I go by vegan straight edge. I have a website. I am Shane.com. I have a couple of announcements. He sort of stole a little thunder there. Ben Blythe and I, together we are Shaming. We organize a conference in Seattle called Cascadia Roomie. It serves the sort of Portland, Seattle, Vancouver area. We did one last year in July. We're doing another one. Super great. We should come up. It's August 3rd and 4th. We're signing the contract this week, so it's still possible, I guess, that that date has changed. I'm doing another farmhouse comp in May, so on 5-5-12. Like Coby said, it's in my backyard. It's under a 100-year-old avocado tree. It's at my house, which is a whole farmhouse. I just realized that I still have given them an avocado. I apologize for that. And it's sort of like backyard Ted Talks. There's storytelling. There's no slides. There's no projectors. There's no worry of anyone staring at the wall the whole time while they talk to you. And like any provocative talk, it is more not some things than it is others. So I just want to clear up a couple of misconceptions here. Hey, the guy with the pie shirt and the striped hoodie, they just walked in. Be close. Thanks. So I am not a unique and beautiful snowflake. I am not that different than all of you in this room. I think what I'm saying doesn't just apply to me and people like me. I'm not married. I don't have kids. I don't have any mortgage. And maybe you have some combination of those. But I think what I'm saying now applies to Joe O'Brien, who spoke first, and has all those things as much as it does to anyone else. This talk is not an attack on capitalism. That's a talk for a different day. And this talk is also not an attack on work with a capital W, meaning not just the act of laboring to accomplish some goals, not lower-pace W work. But the idea of going to a job to survive this talking is not an attack on that. That's a different thing. Okay, so real talk. If you were guaranteed not to fail, what would you do?  I'll put it in a different way.  Okay, so the obvious second question or the pull of that question is always, what's stopping you? Why aren't you doing this? What's really stopping you?  That's just a thing that you can do. And I don't know you.  I don't know how much money you make. I don't know your hopes and dreams and secret desires. You always have to have a secret plan. Always have a secret plan. But I do know this. You're better than you think you are. In this room and in this community, I see some of the smartest, most creative people in the world. I see all this beautiful, amazing potential. I see it squandered every day. It's squandered. There's just an entire generation of incredible programmers building online advertising.  So, as you might have guessed from the title of my talk, I want you to quit your job. And this isn't a metaphor. Actually, as a quick survey, who is here, whose boss is also here. Okay. Sort of not pretty people actually.  So, who here is the smartest person on their team? Be honest. Most of you aren't people. Don't be so humble.  Joe was saying, you were bored in science class or math class because you were smarter than the teacher. You're probably not learning as much as you should be or could be if you were on a better team. I've had the great fortune of working with Aaron Patterson twice. Man, if you want to learn a whole lot real fast, work with that guy. And I share my living room office with Evan and John who just spoke every day. You think you're nerdy? Try being the least smart person on a team or try being smart in the middle. You'll learn a whole lot real fast. I guarantee you're not making enough money. So, we all do Ruby. Who also does iOS? Who also does Android? Okay.  Work wherever you want and you pay it as much as you want. It's ridiculous. It's kind of what Joe was talking about, the people's motivations for why they want to work at a place and what excites them to sell. At a certain point, money doesn't do it anymore. But if we're in a boom right now, it's crazy to think of that. Take a whole lot of money and do something awesome and bank a lot. So, I want you to think about your salary, whatever that number is, hold that in your head right now. And give yourself a raise. So, what is that new salary? How much? This guy is real excited. I'm just watching my response. Okay. So, this guy is giving up. Whatever that number is, your new salary, increase it again by 25 or 50%. Sincerely. I promise you, you are worth more than you think you are. So, who here is hiring? We always hear that at conferences and videos. Okay, keep your hands up for a second. Everyone who's hiring, keep your hands up if you're willing to pay big salaries to coach good people from other places. Everyone who thinks they're not going to pay them up, group A. Everyone whose hands are up, group B. Group A, meet group B. So, after we're done here, maybe in the break, you groups can talk to each other. So, that's just step one. That's just a better job.  Or maybe just to do something different. You've been at the same place for 13 months and that's past your one year limit. Or maybe to go do nothing at all.  There's nothing wrong with doing nothing. Maybe you go start your own company. Like, Ron Evans and Dan Fisher, they wrote a consultancy and they love it. Like, they are their own bosses. Maybe you go start a product shop because you want to build an iPad game for cats. Or maybe you start a collective with your friends and peers. You take co-working to the logical end.  Surely you come up with ideas for something to do that you don't need a job. You don't need someone else telling you what to do that you've got it. Or maybe you just never quit the job.  Maybe you do it to gain courage. I quit several jobs. I've fired several jobs and I've had a few quit me. That's the best moment ever. You know when you start a new project at a job for yourself and you say blue skies and green fields, well it's really like clear eyes and full hearts, right? Nothing is better than that moment freshly out of the job before you even start thinking about what's next. And if you're in this room, you've got to work out. What's next is easy. For that moment where you're free for a few minutes, that's the best. Or maybe you're not proud of the work you do. You're not proud of the product that you build. You're not proud of the company you work for. Those are the best reasons ever to quit. Maybe you quit your job and professional program. I don't know. And self-portrait, build a house. You know, travel the world. Throw down some cardboard and do some multiple breakdancing. You just need to get wild. Maybe you quit because every day that you go to your job you're quietly dying a little bit on the inside. And one day you wake up and you're in the middle of an iteration, finding meaning.  And you realize I've spent too much of my life on this. Or maybe you quit because you realize you have the skills of one of the most important crafts of our culture. Think about that for a second. Software touches everything. It's not just in our lives, right? Because we're nerds and obviously we make the software that we're touching all the time. But the mumble's walking outside. We have no idea what's going on in this room. Even in their lives, right? Computers and phones obviously and websites. What are we paying to sign grocery stores and this hotel? Everything about our lives is mitigated through software. Our entire culture is arranging itself around software. I'm not the only person to think that software is the new literacy. I think Matt Mulway said that first. But the idea that everyone should know some degree of scripting or coding, whatever you want to call it. You shall be able to build things because that's the new mass profession. After farming and manufacturing and construction and service work, programming is the next mass profession.   You want to build something that outlives you, that makes the world better, a better place, that makes the lives better. It may be the transport culture of that. So this is the tallest slide I have. I'm sorry people in the back. So I'll read it to you. I want to do like a brief computer science history lesson here. And this is a brief, very complete history of noteworthy achievements and a few of the computing as researched almost exclusively over Wikipedia. So some days like C was invented in 72, really means like even working on for a few years. Okay, so in 1820s and 30s, Babbage sets out to build the first mechanical calculator and then later the difference engine. And his friend Ada Lovelace gets into it and writes the first algorithm, Node-G, which was designed to be executed on machine. And that machine was never finished in built by Babbage. She ran out of money and political for squabbling. Years later, a science museum built the difference engine and the analytical unit. And Ada's algorithm worked. So not only did she write the first algorithm, she wrote it for a machine that she couldn't test on. She was arguably the first programmer. Alonzo Church invented lambda calculus in 1925. And Grace Hopper invented cobalt and the first compiler in the 40s. I mean, write a compiler at all. Write a compiler using my C++ and still non-trivial. And then we get Blist in 1958. And then some of these are going to slip down on the bottom of the screen and it doesn't really matter because I'll say them out loud and this will all be online later. So Douglas Engelbart admits the mouse. It's this wood block and it has wheels. And what do you do when you have a mouse and computers as they were in the 60s? You can collect coordinates.  So he goes on to explore the ideas of hypertext and hypermedia. Those words were first said by Ted Nelson, who's also independently working on those ideas. And Robert Sanadu, who was never really shipped. Like the ultimate paperwork.  And he would show off any one of these things in 1968. I think that would be pretty groundbreaking.  He had video conferencing, real-time text editing between machines in 1968, all before the United States. So the ARPANET, which is just one of the pieces that would eventually become the Internet, there was Cyclades and France and England and there was also the Rampover Network. They started using packets, switching to TCP. And then we get units and those two guys. They know a thing or two about a thing or two, right? And then at Xerox Park, Adele, Wilbur and some others and small talk and I could join the program. And then they proceed to invent or reinvent everything. Basically modern computers, that's what we know them. And then before now, before 1972, you can send email, but only on the same host. It's like a Facebook message. And then so this guy on the side with his boss not knowing about it works it out so that on ARPANET you can send email to veganstorage.gmail.com and it would come to me even if he wants on Gmail. Novel, right? And then Ken Thompson and Dennis Richie strike back and then see for this way in 1972. And then Woz comes up with the Apple One. Amazing little board, right?  And then in 1977 we get the Apple Two from Jobs and Woz and then Bob Woz. And then Bill Joy, sort of, you know, clean room, reverse engineers, UNIX and ships, DSD even later. How many of you use them? You're welcome, right? Not from me, from Bill Joy. And then we get, I lose old enough to remember VBSs, right? So, Ward Christensen. I think the origin story for this is he was snowed in in a blizzard in Chicago one winter and sat down for like two weeks or whatever and cranked this out and changed the workload numbers. So you could download software or whatever. And then Woz also used Usenet before web, right? So we got that set up now. Usenet is as old as me. So the mini-tale was this sort of computer appliance that the French government ships, which makes the iMac look super not-appliancy.  