Why is going on guys welcome back to the channel and I appreciate you being here today I am back with another destiny video and today I bring you five things destiny 3 needs now I know what you are thinking yes destiny 2 is in a shitty state at the minute Why would you care about a third game in a franchise? Well according to many reports including one from Jason Shrier who is a non great source of Early Logitech info he said how destiny 3 is already in the works and this was reported back in January Even way before this Nolan North spoke about how Bungie has already got ideas in place for destiny 3 He confirmed this at the Supernova Expo in Australia and this was 10 months ago So it at least makes sense at destiny 3 if not already in the works Bungie do have a certain set ideas in place for the game Today I bring you five things in my opinion a game needs to succeed So let's get into it and first up and this is my opinion Well, it might get a few people but hurt but it is what it is But from what we've learned from the most recent destiny is we need new leadership on the game Which offers more transparency in the direction they plan on taking this new game now don't get me wrong guys Bungie at the moment they are more transparent than I ever remember them being but they haven't always been this way We never saw road maps of changes coming. We never got instant responses to changes we wanted They never really asked us what we wanted in terms of what's happened recently with them keeping nightful exclusive loot rewards Secret until we unlock them in game. This is a Bungie I can deal with a Transparent Bungie one that communicates. Well, like I said, it hasn't always been like this What we are seeing now in my opinion is coming out of desperation to save the franchise They know the game and franchise is in a real bad place the worst in my opinion destiny has ever been in I mean for sure times within destiny one did get hard content did get dry But in my opinion never to this state also what don't help is the vast array of new titles coming out taking over people's lives Games such as fortnight the new daddy of the game and industry a lot of people have moved on and happy about it A lot of people also state they will never return and you can understand this The wait for changes has been in the opinions of many way too long and even said changes They wanted still have no date fixed to them and other changes have just been completely ignored And this rubs off on us as a community looking for that spark destiny was offered a spark Which too many has burned out Bungie are now realizing this and it's in my opinion because of this and the state of the game There are being this transparent With a new game we need new transparency with what's going on going forward and we need is from the get-go We need it before the games even released if this means we need new leadership then so beat Okay, so next up what needs to happen with the third game is they need to completely forget about the previous title Destiny 2 has like I've just said being a major letdown from the get-go Changes are being incorporated to make the game better But in Bungie creating a third game they need to literally take nothing from this second game in terms of all it offered I mean I tweeted out the other day asking people if there's any single element of destiny to people want to see in destiny 3 and the response Was crazy literally 95% of people said not a single thing and a few others mentioned things so basic It just got to show how bad the game has become things as basic as the mantle and the fast travel If these are two of the only things you want to see taken over from a sequel You know shit has hit the pan so my suggestion here is for Bungie if you're going to take notes from a previous game Please make that previous game destiny one. This is where it was at and I'm just not we're going to move on to the weapon system Now the weapon system in Destiny 1 we had not a single problem with a primary a second and a heavy This worked for every scenario the game offered PvE and PvP wise For some odd reason Bungie changed the weapon system for the second game and also scrapped when the major things People loved about the game and when the major grinds behind it and that was random rules on weapons What were they thinking the weapon system in a loot issue and needs to be on point for sure? So I suggest with the third game they completely scrap the BS Which was D2's weapon system and go back and work with the D1 weapon system and what it offered and maybe evolve upon that Not change its layout not remove random rules to make everything simple. We don't want that We want complexity. We want a weapon system like how D1s was and I'm pretty sure now within destiny 2 99% of us would prefer the D1 weapon system of what D2 offers. There's no doubt about it But what do you think about this let me know down below Okay, so next up I want there to be a fresh start going into a new game I don't mind there being three classes as in Wall or Contra and Titan But I want new subclasses not some reskin failed limited versions of previous subclasses I mean destiny one we eventually got a new subclass for each class hammers for titans storm quarrel for warlocks and night stalker for hunters For destiny 2 got the same three Okay, a few changes were made to dawn blade up strider sentinel, but overall it just wasn't enough With a new game we expect new things also new enemies. Yes, it's fine. I'll see an old enemy races return But there's so much more to offer within the destiny universe. It's unbelievable. Love folks know this the best There's a gigantic opportunity here met with minimal effort in my opinion Also factions and vendors yet again the same old shit Nothing new here at all when you think about it when people said before it's released destiny 2 is going to be more like a destiny 1.5 it's now more clear than ever how collect these people were and it's a true shame But with a new game we expect a fresh start that is fine I think we all accepted that it's a fair point both for us and newcomers to the game We all start on an equal level most people will not bother about loot being brought over because we like the grind In getting said loot from destiny 1 the same grind though is not a part of destiny 2 So now we feel as though we've been truly rubbed the fresh start was for us to basically farm the same shit Nothing new all the exotics couple of decent looking armors But nothing in my opinion truly new or unique having a fresh basis to start with build better relations with us Bring all the stuff back at later dates, but let us experience new things first