And then we read this chapter 4 of Luke where Holy Spirit leads Jesus into wilderness. He leads him into fasting. He leads him into prayer. You know, sometimes we want to be leaders. We all want to rise up to be great influencers. We all want to rise up to be great people. But for Holy Spirit to be able to lead you, you have to have a quality of being led. Many people have a great gift of leadership. And they have a horrible characteristic to follow. They cannot follow orders. They give orders. They know how to bark orders on other people. But when it comes to following orders from somebody else, they just can't do that. Imagine Jesus being Son of God, yet on the earth he's showing to us what it's like to live men in submission to the Holy Spirit. And that allows the Holy Spirit to orchestrate his life and to bring him to a place where he is not going to eat, where he's going to sacrifice food for 40 days to get something better than food, to get closer to God, to overcome the enemy, to have a personal victory in his life, to have the victory that Adam should have had in the Garden of Eden, to have the victory Israel should have had in the wilderness, but they failed in. Sometimes when we think of leading of the Holy Spirit, we immediately assume the Holy Spirit is going to lead us to great things, powerful things. And that is 100% true. The only thing is that I think we miss sometimes the cost it's going to take to get to those things. And the Holy Spirit will reveal to us, hey, this is what I'm taking you, I'm taking you to great things, but he doesn't tell us the path and the route he's going to take there. And the path is always going to be this. If you're going to want great things, you're going to have to be willing to sacrifice good things. Food is good. Food is very good for those of you who are fasting know what I'm talking about. But food is very good. Food is not evil. Food is not pornography. Food is not some lying, cheating or beating or gossiping. Food is a good thing from God. But see, when you want to be used by God, when you want to have great things, this is where Holy Spirit is leading you, but he's leading you by giving up the good so he can get you to the great. Many of us, we want the Holy Spirit to jump us from sacrificing so we can have the good and the great at the same time. And we think that is the key to being really used by the Holy Spirit if we can keep my life and get God's life at the same time. My friend, that doesn't exist. You cannot have eternal life in heaven until you give up earthly life on earth. You cannot say, I want to be in heaven and live in Pasco. Now, you can daydream, you can do a movie about it, you can write a book about it, but you cannot be in both places. You can't be in something great until you're willing to give up something good. If the Holy Spirit is leading you to give up something good, it's a signature, he is taking you to something that is great. If Holy Spirit is leading you to giving up certain things, then you may say, man, other people are not giving this up. It means the Holy Spirit is leading you to something great, but it has to lead you through something that is giving up of the good. When it comes to fasting, it's giving up good. Why? So you can have something great. When it comes to giving money, when living sacrificially, why do you have to do that? Because you're giving up something good, do you have something great? You want a path to greatness? It's a sacrifice of good.

There's really no hit in this case. There's an autograph a box fast break is a More of a retail edition So it's not quite a hobby level, but it does have different parallels in here There'll be some fast break exclusive parallels here So we just we just want to look for The big names in that 2020 draft class is what we're what we're looking for. Let me pull that up 2020 MBA draft So like I mentioned before We're talking the anthony edwards james weisman lambello ball patrick williams akongu akoru obi top and dania visa Tyrese halberton So on and so forth So the big hit is just finding the big the big rookie names Maybe some low numbered parallels, but there isn't like a traditional There's like a case hit or anything like that Joya, thank you. Have a good one. You as well I'll let yeah chat. I'll let you know if if you if you get something if it's good I'll definitely let you know. I'm sure the chat will be excited. They'll let you know There's some possibility at uh At retired player or vet player autographs in here as well. So there's a little bit of an opportunity for that Don't watch much basketball that you're missing out chat Great time to be watching basketball A lot of exciting young players In the mix. All right, here's box one. Good luck in all card ships That's another good thing this break. All right, just the interest of time. We're gonna Breeze through these pretty quickly There's our first anthony edwards So those are your fast break parallels right there All these anthony edwards is is is it's going to go to nicol That was a good good randomizer for nicol And we got seth curry two out of 85. That's going to go to the sixers Tristan Tyrese maxi And a redemption and he guesses on this redemption. I don't think this would be I don't think this would be expired Hopefully not. I think we're still within the I think we're still within this the time We've got a jared allen to 10 Nice low number here for the cab that's going to be for jenna cook and cleveland calves But you had a well you had quartzide seats. Where? Where did you for what teams you have quartzide seats? But you're growing to 300 selfies a game came home with only with one image only Pissed you off and left a bad taste for basketball for the blazers.  Don't let that person Uh control your enjoyment of the game Here's col anthony It's like a variation right there. There's more anthony edwards another lamello That's going to go to charlotte. Steve birch has the hornets all right redemption Is luka donchich Autographs fast break luka donchich. He still got until june of 2023 Dallas That's where nicholas won a spot in the filler Got randomized. Dallas gets the luka redemption. It's not bad And a free top loader too. Look at that All right, nice start box one This is part one of two and do the first full uh fast break case here And then the second video will be the other case For a total of two Is that you nicholas? I think I think it is experienced basketball. Nicholas. I haven't I haven't made that connection yet, but he's saying hell yes. I'm assuming yes You know what helps the pace of this break the fast break is actually not fast You know what helps the pace of this break these packs open real nicely If they could make every pack Rip as smoothly as this That'd be a case breakers dream Does anyone else have yes everyone? Everyone does Okay, although a lot of times it's really It's really based on the player Not getting those redemptions and not necessarily the manufacturer most of the time All right, here's a base anthony edwards. We're looking for parallels Here, nicole. Let's let's find some numbered cards here. Maybe even an autograph My Lakers playing the tea wolves tomorrow night in a play-in game I guess what's good for the hobby? I'd like to see anthony edwards With like a 40 point triple double, but the Lakers to win. Can I have both? 21 out of 50 kelly olinik for miami. That'll be for nicole You know, if you don't want to wait a lot of times they they can they can offer you something they often Can offer you something else in return. Here's jaden mcdaniel's rookie auto For nicole and the tea wolves I mean, there's really nothing you can do nicolas with the maves You just scratch off the little thing and Submit the redemption and hope they have it there's really no No way to make that process go faster Especially if they haven't gotten the assets back from the player It seems to be the case For for a lot of players. There's lugans dork 57 out of 85 for okc.  There you go a little v for variation right there uh Jenna with the calves Who's the player also depends on the player And also depends on what they're offering you in exchange At the national which is in chicago this year. I see a lot of a lot of people I think you can take redemptions to panini The panini booth at the national and I think they'll uh They'll often hook you always something else I don't know if you have plans for the national chat, but That could be a possibility The fields rookie judge two cards Aaron judge, I feel like He's pretty good about signing stuff. Oh, I guess is it Is it tops Aaron judge stuff or panini Aaron judge stuff either way I mean, it's it's a bit of a time. It's a bit of a hassle, but I've heard some people have a good experience. Um Or a better experience Calling you know calling panini and trying to get someone on the phone and kind of hammer something out sort of a A squeaky wheel getting getting the oil kind of situation Squeaky wheel squeaky gate. Maybe a squeaky gate anything squeaky Killing and haze I want to make an appearance here that is for simon in detroit fast break autograph Not received one one card from them in 18 months who called left messages The email of course tops five days. So tops is on top of it Yeah, I don't know. I mean at at this point I mean it would be nice to get that chest in field before the football season Steve birch has charlotte I'll be getting all those lamellos So you can find some lamello parallels like this Nice. This is the kind of stuff we want to see This is an NBA debut lamello the fast break parallel first of many I hope all those add up and then You know, I'm sure there's grading possibilities for a lot of those cards as well It's which which is not a bad idea and if they grade out Well, and they've continued to play well. It's all all good things here And behind chris paul a Celtic autograph Peyton pritchard. No not an autograph a variation I think he Was it chad someone was telling me this guy had like a this goes to chad cromwell. I think chad da different chad chad Did he have like a 30 point triple double the other night? That's a paywall Peyton pritchard just began the third tall experience to yeah The third year point guard scored 30 point 9 of 16 from three point with 14 rebounds and 11 assists in 46 minutes of play It's pretty good. It's a nice little boost going to the playoffs The sadee bay 10 out of 50 For detroit that's going to be for simon. All right another box Mets are up 5-0 on the Padres No basketball scores to look up, but is there any basketball news? The team will suspending rudigo bear for the play inverse of the lakers The Lakers fan that makes me happy NBA set the record set records for attendance and sellouts in 2022-23 I think clifford that's the hornets coach. I think saying must win to prevent a lamello ball exit Luca on the future of the madrigs. I'm happy here. He says yeah, I think uh, I think yeah, they do have to start charlotte doesn't have to start winning they want to get If you want to retain