Ubuntu just had a big release a couple of days ago, version 22.10, codenamed Kinetic Kudu. I've already taken a look at the flagship edition of Ubuntu with the GNOME desktop infirmary today. I'm going to take a look at six of their flavors, and the flavors I'm going to take a look at are Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Zootbuntu, Ubuntu Budgie, Ubuntu Monte, and Ubuntu Unity. The first official flavor I want to take a look at is Kubuntu, Kubuntu 22.10. During the installation, I have to admit I was a little confused by the installer because I know Kubuntu has been talking about eventually moving away from the ubiquity installer to the Calamaris installer. And the installer actually had me confused because I thought maybe they had already made the switch because this installer does look like Calamaris, but not quite. So actually what I did was I fired up a terminal and I ran the exprop command inside the terminal to take a look at what exactly am I looking at here. By the way, is a X Windows Properties command. It will give you like the property name of that windows. It'll tell you exactly what a program is if for some reason you're confused about what it is. And in this case, the installer is in fact the ubiquity installer. Now, during the ubiquity installer, it's the standard kind of ubiquity install you would get with the flagship edition of Ubuntu. So you're offered minimal and normal installation options. Also, you have the ability to download updates and install proprietary drivers and multimedia codecs during the installation. Also, one thing to notice is unlike the flagship edition of Ubuntu, there is no advanced options button in the installer where you have the option if you want to to use ZFS for a file system. That is not available inside Kubuntu, unfortunately. With Kubuntu 22.10, a plasma whaling session is available for testing if you so choose, but do know that it is not officially supported. A whaling session can be started by selecting it at the login screen. But by default, Kubuntu 22.10 will use X11. Let's talk about some of the packages under the hood. So this is KDE Plasma version 5.25.5, KDE Frameworks 5.98, Qt version 5.15.6, and the kernel version is 5.19. All of these flavors of Ubuntu should be on the 5.19 kernel series, just like the flagship edition. And just like in mainline Ubuntu, Kubuntu has replaced pulse audio with pipe wire. Checking system resource usage, let me fire up a terminal. And this will be KDE's console with a K. Now, one thing to note is Htop is not installed out of the box on Kubuntu. Unfortunately, much like the flagship edition of Ubuntu, Kubuntu does not ship with Htop or with VIM installed out of the box. Two programs that I find kind of curious why any modern Linux distribution wouldn't just ship those out of the box. But I've installed Htop, and you can see KDE Plasma is a really lightweight desktop environment these days. I'm only using 627 megs of the six gigs of RAM that I gave this VM. And this is pretty much on a cold boot. I really haven't done anything in this virtual machine just yet. You can see CPU usage right now is next to nothing, which is not surprising. We were doing nothing that should be taking any CPU. Let's talk about the wallpaper. The default wallpaper is absolutely gorgeous. I love the default wallpaper. And if you go into the desktop settings for wallpaper, you can find the wallpaper pack is really quite stunning. All of these wallpapers, though, these are nothing new. These are just standard Plasma wallpapers that you've seen before. So there's really not much new here. But all of these are just fantastic, mostly abstract art wallpapers that I just think are some of the most beautiful wallpapers out there. Moving on to Lubuntu 22.10. Now, Lubuntu is actually using the Calamaris installer rather than the Ubiquiti installer. Once again, I've verified this by using XProp from the terminal XProp. You can clearly see that the class name for this window is Calamaris. That tells us that this is, in fact, the Calamaris installer. Now, because it's Calamaris rather than Ubiquiti, some of the choices that are in the Ubiquiti installer are not available in the Calamaris installer. For example, there's no option for whether you want to do a normal installation or a minimal installation. There's no toggle checkboxes for downloading updates during the installation or installing proprietary drivers and multimedia codecs during the installation. There's also no advanced button where when you click on it, you're offered ZFS as a file system, if that's your choice. So no ZFS here inside Lubuntu. Now, after the installation of Lubuntu has completed and you log into the LXQt desktop environment, you will notice not much has changed from this version of LXQt from the previous one. It's essentially the same desktop environment. The only real noticeable difference is some of the community-driven artworks, such as this excellent default wallpaper. If you want to change wallpaper, right-click on the desktop, go to Desktop Preferences, go to the Background tab, and then click on the Browse button, and then in this directory, you will find some excellent nature photography as well as some other abstract art. Many of the abstract art photos are backgrounds from previous versions of Lubuntu. Now, one interesting thing to point out with Lubuntu, compared to some of the other official flavors of Ubuntu, is pipe wire is not here. If I open a terminal and I do a where is pipe wire, you can see I don't get anything returned. Normally, if pipe wire was installed, we'd have pipe wire colon, and then it would give me the location to the binaries and libraries and man page for pipe wire, but pipe wire, again, is not installed. Now, if I make this terminal full screen, I do a uname dash R. You can see the kernel is 5.19. Again, that should be the same for all of these official flavors of Ubuntu. 5.19 is what all the 2210 flavors should be on. If I run htop, we can get system resource usage, and one thing to mention about Lubuntu is unlike all of the other official flavors of Ubuntu, Lubuntu is the only one that ships both htop and Vim installed out of the box. So I do want to congratulate the Lubuntu team on a, I would say, a more informed decision compared to some of the other distro maintainers in the Ubuntu family. Now, looking at system resource usage, let's look at the RAM usage. It's very lightweight, 495 megs of the six gigs of RAM that I gave this. So LXQ is not a hungry girl at all. She's actually quite slim, and this makes it a really nice choice for those of you that are running underpowered equipment or older equipment. Moving on to Zubuntu 22.10 with the XFCE desktop environment. Zubuntu uses the familiar Ubiquity installer because it uses the Ubiquity installer. Both the normal installation option and the minimal installation option are offered as well as the check boxes for downloading updates during the installation and