And it was truly old and wanted a keyboard too. And it was computer-y, but it was also very, you know, like you just go to the store and buy it and it just hooked up to the phone. And you could play chess and check your stocks and get travel directions and it had like a yellow pages kind of thing. But hidden inside of all that was the first sort of real-time chat, right? Oh, and it's been up and running for 30 years. They're finally on an e-commission right now. I can't think of a website I've made that's lasted more than three years, right? And then we finally get DNS in 1983 by a couple of posts, right? And then 1984 with Mac. And so this list of stuff is mostly infrastructural achievements and sort of free and open source even if they weren't called that then. There's some commercial products in there. But those commercial products, you know, again this isn't an attack on capitalism. These things still change the world, right? Regardless of the fact that Apple made a metric clock ton of money from the Mac and the Apple II, they changed the world. And then we get the GCC from Stallman and another foot joke. And the GCC lays the foundation for x-ray planets later. And the squabble and the remaining planets. So in 1987, what is Carlo? Love the pearl. So Larry Wall ships pearl, writes the first bit of pearl code. And then he has to keep writing more pearl code because he can't read the original stuff. And then hole six is right around the corner. Is anyone on IRC right now? Not too many, but we all use... Everyone uses IRC in their day-to-day emergencies, I guess. So we get IRC in 1988. And then the ARPANET finally, you know, makes like their Catholic and pulls out and then all the other pieces finally... We finally get a true internet, right? It's not owned by the military. The enter is finally true.  What did I eat, Tim? I mean, I felt quite happy. What have you been up to? ARPDEX train protocol. I made that. ARPDEX markup language? I made that. I mean, it was based on the... I don't know what the S is. What's the SMS to you? Standard generalized markup on the web. I invented all the things. He did them all at the same time because what is a web browser without a web server? And we get Linux in 91 and then Matt ships Ruby 095 and a good 17 years later, we are one version higher. But using Ruby versioning, that's like 30 versions higher. So we're kind of in the wiki 95 and a few minutes later, we get Wikipedia and think about our lives without Wikipedia, right? Like the SOPA blackout was one thing. We really think about our lives without Wikipedia. Remember what's the Microsoft Incarnate? And then it's wacky Austrian guy with a funny voice ships rails and that springcast that shows you how you make a blog in 15 minutes changed my life. I was literally the night before I was about to start a PhD project to solve that springcast and pull a plug on everything and we're all here because of it, right? Well, except that most of us are here for the rails. So it's 2012 and I think about in my life I think about what the hell have I done and the answer is probably soundly not much. I have made a whole lot of websites for other people mostly for terrible ideas.  So 2012, I don't have a job. I was at engineering until the end of 2011 and this is my year of big projects. I had three big things. I don't really focus on this stuff but I'm a hard-run organizational and I'll probably fall off the wagon and take a contract job or two because nest egg was the one I so did but as much as possible I'm not working for anyone else I'm just building these things and I think these things are important if anyone wants to talk about them offline I'll work in an up-step mode and I think they have the potential to transform both of them and that's what matters to me more than anyone else. I really love baseball. Ken Burns made this baseball documentary called Baseball and I've watched it several times and there's this one part of it this other guy is quoting this other guy and Horace Mann said be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for a commandant and I think that was a lot. A lot, a lot. It keeps me up at night, sincerely.   Whatever that thing is, I'm sure as soon as I started talking about you know, transforming culture making the world a better place you started either hatching those old ideas of yours or you thought of new ones. They're all very bright people and I don't have all the answers to them I have very few answers about very few things and I don't care about the things that you care about but you've got something in your brain right now, I'm sure and I want you to do those things stop wasting our effort on things that don't matter I look around this room and I see a lot of courage and that gives me strength you give each other strength and I don't want you to squander your potential I'm Shane Becker I know your time is incredibly precious in here and you will never get back so I appreciate you allowing me to do that.


Hey friends today, we're hanging out at Epcot and Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind officially opened today So I wanted to come out and ride it and show you guys how you join a virtual queue or how you purchase lightning lanes And just have a beautiful Epcot kind of day any hoos Let's go do this. I Brought with me today my universe of energy patch from the costumes from the old attraction where Guardians of the Galaxy is And I brought it with me as kind of a little like lucky charm in joining the virtual queues So hopefully we'll see how it goes. I already have a lightning lane to ride Guardians of the Galaxy So we're definitely riding it, but I'm going to try to join the 1 p.m. Boarding group. I Want to give you guys a quick rundown on how the virtual queues and the lightning lanes work The virtual queues have two different distribution times one at 7 a.m One at 1 p.m. If you want to buy a lightning lane You have to be a resort guest to get it at 7 a.m If not you can buy a lightning lane at 9 a.m Once you get in the park and it's really hard to get both a Lightning lane in the morning and a 7 a.m. Boarding group So be prepared to make a choice like if you're going to go for 7 a.m And you are a resort guest you have to decide whether you're going for a lightning lane Or if you're going for the boarding groups because with the virtual queues because they're going to sell out so fast But you can get a lightning lane at 7 a.m Or even at 9 a.m When you walk in the park and still join the boarding groups at 1 o'clock Which is what we are going to attempt to do today Looks like they're selling Guardians of the Galaxy cosmic rerun merch inside the creation shop today Along with inside treasures of Xandar so that's good to know that it's not all just inside treasures of Xandar Now I know that the line to actually get into the gift shop at the attraction is probably over an hour wait It's really good to know that they're selling the merch in two different spots We definitely want to check that out I hear they're selling low key scepter and that's one thing I just need to get like I need to get low key scepter So we're gonna ride the ride first We're gonna head on over there first and then we're gonna see about the merch and then time it for 1 o'clock So we can try to join the virtual queue and I'm gonna do it on video like I'm gonna set my phone down set My camera down and try to join the virtual queue in real time to show you guys Here is the line to actually get the merchandise the wonders of Xandar shop isn't open yet And the only place that you can get the merch is actually here at creations and looks like it's just about an hour wait They said Rumor has it I can is actually back if you remember I can is a robot that used to patrol around tomorrow In the magic kingdom and I hear he's back out for the opening of the wonders of Xandar And I'm excited to see him because he's a little star key Wow take a look at this You look great Oh Continue your you're wonderful amazing beautiful out of this world Yes, yes, yes It was exceptional I Is I can was hysterical I loved it so cool now we're actually gonna use our lightning lane We're gonna go through I'm wearing my galactic star cruiser magic band and then once we get off the ride I'm gonna show you guys the different virtual queue offerings and like I said We're gonna do the 1 p.m. Boarding group like live on camera One thing that I noticed a lot of people are just kind of waiting over here for their virtual Queue return time and it's not the best spot to actually come and just relax There's no shade at all. They actually have these little umbrellas right here But look they're actually all taken up because like that's the only shade that you'll get it is very very hot out I wish they had a little bit of coverage somewhere, but I'm really not seeing anything And I'm joining up with my friends Beth and Mike villains and vice Are you guys ready for Guardians of the Galaxy? Yeah, yeah, I know it's so excited, right? It's gonna be a fun day Opening day. We're making history today They knew they needed us they knew they needed us Tapping tap tap tap look at that Now giving you guys the warning here lots of spoilers ahead from our world to yours. We're gonna show everything The lightning lane brings you right up to the pre-show area right here And like I said, it was no wait and it doesn't look like there's a wait for the virtual queue side either So that's all that's like good news because if you join the virtual queue, you don't want to wait in line Citizens of Epcot, does anyone know what they call themselves? I Looks like there's a little bit of a line as soon as you get out of the pre-show and this is it right here That's not too bad at all. I thought it was gonna be such longer lines. So you think Mike, right? I thought so too I'm actually really hoping that we get everybody wants to rule the world that was my favorite song to ride with now You do get an choice of six different songs not a choice a random selection and Everyone's got their favorite. So let me know which one is your favorite I'll put a pin comment with all of the songs on the playlist so you guys can choose Here it comes our chariot.   It just goes with the turn and I love it But I am so excited and I hope we get to do it again Like we're gonna try for that one o'clock boarding group fingers crossed. I think we can do it. I believe I believe If you guys want to join a virtual queue you go into your my Disney experience app You select a virtual queue you join virtual queue And then you just keep on hitting the refresh button until it's one o'clock the refresh button is down here below And that's all you got to do just keep on hitting refresh refresh until it's that moment I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna get it because I feel like I always I'm not good at the one o'clock boarding groups I'm not good at any of the boarding groups and I've done this before at Rise of the Resistance I remember when I first went to the park for Rise of the Resistance it'd be like 6 a.m I'm at Hollywood Studios. I'd walk in the park and I'd go to get it and then I wouldn't Secure a boarding group and then I would just leave and go home and go back to bed That was my life and I've done that many occasions. So at least you could do it here. I Don't know when I should do now some people use it where you can actually get the second counter But I'm just gonna do it off of my clock in the top there and just keep on hitting refresh As it gets closer It's gonna keep on doing I'm gonna start doing it now like I'm gonna do it like right now and just keep doing it It might take a while I'll cut right to the point where it happens, so we'll find out One oh no done. Whoo. I got it That's the way look at that boarding group 175 oh Guardians of the Galaxy Look at that. They're full already. They just made an announcement that they're full. Holy moly. Holy moly Look at the groups here. Everyone's like yes. I got it. We got it. Yeah That's crazy isn't it Wow How crazy is that my heart was pounding like it was like going like crazy It's a very tense moment and I got boarding group 70 or 175 I got boarding group 175 right now. They're boarding group 79 to 98 So it's a 280 minute wait, but I got it I got it and like I can't believe the loudspeaker came on immediately afterwards and was just like they're gone for the day