the mellow ball and get them on a second contract I guess luke is happy in dallas, but dallas has got to do some stuff. They got to put some work in too I think they're I think they want to re-sign kairi Which is fine, but I feel like they got to add some Some role players around them guys who can play some defense The defensive struggles well documented and it's Probably why they're not in the playoffs right now Even though you want to see star power like luka donch it to the playoffs. All right, let's keep going There's a nice anthony edwards fast break parallel That's for nicole and the timberwolves With the spot that she won nice It's the kind of stuff we're looking for now. Maybe we can find some numbered stuff low numbered stuff autos Another anthony edwards and we've got an anthony edwards variation. Nice nicole with the timberwolves You see the difference right there. That's the base rookie card and that's That's the variation Awesome. There's robin lopez 10 out of 85 There's robin's brother And we've got a erin bane's fast break autograph for torano It's for chad and the raptors dino dna I think the dodgers giants game might be happening soon It's a little bit of an earlier start Yeah, they're starting soon. We'll get the pregame show on All right, we got uh, let's whip around Let's whip around baseball. Sandy alcantara surrenders nine runs to the fillies gets pulled in the fifth Fillies beat the marlins 15 to three. They pounded out 20 hits braze Continuing to win they haven't lost yet this season. They're 10 and 0 now braze beat the redsox one nothing Thanks to brennan louse late home run The record is 13 Astros beat the pirates in pittsburgh three hit the pirates Astros win eight two yordan alvarez two RBI single caps off a big astro inning Orioles beat the a's five to one Guardians edged out the yankees three to two And then the white socks beat the twins four to three Hands are alberto crushing up three run homerun to give the white socks the lead Dylan sees has the win kenta maeda takes the loss Those are your finals. We'll go through some uh In-progress games in the next box We got a gold tyrese haliburton six out of ten for the kings Tristan it's acromeo There's lamello, and we've got a greg osertag remember greg osertag fast break autograph steve birch in the utah jazz There's logan here. He'll remember it's greg osertag national pride anthony at words for nicole in minnesota We got ruchon holm seven out of 20 For the kings tristan national pride lamello And then we got another anthony edwards variation Hopefully one of those two Ends up being a ps8 ten nicole All those add up. All right next this might take longer than an hour I think the timer on my stream We're at the 30 minute mark So five boxes 30 minutes So maybe one case is two hours That's 30 minutes 30 minutes 30 minutes Fast break not fast at all Glad I split it up Games in progress cardinals are in colorado. They're down two to three Rangers leading the royals four to one bottom of the fifth top of the eighth cubs leading the m's two to one Same score in atlanta braves up two to one The mets leading the pod race five nothing The only games that haven't started are uh nationals angels That's starting like five minutes Brewer's diamond back starting soon Dodger's giant starting in about 15 minutes Ask for this rig hang in there We'll get through it together If you're watching live Although I don't think anyone's watching live I think everyone's just left Everyone's left the chat just leaving me on my own Yeah, everyone else took their took their lunch break Justin They're like, ah It's an hour and a half. We'll see joe and then about an hour and a half. We'll go run some errands You can probably go grocery shopping and come back and I'd still be ripping this case I know erin rogers has not found a home yet chad small murray 85 Jenna with denver is that ever gonna happen? I feel like the I mean what what would the jets do? I mean was devin vasel for the spurs I mean erin rogers all but said he's going to He wants to go to the jets. It's just like those two teams have to work things out Tristan with the spurs. Is there a chance that no there's no chance. They'll get that deal done I do remember I do remember like seeing on espn or afl network or something like that That there's a certain date Where the cap hit becomes different? I think I think if they for example if The jets and packers trade now the The cap hit for the packers will be one number There's a lugans door at five out of ten nice ludort Okay, see nicolas But after another date That um that cap number gets cut in half or gets split in half One impacting this season or the other half impacting the next season So there's a chance that they may be waiting for that But I think that date isn't until like I want to say it's like well after the draft June 1st, maybe That number seems to be popping in my head We've got another anthony edwards variation There you go nicolas Ah rex is listening but working because one of your guys called off again Four times out in a two and a half month span three times in a month two times in a row sounds like this guy's Gotta go rex Who can we talk to about this? Yeah, I gotta think it gets done too right and the jets are doing everything to To to get all of erin rogers's friends in new york as well Except rodel beckham jr. Who signed with the ravens. What does everyone think about that? That's think that was a one big bit of football news today The rodel beckham jr. On a one-year deal for like 15 million bucks With the ravens and I think that makes I think uh Which I think makes lamar jackson happy but I don't think that makes Some other teams happy because I think It kind of messes up the wide receiver market a little bit Because I think the thing was looking at watching on nfl network where the cardinals were exploring trades for Deandre hopkins and if deandre hopkins gets moved and wants to rework his deal or whatever And he might be going like well if that guy That guy got 15 million a year. What about me? I'm a lot better than that guy Yeah, well the union has been more than 20 years. Oh Tough to get rid of You know what's cute right because that's One of those union guys All rex hopefully someday that'll be you You'll be the one taking the days off You don't get a lamar not committed. That was either all about the money or something. I think it's I think it's about the money You're shawn kemp Cavs edition of shawn kemp That'll go to jenem Yeah, I think I think lamar jackson I'm pretty sure he's committed to playing the game But you know but not for Not for anything less that he thinks he deserves and I think uh And he's put up a lot of uh He's put up a lot of numbers.  There's a manual quickly A little variation go to mario and the nicks If you were the ravens, you wouldn't give it to them either Then what are you gonna do at quarterback?  Who's gonna acquiesce To to each other's deal I guess the ravens are probably thinking If someone doesn't make him an offer or You know, some doesn't make him an offer or the trade doesn't get done I think you do whatever you can in the draft To make it a lamar jackson friendly draft and then convince him to say Hey, I know we're gonna make we're gonna make you a very well-paid quarterback But we got to talk a little bit about the guaranteed money You got to move that around a little bit I don't know Help us help us get there It's really impossible. I think to win this we can give the quarterback 51 braady to the right take less win seven well It's easy for braady to do when you're all all but assured winning the afc east every year And having one of the best coaches In the nfl in nfl history I mean that helps For for lamar jackson. I'm sure I'm sure if he was assured that And he was assured that the baltimore ravens organization will put the weapons around and put the coaching around him Put the team around to get Him there. I'm sure he would save. Oh, yeah fine. I'll take less if you're guaranteeing chips Brady I feel like such a unique situation. You almost have to put him out of any conversation Especially in terms of contract. I can't just point to braady be like well, he took less And then the player would be like well look at his team.  That'll be for simon anti edwards base going into coal But you're right. We can't give a quarterback 50 million dollars plus a year and then And then try to uh Try to build another team around that Which is why I feel like here's nice james weissman variation, which is why I feel like uh It's chatcromo of the warriors. I feel like a lot of teams are trying to take advantage of Of like quarterbacks on rookie contracts You know in that first five years try to try to win something or something like that and then Try to kind of build around that sort of seems to be the formula The more you don't think can win the big game. You don't like that throwing motion It's gotten better And to be honest, I mean Who's who's he really throwing to? I mean mark andries is great, but Has he had a decent receiver to throw to there's rj. Barrett to 50 like mark, he's brown could tear the top off the coverage, but It's hit or miss whether he whether he'd catch the ball or not We got a isiah rider for the teawolves fast break autograph for nicole That's 50 million. Are you make your wide receiver great? Yeah But But you know, I mean, I think the ravens know they're not getting paid manning You know or classic pocket quarterback So if they know that then why weren't they? You know you're doing you're doing your quarterback at the service You're not supplying in with some decent receivers Even if they're not the household name receivers I don't know. It's a tricky situation. I think that's kind of what has maybe soured that relationship a little bit You know kind of in the way that made the packers And erin rogers relationship sort of soured No, I don't think any team has publicly come out and said, uh Oh, is that mookie bets with a leadoff knock? Nice Yeah, there you go There you go mookie hustling around the bases No, and I don't think a team would why why would a team express any interest? The second they do that You would you would lose you would lose a lot of leverage You know, you're gonna you're gonna be losing two first round picks anyway We got a josh green Rookie autograph for dallas. That's gonna be for nicholas And we got a paid and pritchard variation That's for the Celtics. That's for chad Royce O'Neill to 50 There anthony edwards Ladies and gentlemen, I think this break is a two hour break. I think this entire break is a four hour break Let me have to adjust my times here So by the time I finish this refuel and do another two hour case I think we might almost be towards the end of the night No, I don't want to wait till I just want to knock all this out now Because we're already at the hour mark. We're at 48 minutes. So that's another like 25 30 minutes each And it's a two hour break Thankfully, we don't have any more Mosaic fast break in the store