corners appear to be pretty nice. Maybe a little bit something going on there. Maybe a little bit of like there seems to be one of these old fated cards like the edges look like they have some edge wear but it's not really anything there. So this card's pretty nice.  But I would say this one is a 9.5 candidate. I don't know if a 10 is in range because like this sintering they can maybe give like a 9.5 I think or a 9 so we don't know where that's gonna go. That was basically it to be honest. So I would say like 9.5 is my guess for that one. Then we've got another member of the Gate Guardian squad. We've got Suigen. This card looks beautiful as well. Check that oh my goodness. I think this one looks the best and faded. I think it's because the blue just goes really well. The back looks good. There's a little bit of white right there. We might be able to brush off but it doesn't seem to be coming off. I'll just try that afterward. But oh yeah that one came off. So corner looks good there. We've got a corner there. Corner, corner, all beautiful. That's the only real thing on the service that we're seeing. Front service looks incredible. Corners looks good. Sintering is very similar. I think actually a little bit better than the Sanga. Honestly this card is nearly perfect. Maybe if this little spec can come off it'll be actually perfect. This card honestly maybe does have a chance at the 10. I'm not totally sure if we will actually get it but I'm gonna be optimistic and say that we're gonna get like three sub grade 10s and then one 9.5 or whatever you need for a 10. I think this has a chance at it so we're gonna go for it. Hopefully it does get a 10. I think 9.5 is like the worst case scenario for that one. The third brother of the gate guardian triplets. Here we go. We have the Kazigen. This card also looks incredible. Top edge, okay it looks pretty good. Yeah it's just the normal with the faded stuff. It's like it looks like there's whitening up there but it's really just like the way it shines off of it. Back surface is wow, super nice, super minty. We didn't check the front corners but they seem to be pretty good. Yep, it looks pretty good on the top.  It's like the song I think but not too bad. Wow, this card is very, very nice. I'm gonna predict a 9.5 for this one just cause I think the Sintering's a little bit worse so we'll probably get like maybe a nine. You know that that could happen but honestly an amazing card. I think that has a great chance at getting even a 10 potentially. Now we're getting on to the ultra rares. We have a barrel dragon. Very nice barrel dragon. We have the Sintering of, basically the same Sintering we've been seeing. It's actually pretty nice overall. It's not perfect but it's pretty nice. That same top edge kind of thing where it looks a little bit like whitening. Hopefully they don't take off for that. Surface looks incredible on this card. Surface on the back looks very nice. A couple of speckles that I think were, you know just nothing, just little dots. The corners seem to be pretty good. There's a little speckle right there. It doesn't seem to be coming off. We've got corners look pretty nice. The corners here look nice. Wow, this card looks really good. Okay, so another one that I'm saying because of the Sintering's not 100% perfect we're gonna go 9.5 but I think this has a good chance. And by the way, I'm gonna be talking about this a lot in this video but because these cards are faded and PSA will not give them an accurate grade I'm sending all of these to CDC. That's basically why. Cause they're okay with fading. Like they'll just label it as like low ink I think. So it won't actually take off from the grade which is pretty exciting. Next up we have a change of heart. Here's an interesting one. I don't know what they're gonna do with the text cause the text is a little bit like faded as well. I don't really know how they're gonna grade that but this is still a really cool card. Surface appears to be really, really nice. This is such a beautiful card especially since it just came off the ban list. Sintering is definitely going that way on this one. Back surface looks real nice. Okay, there's a little bit of scratching in there. You can see that. So that's probably gonna take off on the surface a little bit. Corners look nice. Okay, we got something. What is going on down here? Is it a little extra card on there? You guys see that little extra card going on that? Wait, yeah, look at this. It's like cut like this.  