DWM has been my window manager of choice for well over a year and Every time I switch away from it or go to try a new window manager I always end up going back because it's just so good and I'm so used to it and it has all my key Bindings and it has scratch pads and I've set up xxsx HKD So I have my key cords and it's just it's a familiar place for me And I'm happy it's there but in the last week or so I've been playing around with DWM and basically what I ended up doing was taking my old Configuration and just shuffling it off into a dot old file and starting completely over now Those are you who watched the channel for any of length of time know that I like changing things specifically I like to write stuff and One of the things I wanted to do with DWM was go through and to do a lot of alterations to the bar itself I wanted to add the Bar padding patch. I wanted to go through and change from SL status to DWM blocks I wanted to go through and add some click events to the modules in my bar And I wanted to have more flexibility when it comes to selecting colors Not only for the modules, but also for the tags themselves I've been messing around with it now for a week. The problem is is that the Whole process was kind of a pain in the butt And I made me realize that the DWM bar is just not as customizable as I really want it to be It's not obviously a big deal. I mean in in the grand scheme of things This is not going to affect my productivity whatsoever It's just another one of those superfluous things that I like to mess around with so I had a choice I could continue to keep messing around with it I could go back to my old configuration Which was basically refined to the point where I just enjoyed it so much or I could switch window managers and What I decided to do was actually switch window managers. I've done that now I've this is my third day now on a brand new window manager now I've used BS PWM before Several times before I've raced it on video before I've been using it on streams when I did my long-term review of Debian that was the window manager that I chose to use so I've used BS PWM many times before but I've never Really lived in it for a long period of time on my main machine Mostly because there's also a DWM install here and I always Moved back to that now I decided to go through and do this For multiple reasons, but the biggest is that because the BS PWM does not come with a bar you can choose what bar you use and I've chosen poly bar Poly bar is amazing and has a ton of configuration options and there's just a ton of stuff you can do with it So it kind of opens up the possibilities for along me to tweak things pretty much forever I mean, it's probably going to be a huge like time sink But we'll talk about that another day the the point is is that because I can use poly bar easily And it's meant to be used with other bars I'll be able to go through and just go ahead and tweak to my heart's content with DWM You can use poly bar if you want to but everybody I've talked to several people in my discord have just told me how much Of a pain in the ass it is to get you know, you're working with poly bar. So honestly, I didn't even try It's probably something that I'll go back to eventually just for fun But I really didn't want to put that effort into it now. So I've switched BS PWM So I want to show you what my BS PWM looks like right now So this is what we're at right now Obviously, like I said, I have poly bar up there and I've changed my wallpaper and I have the terminal theme There are a few things I still haven't raised yet. I haven't raised like the the dunce notifications yet I haven't gone through and added a different GTK theme yet So there's still some stuff that I need to do and I want to add a couple more modules to poly bar But I haven't decided what that those are yet I know I want to get like a update one working and maybe a temperature went up there or something But that's for you know as they go along And I'm also going to do a video probably coming up pretty soon About adding click events to each of these modules so that when I click on them, they do something Not something I'll probably plan on using all that much because I don't use my mouse all that much to interact with things on my Bar like I don't I mean every once in a while You'll see me on camera and shake my mouse and go up to a workspace and click on it I don't do that that often. Thank goodness, but sometimes That method that muscle memory or whatever just gets me my hands already on the mouse So I you know go over there and do that anyways, but the point is this is BSPWM This is the way I have it now. So let me talk about my initial experience I've been using this now full-time for three days. I haven't logged into DWM for three days And there are some things that I like a lot about BSPWM. There are some things that are Not so great. So let's start off with the positive stuff. I like Pre-selection so if I go through and do something like this, I can pre-select Where the next window is going to be so in that way, this is very much kind of like I3 It's a manual tiling window manager, but also if I don't pre-select. It's just Something like this and so that in that way, it's kind of a dynamic window manager It's not really but the point is it's cool that way and I like that I also like that the configuration file is nothing but a shell script That's all it is really all this does is continuously Call one specific program BSPC so it could be a shell script or bash script You probably could also run this in other, you know interpreters as well if you wanted to But the point is I like that it's this way because you know I know at least a little bit of bash so I can go through and add stuff that I wanted to and The syntax is just really easy. So it's not It was kind of a breath of fresh air moving away from DWM where everything is written in C And you have to know the syntax of state now I got really good at it at least in terms of DWM But the point is is it's still overly complex and when something goes wrong in DWM You have to kind of know how to troubleshoot that with BSP WM at least with the configuration file errors It'd be pretty easy to suss out what that you know problem would be just because it's just it's just a shell script so The other thing I really like is that I have complete control over the number of workspaces that I have now I'm sure that in DWM you could probably do this as well But I never even tried because it was overly complicated and I would have had a mess with the source code with BSP DWM I can go through and have 20 workspaces now everybody knows I'm obsessed with workspaces right now. I'm using one two three four five six on this monitor One two three four five on this monitor So I have some free ones. That's the travesty. I need to fill those things up the point is is because I can Control not only how many workspaces I have but also which monitors they show up on I could theoretically go through And add 20 per monitor if I want to now. I think that's probably a little overkill but I could if I wanted to at one point I had 14 on both and the Problem I mostly ran into was trying to figure out how to assign the key bindings to the ones after 10 Because then you have to add in extra modifier keys I'm still gonna be tweaking that because frankly, I don't know if 20 is enough. I Don't know. I mean I don't know if 20 is enough But anyways, I like that part of it. Now the biggest pain point I've seen so far is scratch pads Now everybody knows I love my scratch pads scratch pads are basically applications that show up Via key binding and then go away via the same key binding, but they're don't really close They're they kind of live on an invisible workspace BSPWM does not have this functionality built in by default it just doesn't and That is a very sad for me. So I've kind of hacked together a solution because I couldn't use this without it If I couldn't have found at least some mediocre solution, I wouldn't have made it three days So what I've gone through and done is created a series of rules here at the bottom as you can see and Those are for different either terminal applications or regular applications that will then then can be triggered by a key binding So for example, I have super M Will do my mail client So that's Neomutt and then the difference here is that it opens up every time I press that key bank. So if I Keep pressing that it doesn't go away like a normal scratch pad What I actually do is have like five instances of Neomutt there. I Super N has pulse mixture on it, but I had to quit that in order for it to go away like super super Q in order for it to go away. So that's not really a scratch pad So no because nothing runs in the background So if I open up a terminal via scratch pad like this and run H top In a normal situation in a normal place where you actually have scratch pads You could go through and press that key binding again, and it would go away in this case it actually just opens up another terminal and in order to get rid of this I actually have to quit it. So if I go back to that scratch pad, it's gone now I have read a few places where there's some kind of Like even more hacky way of doing this so that it will stay open But none of them work really well So if there's a thing that it's going to get me to stop using BSPWM, you know within the next few days It's going to be that scratch pad functionality. That's just not quite where I want it to be now I know there are third-party Applications, I know there's like tilde tilde is a term a terminal that will allow you to It's basically a drop-down terminal But it's would go through and allow you to have that scratch pad functionality I know other terminal drop-down terminals kind of do the same thing. So I could try to do that I'm not sure if I really want to do a third-party thing or I know that there's like a third-party actual scratch pad Like application. I think it's called teedrop teflop something like that. I've never actually gotten that to work I may give it another try The point is the scratch pad things is the the one area of BSPWM that I just Don't like all that much because it doesn't exist. So yeah, that is my BSPWM setup as of right now now This is going to evolve over. I'm gonna try to give this a full month I want to go longer than that, but we'll see how it goes I'm just I'm gonna dedicate myself to a month not going into DWM using BSPWM and I'll make another video after that month is over and Probably kind of talk about my thoughts of how that month went I don't expect the thoughts to change that much because I actually really like BSPWM I always have depending on what day you ask me really between i3 and BSPWM, which when I like better would probably change There are several things about BSPWM that I like better than i3. There's several things i3 that I like better than BSPWM So a month from now I don't know how that perception is going to change because I lived in i3 for a long time. So I know a Lot about it and I know what I like and dislike about it I lived in DWM for a long time and I know what I like and what I dislike about it So we'll see how my perception of BSPWM changes after using it for a month So that's it for this video a little bit of rambly video And I'll probably do like a workflow video Maybe if you're interested in that if you're interested in that make sure you hit the subscribe button and leave a like I Definitely consider doing that.