But the way uh with the way baseball games have been going These days with the pitch clock and things being sped up and things being a lot more efficient Just a chance at this Dodger's Giants game Maybe over before I finish this this break As crazy as that might sound Got another home run for the oh, no, they were replaying the movie vets home run Thankfully this break is actually Kind of a breeze all the cards are right side up You know the variations are flipped around which is helpful The packs open smoothly It's james weissman variation for chat Cromwell and the warriors It's Peyton Pritchard to 85 for the Celtics So if you're just joining us folks just take a look at the updated schedule Turns out one case is going to be about an hour and a half to two hours And I need I misjudged this monster. I'm going to need like two monster boxes here, too There's devin the sell fast break autograph for the spurs tristan also Think of uh, think of our sorting and chipping team A break like this with so many cards or all card ship Just keep in mind that it's going to Probably take a tiny bit longer than you're used to seeing your breaks So give it some extra time Although I feel like the shipping team's been We haven't had really long breaks. I think our shipping team's been pretty on top of it. So this might Actually ship out during its normal time Now chat was asking earlier. Uh, what? What does arizona do with that third pick In the nfl draft, what does arizona do? I mean, they should trade back right if they're not going to take a quarterback If they could find a quarterback desperate team who wants to get Up to that third spot I feel like without kyler murray. I don't know when kyler murray is coming back without but without kyler murray I'm assuming he's missing a chunk of the season You know, they're not going to get a quarterback. So my guess is that I mean, they should trade down I don't know if anyone wants to take kyler murray's contract You think they draft a qb I would be shocked if they draft a qb Because no one's going to take that no one's going to take kyler's contract I mean, I think I think you Quarterback wise, I think you kind of say hey, this is a sort of a wash Sort of not a lost season, but They're kind of in a transitional period. They they got the a quarterback that went healthy It's pretty exciting But he's also on the smaller side So why not spend this season just Working on the offensive line working on some more pass catchers Trade that take that third pick trade down get more picks Add to the defense Steven Chenzo For milwauki that'll go to chad And then if you trade de andre hopkins, you could probably get some some picks from him Free up a little bit of money So we're gonna do a little mini reset. There's Tyler Bay A fast break autograph going to Nicholas and Dallas One out of ten nice little number on that one Murray is a virus chad saying that's harsh. They have to take a qb. They have to take a qb You think Murray's out this year two years into the contract done You consider him a jamarcus rustle. I don't know about that Jamarcus rustle provided absolutely nothing, you know jamarcus rustle Did not In 2021 Kyler married almost 4,000 yards passing 24 touchdowns 10 interceptions 100.6 qb rating 69.2 completion rating Here's a lamella. Jamarcus rustle is not close to that I think I think you're if you're comparing Kyler Murray to Jamarcus rustle, that's I think you're way off. There's Joe Harris to 85 It's for the Nets that's for Steve Birch Yeah, it's my favorite player Jamarcus put some respect on his name denia visa variation for Steve Birch and the wizards I mean, it's not like baseball where you can just really Well, I guess I guess you can release anybody in the nfl But I think because he's getting paid so much There's a lot of cap implications That really hamfists you It gets your hands tied. I mean I said they might just be like, hey, it's easy. Just cut the guy When you're getting quarterback money and the way those contracts are probably structured his cap hit might be you know might be Really restrictive in terms of making other moves And then you're just kind of handcuffed for however many years I think you're just kind of stuck with him Because of that is you're just kind of stuck with him For better or for worse and you're hoping that that the The moments of brilliance that he has shown You know that you could work with that But I mean is any of those quarterbacks? I mean, I don't know. I don't watch college enough, but Will levis Bryce young cj strad are those Are those a clear cut better options than kyler murray? Yeah, she is a smaller core of it. I don't think he takes the same hits that tula does though I feel like kyler murray is better about that Than say for example tula I mean I would I would think if I'm the dolphin's I would think about moving away from tula before Before I'd move away from kyler murray That's dirk nowitzki behind him is avry johnson for the spurs That'll be for tristan a national pride anthony edwards mba debu la mella ball Has there been drama in the locker room? kyler murray another anthony edwards variation How's this uh dual case been Not not bad all things considered do you want some helps back with the rest of those boxes? No, you do you do your work All my dinner is um Now then you enjoy your dinner then Steve birch with charlotte's markel folds to 85 Yeah, I I think I heard too that this is a deep draft class which Is why Which is why there's no but deep but Maybe with individual core wreck not being Not having as high of a ceiling I don't know something like that So if i'm the if so if it's if that class is that deep Then I would take that third pick trade that down trade that down and uh Add to other parts of the team And then why not get a quarterback in like the third or fourth round or something like that as kyler murray insurance You know Why are we paying third pick quarterback money when we're already paying another quarterback? If you really wanted that kyler murray insurance with a deep draft class just take a quarterback and and third fourth round Probably more value taking a quarterback there In terms of money and upside and then you have a young guy Young hungry quarterback in the quarterback room that might uh You know that might you know light of fire under kyler murray Haven't stopped playing video games Oh, I didn't need help right because I don't need help Who said I needed help 13 left in the diamond of And the eight full spots. Yeah, we can squeeze in a diamond dozen break later tonight There's a desmond bain variation Memphis tristan And as I am willing some gold Everyone could rex everyone can use help But I don't need it Simon with the pelicans Yeah, they got a new coach too. So we'll have to see what the new arizona cardinals coach You know kind of thinks I would imagine ultimately he'd want his own guy, but like my raiders I feel like there's just so many holes on that arizona team that The quarterback at the moment is not Not their primary concern There's nassir little for portland nicole It was the mellow ball charlotte Uh, I you can click you can press uh, you can opt out of that thys You opt it in you can also opt out Probably tech stop might do it Yeah The raiders head coach is the hole I mean some some argue you can go even higher and the owner is the Owners the one hiring those guys And the the juries for me the jury's still out on josh we dangles, but I think this is This draft Is probably a big He's probably a big uh He's a big ear for him, but I think It's another one the other one where you're just kind of stuck You know where the raiders are also kind of just stuck because There there's I think they're still paying John gruden and the remainder of his contract so I don't think they can literally afford to to To fire another coach Pay his contract And then hire another coach There may be at least three to five seasons of paying three different coaches two of whom are not on the team anymore Raiders are stuck. Hopefully they'll learn on the job No, I think there's there's something he's still getting paid something I'm pretty sure no mark I know he resigned But I think there are guarantees in that contract. I don't think he's getting the full boat And we'll see how long that running back stays in in vegas The only franchise tag and they haven't locked him in. Is that an autograph? Boom, there we go See this is the kind of exclamation points we're looking for in a long break like this a lamello ball rookie autograph five out of ten Just a few off the jersey number Steve birch with a spot. He got straight up Got randomized the hornets gets that lamello ball rookie autograph Gold Gold parallel Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know what you could do tell them about chris is to get give me another Two monster boxes, please I wouldn't say a pretty rare al-horford to 20 live auto of his. Yeah, seriously. They're usually redemptions Huh? Oh the raiders settled But they still paid him something but I guess not not not yearly. So I guess that's good Please thank you Tyrese maxi variation It's good to know but I still think that that uh owner mark davis for the raiders wants to Let's not do the coaching carol cell thing again I think mcdangels and dave zeigler are getting getting a long leash A longer leash. I think fans a lot of fans wanted him out like now But then the question has always been well, then who then who do you get? You know who else is out there? Starting all over, you know my guess is that that the raiders will Have a decent draft and I guess we'll have a decent season I'll we run through another draft Another free agent period So this is 2023, right? I feel like 2024 Would be sort of the the hot seat season for I mean unless the raiders just completely regressed this year Which I don't think it's gonna happen If they completely regressed and maybe only have there. I thought that's what I thought it's a one-of-one. Hey dante divin chenzo black parallel That's gonna go to chad cromwell and the milwauke bucks All aboard the big hit express I mean if the raiders only win like two or two to four games or something like that Then I think the seat will be very hot in the off season And that could be an early Season firing in 2024 if they start out slow But I think you'll I think you'll get like two full seasons Probably draft a quarterback this year There's tyler bay for dalis Jimmy g will be the the bridge ideally and then within those couple years or so the quarterback kind of marinates Learns the system with jimmy g in the qb room in the meantime raiders will add Pieces everywhere else, especially the defense And then see what happens Nice belly is raiders kings fan sacramento kings Yeah, big big raiders fan long suffering 27 out of 50 kal kuzma lakers edition david lemons And how exciting have the sacramento kings been this year? lot of offense On the sacramento kings And there's isa kakoro and if they play a little defense Which I know that's not necessarily