They're gone. It's done. So that's crazy. What a moment The anxiety though It's a struggle Now that we've gotten our 1 p.m. Boarding group secured I think it's time to hop in line and see some of the new Guardians of the Galaxy cosmic rerun merchandise I don't know if the store or the shop at the attraction opened up yet, but might as well hop in line here It doesn't look too long at this point. I bet you will probably get in there within like 20 minutes Well the way to actually get into creations was honestly only 10 minutes and it looks like they have everything And it is way in the afternoon like it's like almost 2 o'clock. So I'm shocked like nothing is sold out They have two different sides They have this side over here and then they have everything over on that side and this side I think we're gonna start with because there's less people over here and oh wow, there's a lot of stuff I see already that I love look at this Loki scepter with the mind stone in it. That's $119 the power storm the power stone orb That's $99 the ether. I think they have every single one of them actually They do they have every single and fun infinity stone. That is so nifty a nice Star Lord jacket Oh, this this actually this is like really nice. The material is very good. I don't know how much this is though Oh 99 99 Take a look at this they have some patches down here for like the Guardians of the galaxy and then Down here they have an I am group one, but nothing beats the universe of energy I feel like I need to get this patch just so I can have it matching. How awesome is that that? I knew to bring this patch with me today The patches themselves are only 999, so I think I'm definitely gonna get it I'm gonna get it my hat's a little crooked, but I have to now you actually get six stones Really? Which is only available through the continent you can't get it any other way Wow You can buy the stones on their own, but not the soul that is so crazy So I just found out that all of the infinity stones are actually powering something there They're interchangeable kind of like something at galaxy's edge like low key staff you can switch out the stones in there, too What right now we have the mind stone, but you could easily put the space stone inside of it You could put and it changes colors So it will change some of the effects that you see as well as the sounds and the vibrations Wow And if you buy the gauntlet then you get all the infinity stones Including the soul stone, which is the only way you can get that one. I feel like I might get the gauntlet You sold me So that is really cool So that's what you have to do you have to get the gauntlet it comes with all of the stones And it's a hundred dollars and you can choose between Iron man or Thanos's one I think I would go with the original gauntlet. You know what I mean the gold one and that's so amazing Like I didn't know they were interchangeable. It's kind of a big game changer It's like adding a little bit of Star Wars lightsaber lore into Epcotians Epcot Terrans I kind of really love this guardians light up sign though hundred and fifty dollars for this that is so wicked cool Man, I would love to hang that up in my house and then they have tons of different home goods here They have some coffee mug some coasters. Look at the coasters right here But I just keep on thinking about that light up sign that is so cool-looking and Then of course they have the guardians of the galaxy cosmic rewind annual pass holder Opening day shirt, so it has the tape for 527 2022, which is today that one's a cool one This is just for annual pass holders. They also have another dated one that's available for everybody I don't know if I like the gray one, but at least I like the cassette tape and Then here is the guardians of the galaxy cosmic rewind short This is just a regular black one. I kind of like this one a little bit better like these ones are nice I don't know how much it is too. Oh wait. Here's a price tag 3699. Look at that Well, as you can see lots of cool merchandise. I love what they're doing with the infinity stones I think that's such a cool concept and I didn't know anything about that until just now I also like that light up sign, but it's a hundred fifty dollars and I don't want to carry it around with me It comes in a gigantic big box So fingers crossed that they're gonna still be in stock when I get to come here and just kind of walk around and Enjoy and then that way I can take it out to the car and stuff But now I think we're gonna actually head to space I think we're gonna go to space 220 and eat at the lounge and kind of just relax until it's time for our boarding group It says it's only like 80 minutes away And I couldn't think of a better place to go to kind of just kill some time then back up to space before we go To space like isn't that crazy? So we're gonna go from space right to space and like I said as soon as we get done eating here It'll probably be time for us to go ride our second turn at Guardians of the Galaxy for the day. I'm excited This has been a space-filled fun day. I Love space 220 so much. It's all about the theming in here. It's the atmosphere just sitting down floating in space It's so crazy. I love it. And like I said kind of fits in perfect with what we're doing today Welcome aboard this elevator In just a few moments, you'll be on your way up to space 220 aboard this entire space station Enjoy the ride. Is this everybody's first ship up to space 220? You're riding aboard the Mark 5 Skelevator the latest in space elevator design and technology Today Look there's spaceship Earth Actually back up in space. I told you guys we were coming to here for the lounge So we don't actually have to get the prefix meal We can order things all of cards and drinks too. And one of the things I've really been wanting to try is the chicken and waffles So we're gonna look at the menu.  Hey The world is your oyster Exactly It's really cool. My drink comes with a little space ice cream and I'm gonna try it first I'm gonna try the space ice cream It's funny because it's like Dehydrated I think that's what they do with it. I'm gonna bite it It's good It's definitely strange. I wonder if I just leave it in there or soak it in the alcohol That might make it a little bit better. There we go. I'm gonna dunk it like this I'm gonna rehydrate my food while I dehydrate and drink the alcohol Guys now we're gonna go from space ice cream to Space chicken and waffles and this looks so good. Doesn't it? Holy moly I love the slaw and the sauce. Oh, and then we got some more coming in some cauliflower And also, I think we've got the calamari The calamari. Got a buffet going here. I know I like it Also, I don't think I talked about my drink, but the drink is actually good the big the tang I do like it a lot. It's got a good mixture to it I definitely think you have to mix it a little bit more Because I did sip right off the top after having ice cream sandwich and all I got was the The tequila I think so mix it around a little bit We're gonna cut right on in here I'm gonna cut right down the center It's like the perfect bite a little bit of everything on one bite.   I like it It's so funny because I really didn't think I was gonna like the cauliflower Like I was so hesitant and I had it before like cauliflower itself It's like something I would like but it's like the breading and I think if they have any sauce on it That's why I'm so nervous, but it was great It was just perfect the way it is and I highly recommend the chicken and waffle Like I like a lot of the food on the lounge menu probably better than the dinner menu like Like this is actually really really good Well our time and space has come to an end so we need to embark back down to Epcot and then Transport to another like space setting like isn't that crazy? Yeah, like it's crazy Now that we're all done with space through 20. I want to point out I don't know if you guys noticed but I did a little hat change I ran into some friends and they brought me a nice little fedora So I decided to wear it a little bit because I love it so much It's a nightmare before christmas one and it's from the parks I think they said it was from disneyland paris But I wanted to put it out so I was wearing it space through 20 And I was like I wonder if anyone's gonna notice my hat changed without me telling them Like you know what I mean? I wanted to do it and it was fun and now Let's kind of see how much longer our uh boarding group is Looks like they are boarding groups 135 to 151 we are 175 so an estimated 95 minutes I am grouped I like how they have that on the top there so 95 more minutes not too shabby I'm really shocked and happy with how this day turned out. I thought it was going to be chaos I didn't come early early in the morning because I knew I had that lightning lane and uh, I kind of liked it I came in just slow and steady and it's been really calm and relaxing And just like that they called our boarding group. So it's time to go ride again. I'm so excited I hope we get a different song like I mean, I think everybody wants to get all the songs And I'm pretty sure I got them all either between cast member Family and friends previews the preview that I had and now I think I successfully had all of them And my favorite is still uh, everybody wants to rule the world. I think it's just such a great song and it fits perfectly Just look at all the groups of people just waiting around for their group to get called Just casually waiting and waiting Gives me the rise of the resistance feelings. This is how the virtual queue is now. I feel like this is Uh, probably on par with rise of the resistance. I mean remy's rata 2 adventure is nothing compared to this and uh rise So, I mean holy moly. There's a lot of people over here I know that there's a lot of people that talk about whether or not Guardians of the galaxy belong in ebcot, but I have to say like the idea of space I feel like it's always been an ebcot if you look at spaceship birth Once you actually get done with the ride or the last scene of spaceship birth is you're in space looking down on earth So like I'm very excited like that there is space theming and everything like that And I think it's a fun ride ebcot needed a roller coaster Just as I was about to open up it looks like they opened Just as I was about to actually get ready to go ride. It looks like they opened up treasures of zandar So I think we're gonna hop in line to check it out Take a look at this treasures of zandar Greetings Wow They even have little yandu displays over here. Look at this I love it in here a little bit more. I think it's just a little bit funner This is really cool. Most of the merchandise is the stuff that I already saw it like I showed you But it just looks better in here So much for your delight. Please feel free to look around Thank you kind of gives me the back to the future vibes and he agrees Oh, I like that. Wow Yeah, that is so awesome. That's a cool little back. Thank you so much One of the things I didn't see over in creations was this little fleece throw here That's kind of cool guardians of the galaxy and then also the little fanny pack I like this and I like this strap too. I actually ah man I am a fanny pack enthusiast. Oh, they even have a little pinball game. What I didn't see this There's a lot of great things in here. Oh, this is too cool This is 1499. Wait, how much is the tape? What is this? Oh, this is sticky notes Guardians of the galaxy sticky notes funny So that is really awesome. I wasn't expecting the shop to open up and then it did well So that's really I'm glad that we waited around now. It's time to actually go and ride. We're gonna ride again It definitely looks like the virtual queue line got a little bit longer Guardians of the gods Looks like it's backed up a little bit more here. We're kind of at a standstill We are at a cosmic rewind standstill It looks like they're only loading one side and this one is just kind of sitting over here.   I think we're talking rock Have you not been paying attention? It's just a finger of speech drafts That was so cool. I love riding this ride like it is so amazing now It's not like my favorite ride because of uh, you know, basically nostalgia and just history But as it comes to like my favorite new ride, it's got to be that one like it really is I like it better than I like flight of passage I like it better than rise of the resistance Like it's so much like it's it's just so smooth and I love the music And it was fun to ride the front and the back me personally I think I like the back a little bit better Maybe I like the back a little bit better because I think you get to see more You know what I mean? You're not rushing the screen sections and you get to see the story kind of like Like going on and I like it and plus you get a longer launch back I feel like but let me know what you guys would rather front or back either way It's awesome.  I've been here all day and uh, yeah So I hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time. Bye