Good morning, everybody. It's Sunday morning, September 15th, rainy Portland morning. In case you can't hear that rain. We are, what time is it? 844 a.m. We're about 15 minutes later than we wanted to be but we're headed up to my mom's to help them with some stuff and they're gonna also change the oil in the kids car so the kids are gonna meet us up there and yeah we're gonna spend the day up with my mom and dad and we will film what we can and we'll be back. A little crooked but that's better I guess. Anyway, good morning. It's Monday morning, September 16th, I think. 943 a.m. according to the computer. I'm just now logging in. I'm a little late getting started this morning. You know, I didn't have a good excuse. I was just tired. Had a busy weekend. I didn't get any art done. We spent the weekend with family the whole weekend helping my parents out with a couple small things and spending time with the kids and yeah busy busy busy so we did that. So this morning I've got to do at least three paper clips. I've got three days of drawings to do today and I want to do a bunch of, sorry the computer's talking to me this morning, that was the wrong thing I clicked on. And I've got to do a bunch of pages in the two inspiration color, the color inspiration journal and the art inspiration journal so I need to do a bunch of that and I also need to reply to YouTube comments because I haven't done that either. Almost the whole weekend so that's gonna be the focus of my day is catching up on all that stuff. I still have to see that right there. That's receipts, paperwork. We're gonna pretend I did it already. I need to do that too this week that's on the agenda so let's try clicking on this browser well shall we? I have had my two cups of coffee and breakfast I swear and you can see I moisturized up you can see by the shiny bits. No that's not sweat and yeah so let's turn on the internet, turn on the YouTube comments and see where we're at shall we? All right I'll be back. Okay I don't know what time it is but I got three paper clips done I got a couple pages one in each of the inspiration journals done I'm going to let those dry and then do at least one more in each journal maybe two and I didn't get any paperwork done. I did answer all the social media did my postings and all of that stuff I'm gonna go now bring up the garbage cans and put them away because it's garbage day it's Monday and then I'm gonna eat some lunch because I'm pretty sure it's like around lunchtime somewhere so you know it's at least 11 30 if not later so yeah that's where we are at right now anyway all right I'll be back. I'm outside in the side yard I was taking out the garbage and it just started dumping rain that's what that sound you hear in background is and it's actually lightened up a little bit welcome to Portland all right I'll be back I was gonna try to go walking tonight when Bob got home from work but and I don't mind walking in the rain but not if it's a torrential downpour it's a little different so let's see if it stops sometime soon I've got about an hour and a half or so before he gets home maybe we'll see I'll be back. Whether in Portland is so weird now it's all but stopped raining and the Sun's trying to come out and it's literally only been five or ten minutes seriously Portland is so weird all right I'll be back. Good morning everyone it is Tuesday morning September 17th I think yeah because my niece is set to have a baby any day now and if Paxton doesn't decide to come before Thursday he's gonna be born Thursday the 19th so that's how I know what day Paxton you need to be here already anyway I am obviously headed out of in the car again I have some Etsy orders that need to go and most of them are international so I don't feel comfortable just putting them in the dropbox not to mention the fact that they have the Yin Yang ruler drawing guide set in them and which is selling out quickly yay people thank you I gotta figure out how to get some more made I don't feel comfortable putting those in the bin and because of the drawing guides it's a stiff package and I don't want to take a chance of breaking them so by bending them to get them in the box so I'm gonna go drop them off and I'm gonna run a couple other okay I'm gonna head downstairs for a bit one of my inspiration journals only has one more page in it and then it's done and it can be permanently used as a reference book so yay and then I'm gonna I'm working on the sky one that I started art one is called color inspiration because it's just all about color groupings and and color themes the other one is just all about skyscrapes so I'm working on the skyscrapes one and I probably will start a third one at some point soon I don't have any images I want to put it in it immediately but I don't see I know me and I don't see that lasting for very long so anyway things are drying and I'm going to head downstairs now and yeah get it done I'll be back okay I spent the morning chatting with friends and getting some paperwork done I finally got the accounting done whoo and then we had a furniture delivery so this is our new dining room table and chairs let me move to away from the French doors there we go that's our new dining room table and chairs and it actually opens up it has a butterfly leaf in the middle you open it up and the leaf is in there folded and it pops out yeah anyway and it'll actually seat six and we do have we only got four chairs because we do have other chairs around the house so we use when that happens and then we got a new bar cabinet here and that means I have my kitchen counter my cutting station back so I have my cutting station back whoops where we there we are and I cleaned out the drawer of sharp pointy things I've got those knives on the counter that are okay for anybody to use but the ones in here you use them I break your fingers unless you know what you're doing and then I moved some of the things that were in there that are kind of in the sharp pointy category but don't necessarily need to be in the drawer and until I can get this drawer made into an actual drawer they'll fit in here this is a knife drawer but my knives don't fit in here and I do want to have our contractor make it into an actual drawer but he's super busy right now until I don't even know when so that's a thing anyway so that's all done yay so we're all good and we still have lots of nice open space it's not too cluttered I don't think that's what I wanted I don't want it to be too cluttered too crazy I know what that anyway so yeah now I just have to figure out what I'm gonna do with the wine fridge the bane of my existence I love it it's useful for keeping my husband's wine stash cold but I really don't want it in the front room it should be out here somewhere but then where all right that's it for the moment I'll be back good morning it is Thursday September 19th I almost said October because yeah anyway it is 9 19 a.m. and I obviously been the car I'm headed out I need to go to the shops I've got some stuff I need to pick up including printer paper which I'm out of and then we have somebody coming by for an estimate on gutter cleaning and the zinc stuff on the roof for preventing moss growth roof maintenance I'm a roof maintenance guy who hopefully works out and we can use him going forward we live next to the woods so cleaning the gutters out at least twice a year gonna be a thing okay we're back home and we're upstairs I got home and I was really hungry so I ate an early lunch I have been for a long time eating perfect bars in the morning with my coffee which is a sort of high-ish calorie protein bar they're not bad for you but they have a lot of sugar in them and I'm just I'm really trying to break myself of the habit the one good thing about them is I would eat one and then I wouldn't be hungry until like one o'clock I am noticing not having one I have one I have like yogurt or something with my coffee at 7 7 30 and then by 11 o'clock I'm starving so anyway I had an early-ish lunch it is 1242 I have some blueberries downstairs for a snack and a little bit because I do find that I'm wanting sort of a mid-afternoon snack and I'm the type of person if there's nothing healthy in the house I'm gonna eat what's in the house yeah so anyway we try not to keep too much chocolate anyway I'm upstairs in the art room I'm listening to Steppenwolf's Magic Carpet Ride and I have Pandor on and I did another page in the art inspiration book the skyscrapes book so I did another page I do need to let it dry and then I have a few more skyscrapes I need to print out and stick in here what else I need to do a paper clip today I haven't done that yet I did do all my postings oh sorry for the weird light we're standing underneath the ceiling fan I did when I was out earlier go to Michaels and picked up a few more craft paints I like swatching the inspiration books with craft paints rather than sitting and mixing stuff when it comes to using these inspiration books in an art piece or a journal if it's a journal I'll probably use the craft paints but if it's an art piece like on canvas I would take my artist paints and that page from the inspiration book and I would do my best to color mix from my art paints like for instance if I was using this color on this