installing those proprietary drivers and multimedia codecs is available as well. Also, we have the advanced button that offers ZFS as a file system, if you so choose. Moving on to the XFCE desktop environment. Not much has changed. The panel, the menu system, all looks the same as XFCE and past releases. Now, some of the applications themselves, the individual XFCE application, some of them have seen some tweaks and improvements. Lunar, which is the file manager for XFCE, now has a better file search utility. It includes a built-in recursive file search utility. Also, Mousepad, the text editor, now has a search history as well. If I hit Control Alt T inside Zubuntu that brings up a terminal and let me go ahead and make this full screen. And I'm gonna zoom in here. And if I do a where is pipe wire, you can see pipe wire is also not installed in Zubuntu. So the default audio server is still pulse audio. You name dash R. You can see our kernel is 5.19. Htop is not installed. Neither is VIM. Let me do a sudo apt install Htop. And checking system resource usage with Htop. You can see that the XFCE desktop environment is only using 562 megs of the six gigs of RAM I gave this VM. For wallpapers, let me right click on the desktop. Let's use desktop settings. And the wallpaper pack for Zubuntu is actually quite good. There's some excellent photographs as well as some really cool abstract art as well. I really like though, the default wallpaper here for Zubuntu 22.10. Ubuntu budget 22.10 features the familiar ubiquity installer because it uses ubiquity. We have the options for both a normal installation or a minimal installation if we prefer. Also, we have the toggle buttons for downloading updates during the installation or installing our proprietary drivers and multimedia codecs during the installation as well. We also have the advanced button that offers us ZFS for a file system if we so choose. Looking at the budget desktop environment, the budget desktop environment is gorgeous. I love everything about Ubuntu budget as far as the aesthetics. I love the default wallpaper. I like the time and date widget on the desktop. I love the translucent panel. And of course the menu system is a very traditional feeling kind of menu system that is easy to navigate. Of course the budget desktop environment is a GTK based desktop environment. They are using the GNOME 43 stack with Mudder 11.  If I do a where is pipe wire. You will see pipe wire is installed. Pipe wire has now replaced pulse audio for everything audio related. New name dash R. Once again, our kernel version is 5.19. If I try to run htop, htop is installed out of the box inside Ubuntu budget. Thank you Ubuntu budget team.  You can see for RAM usage, Ubuntu budget is using 685 megs of RAM of the six gigs of RAM I gave this VM. CPU usage is also quite light. Actually we're using a little bit of CPU right now. I don't know if it's trying to do like a system update or it may be a package management thing where it's checking if there are any updates available but it's settling back down to about 5% CPU now. One thing I haven't done in the other flavors but I will do now in Ubuntu budget. If I do a snap list, you will see the snaps that are installed out of the box are pretty much the same on all the distributions. That's why I didn't do it. Firefox is the default browser on all these distributions. Firefox is installed as a snap and I know that causes some people some frustration but if you're one of those people that do not like Firefox as a snap, you can find a PPA that will install Firefox as a dead pack if you so prefer. One nice little tweak to the menu system here inside Budgie is we have this familiar kind of menu system where all the apps are grouped basically all together so you get a list of every single application and they're not broken down by category but now we have this little button here that if you toggle that on, that is a more traditional kind of menu system where apps can be broken down by category. If I hit super and search for desktop settings, the Budgie desktop settings is the name of the program. One of the things you will notice under style is under styling, you can set the preferred application style and you can see you have preferred dark, preferred light or the application preference. By default, it is preferred dark and what this does, it allows you to go ahead and set that dark or light style for all GNOME 42 and lib handy based applications. Moving on to Ubuntu Mate 22.10, Ubuntu Mate still uses the familiar Ubiquiti installer. The Ubiquiti installer also offers us the normal installation option or the minimal installation option. We also have the ability to download updates during the installation and install our proprietary drivers and multimedia codecs during the installation. Also, we have the advanced button that offers SZFS for a file system if we choose that. Now what has changed in Ubuntu Mate 22.10? Well, not much. From 22.04 to 22.10, not much has changed. This is a rather modest release of Ubuntu Mate. Everything is pretty much the same as it's always been and part of that is because the lead dev of Ubuntu Mate, Martin Wimpress, he has been working closely with the Debian team trying to bring the Ubuntu Mate desktop experience over to Debian Mate. And the reason he's working so hard to get Debian Mate straight is of course Debian being upstream of Ubuntu. If most of what is baked into Ubuntu Mate is already in Debian, it just makes things a little easier. It makes everybody's life a little easier. So most of the changes for this release of Ubuntu Mate are gonna be under the hood changes. I do apologize for this blinding white terminal. The Ubuntu Mate team really should default to a dark terminal color scheme, but bear with me, if I do a where is pipe wire, you can see that pipe wire has now replaced pulse audio for all your audio related stuff. If I do a unnamed dash R, you can see they're using 5.19 for the kernel and Htop is installed in Ubuntu Mate. Way to go, Ubuntu Mate team. The Mate desktop environment, she's only using 627 megs of the six gigs of RAM I gave this VM CPU usage is next to nothing. And for those of you that are a fan of aesthetics, the wallpaper pack in Ubuntu Mate may be the best wallpaper pack out of the bunch. They have some absolutely gorgeous Kudu related wallpapers. I mean, these things, I don't know who did the artwork for these, but these are absolutely stunning wallpapers. I may actually have to rip off some of these. I really quite like that one. I may leave that one as my default. And the final flavor I wanted to take a look at is Ubuntu Unity Edition 22.10. Ubuntu Unity uses the familiar Ubiquity installer because of that, once again, we have the normal installation option, the minimal installation option. We have the ability to download updates during the installation. We have the ability to download our proprietary drivers and multimedia codecs during the installation. We do