Hello everyone, welcome to the Jenkins Infrastructure Weekly Team Meeting. Today we are on the 24th of October 2023. Around the table we got myself Damage Portal, Stefan Merle, Kevin Martins. Hervé, I'm adding her. Oh, he will add himself. He should join us in a few minutes. I assume the kiddo don't want to go sleep. Mark Wait is not there today. Stefan is there. Bruno is not there. And Kevin is with us. Hello everyone. Let's get started with announcements. The weekly release 2.429 is out, at least the war file and the packages. Just a word on the docker image. We have delayed a few hours the creation of the tag because there has been some regression during last LTS on the container image tags that are provided to un user. There has been a main change on the latest LTS on last week weekly. The default image, if you don't specify your GDK in the tag, switch from GDK 11 to GDK 17. That was written in the changelog as far as I can tell. But in the process, we accidentally forgot about keeping the tags with a suffix dash GDK 17. By changing from the default image to GDK 17, that's a consequence. Hervé has just issued a pull request that should fix that. And we will test that pull request on 2 days weekly. We delayed a few hours because we want that pull request to be reviewed, approved, merged, verified, before triggering the release. Then, that's information. We will work on backporting the missing tags on last week docker image. The methods I propose to use on the issue is to use copyo, which is a tool that allows to copy an existing docker image with a certain tag to another tag. The goal will be for us to avoid as much as possible to rebuild the LTS docker images. And instead, we copy the existing. Because these images already exist as the short tags. So that should be easy to copy them bit by bit. Is that clear? Does it need clarification? Kevin, I haven't followed. I'm sorry. Do you use the changelog and documentation update for that weekly? Merged and published. So it's live on the site. You're really efficient, thanks. Changelog merged. That's really cool. Let me take notes. Delay a few hours to add back the missing container tags. Do you have other announcements, folks? Just really quickly, Denon. So the tags note was also added to the 414.3 LTS changelog. So that's also there, thanks to EVE earlier today. So that's also been published. Cool. Let me write this down. Missing Tdk 17 container tags. So LTS changelog 4.4.3 updated to warn users. Fix for two days weekly. See above. We plan to back port missing tags using binary copy with scope.io to avoid rebuild. Accidental overrides. Let me take notes of that. Thanks, folks, for the work on this one. Can't be done. Quick questions. It can't be done with Docker only. Docker... You could, but that would be way way way slower because you would have to pull the original image to a short tag, tag it locally and push the new reference. But yes, it could be done. Scope.io has that specific feature for that. But yeah, that could be. Another announcement. Remoting 3176 version and 3181 had a bug when using direct connection no web socket no TCP discovery. CI, Jenkins, IU was... So the remoting protocol the system used to have inbound agents when connecting as inbound connection to HTTP or TCP without the discovery was suffering from a bug that was a side consequence of a huge work that basiled it on the remoting. That was just a minor consequence because it's an edge case that we have on the Jenkins infra. So as soon as we detected that problem a fix has been found and published. But no user facing problem. We were impacted as administrator but no user pipeline were failing because in fact it was just CI, Jenkins, IU during a few hours unable to spin up agents. As soon as we rolled back to the change after two hours all the pipelines were there. So no user facing impact. A new version of the remoting fixed the issue rolling it out to CI, Jenkins, IU. So the validated on a manual and simple test that it was working we weren't able to reproduce the issue we had with the two previous versions. And now we are rolling out that new remoting version on every agent template we have and we'll see if on large scale it keep working as expected which it showed. So thanks everyone involved on this one. I believe the change log for the remoting has been updated for this. I haven't checked. Arvet, do you remember if it was or your music there? If it was what? If the bug was reported on the release notes. Not this one but I've put a note in the Docker agent. I wasn't sure if Docker agent were concerned directly. So I just put a notice on the Docker engine with the three of them. One seven six and two eighties. Cool. I believe Docker agents could have the same issue though. It's just it's way more visible on the inbound agent because it's used directly by Kubernetes and other plugins. But that could be a case when using the Docker plugin for the Docker agent base image. But no emergency because there is a new version with the fix. So we can do it afterwards. There is no need to rush it. But yes. Thanks for that Arvet. Do you have other announcements questions or clarifications needed on these topics? Nope. So next week we will have a new weekly as usual. Next week I've already forgotten when is the next LTS in 18 weeks by default. 17 since it's already been one week. I think it's November 15th that means? November Thanks. So we have plenty of time ahead of us before that new LTS. Do you have a release candidate if you want to write that? It's the first of November, the release candidate. I'll say the first of November. So next week, cool. Thanks. Yes, 15 November for the release. Tomorrow we will have a security advisory. Plugins only as far as I can tell. Plugins only. So tomorrow we will need to be sure that we don't break trusted CI Jenkins.io because it will be required for generating the update center with the new version once the security advisory is published and to publish and deploy Jenkins.io website which mean survey, I'm sorry but the operation for cleaning up Jenkins.io will have to wait Thursday. But you can take backups tomorrow and prepare the operation. Next major event, we have DevOps world soon. We had one last week. I don't remember, so let me open last week. I'm not sure what would be the source of truth for this so I could prepare. So let's just write them and continue if it's okay for everyone. You also have to talk about the election voter registration which end 5 November. Yes. Good point. Election nomination is I think it's the 27 of October. The end of the nominations. Nomination and soon 27 October. Voter registration. Voter registration. So have you have you done the three of you nominations and voter registrations? I think so. I'm registered. Same here. I haven't done any nomination. So please nominate candidate for the different seats. Please look at the blog post for more information on how to do that et don't forget if you have contributed on Jenkins. I don't remember, is it the past month, past year, I don't remember the threshold but if you have contributed recently on Jenkins, please register to vote. Quick question Kevin. Is there an article about the election nomination in Jenkins and additional question. So we have something on the carousel. Yeah, okay. And then and then just as a note there's one person nominated for each seat at this point in time so if there's no other nominations that come in the week they're most likely won't be a vote because there's no point in voting for a single person so it could follow the same pattern as last year where we didn't have the vote because there weren't enough nominations. Okay. Thanks for the explanation. Okay. Do you have other announcements for upcoming calendar event folks? Yes, there will be a day off in France on Wednesday. Yep. Team availabilities So Thirst on 11 of November No French Jenkins SRE One of them is also a day off for me but only one of them in Belgium it's a bit different So expect a bit less availability from the team So good point please when we will take items on the upcoming milestone be sure that you select carefully the task you want to work on taking in account your own days off. Cool. Thanks. Other announcements calendars? Stefan, I swear next week you will, I know you will be off but in two weeks you will take the meeting lead. Ah You're thinking about everything I'm forgetting so that's perfect. Okay, maybe we'll take the day off in two weeks. So the task we were able to finish during the past milestone I think Robert lost his access to the credential plugin Yes It was changed through the RPU and settings. Perfect. Thanks Baptiste for taking care of this one Github permission for developers so as usual that has been created by the bots New component has been created on the Jira project for coverage plugin so thanks for the person who did that let me give credits where it's due Okay the bot was able to create the component so thanks Alex for looking