on the inspiration journal page I would mix this color for my art paints which I know how to do but for the inspiration books that's a lot of mixing so I picked up a few more colors to add to my stash of things I felt I didn't have so I didn't have enough sort of more muted grayed-out tones not I have a lot of brights and Oceany colors but I was really finding especially for this skyscapes journal that I need gray I need more muted tones so I did get a fire coral this is folk art fire coral I prefer folk art and deco art FYI I did get one Martha Stewart paint and I think it's her watercolor paint just because it was the right color I'm never using it for watercolor I didn't don't see the point in having watercolor in a bottle that's just me I'm just using it because it's the right color and it was the only brand that had the color I wanted anyway that's not one of them I got another folk art in tangerine because I needed a light orange and I also needed some sort of light sort of grayed-out pinks so that's the coral orangey pinks I also got another lighter pink caught this is deco arts cotton candy so those were my pinks that I picked I needed some more gray blues I have folk arts French blue which I love and I use that one a lot and I also have folk arts blue lullaby which works for some of the lighter blues yeah but I needed some other ones so I got deco arts winter blue and if you put it next to the French blue they're almost the same color one is more in the blue tones and one is more in the green they're pretty close and that wasn't this one wasn't one that was on my list it just looked interesting so I picked it up because you know I can't help myself this is one that I wanted so this is deco art this is our multi-surface satin again for what I'm using it for I wasn't paying any attention to what the finish was on the paint I just want it for the color to do the swatches with so this is their multi-surface satin this is night sky so it's a nice dark gray blue which is what I was looking for and then I got this sort of medium gray blue this is deco arts blue harbor and then I needed a dark like foresty green so I got deco arts houser dark green and then the Martha Stewart one that I picked up because it was I needed a light orange light orange and light pink were on my list and this one is a Martha Stewart this is her watercolor and this is wild salmon was the perfect light orange for what I wanted so yeah those are what I got today and I did get some tape runner because you know how you can be at a tape runner in an art room I found one roll of glue dots glue dot roller thing I got these at Creativation a couple years ago the glue dots people gave me a bunch of them which is great and I've been using them up that by the way if you see them these work great they work really great they just don't have a ton on them and I don't know if that's because that's a sample and not the actual one you get at the store it might be anyway that's it for the moment I'm going to sit and do a few more things up here let this page you dry then make a paper clip and maybe go for a walk husband has a Masonic meeting tonight so it's just me myself and geez otherwise known as my navigation app on my phone to get me around so I don't get lost actually getting to the park walking is not a problem getting home sometimes I get lost so yeah that's a thing all right I'll be back probably should grab the iPod because I'm gonna want music can pretty much guarantee that all right and I will say also too I do use an eye when I said iPod I meant iPod I think it's second-generation maybe third I don't remember it probably says on the back somewhere but yeah I don't have my reading glasses on anyway can you see there we go see the dark spot it's got like a moisture spot it still works fine it doesn't affect anything but and there I've tried everything to get it out of there that you can think of all the DIY hacks nothing works so at some point it's gonna probably die and I'm gonna need a new one and they don't make them like this anymore I like this all right I'll be back it is just before noon on Friday September 20th my niece is in active labor so baby Paxton my great my net yeah great nephew should be here hopefully sometime today but you know labor and deliver you know different for everybody so we'll see anyway I'm you know rocking a not a great fashion statement here today but we're headed out to the library and actually a couple of libraries and we have to go pick up some things in the mall she doesn't need a party at the hospital so I'm gonna go get stuff done what I need to get done with Fred and we'll be back Fred was shaking his head I don't think you guys saw that on camera because yeah I'm vlogging again and he's shaking his head we also had Bambi visit and hang out at the house for what an hour this morning the place and of course Bob finally went out in his pajamas and put corn out for her and you know scared her and she wandered off hopefully she'll come back the bowl is full now so maybe she'll stop eating my flowers no no we'll see all right we'll be back good Saturday morning everybody it's Saturday morning in 700 it's Saturday morning September 21st I think we are headed out to go hit up a farmer's market one thrift shop I've been I keep driving by and I'd like to go in and then we're gonna find some place interesting for lunch go on an afternoon drive I'll bring you with us we'll be back still hasn't had her baby yet she was induced Thursday evening and little baby Paxton our great-nephew isn't here yet he's taken his time so anyway yeah we'll help everything goes well but I guess we'll find out the next day or so it's been an interesting week next week it's gonna be busy busy busy so I'll bring you with us when I can assuming Paxton is born in the next 24 hours if not sooner there's gonna be family that's already planning on coming in to visit some of which is staying with us and so it's gonna be very busy and we have other things going on around here before then so it's gonna be crazy town anyway it was a fun week and a fun day we really enjoyed the Beaverton farmers market it was the last one that they're having of the summer but they're gonna be starting a fall one so we'll be making that a regular occurrence as often as we can I think and that's it for today don't forget to check out the video description for any relevant links my link tree list of links with all of my social media stuff and my Etsy shop in it my happy mail address is down there and all that jazz check it out don't forget to like share and subscribe leave a comment if you have a question comment or concern and above all go out and have a great day do something nice for yourself because you deserve it I'm gonna go to bed I'm exhausted I'll see you later bye guys


I'm Darren Haginson, I'm the work site manager of the USDA ARS facility in East Grand Forks. Wanted just to take a few moments today to talk about some of our ongoing field trials for the season as well as highlight some of our up-going storage trials. So first of all we have our evaluations of some of the promising new breeding clones conducted in the Laramore Research Pivot. This year we have roughly 80 clones, about half each of the chip processing as well as the fry processing. These represent nine public university programs and again similar to past years we will be harvesting this material and looking at the processing quality throughout storage in East Grand Forks. One other trial I wanted just to highlight is our continued participation in the snack, the Potatoes USA snack trial that's up in the grower cooperator field in Hoople, North Dakota. This year we're quantifying nine or we're testing nine public varieties in comparison to the yield of Snowden and Lamoka Checks. Again we'll be storing those materials at our facility and looking at the processing quality throughout storage. With our continued participation in some other grower directed research trials we work closely with Dr. Andy Robinson on a bruising trial with some of his fresh and yellow trials. We're also working on a dormancy study with both Andy's group as well as evaluating some of the University of Minnesota, some of her new materials are Dr. Laura Shannon's group. So stay tuned on that. I sure will have some publications in upcoming Valley Potato Grower magazines. Lastly I would like to introduce a new addition to the research family in the USDA, Dr. Muneve Doge Masi. She's a research physiologist. She's stationed in Fargo, North Dakota. She's going to be a physiologist that we're excited about doing some collaboration with. Again she just started in the last couple of months, so I wanted to take the time to introduce her to the MPPGA as well as the grower stakeholders. So with that Muneve, do you have a few introductory comments you can share? Yes. Hi everybody. I'm happy to be part of Team Potato and I look forward to meeting and working with all of you. As they mentioned I joined a couple of months ago to USDA ARS as a physiologist and I'm in the process of establishing my lab and my immediate objectives will include tuber dormancy, tuber sprouting, sequinset and wound healing. Again it's nice to meeting you all and I look forward to working with all of you. Thank you.