Destiny 2 is all old the best exotics were from destiny 1 also classes are basically from destiny 1 The weapons designs are from destiny 1 all the factions are from destiny 1 enemies all from destiny 1 Is there anything new which you can think yeah, I like that. Let's keep it and work with it I don't think there is if there was the changes being made wouldn't be reverting the game back to D1 It's as simple as that So having a completely fresh start would be epic as long as with this fresh start we get fresh content Okay, and lastly the engine Jesus the games engine Destiny 2's game engines literally so old it's unbelievable basically a spin-off version of the game engine using the halo games I mean come on. I'm gonna call asset systems and scalability from the 2016 handmade con right here Making content for destiny was a complete nightmare any change to a map or weapon could take more than six hours to compile Slow in the content pipeline for destiny to a cruel This was due to the fact destiny's engine a spin-off of the engine for halo reach was built based on two completely bone-headed Design pillars they wanted developers to be able to compile their content and console hardware To have the final look at the game in front of them as they develop This was a good idea in the age of halo combat evolved since that game did look different when compiled in PC dev environment And on the oldie Xbox because of their different architecture and shaders It's completely irrelevant now since modern consoles are very similar to PCs And you can basically simulate any differences in hardware in your dev environment They wanted to cram the requirements of one in an engine that could handle fast compiling for the ps3 Yes, you heard that right destiny's engine was is fucked because it was built to be compatible with the ps3 They did make some improvements to the engine around May of 2016 and we're working on further improvements at the time This means that destiny to is being built using this engine It's also very unclear how much improvements to the engine will actually help the destiny to content pipeline as they did not Will not change the core principle of the engine or how it works to accommodate one and two in other words It's still built on a pile of garbage, and I mean people this explains so so much this engine is beyond limited I mean if rumors are true it takes up to eight hours to load maps and weapons to edit I mean damn. How do they do it? I mean it makes sense that the original engine was built to run games on ps3 and Xbox 360 as these were the Consoles that destiny one was released on this did mean that future consoles were going to suffer if you remember how hard back the Xbox one and ps4 versions of destiny one were because of the old systems You remember how crazy it was and to think they built the second game on the same engine bubbles my mind It really just goes to show the BS they tried pulling with us their community their customers This was obviously the cheaper option for them But as many people expected it has failed them taking this route and in my opinion, this is good Hopefully they will learn moving forward. So yeah guys destiny three needs one hundred percent to be built an entire new engine No excuses no BS new engine or nothing and people these are five things in my opinion Destiny three needs I mean I could go on and mention things like 60 frames per second on console Etc. Etc. But I mean if this isn't standard procedure, then it's doing from the start and that not guys I am out. Thanks as always for stopping by Hope you enjoyed the video if you didn't even like really does help me out and hopefully guys I will see you on that next one


Hey everyone, welcome to Higan Irruthill. So we have here at here list. This is specifically for new players coming in during global launch. So today in a few minutes, it's gonna be out. So I'd like to put this out because again, there are certain decisions that you would want to know before you start building your own team. What are the considerations in choosing when choosing heroes or characters and the pros and cons if you decide to stay with them or not. Okay, so we'll start off with this tier list and let me just move some things around. Okay, so we have here tier S, A, B and C only for tiers I have for you. We'll be starting off with tier C. The bottom tier is C and these characters, I'm not recommending you guys to invest in them. Not one bit because their ceiling is going to be tier C. Hopefully not forever. They might be improved in the future, but definitely right now there is no ceiling for them. So we have a few here. Let me just get them out. One is Ume. So Ume definitely for tier C. The other one is Mireya and the other one is Celia, or Celia. Here she is. So Celia is out and the other one is Mommel. So these four do not invest in them in any way or else, you know, you'll be wasting your resources when you do. So that's a quick overview of tier C. Next up is going to be your tier B. Tier B would be some of them would be great in the initial stages, but again, they are just for the initial stages. They won't really take you as far as you want them. So first of all, we'll start with Kodyr here. Again, good with the initial stages. I wouldn't want you to go for her. Go for Roko because Roko is free. You can really take Roko to the mid game even. Don't go for Kodyr, please. The other one is actually Asa, although Asa is actually good for the initial stages. But again, Roko is available. Both of them are healers. So again, they're good, but not as good as Roko. So if possible, don't invest in them. That's why they're in tier B. Next up is Eupharia. So the first version of Eupharia is very good in the early game. Don't get me wrong. She can be serviceable. But again, I find it really hard to invest in her. She has a level up cap for me. There are going to be better hoplites in the future. So might as well. It's a risk if you really use her. She's good. But again, she won't really have a higher ceiling than B in the future. Okay, next up is I'm going to look for Kier. Okay, so Kier here. Physical Shield for team can go up to A. She's a good investment. I think she is tier... No, no. She is SR. If I'm not mistaken. She's a very good investment to start. Can be a good overall support for your team. Again, that is it. She has a higher ceiling up to her max ceiling, which is going to be A. Next up is going to be Queen. So Queen here. Actually, Assassin with good AoE damage, flexible range can go up front, can go up back, but her ceiling caps here. You can actually use her if you really want to. I did use her before when I started CBT's. But