have an advanced features button, but ZFS is not a listed option. Now Ubuntu Unity is a new member of the Ubuntu family, but it is now an official flavor of Ubuntu. Looking at the Unity desktop environment, I've got to say that they have made some really nice tweaks and improvements to the Unity desktop. One of the things I noticed in this version is this little icon in the panel. Now, if I click on it, you see switch theme. If I switch theme, it switches us from that default dark theme to a light theme. And if I click on it again, switch theme, now it switches us back to the dark theme. Also, switch accent color. We have a variety of accent colors. Let me go ahead and hit the super key and search for our files manager. So this, of course, is Nautilus. The accent color you can see is orange. We've got orange icons here. And if I switch accent color and go to purple, you can see we now have the purple accents for the icon set. If I switch to sage, we have a really kind of grayish green sage color here. There is Viridian. That's a little brighter. But I think more appropriate for our purple wallpaper would be to do something like magenta. Yeah, that's really nice there. I'm going to leave that. The Unity desktop environment is actually light and peppy. If I go and look at our installed applications, you can see the menu system actually works quite nicely. You can see the search is rather nice. Also, you can see we have our global menu here. If I make something full screen, we do have the global menu integration. Also, you can see that the window control buttons are on the left-hand side of our windows, even when it's not maximized. So that is something to be aware of if you are new to the Unity desktop environment. And the reason those windows controls are on the left-hand side of the windows is because everything happens on the left-hand side of Unity. It wouldn't make sense to also have stuff going on way over on the right-hand side.  I'm going to zoom in. Let's check if Htop is installed. It is not. I will do a sudo apt install Htop. And someone should file a bug report with the Ubuntu Unity team, letting them know Htop is missing. And Htop. And you can see the Unity desktop is actually a little heavier than the other flavors we've taken a look at today. It is using right at a gig of RAM of the six gigs of RAM I gave this VM. It's using a little bit of CPU, not much. If I do a uname dash R, you can see the kernel. Once again, it's 5.19. If I do a snap list, you can see Firefox is installed as a snap. If I close the terminal and right-click on the desktop and change desktop background, you can see we have another very excellent wallpaper pack, including some really nice abstract art with the Kudu. Even though it's kind of a strange animal, an animal I had never heard of, I really am really impressed with the wallpapers that each official flavor of Ubuntu has come up with for this series. So there you have it. That was just a very quick and cursory look at six of the official flavors of Ubuntu. I do want to congratulate everybody involved with this Ubuntu release, both on the flagship edition of Ubuntu as well as these official flavors. I really am impressed with what some of these official flavors are doing, some of the community behind these distributions, some of what they are able to achieve. I think the official flavors, in many cases, are as good, if not better, than the actual flagship edition of Ubuntu, which is actually an incredible feat considering that, of course, the main edition of Ubuntu is corporate-backed, but I have been really, really impressed with what I'm seeing out of the official flavors here recently. Now before I go, I need to thank a few special people.

Is What's good with y'all she boy Ross back out again with another video, so AEW man their go-home show for full gear Amazing. It was a very entertaining go-home show. I must say That's how you do a go-home show a lot of times in WWE their go-home shows Are a pretty lackluster this go-home show for the most part was very entertaining The crowd was very lively. It got you even more hyped to see the pay-per-view this weekend I'm looking forward to full gear this weekend and This promo that we're about to check out. It is easily one of the best promos. I've seen all year Cody Simply puts his all into this promo. You can tell it wasn't scripted. You can tell this It comes from the heart the way he was just delivering this it hiked me up for his match between Chris Jericho I'm looking forward to it. I really wish WWE we get rid of the scripted promos because this is how you sell a match. I am Looking forward to it. We're gonna check this out together I've already seen it and it just gave me goosebumps and just made me hype about the match But we're gonna break it down and then after that we're gonna talk about NXT because I did check out NXT and there were some great things that happened on things NXT Tonight as well. So we're just gonna go through break it down piece by piece man And I just give my thoughts on it, but this Wednesday nights is the place to be when it comes to wrestling man So let's get right into this awesome awesome promo man. Just This is how you do a promo for real for real. I know y'all are saying my little beef I got going on with dub was a pretty good promo this this is Kills it knocks it out the park. I could never compare to center promo like this. This was awesome This crowd was so lively the energy. They were just so excited like this is what WWE's missing just Just the intensity man Easily one of the best-looking championship belts out there when it comes to wrestling definitely love their championship belt This is when the promo starts getting real good real juicy, man. I Know his father would be proud of what he's doing right now for wrestling as a whole He's bringing up some very valid points. I like this WWE is doing it right man.   We're still gonna watch we still want you to win like I love it man Just I love it, but he's making some valid points and this is something that I thought as well he is in management and He's in a title match and a lot of people can say oh How is that smart booking your top guy who's also in management is automatically in a title match? Like what's going on here? You know I'm saying why is someone else not getting a shot over Cody? Is it because he's in management? He's part of the upper echelon when it comes to decision-making within the company so he gets to decide Him he gets to decide to put himself in a match like this. That's a valid valid argument That's a valid point. I like that. He brought that up This was a big announcement, too And he does man Autumn Gears and WWE and they really didn't give him the respect he deserved They didn't give his brother respect for respect. He deserved. I like that man It's like if if I do not win I Won't challenge for the the championship at no point ever and I like that it also raises stakes for this match So I like that