We did it. I'm filled with a certain level of elation, I suppose is the right word for the fact that we finally hit 20,000 subscribers. This is a, this is an important milestone for me, you know? See, I don't know, 1,000 was a big milestone. That's the point where you're like, you've got an audience and 10,000 is where you like start to really crest into thinking that it's going to succeed. But 20, 20 is something that I've been thinking about for a very, very long time because it means that I, that the growth is sustainable. It's not a one-off thing that's never going to go anywhere, you know? And I've been thinking real hard about what I was going to do in celebration of the 20,000th subscriber and well, it's been a couple of days. I had been meaning to do this. I actually planned on doing it for the 10,000 subscriber special, but the the timing just didn't work out because I kind of grew too quickly for that milestone to really count for anything. So I just kind of skipped it and incidentally, I'm coming up on my hundredth article. I have 99 articles and I've got 99 articles and a witch ain't one. Anyway, I've got 99 articles on the wiki and I've been thinking about what I was going to do for my hundredth and I think that I'm going to meld the two together. So I, this morning, literally about, I'd say, two hours ago, wrote an SCP article and turned on my bandicam, which I own a full version of. It's not the trial version or anything like that. I own a full version of it, which does, it's a screen capture software and I used it to record the entire writing process.  The article's actually already posted to the wiki. That's actually included in the video. And there were a few minor changes that I've made since it's been uploaded, just little errors here and there that I noticed after the after I was done and that's about it. I just wanted to go ahead and put something up for you guys to really give you an inclination of how I write SCP articles. And that's what we're working with right now. So let's get started. Now, before we get started, I did have a pitch in mind and I've actually been chewing on it for a few weeks now. I've actually had multiple pitches, but this is one that I felt was short enough for me to actually do as a video. It's essentially one of those, I do, I do a lot of articles where the Core anomaly is a fairly simple thing. It's not super complex. There's not a whole bunch of added things to it. It just does one thing and then I explore some of the consequences of that thing. Or I tell a story with that thing as the central premise. In this particular instance, the one sentence pitch is this man can fly, but he can't fly if he's too fat. So let's get started. Here we go. New text document, special containment procedures, description. See, I do that to begin with. I was writing that to begin with and then I was like, you know what? Just copy and paste, which is what I normally do. Yeah, who cares about the object class? It doesn't really mean anything. It's a human male that is capable of self-sustained. Nope, self-propelled flight. At this point, I'm trying to think of the kind of the core characteristics of the anomaly. I've had the idea in my head for a while, but haven't actually, yeah, and now I'm looking up conversions for metric because I'm an American and we use the imperial system over here and I barely know it much less metric and I'm just using it to get some approximations. I'm throwing numbers around these. These are changeable. These are not absolutes right now. Yep. Here we go. Speed. Entity is currently not capable of sustained flight, but is more mobile than one would expect. See, this is the point where I'm trying to like give an idea of the actual, like, I want you to know that if he's fat again, make it euclid because humanoid, who cares? At this point, I've got some basics down, but I want to look up an image. I tried to look up fat man, but it came up with the nuclear bomb creative commons image and I looked at this and I said, this is perfect for what I want because I want the I want the people who were reading this to feel bad for my character, the central character of this. And then I also changed the age just there because it has to fit the image that I'm going to be using. The guy in the image is definitely not 27 years old. I go for 47 here. I think I change it to 57 later because it still feels a little young for 47. So I meant it went ahead and kicked him up. Here, I'm giving him a series of things. One I wanted to make sure I was smelling sleep apnea, right? And then I couldn't remember if it's type one or type two diabetes is the one that you get as an adult from being overweight. So I looked that up as well. I know it's a called a diet was called an adult onset diabetes. Oh And there I was trying to figure out which sounded more clinical health conditions or health problems and what I did was I looked up I googled both of them and then I saw just from the first few results, which one had the more official of results. And then I went with that one, which was health. What was it? Health conditions. Yeah. And here I am sitting here and I'm thinking about this is like generally friendly and personable. I want him to be I want to I want the reader to engage with this character and feel sorry for him. That is the whole point of this article. And that's the point of friendly and personable, but a little bit later on, I'm going to change my mind about that. I'm pretty sure here we go. We're starting to try and order our information because you get a lot. Sometimes I just do a scattershot and I write a whole bunch of information down and then I try and figure out like what is necessary? What is a repeat piece of information?  I realized I'd closed the image out and I needed to have the images source available for me. Although I think I ended up closing it out later anyway, so it doesn't really matter. Yeah, here we go. We're adding that back in. But again, I think I take it out anyway. But yeah, I had to look up the source image again. So what I did was I believe I looked at the file because first thing I did was look at the history, but I opened it up in incognito mode so you couldn't see any like my search histories or anything like that. Nothing embarrasses in there. There might be embarrassing things in there. It's not stuff I would be embarrassed by, but it's stuff people would probably poke me about. But it just felt like I wanted to make sure everything there was. I didn't want there to be any distractions. So then I looked at the history and it had it give my normal browser history. None of the stuff that I actually looked up was on there, so I cut that out as well. Yeah, and now I'm starting to go into the special containment procedure. Sometimes I'll start in a description. I'll get a little bit into it, just to get a basic idea of what I'm dealing with. And then I'll go back to the special containment procedures to try and give a bit of a better explanation of what's going on. Oh, and that was originally by any means necessary. I changed it to by reasonable means because I was like, what do you mean by any means necessary?  Here we are. We're going to lifetime supply contest winnings related to food current and then I'm like, that sounds really awkward. So giving a lifetime supply of Cheetos, Twinkies and something else. Now, I'm about to look up particularly unhealthy junk food. No, nothing. Nothing here that helps me at all. So and then I think about McDonald's. And I'm like, that's unhealthy fast food. Then I thought about something else, pizza deliveries, free pizza from an established extant SEP front company, the Spicy Crust Pizzeria. And then I thought about just get rid of the Cheetos and Twinkies. That's a distraction. We'll just put in the Spicy Crust Pizzeria. Here we go. And then we have to explain how does he how do we justify that he got this, although actually, now that I'm thinking about, I'm not entirely sure that's necessary. I know it's still in the article that I wrote, but I'm not entirely sure it's required. Anyway, I'll give that some more thought later. Here we're going through its anomalous properties to basically explain that as he gets fatter, it can't fly. I'm not particularly you'll see I'm just sitting here. Nothing is happening. This is me literally just staring at my page and thinking about it. Here we go. We're moving some stuff around. We're thinking about how we're going to write this exactly. Also, at the same time, I'm looking at it as kind of thin. When you characterize something like this, you want to give that in order for there to be a connection to your character, it's going to be more than just a couple of lines describing them. So you have to give some of their events and their lives. What did I just get rid of? I didn't quite see it, but here we go. Just to make sure that he doesn't get skinny. If he falls below 150 kilograms, entity is to be remanded to foundation custody for permanent containment. Also, this is, I accidentally hit the wrong thing. I was like, that's where I changed it to 57 instead of 47. I think I must have hit like shift F5 or shift F6 or something. I don't know, but it inserted the date and time, which was certainly strange. Here we go, and then we're just changing that to a footnote. And now we're condensing that maybe, but we're not entirely sure yet. Still just kind of, there we go, separate it back out. That's current mass is incapable of flight. There we go. And now we're starting to change what it, because it's like, it's capable of flight. What does that mean? So instead we're going with something a little bit more specific. It's capable of generating a telekinetic lifting force. Directed at itself, and now we're moving stuff again, because now it's the core of the original part of the description is going to be focusing on its telekinetic lifting force. So some of the other stuff has to move. This capacity only extends to its own body, and the entity is shown no capacity to lift other objects with this ability. I was going to say with this ability or with its ability or whatever, but then I just put a period because that was extra words that it didn't need. It's self-limited to approximately 103 kilograms of weight. And then again, at this point I don't actually know what these numbers are in pounds, but I have a general sense of what's high and what's low. At a healthy weight, and I do know that much, of 73 kilograms the entity is capable. That's the distance and speed thing that I had earlier. As additional weight is added, his speed is inversely, and this is the, this is trying to go for clinical as much as possible. It's inversely affected by the weight. So as the weight goes up, the speed goes down. And this is me, God, that is a loud snoring. I'm not, I'm not going to actually edit this. So you might catch me repeating myself a couple of times, but I'm just going to go through this. Any speed of movement is inversely affected by the entity's weight. Because I mean, I can't edit this, right? It's a 20 minute video, just me looking at this thing. If I, if I had to edit it, it would make it much worse. Self-directed is capacity for self-direct flight. I think I'd take that out, so it doesn't really matter that I got it wrong. I guess I'll look after I'm done recording that. At a weight of approximately 73 kilometers, but further weight increases. Yeah, this is where I'm starting to, I'm starting to get a really good idea of what's going on. Now the age, weight, the age, height and weight thing, that usually has to go in the first paragraph, but the first paragraph needs to be focused in on this stuff. I'm going to take the first sentence and just describe some physicality of it. The 57 years old, it's height, it's weight. It's capable of protecting a telekinetic lifting force on itself that gives you enough, yeah, that gives you enough. So then the last sentence right now is the speed of entity's movement while utilizing this is inversely affected by its weight. And then we have a whole paragraph devoted to what that means exactly. So the first paragraph is just a summary sort of. And then the rest of the description can go into detail on some of the less than clear, anything that seems like it needs further expansion. There we go. And now we're starting to set up a possible end here that I don't actually know where I'm going to go with this yet, by the way. I just wanted to get a decent, yeah, here we go. Now we're going to start grabbing some code. We're looking for, I always go to my own articles. Like, I mean, I've got a hundred of them. So I just kind of looked through my own articles for the kind of code I need. And there it is. I need some collapsible code. It's like, I kind of could probably do it, but it's better to just copy and paste and have to worry about the problem. You'll notice with this particular set of collapsible code, there's a hide equals quote, space quote. That means that when you open the collapsible, the close button is actually invisible because it's just a space. Here we go. We're setting these incident logs up as kind of a little bit of a a way to explain how the foundation is affecting this person. And the core concept is kind of that the foundation is trying to be nicer to its anomalies. And it's thinking about a guy who can fly, but he can't fly if he's fat.  