I never noticed that before. So I don't know how that's gonna get graded. That's gonna be interesting. So a little bit of scratching. It's got a weird edge. I think edges will probably get a pretty low grade honestly cause of that unless they consider it an error. So honestly at this one we're probably gonna be lucky to get a nine. I would say like because of the scratching we get like nine on a surface. We really get like a nine on Sintering. We probably get like nine. Yeah, we'll probably still get a nine cause we're gonna get a lot of nines. We'll go pessimistic cause there's a lot of issues. Let's go 8.5 on this one. It's still a really beautiful card though. I mean, it's honestly in great shape though. It just has like a weird edge and like a couple of scratches on it. All right, a couple more cards. We have a solemn judgment. This card is literally gray. It's like there's literally no red left in this card. I mean, there's a slight, slight 10, but that's about it. Sintering looks absolutely not perfect. Okay, it's a little bit off, but it's not that bad. Surface looks great. Corners look very nice on that. Okay, back surface, very beautiful. Okay, maybe if you look in there there's like one scratch I can see. Not too much. Corners there. We got corners of the bottom. So this one honestly looks really good. Sintering could be a nine. That scratch on the back could bring it back down to a nine service. I think we could get a 9.5 here. I'm gonna go with nine though because there's a couple of issues. We're gonna guess nine on the overall grade here. Next up, another gray card. A gray first edition mirror force. This would be a cool one running like a goat deck. It's just very, very awesome. They'd be a nice flex. Okay, so there's a little bit of stuff going on here. You guys told me about this actually in the return video. I don't know what this is. It's like something got on the printer or something because it seems like it's literally in the card. It's not a scratch. It's very crazy. I don't know how they're gonna grade that. That's definitely gonna take off though I would say but it's some sort of like weird error. The back appears to be pretty good overall. Well, we can see the corners look pretty good. See if we see anything on these corners. Nope, these corners, nope. Okay, so we have, sintering that slightly to the left as usual. Most of these have been slightly to the left. We have this weird stuff going on there and pretty much nothing on the back. So I don't know how they're gonna grade that at the bottom. Probably service will get like an eight or something like that. So I'm gonna go like 8.5 on this one just because of all of that at the bottom if you guys can see that. I mean, there's a whole corner going on there. It looks kind of cool to be honest but I don't know what it is. Next up is the Time Wizard. This is gonna be a long PSA return because this pre-grade's already been like super long. The Time Wizard also has the same issue where it looks like, honestly, it looks like water got on there or something like that and they printed a bubble onto it. So there's a big long line down here too as well. So it's definitely not that great in terms of surface. That's definitely gonna hurt but a really pretty card in general. Like you can't even see it if you look at it like this. You can only see that little part. Back surface is really beautiful. Corners are beautiful. I mean, the card looks good. It's just really unfortunate that whatever happened there happened because sintering on this one's actually pretty good. Because of that, like all the way down the card, I'm gonna have to say this is gonna get like an eight service. I'm gonna go like 8.5 on this one as well. And let's just see. I think it'll be pretty in a slab either way. It's a really nice card. Two cards to go. We have a B Skull Dragon Faded. And you guys know how well we do with B Skull. But this one, it looks like also had, I didn't notice any of this stuff when I first got this collection but it looks like it also had all this stuff on it. The surface looks pretty decent overall, besides that. This one's not nearly as bad as some of the other ones but the sintering's great on this. The corners look good. Corners look good. Back surface looks great. Okay, actually a corner up there maybe has a little bit of whiting right there. Okay, nice. And then we have corners down there. So honestly, a pretty nice card but that surface is definitely gonna come back to bite it but it's, let's see, okay, it is kind of alive. Let's just go with another 8.5 with this one. I think that's what we gotta guess. Maybe even a nine on that one cause that's basically the only issue but we'll have to see. And we have a thousand dragon secret rare. What a beautiful card. And then we have a little bit on the edge of course, the natural edge issues. I don't, can't tell if that's on there. Okay, yeah, the edge is a little bit edge going on there. The sintering is honestly pretty good on this card. Surface is not, wait, is there something up there? Like a little tiny dot right there. It's not perfect. Back