on this There's been another Jira component but that one was archived because not needed the developer moved their issue tracking from Jira to their Github issue tracker for the plugin so we archived the associated component that was used to categorize the issues on the Jenkins Wrong plugin redirect we fixed thanks for from a user report on Jenkins website we fixed a few wrong directions on the wiki system that were configuration minor errors we located a seven like this including the one that they reported it has been fixed and deployed it was a minor configuration error on NGX there was a slash that should have been removed so thanks for the user reporting that we had the user trying to create a new Jenkins community account I don't remember what was the hands okay their account was already created so I triggered a password reset since they should have access to the email which was the proper email they should be able to follow up I went out from them so I assume it's okay I tried to contact them by private but never had an answer so I closed the issue we don't have any more any AWS S3 buckets storing Terraform states Terraform states are a critical part of our Terraform setup you can see that as a shared database of what resources are managed or used to be managed by Terraform on each of our cloud system we have one couple of these states per project we separate them physically to avoid no problem if one is failing and three of our project we are using S3 as we want to decrease the S3 builds and try to get outside the cloud base account we move these states to Azure object storage which is the same as S3 which is the same properties and we were already using this for all the other projects so that was a quick migration I have to admit that the Terraform documentation was really helpful and it was just a single command so that worked very well Any question ? Nope, next task Pluginside build commonly fails on infra-ci so that one was a long due issue and since the team was able to correct the OM kill of the pluginside backend that was a Java application there was a fix one or two weeks ago I don't remember when exactly but after one week we haven't seen any more 502 errors so that that was the root cause of that problem so we were able to close that issue so thanks everyone for the work here now let's go on the work in progress I'm trying to introduce a bit of change so I will treat the issues in the order of priority so update the top priority for us this week or nowadays Stéphane Hervé can you give us a quick heads up so last week we said you had to transfer knowledge from one to the other so Stéphane is taking the lead on the work now so we want to Yes it's a travel Yes of course what I did I did some timing for the Ersing and Sink and at the end I had some parallelization first naive with the epilouette and then with the GNU parallel command and it seems very powerful and the synchronization is taking less than a minute but we need to check on time with the real process every three minutes but it seems really really good Next is dealing with the triggering of mirror of bits Sink I need to read more docs and try to find how it's working Hervé what do you think was that good enough Yeah you can Another new pair that Daniel just opened it will stop generating latest in every dynamic order so a little bit less different knife or not or avoid and I think we are almost ready to try again our life experiment on the current data job using or if Daniel we need to pair with Daniel yes but first is mirror bit if I'm not mistaking so from Daniel to remove the latest less data to copy Thank you I mean looks really good I forgot you mentioned another element or was the pair from Daniel the latest sorry I was taking notes and trying to listen to much things We are mentioning mirror bits Stefan I did mention mirror bit that we need to trigger the check of the sync Oh the time at the end it's not the time it's triggering the check of mirror bits syncing the notes if I understood correctly what we need to do requires a bit of Kubernetes Exactly except reproducing the issue locally Did I capture what you said on a written it was way more way better because you spoke about the sim links the referencing that I forgot to tell so it's best than what I said so as a reminder updates was taking sometimes to be copied while it's the role of the crawler job so that's why we removed it with a survey and on my side I was able to reproduce the error locally that we have on the new mirror bits for updates I think I might find the issue but I need to spend a bit more time alone which I won't be able to do until tomorrow I need to stay focused one hour and that time was hidden by the remote bug I'm sure we will be able to have something to test before next milestone I said that 3 miles don't a go Anything else to add on that topic Cool great job folks Are we Are you able to talk and explain I don't see anything I'm kicked out so me is completely buggy I only see my face We can hear you Are you able to give us I reconnect Ok so I'm gonna delay the IRM64 report by your way So it's not my priority anymore that's too bad Pelnet mirror It's still disabled I wasn't able to reproduce can't reproduce the reporters network problem so I was able to obtain the class of IPs for the reporter which is on French ISP and I've asked people walking on that company to test on the same IP range and they are not blocked So whether their specific public IP is blocked which means they might be doing something words that led Belnet to block them or they have an issue on the whole firewall blocking the outbound request and right now we can't be sure of one or the other So the proposal is that I'm gonna contact directly Belnet so the person was not answering on the mailing list but there is an official email on the mirror system so I need to contact them the person I know walking for Belnet don't know that area they work for other departments and they don't know who will be the person of contact so they told me to use that email let's contact mirror admin for the public support email hard to tell because that would be a shame if we had to keep that one disabled or remove it so IRM64 mirror static link from getjenkin oh sorry are you back I'm back okay time for you to give us a report on IRM64 then last week I've finished the incremental publisher and private engines ingress migration to IRM64 the most sensible one was private engines public engines sorry because it served every public facing service we have on this cluster so quite a big list it went very well no service interruption no test and same for incremental publisher I've then worked on the publishing image as IRM64 for the other repository and prepared re-migration Kubernetes config migration the remaining one which are difficult are uplink which I think need complete revamp modernizing before we can migrate it I propose to postpone this migration until it's modernized it's using node 9 node 10 and yeah a lot of things are working as expected and we need to rework the build process and upgrade everything before doing anything else question you mention node 9 node 10 is it because there is no IRM image for node 9 and node 10 no I haven't looked at that because I wanted to get it running before trying to build ARM64 I didn't manage to do that ok because I believe uplink is updated some time to time I don't remember when was the last update to be quite honest but it's not that far away the last commit on this proposal is from 19 the last update of the docker image that's different because even if you don't change the code, the application itself can change its rebuild especially when you have docker image installing packages on latest versions do you mind double checking because if it builds even if it's old code and old node yes if we can have an ARM64 that will be too separated problem ok and next is plugin site API repository which is building its docker image quite technically it's not using more pipeline so it needs more works to be able to build a I need to understand how to build an ARM image on the current build process ok is it plugin site ok it has been updated at least 7 times during the past 2 weeks especially to fix the om kill so that should be quite easy to migrate to ARM64 because it is the same pattern as other Java application that we already migrated we don't build it the same way we build it it's not because it's the same way we use to do on other image but it's not working today and it will continue to work so that's why we should be able to do it the reason I'm mentioning it is because I had to build it locally 2 weeks ago on my macOS machine which is ARM so I know for a fact that it work locally I don't say I agree with what you said but ok next candidate and that mean you need to spend sometimes on this method am I understanding it correctly yes cool and I have other services using an image we don't build directly so they have the ARM architecture