Even if it's a bad, even if it's a life that's a little bit less than ideal, rather than having to worry about keeping him in a, I mean, the US government pays for his housing and all these other stuff. He basically is self-containing at this point as long as you can keep him fat. Right here, he starts to, yeah, but of course, you know, fat people constantly think about the idea of losing weight. This is sort of actually focused in on a personal, you know, it's a personal story because I'm overweight and I've constantly tried to lose weight and I'm constantly failing, right? And so this guy's literally, and this is where I'm fine. I'm thinking I'm going to do a book. I'm sorry. A bulleted list to show in individual things here. So it's a solution is these various things that we're going to do. Take a drink of water real quick. So this is just some basic stuff. Like he starts seeing weight loss stories on the internet and on TV. And so the foundation is, and this is where I'm changing it. So instead of recent incidents, it's going to be individual incident logs. Recent incidents is going to be the heading for it. That's just some formatting changes. Documentaries will be shown in the long-term effects of weight loss. The guy starts watching the biggest loser and thinks that he can lose weight. So instead of dealing with that problem, the foundation, and this is me copying and pasting the format so I can do it easier the second time around.  And sometimes, and I think most of those people gain more weight back than they had in the first place. So I had an idea. I'm not actually still sold on this log, come to think of it. But yeah, show incident 50. I might actually still get rid of this. I'm still not 100% here. The post is up, but I'm still, I'm still thinking about certain parts of it. But yeah, this log was, it kind of feels like an outlier. I didn't like the word rotten. The idea was that they literally go into his house and replace his, he goes out and buys fresh fruit and vegetables. So they just literally go into his house and take the fresh fruit and vegetables and replace them with rotten fruit and vegetables, which is sad and terrifying actually. And here, I looked at the top part and I was like, oh, it just has solutions. What happens after this, you know, what happens after you do these things? It sees his interest in loss, a weight loss from all of their things they did. And then finally, see, that was the thing. I saw the solution for this and I was like, well, what happens after you replace his decomposing produce? Does he just go out and buy new ones? No.   Now, this is where we finally get into kind of a ending. And at this point, I still don't know how I'm going to end this, has begun a robotic exercise. Now, I should make a point here. I can't spell exercise for the life of me. And I learn this the hard way every time I try and type it in chat and I see the correction, but especially here, because I wrote it a whole bunch of times, probably about at least a half a dozen, if not more, and each one of them was wrong. And it doesn't come up until I actually paste it into the field. And here I'm trying to think about, okay, what's the solution? He started exercising, walking along the sidewalk outside his home. So the foundation literally goes out to his neighborhood and starts digging up the sidewalk to fix, to quote unquote, fix it. And they're basically going to take as long as they possibly can to try and discourage him without causing suspicion. And still misspelled exercising. And also there's a formatting area there where the space that I forgot to put in. I have to fix that later on. Because it's not a formatting error necessarily, but like for the first two, the solution and the result are separated by an extra space. And they're not separated by an extra space in the third one. And it doesn't look like it'll be separated. Maybe I'll fix it in the fourth one. I don't know. Oh, wait. Okay, solution. Yes, bulleted. Yeah, he's gonna, he decides that since he can't walk on the sidewalk, he goes to the park. And they had a CP foundation trying to be nice to this guy and decide that the option, the best option is to rob him at gunpoint to scare him into not leaving his house, which is more terrifying than exchanging his fresh fruit for decomposing fruit or whatever. And he started doing this regularly because that's what the words daily walk mean to him.  And then the other one uses a baseball bat to break its femur, which again, terrible. Also still misspelled exercising. Okay, now at this point in any story, a lot of people would do, yeah, see, yep, that was me. My first instinct was to write a disappointed note from the ethics committee going, you guys are terrible people. We shouldn't do this, right? And then I thought about it. And I was like, no, that's a bad idea. The ending note that explains everything. And I come up with an idea here and I don't even realize what I've come up with until about, probably about a half. Here we go. I figured I wrote down containment at large program.  And I was like, that's way too on the nose. And then I looked up synonyms and I was like, no, you know what? It's fine. It's fine. But yeah, yeah. So the break is femur. And the ethics committee is like, okay, fine. Let's stop trying to make this work. Just recapture the guy and put him in a cell. That would be and chain him down. That would be more humane than what we're doing right now. Yep. And here I am. I'm looking at him like, is that good? Yeah. But yeah, I wanted to write that as a note that was literally saying those things. And I was like, no, let's just cancel the the program. Like, let's just say that. Okay. Copy and paste. And then I was going to post it, right? And I realized I'm in the incognito mode. So I'm not logged in. So I have to open it up in an actual browser. And I hit contribute, but that was not what I wanted. And plus four, six, one, three was open. I always like to take numbers with one, three in them. You're about to see me completely forget. Also misspelled pizzeria every single time I wrote it, apparently. Yeah. So I fixed exercise like, I don't know how many times. What am I doing here? Oh, and I'm grabbing the code to change the theme. And I am changing information here. Grabbing the image source, which I guess I did, didn't lose. Yeah. And I promise I did not come up with. Then that came up. I was like, three name it. SEP four, six, one, three. You're about to see something interesting here, which it may not come up immediately, but I'll show you in a second. Or I guess you'll see in a second. Yeah. Again, I had to look up sleep apnea to make sure I was spelling in correctly. All right. See that right there? That image won't work. You'll see it in a second, because I put SEP in caps for the image file name. And believe it or not, for the, yeah, I'd already posted it and had to fix it immediately. But yeah, when you upload a file for an image like that, it is case sensitive. It has to be exact. S, yeah. So I took it from SEP caps to SEP. And that's me reserving a comment page. Make sure I uploaded it because I was uploading my own stuff. Here's the article already ready. I saw an error and I'm about to end. I think I'm about to end the recording right now. But yeah, came up with a couple of changes. And yeah, I changed the form of that. I just hit the stop button. So that was the whole thing from start to finish. I'm just trying to give you kind of a running tally of what was going on in it. When I do an SEP article, this is generally about how I do it. Like I just sit down with an idea that's already in my head and then I just write until I get to a conclusion. And sometimes I can't figure out a good conclusion and I just have to sit there and like, I'll put it off to the side and I'll come back to it. And sometimes like this, I come up with something that I find satisfactory and then I just end it. There's a few more changes I think I made to the containment procedure wording and like a few things along the way that I changed. And I also put containment at large as the title of it because that's too perfect for a, you know, at large, making him fat. I don't think you need that explained to you, but just too perfect of a pun title. So I went ahead and just used it. Anyway, this is my gift to any prospective SEP writers out there. Hopefully you can see in a real time sense or at least four X times real time sense of how I go about writing an SEP article and how you can go about kind of exploring your SEP ideas and turning them into an SEP article, a very simple SEP article at that. I have no idea how this is going to go over on the wiki. I think it's at plus five right now. I've got six up votes and one down vote from some guy who constantly downvotes everything I post. There's a few people like that, believe it or not. I think I've made some people angry at me. Let's just put it that way. You know, people talk about how famous authors can get away with a lot and like their articles keep getting up voted and all these other things. But I'll tell you right now, sometimes the problem is that there's, once you've been on the wiki enough, there's plenty of people out there who will downvote everything you ever do. So keep that in mind. Anyway, thank you very much for 20,000 subscribers. I mean, a year ago, I never would have considered this as a possibility. Something I was working towards, not going to lie, it's something I was working towards, but I don't know, it's been a whole year building up to 2,500 subscribers and then in like four or five months now, I've managed to go up to 20,000.

This morning some news hit the internet that Kevin Durant is agreeing to stay in Brooklyn. He's met with management, he met with Steve Nash, they're all good, he's sticking around. So what are the implications of KD staying in Brooklyn? Their odds to win the finals just got cut in half. They went from plus 1500 to plus 750 and honestly on paper KD, Ben Simmons, Kyrie, if those guys are committed to play that's a good team. So do we have any takers on the Brooklyn Nets to win the finals at plus 750? Hit the comments and let us know.