the numbers don't suggest that it's a strong suit, but if they play a little defense and they could They might be able to shock the warriors Now playoff for the first time in 16 years I want to say I feel like that trade that you guys made with the pacers I feel like that's one of like the the few I think I feel like that's one of the few occasions Between trades, especially kind of bigger trades where it's kind of worked out for both teams Usually a trade happens and then by the end of the season One team is a clear winner over the other team in the trade But I don't think in this case I feel like the pacers got a couple nice picks Tyrese hallowburn has been playing well for that team. They got some young talent there Around like matthurian and turner and all those other guys They had a pretty decent season and another draft cycle and taking pop a free agent or two. I think that I think they'd be pretty happy And then like you look at you look at the sacramento kings Especially with sabonis on that team And then youngsters like keegan murray ball. I mean that looks Looks like it's worked out just fine For both teams. I want to say but yeah, like the go bare trade Dilara saying like That You know that looks terrible, right Uh, sorry chat. Yeah, divan changels is solid. He's a I don't think he's with the bucks anymore. Where's divan chenzo? But I feel like he's a solid off the bench guy getting some good Some good minutes off the bench Regular contributor Now, what's the what's oh, he's with the warriors. That's right. That's good. You'll be able to see him that king's warriors Match up Here's isaias steward fast break autograph for the pistons That'll go to detroit simon with detroit And we got a onyeka kongu For the atl. That's for nicole And the hawks. I think he went to high school with this guy ball brothers chino hills high school Kind of near where I grew up About an hour or so east of here there's brandon ingram to 20 Kind of miss brandon ingram. We should have saw in the Lakers. This goes to uh simon and the pelicans All right next box Yeah, should we talk about zion wiliamson pelicans could be great if zion stays healthy.  I mean, we've got to start talking.  Let's give this guy Some chances still very early in his career blah blah blah but I mean, this is Hashtag sad for the hobby But are we do we now have to start discussing? although I wouldn't I don't want to use the term bust because I think when players can just deal with injuries. I don't really I don't really consider that a bust but like But I mean, maybe there's two different categories. Injury related bust Is that is that what it's going to be another sort of another anthony davis for the pelicans kind of situation? Where the talent is immense and it's there when You know when that player is healthy and playing but Player is not healthy doesn't play a lot which is a shame because I think the pelicans have put together a pretty decent team at siege of mccallum trade you know really Looked like wonders last year and this year. There's a michael green for denver. That's going to be for for jenna denver Well, Greg odin was also more injury related, right? I mean, I guess I could call it an injury related bust But I feel like there's two busts, right? Like there is a bust Where the player is is drafted high or it's hyped up and And just given every opportunity to play but just does not play well That's one kind of bust and then the other kind of bust I think is You know the player that just can't stay healthy That kind of bust There'll be topping Zion doesn't seem committed. I think he did he was he did not come into the season I think that was a little unfair. There's some social media posts going around how he was He was gigantic, but I don't know Chad you said yourself you haven't watched a lot of basketball So I feel like you're just going on what you've been hearing On social media. He actually came in pretty uh pretty slim By his standards But not like this like 350 pound like obese dude Around the court You know, I think I think he Could he be more fit? Yeah, sure But I don't think I don't think he was As unfit as people People may have may have said Right and there was an injury that didn't really allow him to move too much But once he got into basketball shape, I mean he was at I mean explosive playing weight to start the season those those things of 350 though, I think it's just That might be during like rehab There's Chad and the Warriors, but he got into basketball shape within a few months over the summer and looked great coming into the season and Just putting up some really nice numbers moving really well on the court and then those injuries cropped up again I mean that just might be the way his body is built. It just seems like it just seems like uh Even if Zion was the size of Brandon Ingram You know like weighed as much as Brandon Ingram. I feel like he would he would still have those issues Right. Yeah, I agree mark. I think Zion's on his way to being the Greg Odin sort of bust Not the Anthony Bennett type of bust, right? Anthony Bennett was picked number one overall promptly shipped off And I think he was wasn't injured was given all the minutes to succeed You know and all the opportunities in playing time and just played his way out of a job Gabe's saying they need to give Zion and Anthony Davis Whatever they gave Patrick Mahomes where he heard his ankle insuperable was it uh was it stem cells See if Lloyds of London has potential insurance They should they should insure should they insure potential that'd be That would not be the insurance game that I would want to get into No Max Muncie just hit a three run homer though. Oh, that's good for your fantasy team Gabe Yeah, he just hit a hit a three runner Because I was the Coro variation. I would I did not see the play. I just heard it Got the tv audio on I want to I don't know if it was on a a fastball or a breaking ball if it was on a breaking ball That'd be nice to see Mark saying Brandon Roy LeMarcus Alder and Greg Odin had a 50 and 12 record together when they played Is that right? I could have been with that team There's Derek White for the Spurs That's for uh Tristan Wouldn't happen, but interesting of all the people that spent so much money on Zion Rookie's filed a class act I don't even know like Like what what what part of the law would even allow that Zion didn't produce these cards and you couldn't really Couldn't really sue the manufacturer either and I don't think any lawyer would take that case It's Kendrick Nunn Miami edition really wish he would have worked out with the Lakers Uh, this goes to Nicole on the Miami heat Ha ha chat Very funny See that home run replay What happened there this guy bunted I think it didn't go foul It's a manual quickly National Pride Lamello in his canter to 85 record pile not the Non-numbered pile This cam reddish Fast break autograph for the atl that'll be for Nicole Yeah, it would be interesting what the wolves would do would go bear if they somehow beat the Lakers My interest. I mean it can't be Can't be more than a one game suspension how much how How many games was Dreymon suspended for that swing on Jordan pool Thing is I get the feeling that a lot of uh That this happens a lot like in practice, you know players are competitive they get fired up You know there they think they're putting an effort there. They think another player is not putting an effort and you know players holding players accountable This kind of stuff happens frequently but it often doesn't get publicized like the warrior situation Usually doesn't happen publicly like on a bench in the middle of a game Was it just one game for Dreymon the team suspension? All subsequent reports have suggested that Rudy Gobert I think was it Kyle Anderson that he that he put a fist into his chest That he apologized to him personally and apologized to the team Motions got the better of them better etc etc They beat the Lakers my guess is that they're gonna want to uh They're gonna need go bear for the series although he hasn't been as As effective as I thought he would be They gave up a lot for Rudy Gobert if you look back on the trade I think they gave up a lot of assets for Rudy Gobert I think they're expecting a lot more than just You know what he's produced I don't think they wanted him to Fight with oh Dreymon didn't get to spend it but it was fine. All right Yeah, I can't imagine this would be More than a one-game thing. I'll I'll bet if this was behind closed doors And not on not on tv You know, I'll bet I'll bet it would have been a team fine or something like that No suspension You gotta I mean It has to be behind closed doors, right? Can't Punching teammates In a sideline Hubble Here's David with the Chicago Bulls Patrick Williams It seemed that he was disgruntled in Utah too. I don't understand I don't understand. I don't what didn't Donovan Mitchell and and Rudy go bear but heads In Utah Here's Tyrese Halliburton 15 out of 50 National pride purple parallel for Sacramento. That's for Tristan But when when Rudy go bear first went to Minnesota, I was like man, that's gonna be That's gonna be a twin tower sort of situation.  He can play inside and out Rudy go bear is gonna be like he's gonna do the defensive dirty work You know free up Carl Anthony towns to roam around You know play some defense go bear would provide some defense some rim protection but I don't think that I mean that's happened in here and there I don't think in in the way that That Minnesota expected to there's alfarook.  Does he think he should be the centerpiece of the offense? I don't know We'll explore that in part two Of this group brake lays jump.

Let's go, get it together, get it, get it, up! There you go, up! For 15 training days, each unit gave us their best NCO. And for those 15 days, we pushed them past their leadership capabilities.  We allowed them to take that mask off that they hide behind their units on a regular basis. And with that being said, we bring them back a better product. Now, as we go into week three, you can see that they have now become comfortable within the violence that they have found within them. This is where now they show their confidence, they feel a little bit more comfortable. The execution of the techniques that they utilize is a lot more fluid because of the proficiency and the repetition of how many times they have done it up until this point. Well, the culminating event is conducted on T-Day 14. Going into that, you can already tell that the body has already been through some form of adversity. The mind has been through some form of adversity. The characters have been tested. So by the time we get into the culminating event, this is where everything that they have learned up until this point is now time to utilize. So upon graduation, T-Day 15, this is now where they will graduate 30 martial arts instructors. These Marines that graduate become a part of you, and every student they teach will be a reflection of what you've done.