already available so it's just a Kubernetes configuration ok third manager data doc ACME there is nothing to do in ACME because it's not deployment per se using CRD from data doc we are thinking the way director but it's only an ingress there is no pod no pod what I have it's just a second on mirror bits I've also updated mirror bits oh yes open the public as a mirror bits I haven't touch a workaround update center of a concept because we are working on it and it doesn't have to be it's not in code yet but I can update it already I propose you you go for it ingress is broken on this one is that ok for you Stefan yes lastly I was wondering about also migrating quickly that's the intention but it's not a priority I haven't say that I just say that wasn't on the initial plan of that wave but we can absolutely start discussing that and start planning ahead so I'm writing next so I don't infer any kind of priority or choice is that ok for everyone that mean you can start working on it on the upcoming milestone if you have started the work on all the others and waiting for review or waiting for builds so you mentioned weekly.ci.junkins.io we we build the custom docker image which is a Jenkins official core image where we install plugins we know that Jenkins work on IRM 64 since a lot of time so that one is a good candidate to start building our own image and see how it behave in production especially because we don't have remoting for this one we don't have agent or executors so that should be a really good first steps so I think your proposal makes sense Stefan I remember that we say we wanted three waves of migration the first wave was the easy one where we just had to change the enginex image then the second wave was ok then let's move our custom docker image the one that Eva took over this week so on my side I vote for if we can get started on building the image and starting to deploy weekly.ci.junkins.io don't you think that we we may insert the creation of a not pool IRM 64 for infra also because like that we can use the same image on junkins.io and weekly it doesn't matter because I've opened a proposal to build also also an ARM image yeah of course it's both this controller this cluster is already an ARM node pool I think it's a good opportunity to try our day on weekly that's the agent.junkins.io to see if there are any issues at first step and then creating a new update for the same proposal but for the private 8s cluster or every other cluster moving most of supported services to ARM 64 yep go ahead yeah it's for the future for the next year I just wanted to point out that as you said Stefan this issue which was only regretting ARM 64 is in fact a big update of our services so really great issue for that you agree and we still have to find a way to connect to a specific database from ARM pools to not to go into a wrong way as long as we cannot connect to my SQL if I remember correctly yeah we could also switch to JavaScript no because we need to take back the data we already have we cannot switch to we can do a dump an SQL dump and convert to Postgre that's difficult I think things that are inside on the table it's not complicated there are two tables few fields I don't really like to keep something which application are you mentioning that is using MySQL writings writing no I don't remember which one no it's the statistical it's Matomo sorry Matomo does not have any PostgreSQL connector otherwise we would have used it that's the problem we have so ARM 64 you mentioned the private gates cluster yes so survey is that okay for you if we start planning it's not mandatory to do it that milestone you do it when you're ready that's that will be the next step but adding an ARM 64 node pool to be used by infrascii for agents for agents for the name with the attack agents no to make sure that Intel pods are not spawn on that implementation detail thank you implementation detail so I propose for agents first so we can start moving Kubernetes management and most of our images that would be the same process for you for instance the docker elm file image so whether we can move to the all in one image by adding the missing tools or you can just add the ARM 64 multi build like you already did the service images that's the same build process so that will be quite easy for instance docker elm file docker hashicop tools for the terraform apply etc I mentioned last week but I was a bit ambitious but the VPN VM in ARM 64 I'm thinking long term I won't have time to spend on this one the upcoming week but I'm mentioning it there so just to to have it written somewhere so yeah that's a nice take away I think you should start sharing that with Bruno and other clubbies colleagues in the community as well the take away for ARM 64 is there anything else to add on that second major topic need for clarification or is it ok for you folks ok cool thanks folks you opened an issue about mirror status link from getgenkin.io returns a 404 error we need to work on this that's most probably the html file is not copied as part of the error sync done by the mirrors I'm not sure if all mirrors have it but we will need to put our hands dirty on this one and fix it that's not top priority but that's not really nice to have a 404 error so if we can spend some time so I'm adding it to the new milestone I think the issue is well written so no question on this one to do publishing genkin security rules as packages so danielbeck had a question about choosing github packages for publishing elements on the code QL I believe I haven't answered but I think you already checked it his proposal makes sense genkin safra could be the location the genkin security scan is on genkin safra already does it make sense for everyone daniel stated yeah it's a tool containing all the ecosystem oh good point yeah good point that will mean migrating genkin security scan to genkin ci by default it's I don't remember where but he already expressed it how we how we see why repo is in one organization or the other and it made sense I'll try to point it again the problem is the trustability and the follow-up is that you cannot associate a package on one org to source code on another org so whether we move the source code repository to genkin ci if we want to publish on genkin ci packages otherwise his proposal is will be the de facto under the hood reason is because the way github provides signing for the packages for traceability it doesn't cross the boundaries of github organization because they use different private keys so to answer and close award on gdk 21 version from adoptium so I took over knowledge sharing you know Stefan to Damian so for the packer image we were able to to deploy the gdk 21 that led us to discovering the bugs so that delayed a bit but since 24 hours it's running on cia genkin ci so we are now providing gdk 21 final release for the developers of cia genkin ci on the linux virtual machines linux containers and windows virtual machine next step is to run the windows containers and all the and all the tools on poupettes so I'm taking over this one so next step windows containers and tools installation and then we are done so thanks for the work just have to do it should be done in this milestone you have a question here oh by the way tool installation will cherry pick hrv's work from genkin ci slash docker images written reminder rv so I won't forget to reuse your work thanks for this Stefan, statues on gus I don't remember that I touch it this week can we check on the issue please yes I don't remember when I did the last thing but I started splitting let's go back to one file ok I don't remember when we were able last week we migrated the first so sdf and pm yeah this one is done yes and you had to change because we were checking the the node version or the npm I forgot something linux sdf and node gs and npm we checked npm is always latest that's that we cannot check on a version because it's depending on the installation of node gs I remember I got one open, the whip ok so you have one for the other let me write this down linux other tools whip, pair so you have to spend time if you can on this one but the priority was update center and it will probably go on competition with yours on windows yes windows pair ready to review so the goal is to use gus also for windows right now my initial implementation use a separated file so we have code duplication the idea is we can merge the windows one over the same feature set than what you are doing on the master branch for linux the gdk trivi I don't remember another tool I believe it's node gs so then the goal for you will be either you start moving everything on linux and then on windows and then factorize or you factorize now or whatever path you choose we'll check we'll check we'll test factorize and move all to gus speed up the docker image library to create tags ok that one is on hold am I correct we did some tdd but with you I think I haven't seen the test yet ok I did some