this was this was raises the stakes for the match And this is when it really ramps up Hmm, I like this is so I love it, man I love it Love it, bro. I Love it. Just the just the realism with his promo Mmm. Oh This this was so good Preach Cody. Yo, this is Gives gives me goosebumps, bro. I'm getting goosebumps right now I'm not even lying just the passion that he has with this promo Selling this match even more Love it, man. Just just love it. Such a good promo man. That's how you sell a match simple Simple, that's how you sell a match right there. I am Interested in seeing where this match goes down the stakes or raise if he does not win he can never Challenge for the AEW championship and I think that's fair. He's the top guy. He's literally in management when it comes to this He's signing people to the company. I'm okay with that Honestly, I don't know who's gonna win. I'm very intrigued to see After this they had some pretty dope matches. I want to say what made this go home show even more just Enjoyable for me with the fact that pretty much everyone in the inner circle and the all elite crew They were just going at it. It was a massive brawl Kenny Omega Going at it with John Marsley has a barbed wire bat Kenny Omega's a barbed wire broom And it was just chaos in the best possible way crowd was eating it up. I was eating it up I was enjoying it. That's how you send the crowd Happy and excited to see what's gonna happen at AEW full gear. I'm looking forward to it Let me know if you guys are looking forward to that pay-per-view this weekend That's definitely something. I'm gonna try to take time out of my afternoon Once I get everything settled for the day and I do all my recording and stuff to watch that And I'm gonna give my thoughts and opinions on that this weekend man. So looking forward to what? AEW brings to us for their very first pay-per-view after their TNT Premiere and I'm just looking forward to it and Cody once again Delivering it on the mic one of the best promos. I've heard all yours easily up there Okay, so let's get into NXT. We're not gonna really watch a clip So what doesn't make this video too long but basically? It starts with the OC attacking Members of the undisputed error. I don't think Adam Cole was in that attack But there was attacking members of the undisputed error. It was pretty dope. They kind of invade NXT which we kind of figured somebody was gonna invade NXT and then afterwards He gets they get confronted by Tomas O'Chomple They end up having a match later on that night. It was it was entertaining like this This show is very entertaining for the most part. Uh-huh. They're mostly just building up To war games and and also Survivor Series, which is later on this month at the end Adam Cole Comes in from behind after Finn Balor He Finn Balor attacks one of Tomas O'Chomple's teammates and on the outside he attacks He attacks Matt Riddle on the outside and he's just standing there. She saw Stowe we call cool and chill and That's when AJ Styles tries it the style clash on On Tomas O'Chomple, he gets super kicked out of oblivion by Adam Cole Adam Cole hits his finishing move on him and he's standing there looking tall while Finn Balor's just looking all cool and stoic and I also like the little tease between AJ Styles and and And Finn Balor AJ's holding his two-sweet sign, you know I'm saying and Finn Balor giving him this sign right here, man Like you they also have history with each other Which is I like that they're teasing that they do have previous history with each other So it's this is dope to see Good wrestling on both fronts in both companies. I definitely did enjoy AEW's go-home show more than I enjoyed this this episode of NXT, but But they were both enjoyable, but I want to get y'all opinions if y'all and which one John enjoyed more Was it AEW this week or was it NXT? I'd like to ask that from week to week get y'all opinions on it y'all Or maybe I enjoyed them both equally, but me personally once again AEW knocks it out the park looking forward to their first Pay-per-view outside of the TNT premiere and I enjoyed that show a little bit more than NXT this week But both of them equally good shows Cody Rose killed the promo, but yeah, man Let me know down below in the comment section Who do y'all think is gonna win the AEW championship? Do y'all think Cody Rose is gonna win? Do y'all think Chris Jericho is gonna win? Oh, I also forgot to mention Chris Jericho's video package Hilarious, bro This is why it makes it so hard for me to decide whether he should keep the title or not because he is Fantastic as a heel that video package was more entertaining than damn near Three hours of any raw this year not lying that video package was funny But had some realism behind it basically everybody in the inner circle telling reasons why Chris Jericho's an amazing champion got someone from Chris Jericho's like church or something like that saying hi Hope some old old woman talking about I hope Chris Jericho kicks Cody Rose ass like you have people just it was just so amazing Sammy Guevara Let's talk about Chris Jericho at the age of 46 is the I forgot what agey up Chris Jericho is He said basically at the age he is he's the young you say he W champion That's because he's the only AEW champion so far. It was so funny and I love Chris Hager I'm not Chris Hager Jack Hager's Expression he doesn't say a single word. He just Doesn't say a single word and I love it. There's so dope So funny man. I that was such a funny video package. He's a heel, but he's entertaining He's he's he's he's a good champion So I don't know if they're gonna take the belt off of him So we will see let me know if y'all think he's gonna retain the title or he's gonna drop it to Cody Let's start up a discussion, but I appreciate y'all kicking it with me And this is for you dub I haven't seen the video response yet Don't wait make me wait for too long man. I'm serious Lay off the blondie jokes peace


Hello everybody, I'm EvilRabbit. We're here on a set of Corsa in my M4 competition car here at Laguna Seca Because I've been getting a lot of comments recently asking How I got my neck effects to look the way I do my wheel settings in the pit house app as well as in-game And we'll go through all of that here today in today's episode and I've been having a lot of fun recently. Oh little dirt drop driving on drifting on racetracks rather than just You know the BDC tracks tracks are all in these online servers But I have a lot of fun going out onto all these tracks that I do GT3 racing in and seeing if I can uh kind of run them in a full full drift spec kind of like a grid life style driving and This M4 just rips. So we're gonna get into all my settings for like my neck effect and how I have my You know in car settings the way I have it So that I can get the way I have it pivoting and stuff like that because a lot of people have been asking what my Neck effect settings are with the way it's tilting and everything.