Welcome to Digital Asset News, the guitar stories and cryptocurrency digital assets and bring them on bite-sized pieces. Today we're just going to do a quick follow-up to our live stream, which we did a couple hours ago. And what we did this morning was we talked about the three reasons why Bitcoin and cryptocurrency took a big dump, essentially. And really what it came down to was China, China, and just a little information from Grayscale. So the two stories about China was that, in one part, you had China saying that they were going to stop working with cryptocurrency digital assets as far as like the banks, which is weird because we have heard that and they've been banning this for years. So I don't know why this story kept coming up. I think there was one reason which was the fact that they had closed all the loopholes, no more OTC type of buys, which kind of gets Binance out of the picture and a couple other things. So that was expected. It was coming and here it is. And the second piece that we talked about, we talked about Bitcoin miners, the operations being shut down. These are large Bitcoin mining operations. We're talking about BTC and AntPool and all those different things. And it wasn't like the Chinese government just marched in there and said, close it down. They just said cut the power and no more mining in Bitcoin. And this is forcing a lot of these miners to move out of China, which is good news. Unfortunately, for the news and publications, they look at this as negative and people who don't know, they see this as very negative. And of course, because of that, you see the price take a big tumble. On top of that, we also talked about grayscale. They have this lockup period which is going to expire. So over the next right now, actually, and then over the next month or so, you're going to see more of a cell pressure. So there was that part. But the piece that really was interesting and I think is the main crux of what is going on is Bitcoin mining. And it really came down to this article right here, which was Chinese Bitcoin mining pools. See further hash rate plunge on situation shut down order. And we already talked about this and it went into effect on June 18th. It was supposed to really ramp up or actually conclude on June 20th, which was yesterday. Today is June 21st. It is 1 p.m. El Paso, Texas time. So this all made the hash rate power drop. You went from tera hashes of, you know, over 100 tera hashes. Now we're at 90 and it's going to keep dropping because all these big, huge operations, they have to shut down. There's no ifs ands or buts about it because there's no power and they're not going to get power. So when I looked at this, me personally, I was like, this is great news. And of course, the market doesn't respond like that. So what I wanted to do was take a step back and now just listen to me. I want you to hear this from the horse's mouth from people who are in the Bitcoin mining operations. And what I was able to do is talk to Alex Masculi on Alex Masculi's show. And he got me in contact with the CEO of Newmine, and that is Ibrahim Al-Qurd. I think I said his name right, hopefully. And I'm going to interview him because when we talked on the phone, he's over in Europe. We talked on a conversation just this morning after we did the live stream. He said, people understand this is what we want. This is good news. And I'm going to just going to let him explain exactly why this is, exactly what's going on and exactly why this is going to be a boom for the industry as far as Bitcoin mining in Europe and North America, Central America and different places where we needed to get China out of this equation as quickly as possible and let them do whatever they want to do. So we're going to take a look at that. But just so you know, before we get into Newmine, they've been in business since in the early 2013, 14, 15 era, somewhere around there. And they've been doing a lot of things with Bitcoin and crypto mining. They've got different mining rigs that they do for sale. Their services range from just individual mining rigs over to hosting and colocation, also up to mining infrastructure. So very big mining operations. And they've been involved around since let me see, what is it? 2015, yeah. So, yeah, getting access to the cryptocurrency ministry can be challenging. Since 2015, we've simplified the process. And they've gone a long way, done a lot of things. So they are in the thick of it. They know exactly what's going on. So what I'm going to do now is I'm just going to bring on Ibrahim and I'm going to have Alex here and just to hear from them and horse's mouth and after talking to him, I became more bullish than I have as far as like what's going on the situation. So let's just jump right in and let Ibrahim tell you. Already, everybody. So I explained pretty much what's going on with the market. We know it's not doing so hot right now, but like I talked about, it's not so much about the overall view of what it is or what the news makes it out to be. It is the reality that is. And there's only one person that can really help us. Well, actually really two guys. One is my friend, Alex Masioli, over at Trade the Chain co-founder. He's stepping in just to give some insight. Alex, thanks for coming on. I appreciate it. And then also the gentleman I was talking about before, Ibrahim O'Cord. He is the CEO of Newmine. And since he's been in this industry since 2015, the question I got to ask you, Ibrahim, is is this positive or is this negative for the Bitcoin mining community? Yeah, I think that people have a habit of panicking when news like this comes out. And you really got to look at the news and think about what it means for the market long term. I think people just need to chill out and here's why. So two thirds of two thirds, around 66 percent of the world's hash rate comes from China right now for Bitcoin mining. So China controls a massive monopoly of the mining hash power. Now, a lot of people, they talk about, you know, Bitcoin being decentralized and whatnot, but actually two thirds of hash rate comes out of China. So what we've got now is we've had since 2013, China is always buying Bitcoin, putting restrictions on trading, buying this and buying that. And now they finally kind of put the nail on the coffin for the miners and said, get out. So what we're seeing now is a massive movement of Chinese miners outside of China to jurisdictions that are much more friendly. Now, the Chinese government and China as a whole is known for not liking things that they can't control. And crypto is a perfect example of something that the government can't control. So now what's going to happen is you can have this big shift of miners outside of China into places like North America, which have much more crypto friendly laws in place. And it's great for, you know, North American mining companies or people that do business in North America like us, because now we've got a massive demand for miners wanting to work outside of China. So it's been it's been great for us. Perfect. So so this leading to two questions. First of all, as this was approaching, because it started in June 18th, there was the whole shutdown was supposed to happen. And then in June 20th, it was supposed to be end game. That was it. Leading up to this. So the first question before you bring him is, how have you seen the response from the people who are reaching out to you and what they want to do as far as relocation? And then Alex, the next question for you, because I know you you still have your your foot in the waters as far as hedge funds and the different people. What has been your consensus as people have reached out and actually talk to you about Bitcoin? So Ibrahim, I'll ask you first. Sure. So people, people that mine is, you know, Chinese miners and other miners that really, really desperate to get to get any sort of hosting capacity that they can get because it's so sold out. I mean, we can't really get people hosted for the next couple of months at least, because we're everything is sold out in North America. A lot of Europe as well. So people are willing to pay a massive premium, actually, to get up on mining. So the desperation is evident. And, you know, obviously it's good if you're on the selling end. But it's also, I mean, we saw this back in 2017, where demand far exceeded the supply of, you know, of hosting for machines. So we're seeing something happen again. But, you know, now it's because of China. And, you know, what I've said to the guys I work with and stuff is that the Chinese government have done the best marketing for us that they can ever do, right? If we'll get out and now it's great for business. Yeah, that's perfect. OK, I'll have a follow up in a second. Alex, what do you got for on your side? The people are talking to you like, hey, this is we're all out, or they like, or do they just or do they actually understand what's going on? Big money. Yeah, I mean, there's first of all, the hedge funds institution guys, they have a pretty good understanding, right? They they're, you know, you have people like Ibrahim who are at this level and they have people who want to talk to them, garner as much information facts as possible. I mean, this is timely. I literally just got off the phone 15 minutes ago with a multi-billion dollar traditional hedge fund out of the states that has a sleeve run by a couple of portfolio managers in crypto. And they actually just de-risked their whole all their positions. And during the weekend came out of all positions. So, I mean, that's a telling sign right there. I think it's I think it's a wait and see, try to figure it out approach. But I think it's people like Ibrahim who are going to get a lot of questions, a lot of phone calls asking, you know, what intelligence is on the side and what it how it's going to possibly affect the market. Yeah. So, I mean, so the the fall of question I had, Ibrahim, is all these Chinese Bitcoin miners, did they did they think that this wasn't going to happen or did they just play this a little bit too long? Because it sounds like they're now they're playing catch up when they should have been a little bit. They're being more reactive than proactive, it sounds like. Yeah, I think some of the miners before we saw some transition to outside of China for some of the Chinese miners. But obviously this forced them to get out. But I think that a lot of these because labor is so cheap in China and electricity is often very cheap, they were just trying to prolong this as much as possible. But I think a lot of people saw it coming, right? The Chinese government was cracking down on trading of crypto assets and investing crypto assets. So mining was the next thing they were going to transition to. So I would say a lot of these guys saw it coming, but they wanted to track it out as long as possible. Yeah. So how do you see this playing out over the next weeks and months as far as like setting up mining operations? Because you just said there's so much demand, but there's not enough supply. So how does this all how do you see this moving into the future?   