Hi everybody, Joe for Jaspy's casebreaks.com coming at you with 2021 Bowman Inception Baseball. 16 box, pick your team number two. Big thanks to all of these wonderful people right here for getting in on the action late at night. Appreciate it. Thanks to the people who bought their spot straight up. There's John with the last spot, double last spot mojo I think. He got the Brewers and he got, I thought he got another team. Oh, Brewers and Yankees. Double last spot mojo right there. And thanks to the people who threw out a rooftop next to your name. Thanks to the people who bought spots in the filler. You ended up winning teams. Now you saw the rules in the promo. Unfortunately, only full spots are available for the St. Nick promo. But hopefully, who cares about the St. Nick promo, right? For those of you who won teams, let's try to pull you monster hit instead. There it is, 2021 Bowman Inception and all its glory. Two box each. That's why I do that check. Empty box. Let's save those. Maybe they're packed full of hits. All right, here's what we're looking for. Two autographs per box, on average. Are there other cards too? Oh, and I guess some extra cards right there as well. I don't know what top loaders I need for this break, but I'm gonna find out right now. All right, thank you again. I really appreciate the late night rally. Hopefully this case cooperates and delivers some monsters. So I think the last two traditionally base cards and then two autographs. All right, so we've got a Jalen Palmer to 50. We got a Xavier Edwards, 18 out of 99 for the Rays, Robert Hassel, Jared Kelly, and Pete Crow Armstrong. All right, first one out of the gate, 456 out of 600. That's a Brayan Buelvis. Some new names to learn. John Samuelson with the A's. I need 100 point to those. I feel like these are gonna be a little bit of a tight fit in a 75. That's probably too thin. Maybe 75s can work. I don't know, we'll see. All right, and the next one is Immanuel Rodriguez for the Twins, 18 out of 75. It's not as comfortable. I don't wanna be squeezing these cards into 75 points. I'm gonna use a larger penny sleeve, a slightly larger top loader, and I'm sure our shipping team will pop some blue tape on there if these feel a little loose. Actually this might be okay. All right, so there you go, Twins. That's gonna go to Jared Kay and the Twins. All right, first box. Joe P. is stating that there'll be some boxes that may have three autographs instead of two. All right, I'll take it. I'll always take extra hits. That's an autograph, actually. So is this a three hit? There you go, as advertised. So there's only one of these numbered cards on the bottom. Extra auto. So there's Austin Hendrick, 45 out of 75. Riley Green, Heston Kirkstad, and Jeremy De La Rosa. Austin Hendrick for the Reds, supposed to be a pretty big prospect. Coming up the ranks. All right, we got one for the Yankees. Antonio Gomez, 90 out of 600. That'll be for John. Last spot, Mojo. Strikes again. We got a 38 out of 50. We've got Gilberto Jimenez. I really like the design this year, right? There seems to be like a gloss or a sheen over there. And it looks less busy in the back. I like how they, I like how they simplified the design a little bit. I think the last year or two, they've kind of been cleaning up the design. I really like it. And six out of 99. That's Brian Ramos for the White Sox. That's gonna be for Nicholas with a spot that he won in the filler. Yeah, they really are Joe. I agree, Joe P. They are beautiful cards. Kind of like that sort of, I don't know, I feel like, I don't know, you may remember this, Joe. There was like one year where it looked like they oversaturated the colors on inception. It could have been Topps inception or Bowman inception. Maybe this was four years ago, maybe. And it looked like they kind of oversaturated the artwork, which always looks pretty good. But the colors were a little too strong. I think this might be another three-auto one. But then, since then, they have really cleaned it up. And now they put this gloss. I don't know, you can kind of tell, right? That you can kind of see on the Jason Dominguez. You can put, there's like a little gloss that's on here now that looks really cool. So it really gives it a sort of artsy sort of look. What is this? Initiation insert. Couple of those as well. I like that Jason Dominguez, that sort of seafoam. That Jason Dominguez is really cool. I think he had a rough minor league season in 2021, but he should be back on track this year. 576 out of 600, that's Johan Rojas. That will be for Logan M and the Fightin' Fills. Oh, is that right? So Joe's saying this is almost like, I don't think the other cards had him. I don't think some of them did. So this almost indicates Bowman first. All right, I like that. It's the first year I'm seeing that. All right, and we got an Evan Carter. So this, yeah, so we had the Johan Rojas and the 289 out of 600 Evan Carter for the Texas Rangers. That's gonna be for Kevin who won that spot in the filler. No, this is a two-auto. Well, there's Maximo Costa, 49 out of 75. That is Gorman, supposed to be coming up soon. Quinn Priester, Austin Martin, and Nolan Jones. Right, yeah, Chad saying this means their first Bowman came in a 2021 product, is specifically what that's indicating. Their first was obviously in whatever Bowman product they were in earlier. We got an Ace L.A.C., 67 out of 99. What's this vortex that's surrounding him there? That almost looks like he's in the middle of a black hole and he's right in the event horizon. That's a primordial prospect. So is that the, you get it? That's the primordial soup from which prospects evolve if you're into that sort of thing, if you're into evolution. That goes to the Royals. That'll be Eric C. and Casey. And then we've got, for the Tigers, Gage Workman. 94 out of 600. Next box, are there books? This feels heavy. This means psyching myself out. All right, Austin Hendrick, O'Neill Cruz to 99. Drew Waters, Armando Cruz for the Nats. Patrick Bailey. So there are patch autos, Joe saying, all right, so there's a potential for them. Let's look out for that. And we've got, for the A's, we've got Pedro Pineda, 46 out of 49. Base prospect autograph card for Oakland, which will be for John Samuelson. There you go, John. And we've got an Ivan Johnson, 435 out of six, Ivan or Yvonne, you think. Nice, for Cincinnati. Dan O, we're on to Cincinnati. Who's a stud? The Pineda kid or the Reds kid? Three autos in this one, nice. All right, we've got a Hedbert Perez for the Brew Crew to 99. Christian Robinson, Gabriel Moreno, Hunter Bishop. Oh, the Pineda, there you go, John Samuelson. Guys in the chat are saying that guy's a stud, but you probably knew that since you picked that too. Three autos, we've got a national. Cole Henry, 582 out of 600. Joe P in the Nats, on the board. First of many, I hope, Joe. Thanks for giving this a shot. We've got, I like this design a lot, 52 out of 75, Carlos Rodriguez, primordial auto. In the primordial soup, where he may evolve as a big leaguer, evolve into a big leaguer, I'd love to see it. Seven out of 50, we got C.J. Van Eck.  C.J. Van Eck, Toronto Blue Jays. My head is not in baseball mode right now, so. Garrett with the Blue Jays, two autos. Gunnar Henderson, Bleday, Freeman, Alcantara. And we've got a Tanner Burns, Cleveland Indians. Seemed to be Guardians in 2022, 144 out of 600. Cleveland, this is for you. David with the tribe. And then we've got another Cleveland Indian. Angel Martinez, it's a personal box for you, David. David, this is for you. We've got both autos in the box. Next box, got a ways to go, boys and girls, so don't panic just yet. Got a ways to go, only halfway through this break.  It's Hedbert Perez. I really do like how they put that initiation stamp right there. There's Deshaun Knowles for the Halos. I don't know if I should be top-loading all those, but I'll do it for this break. Kevin, a lecture service there. And 109 out of 600. We've got Jefferson Cuero. All right, kind of a simple autograph, but with a unique design happening here. All right, that goes to John. So both of his Last Spot Mojo teams have now hit, 70% of the time. Last Spot Mojo hits 100% of the time. And we've got a Patrick Bailey for the Giants, 11 out of 99. That's Monty, who won the Giants in the filler. Ooh, three auto box, nice. Three auto box. Christian Hernandez, initiation. Three autos, three autos. Tigers, Daniel Cabrera. 42 out of 75. For the Motor City, Raymond picked up the Tigers straight up. For the Orioles, we've got Jordan Westberg. 