I've been posting and everything like that It's been a busy beginning of the year for me with a lot of things going on so finally getting a little bit of time to dial back in on the sim and Get a little more work going here on the channel with some shorts and some full-length videos and stuff like that for you guys because it's been a beginning of a very busy year for me a Lot of things planned a lot of things coming. So if you guys are sticking around and enjoying this so once we get through That was actually really nice. I think we kind of floated this too much Yeah, we are trying to do a little backy. So let's go take a look at my neck effects settings first So we're gonna go straight into neck effects We're gonna go Through all of this you guys can obviously pause the video and take a look at everything because we want to Make sure we give you all of my settings that I have so Basically, you can see all the blue markers are things that I've pretty much adapted and adjusted My effect gain at 25% is kind of something that I found works really well my velocities at 79 Invert tilt steering and then of course you have some tilt tilt split 15% you know you can go through all of this and screen grab this if you want to go full through But you see I have my look ahead threshold changed My look angle threshold has changed the distance threshold. So all these blue ones are major changes that I've made from the factory Neck effects settings that is there So you guys can see where the main things I have are my effect gain and my velocity These two are probably the most important things that I've changed Which give me that effect that I have with my steering will input as well as kind of apex look and things like that So this is what we're running for neck effects now when it comes to our wheel settings We are running for our Wheel settings and our force feedback. So in a set of course in the game, we're running 80% gain Now I'm running my imosa R12. So that can be changed slightly if you want I left the curb effect road effect and slip effect as well as ABS effect back from factory I left it 25 10 and 10 now some people like to turn that off I like to leave them on because it gives a little bit of a more of a Feel that I'm getting in game rather than my wheel I know some people say that this is artificial feel and should just use the wheel thing Well, this is what I find that I like and what I'm running right now Now I have my central boost at zero my center Bruce gain at six and then of course lowest Low speed force you like 1% and threshold at 7 kilometers an hour So this is my in-game settings for my wheel settings now The main thing that I know a lot of people are trying to figure out is my pit house settings So this is my basic pit house settings and how I have it set up for a current So if you notice I do have a preset saved one so I run 900 degrees I should run 1080, but I'm running 900 right now My road sensitivities at 10 my in-game force feedback is at 60 now That's I'm running the R12 Currently so that can adjust higher if you're running say in R5 or an R9 Or down a little bit more if you're running like an R21 or an R16 that is going to be a little bit dependent on How Powerful your wheelbase is the higher you go the steppier it gets like it'll do it's kind of like a too much of a Step rotation rather than just a smooth, you know rotation, which is what you're looking for So my max wheel speed Wheel spin speed is at a hundred percent. We have the springs strength off wheel dampener I have set to 65 now that's for me personally kind of helps with the stutter step I want a little bit of dampening when it goes around and stuff like that So that's why I'm running a little bit of wheel dampening and when we go into the Advanced I do have my maximum output torque limit at a hundred percent I don't run hands-off protection because if you do and you let it go It's gonna stop rotating. You don't want hands-off protection turned on with drifting at all My natural inertia is set to 150. I turned all wheel friction speed depend and everything is turned off So that is what I found works quite well with the wheel I'm running and my setup and all the cars that are running now This does feel really good on street car, which I'm gonna pull a street car and next and drive it so you guys can kind of see that I've left this flat-planned Some people like to mess with this different things. I found that the feedback is quite good flat-planned And then the curve obviously is linear and then miscellaneous We don't have anything to do with but the main things are your inertia and your friction load And of course your wheel spin speed and all that so I'm gonna go get in a street car and show you guys That on a non-aggressive comp car We're rotation is really smooth and it feels super nice. So let's go grab into one of those All right, so now that we are in The BDC cars.  