I remember but I spent most of my time I'm sorry no problem is that ok if we spend some time pairing on this one that milestone so I can take over during the next milestone since you will be off I will be off during this milestone Monday Tuesday ah ok I heard the first of November and second of November ok so is that ok if we pair this week so I can take over for the end of milestone tdd started and over to do this week before Steve is off any question nope info rolled back the docker oh yeah confluence data tag discovery like a week good upgrade to kubernetes 1.26 change log being read I'm halfway the change log is that ok for everyone aws decrease cost I've updated it because we removed aws s3 ok so I mentioned it on that one since we are almost end of autumn we still have two virtual machines to migrate away to tiny minor machines I'm adding this one on the backlog back to the backlog but I might spend time on one of the two services here sorry back to backlog but to VMs to be migrated the goal is for I want to check the services what they are doing because maybe we could migrate directly these services to kubernetes instead of migrating the virtual machine matumof I admit I gave up during this milestone no work done on your side are we do you ok gavin gave us details ok I need to get back on it the main issue was that there is still that problem on aks that we cannot join the mysql database from the irm64 nodes which is just a bit annoying so we'll see what we can do erve do you think you can spend some time do you want us to spend some time on it or do you think it's a bit too much right now yeah we can let's keep it in the milestone erve award on the pages to remove on jenkin sayou no progress since last week I wanted to be sure to off the backup and backup recovery before doing the switch in series already I don't remember if you had something planned can I let you continue on someone take note just just have a world war noise on my house so I need to check continue erve and someone else is writing notes so we can plan it for Thursday nothing more but it's fun planning for supported dk version this Thursday ok cool tomorrow is security advisory do you need help on this one review is there something we can do to help erve should be good I'll probably ask you for check before doing the switch but yeah I will check my backup process and then I jenkin documentation ok so I let you announcing it as soon as you can yeah and then we can check tomorrow all the mention cool finally planning for supported dk version to do removing all dk 19 no one on team was able to continue this work I believe I will be able to do some work since I have to work on the dk 21 unless someone want to help don't hesitate to send to request je still under review but I don't think marc needs any more element back from us so that should be ok for us to continue without writing anything because the jepp will write on what we wanted to do any question so do we have new issues nope do you have something else to add folks you good retarying the chinese jenkins.io website I will add the link later we have to sync so in andaman need to sync to get started for last nights ok I think that's all so folks I need to switch meetings so see you next week for people watching this very well and see you later or tomorrow thanks bye


Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer Andrew Johnson. A new NAV admin announced the establishment of a new program to provide long-term casualty assistance for surviving families of deceased service members. The Navy Gold Star program provides assistance to the surviving spouse, parents, and next-of-kin. The term next-of-kin only includes children, brothers, sisters, and half-siblings. Regional Gold Star coordinators will be assigned to the United States Regions and Navy Region Hawaii to execute the program in their respective areas. Installation Gold Star coordinators will serve as long-term advocates and points of contact for survivors. Gold Star families looking for more information should contact their local Fleet and Family Support Center. For additional guidance, check out the NAV admin on the Navy Personnel Command website.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session, we are going to discuss the following question which says that Sam has a garden in his house in which he has rose flower plants. The number of red rose flower plants is 2 less than 5 times the number of pink rose flower plants form an equation and represent this relationship on the graph. Now the question says that Sam has a garden in which he has rose flower plants where the number of red rose flower plants is 2 less than 5 times the number of pink rose flower plants. Now we need to form an equation for this relationship and also we shall represent this relationship on the graph. Before forming an equation for the given statement we first identify the independent variables and the dependent variables. Now we shall learn about independent variables and dependent variables. In a system independent variables are taken as inputs which can be given specific values freely and variables that are determined by other variables in the expression or if their values depend on the values of the independent variables are called dependent variables. With this key idea let us move on to the solution. Now the question says that the number of red rose flower plants is 2 less than 5 times the number of pink rose flower plants and we need to form an equation for this relationship. Before we form an equation we have to first identify which is the dependent variable and which is the independent variable. Here the number of rose flower plants depends on the number of pink flower plants. So let the number of pink rose flower plants be x which is the independent variable and let the number of red rose flower plants be y which is the dependent variable and from the key idea we know that independent variables are taken as inputs which can be given specific values freely and the variables that are determined by other variables in the expression are if their values depend on the values of the independent variables are called dependent variables and we have given that number of red rose flower plants is 2 less than 5 times the number of pink rose flower plants. That is we have number of red rose flower plants is equal to 5 into number of pink rose flower plants minus 2 or we can write it as number of red rose flower plants which is denoted by y is equal to 5 into number of pink rose flower plants that is x minus of 2 hence y is equal to 5x minus 2 is the required equation. Now let us draw this on the graph. For this we first draw the table to obtain the ordered pairs. First row of the table is for x, second is for y and third is the row for the resulted ordered pair x, y. Let the values for x be 0, 1 and 2 and if the value of x is 0 and we know that y is given by 5 into x minus 2 that is 5x minus 2 so here we substitute the value of x as 0 and we get 5 into 0 minus 2 which is equal to 5 into 0 is 0 minus 2 that is minus 2 so here we get the value of y as minus 2 so x is equal to 0, y will be equal to minus 2 so the ordered pair obtained as given by 0 minus 2 Now if x is equal to 1 then the value for y will be equal to 5 into 1 minus 2 that is 5 minus 2 which is equal to 3 so we get y is equal to 3 if the value of x is equal to 1 then the value of y is given by 3 and the ordered pair so obtained is 1, 3 and lastly if the value of x is equal to 2 then the value of y will be equal to 5 into 2 minus 2 that is 5 into 2 that is 10 minus 2 which is equal to 8 so we get the value of y as 8 that is if the value of x is equal to 2 then we get the value of y as 8 and the ordered pair is 2, 8 now we shall plot these points on the graph we will draw the perpendicular axis and mark points on it so here we have the horizontal axis and the vertical axis the horizontal axis x represents the independent variables and the vertical axis y will represent the dependent variables now we shall mark the points on this graph first let us take the point 0 minus 2 we mark 0 on the x axis and minus 2 on the y axis and we get the point 0 minus 2 next we mark the point 1, 3 by taking 1 on the x axis and 3 on the y axis and we get the point 1, 3 similarly we mark the point 2, 8 by taking 2 on the x axis and 8 on the y axis and we get the point 2, 8 now we have got all the 3 points on the graph and then we join the 3 points and obtain a straight line by joining these 3 points and this is our required graph this completes our session hope you enjoyed this session