surface, that looks nice, okay. Corners look good. This card's super nice actually. So this thousand dragon looks really good. This one might be the best card we've had in a while. Honestly, this one I think could maybe get a 9.5 overall. I would say 10 but I think there is a little bit going on up there like a couple of things. On the top edge, but still really, really beautiful card. So thousand dragon looks like it could be a 9.5. And finally we have a gate guardian. This thing has a big old either print line or scratch. It looks like a print line because it goes all the way across. Well it stops in the middle and then comes back but big old print line on it. Surface besides that though, looks pretty good. Sintering is pushed over to the left like most gate guardians are even this faded one. Back sintering is pretty nice. Corners look pretty good. I mean it's pretty nice besides that big old scratch right there but it's just a really, really sick card. I mean just look at this thing guys. It looks really beautiful. So with the off-center and the big old scratch I'm gonna say this is gonna get an 8.5. I think maybe even a 9 if we get a little bit lucky but honestly I'm really excited for this sub because these cards are really, really beautiful. So let's go and see what they got. All right. Now that you guys have seen the pre-grade I don't remember what I predicted. I didn't do like surface prediction stuff. I just did overall predictions because there's four different grades on each of these which makes these super fun to do and I'm super excited for this. So I'm gonna crack into this thing. I'm assuming it's not gonna be that easy to cut open and then we'll get into it. Okay. After like five minutes of pulling this out of the box basically just ripping it open. I have no idea how you're supposed to open those. Like I had figured out PSA the way to get those open. I have not figured out the CGC yet. Let's go into the first card and let's see what we got. So here are those nice CGC cases I really like. You guys can see the surface looks really good here. The fun thing is we have to use this card to cover up the label. We're using an elemental hero Clayman to cover up what we got because we don't wanna see it. There is a heart beat lady sisters faded and I don't remember what I predicted for these but they were all in pretty nice condition. Some had a couple like splotches and stuff on them but I really, which side is the full grid? Is it on this side? So do we need to start from over here? I can't remember. Okay. We have edges 10. Okay. Very good start to this return a 10 sub grade. We will take that. We have the corners 10. Okay. This is looking good. Looking good. What else can we get it? Come on. We've got a 8.5. No. Is it cause of the fade? No. Tell me it's not cause of the fade. All right. Okay. What else? And then a nine centering. So we've got a nine error on it. Okay. Nine error. What? Okay. This. Okay. What is that? What is that? That's that case is completely scratched. Okay. I don't know what this is on the case. It's definitely scratched, but you know, that's just how it goes with grading companies. Somehow they're always scratched the surface. Maybe was there some issues? I don't know. I don't know the back.  That thing looks amazing. The front. I mean, it must have been cause of the fading. I don't know. Two tins, but it gets a nine overall. It's unfortunate. Centering nine. Do I agree with that? Wait, what? Maybe it's a little bigger on the top, but that feels a little harsh for nine on the centering. Back centering. Honestly, this centering is not that bad. Okay. Back centering is not that great. But yeah. Okay. All right. Well, not the worst. We've got two like 10 sub grades. So we can't complain about that. Starting off with a nine. Now we have a nice surface.  Is there a dent right there? Is that a dent? What is that? That looks like a dent. What is that thing? I don't remember what card this is. I guess we'll find out. But oh, insufficient ink is written on the back, by the way. So that's pretty cool. I don't know what that is. What card is this? Song of the Thunder. So apparently there's a dent in the back. Wait, is there another? What's up with the middle of the cases? All having this junk on them. That's kind of weird. Okay. Centering appears to be pretty decent. Even better, I would say on this one. Back surface appears to be really good, except this, whatever that is. I don't know what that is. So that looks pretty bad. Let's see what we got on the first one. Edges 10. So our edges are looking pretty strong right now. We're getting a lot of 10s, which is good. Corners are a 10 as well. So this is, I mean, look at this. The same thing, 10s on both of those so far. Very beautiful. And surface seven. It has to be from that