But if you notice the wheel rotation Oh As we just door down that guy really hard the way rotation these cars you notice how it's much smoother Then when I was running in that oh man, I'm getting buffed behind in my comp car So this and wheel settings work really well in some street-tuned cars Especially these BDC cars. I Kind of just let the wheel go and it kind of floats where I wanted to like I thought I was gonna smack into him I don't know what's going on with this guys. Oh So I hope this guy's I hope this video helps you guys in figuring out some settings Maybe getting some neck effects. Oh god, don't look away The neck effect and stuff because I definitely Problem-solving service. I really like the way my neck effect rotates around inside the car It's nice and smooth and it kind of looks where I want it to look since I'm running one single 34 inch ultra wide it makes it real nice to That guy Only be running on one monitor set of triples you barely hear my own car So I hope you guys enjoy this video I hope it helps and I hope you guys come back for more episodes here on the channel I appreciate all the support and everything like that. Like I said been a very busy beginning of the year So getting full back into the swing of things now Get getting into the later months. Oh, I got dead. Oh, and I got dead So make sure you guys follow me on all social media all that you found in the description box below as always I thank you guys for coming back and watching I'm evil rabbit. I'll see you guys on the track


I need everybody in here to get ready to go to war. Okay? Is anybody in here a little bit stirred up? Who's ready to go to war? Let's go, man. If this is a little bit too intense for you, if this is too intense for you, this is nothing, man.   No, man, you're either on the team, you're about winning or you're out. Look, there's first string, second string and third string. Okay, grosses are through the roof. They're through the roof, I get it. Let's sell out of all our cars. Don't let our people buy anywhere else.  We can shut them down while it's hot, okay? You can pick up an extra hundred units a month, how? It's easy.   You did, that's your fault.  You guys are 500 car stores, am I right? You're 500 car stores, you're not 100 car stores. You're not 200 car stores, you're 500 car stores. Are you a mega group?  You just haven't decided to go get it yet. Wake up, the money's there. You guys got the floor lines, I know he does. I know this guy's got money, okay? Listen, let's create a buying center. Let's have 20 or 30 or 40 buyers on site, bringing us cars every freaking day. If we need more buyers, then don't sit around and complain. We need more buyers, okay?  Hell, stay up till five a.m. in the morning. Don't sleep for two years. It'd be worth it, am I right? Okay, don't get comfortable, don't get comfortable. I don't get comfortable, I'm telling you. Dominate, don't get comfortable.   They're ready to tear this store down. We ain't gonna let them. And we're gonna be proactive and since we know what's happening, we're gonna go to war. You guys are all warriors in here and the wives, I'd like to ask you to support your husband and push him through the roof. You have no idea how strong these guys are. You have no idea and they trick you into believing they're not that strong and that they're already killing it. I'm doing great, baby. Bullshit, has that check been doubling? A better double. Tom, we play the doubles game in this house. If that don't double, I'm gonna wear you out, okay? I just want to tell everybody in here, much love and I mean this, I'm grateful to be here. It's a privilege to be a leader. Just never forget that. It's a privilege. It's a privilege that you have a whole team that's behind you. But also at the end of the day, we got to respect the head. This guy's got more money on the line than anything. Okay, it's just a little bit scary. Have you ever seen the bills and you're like, do we really pay out this much money? It's just a little bit.  And now that it's good, guess what we need to do? We need to make our people healthy. We need to make ourselves healthy. We need to make our company healthy. And right now when we got the wind in ourselves, we need to attack. So I want to say this.  I want it to be seen by the entire world.   If you really care, if you really want to win and you want the next store in the company, guess what? Wake up, call your shop. Say, man, I'm gonna have a store in two years. I guarantee it. I will move the needle so much in this company that it'll be undeniable. I will demand the attention of the world. Guess what? You'll get your store.  And life is beautiful.  Your wife, guys, she'll choose you as the man of her dreams. And then obviously, Burkheimer will think before he goes to bed at night, God, man, how did I get so lucky? And to me, that's all I ever wanted for somebody to trust me, okay? And give me loyalty. I think you guys all have that. It is time to go to war.


There's so much to know about analytics. Where do I start with data? The bare minimum to getting started with data is awareness and adoption. One, you have to know what you already have and two, just start using it. Awareness can start as simply as making a list of all the places in your organization where data may exist. Think Google Analytics, your email marketing system, your social media platforms. Having this data can't help you unless you use it. So find ways to introduce data into conversations you're already having about content creation or outreach. Just put it on the agenda for a recurring meeting or create a new space for your team to ask questions and share insights about data. Whatever you can do to make it a habit of it. There's so much more you can do to make your analytics more reliable, more relevant, and all around more valuable to your organization. But however much you invest in analytics, it needs to start with awareness and end with adoption.