All right, so I've got a bit of a dream story and also a lucid dreaming challenge for you today. This kind of goes along with what's called dream commands. So in this challenge, I want you to try and ask the lucid dream to surprise you. So go into a lucid dream, use whatever technique you want, okay? And by the way, I will actually read out people's comments from this video in a future video. So if you do want your story to be shared, leave a comment letting me know what you think about this. So go into a lucid dream, use whatever technique you want, okay? You can use the 90 isle technique, the net technique. These are all on my channel. But this will blow your mind because it will be different every single time and for every single person who tries this, this will be different for you. And this is why I find it so exciting because it's gonna be quite a diverse experience and quite an interesting experiment to do. So I really hope that you get on well with this. So here's what you need to do. Become lucid, ask the lucid dream to surprise you. Literally just call out in the dream, say, give me some surprise, show me something different, show me something unusual or unexpected. And just say that, just say it and then wait. Wait a few seconds and if nothing happens, try and say it again. What will probably happen is, well, I can't tell you exactly what will happen because it's gonna be different for everyone. But for me, it was pretty mind blowing, pretty unbelievable what happened next.  Every second your conscious mind takes in 16 to 40 bits of information per second. Your subconscious mind takes in 11 million bits of information in one second. That just gives you an idea of the computational power of the subconscious mind and how much more there is to your brain than you know. So when you ask your lucid dream or ask your subconscious to surprise you, you can guarantee it's gonna be a surprise. Not only will it be a surprise, but it will be a message from something higher. This is where I'm gonna lose half of you.  Yes, the dreaming process happens in your head while you're asleep, but you are open to messages from your higher self and other dimensions and planes of existence. Now, no, I do not have any studies to link to for this. This has not been studied. This is just my opinion and my belief based on my personal beliefs, my research and reading that I've done and what I've experienced myself, which is that you can get messages from your higher self through the dream in the form of symbology, guidance, insights and what the dream will show you if you ask it to surprise you. Now lucid dreaming or dream meaning experts often say, don't lucid dream if you want to interpret your dreams and I completely agree. Because when you become lucid, the symbology kind of becomes more in your control and less random. You shift from being almost completely unconscious or subconscious to mostly conscious. And it's kind of like a hybrid state where you are aware of what you're doing at the same time the dream is creating itself subconsciously. But by being aware of it, by being lucid, you stop the lucid dream or I should say, you stop the dream, your subconscious mind from showing you things, messages, things that it was going to show you. So that is true. However, here is an exception to that. If you become lucid and then tell the dream to surprise you, then you're going to get stuff that you never would have got before. This is going to be unbelievably powerful and prophetic insights into your life, into your purpose, your higher mission, all of these really important things. And most of you, maybe you don't care, but I would advise you to at least try this out. Try this challenge out and see what happens. See what the dream shows you. So yeah, by asking the dream to surprise you, you will get an unexpected result. However, and this is really important, just like an LSD or a hallucinogenic trip, your subconscious or conscious reality expectations, what you think will happen, will influence how bad the trip or the dream will be or how good it will be. If you go into this and you're scared, you will have a bad experience. The dream, the lucid dream will terrify you. It will give you something really shocking, pretty mind-blowing. I've had this happen a few times and it's been pretty tough to deal with. However, if you go into this with a good mindset, a positive mindset, you're happy, you're excited and you're open to positive new messages. If you do it then, the lucid dream is going to give you an incredible experience. I promise you that.


Hello and welcome to this presentation of the STM32 System Window Watchdog. It will cover the main features of this peripheral used to detect software faults. The Window Watchdog is used to detect the occurrence of software faults. The Window Watchdog can be programmed to detect abnormally late or early application behavior. It is best suited for applications required to react within an accurate timing window. Once enabled, it can only be disabled by a device reset. An early wake-up interrupt can be generated before a reset happens to perform a system recovery or manage certain actions before a system restart. The Window Watchdog offers several features. The user can program the timeout value and the window width according to application needs. It can generate a reset under two conditions. When the down counter value becomes less or equal to 0x3f or when the Watchdog is refreshed outside the time window. It can generate an early wake-up interrupt when the down counter reaches 0x40. The early wake-up interrupt can be used to reload the down counter in order to avoid a reset generation or to manage system recovery and context backup operations. As shown in the figure, the Window Watchdog uses the APB clock or PCLK as reference clock for its time base. The PCLK is provided by the RCC block. This clock is divided by 4096 and by a value programmed by the application. The application can also program the reload value of the down counter bits T6 to 0. The window width is controlled by bits W, 6 to 0. The STM32WB's embedded WWDG is dedicated for use by the CPU1 only. The WWDG is connected to the APB1 bus and clocked by the APB1 clock. The WWDG early wake-up interrupt output is connected to the NVIC of the CPU1. It is possible to select the hardware or software start via an option byte. In hardware mode, the WWDG can be automatically enabled after reset. The Window Watchdog is frozen when the system is in stop, standby or shutdown mode but can remain active when the CPU1 is in C-sleep mode. The WWDG performs a system reset handled by the RCC block when a timeout occurs or when the WWDG is refreshed outside the allowed window. This diagram illustrates how the Window Watchdog operates. When the 7-bit down counter rolls over from 0x40 to 0x3F, the Watchdog asserts the reset. This happens if the application software does not refresh the Window Watchdog on time. The early wake-up interrupt or EWI if enabled can be generated when the down counter reaches 0x40. If the software refreshes the Watchdog while the down counter is greater than the value stored in bits, W6 to 0, a reset is generated. This happens when the application refreshes the Watchdog too early. No interrupt is generated in this case. To prevent a Window Watchdog reset, the Watchdog refresh must happen while the down counter value is lower than the time window value and greater than 0x3F. This is illustrated by the green area. The refresh operation consists of reloading the down counter with bits T6 to 0. The WWDG can work either in hardware or software mode. In software mode, the application needs to enable the APB1 Watchdog clocks via the RCC and set the bit WDGA to 1 in the WWDG in order to enable the Watchdog. Note that once the APB1 clock for the Watchdog is enabled, the application cannot disable it. Only a system reset can disable the Watchdog clock. The low-power enable bit can be set as well if the application wishes to keep the window Watchdog activated, even if the CPU1 is in sleep mode. In hardware mode, there is no need to enable the Watchdog. The WWDG is counting down when the CPU1 is in run or sleep. The bits WWDGEN and WWDGSMEN are forced to 1 by the hardware. The down counter uses the APB1 clock divided by 4096 and again divided by a division ratio selected by the application. This division can be 1, 2, 4, or 8, as defined in the WWDG CFR register. The formula shown in this slide lets you determine the Watchdog timeout value. When a system reset occurs, it is possible to identify the cause of the reset thanks to status flags provided by the RCC block. The window Watchdog can be one of the sources. The early wake-up interrupt or EWI can be used in order to perform emergency tasks before the reset occurs, such as data logging, data protection, Watchdog refresh in order to prevent the reset or other emergency tasks. The EWI interrupt occurs whenever the down counter value reaches 0x40. It is enabled by setting EWI bit in the WWDG CFR register. The EWI interrupt is cleared by writing 0 to the EWIF bit in the WWDGSR register. The window Watchdog is active in run and sleep modes. It is not available in stop, standby, or shutdown mode. In sleep mode, when the Watchdog is used in software start mode, it can be enabled by clearing the low-power enabled bit located in the RCC block.