dent. That's what it has to be, I guess. And then centering nine. So we got an eight. So two 10s, but it's an eight because of this, whatever this thing is. That's a really weird dent. I don't know what that is. So this is an eight, but that's an extremely strong eight. But yeah, that's unfortunate, but at least it got two 10s upgrades, which is really cool. I guess it's as minty of an eight as you're gonna get, basically. Well, I guess the centering, if the centering's like a five, then that could be that. All right, the surface looks really good on this one as well, but we don't see anything weird like we did last time. So let's get the clayman. Let's cover it up. Let's not try not to ruin anything. It's the sewage. And I remember a couple of these were super nice. I think I predicted a 10 on one of them, maybe 9.5. It's always in the middle. The surfaces are the, not the surface, but the case has stuff all over it. Centering appears to be pretty good. Maybe this is the one that can get us a nice grade. Edges got a 10. Okay, hopefully Edgers and Corners can do it again. Corners got a 10. Okay, so the same results. These cards were very nice in a lot of ways. Now here's the moment of truth. What will the surface get? Are they gonna give them all 8.5 for the fade? Are you kidding me? Why is the surface getting docked for this? This is so dumb. It has to be for that. Cause these both, I didn't see anything. And they got 8.5s. And we're still getting better grades in a PSA where we're getting like eights, but still like, this is clearly a 10. Because 10, 10, 9.5, and they're giving 1.5 grades off because it's faded. I mean, let's look at this thing. You can see almost through it. Okay, maybe there's a little, is there a little bit going on in the back? Maybe, maybe there's scuffs. Maybe there's scuffs. But if it was in the pre grade, then maybe I'm just forgetting about that. If there's scuffs, it ain't got an 8.5. It's like, okay, that's one thing. I just hope it's not for the faded, but it just seems weird that they both got an 8.5.  So I don't know, oh man, I was just hoping that they would like just grade it based on like the quality of the surface, not the color. I don't know if they did that. Wait, this one doesn't say insufficient ink. What card is this? Did I have a non-faded card or is this one just less faded? Okay, this is weird. All right, let's see. The surface appears to be pretty good on this one, whatever it is. Okay, this one apparently is not insufficient ink. Will they grade it? Now let's see, if this gets like a surface tan, I'm gonna be very upset. Okay, this is very nice. Oh, I won't be upset. I'll be happy, but it's there again. Every time it's right there, there's a mess up on the cases. So I don't know what's going on. Okay, that surface looks good. It's a little bit off-centered, I would say. Let's see what we got. 10 edges, at this point, I'm just expecting it because these cards were so nice. 9.5 corners, our first 9.5. Okay, we'll have to check those out. Let's see what the surface got, moment of truth. Can we get over an 8.5? Nine. It doesn't say insufficient ink, it's 9.5. And then 9.5, so we got a 9.5. This is apparently the best one. The only one that doesn't have 10 corners is the best grade. That is very interesting. Let's see the corners. Corner looks good, okay, wait. Yeah, I mean, I guess I can see that. There is a little bit going on there. Okay, there we go. That's what it is. That's why I got a 9.5. Okay, yeah, that's reasonable. This is kind of what I expected for the sewage ink, except maybe even better, but I mean, we'll take it. We'll take it, 9.5, pretty nice. I don't know why that one's not insufficient ink. This one, we're back to insufficient ink. Can we get anything with insufficient ink label above an 8.5, please? Okay, what is that? Oh, it's gone, okay.  Okay, there's another one. What is going on? Why are these so hairy? Somebody was grading this for their dogs or something? All right, very nice. Here's to be pretty good. All right, I don't remember what I predicted. There's a lot of cards in here, so we're not gonna go over the cards insanely thoroughly. Ooh, barrel dragon. Okay, now it's getting serious. Let's see if we can get something crazy here. Yeah, this card looks really, really good. I don't have this in PSA 10, so I'd take a CGC 9.5 for now. That would be pretty cool. Let's see what we can get. We have edges 9.5, our first 9.5 on edges, unfortunately. We have a 10 on corners. Okay, that's not too bad. Let's see. Surface, will it be above an 8.5? Let's go. 9.5, okay, okay. I must have just missed something on the solution. That was just, I guess, something I missed. Okay, and then finally, come on. Sinnering 9.5, let's go, a 9.5 error, okay. So clearly it doesn't have anything to do with the fading. I must have just missed something on those 8.5s that I couldn't see through the case or like I just forgot about. 