eventually I realized that she won't cut it for long. Her kit is... I don't think her kit matches her type as an assassin. So again, her tier is capped at B. Next up, we have Chloar. Chloar is a nice one to start. So good AoE damage. Very good in initial stages as well. I won't lie. I've used her in my CBT's, but again her ceiling caps here. Good AoE damage. Don't get me wrong. Again, ceiling caps here. Next up is going to be Issa. So Issa here also, similar to Chloar in position. Both of them, by the way, are they are of our rarity. So good value if you use them. They're still at tier B. Issa, very nice at movement manipulation. She pulls enemies together and applies debuffs. But again, her cap is actually at B. I don't see her going up to tier B. Next up is a free unit that we're going to be getting, which is... where's the free unit here? Arman. Arman, if you don't have any luck in pulling for Garjans, or especially for Gildan in your rerolls, Arman is serviceable. I don't mind using her, but again, be wary up until when you're going to be investing in her. Good at sharing and dealing damage. She will be your starting Garjans if you don't have any Garjans to bring. So definitely, your ceiling is going to be at tier B. Tier B, these are one of... this is one of the heroes that will improve as the game goes further. Hayoi damage has summons, can go up to tier A. For now, Siamkom is going to require a little bit of build to start. That is why as a beginner, you won't really appreciate Siamkom. Probably in the mid in the late game, Siamkom can go up to tier A. Okay, next up is Hathor. Where's Hathor? Hathor is here. So Hathor here has high damage... high damage for single targets. That's it. The one good thing about her as well is going to be her fire element affinity. So that is it. She's going to be stuck in this tier in tier B. Next up is the last one is going to be Basil. So Basil here, ice element. I think that's the only one thing that prevents him from being a good starting unit. Very good crowd control, goes up in the mid game in the end game. Don't worry, goes up to A eventually. So it just so happens that ice element is actually bad against wind and most of your initial enemies will be of wind type. So Basil stays at B up until the mid game. Take note guys, Siamkom and Basil will go up. This is just only for a beginner or new player tier list so that you will understand on how they will be starting and how they will be progressing. Okay, so we're done with tier B. Next is tier A. So for tier A we have Caesar. Caesar is going to be your best support tank and go up to S definitely in the mid and max potential. Share damage and AOE heals. Okay, Caesar is not your typical tank. A lot of things happening in her kit so that is why she starts at A. So next up is going to be Nuno. Nuno is a best healer so far, can go up to tier S especially she requires a little bit of investment in her kit. So you just have to be patient with her. You can start off with Roko that is what I did. But eventually both Caesar and Nuno will go up to tier S in the mid and late game builds. Okay, next up is going to be Black. So Black here is a range of a lot of damage and attack speed reduction but drops off eventually to tier B. So the risk with using Black right now investing in him he will be dropping off to tier B soon but he's a nice early investment to have. Okay, next up is going to be Fen. Fen is here. Fen is she can be purchased for 50 cents US. She's a nice unit to have in early game very consistent. I didn't have a problem with Fen. Great Pyrranger with range and great and good AOE damage. Very consistent if you want for you to play her in the beginning the mid and the end. So again you can't go wrong with her but her ceiling is going to be at tier A. Next up is going to be Follett. Where's Follett? Okay, Follett is here. So Follett is large AOE damage sadly drops off to tier B. Again a risk in investment but good for the early game drops off to tier B. Again it's really up to you guys if you want to invest investing them in the early game. So I'll leave it at that. Next up is Moe Tessju. Moe Tessju great damage for ranger wind breath mechanic buffs and debuffs. So again she's going to be A up until the max potential of hers is going to be A. Next up is Creamer. Probably one of our best value at SR. So Creamer another great support for SR can go up to S. Healing, burning effect and silence. Very nice to have really. So a great value if you want to invest investing in her on SR as SR in the early game be my guest. But again if you're you know if you want to use a healer a pure healer it's not her she's an all-around support basically is what I'm saying. Again her potential can go up to tier S. Okay next is Liv. Liv here is a nice all-around support. Tax speed reduction that stacks and a little bit of healing. Also for Liv she's not a pure healer she does a little bit of a healing same as Creamer. So they are support units that you will be using. Don't really rely on them for all out healing but they could give you a little bit of healing. Okay so Liv again caps at tier A and the last one is going to be Rita. Rita is a great single damage dealer with long long range increased attack speed for basic attack and burn buffs allies can go up to tier S recently buffed and I've been using her for a while since soft launch and really really happy with her. She's kind of a glass cannon but not that much but again with her basic attack buffed the attack speed and the burn damage there's more reason to use her especially that her potential can go up to S. Okay we're done with tier A next up are the you know the last five I think you see them down below so we'll start off with Roko here. So Roko is a free unit best healer to have to start to start okay so free to start but she eventually drops off to A eventually as her max potential but again you can't go wrong with her in the early stages eventually what I did I transitioned to Nuno. Nuno will eventually can go up to S. Next up is going to be Media. Media is actually also a free unit so free unit to have best AOE and single target caster so far and again if I forgot to mention she's free. She just might drop off to A might I'm not saying that she will but she might will have to test her in the Azur max as I know reach her max potential but again for now she stays at tier A so tier S. Okay so last three would be Iluya. Iluya will have her own banner this upcoming launch so watch out for that so Iluya is going to be what do you call this going to be a good very good unit especially with her recent buff which adds a lifesteal to her kit now she can you know can be a little