Many precious artifacts have been recovered within Egypt over the years. Many ancient Egyptian tombs found intact, untouched for millennia, still containing the valuable items left for their kings with the intention of their beloved pharaoh's use in their passage to the afterlife. And with the mountains of gold and glistening jewels which have captured the attention and the hearts of those who have explored these ancient archives, a lot of the most astounding relics go largely unnoticed. The solar boat could be seen as a particularly good example of this mass overlooking of the most interesting of things. At the foot of the Great Pyramid, once beneath several multi-tonne, precisely placed blocks of limestone lay the Khufu Ship, a full-sized ancient Egyptian vessel sealed into a pit over 4,000 years ago. Why is more not heard regarding this astonishing find? Strongly believed to have been built for Khufu, King Cheops, who is the second pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty of the Old Kingdom of Egypt. The ship is now preserved in the Giza Solar Boat Museum, built at the site in 1985. It is completely dedicated to the preservation of the boat, possessing state-of-the-art preservation technologies. Khufu Ship is one of the oldest, largest, and best preserved vessels from antiquity. It measures 44 meters long and 6 meters wide. It is also acknowledged as the world's oldest intact ship, and has been described by all in the know as a masterpiece of woodcraft. It could sail today if put into water. However, what is clearly the most amazing fact regarding the solar ship, the vessel was never intended to sail on water. The solar boat was built to sail through the air. It was built largely of Lebanon's cedar planking in the shell first construction technique, using unpegged tenons of Christ's thorn. The ship was built with a flat bottom composed of several planks, but no actual keel, with the planks and frames lashed together with half a grass. The boat was found complete, but in pieces across the lair's floor, laid in a logically disassembled order beneath the pyramid. Subsequently reconstructed from the 1224 pieces which were laid out in order over 45 years prior. It took several years for the boat to be painstakingly reassembled, primarily by the Egyptian Department of Antiquity's chief restorer, Ahmed Yusuf Mustafa. Before reconstructing the boat, he had to gain enough experience on ancient Egyptian boat building. He studied the reliefs carved on walls and tombs, and many of the little wooden models of ships and boats found in tombs. Ahmed also visited the Nile boatyards of old Cairo and Mahadi, and went to Alexandria, where wooden river boats were still being made. It is now believed to have been known as a solar barge, a ritual vessel to carry the king with the sun god Ra across the heavens. However, it bears some of the signs of having been used, a fact which has baffled many researchers, due to the ship's only purpose being that of floating in the sky. It is possible that the ship was either a funerary barge used to carry the king's embalmed body from Memphis to Giza, or even that Khufu himself used it as a pilgrimage ship to visit holy places, and that it was buried for him to use in the afterlife. But burning questions arise from such conclusions. Firstly, how would the ship fly? Secondly, if the ship was indeed intended to be used in King Khufu's afterlife, why was it resting in pieces beneath the pyramid? And why did it show wear from use within the king's life? Did this ship somehow once possess the power of flight? Did ancient Egyptians? We have been covering a lot recently in regards to the compelling evidence left by the ancient Egyptians, revealing their advanced ability to traverse most of the earth prior to Columbus. Is the solar ship a piece of this puzzle? Kamal El Malak, who somehow predicted the existence of the ship and has been attributed with its discovery in 1954 through his extensive personal research of the area over 14 years, initially found another pit also at the foot of the Great Pyramid. Unfortunately, it seems this layer had been robbed shortly before he found it. Archaeologists and Egyptologists alike rejected his claims of some sort of ship having been within this empty cavern, yet when the other pit was found, which did indeed contain a ship, his prior claim was vindicated. How did Kamal know? He would later claim that he believed something rather special was stolen from that first cavern. Could it have been the thing which made the ship work? Regardless of this other cavern's lost contents, the solar boat is certainly an amazing thing in its own right. There exists a smorgasbord of imaginative theories pertaining to the original construction of many ancient sites found all over earth. Egypt's Giza Plateau being the melting pot and often the site of initiation for many an astute researcher. A realization of not only the megalithic anomalies, but also the academic ignorance. As we have previously mentioned, a discovery first shared here upon our channel, enormous granite stones exposed on the east side of Chiyab's, has not only revealed the size of the original blocks, but the extensive erosion upon them. This fact is a highly controversial piece of evidence. The stones, which are clearly more modern casing stones, conceal what were already highly eroded blocks masterfully covered later on in their lives. It confirms our claim that they were a conservation effort, vindicating our claims of immense age and revealing academia's ignorance to not only be deliberate, but possibly conspiratorial. As technology has advanced, it has allowed for many theories to be tested on computer programs by testing real-world tensions and stresses, allowing us to weed out the ideas that would have been simply impossible. The most interesting outcome of this so far is undoubtedly the theories surrounding cracks in the weight-bearing blocks in the Grand Gallery. Computer simulation has shown that these blocks easily withstand the weight above. So to have cracked at some time in history, a substantial additional weight was added. And although many of these same academics are now convinced that this was some form of counterweight, we know that these enormous, presumed weight-bearing blocks are not the only ones to be found within the structures. These enormous stones have rendered many theories regarding the original build as incomplete. However, there exists a theory which seemingly fits not only for the placement of the casing stones, but also the mysterious semi-crushed Grand Gallery. Kufu Ship, a vessel we have covered in the past, found masterfully dismantled and placed in order of its construction at the base of the Grand Pyramid, has been found to possess some intriguing features. Author and researcher, Yatsvan Sorovs, puts forward this highly compelling hypothesis concerning the many unusual characteristics of the Kufu Ship, and indeed their connection to the movement and placement of the casing stones which we see today. This theory involves the flooding of the Nile to accomplish these placements. This would explain the unimaginably immense weight that the pyramids clearly once experienced, and the cracks within the gallery blocks. Yatsvan goes into detail explaining that much of the boat could have been repaired and replaced at ease, and most interestingly, that it could be deliberately flooded at will. Even recognizing and explaining their unusual docking stations found all along the shores of Sakura. Did the Kufu Ship really have something to do with the conservation stones found upon the Great Monuments? We find the evidence to suggest such highly compelling. There are many unusual artifacts that can now be thankfully found within countless private collections all over the world, all of them currently unexplained by modern science. Stones made from pure oxygen, metal objects created in a zero-G environment, unexplained glass cups, slabs and tools, the list grows, and our next artifact of interest could have even once resided within the legendary city of Atlantis. Forty-seven pieces of a mysterious alloy many have attributed to a metal once known as Orichalcum. A metal, many say, was only ever found within the once highly advanced city of Atlantis. Discovered within a shipwreck off the coast of Sicily, they were found during an expedition to Iraq, believed to be over 2,600 years old. The ship was previously explored in 2015, when underwater archaeologists found 39 ingots of another mysterious metal, the details of which not yet released to the public. This trip, however, yielded an ancient jar, two Corinthian helmets, and the forty-seven lumps of ancient Orichalcum, said to have been smelted upon the fabled island of Atlantis. Plato specifically described this rare metal as having been mined there. He even described a temple dedicated to Poseidon, having an entire pillar made from Orichalcum. Interestingly, after the discovery in 2005, officials began to conceal the true identity of this mysterious metal, attributing other metals such as copper and gold found at the site as Orichalcum. News Corp. Australia also reported that tradition had it that Orichalcum was made of copper, gold, and silver, this statement having no historical accuracy whatsoever. Furthermore, the metal found by the shipwreck team was said to have matched the ancient descriptions of Orichalcum. Are they really surviving artifacts from the lost city of Atlantis? They are undoubtedly incredible ancient artifacts, and compelling evidence to support the past existence of a highly advanced civilization that once flourished here upon our planet. What exactly is Orichalcum, and why is it mentioned within so many ancient texts pertaining to the past existence of Atlantis? And why are the dive team and the subsequent researchers of their finds so convinced of the alloy's identity we find the discovery highly compelling? Most people assume that only modern man had mastered the skill of flight, the slow development of technology and advancements in manufacturing techniques, allowing us to make more and more precise components, enabling exhaustive trial and error until flight was accomplished. However, there exists a series of documents written in the world's earliest language, which not only detail the construction of such flying machines, but even documents the test flights of these ancient flying crafts. The Mahabharata, the Ramayama, and the Puranas are just a few of these ancient Indian texts written in Sanskrit, which detail these flight tests. The texts, in fact, give surprisingly detailed accounts of these ancient airships, also known as vimanas. Detailed descriptions of the ship's construction are also given, with ancient wording which has since been translated into such phrases as graphite rod, copper coils, crystal indicator, stable angles, among many others. The texts also include details on anti-gravity, invisibility, photography, weapons, and interplanetary travel. For example, the following excerpt describes the propulsion and movement of the Vimana. Strong and durable must the body of the Vimana be made, like a great flying bird of light