9.5 barrel dragon. We will take that, 9.5 subgrades and a 10. I don't know if you have to have three 10s to get a 10 overall, or maybe just two, because I know it back at its three 10s is required. That's really nice though. That's an ultra rare. That's sick. I don't have that as a 10 in PSA, so that's gonna like fit in my set for now, which is pretty cool. That is pretty awesome. Let's see. Back on this one, insufficient ink as well. I just wonder why they didn't label the Cosy. It's kind of weird. What else do we have? We have, surface appears to be pretty good on this one, whichever one it is. Let's flip this guy around. We have, oh, the change art. I wonder what they'll do because of this name. The name is a little bit weird. And of course, it's scratched up right there in the right in the middle, unfortunately. It appears to be pretty good though. Let's just see what it got. We have the first one, 10 edges, beautiful start. We have a 10 corners. Okay, it all comes down to the surface. I don't know if this change of heart name is gonna mess it up. Please don't mess it up. Let's go. Come on, get like a nine at least. Nine, okay. It's not that bad. What's the centering gonna get? A nine? Come on. Two 10s and two nine. So I got a nine. Okay. Okay, why is the centering nine? Let's look. Yeah, it's pretty OC. Okay. Yeah, okay. That's fair. Nine centering, I can accept that. So basically we needed a 9.5 and I bet the name factoring because this is not like a normal thing to happen. So that probably counted off, which I respect that.  So I just said that like four times, by the way, there was four takes for me to say that. Oh, I just keep going. I can't speak. All right, back surface here. Do we have another little ding here? No, I think it's another hair. Okay, it's a little hairy. The dogs are at it again. All right, what card is this? Ooh, solemn judgment. And this is the gray one. This one is sick. Okay, if we get like a nine to five on this, it's gonna be amazing. We have 9.5 edges. Okay, not, not, not what we're looking for. Cause a lot of them have 10, but that's not too bad. Centering is actually bad on this guy too. Corners 10. Okay, we're just gonna need a nice service grade. I don't know if it's gonna happen with this gray service. Let's see. Come on, man, eight. Okay, and then the centering is a nine. 8.5, what? Okay, of course the case is damaged. We mentioned that. Was it, okay, what is this surface grade, man? An eight? It's cause it's gray, isn't it? Okay, maybe there's some. Okay, there's a little dot up there. An eight? Wow, I really gotta go back and check the pre-grade. 8.5 feels a little rough, but okay. Let's put that right there. That is a beautiful card though, even in that 8.5 that looks sick. All right, can we get something epic here? We have insufficient ink yet again. Back surface looks good. Mirror force, same thing. If this gets an eight, it's gonna be cause it's gray unfortunately. All right, first one is edges 10, beautiful. Here's what I love about the CDC returns is the sub-grades, I just love doing that. Corners 10, okay.  Please give us a reasonable service score. It's cause it's gray, man. It's cause it's faded. How are you giving this an eight? Come on, man. That is so messed up Let's look at the other grades, nine centering. Wait, why is that nine centering? Somebody look at this centering and tell me why this is a nine centering. Look at this. Okay, let's look at this. At the top are these two. These are like perfectly equal right here. Am I missing something? The bottom and the top, this looks like perfect centering. What? What? Look at this centering on the back. It's slightly this way, but that's not nine. Look at the front, that's 10 centering on the front. And you could say like nine centering on the back. So it's definitely 9.5, I would say. And then the service, I mean, just don't get me started on the service. Like what is wrong with this thing? Did I, I mean, did I miss something in the pre grade? I'm pretty sure all these scratches are on the case is I would have seen a giant streak like that. I would think, I don't know, I don't know. Another 8.5 that was very, very minty. So unfortunately there, let's just keep going. I don't know how I'm feeling about this.  I don't really know why I do kind of have an idea, but all right, time wizard. What you got here? This one definitely had stuff on the surface, didn't it? I don't remember where it was. It had some surface stuff. Yeah, it was like right there. They're like, look like little water droplets. I don't know what that is. It's really weird. Let's see what this got. 10 edges, beautiful yet again. Okay. 10 corners. All right, what's the service? Is it gonna be an 8? We're gonna find out, let's go. Service 8. Okay, this actually has stuff on the surface that got an 8 and those two had nothing on them. So that's interesting. And then a 9.5. So we have these surfaces, man. They're destroying me. Okay, so this got an 8 because of these weird like watermarks which actually makes sense because those are actually on the surface. Okay, all right. 