167 out of 600. That'll be for Daniel, picked up the O's straight up. And the third auto is a Blue J, CJ Van X, out of 600, 365 out of 600. Again, I don't know if you can really notice this, but they did put a different sheen gloss on there that's different from previous years that really makes these pop. I'll bet, if you think these look good on, we feel like we've got pretty good production quality. If you think it looks good on our camera right now, I think it's gonna look even better in person, maybe under some natural lighting or something like that. Ooh, and an out of five on top. Train whistle. And that is Jared Kelly. For the Chicago White Sox, two out of five. I don't know what the parallel names are, but this looks pretty sharp. Nice, I like the ETA that they have here when you can expect them to come up. He was second round looks like, drafted second round, 47th overall. That's not bad. White Sox, Nicholas, Nicholas Carrillo, won the White Sox, oh Nick, out of fives and under all aboard, the big hit express, whoo-hoo. I like that. There's Pedro Paneta inception or initiation that is, and there's Uenis's half brother, Yoelki Cespidis. You had the White Sox in the first case? You were that close to your first train whistle. This, I didn't pick this case. This is a Jason picked case. He left it in our cabinet here. Ooh, nice Christian Hernandez. I think he's one of the Cubs bigger prospects. They're 37 out of 50 in that primordial soup, Burke, with the Cubs. Wanted to evolve into a big leaguer, maybe a perennial all-star. We got a national. We got Sammy Infante, 366 out of 600. These are all on-card autographs. Patch autos might be a little different. Yeah, big hit on that Christian Hernandez. Cubs, Burke Thomas, by the way, and Joe P, a second national for you. And we still have two, four, six, eight, 10, 12 autos to go. One auto box? Oh, I see, that's a different ink. Cool. Two autos, but we got different ink, different pattern, different design. All right, we've got Luis Rodriguez, one of the Dodgers international prospects that they got coming up the ranks, out of 25. Brian Crouch got randomized my Dodgers. There's Peh Chihuan, there's Yirikap, Torkelson, and Carlos Gulmanadas. These are all their initiation cards. Oh, and you think what this, I think they used to be the green parallels? I don't know, maybe they're just different now. We've got for the Rangers David Garcia, 23 out of 600. I like that, I didn't really care for those green parallels. Remember, some of you may remember them in previous inception, but I do like that initiation stamp right there. David Garcia goes to the Rangers, Kevin who won that spot. And what do we got here? We've got a Armando Cruz, 94 out of 99 for the Nationals. Joe P won the spot in the filler, got the Nationals, initially didn't like what he saw. He was like, ah, Nationals. But then he looked at the checklist and he's like, you know what? There's actually some decent prospects here. Here's one of them, Silver signings. There you go, man. Happy Christmas. Silver signings. Silver signings. It's Silver signings time in the city. All right, there's Maximil Costa, five out of 50, Christian Santana, and an Angel Martinez. All right, next two, we've got Jared Jones, 188 out of 600. Jones! Pirates, that's gonna be for Dan O. And the buck O's. Belongs in a museum. No, Dr. Jones, you belong in a museum. 71 out of 99, Eduardo Garcia for the brew crew. John G, next box. Yeah, I might write some Christmas songs, maybe next year. I'll write a Christmas original. Silver Sigs. It's case break time in the city. All right, Redemption Auto, two autos. All right, we got DeSean Knowles, 99 out of 99 for the halos. We got Manuel Beltre, Mick Abell, Alexander Vizcaino, Josh Young. Brakesville time. All right, we got Andy Rodriguez, 440 out of 600. 600, 600. Six hundo, I'll stick with it. Dan O, with the out of six hundo, buck O. Redemption, congratulations, someone, you are due to receive a base prospect autograph blue foil parallel. We'll see the city first. Chad is saying, Julio coming? What do we have here? No, it's Spencer Torkelson. Nice, that is awesome, congrats. One of the Tigers big hitting prospects, former number one overall pick.  One autographed in inception. Two, two autographs in inception. Three, three autographs in this inspection box. There's Reginald Preciado, that is to 50. Jeter Downs, Bobby O'Junior, et cetera, et cetera. We got Daniel Cabrera, 430 out of 600. Maybe Spencer Torkelson's, that's right. Spencer Torkelson did go to ASU, right? Arizona State University. And hopefully Spencer's future teammate. Right, here that goes to Raymond in Detroit. We got one for the Padres, that's Victor Acosta. Seven out of 25. Well, it's went to Arizona State University. Did Dustin Padrella go to ASU? And we've got Brian Ramos for the White Sox. 322 out of 600. Did Buster Posey go to ASU? Trybond went to college, right? All right, final two. These were the ones that were stuck at the bottom of the box. All right, so we're down to our four autographs. Get the Lucky Rabbits foot out, fingers crossed. If you haven't hit yet, yes, now is the time to panic. You can panic now. Two autographs in this one. All right, we got Brennan Davis to 99. Pedro Leon, Vargas for the tribe, that's Isaiah Green. 436 out of 600. David in the tribe. Florida State for Posey, a different SU. Just off by a few letters. And we've got, for the Diamondbacks, that's Jefferson Espinal, 16 out of 75. Again, big thanks to everybody who helped fill up this break, especially with the filler. And let's see what our final two autographs are gonna be. Okay, Redemption, one auto, and a thicker car. That just looks like it's just cut thicker. It's a little weird, all right. All right, we've got Gunnar Henderson, 55 out of 75 for the O's, Daniel Nelson. Autograph is for the Tampa Bay Rays, Eddie Bertha Hernandez, 15 out of 25. That's a great looking parallel. Look at that, look at that. That pops. That sort of orange foil that's right there. I like it. Tampa Bay, that goes to Abraham, where the Tampa Bay Rays won that spot in the filler. Thanks for getting in on that one, Abraham. Appreciate it. All right, and the Redemption. You are due to receive a primordial, that's the one with the soup, where they're in the primordial soup evolving as a baseball player. Primordial prospect autograph of Chad Dodd doubling down on the Julio Rodriguez. We'll see the city, we should see the city first, unless the name is long. L, Los Angeles, O, S, angels or Dodgers. It's, I think Dodgers. Luis Rodriguez for the Dodgers, nice. Brian Crouch won that spot and ends up with this primordial prospect autograph. There you go. Thanks, everybody. We'll do a quick recap in just a second, but let's give away those two St. Nick spots first. So let's flip back to the list right here. Wait for that to reload. Now, as you saw in the description, in the details, not only on the schedule page, but on the website, only people who bought their teams full spots are eligible for this promo. So apologies to the people who won their spots, but congrats again on winning spots. Hopefully we got you some hits as well. All right, so that turns out to be 17, that's a really good odds, 17 names. Right, yeah, cause we gave away 13 teams, that's correct. 17 names, that's an excellent odds to try to win yourself two of those St. Nick spots in the grand prize. It's pretty awesome. Check out the details on jaspyscasebreaks.com. All right, so there's the group right here. Thank you everybody for giving this a shot. Let's roll it, let's randomize that list. Four and a three, lucky seven times. Top two after seven, one, two. There's no hiding it. So you're just gonna see the top two after seven. Three, four, five, six, and seventh and final time after seven, Eric and Aaron.    So big thanks to you for grabbing your team straight up here in Pick Your Team 2. Pick Your Team 3 on jaspyscasebreaks.com ladies and gentlemen, a lot of teams you can still get straight up to try to be part of the promo.  They just got better odds in the promo. So don't make it easy for them. Get your team straight up on jaspyscasebreaks.com. It's a cool silver signature right there. That's what the primordial is gonna look like. That's a nice hit too. An out of five base card. Prospect hunting ladies and gentlemen, someday we're hoping that these players will become household names. Hopefully all of these players, that'd be really nice if all of these players ended up being household names. So thanks everybody. Thanks for watching. Thanks for breaking with us. That was Pick Your Team 2. I'm Joe and I'll see you next time for the next break. Bye-bye.