bit tankier with lifesteal best burst damage she's best dps for a single target so again she can cut through the front line and go to the back that is why you should have her eventually she is going to be good in pvp eventually or actually right now even so next is going to be Gilden. Gilden is here let me just zoom this one okay so Gilden um she will be in a guaranteed SSR banner she will have her own banner she is a top priority for everyone especially for the re-roll especially for free to play best tough tank with taunt high defense what can I say she can tank your front with her alone and have three at the back she is a very very nice unit to have to start it would make your life easier basically if you have her so she is going to be your primary re-roll target and here is Sir Slit um long shot that will get her in the re-roll especially for off banner but we will be getting her banner soon um right after launch so probably save up for that and she has massive damage damage reduction berserker state best hoplite in the game so far so this is our tier list guys I'll give you one last look at this probably pause this at this point and probably build your team from here so now you've heard it from me who you can invest now who can stay with you up until you know their max potential and still have a good use but for now this is your new player tier list so hope this helps you comment in the comment section what do you think of the tier list if I missed or if I should have put somebody in a different tier um please put them down in the comment section again this is just my opinion and we you know I will hear out your opinions if you think that I have misplaced some of the heroes here so thank you guys for staying this far take care stay safe this is the warden and I'm out of here


As you might know, if you subscribe to my channel, I have a large collection of boots, so rotation is an interesting concept. I do have my favourites, my Whites, Parkhursts and Truman's. Those are the ones I reach for more often than not. I include my Grant Stone boots in that batch, and this one, their Mocteau Do Anything Boot, is my favourite boot of this style. Want to see why? G'day, my name is Tech, and welcome to my channel called Bootlossophy. I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands I live and work on, the Wajik people. If you subscribe to my channel, you know I'm increasingly having difficulty in rotating my boots fairly so that they all get equal wear. If you didn't know that, you're not subscribed, so you better just click on that subscribe button down there right now. Yeah, it's true. There are some boots I maybe have worn twice in the last two years, others a little more frequently and maybe once or twice every few months. This pair is amongst my favourites, and I probably put them on at least once a month. This is the Grant Stone Brass Boot, which I bought in October 2021, and you can see what they looked like out of the box up here. I'll also leave an affiliate link to their website in the description below. Since getting them, I mainly wear them when I go on our weekend hikes in the National Forests around Perth, and I have taken them away on a holiday by the coast when I wore them through the limestone cliffs and sandy beaches on long walks out there. While the heels and outsole don't look very damaged, I think that's more due to the fact that I don't wear these on concrete pavements and other hard surfaces, but mainly on sandy and soft muddy dirt tracks. The uppers though have seen the wax layer wear off, and I have recently re-waxed them with some auto-fabric wax bar. They have been through the ringer, and to be honest they don't look too bad for it. I initially reviewed them after six or seven months, where in May 2022, up there, and I thought it might be time to bring them back to you. So this is just a short update. This is Grant Stone's mock-toe style boot called the Brass Boot. A mock-toe is so-called because it copies the style of a moccasin shoe worn by First Nations Americans in their long history on that continent. The stitch along the apron of the vamp and toe box is called the moccasin stitch, and in a real moccasin construction, which stitch together two pieces. The sidewalls which wrap right around and the top of the vamp. In this case, there's only one piece of leather forming the front of the boot and the stitch, which is hand stitch, just gathers and puckers that leather to create that mock-toe effect. So you could say this is a mock mock-toe. This brass boot is in the makeup called Earth, which is a waxy commander or waxed suede leather from English tannery Charles F. Stead. Stead is famous for the high quality splits of suede and, more recently, some really exotic leathers like Southern African kudu and Scandinavian moose. In this case, while other tanneries also make versions of wax suede, Stead are famous for their version called Waxy Commander, that's their name, which is treated and waxed in the tannage as well as in the finishing, so that it's pretty waterproof. Out of the box, the wax covering is quite thick, not as thick and shiny as wax flesh, but getting up there. However, as it is a supple suede, the leather flexes very quickly with wear and the wax wears and scuffs off quickly, revealing the base suede in the creases and folds. In other examples, like in Caswell's Lisbon boot in Snuff Waxy Commander, the underlying base is a reddish colour and when the dark wax wears off, the reddish neck is revealed in a really incredible patina. From time to time though, you may wear your Waxy Commander so hard that some of the waterproofness wears off, but you can always rewax them, as I did to my Grandstone Edward Boots in Tobacco Waxy Commander, which you can see the process up here. Most of you, I'm guessing, would know Grandstone, and in my review, which I linked to earlier, I went into their full details. But for now, some highlights. Founded by Wyatt Gilmore and Josh Lang in 2016 as a web-based, director-consumer manufacturer of quality heritage-style Goodyear-welded boots. Due to his family connections in boot manufacturing, Wyatt worked in a factory in Shaman, China, and when he started Grandstone, commissioned that factory, which he knew so well, to make their boots. Grandstone is based in Michigan, and the boots are shipped there from the factory where they then do final QC checks, warehouse, and ship to customers. Everyone will tell you that Grandstone's manufacturing quality and QC process is crazy good. I have personally bought factory seconds that, on arrival, have stumped me on what exactly the QC issue was that made them reject it. I honestly couldn't