3.8.5's in a row on the big ones. That's exciting. The back is very nice with this card. Three to go. Let's see what we can get. Beast Skull, our lucky card. Come on, Beast Skull. Bring it back for us. This one's actually one of the least faded ones. Okay, the service. Can you stop damaging them right there, please? That's so annoying. Okay, service is nice. Let's see what we got on the Beast Skull Dragon. We've had great luck with it before. We have a 9.5. Okay, all right, not bad. Can't be mad. 10 corners. Okay, now it's up for the service. Come on, baby. This is your time. B, a 9 plus. Centering, we're finally gonna 10 centering. We get a 9 overall because it's an 8.5 on the service. Okay, somebody, please tell me what's going on with the services, man. Besides the fading, which if you're acknowledging it as an error, why is it counting off? Like why is it counting off as an ink error and also hurting the surface grade? It shouldn't hurt the surface grade. I don't understand. I'm not, this should easily like, let's say this is a 9.5 service, which is what it looks like to me, then this card's like a 10 or a 9.5, but instead it's just a nine. So, I don't know. I don't know what to do about these.  They get something in there like PSA. They got a dot in there like PSA. All the reasons I didn't send a PSA were the, it's happening here. Okay, all right, let's turn around. Thousand Dragon, I remember this being one of the most minty cards. So, oh look, streets down right in the middle right there. Okay, unfortunate there. All right, Thousand Dragon, let's see. Please be minty, let's go. 10 edges, beautiful, beautiful. 10 corners, also beautiful. Okay, moment of truth. Is it gonna beat an 8.5? 8.5 centering. Maybe if you didn't have this dot to spit on it, by the way, maybe you just have this dot in there that would help, which was not there, by the way. Oh, come on, man.  I still don't understand. What about these made these 9.5 surfaces? I don't get it. I don't get it. I just don't get it, man. I don't get it. We're onto the final card. I think this is a gate guardian. This card actually was not that minty, but I sent it anyway. Wow, the scratching is bad on the case on this one. Look at this, dude. Look at that. What is happening on that? That looks terrible. Okay, all right, that's exciting. All right, next grade, let's go. 10 edges, okay, nice. I don't remember what was wrong. I think it was OC and had maybe some surface issue. 10 corners, surface is gonna be like a six on this. Seven, okay, 8.5, oh my gosh, man. So all the things that got sevens, I think they still counted off for the faded. They counted like 1.5 off for the fade, and then I guess 1.5 off for whatever the other issue was. Where was the issue on this card? Oh yeah, there's a big old print line, yeah. So that was, I mean, that should not have gotten a great surface grade. Okay, yeah, this was a little disappointing because I was hoping that because they acknowledged the fade as an error, which they did on all of them except one for some reason and that one got a good grade.  So we got a ton of nines.   But yeah, the best we got was 2.9.5, which I'm not mad about 9.5s. It's just like 8.28.5s, which is a real bummer. So this was fun to do. You know, it's always fun to send somewhere else. They aren't getting better grades. They would have gotten PSA. It would have been like sixes and sevens, maybe eight on those probably. So I guess these probably got the same grade, but everything else probably did a little better. So this was fun. I hope you guys enjoyed a little bit of a switch up. Let me know if you guys want to see more CGC stuff, maybe non-faded stuff and see how they grade those.