material. Inside, one must put the mercury engine with its iron-heating apparatus underneath. By means of the power latent in the mercury, which sets the driving whirlwind in motion, a man sitting inside may travel a great distance in the sky. The movements of the Vimana are such that it can vertically ascend, vertically descend, move slanting forwards and backwards. With the help of the machines, human beings can fly in the air and heavenly beings can come down to Earth. Additionally, the following example is from one of the texts which demonstrates the power that these ships possessed. Gurkha, flying in his swift and powerful Vimana, hurled against the three cities of the Varishnis and Andahakas, a single projectile charged with all the power of the universe. An incandescent column of smoke and fire, as brilliant as ten thousand suns, rose in all its splendor. It was the unknown weapon, the iron thunderbolt, a gigantic messenger of death, which reduced to ashes the entire race of the Varishnis and Andahakas. The corpses were so burnt that they were no longer recognizable, hair and fingernails fell out, pottery broke without cause, foodstuffs were poisoned. To escape, the warriors threw themselves in streams to wash themselves and their equipment. It is speculated that the original writers of those texts were from an ancient civilization. They are also argued to have actually recorded real events which occurred between 15,000 and 26,000 years ago. The remnants of an ancient civilization with weapons similar to that of a nuclear warhead that existed in Pakistan and India over 15,000 years ago. The texts were originally passed down orally from generation to generation and were finally written down and preserved by Indian priests. Although debunking efforts have been experienced, the sheer antiquity of the scripts this information is found upon has left such explanations severely lacking. For instance, the academically accepted theory being that the texts are merely from Indian mythology written between 300 BCE and 300 CE. This clearly in denial of the evidence which suggests they are far older, however, evidence that the same such fields would usually embrace, yet when this means a conceding of such facts, they chose to ignore said evidence in favor of shaky alternatives. The texts are available for anyone to read. We implore you to investigate them yourselves for an insight into our very distant past.


We're on the new section of Highway 97 in the middle of Lake Country between Oyama and Windfield and we're celebrating brand new highway, 9 kilometers, $77.9 million on time and on budget. We inherit the highway that we can fix up as a recreational corridor with a long 6 kilometers of lake trail that is now freed up with a municipal road instead of a fast paced highway. It has the ability to actually provide for transportation but it also has that component in there for education by looking at some of the past and it goes like I was saying it was back a lot further for 7,000 years and some of these things have been in the cupboard through the building of this road and being able to preserve that and actually bring that back to life is very educational. The partnership between the federal government, the provincial government and of course the district of Lake Country to make sure that we deliver this project so we can improve safety and improve speech for our travelers here in the city of Okinawa.


the Oklahoma gubernatorial race is really fascinating because it is unusually competitive and Something just happened a viral moment that I think is going to Assist the Democrat here even further Joy Hofmeister now she during a debate is going to drop a fact on Governor Kevin Stitt and as you're going to see he's gonna be completely incredulous and refused to believe it But as you're going to see when we come back here what she's saying is completely factual. That's why So let's talk about the facts. The fact is The rates of violent crime are higher in Oklahoma on your watch than in New York and California. That's a fact Well, we'll have that fact checked by the frontier superintendent It's also a fact that Do you believe we have higher crime than New York or California? That's what she just said Safety and security is my top priority and it will be as governor The look on his face there was sheer panic because he didn't know how to respond. He just had to say that's not true Do you believe that? Well, I mean whether or not people believe it that doesn't necessarily mean that it's not true and unfortunately for him It is true what she said was absolutely factual as Yahoo News reports John Roman a senior fellow at NORC at the University of Chicago told Yahoo News that Hofmeister's numbers were accurate citing FBI data Roman said that Oklahoma is 12th in violence per 100,000 residents and 7th in property crime per 100,000 residents California is similar but lower for each and New York is much safer and below the national averages in both property and Violence overall putting violent crime rates and property rates together Oklahoma is on the list of the top 10 highest crime rate states Roman noted that the national incident-based reporting system Now being used by the FBI is new and that California and New York only provided estimates for 2021 which were factored in the data However, Roman added that the old system prior to 2021 shows the same general trend in recent years California and Oklahoma are similar with Oklahoma a little higher on property crimes and New York much lower on Both now that last paragraph there is important because that is the basis for Stitz team to reject this data saying oh well You know, these are just Estimates and the data is incomplete. Yeah, but the trend was the same before 2021. So you still are Wrong, so you've got to take the L But they won't take the L and that's because this makes Kevin Stitt look very bad So if you look at some of his campaign ads and we're not gonna get to them But overall his campaign ads are Oklahoma was in a really bad place Then I became the governor and everything is so much better. We no longer have this budget crisis I increased the pay of cops and teachers, which is something that he brags about which is pretty Surprising for a Republican and so he wants to make it seem as if everything is copacetic in the state right now So this doesn't bode well for that narrative. Now in the event Hofmeister were the incumbent and Stitt was the challenger here. Would he be bringing up this statistic? Absolutely, he'd be running as this tough-on-crime Republican because this is what they do The problem is that whether or not they promote a tough-on-crime message is going to hinge on Their position and whether or not it politically benefits them regardless of the actual data within their state, right? Now in that video, it seems like Hofmeister was more tough on crime than Stitt But she doesn't really have a platform that leads me to believe that she is going to be one of these tough-on-crime Sort of centrist Democrats, but if you go to Stitt's page, what's really interesting is that he isn't running on being tough-on-crime Rather, he's claiming that he is smart-on-crime He actually brags about commuting the sentences of nonviolent drug offenders and increased funding for treatment to decrease the recidivism rate for low-level drug offenders too and he's done other things with regard to criminal justice reform that are objectively good that I think that he should brag about but if you were to flip this if a Democrat listed those things on Their platform saying that they're smart-on-crime rather than being tough-on-crime and they're Commuting the sentences of low-level drug offenses then we all know what the narrative would be You want to let criminals out yada yada yada, but because it's a Republican here even if crime rates are high Well, that's not the narrative So Republicans will only run as being tough-on-crime and fear-monger about the crime rate if they can get some political points for it And they do that because like it or not it is a smart strategy because it works hysteria and fear-mongering over crime has been a consistent galvanizer for Independence in particular, but especially Republicans and even you know It helps win over some normie Democrats more suburban Democratic voters So that's why they do it but just understand that if a Republican is talking about being tough-on-crime You know, you should really look at the data because odds are they're not telling you the full story, right? They're showing you some anecdotes, but that doesn't necessarily represent the macro of what's happening in that said state now I don't want to give you this picture that state is some sort of a moderate because he is by no means a moderate despite bragging about teacher pay and some criminal justice reform this individual is a far-right extremist in fact He signed one of the most harshest if not the harshest Abortion bans into law with absolutely no exceptions for rape or incest But there are apparently exceptions for the life of the mother or if a fetus is not viable Then they can apparently remove that via abortion. Although There's a lot of legal gray area there and as we've seen with other states That doesn't necessarily make doctors feel any safer about doing the procedure needed to you know Evacuate a fetus if it's not viable because they don't want to be prosecuted Either way, this is a really fascinating race because it's competitive as I mentioned at the start of this video And if you look at public opinion polls on average, they are neck and neck So stitt is leading by an average of just one point and Hofmeister is leading according to some polls, but on average They are statistically tied and this could go either way in the state of Oklahoma So really fascinating dynamic here Oklahoma wasn't necessarily a state that I thought would be interesting to watch But either way here. What's unfolding is unusual and it just goes to show you that when it comes to these tough on crime Republicans, they're only going to trot out that message if it is politically beneficial But if their state that they're in control of is particularly high when it comes to crime They're not gonna bring that up. They're just gonna talk about different issues. So you kind of know When they're going to use this if it works for them and in this instance, it doesn't work for Kevin stitt In fact, it'd be horrible for him to bring up the crime rates in the state of Oklahoma because he's the one in charge Right, but if he were the challenger again, he would absolutely be putting that front and center So either way pretty interesting Republicans are fake who knew