Right. And the concern there is, you know, if these guys are in China, then it's going to be harder to get them to kind of pay the hosting contracts for these clients that are there. But I think, you know, for us, it's just a scramble to get up as quickly as possible and get hosting capacity as quickly as possible as we can fulfill this, fulfill this. But I mean, we're trying to be as fair as possible. We're trying to maintain demand from, you know, people within Europe and North America and also fulfill some of the Chinese demand as well. Yeah, I don't I mean, to me personally, maybe Alex feels the same way. I don't care where it goes. I don't care if it goes to Europe, I don't care if it was North America, Central America, South America, as long as it's outside of China. So when so when people are talking to you, where where do you see them setting up the majority to where you have cheap electricity? And then the regulations are actually positive for crypto. Is it North America or is there some other place that's a little bit better? I mean, Canada, the U.S. is certain reason for regions that are better, right? Like North Carolina, Washington State, some places in New York. It's usually places with renewable energy sources like hydro power. Within Europe, we've got places like Iceland. You've got Norway, you know, these sort of regions that have renewable energy sources as well. So it depends on where, but usually in each of these continents, you've got places that have good regions to host. I mean, in South America, you've got some incredibly cheap electricity sources and got really cheap labor as well. So sometimes you get all the machines like the S9 is going there because then they're still profitable to run. So it as you said, it doesn't really matter as long as it goes outside of China. I mean, for the educated eye, but a professional eye, in my eyes, China buying crypto mining should pump the price, you know, from along the perspective of the market. Why should it do the market? Yeah, I don't get it. Like, OK, Alex, so we were just on Alex's show. We're doing a live stream and we're talking about this. Alex, why does this not pump the price? Because it should pump the price, right? But no, it's the exact. No, I think it's it's just like low volume Sundays, right?  I think it's a it's a worrisome thing. And now you have this lag time of setting up new operations. And so when we're talking from the trading side on the show about, you know, range bound sideways trading in the market going throughout the summer, I mean, think of what Ibrahim's talking about right here and think about the time and effort that it's going to take to set up all new mining farms. It's it's it's it's put a pause in the market, so to speak, right now. Exactly. But but even just like we talked about on the phone, even though these Bitcoin mining operations are shutting down, the the difficulty level should also decrease as well. So so it sounds like that would be like a win for like a small time a small time operation, maybe. Yeah, just for a period, right? So until the there's more hosting past the outside of China to fulfill the demand on these machines have to be physically transported over. So right now it takes us around two weeks to get machines from China to North America, it takes us around, depends on the volume. Usually a few weeks, you know, several thousand machines take a couple of weeks to install, right? So there's going to be this this period where we're likely to see a reduction in hash rate, but it's not going to be for long, right? Because a lot of these guys will be able to get these machines back online as the hosting capacity goes online. And these data centers are built. I mean, now you've got a lot of even custom custom produced shipping containers that are used for mining. So of mining has been around since Bitcoin has been around since people work cryptocurrency has been around. So people have engineered systems that can get up and mining very quickly. So it doesn't take very long to get a mining container or data center up and running. Can I ask Abraham a philosophical market question? Absolutely. Let's hear it. Even though even though it's going to only take, let's say a couple of weeks before they're up and running, is that just a tad too long at this point for the retail participants in the market to hang on to, let's say, for lack of a better word, hope, could this be, could this precipitate a downward market just because of the time decay that it's taking to relocate these machines? And of course, this is just a gut feeling of yours I'm asking. Yeah. I think, I think generally the retail investors have taken this news to be negative. So I think the, you know, the cascade of down, downwards perception is already happened. It's happening and it's already happened, right?  This market is very fragile. I mean, just, you know, we've seen the impact that someone like Elon Musk has had on the market where he can actually pump the price or dump the price based on tweets, right? So now we've got an entire government which is anti-crypto and, you know, it's been anti-crypto for a very long time. But what I say is, you know, China can't do much more damage to crypto now. They've done a lot of controls on the trading. Now they've banned the mining. So that's it in terms of the damage that the Chinese can do, which is great, okay? So, you know, when Bitcoin is in the long term, most likely going to be considerably more than it is now. It's going to be, you know, much healthier for the space. Yeah. I gotta agree. Like I'm always so sick about the same stories over and over again, like the one we just talked about. So now if we can get rid of China and nothing against the Chinese people, it's the Chinese government. If they want to go this route, that's fine. That's fine. Allow us to flourish and actually grow the cryptocurrency space. This is great. I feel like it's great news, but again, like Ibrahim and Alex said, it's not going to be seen like that. But you at home watching this video, just remember a lot of negative news is going to come out. Take a look at this video, share this video so people will understand that this is actually a positive thing moving forward for the rest of the five billion people in the world. So we lost 1.4 billion people. Sorry, China, but that's how it goes. That's how it is. Sonia, before we take off, any last words of wisdom for everybody? Alex, I'll start with you for the crypto investor. Yeah, I mean, at this point, unless you're a retail investor and you need the money, there's no point in selling out of your position at this moment, I don't think. That's just my opinion. We've spoken about it. I think we're going to be range bound for a little bit. I think what Ibrahim has explained will kind of paint the bottom. And we'll be a healthier market moving forward. Yeah, Ibrahim, what do you got for the person right now shaking in their boots going, what's happened? Yeah, I think everyone just needs to chill out, stop looking at the news too much.  Just play the long game. The wealthiest people in the crypto world have just played the long game. They've huddled. Look at the Winklevoss twins, right?  They bought Bitcoin and they've just held onto it for a long period of time. And now they're billionaires as a result. Your stash of crypto might not be worth billions one day, but if you're a patient and you don't panic sell, it could be worth considerably more than it is now. Ibrahim, I like your style. I'm going to have you. Hopefully you can come back on the show. Perfect response. All right, everybody. So thanks for coming on. I appreciate both of you guys really do. And let's jump back. Okay, so that's it. So I hope that cleared up a lot of misconceptions about what is going on. This is a reminder you're going to hear a lot of negativity over the next days, weeks and months, as far as like mining operation, but try to refer back to this video and actually share it with friends and family or whoever is in crypto. So they know exactly what's going on. Don't get used to the FUD. Really dig deep and find the right answer. So if you like this video and you found value, give it a thumbs up. Also consider subscribing. I think we talk about our very time sensitive on this channel and that is it for today. So thanks so much. Appreciate it. See you on the next one.


Hi, my name is Krisha Hernandez. The head of community over at Acuity. I'm also an open GitOps maintainer. And today my presentation is about rendered manifests. It's a pattern that I've discovered while working with enterprise customers over at Acuity while adopting the GitOps journey. Before I get into rendered manifest pattern, I am gonna go over the GitOps principles, right? I'm gonna start here because it's important to get a little bit of context. So as some of you may or may not know, these are the GitOps principles. And if you're not familiar, go ahead and go to opengitOps.dev to find out more information. The GitOps principles themselves exist to address the genuine problems of visibility and collaboration with working with complex systems like Kubernetes. The principles themselves stress the importance of declared desired state and continuous reconciliation. However, these leave considerable room for interpretations. Unironically, the GitOps principle tells the end state but not how to get there, right? The principles themselves are declarative. And I often get questions and see posts and videos about GitOps best practices, right? About how GitOps repo should be structured, what config management tools to use, how branches should or should not be incorporated but things like that. There's a lot of commonly accepted best practices out there and I'm actually here to challenge one of them a little bit but it's all in good fun. But before I do that, I wanna talk about and hone in a little bit on config management tools in GitOps. So config management tools. Config management tools are great. And in general, they seemingly play a big role in your GitOps journey. But what's great about it is that there's so many tools out there and really you can use whatever you want and whatever works for you and your organization. Config management tools actually won't significantly impact your ability to implement GitOps because they all attack the same issue. So this is why we say, hey, just kind of use what works for you. But they all attack the same issue of kind of abstracting the configuration for you and how it gets applied to a Kubernetes cluster. For example, Helm and Customize both address the need for a standardized set of manifest and the ability to alter them based on the specific environment they will be deployed into.  Don't repeat yourself, right, DRY. This is why config management tools have gained wide adoption in the GitOps community. You can have kind of like a basic set of configurations and then kind of rubber stamp them out and alter them depending on their destination. But there lies the problem, right? These abstractions create a problem. They are typically referenced directly by the GitOps tooling to determine the desired state. A change to a Helm chart or a customization base is a change to an abstraction. The true impact of manifest deployed into environments is actually unclear. So if you take a look at the configuration here on the right hand side, here's an example of really what goes on in a GitOps workflow, especially when using tools like Argo, CDN, Flux. So you push a change to your trunk, right? And when I say trunk and I'll say main, and I'll use them interchangeably in this talk. So you make a change into your main branch via PR, via Directly Commit, whatever. And the GitOps controller will take those, right? And for example, Customize, right? You make a change in your base. GitOps controller will take that change, will run, customize, and then apply that manifest, those rendered manifests onto the Kubernetes cluster. And so really what's happening is that the GitOps controller is kind of doing that at deploy time. So the desired state of Kubernetes cluster is not a Helm chart or a customization, actually. It's the manifest that is rendered by these config management tools. That is your desired state. So, and a lot of folks, they use Customize and Helm is, and they use those manifests in Git. And that's what typically what most organizations will store and get when practicing GitOps. But keep in mind that any abstraction between Git and applying those, right? Can have undesired effects. For example, if the version of Customize changes in your GitOps controller, those, and you're using something like a deprecated feature or something, you actually won't know about that feature until the deployment phase because the