see any. I mean, we're talking about being as picky on quality as the real housewives of Beverly Hills are on each other's clothing. Now I said earlier that Wyatt Gilmore and Josh Lang wanted to make quality heritage-style footwear. The construction method most synonymous with those two objectives is the Goodyear-weld form of construction. Check out my in-depth video on Goodyear-welting here, but basically, it involves real stitched soles and not glued or heat-sealed rubber bottoms. A welt is a thin strip of rubber that goes around the boot. The inside edge is stitched to the insoles and uppers, and the outside edge is stitched through to the outsole. In this way, the two stitches go through different layers of the boot, meaning there are no stitch holes going right through from inside to outside, so water-resistant. Also being built that way, when the outsole wears out, your cobbler can undo the stitches that stitch it to the outsole, peel it off, and then glue and stitch a new one on, all without disturbing either the uppers or sometimes even the welt itself. Grandstone builds on this quality method by continuing to use veg-tanned insoles and mid-soles and cork fillers, leather heel counters and leather toe puffs, all natural, breathable, moldable materials that help the boot shape to your feet with time and wear, meaning comfort levels get better and better with wear. Which brings me to how they feel now, nearly three years after I got them. Firstly, I bought these in a size 8D, following the usual mantra of getting a half-size down from my true measured Brannock size. I take the same size 8D in Grandstone's Leo lasted diesel boots. And in this Floyd last, the fit's fine. Some people say the Floyd last, the last is that foot-shaped mold on which this shape boot is actually built. Some say that the Floyd is roomy enough to go down another half. I disagree, I like in a high-walled mock-toe boots, but there is always some room in the toe box because of the high sidewalls. Honestly though, I just do not slip around in these, so they're the right size. The length is fine, and the extra room just means my toes are not crunched up. So my advice is, size only a half down if you're in the D-width. If you have wider feet, I can't advise you on that, but you can contact Grandstone whose customer service and response to emails is really good. Like I said at the beginning, I have worn these at least once a month. To be honest, on some months I wear these at least once a week depending on what I'm doing and where I'm going. At any rate, it means that the pair is amongst my most worn pairs of boots, at least outdoors. How do they feel now? Well the uppers show their suede suppleness, they are very soft on your feet, and the last is shaped in the way that really supports your heels and ankles and gently wraps the waist of your foot and the instep. The width of the ball of the feet have stretched enough that now they give support yet just don't feel restrictive. The rounded toes, not exactly wide, is still wide enough not to squeeze your toes. The hard rubber compound of the proprietary Grandstone lug soles is firm. Even now I can feel hard on hard surfaces like pavements. But on softer grass and sand, it's grippy and sure-footed. The firm leather midsole and thick welt combined with the hard rubber outsole was initially hard to break in. By that I mean it hardly flexed as I walked but in short time it learned to bend with my foot flexes and is now feeling quite supportive underfoot. The arch support, it's not the best despite the steel triple ribbed shack. It's not bad but there is no build up beneath the arch to support your arch and if you have flat feet you may find you need some orthotic insoles. I guess I've been spoilt recently by recent acquisitions of Pacific Northwest boots with your incredible build up arches. The all natural materials though, the leather on cork and leather layers have conformed to the shape of my feet as my weight bore down on them in the last couple of years. Where once it felt like I was walking on hard slab they've really, I don't know, molded to the shape of the bottom of my feet and softened with wear and moisture. What I'm saying is firm, supportive but comfortable, really comfortable. As for QC, okay the surface wax wore off but hey that's not a QC issue and in fact it's a feature. It's expected to happen and reboot collectors demand it to happen. For QC, what can I say? After two years, no issues, nothing, nada. Despite being kicked against rocks and scuffed against tree roots, despite being awash with salt water on the beach, nothing has kinked, nothing has fallen off, not even any loose stitches. I think most people advise that grandstone boots, even these, are not heavy work boots but on this showing I'd be confident wearing them as light work boots, factory floors, workshops, that sort of thing. You'd be fine unless you're on a job site that needs steel toes or sturdier protection from concrete mixers and band saws. So in summary, what do I think of these? I guess I've told you by telling you that I wear this pair a lot amongst my 96 so far pairs of boots. I love them. There's truth in good boots feeling more and more comfortable the more you wear them. Okay, perhaps the arch support is only good but not great but you know many brands are the same. Get a pair of a Thor-Tex or another insole then you're sorted. Quality wise, well put together and keeps up well. As for value, when I bought these there were 298 US dollars. Today they sell for 328 US dollars. That's an increase of 30 dollars after two years time, global inflation and a pandemic wreaking havoc with supply chains and freight costs. 30 bucks increase is not bad. I can see if these are your only pair of outdoor boots that you also use casually, you might be wearing them for three to five times a week maybe. And I can see that in that context from what I've seen that last you probably three or four years before needing a re-sole. Depending on where you are and what you've done, a re-sole may cost you about a hundred to a hundred and fifty I guess. So in three or four years you'd have spent, oh I don't know, four, fifty, five hundred on a pair of boots that will last you another three or four years. So you know 80 bucks a year, that's value. Buying a cheap $200 glued construction boot might last you two years at 100 a year at least. And then there's style because value is not just price or even how long it lasts. Value is also about emotions. I feel good wearing these boots so it's worth it. These look good. I feel good wearing these boots. I feel protected. I feel that I look good. Now that's value to me.