I would just say when you get to college really try to network with your professors and your classmates. You're not going to know everything and every little subject. Just communications. Hello everyone. Today I'm going to be interviewing Megan McDonald. She's a scholarship recipient of the PICPA Foundation of 2021. Megan started cross-country training in her last year in high school and now she's running for a nationally ranked college team participating for the NCAA Division III National and I believe right after this you're going to for training. Is that correct Megan? Yes I am. That's good. And she was inducted into the Beta Gamma Sigma which is an honor society. Megan thank you very much for agreeing for this interview and you're going to tell us how did you learn about the scholarship from the PICPA? So I learned it from some of my accounting professors at Susquehanna University. Luckily I have really great professors. They're always sending out all types of scholarships even if they're not sure if we can apply to them or not. They just always send them out and I am so lucky to have such a great relationship with my professors. Excellent and why did you choose accounting as a major? So I started off by taking an accounting class in high school and I ended up just really liking it from there. I made a lot of sense but my dad's actually an accountant so I didn't just want to pick it because he picked it so I really tried to evaluate my choices before I got to college and I really liked accounting because it's a skills-based major so I know at the end of my four years at Susquehanna University that I'll have a certain skill set and I also really like how accounting is a flexible major I can work part-time I can work full-time pretty much everywhere needs an accountant every place needs an accountant. Absolutely I like what you said about the skill set and that's what differentiated accounting from other majors like econ or finance you learn something that's useful you learn how to prepare a 1040 you learn how to conduct an audit and those are actual skills that you would use in the real world also Megan it's full-time part-time and also you can be self-employed you can open your own business and that's what that's my next question to you are you planning to go for your CPA exam eventually? Yes I'm planning on going for my CPA exam after my four years at Susquehanna University luckily I have a good professors that I'm able to get it in four years instead of five years or six years at some other institutions so you will be completing the 150 credits in four years yes that's impressive that's impressive and I'm assuming you took financial accounting, managerial accounting at this point correct so you're familiar with the curriculum what advice would you give to accounting students that are starting or non-accounting say okay accounting is is good for you what would you say? I would just say when you get to college really try to network with your professors and your classmates you're not going to know everything and every little subject just communications the biggest aspect to it and I would also say just go to your career center and they have tons of different things for you we did a thing that is called breakthrough at my school we took a big tour bus to New York City and we could network with alumni there and just tour different companies and it just really opens your eyes to all your different options so I would just definitely say that networking is the biggest aspect so networking and through networking I 100% agree to that you're gonna examine all your options your older diversity and this is when you learn about your major Megan thank you so much for your time would let you go for your training train hard good luck and thank you so much for this for agreeing to interview with us thank you so much for having me thank you


So I'm just going to go through question six and question seven quickly because we ran out of time to do it in class. There was a few technical issues so I'll just go through it quickly now for anyone who was stuck on these questions. So we finished question five, we'll head to question six. Question six we talked about the random function so that was in the notes as well in the variables notes and it talks about this random method here so when you have a variable so here we have a double variable so that double is similar to float so just pretend that that's float and we say float r is equal to random and it's got the value n where n is any real number so if you give it the number seven this variable here will be allocated a number between zero and six so it won't go to seven because that number is exclusive. We can also do something like float r is equal to random three to eight so instead of giving it one number so if you give it one number it goes from zero to the number or if you give it a two inputs this is the range so between three and eight this number is inclusive so you can get the number three and this number is exclusive so really we can get we'll never get eight so if I print my value r I'm getting five point zero eight two because we've got a float if I wanted a whole number so an integer I would need to cast that as an int and we know that whenever we are dealing with integers so this part here as we saw before will give you a float value so if we're changing a float into an integer that means that we always round down and because we're rounding down that's the reason why we will never get to the number