rendering happens at deploy time. So what am I getting at exactly? I'm saying that you shouldn't mutate your source of truth right before it gets applied. The desired state stored and approved in Git or wherever your desired state a store is should contain no abstractions from what will be applied during your reconciliation. Your declaration should be treated similarly to like a container image where it's immutable and applies as is to the cluster. Having your GitOps tooling run Helm or Customize right before applying the manifest to the cluster is like saying, it's like your container running app get installed on startup, right? You're mutating it right before it gets applied, right? And so what's the solution, right? What is the pattern, right? And this is where the rendered manifest pattern comes in. So solution is called the rendered manifest pattern. So each change to the trunk or the main branch, right? Of your GitOps repo will result in the manifest getting rendered by CI workflow and stored as is in Git. So meaning that this is kind of a different shift left, right? You're shifting all the rendered manifests, all the rendering, excuse me, all the rendering to the CI system. And it kind of creates this artifact and this artifact represents the cluster's desired state without any abstractions. So if we take a look here at this, the rendered manifest changes the picture just a little bit, right? You will still interact with your trunk the same way you do now, right? You push a change into your main branch, but then your CI engine, your CI actually runs something like Helm template or it'll run something like customized build. And then it'll store those rendered manifests in a branch in your Git repo. And then on an environment-specific branch. And this environment-specific branch is what GitOps controller then deploys onto the Kubernetes cluster. So you actually now get a one-to-one mapping of what you see in your desired state, in your state store is exactly what gets applied, right? Without any abstractions there, right? So then these environment-specific branches, the diff between what goes where is now is completely transparent. And you'll be able to see plainly the effect of a change in main, for example, on each environment. And I'd like to actually address an elephant in the room. So the common misconception, there's this quote that we say and a lot of GitOps practitioners say, don't use branches for environments. And that's actually a misconception. So the misconception is people take that literally, don't use branches for environments. People take that literally. And it's actually, it's not, we should probably stop saying that as GitOps practitioners because it's not what it's meant. What we meant was by don't, what we meant by don't use branches for environments is what we mean by that is don't use Gitflow. This is not Gitflow. On the surface, rendered manifest pattern might sound like Gitflow, but it's not. You can continue to use short-lived feature branches or trunk-based development. I'm a trunk-based development guy and a guy for your GitOps repo. These branches, these environment-specific branches are not used for promotion between environments. This is where Gitflow is. You assume that you're merging a dev branch into the stage branch that you're not doing that with rendered manifest at all. They're not used that way at all. Changes from one environment branch will not be merged into another branch. Instead, the contents of these branches are maintained by an automated workflow, like your CI workflow, for example, and are generated based on what's in the main branch. So your workflow actually isn't changing. You're still working with your trunk. You're still working on main. You're still PR-ing against main. Actually, your workflow does not change at all. What changes is where it gets rendered and how it gets stored. It gets stored in environment-specific branches. Consider the contents of these branches akin to a release bundle. It's kind of similar to a release bundle, and it just contains plainly rendered manifest with a desired state of an environment. So it's similar to kind of like, you wouldn't pull an image and you wouldn't be able to do that. Do Docker run, make some changes, do Docker commit, and then push it, but that workflow seems terrible. And we're not telling you to do that either here. These are specifically storing what amounts to us artifacts. So let's take a look at some of the advantages. Is that a glance, the advantages of read or manifest are that you get improved visibility into the desired state. You eliminate obfuscation, introduced by config management tooling, and you actually see, you improve that visibility into your desired state. You reduce the risk of built-in tooling with truly immutable desired state. You find out what goes wrong earlier in the process. You find that out in CI versus right at deploy time. Improve performance for your get-offs controller. It doesn't have to render anything anymore. This is especially true with Argo CD. You get a significant performance boost. And you can set like deployment protection policies based on each environment. You can actually get pretty granular. So actually I want to drop out of here and show an example. So this example here, you have a change happening to an umbrella chart in Git. And let me make this a little bigger. So here there's this change that happened in the umbrella chart. We went from version this version to the next version. And just looking at this here, I actually have no context of what is going to happen in my environment, right? I just know the version is going to change, but I actually don't know that impact. The only way to find out is to run customized build, dash-enable helm and be able to see that locally. But that's still, right? It's not the version of a helm or customized locally maybe different than in my environment. And I actually don't, significantly I don't get a diff or anything even building it locally, right? I don't even get that diff. So even building locally, I don't really see that. So like this change here doesn't really tell me anything especially like as a release manager or DevOps engineer and like I don't know what's gonna happen. I don't know if this change is good or bad. Now switching to, let's say my dev environment branch, right for rendered manifests that I can actually see now plainly see what that change is gonna do to my environment. And this is our significant changes, right? There's changes like removing and adding of service accounts, updating a configuration, deprecation of certain things, configuration changes, the list goes on and on. Now here, at least now I have contacts. I'm like, oh, okay. This is a significant change to my environment. And I actually plainly see what's gonna happen if I approve that change into my environment. So this is kind of like what it gets you for rendered manifest at least from a process standpoint. So let's jump back to the presentation. So let's go to some of the disadvantages, right? So it's not all unicorns and rebos, right? Shifting manifests, rendering to CI actually adds complexity to your CI system. And also, I can't emphasize enough that a lot of work has been put into Argo CD and Flux and their automation and control systems where I don't, as an end user, I don't have to think about customize or helm that has all done for me. So I'm trying not to undervalue that. There's a lot of value that there. And so using that, I kind of lose some of that functionality that's built into these GitOps tools. Also, it doesn't work well with tooling that renders plain text secrets, right? So like sealed secrets is a big example or like customized plus stops, right? If you're using rendered manifest, it actually doesn't work out well because now your secrets are in plain text in a deployment branch. And so, for users that are using sealed secrets and those type of things that rendered I actually recommend moving on to something like the external secret operator, which is one of my favorite things to use to kind of move away from that to be able to use that. But if you're still using sealed secrets, that's a consideration you need to take into play, right? Clux users, right? There's a disadvantage. You lose all the features that the Helm controller provides you. There is, if you're actually really into Helm, you're basically switching from using Helm to plain manifests. Essentially, you're going from Helm to Helm template and you lose things like, for example, Helm lookup, right? And which a lot of people rely on as well. And Argo CD, at the same time, right? By the same vein, you lose kind of like runtime injection along a lot of Argo CD users like to inject the application's name into the configuration. So, to differentiate it from one environment to another, you lose that as well. So there's just kind of some of the things you need to keep in mind about using rendered manifests. So being from acuity, we saw these issues and new tools are emerging, including one by us, right? Something under, something that we called cargo render, right? Cargo render is a part of the larger cargo ecosystem, right? Cargo is a open source project, completely open source, created by the same creators as the Argo project who then formed acuity. And now cargo is part of acuity's open source project portfolio. It's still an alpha. So I don't exactly recommend using it in production, but I do recommend kicking the tires because cargo render can be used standalone without adopting cargo. There's a GitHub action available. So you can use the GitHub action and actually don't worry about complicating your CI. There's now a tool that does rendered manifests for you and you don't have to worry about rendering things in CI.  You can use, you know, this GitHub action, for example, or the CLI tool for cargo render to be able to doing your rendered manifests, right? So learn more cargo renderer.acuity.io or actually join the acuity community where they're, you know, doing a bunch of awesome stuff around open source and cargo. So what's next? What are my hot takes out of this, right? So kind of hot takes. So I know I've stated this before, but it's worth restating. Manifests should be treated like artifacts, really. Like we've, you know, we've, I think we're to the point where it is now we need to treat manifests the same way we treat container images, right? They need to be immutable. They need to be treated like artifacts and which, you know, kind of brings to my next point. I actually think GitOps has outgrown Git to be honest with you, you know, working with customers here at acuity, we rent, you know, you know, our customers have ran into issues with like rate limiting from Git or overload from GitHub overloading their internal Git system. You know, it all obviously depends on how many changes you're using and how you're scaling your Git repo and, you know, how you're tuning Argo CD, but really I think we're at the point where we have to start considering that we've outgrown Git, honestly. And I believe OCI is the path forward, right? OCI as more integration comes into play with things like Flux and OCI, which there's a great integration there. Argo CD is on the road to adopting OCI as well. And OCI is gonna be a big component in secure supply chain. And storing your manifest there just kind of makes the difference. And it's more a depth to handling artifacts versus using something like Git. Now you're using kind of like an artifact storage system to store that, right? And that makes complete sense. So learn more about rendered manifest. I'll keep this slide up for a few seconds here, but go ahead and scan that. It'll take you to a blog that goes very deep into this pattern and with more information about rendered manifests and acuity. With that, I'd like to thank you very much for my presentation. And if you have any questions, I'll be around in the chat. Thank you.