Today I'm gonna be showing you guys how you can easily make a thousand dollars a month buying and selling you shoes. Let's go Hit the streets All right, so we just got to heart and I know we got the heat case over here We might have to take a quick peek but either way We got to take it over to the use section because we need to find some deals. What do we have here now? They got some Jordan 13's this is pretty solid. What's the price tag on this thing right here? Mmm 180 bucks for a size 14. I gotta check the market on that one got some ones I know we always want to look at some more trendy sneakers as well Jordan ones Jordan fours different things like that that way, you know, it's gonna be hot in the market people Love to see stuff like that when they're purchasing 750 for a size 14. This is crazy, bro What do you guys think about the black heads? Honestly? I'm still blown by when it comes to the pricing on this shoe Insane, I still got mine. So I don't really need to get those And the price is just not really hitting right there what I need 590 this is cool. Oh What do we got here? 220 that's not bad We got right here size 13 180 bucks. Oh Oh, here we go. All right, so they got the glow fours right here And these things are looking clean got a little sock land a little dirt on the bottom nothing too crazy But the upper the upper is looking good. So we got to check out see if they got these look Oh, come on. Let's go here. See what they got. Yo I'm sure need to get all right, and I also need to see do you guys have like any other? Beaters I was looking over here. I mean we can run through this wall a little bit more But I saw a couple other things as well. I saw y'all had some 72 tans Some solid prices on these But I need something that's like, you know how you got the shoes that like they come through the store Yeah, and then you just don't want to put them on the shelf because they're that dirty. Yeah, I think I got it I'm looking for I think I got okay.  I promise you it's gonna work Like there's gonna be times where there's gonna be stores that just got random shoes sitting collecting dust They don't really see any value in it and you can come in and find something good So hopefully today we can find something but typically at most resale shops like this. There's always something in the back So I think we're looking good today another one that I found while I was waiting They got the doom phone posit pro bra 200 bucks. I might be out here coming some cakes Coming back right what you got? Oh, he got some shoes over here. All right We got a few beaters here. It took me a little bit to find them, but okay. We got a few beaters here We got obviously got the teals. Yeah, I mean close eat that Got the Neapolitan See this one talking about you see all that dirt on the shoe like on the bottom in the back It's creased up a little bit, but the upper is in really good condition. I know it may not seem like it But this is actually This is a solid one right here a little dirt on there and then last but not least for you. I found these 13's Dornbeck of twelves. Oh Bro, is this the price on it? Yeah 180 bucks Can you do better on this probably? Yeah, okay? We're gonna see what we can do bro. There is like nasty stuff on the shoe. Look at this This is kind of fell All right, I think I might have to grab these for those that don't know this is this is this might be the one Honestly both of these this We're gonna do some negotiating. I'll be right back at you guys in a second a few minutes later All right you guys so I just got the shoes. I'm gonna show you what I got when we get to the house I'm excited. We got some work to do All right, so before we start talking about numbers and a potential price projections We got to make sure we properly clean these sneakers first to see what the true projected values are So for those that don't know pink miracles one of my favorite sneaker cleaners to use and I've been using them for many a years now As you guys have seen on the channel and I always get a lot of people asking me which shoe cleaner Do I use so this right here is the pink miracle shoe cleaner? And this is the disinfectant spray that they make as well I always spray this on the inside of my shoes after I get done cleaning them up Just so I can make sure everything is sanitary and good to go And if you guys are interested in getting some of this for yourself I made sure I got a discount code for you as well So use the discount code DNA show and that'll get you guys 10% off of all your orders the link will be down below in the description Now let's go ahead and get to cleaning this shoe. So the bottom of these honestly isn't too bad We definitely need to do a little bit of scrubbing I'm gonna hit this actually with the toothbrush so we can get a little bit of those detail cleaning in and then besides that We got to take care of this upper because these things are wild Now you can see that there's a little bit of yellowing on both ends on the back and the front But you can still see the logos and the designs with the dog right here and the baseball on the back end with the heel But these could easily get put in the icebox and get that translucent look back But for me personally I still think we can get away with it right now And I made videos in the past showing you guys how to get yellowing out of sneakers So if you need any help with that, I'll link that down below in the description as well But for the most part the outsoles are looking good So let's go ahead and take it to the upper and get these things cleaned up Okay, these things are looking really good right now I am so excited to show you guys the differences between the before and afters because Yeah, these are coming out nice So I'm gonna let these dry and see if I need to make any final touches now Let's go ahead and clean the Jordan 4 so we can see what those look like as well So like I said earlier the upper is really nice on this shoe That's why I picked these in particular All I got to do is clean the bottoms and then pick out some of the sock length on the sock liner and spray I'm down and disinfecting and clean the insole a little bit, but for the most part these shouldn't take too much work All right, so the outsoles are looking good like I said earlier the upper looks straight now We just need to fix the laces a little bit to give it that dead stock look fill in the shoe Make sure there's no creasing right there. Okay, so now we need to get these lint balls out of here So what we're gonna do is hit this real quick All right, so the sides are already looking good We've got a little bit right here in the back end with the crack But we can scrape this out with our nail and it shouldn't be too much issue Just getting that out But this already looks way better by having that fixed right there. We get these things laced up and We'll see what the final results are looking like so these shoes are definitely looking really good The inside two pairs right here are gonna be the clean pairs and then the dirty pairs are on the outside And hopefully some of these images will show you guys the before and afters when it comes to the 12s Just some images from the upper on here How dusty and dirty it was and how nice it came out at the end after cleaning them up and then cleaning the Outsoles just getting some of that excess dirt off of the toe and the back end of the sneaker again We talked about the yellowing that's something I could go after by fixing But honestly, I plan on throwing these into my rotation So I truly don't care about the yellowing when it comes to this and on the green glow for you can see mainly on the Upper didn't need too much work just laced them up got them cleaned up right there The sock liner got that cleaned up as well And then on the outsoles did some good scrubbing on there and got those cleaned up and just looking a little bit nicer So when I look at these two shoes compared to other used pairs that are available on goat Here's a comparable pair of the dorm back or 12. They got around 450 bucks now Those have the original box these don't but I got these for a hundred and fifty dollars So that's a three hundred dollars spread now I can say these aren't as nice as that pair in the picture But who's to say if that pair is listed at 450 I couldn't easily list these at 350 bucks and potentially get a buyer So for this scenario, we're gonna say that we sold the shoe at 350 bucks and after fees next thing You know we got 300 bucks in total just to play a worst-case scenario when it's all said and done getting the sneaker for 150 bucks and then reselling it You still have an opportunity to double your money and profit a hundred and fifty dollars off this pair of shoes that they didn't even care About and this is definitely another prime example of some of the things we talk about in the hobby to hustle program Have a full eight-week course that'll teach you everything you need to know about the insides and outs of the shoe game And then we have monthly live meetups as well where the community gets together and I help you guys with any questions or answers You guys may need or we just catch up and have a good time There's also monthly challenges in the community where I give away free shoes literally every single month And there's a bunch of group chats where we keep each other informed and up-to-date on all the latest greatest releases So if you want to join the community consider hitting the link down below in the description and I'll see you guys on the inside But we got to talk about the glow fours because the margins were a little bit different on those now these in particular I got for a hundred and eighty dollars and somebody's asking for a very similar pair with the og box And I have the og box around three hundred and twenty five dollars. So a hundred eighty three twenty five Let's say we quick sell the sneaker somewhere around three hundred bucks or we could even play it safer and say two hundred and eighty bucks Either way that's still a hundred to a hundred and twenty five dollar margin just off a profit off of a sneaker like this Now it's not as big as the dorm-breaker 12 But the more work you got to put into a sneaker typically the more profit you can make that's another prime example as well But either way if you're looking to get dirty and do the hustle and do the grind and go meet the people and do what you got to do These are the type of things that can help you make a couple hundred bucks every single day as you continue to stack and pile more Sneakers next thing you know you could easily be making a thousand dollars a month with no problem And one of the reasons why I say this is this is kind of how I got into the shoe game I had to buy some you shoes and yes I got new sneakers at the same time But if you want to get a dope shoe and have it in your collection That's gonna hold a good value and know that you can resell it later and still make money or Even way later down the line and use that for a down payment for a property Which again we talk about in the hobby to hustle program all the time either way These are things that'll help you take your shoe game to a whole another level or turn that hobby into a full-time hustle So if this video was helpful make sure you guys hit that subscribe button and I'll see you guys in another one The only choice I like to make what I'm aware today. I was made for it


We're out here watching some of the demolition work that's taking place at the Riverside Mobile Home Park. It's a grant funded project that the county has been working on for the last couple of years. After the 2013 floods, the bank has started to erode. When this project first came to our attention, it originally started with the city of Fountain. It was very much a life safety issue because even though it's open space over here now, there was an entire row of occupied mobile homes. That as that bank was eroding and this, you know, road that's out here that's not really there anymore, as that started marching forward, the concern was if we had another major event, we could lose an occupied mobile home unit off that cliff. And so from a life safety perspective, that's been one of our biggest priority projects from the floods. So using some federal grant money, we purchased the mobile home park and we've relocated all of the residents out. There's a second project that's tied into the relocation efforts that we're doing. And that is to redefine the channel down there to basically try to keep the water away from the base of the cliff. But when you have events like we had in 2013 and again in 2015, those 100 year events, the amount of water that can come through this corner, there's nothing we can really do from an engineering standpoint that would protect this area and make it safe. So yes, eventually there will probably be more erosion on the cliff. We have not determined final plans, but the intended use will be as a trailhead for the Christian open space, which is everything north and east of us. It's actually a good relief because these projects take a lot of time. There's a lot of involvement with Army Corps permitting environmental work, you know, the entire gamut that we're running through and getting the people relocated has always been that number one focus. So it's a much easier feeling to see this go. I mean, we're looking at destruction behind me, but a year ago this was an occupied mobile home park. And so we'll be happy when we get this phase done and we get it cleaned up and we have a nice park open space.