Hey, what's up coach welcome back to my channel now in today's video. I'm going to teach you how to properly pay Contractors that work for you now a contractor is someone that could be an assistant coach. This could be Someone that is a consultant. They could be building your website whatever it is. It doesn't matter All right, and this is a big problem that a lot of coaches ask me about they'll tell me well You know, I have these three assistant coaches. I don't know how to pay them What's the best way of me doing it and 99% of coaches that ever asked me this question? They are always in the mode of paying cash under the table, which is illegal All right, you shouldn't do that or they do Venmo, which I am very against because it's gonna be very difficult at the end of the Year for you as a business owner to write off that expense, right? So this is why you need to legally have your business set up the right way Otherwise, you're gonna be paying way more in taxes than you need to be right and I have a very simple rule to follow All right, if you have someone who's working for you, you have them on a 1099 All right, if you don't know what that is go Google it go figure it out All right, get them on a 1099 and pay them online so you can track every cent All right, and then at the end of the year or quarterly you can write those things off So for example, if you run a camp that makes $100 right and you pay A contractor who would be an assistant coach $20 to be there if you pay them 20 bucks cash Right, you're still paying taxes on $100 right You should be paying taxes on $80 because 20 of those dollars you just gave To the assistant coach so they should be responsible for paying taxes on their end And the only way to do that is if you really legitimize what you do All right, that's all I had to say about this video. There's too many people that do cash under the table or venmo That stuff doesn't work if you're a real business and if you clean that up You will ultimately make way more money All right, if you have that if you have your systems in place if those things are dialed in Um, it's very easy to do if you do it the right way And you know what I've talked to too many coaches over the past month who've done it the wrong way And they owe way more money and taxes than they need to be paying. So if you do this the right way All right, you save money, um on taxes and I think you'll thank me later So that's it for this video. Hope this helps and uh, do things the right way


This way, baby. Good morning. I know that's where we're going Where you going child, where you going? Well, what's cuz today is Tuesday they're open on Wednesdays only Oh, JB wants doughnut. Okay.

So I troubleshoot issues So right now I've been working for about two hours straight, right? Not by an hour and a half straight like straight work Then I'll get when JP gets up or whoever gets up while I'm working. They don't even bother me I'll be working. I may get an email I may get a message from someone I have to stop when I'm doing an answer that right away Then I put the goal back to the season on me. So it's a lot of interruptions So my actual duties that I do I could interrupt it a lot So it's been nice up interruptions, which is why I got up at 4 a.m. To get my work done So that way once like they should get up to start bothering me Meeting work people will get up and start bothering me around 7. I got another hour and it's gonna be interruptions So but the good thing for today coffee, honey I got my scan girl. Oh, sorry.

Um, I Have not stepped into a nail salon in three years one. I'm very particular about who does my nails and two We're in the middle of a pandemic


and from Las Vegas, it's theCUBE. Cover EMC World 2016, brought to you by EMC. Now your host, Dave Vellante. Welcome back to EMC World 2016 everybody. This is theCUBE, this is our seventh year at EMC World. theCUBE goes out to the events, extracts the signal from the noise. It's our pleasure to have Nina Hargis there, the new CMO of EMC, long time marketing exec, at EMC, VC, Nina, it's great to see you again. Thanks so much, great to see you. So I'm here, of course, with Brian Graceley, my co-host. So first of all, Nina, congratulations on the new role, huge role. Following some, filling some big footsteps, you guys have not missed a beat. EMC World's as big as ever. How do you feel? It feels great to me. I know I'm inside it, so maybe that's the way I should feel, but the bottom line is, I think we want each year, for EMC World, not just to be a place where people come and hear about the products they're using every day, which is really important, but they also get ideas for the future and they learn from other customers on how far they can push the envelope and they get inspired to take it to new levels. We really try to focus there. So big numbers, I mean, 10,000 plus. Absolutely. Just the stage is another record stage. A lot of products, which is typical of EMC, and the theme this year is modernized. Talk about that a little bit. Why that theme, why now? So I think maybe two things. I'll take it in two steps. One, I was kind of laughing to myself during part of this year because there was press around would EMC continue to innovate? And we've been working on the products.  We had made big announcements in January and February with VMAX All Flash, kind of following the extreme IO, big, powerful flash market positioning, and we wanted to get Unity out there so we would have All Flash across primary storage. So getting this out now at the show was really important to us, but all the other innovation, you know, we're an innovation engine, you know, one of the words I used, and literally the product line has been refreshed this year since last year's EMC World. So there's something for everyone, you know, and I think it's really important. I mean, that's just who EMC is, you know, we're an innovation engine. Chris Radcliffe called it yesterday in the queue with an embarrassment of riches. Embarrassment of riches. But that's a challenge for you from a marketing standpoint. You have so many people I'm sure knocking at your door, hey, Dean, I want to make this product announcement or that product that I only need some air cover. How do you adjudicate?  You know, it's really funny because when you're doing engineering planning, which is part of my history, you always hope that you have things that have come out in a rational fashion, not everything sort of comes together at once, but in the real world of engineering, sometimes things come together at once. And some of these products that we've been wanting to bring to market, but we want to make sure we brought them out when they were absolutely rock solid, sort of came together at the same time. Our customers were using them. We had them out in really powerful betas. Holding them back made no sense. So, you know, we kind of pulled it all together and we got them out here at EMC World. It's funny, but there are a number of other products we have held back, and you'll see those coming out in the next couple of quarters. Yeah, I did. The first show I attended back in Boston, I think it was 2010, very storage-centric, very, you know, storage-admin-centric. Since then, you know, virtualization's a big part of the show every year. Automation, cloud computing this year. So, a different audience mix. Give us some examples of how you're having to spread out the story and some of the things to, you know, sort of really talk to those different buyers. Yeah, well, I think Joe started talking about the early days of the first Wizards conference. That was really a storage practitioner's show, right? You know, if you're working in the storage arena, this helps you