How To Give Effective Feedback Giving feedback is one of the biggest milestones for any team on their journey to team mastery. Because for me, a lot of the fundamentals of great teamwork stem from the team's ability to give honest feedback to one another. So, learning how to give feedback effectively is a great place to start. There's one basic human attribute that limits our ability to give effective feedback, and that is our desire to be liked. We can worry that giving feedback to people could lead to upsetting them, and then that could cause them to like us less. Don't get me wrong, it is nice to be liked, and people who are liked are more effective than those who aren't, but there's one thing that increases our effectiveness even more than being liked, and that is being respected. People respect those who tell them the truth, with kindness. Yes, sometimes giving feedback can be uncomfortable, but one thing helps with that, and that's doing it more often. Smaller batches of feedback are easier to accommodate, and they help establish it as normal, and not actually something to be worried about. Giving effective feedback to people is a gift, something that when done well is highly valued by those receiving it, so here are some tips to help you become more effective at giving feedback. The first is offer it. Don't go around inflicting your feedback on people. Perhaps try offering it, and give people the chance to say no thanks, or not yet. Even better, is try to create the conditions where people can pull your feedback when they want it. Let them know that you're happy to provide feedback on anything in particular, or some specific topics should they ever want it. By offering feedback, or having feedback pulled from you, this reduces any unconscious barrier that many people have of upsetting people, or creating a conflict, because they know that it's wanted. The second tip is frame it. Try and help people feel safe receiving your feedback by framing it. Ensure that your feedback, as well as being welcome, is seen as coming from a positive place. That it's not primarily for your benefit, but rather for the benefit of that person. Of course you'll probably benefit yourself in some way, but that certainly shouldn't be seen as the reason, because I'm less likely to change my behaviour for your needs than I am for me to achieve what I want. Now when we're working in a team, we've all got a common goal that we can look towards, and that can be helpful in framing the feedback. Let people know the boundaries. Will it be confidential for example? And make it specific and timely. Don't try and find every opportunity to make them a better person, and don't drag up old news, because they were a different person then, and our memories are notoriously inaccurate. Tip three is personalize it. Bland feedback is pretty much meaningless, and hence an indirection are a bad idea too. You know the kind of thing. A friend of mine is so annoying, in the hope that they pick up on it. The truth is they won't, or if they do, they'll probably feel patronized. Another trap is saying things like people have been saying. Don't fall into that. Own your feedback and tell it how you see it. And know your audience. Why would this be of use to them? How does what you've noticed help them become more of the person or teammate that they want to be? Find out how they would prefer to receive your feedback. Perhaps one to one face to face, or they might prefer it written in advance, so they can digest it on their own. Find out. Tip four is depersonalize it. Now I know I've just said personalize it, and personalizing your feedback is good, but it does have a downside. It's very easy for example to take people's feedback as judgment of us as a person. Feedback is most useful when it's focused on the behavior rather than the person themselves. For example, I might give my teenage daughter some feedback about the fact that she didn't tidy up her dishes after dinner yesterday, but I wouldn't give her feedback about being a lazy or an untidy person because that's about her personality rather than the behavior. Objectify your feedback. Remember your feedback is just an opinion from your perspective. It's not fact. And feedback is more likely to land well the less disagreement there is, and actions and behaviors are easier to agree on than intent and interpretation. Try and separate out what you actually observed, and try if you can to avoid judging those observations with your interpretations. For example, do you actually see them get angry? Or did you just notice them raise their voice and point their finger? If we can get agreement on the facts, then your opinion is more likely to be interpreted favorably. Tip 6 is separated.  It muddies the waters, and it actually reduces the impact of everything you're saying. So separate them out. Show your appreciations as a distinct activity, and offer your constructive observations as a discrete activity too. The whole feedback sandwich approach is awful, so avoid it. And my final tip for giving effective feedback is time it. I mentioned earlier to make your feedback timely to the action you wish to discuss, but don't expect people to accept things immediately. People often go through a typical processing loop when it comes to feedback, and it's known as SARA. The S stands for surprise, because that's the first response, especially if they weren't expecting your feedback. Now we can reduce this because we can offer it and we can frame it, so there's less surprise. Anger is often the next response, you know, how dare you? What right do you have to give me feedback here? Now again, we can reduce this by being neutral and offering our feedback from a positive intent for their benefit, not ours. And if our feedback is expected and even better being pulled, that helps reduce anger as well. Rationalization is the next step, and that's the process where they're evaluating its validity and its usefulness to them, whether it fits their world view and their view of self and whether they actually wish to incorporate it into an updated world view and a new view of themselves. Now that rationalization takes time and it can lead to two possible actions, either acceptance or rejection of the feedback. Often an initial response looks like rejection, but maybe after sleeping on it or further reflection, they might begin to accept your feedback. Even if they do, don't expect a big visible, you were right, I was wrong because that is a big challenge to ego and we don't need that. The aim of the feedback is to help that person and if they've taken that feedback for their own use and their own value, then we've got success. So in summary, remember that effective feedback is a gift. Offer it rather than inflict it. Frame it to increase safety and then personalize it to their objectives, but don't make it about their person, make it about the behavior. Remember it's an opinion and try to make it as objective as possible. Separate your observations out for greater impact and think about timing. Now after all of that, why not practice what you preach and go out and ask for some feedback from people on your ability to give effective feedback.


Hello and welcome to the session I am Deepika here. Let's discuss the question. In the given figure, the arms of two angles are parallel. If angle A, B, C is equal to 70 degree, then find part 1, angle DGC, part 2, angle DEF. Now we know that one transversal cuts two parallel lines. Number one, each pair of corresponding angles are equal, alternate interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary. So this is a key idea behind our question, the idea to solve the above question. So let's start the solution. We have given that in figure, B, C is a transversal which cuts two parallel lines, A, B, and D. We see that angle A, B, C and angle DGC form a pair of corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are equal when two lines are parallel, therefore angle A, B, C because they are corresponding angles. But angle A, B, C is given 70 degree, therefore equal to 70 degree because angle A, B, C is equal to 70 degree. Hence the answer for this part is angle DGC is equal to 70 degree. Let's move to the part 2. Again DE is a transversal which cuts two parallel lines, B, C and DGC and angle DEF form a pair of corresponding angles and we know that corresponding angles are equal when two lines are parallel. Therefore, angle DGC is equal to angle DEF in part 1, that angle DGC is equal to 70 degree. Therefore, angle DEF equal to 70 degree because angle DGC is equal to 70 degree. Hence the answer for this part is angle DEF is equal to 70 degree. I hope the solution is clear to you. Bye and take care.


Hey lady, what is this? We saw this Seed Show expansion board and it was advertised on Amazon as being designed for Circuit Python. So I thought, let's pick one up and then try it out with Circuit Python. Marketing works. But I'm trying it with the RP2040 QT Pi which has a lot more memory and flash and capabilities than the shower or even the original SAMD 21 QT Pi. So this is actually perfect for use here. You get a 128 by 64 OLED and you can see the display IO. It's got a battery and we plugged in one of our batteries. Works great. There's a beeper and I press the button testing it out beeps. There's an on-off switch for the battery and you can tell it's charging. And there's also an SD card on the bottom. And when I press the reset button, you can see it display all the files on the SD card. So that works too.


I'm Mike Thur, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, y'all. Let y'all know now, I am, I see, you P. I got some catches out here today, y'all. Oh, Lord, oh, Lord, oh, Lord. I talk too soon. Oh, my God, what was that? I'm out here dropping gums, man. He's a great, I can't dance, man. I don't know why kids think I can dance. I can't, I bet you can do it. Let me see, man. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Okay, okay. Ah, I can't do that, man. I can't do that, man. I'm Mike Duff, fellas. Let y'all know now. They gotta put that on the track. Me and Customy out like we in Chicago, I'm Mike Duff. Now, I gotta say, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. I'm gonna try to hit it with you, but I might get stuck. Man, they can't see me, huh? I don't know what they doing. Yeah, remember. Yes, sir. No more Mike Duff now. I got you got a foul-ass on Mike Duff. You got to feed me. Make it that talking one-on-one. Make that one-on-one, man. That was a good move. That was a good move. I can't talk right now. Gotcha, boy. That's on me. I make up for it. I make up for it. I promise you. I promise you. Patterson out of the end zone. He'll hit the 20-25. Here goes CP, 35-40. Patterson. Appreciate it, D. Yeah, sir. Appreciate it.  Hold up, boy. How you doing, D? How you doing, D? I'm good. Hey, man. Malkin Nation, man. We appreciate y'all coming out here, man. Showing out, man. Listen, man, y'all keep coming to the games, man. Y'all bring that energy for us. We're going to bring it in for y'all, man. We appreciate y'all. Got that dub, man. Let's go. Let's get it.


Best part of it, man just being able to train and get to meet some of the other offensive linemen in the draft that we had a good training crew you know Trace Smith was in there too he eventual teammate of mine so it's been it's been really good to grow our relationship through that. Best part was just honestly like pro day just being around different teams interviewing and just having that moment. Well let me rephrase it then. Let me rephrase it then meeting my future teammate Creed training with them with Duke Manyweather in Dallas that we did.