Well, thank you so much, Diane, Chancellor Dirks, deans, faculty, Jonathan, thank you for that great address, alumni, friends, parents, significant others, and insignificant others, members of the great class of 2015. As you can see, the economy has worn me down. We are in a recovery.  But there are two pieces of good news I want to share with you. First, college graduates are doing far better than they did last year. And secondly, in a few minutes you're going to be a graduate of the best public university in the world. And with your degree, you will be on the winning side of the great divide. Now, that great divide is one of the largest challenges we confront as a society. And it's not just in the United States, but it's in almost all other countries as well. The United States, along with other rich countries, is heading back to the wealth concentrations, last seen in the gilded age of the 19th century. Now, the American economy today is about twice as large as it was 30 years ago. But the median income has barely risen. Now, when I say median income, that's different from average, right? I mean, Shaquille O'Neal, that basketball player and I have an average height of six foot two. Can you get my drift? People at the top bring up the average. So that's why we need to look at the median, half above, half below. And median incomes have barely increased, adjusted for inflation over the past 35 years. Most of the income and wealth has gone to the top. Now when I say this, sometimes I'm accused of being a class warrior. I am not a class warrior. I'm a class warrior. There's a difference, two letters, but it's more than that. I worry about a nation, a society growing too divided with a middle class that is shrinking. An economy cannot be sustained as an economy when the vast middle class and the poor don't have enough purchasing power to buy what the economy can produce. A democracy cannot be sustained when the rich have enough political purchasing power to buy what elected officials can produce. Now why this fundamental change? What has occurred? Now partly it is due to, over the last 35 years, something we call globalization. Globalization is one of those words to have gone directly from obscurity to meaninglessness without any intervening period of coherence. But I'm talking when I say globalization, I mean the integration of not only product markets but also direct investments and also to some extent immigration, everything else that brings the world together. Gone forever are the good manufacturing jobs for Americans without much education. But partly it's also due to labor replacing technologies, technologies that have replaced bank tellers and telephone operators and elevator operators and service station attendants and soon many professional services. The problem is not the number of jobs. Jobs are returning. The problem is that the wages of most of the jobs that are returning are lower than the jobs that were lost during the Great Recession. At the same time Americans are segregating by income into different towns and cities more than we've ever segregated before. Being rich in America essentially means not having to come across anybody who's not. Moreover, widening inequality and climate change together are conspiring all over the world to impose hardship where supplies of food and water are growing scarce, where the poor live in low-lying areas that are prone to flooding or in homes most likely damaged by extreme weather. You see how these issues are absolutely inextricably related to one another. The challenge is daunting but we have no choice but to reverse these trends. And they will be reversed either through reforms or populist insurrection. Problem is the more prudent direction. Now three things I'd like you to carry away with you. A recent study showed that a week after graduating only 2% of graduates remembered anything their commencement speaker said. So I'm going to be very pointed about these three things, all right? And if I come across any one of you, certainly within the next two months, I'm going to ask you what these three things were. Number one, first, in this era of widening inequality, always make sure to respect those who don't have the education or the status you do. A college degree is not a license for arrogance. In fact, respect everybody you work with regardless of their station. My first job 50 years ago was working in the Senate office of Robert F. Kennedy. It sounds glamorous but my job was not glamorous. I ran his signature machine. You know what that is? There's a little pen at the end of a long wooden handle and I would push a little button and make sure that all of the letters to constituents were lined up exactly right so that the pen and his signature were appropriate and lined up nicely. It was a fine job but after three months I was going crazy.  Will you keep it in this room, please, what I'm about to tell you? Well I snuck in at night and on the same typewriter as the Selectric we then had typewriters that the secretarial pool then used, I wrote letters on Robert F. Kennedy stationery to my friends. And they were letters like, dear Mr. Dworkin, congratulations on having the largest nose in New York state. And then I used the signature machine, Robert F. Kennedy. My friends still have this. I see them on their walls framed. But then one day, one day I was after months and months of this, I was standing in the Senate hallway in the hallway of the office building there and the elevator doors opened and out came from the elevator Senator Robert F. Kennedy surrounded by his aides looking you know like he was doing, and he was doing very important work and I was, I had not seen him, I had not even laid eyes on him, I saw his signature but I had not actually seen the Senator and I was so excited. And he looked at me and he said, how are you doing, Bob? He knew my name. I couldn't believe it. He had asked me a question. I couldn't even summon the answer out of my throat. I was so overwhelmed. But I'll tell you something, from that day on, if he had asked me to work his signature machine for the next three years, I would have done it. Respect, respect. Number two, I've talked to you about these trends, widening inequality and the interaction between widening inequality and climate change. I hope that you will help, you will help reverse these trends. In some way, in some way, thank you, you will. Now you will be in positions to exercise leadership. You don't have to be a secretary of some cabinet department or president of the United States in order to exercise leadership. You can exercise leadership in very modest ways. It is the art and the practice of getting many people around you to focus on problems that they would rather not focus on. They prefer to deny that the problems exist, or they prefer to escape from the problems or blame others for the problems or find relief in cynicism that says nothing can be changed. The role of a leader is to overcome these escape mechanisms. These work avoidance mechanisms, and you, every one of you, will be in a position to do that. Third and finally, know the difference between tenacity and martyrdom. In other words, be tenacious, but don't burn yourself out. If you're going to change the world for the better, even a little bit for the better, you're going to need patience. It is not easy to do. You're going to be setbacks. Change doesn't come easily. You'll need to accept what you cannot change, at least right away, and dedicate yourself again and again to changing what you cannot accept. So members of the great class of 2015, go forth and do your best. Find the afflicted, even if that means occasionally afflicting the comfortable. And use every opportunity you get to renew and re-energize yourself. May your work be filled with meaning. May your days be filled with purpose. And may your lives be filled with joy. Thank you.