better understand how to use the products, talk to the engineers. We've never wanted to lose that. We've never wanted to lose that and we spend so much time on the technical sessions to make sure that's the case. But some number of years back, we decided that we didn't want people to just come to EMC World to learn more about how to use the storage they were already buying. We wanted this to be the kind of industry event where people come and they learn about the possibilities, not just in storage, but that are transforming IT, that can transform business. And through the Federation, we really do have those technologies that can impact the business in a whole different way. And we've been working pretty hard on these Federation solutions with our Federation family. I think when we bring those forward, even someone who has been focused on storage in the past is very interested in seeing, you know, how does this fit into the bigger world and how do I push the envelope? And, you know, at this point, it's all about faster, more modern IT to speed the business. Yeah, so inspire them, let them go back home and go, hey, did you see that, what that company did? Can we do the same thing? Think a little bit differently. We're doing a lot of peer-to-peer work here where industries are coming together, where peers are willing to share what they're seeing. And healthcare is a great one because there's a lot of sharing in healthcare. And a couple of customers I was talking to last night, said, well, you know, I'm going to go home and think about this differently. I mean, just little things like that, if you can get something like that from an event like this, and so let me go back and explore it, you know, we feel good about that. That's great.  You know, it's made that clear. Sure. And so you kind of, marketing was kind of, you had to walk a fine line there, right? And then VCE, you had many masters to serve, right? Do you feel like the gloves are off now, at least for a period of time until the merger takes place? The merger takes place. Actually, it was three really different experiences, right? You know, a lot of, you know, a lot of putting technologies together in stacks, traditionally was done through services. And there are lots of companies that still do it, the good old fashioned way, they send in lots of services, people who glue it all together and hopefully get it working for you, but now you have a custom solution. A custom solution makes you less nimble. There's a lot of things about it that, you know, aren't goodness. But you know, services is sort of the start of all that. And there's still plenty of places where you need services to intervene and customize workflows, et cetera, for your company. But VCE was a place where we took a different approach. You know, can we bring together these powerful technologies in a stack so that IT people can spend their time not doing what you used to call undifferentiated heavy lifting and focus more on- Still call it that. Still call it that, still that, by the way. And focus on getting more applications out, getting more sensitive to how the business needs to innovate. And VCE was an amazing experience. So there were many masters, but the concept was really simple and customers gravitated toward it. At the beginning, I think the reputation of our brand parents, EMC, Cisco and VMware, maybe got us in the door, but that's not what kept us in the door. And these platforms, you know, this works. These platforms worked and now we're seeing the whole converged infrastructure portfolio. So I think EMC has taken a fundamentally different approach to speeding up and enabling IT, which isn't we'll send you lots of people to glue it together. It's can we sell you bigger building blocks so that you start ahead, you get there faster, you can focus differently. Well, it's interesting because if you think about the early days of converged infrastructure, it was sort of a heavy lift. And now with the digital transformation, customers like, yeah, I don't want to spend time on that IT labor. I want to transform my business for the digital world. And that's really what the modernization theme is all about. It is. I mean, in all honesty, maybe there's no reason to do it the old fashioned way, but there probably aren't many businesses that want to tolerate the time and risk of doing it the old fashioned way. Everything has gotten faster. The expectations of business have gotten faster. So how does IT get faster, right? Whether you're clearly cloud computing has taken off for those companies that are looking at going to the cloud. It's not just the economics of cloud, which often actually aren't a whole lot better at scale, but it's speed. So for IT to be effective, they need to operate at a whole different speed. And this converged infrastructure and solutions that we're building give them again these bigger building blocks so that in fact they get faster, they get sure and they do get new services, new capabilities out for the business a lot faster.  Talk about some of the fun stuff that's going on here. EMC world, okay, one of the things I love about EMC world is we try to convey a lot of deep information. We really do. I mean, some of the sessions are pretty deep. Even on the floor, once you start digging into products. But we try to do it in a way where it's fun, it's entertaining and maybe it becomes more memorable because you see it in a way that sort of sticks. This year at EMC world, we have all kinds of things going on. So we've been talking about sort of the power and the speed of some of the new technologies that allow our customers and partners to do things they had never done before. So if you really look at the world of big data comes to sailing, right? Or big data comes to cycling. These are things that, you know, they step, right? And the demos that you're seeing and the Q-Solutions Expo. Internet of data. Exactly, you know. It's a fun way to present these ideas. We're looking at the avatar display where people were becoming avatars. And the truth is the power of technology behind that that makes it possible. But even when we were talking about healthcare and Michael was talking about how long does it take to map the genome or your personal DNA mapping? These are truly transformative and they're making a difference in people's lives. And I think everyone at EMC wants to believe that what we're working on can change the world. The only way it changes the world is it becomes part of a bigger solution that really does change the world. So even for EMCers who are working on deep technologies, seeing it come to life this way, and we're trying to showcase it more as part of industry solutions or fun solutions like sailing, telemetrics, it really changes it up. But I think it gives us a sense of more purpose, right? What we do matters.  Thanks so much for coming to theCUBE. We're going to look for you. Obviously, VMworld Big Show for EMC always has been. I'll give you the last word, you know. We're excited about the merger with Dell. I think we're eking out little bits of the vision of what we're going to become with Dell, but there's a lot of symmetry there and what we can bring to market. So you're going to be seeing some big things as that merger gets closer. Awesome, well thanks again for coming to theCUBE. Thanks for having us here. This great set and the wonderful guests we have at EMC World and we love the collaboration over the last seven years. Love having you here. I think we go back a long way. All right, keep it right there, everybody. We'll be back with our next guest. This is theCUBE. We're live from the Sands Convention Center in Vegas. Right back. Looking back at the history of Dell, personal.