All proceeds from the scramble will go towards funding community outreach programs including Christmas with a first responder. This year we're going to be, it's part of our outreach program, it's to raise money for our Christmas with a first responder, our money we give to the schools and things like that. So it's for man teams basically with captains that's going to be held at the Green Metal Country Club this year. Like I said, our second annual one, the first one was very successful, it was very successful. It's for great cause. Registration is now open and it's $500 per team. Lunch and refreshments will be provided. It's giving back to the community. It does so much so the least we can do is give back to the community, especially our children. Children didn't understand why Santa didn't bring them everything they wanted. Well, we changed that. When they tell their teacher or the individuals that get us the list of what they wanted, and this is their wish list, this is what they want, then we're going to make that happen. All proceeds go to the kids. The scramble will begin at 9am at Green Metal Country Club. For more information and to register or sponsor the event, go to Pikeville Police on Facebook.

offensive my questions to has he seen any reports dated in 2008 of a political party wanting to have the mixtonship of the modelsequently supplies to Kiwbками and which if so, which political party was it? the order of point of order is being called the right row Winston Peters the very order, the very obvious response to that inappropriate question is that that minister Order! Remember it was you Miss Seat! Right now! Order! Order! Order! Just because a member in the House doesn't like a question being asked, the question is in order, it relates to strategic assets and the sale of strategic assets. The Prime Minister asked about whether the Minister had received certain reports. The Honourable Bill English to answer it. If I wasn't sure which political party it was when the Prime Minister asked that question, I am now, and I think it was New Zealand first who advocated mixed ownership model for Kiwi Bank in the 2008 election. Question. Point of order to the right Hon Winston Peters. It's padly obvious that he has received a report. Order! Order! Order! Order! Order! Order! Order! Order! Order! Question. In 2008, you proposed floating shares in Kiwi Bank. Is that still your policy? No, I didn't say that. I said, if you want to expand Kiwi Bank and didn't have the money, and so you were taking, say, from $1 billion to $1.5 billion, floating the second $500 amount. You wanted to sell shares in Kiwi Bank, didn't you? Can I answer the question? You're asking for an economic equation. The public are entitled to it even if you can't understand it. What I was saying is, if you want a broadness capital base, doing that would not be a privatisation. It's rudimentary, and you're trying to say it's the same thing. So selling shares in Kiwi Bank, you wanted to do that? We're not selling shares in Kiwi Bank, we're expanding the shareholding base to get you the extra capital. It's a different matter from selling the first billion-dollar shares. Don't you see the point? You did sell shares in Auckland Airport, including 40% of them were sold to foreigners. Oh, yes, you got the handset here. July 28, 1998. You are saying that, here to Michael Cullen, that excluding foreign investors from the offering would have lowered the price that the Crown received from its shares. So why was it okay for you to sell shares to foreigners? It wasn't. It wasn't. It was a public asset, and now you're writing an answer. I knew you'd ask that question. Well, give me the answer. Well, the answer is simply this. We, at the time, were caught with a company unable to develop and with high debt.

So many of you have fought earlier tyrannies before my time and know what it is like to be far from home fighting for those near and dear to you. Our men in Vietnam need your support now.

Hi guys, it's Monica. I went to share with you a couple of things today. First of all, I want to talk about my hair. Do you think of it? Isn't it awesome? And the next thing I want to talk about is my eyelashes and I'm going to have a little bit of a giveaway at the end of the video. So if you're interested in hair and eyelashes and the giveaway, make sure you watch the entire video. I will try to be brief. No guarantees. First of all, let me just talk to you about my hair. This is the Editors Pick. This is a Raquel Welch Editors Pick in Shaded Cappuccino. This is probably a darker color than you guys are used to. It's very close to my natural hair, although more highlights because the brown has a lot more highlights in here where my color that you usually see may and is more all over, you know, with fewer highlights. But I'm going to just show you the color. Hopefully that'll pick up. So it's the Raquel Welch. It is the Editors Pick and the color is Shaded Cappuccino. I totally love this color. So when I came home this week, I saw this big box sitting on my doorstep and I knew immediately, I recognized the box immediately. I knew immediately what it was because my flirt alert from Raquel Welch came in the same box and I was like, oh, oh, oh, because Haley from wigs.com had contacted me and asked me if I would be interested in reviewing another one of their wigs. And of course, that was a no-brainer for me. I was absolutely honored that they reached out and asked me. They did give me a budget and they, I mean, Super Haley is super easy to work with. She's just absolutely a wonderful, wonderful, I think liaison for me anyways and I'm sure for anyone that would be working with her. Anyway, she gave me a budget. I went through the budget and I said, you know, I've had my eyeball on Editors Pick for a really long time. I would love to do the Editors Pick and I'm debating between the shade that I have in the, I think it's Shaded Wheat, the one that I have in my flirt alert and Shaded Cappuccino, which has been attracting me for a long time. And she said, you know, Shaded Cappuccino is a beautiful shade and so we talked back and forth. She said, let's, you know, if you want it, go for it. So I ordered the Editors Pick in Shaded Cappuccino. Let me turn around a little bit. I feel like, like, you know, like they have their watch, Taz's wig closet or even Nisha's sugar puff and fluff when they review their wigs and all that and they, they shake and they show you how the movement. I sort of kind of feel like that. Of course, not on that scale at all, but I just wanted you to see it. So anyways, I got all excited. She said that they would send it to me and then she contacted me back and said, oh, she's the hate to tell you this, but the color is on back order. If you want to pick another color, we can send it out to you right away. And I said to her, no, no, no, I'll wait, I'll wait. So she said it was going to be on back order until the 15th of April. And then she's about a week and a half ago, she reached out to me and she said, it's in. We're going to ship it. And I got it this past week. And I was like, oh my gosh, I was so happy. I, I will tell you, I really, really love this wig. Now this is a heat, the heat defiant. And I'm going to show you a little bit of when I opened up the box so you can see I'm going to have the clip over, over there. I was so excited when I opened the package up, reading the little card, reading the personal note, and then opening the box. Oh my gosh. And I just couldn't wait to see the color. And even in the box inside out the color, you could just see how fabulous it really was. It is amazing. The highlights, the wig is just absolutely gorgeous. I'm truly, truly in love with it. For me to say I love this gift is an understatement. It really is. I am over the moon in love with this wig. I really am. It feels so wonderfully natural on me. Yes, it's a bit more volume than maybe the Florida alert. But I think I keep looking into my mirror over here. I think it looks really great in the packaging. There's a little kind of a puff.  