The feature bought for this video is Transformers War for Cybertron Earthrise Battlemaster Sound Barrier. I'm taking a quick look at the packaging. You've got some great artwork showing Sound Barrier right there. Sound Barrier is packaged in Robot Mode with a blast effect. On the back of the packaging, you've got Sound Barrier in Robot Mode and in Ramp Mode. Yes, Sound Barrier transforms into a Ramp. Somebody really lost the Transformer Alt Mode Lottery. I am so excited. It's Alt Mode Assignment Day. And my name's Sound Barrier, so you know I'm going to get a really cool Alt Mode like a jet or a rocket. I cannot wait. Autobots, this is Optimus Prime. Report for Alt Mode Assignments. Hound, you shall be a military vehicle. Who are, Prime? Crosshairs, you shall be a battle van. That's outstanding, Optimus Prime. Hoist, you shall be a tow vehicle. Excellent choice, Optimus Prime. Sound Barrier, you shall be a Ramp.  A Ramp? Oh, and you'll also be able to turn into a shield to keep us from getting shot while you take the impact of the weaponry. What the f***? So without further ado, let's get Sound Barrier out of the packaging and check out this ADA compliant Autobot. And welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews. Now once you get Sound Barrier all opened and out of the packaging, you'll see he comes with a sheet of instructions. These are those very well illustrated Earthrise Siege instructions. But with this guy, trust me, you're not going to need those at all. He also comes with this little blast effect.  That makes sense because he transforms into a shield, so he's going to get some impact. Now taking a look at Sound Barrier himself, he's not a bad looking robot. He's got great molded detail all the way around. And I really dig the colors. He looks like, he looks like Ultra Magnus. Face sculpt is great. That is an awesome face sculpt, head sculpt. I mean, the figure looks good. Articulation, I can't tell if the head moves or not. I just can't get my fingernail in there. So I'm not sure on that one. The arms can go up and down, but they're going to smack into that really big backpack behind him. And the legs are on a ball joint as well, but there is not much movement at all once again because of the really big backpack.  I've seen a lot of videos where he just flops right over, but mine has no problem standing. Now let's get him transformed into ramp mode and pay attention to this.  That'll tab in right behind him. So do that on both sides. Then you're going to take this section, fold it over and it'll tab or the fetal tab right there. And there's the ramp. That is ramp mode. And you can take the little blast effect here and you can put it right on that peg. So there's some impact. There's a peg up here and a peg right there. And that's pretty much it. Ramp mode is translucent blue with some silver chrome looking details. Now ramp mode can be utilized with some of the other Earthrise figures. I'm going to use Ironworks, for example, since he's got ramps all over him anyway. What you're doing is you're looking for this connector port right here that'll match up to sound barrier. Just clip that in. Easier said than done. And now you have an extension of the ramp so any other MicroMaster can drive up and be on the base. Actually, it doesn't really lay flat. He's got a lot of robot underneath, but you understand where I'm coming from with this. Man, that's on there tight. Now you can also turn sound barriers ramp into a shield. Just flip him over and right here on the chest get a fingernail in and flip this peg down. So there you go. And then we'll take an Autobot. I've got Wheeljack handy and we'll put the shield peg that right into his forearm. And now Wheeljack is well armored up for any incoming Decepticon fire. Boom! See, that is so awesome. And now for some quick size comparisons. Here is War for Cybertron Earthrise sound barrier with War for Cybertron Siege Battlemaster fire drive. War for Cybertron Siege Battlemaster Smashdown. And War for Cybertron Earthrise MicroMaster Daddy O. Transformers War for Cybertron Earthrise sound barrier is a little different.  And I think this figure is going to add a lot of playability to some of the future Earthrise figures coming down the line. So there you go guys. War for Cybertron Earthrise sound barrier. So does a War for Cybertron Earthrise sound barrier belong in your collection? Your mileage may vary with this guy. On one hand, he's a new mold. He's a new figure, but he transforms into a ramp or a shield. But granted, there's a lot of the play sets and the figures that have all that ramp interactivity with them. So picking one or two of these guys up may be worth it to add to the playability of those play sets. So this one, this one's on you. Now be very, very wary. I have heard and seen pictures of the hip joints, the little ball sockets holding the legs on, snapping right off. So I'm really not going to fool with mine at all because I don't want the guy to break. So there you go. Now guys, I want to thank you for stopping by and checking out my video. Don't forget to like. Don't forget to subscribe. And don't forget to hit that bell icon to get notified when I upload new videos. I do have quite a few more Earthrise figures to get in front of this camera. Once again, guys, this is Patriot Prime signing out. Hoorah!


hey strangers i have been only wearing workout clothes whether i just worked out or i'm about to work out or not even thinking about working out that day so today i really want to wear something that's not that this is something cute don't really have anywhere to go it's thursday today and i haven't had any self-tape requests so i need to desperately self submit and i also need to update acting clips on my actors access and casting networks and frontier just work whatever casting websites i haven't updated also i'm working on memorizing and because i've realized something very very obvious which is for my auditions being off book helps me so much and of course it can be different for everybody but i need to be so good at memorizing that i can spend 10% of the time i have on memorizing and then the other 90 filming and making that audition really good because right now i spend a big chunk of time memorizing like it's almost like second thought oh now i have to film it because i take maybe 20 minutes to record my self-tape where i take like two hours to memorize um i mean depending on the script but so i want to get really good at that i'm already regretting wanting to get into real clothes because i just want to be comfortable do i feel crazy but the same time i want to wear this i like want to wear different jeans something else i wore this shirt without the bottom i just didn't seem right it was like too much what am i doing what is this what is this so i ended up wearing that outfit yesterday like the entire day up until dinner and then i decided to get more comfy that outfit was a lot more comfortable than i thought it was gonna be but i just bought new workout gear so um i want to wear this tonight and it has a good pocket so i still want to look cute should i wear these or should i wear these i already own these but i wanted another pair uh oh i got the wrong ones these are so short i thought these were the longer ones how did i end up in like an outfit that i always wear okay whatever it's not it's not gonna happen today maybe i'll change again later but we have a voiceover audition today my agent sent me a voiceover audition request last night so since i'm already in the closet i might as well film it or record my audition and send it over it's not due till monday but i don't have much to do today i don't have my office job today i'm just working on acting stuff have a book to read so come on i should also go get coffee because i just want to get out of the apartment haven't really been going anywhere lately so maybe i'll take my book that i'm reading to a park and read it and then work on my memorizing also at the park to get out of this house the voiceover audition's pretty short so um i need i need to use this do you mind if i just turn off the camera really quick so i can record my audition is that okay as i was sending my voiceover audition i got another audition request from my agency for nancy haze in san francisco and it is a commercial audition where i just have to answer some questions do my slate and then tell them about a hobby that i have and i haven't been skating in a while so what i'm thinking i'm gonna go skate by a while i just mean because i was not here for christmas times wait or maybe not because it's for a mom role and i don't know that like roller skating is so mom-ish it might make me feel too young i don't think i'm gonna do that because it would make me feel too young what should i do i almost never do this but i just emailed my agent my on-camera agent to see what she thought i told her do you think it would read too young if i shared that i roller skate as my hobby or i can talk about my mini plans that i paint because i have some you can hardly see them right there this is one of my hobbies especially for people who i know are plant people in my lives that i love i like to paint them little house plants and um i often give these away for birthdays and christmas i could also talk about this my other idea since i have time and they just sent this out i saw the email uh like maybe five minutes after they send it out my other thought is i can film both talking about both hobbies and then my agent can decide which one they want to send i don't know if that's something that they like to do but i mean it's options right they can send both if they want to or they can just choose the one that they like best after i'm done with this audition i'm gonna treat myself to some coffee because one i deserve it and two i feel like if i get trapped into my computer and start editing and just really get like into it i'm not gonna leave the house today and it's friday it's friday i need to i need to get out of the house i need to treat myself to some coffee decaf let's grab some props for this audition a commercial audition for what seems like a outdoorsy sporty company so that's the reason why i am wearing this and i can keep this on i need to set up my full body shot and my slate i'm gonna go ahead and do my full body shot first because last time i did this i was having a problem doing it so look at the instructions again in these instructions so you guys know if you shoot vertically we won't submit your video so shoot horizontally when you're filming an audition okay so here's my idea i'm gonna talk about my hobby of painting these little plants i have some real plants right here so i can say i like to turn you know my house plants into paintings or my friends house plants into paintings i think i'm gonna intro my skating here i'll be like as for my hobby and then i'll do it outside i just think it's fun right they're watching a bunch of auditions might as well one of them be really fun outside not just with the backdrop so that's what we're gonna do i need to i need to get it together i keep thinking about my anniversary with my with my boyfriend and um i keep getting so emotional because i'm so happy but i don't this is a happy commercial i can't be crying i mean happy crying is good but i don't i don't know that that's what they're looking for jesus christ come on let's get a take i've had like 10 takes probably okay i'm gonna wait for it to upload and then we can go get coffee they sent me this audition request at 12 56 p.m and it is 203 p.m took me an hour high five i don't think i updated you on what my agent said my agent said that sharing the roller skating one was fine but i could choose whatever i wanted to share so i did both time to get coffee and go read at a park then the book i'm reading is i am not your perfect mexican daughter by erica ele sanchez and this book is hilarious it has me cracking up um so it's it's like a pretty sad story but it's written really funny and right now i feel like i'm going to tell you guys some of these quotes because like throughout me reading this which hopefully i'll finish it soon i'm only on the third chapter and the mom has asked the daughter to help her make the flower tortillas and the the daughter's like i don't know how to make these can you help me like teach me how to do these and she's like you'll figure it out it's common sense it's common sense to know when the tortillas the flower tortillas are done i read an entire chapter enjoying the and that quote was so funny to me that knowing when a tortilla is ready is common sense because that's such a mexican mom thing to say and then in that same chapter there was a line about um what kind of woman are you going to be if you can't even make a tortilla that was good i'm glad i came outside and coffee and did some reading i got another email for another voice over audition so i'm going to record that right now but it's friday night i should be doing something fun maybe i'll come up with something fun to do tonight who knows but i i need to relax for a little bit thank you so much for watching my vlogs like you probably don't even know me in real life and if you do you're