And it's just little things like that that us like extroverted introverts tend to do so that we can avoid those extra conversations. Or are you an extroverted introvert? Okay, the first thing is that some people drain you while others don't. And that's that you find people both intriguing and exhausting. You love being alone, but you enjoy good company. Number four, your energy levels are closely tied to your environment. And this is a big one. Is that you would rather say what's on your mind and talk about expansive, interesting things or maybe subjects that you're interested in instead of small talk. They'll often mistake you as an extrovert. But what they don't realize that what the people in your life may not realize is that when you're not around those specific people, you're not extroverted at all.


DCU students gathered in protest outside Dalairo today to fight for affordable accommodation. This comes after an increase of 27% in popular student accommodation, Shnoen Square. This is a problem, city-wide and national-wide, which is why we need to start targeting here, We can make as much noise as we want Shnoen Square. They're not going to speak, they're not going to speak. What we need to do is make a legislative change. These people get tax breaks when they're building the accommodation to make it affordable for them, to make it affordable for us.   A 27% increase in accommodation from 7,000 up to 9,000 euro, that's only for nine months. It's a thousand euro a month. That is just ridiculous. So what we want is we want the government to change the legislation so that students are protected. We've got it in other areas of accommodation where you're only allowed to have a 4% increase every two years. Why isn't it the same for students? What the plan is, and you'll have seen it in the last budget, 200 million extra went into capital funding. We've also put in 100 million extra since 2016, 460 million for the Susie ones. And we will continue to fight hard. And I can say to you that you have a minister here at the cabinet table in charge of higher education and I'm fighting for you.


Israel doesn't have a Gen Z problem, it has a morality problem. Nobody starts out as the sort of person who would support a genocidal bombing campaign that murders children by the thousands. It's something you come into gradually over the years, one moral compromise at a time. Again and again over the course of their lifetime, a supporter of Israel is given the choice to either kill off a piece of their conscience or abandon their support for Israel. They are presented with this choice anytime they see Palestinians being treated in a way they'd never want themselves or their loved ones to be treated. Whether it's bombs, protesters shot by snipers, people being driven out of their homes, human rights organizations ruling one after the other that Israel is an apartheid state, tales of racism and abuse suffered by Palestinians in the West Bank, or testimony about how horrific life in Gaza has been made for the people who live there long before this latest round of killing began. This information is unavoidable in modern times. You can avert your gaze, you can try to insulate yourself from it in an ideological echo chamber, you can psychologically compartmentalize away from it, but it will inevitably find its way into your field of perception once in a while. And every time you are confronted with it, you have to make a choice whether to compromise your personal sense of morality a bit further than it was already compromised or abandon your support for Israel. You carve off pieces of your own morality one at a time, mostly in order to avoid the psychological discomfort known as cognitive dissonance which necessarily goes along with any drastic change in worldview.  Deep down you know you're on the wrong path. You know this isn't how you started out, isn't how you're meant to be living your life. But you drown out that small voice inside with the much louder voices of life in a modern industrialized society, many of whom are paid millions of dollars a year to tell you your worldview is the correct one. This is why there is such a massive generation gap on the Israel-Palestine issue. Young people haven't spent a long time gradually eroding their moral compass into a worthless trinket, and they don't consume enough mass media to have been convinced that doing so would be worthwhile. They have not been sufficiently indoctrinated into depraved indifference toward the suffering of others. In a recent statement rejecting right-wing claims that its algorithms are stacked to favor Palestine and promote anti-Israel sentiment, TikTok says the real reason pro-Palestine sentiments are so popular on the platform is because young people just statistically oppose Israel a lot more than older generations. TikTok writes the following, quote, Support for Israel, as compared to sympathy for Palestine, has been lower among younger Americans for some time. This is evidenced by looking at Gallup polling data of millennials dating as far back as 2010, long before TikTok even existed. A March 2023 Gallup poll before the war shows young adults have rapidly shifting attitudes toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, end quote. In a leaked audio clip obtained by Teran Times, Anti-Defamation League director Jonathan Greenblatt has heard bemoaning the loss of Gen Z to pro-Palestinian sentiment. But I also want to point out that we have a major, major, major generational problem, Greenblatt complains to his cohorts. All the polling that I've seen, ADL's polling, ICC's polling, independent polling, suggests this is not a left or right gap, folks. The issue in the United States' support for Israel is not left and right, it is young and old. We really have a TikTok problem, a Gen Z problem, Greenblatt adds. In reality, what Greenblatt and his associates have is a morality problem. They have a large group of people who have not been indoctrinated into accepting madness and amputating parts of their own conscience over the years, and so are able to look at the mass murder of civilians in Gaza with clear eyes. And really, that's all you need to see the ongoing Gaza massacre for what it is, a look with clear eyes. Just one swift glance, unmolested by propaganda distortion or cognitive biases, that's all it takes. Israel's problem is not that people are being propagandized into hating it, it's that people are not being sufficiently propagandized into supporting it. Their problem is not malign influence, but a lack thereof. Because the fact of the matter is there's only so many ways you can spin the murder of thousands of children, and now all the media obfuscation in the world is not enough to pull the wool over fresh eyes that are ready to see.