By the first week in October 1944, Allied forces had liberated most of Western Europe from German occupation and had established a continuous front from the North Sea to Switzerland. The 9th Army was assigned positions north and east of Aachen on the extreme left frags of the American forces. At this point, the 9th Army consisted of the 19th Corps only, composed of the 29th Infantry, 2nd Armored, and 30th Infantry Division. After fighting north of Aachen, these divisions began the preparations for the Allied Offensive to penetrate the Siegfried Line in mid-November. A rest camp was established at Kerkod near the German border in Holland, approximately five miles behind the front line. The 30th Division arrived at this camp during the first week in November to rest before the start of the new offensive. Originally assigned to the 1st Army, this unit landed in Normandy, participated in the drive across France and Belgium, and took part in the fighting around Aachen. This was their first rest period. A recreation program was provided, but the men were free to spend their time in any way they wished. Most units were assigned to the camps for 48 hours. After this brief but welcome relief, the men returned directly to the front. On 10 November, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, inspected 9th Army troops accompanied by Generals Bradley, Simpson, and McLean. General Eisenhower first visited the 29th Infantry Division at Eigelchofen in Holland. With Major General Charles Gehrhardt, the Division Commander, General Eisenhower talked to his listed men from the front lines, complimenting them on their work. On the same day, General Eisenhower visited the 30th Division at Herzoggenracht in Germany just over the Netherlands border. The Division Commander, Major General Leland S. Hobbs, Supreme General Eisenhower and Lieutenant General William H. Simpson, commanding General of the 9th Army. By 8 November, the 84th and 7th Armored Divisions had assembled in the 9th Army area and with the 102nd Infantry Division became a new corps, the 13th. On 16 November, the 1st and 9th United States Armies crossed Eastward in a coordinated attack from Aachen to the Rohr River. The final objectives were the Cologne Plain and the industrial area of the Rohr. In preparation for the attack, 9th Army troops destroyed secret line pillboxes and similar fortifications captured during the fighting for Aachen. Lead wires and an electric detonator were used instead of a fuse. This pillbox west of Aachen was blown by the 246th Engineers. Other preparations included converting a muddy field into an alternate route through the town of Uba. The road net throughout the area was thus improved for military traffic. A Class 1 supply dump was established in the area at Maastricht Holland. When completed, it would contain enough rations to feed 1 million men for a week. Ammunition was carried by train to Herlin in Holland, a railhead 10 miles northwest of Aachen, and unloaded there directly onto Army cargo trucks. These transported the ammunition to a forward dump along the Aachen road. Captured Dutch collaborationists unloaded the trucks. In Uba, a field artillery battalion laid telephone lines from its battery to headquarters. Wire was strung off the ground because of weather and traffic conditions in forward areas. A German plow drawn by a GI truck provided an improvised method of digging a ditch in which a multi-strand cable was buried. This was used for a more permanent communication system. The area confronting the 9th Army and over which it would have to fight was flat, airable farmland with little natural cover except for scattered clumps of trees. The countryside was dotted with small towns and villages, frequently not more than a mile or two apart, and consisting of old, solemnly built stone houses. The enemy had evacuated civilians from the area and entrenched himself in these villages, which constituted excellent defensive positions. Field fortifications included the pillboxes and earthworks found throughout the depth of the west wall. Knocked out enemy tanks, bomb and shell craters were evidence of the heavy bombing that had already occurred in this area. During the preparatory period, action on the 9th Army Front was limited to artillery fire and small-scale attacks and counter attacks. An observation plane of the 29th Division prepared to take off from Schindfeld in Holland. The plane directed fire on target near Geilenkirchen, Germany. A battery of 105mm howitzers fired is directed by the plane. At Ubach to the south, a field artillery battalion of the 2nd Armored Division softened up the enemy. This barrage included smoke shells, which marked the targets for our aircraft. The 9th Army's mission was to clear the area in its zone between Aachen and the Rohr River and protect the 1st Army's left flank. Objectives included 1st Aldenhoven and then Ullecht. The 30th Division, reinforced by a regiment of the 84th Division, advanced in a general southeasterly direction to the Army border and then became core reserve. The 2nd Armored Division, supported by a regiment of the 102nd Division, seized the Gurianfiler area with one combat command. The rest of the Division advanced to an assembly area northwest of Ullecht. Starting at 1100 hours on 16 November, 12 squadrons of fighter bombers of the 9th Tactical Air Command attacked the initial objective of the 19th Corps. In addition, medium and heavy bombers of the 8th Air Force made successful runs over the communication centers of Lürken, Aldenhoven, Lene and Ullecht. Shortly after the cessation of bombing, the three divisions of the 19th Corps took off on 16 November on their drive east toward the Rohr. On 15 November, the three divisions of the 19th Corps began assembling for the attack. Men of the 29th Division, supported by the 2nd Armored Division, moved through and out of Ubach toward their rendezvous at Begendorf. Begendorf was the jump-off point for the general drive to the Rohr. Tanks were assembled a mile west of Begendorf in a shallow valley to avoid enemy observation. Following the air and artillery bombardment, they came out of concealment to begin the attack on 16 November. The tank deployed over open territory as they advanced. They moved through Begendorf toward their initial objective, Loverex. Supporting infantry of the 2nd Armored Division followed after the tank. Although it had been in our hands for some weeks, Begendorf was under heavy mortar fire. As tanks and men moved out from Begendorf, they had to advance over bare fields with little cover and under constant artillery and small arms fire. Early in this attack, prisoners were taken and marched to a field behind the lines for examination. The Germans were sent back to Begendorf which served as a gathering point for many of the prisoners taken during this action. The 2nd Armored Division, supported by a regiment of the 102nd Division, took Loverex in the first two hours of the action on 16 November. The town was still under heavy mortar and artillery fire the day after its capture as troops and equipment passed through. Beyond Loverex lay more open fields and more difficult fighting. Troops of the 29th Division brought