If you feel your wigs a little bit too shiny, you can put this on. This is a free gift from wigs.com. And it just kind of can take down a little bit of the shine for you. I also got a little cosmetic bag or a bag to hold some of my brushes. This would be actually a perfect bag to hold some of my cosmetic brushes. And I got a, this is sort of a mesh bag, which I really like. I mean, this, I'm not too sure exactly what I would put in here yet when I travel. But I think this would be perfect even for hair brushes, hair accessories, things of that nature. And even some of my little hair pieces that I travel with my fake buns and stuff like that would be really great to put in there. So that said, I am, I am like super thrilled with this. I really am. Can you tell? So let me know, what do you think? Oh, when I also got a brush, they sent this really nice little brush for, you know, that you can use. And you have to be really careful with these heat defiant wigs because they're, they're delicate in a way. They're, you know, I mean, when you have the synthetic fiber, they probably a little bit more durable, but the trade off is a very realistic look, feel, and flow, I think to this wig. So yeah, I'm definitely in love. I am definitely in love. Thank you so much wigs.com. When I take this off, I'll show you the inside of the cap. It does have a slight permatease, so it does have some little fullness up here. I can part this on either side. The, and I'm going to pull up close so you can kind of maybe see the lace front is really awesome. I mean, and I've heard some people say these bangs were a little bit, you know, different for some people, but I actually like these little bangs. And I like the fact that I could even go on either side if I really wanted to wear it and move it around, you know, because of the monofilament and the lace front, it actually sits beautifully.  So I, and it's very secure. This is an average fit. I think this is the average shady cappuccino average editor's pick. Yeah, I think it's just really beautiful. So the other thing I wanted to mention to your twofold is my eyelashes. I don't know if you can see my eyelashes, but many of you know that I have been using the Blink Eyelash Semin for quite a while. I stopped using it in February, right around the time that I was contacted by City Beauty. Now, City Beauty sent me a beautiful PR package with lippies, with a sculpting cream, with these amazing, amazing face masks that I absolutely love. Out of the, out of all the city, I mean, out of all of the face masks that I have used, I must tell you, I love this one the best. Let me get it for you. This is my last one. I think this face mask is awesome. It is, when I use this, I mean, yes, City Beauty sent me all this. This is part of a PR package. But if I don't like something, I'm going to tell you I didn't like it or I'm not going to talk about it. But if I talk about something, it's because I like it. Now, when City Beauty sent this PR package, there was no strings attached. There was no requirement that I do a video. There was no requirement that I promoted on Instagram. Of course, that's what they want. They want you to do that. I mean, it's a PR package, right? I mean, it, it bears to, it's reasonable that they would want that. But there was no requirement. So I have to tell you this Hydro Mask, I'm in love with this Hydro Mask. This is a really super, super nice Hydro Mask. I love it a lot. So this came from City Beauty along with several of the lippies. I think I have a lot of them standing right here. You have several of these lippies all from, from City Beauty. And I got a, I got the cream. What else did I get? I think you just got the next Sculpting Cream. Anyways, I really enjoy the masks a lot. And I have really enjoyed, and you guys can read the reviews on the City Lash, you know, if you want. I, it's got some sort of peptides in it. It is really a beautiful, beautiful lash serum. I used, when I stopped using the Blank because I, I do believe that after a while, your skin, your hair, your eyelashes, you get so used to something it may not be as effective as it normally is. So I, just like last year, stopped using my campro, stopped using my Blank for about two months. And I tried other li, eyelash serums in that, in the interim. And I did not, did not find anything I liked. So this year when I stopped, at the same time City Beauty had sent me this, and it just was a coincidence. So I said, okay, so I stopped using my Blank because I wanted to give it a rest. And I started using this. I use this every night and every morning. And one of the things that I noticed on this was I thought that my eyelashes were curling more than normal. I do not use an eyelash curler. The thought of an eyelash curler just totally grosses me out. I'm sorry, you know, anyone that loves them, I, I just, I cannot use an eyelash curler or nor can I watch someone use an eyelash curler. No way. So I started using this and I noticed that my lashes seemed to curl more. And even though I wasn't using the Blank, I wasn't having any fallout. It was containing my fallout. Now your lashes go in cycles. You're going to lose lashes and have new redros. It is a cycle. Nothing is going to stop that from happening. It's just the way it happens. With this, I noticed that the fallout after stopping the care pros for the two months was very minimal. And I noticed that my lashes were staying when I don't put any mascara on. My lashes were nice and conditioned. They felt really, really, really super good. I really like them. I thought this was really good. It's pricey. I believe when it's not on sale and there's usually sales. I think it's like 70 some odd dollars when it's not on sale. But one of these I think would last you at least an easy three months. So as an alternative, I think it's a great alternative. So now what I'm doing is I'm back on my Blink because I want my lashes to continue. It's not so much that I want them to get longer. I want them to get thicker. I want them to continue to have the thickness. And this did really good for conditioning, for minimizing the fallout, for making my lashes feel lush and long. But this is going to give me the additional regrowth and the thickness. So I'm using I'm back on my Blink because I've been off it for almost two months. So I'm back on my Blink and I'm using this every single night. And I do the same thing.  And with this, it is in a tube and it's like a little pointy thing. And I just use this in the morning. So I'm using the City Lash in the morning and I'm using the Blink at night. So far, my eyelashes are doing fabulous. Absolutely fabulous. I really love, I love my eyelashes. They're doing, they're doing fantastic. So let's talk mascara. I use a primer every day. And I have several different primers that I've used. High end to low end. My primer of choice that I really, really like for my eyelashes is the Essence Volume Booster Lash Serum. This is my eyelash primer. In the morning I put this on. I let my eyelashes dry and then I start with one of my mascaras. Now I have had several high end mascaras sent to me free in exchange or complimentary I should say in exchange for review via the Octilly Network. And some of them I've bought. So out of the mascaras that I really, really like. My high end has been the It Cosmetics because it's nice and it's a wet mascara. It can dry out. It can get lumpy. You have to be really careful with this. But I do like the lashes. It gives me my drugstore preference and I'm all out so I don't have it to show you is I really, really like the Essence Lash. What is the lash in purple? It is the black and purple tube. And I like that one a lot. So high end it cosmetics the Essence. Now I have been, I was fortunate enough to receive a PR package from Sigma and to be sort of an affiliate with them meaning that they send me stuff and I have discount codes and all that. They also sent me a number of brushes and things of that nature. And one of the things that they sent was a mascara. And so I'm a mascara queen. So now this mascara is kind of like it may be hard I actually don't think it's hard but it may be hard for some people to come out. I absolutely love this brush. The thing with this mascara is it takes a bit of manipulation. A meaning I have to do a few coats to really get it to show on my lashes but once it starts to grab and show on my lashes it's like a wow for me. I have never had, I've worn this probably I don't know six or seven days in a row. I've never had any flakies. I've never had any clumps.  