Hello everyone, my name is Banana Vaheem and I'm a product manager from Microsoft working with the Microsoft Cloud for Energy team. I'm so excited to be here connecting with you all and planning for the next six months. Today, Kadri and I will be kicking off a series of Microsoft presentations with an overview of the Microsoft Cloud implementation of OSDU platform. I'd like to start by highlighting Microsoft's commitment to the OSDU community and how from day zero we recognize the promise of common standards and the hyperscale power of cloud computing and we knew that together they could solve the data problem. We also made a commitment to learn from our customers through every step of the process. And that's exactly what we've done. We have been hearing customer needs since the R3 launch and we found that the common denominator is the need to improve the user experience and to ensure that the OSDU instance is enterprise ready and able to handle production support. And that is why we delivered Azure Data Manager for Energy, which is, or add me for short as you've heard it being referred to as throughout the sessions, which was very nice to see, which is a managed OSDU offering that provides enterprise grade service and support. To make this happen, we dedicated over 100 developers to work on add me and we made sure that it is easy to deploy and support. We also made sure to thoroughly test it for stability so that you can be confident that it is a reliable product. And to put it simply, as far as reliability goes, add me is a Microsoft product. So similar to Azure SQL database, it comes with the same level of enterprise grade security, scalability, and performance, making sure that it is a robust offering that is not just a framework or an auto deployment script. So don't just hear it from me. We do have a couple of videos that I do hopeful work, because I haven't tested this yet, to showcase some of the key functionalities of add me. Yeah, it works. So the first one is the ease of deployment. So our team worked tirelessly to make sure that the deployment of add me, your OSDU instances is easy and quick. So this is just a two-click deployment process that you can see here. And if you do want to see it kind of on a bigger screen, you can find me or anybody from Microsoft and we'll be happy to walk you through it. So it went from a very lengthy and challenging process to just a few clicks. It was a huge improvement in the user experience. So this second video shows you how add me transforms how you update version and visualize your data. So with all of your data in one place, you can now easily integrate it with your productivity workflows. For example, and you can, I hope you can see this here, you can ingest your well logs and send alerts via Microsoft Teams and also visualize your data using Power BI. And in this last video, it shows how you can use add me to integrate your domain data onto compatible business applications such as Petrel, making it a seamless experience to integrate with your business workflows. And that is what you can see here on the screen. And so that's what I had to share today. And I will, before I hand it off to Cudry to provide you all with a deeper dive on really what goes into add me, I do just want to say that if you or any company that you're working with is looking for production ready OSTU instances, then Azure Data Manager for Energy is the solution for you. Thank you. And I will hand it off to Cudry. Thank you so much. Is this? Okay. Cool. I hate talking behind this thing, but anyways, no worries. Thanks. Yeah. So first of all, it's just super, super exciting to see so many people in the room. When we first started the OSTU, it was, you were able to fit in a meeting room in Shell's Wood Creek campus and we have some friends from there still holding on and bringing this to the state. So it's great to see the expansion here, the interest. Thank you very much. Especially this is one of the last sessions. So thank you for being with us. This is Cudry. So I'm a proud elected member of the OMC and then I'm also doing some work with the OPC Foundation and OSTU liaison around the streaming data. So it's very, very exciting to be here. Let me start with one thing that we've been hearing loud and clear is that we just don't want a data platform. We want beyond that. We want to have out of the box workflows implemented and we've been hearing this from our customers and our partners for the last five, six years where we keep on working with them closely. So we've been working with OSTU since release zero and release zero was being deployed into actual customer environment. So since then we've been working closely and you heard some of those presentations and you will hear some of them in the next couple of days. But one of the things that I think we're doubling down on is the out of the box workflows. So you're getting your business, getting the applications that you need to run your business, whatever is needed between that and running those end-to-end workflows on OSTU. So that's our number one thing and we're basically focusing on three more very important things as bananas alluded to. One is the first thing is the, I call it the fundamentals, but it's really having the platform scalable, secure, deployable, manageable, et cetera. That's the basic promise, but as a consumer, as an end user, when you get the platform you should make sure that it performed, you should be able to monitor it, run it, and you shouldn't spend weeks or months trying to deploy the platform on your environment. So that's the first thing that we are looking at. The second one, as I mentioned, is the workflows.  You shouldn't spend again weeks and months trying to get them. And I think the third thing that we're trying to achieve together with OSTU on Azure is the data piece. So the data should be, it should be findable. You should be able to find your data. It should be scalable. It should be secure, et cetera. So, and it should be liberated. So the data should be accessible from any application and also applications like Power BI or Grafana, whatever the application environment is. So it shouldn't be any property. It should be accessible through open schemas and open API. So that's what we're investing most of our time. And during this journey, as I said, we've been working together with our partners and with our customers, day one, because we want to make sure that the workflows that you need are delivered. So here you see an example with our part of our co-built engagement with SLB. So you see the Petrel and Techlog working together with other data types. And we want to enable these workflows out of the box. Tomorrow, you'll hear from us around some interoperability sessions. So one of them is very interesting. If you look into the agenda, we'll have a session where SLB and Halliburton will be on the stage together with Microsoft and Acre BP. So it's not a typo. Actually, you will see an interoperability scenario in the context of data mesh. So we are really serious with workflows and we are really serious with interoperability. That's what we're achieving, I would say. One of the things, this is interesting. It's a quote from my colleague and partner in crime, Owen. I think the reason why I love this is it kind of like shows. If you ask me what's your vision with OSTU on Azure, I will tell you this is my vision. We as cloud service providers, we should be doing the heavy lifting. We should be doing the application. I call it infrastructure and make it in an enterprise ready way. So that my colleagues like Owen will spend most of their time to find cleaner energy and more energy to the world. So the energy, the world's energy problem. So that's why, thanks for setting the vision statement for Azure Data Manager for Energy, Owen. Thank you. There's also a video on this. So if you look into Microsoft's ADME website and you will see the Equinoa video, the video is much more interesting. So, yeah, it's absolutely worth it. So how do we do that? Again, I'm not going to get into the details. I have to talk for the whole day probably. But we look into OSTU in the middle, which is, yeah. We keep on changing the name so I cannot keep up with the slide, sorry. So we have the Azure Data Manager for Energy on the middle. But it's basically the OSTU engine that does the ingestion, the curation, the discovery, and the consumption. And then we provide and support the OSTU APIs so that our ecosystem can build applications. And then also, we also provide out-of-the-box integration with the productivity stack, like Power Apps and Power BI. I had the pleasure of writing the first Power BI connector, which is pretty still much the same. And also, I had the pleasure of testing it with the four clouds. So it works, there's still one, it should be somewhere still in the GitHub, the version that works with all the clouds. And on the right-hand side, you see the Azure Purview, which is our version of Apache Atlas as a service. And then you see the Synapse, which is our version of Apache Spark. So we're also looking into integrating OSTU with the new models, like LLMs are a big thing nowadays, OpenAI and all these services. But as I said in the beginning, we're doubling down nowadays on getting the fundamentals out so that you have a reliable platform out with enterprise capabilities. And then what that landed us with just a few of the logos that you see here. Again, this is one of the slides I gave up in continuing to try to put the logos. Yeah, just we can talk about it. But I just want to talk about one of them, which is because I just don't have time. I have like seven, eight minutes to talk about all of that. So I just picked one. I do apologize for my other partners here. But with Rock, what they have done is basically they have decades of experience in cleaning log data, well log data. And then they put all of this experience to train an AI model, which kind of like when you feed the well logs and it's runs in massive scale, it basically gets out what are the problems with those logs. So again, it addresses one of the key areas where we address is the data quality availability and findability of the data. And what it does, it does something really interesting stuff. Not only can identify things like here's a piece of missing data or this well header is wrong or whatever. It also does things like, well, this looks like a gamma ray. I mean, you're telling that this is a gamma ray log, but actually it doesn't look like a gamma ray log. So there's something wrong with your tagging or labeling. So it also finds that kind of information. It's really a purposely trained AI model where you can get millions of well logs and then you get quality tested data out of it, which can generate ingestion scripts for OSTU and it gets into OSTU. And they also have developed power BI based data quality dashboards for that manner. But again, as I said, just one example. And where I want to conclude with is the work we're also doing with the rest of the Microsoft. So we're also looking into getting OSTU at the heart and having a robust OSTU which integrates with, we gave the example when I actually showed the video about the power BI that works out of the box. It's pretty good. Then we also looked into things like, okay, so how do we get like 3D models of some assets and put them in the 3D modeler in the digital twin environment and then see how it works? So those are the ones that you see on the right. We got it on a HoloLens and actually it was an interesting experience. We used the HoloLens metaverse application. So, and then there you can have like avatars of different people. And then it was so real that I tried to handshake with the avatar of my friend. And it was, it was, from our team, it was very interesting. And then the last one you see here is, we're demonstrating it. And if you come to our Houston Center of Excellence, we're demonstrating it together with SLB. It's actually a CO2 plume dispersion model in one of the CCS storage projects that we've been doing. Again, this is a view from HoloLens. And I will stop here, otherwise I won't stop. Again, thanks, thanks for being with us with this journey. And then hopefully next year we won't be able to fit here, maybe a bigger. Dennis will be happy with that, he likes to get those challenges. Thank you so much, thanks.