eight because even if we get seven point nine nine nine nine and we're dealing with integers it will round down so here we go six and every time we run it we'll get a different number so that's just a little introduction to the random feature and processing so now we want to use it to randomly generate lots of lines which have different lengths colors and different thickness of the lines as well so let's create our program in here just set everything up so I'm just going to set the size of the screen a bit bigger so everyone can see okay so lots of things we need to take into account here we talked a little bit about the difference between global and local variables as well if you try to do this one using global variables you find that it won't work so say if I want to create a global variable that contains the thickness of the lines so the stroke weight or we can't call it stroke weight I'll just call it stroke w is equal to we want it to be an integer a random number between and what do we want between zero and five so it would be zero and six if we were to make this a global variable as we're running through our code first thing we do is these global variables get initialized and we only get this one random value so if I was to go stroke weight stroke w the idea of this program is that every time draw loops around every time it loops a new stroke weight is allocated for a new line that's being drawn so we're not drawing a line yet but every time we loop through the stroke weight will change the location of the line the color will change and so every single time we need a new random number to be generated but what we're seeing is that this random number is only generated once when this variable is initialized so what we need to do is every time we run through draw we need to assign it a new random number so instead of giving it a value there I'm going to declare the variable up here globally so anywhere can access it and then every time I run through draw I'm going to give stroke w a new random value so now every time it's going to print a new value so we can test that just by throwing that in draw um oh that's the wrong print line and there we go so every single time we get a new number between zero and five so that's the type of thing we want to do so we've dealt with the stroke weight so the thickness of the line that's good now we need to look at the the color of the line so the stroke and also the different lengths of the line so that means that our x and y points for our lines will also need to change so I'm going to create some variables for that so I'm going to do x1 y1 x2 y2 you can declare your variables like this if it's all the same type and another one I want to do because we want a random color every time we want three random values for our RGB code so I want a different red a different green and a different blue every time so um let's set out our code first so we've got the stroke weight we also want the color of the line so the stroke we want it to be RGB and then our line is x1 y1 x2 y2 so that's all good but we need to give these variables some values so we've given let's do some code comments to make this a little nicer so set random values it's the first thing we should do and then this is the code to draw line we don't want that print line statement anymore so let's set our random values up here everything needs a new random value so x1 um x1 should get an integer random value and we want it to be anywhere over the x axis which will be from 0 to 600 but to keep our um our program dynamics so that it can change if we change the size of our screen I'm going to go from 0 to width okay um and I'm going to do the same thing for x2 I'm just going to do a bit copying and pasting to make this quicker the same for y1 except I want to do height and then again for y2 and I'm going to do the height so now we've dealt with having varying lengths um so we've done the strike weight we've done the coordinates and now we want to deal with the color so um our red in our RGB code oh that's something that I don't know if we did that um the red in our RGB code will be a random number between 0 and 256 um because the numbers for your RGB will go between 0 and 255 um and so we'll do 256 because we remember that this number is exclusive and we're going to do that for the g and the b so now every time draw runs it will go through every single one of these variables and it will assign it with a new random value given the range that you've allocated it so when we press play here it's probably just going to be a lot of um lines appearing on the screen it might be a little bit crazy but we'll see there we go so lots of different lines every time it's a different color different thickness different location um which is exactly what we wanted so that's good