Where sometimes with my it I have to go through with a little fine comb just to get out some of the lumps at times. It's just the nature of the beast. My Sigma mascara I really like it a lot but that's me. Yes it's hard to get out. Yes it has a very fine brush but I like that. So I think that's pretty cool. The other couple of lashes that I'm really liking a lot and I know I'm going to butcher the name. One is the Kevin, it's the Kevin Kahn. You can see this is a little bit messed up because I use it a lot. So in the morning and I even like this brush, this was sent to me for review. I like it a lot. It lasts, it looks really good on my lashes. And other one that was sent to me and I I want to say out of all the ones that have been sent to me recently including the Sigma, the one that I like the best out of all the high end that has been sent to me. Now granted I didn't pay anything. I've got the Grandilash, I've got the Kevin Kahn, I've got the Sigma. I have a few others they're just not here. The one I like the best is the YSL. The shock. I really like the YSL mascara the best. I like it better than my IT Cosmetics. I like it better than my Essence in Purple. So if I was going to spend a lot of money on a mascara, which I probably wouldn't, I'd buy this. If money were no object and I wasn't concerned and I really wanted to have a good solid beautiful beautiful no fail mascara, I'd buy this. I also have this in blue. Now I've worn the blue a couple of times and it's really pretty. It made me go right back to my teenage years to have blue mascara, but I really like this a lot. So my IT Cosmetics Superhero. Now I buy this. It was Mary Ellen who first turned me on to buying it through the QVC. So I do buy it through QVC and sometimes I wonder if it comes out dry a little bit because sometimes when I open the first one it feels a little dry.  I've done it to almost all my mascaras after a while if they dry. I'm trying not to open any new mascaras at this point at all because I want to empty the four that I am working on. Actually the five. I can't count the five that I have opened that I'm working on. So all the rest I'm not going to open and touch. But I wanted to let you know what I was doing for my eyes. My eyelashes. I am back using the Blink and I love the Blink and I know that the ordering process for the Blink can be difficult. It is the exact same thing as care post. If you prefer to buy a care post and you want to use it go right ahead. I understand there's some controversy about this. This is a medicine and it is something that has had side effects in certain people. So to some people their blue eyes turn brown or have specks and there are other specks and there's some redness and irritation. I've been very very fortunate to not have any redness or any irritation at all the entire time I've been using this. So I'm really liking this a lot. That said I have one giveaway. If you're still here at the end I'm going to give away two bottles of Blink. And one of these bottles of Blink has an expiration date of July. The next one is much further out. So it's going to be up to you whether or not you want to use something beyond the expiration date. So one has a July 2019 expiration date. It doesn't bother me. I've used my Retin-A beyond the expiration date. But that's me. That's my skin. I'm not telling you what to do. How to do it. If you should do it. The other one the expiration date is much later. So there's no worries. So two bottles of Blink for someone who really wants it. You know say you want to try it and enter the giveaway. You have to be subscribed. You have to let me know that you want the Blink and you have to tell me what do you think of my editor's pick. Do you like this or what? I really do. So thanks so much guys for bearing with me today and my excitement on my wig.


Why, then, the Democrats, if everything's fine, want to make all states perform their elections the same with HR1 and include things that just don't make sense, dropping the voting age to 16. Do we want teenagers voting, banning any state, banning any state from requiring ID? You know, I have to present an ID to get cigarettes or beer. We certainly should for the integrity of the vote. So if everything is fine, why are the Democrats cramming this? And I can tell you what's going on in Georgia is about politics. They're gaslighting these changes. They're gaslighting these improvements in fear-mongering, calling them racist, calling them Jim Crow, so that they can then justify getting rid of the filibuster and then cram through HR1, which will make it the nation's vote-like California and vote-like New York. They have confidence in all these issues based on a manufactured lie that the election was stolen. There were multiple recounts in Georgia. I mean, both sides have their arguments about the bill. I just interviewed Gabriel Sterling, Republican in the Secretary of State's office last night, and he conceded that, yes, I mean, had Donald Trump not lost Georgia, they probably wouldn't have done this. He said there was a punitive measure in the bill against the Secretary of State's office. No, he said that about one specific issue on his office. I said that. I said that. One specific issue, but Gabriel and Kemp were the same officials CNN and the media and others were lauding when they pushed back on Trump, but now this is a crisis and now this is voter suppression and now this is racist. So I think we're, there's a little bit of talking out of both sides of our mouth on this one. Well, and I'm not taking a certain position. I'm just looking at the facts here, and there are a record number of bills being passed through Republican legislatures, which they have the right to, hey, they were elected into the office. They have the right to do that. I am not saying that. And through the Democratic-led Congress, right, so as their number one priority, their first bill, not immigration, not healthcare reform, not transportation, their number one priority. And if everything is fine, then why do they want to so dramatically change the way the entire nation votes? If everything is fine, then the same question would go. And I want to get to COVID and China, too. But the same question would go again in Florida, where if it was so great, were you guys been doing mail-in ballots using drop boxes for so long? Because Florida was a disaster. And why? Florida was a disaster years ago. Yeah, it used to be. Years and years ago. And we've improved. And we've improved every time. So then why, okay. So anyway, we could talk about that. And by the way, Pennsylvania in 2019, the Republican legislature passed the mail-in ballots there. But we must move on. I like a lively debate, and this certainly has been one.