up to Loverex for an attack on Satterich, about two and a half miles to the southeast, moved out toward their objective on 18 November. Meanwhile to the south, the main strength of the 29th Division was battling for the town of Baseveiler, which had to be cleared before Satterich could be attacked from that direction. The troops used small arms and mortars in house to house fighting. Wounded men were given first aid before being evacuated to the rear. Breaking from the cover of houses on the fringe of Baseveiler, a battalion of the 29th Division deployed for its attack on Satterich to the northeast. A barrage consisting of white phosphorus and smoke screen shells was laid down by mortars to cover the advance launched shortly after noon on 16 November. Heavy artillery fire was encountered by troops that had almost no cover. First aid men moved out to pick up the wounded and bring them into Baseveiler for treatment. Tanks of the Second Armored supported the 29th Infantry Division as they moved out of Baseveiler toward Satterich. More prisoners were taken during this new action and were brought into Baseveiler as soon as possible. After examination, the prisoners were herded into trucks and transported farther to the rear. Enemy mines delayed our armor on the Baseveiler Satterich road. Satterich had been severely damaged by artillery fire and air bombardment. Infantry and vehicles moved ahead toward Satterich. On 18 November, our troops entered Satterich and by the end of the day had cleared two-thirds of the town. Units from all three divisions of the 19th Corps were in Satterich at the same time. In addition to the 29th and 2nd Armored Divisions who had fought for the town, men of the 30th Division moved through Satterich to assist the 2nd Armored in its attack on Frieldoven, next town to the east. These troops left Satterich on 19 November. They advanced over open fields toward Frieldoven, the outskirts of which they reached the same day. Frieldoven, shown here from the air, was overrun and occupied by our troops on 20 November. Meanwhile, due south of Satterich, the 29th Division launched a parallel drive eastward. Infantry utilized captured enemy trenches in their advance toward Bettendorf. Bettendorf was entered by our troops on 18 November and the town fell the same day. It immediately became a base of fire against strong enemy resistance. Prisoners taken in and around Bettendorf seemed stunned by the 9th Army Drive. 1034 prisoners were taken during the first three days of attack. Searsdorf, about a mile northeast of Bettendorf, was captured on 18 November. These air views of Searsdorf suggest the damage suffered by the town. Aldenhoven, taken 21 November, was equally hard hit. Aldenhoven was the first important objective reached by the 29th Division, marking the halfway point on the road to Yulek. Here, two medics of the 29th Division look over the remains of a church, in front of which men of the 81st Tank Destroyer set up a 3-inch anti-tank gun. A wire liaison team laid communication lines along the street in Aldenhoven. While the 2nd Armored and the 29th Infantry Division were battling eastward, the 30th Division, reinforced by a regiment of the 84th Division, cleared Vursalin, a town to the rear on 19 November. Vursalin had been the scene of bitter street fighting in a local engagement several weeks prior to the 9th Army's general attack. Men of the 84th Division followed during a mine clearing detail to eat their noon meal. Every object suspected of concealing a mine had to be carefully checked before the area was considered clear. Medics gave first aid in plasma to a German civilian whose leg had been blown off by a mine left by the Nazis in a backyard. While probing the ground where the civilian was hit, one of our engineers stepped on a second mine. The engineer who set off the mine lost his foot. By 18 November, a regiment of the 84th Division and the British 43rd Division was poised for a joint attack from two directions against the German city of Geilenkirchen. Led by flail tanks, the British bore down on Geilenkirchen from the northwest, through an area evacuated by enemy troops and civilians. The British Division was equipped with both American and English armor. Sherman tanks, manned by British personnel, participated in the attack. The 43rd Division passed through the German town of Gangelk just across the Netherlands border. Outside Gangelk, the tanks and accompanying infantry deployed to continue the advance over more open terrain. The British action developed into an encircling movement. Troops fanned out to cut off the approaches to Geilenkirchen and again the advantage of high ground to the north. Both vehicles and men took advantage of what scattered cover the terrain afforded. Beyond Gilroth, only slightly more than a mile from their objective, Geilenkirchen, self-propelled artillery and massed Sherman tanks laid down a barrage. Men of the 8th Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment threw in a harassing fire to support American infantry attacking from the southeast. Men of the 84th Division under British command and covered by British fire closed in on Geilenkirchen. In this area, some 700 yards southeast of the town, about 300 enemy mines were found. Infantry advanced past deactivated mines. The Americans fought their way forward to the approaches of the town. Having overcome initial enemy resistance, they marched on Geilenkirchen. Meanwhile, British units had resumed their progress toward Geilenkirchen from the northwest. They passed through the broken town of Bauchem, a suburb of Geilenkirchen. American infantry and tanks of the British division entered Geilenkirchen at dawn on 19 November. Moving through the town, the advancing troops experienced sporadic enemy fire. The use of loudspeakers to urge enemy troops to surrender, one form of psychological warfare, was used by the 9th Army for the first time at Geilenkirchen. Some 300 Germans surrendered in response to the broadcast message. The prisoners attended to their own wounded. Many other Germans were ferreted out of buildings and taken prisoner.  In cleaning up activities, engineers deactivated an enemy demolition charge placed under a bridge by the Germans before withdrawal. Communications were established as soon as the town was secured. After some of the most severe bombing and artillery attacks of the war, Geilenkirchen presented a scene of devastation that followed the pattern of Aachen. An Allied military government was established and notices posted in English and German. The weather deteriorated on the 20th, the day after Geilenkirchen fell. This bad weather continued for the next five days and hampered operations all along the front. Despite the weather, British troops and armor moved out of Geilenkirchen on 21 November and advanced northeast towards Worm. The British used flail tanks with much success to discover and detonate mines in this area. The column included tanks of the British 79th Armored Corps. On 19 November, American troops of the 84th Division, also moving northeast, entered Sugarov, jumping off-place for the joint attack on Worm. By the 28th, however, all towns west of the roar and in-day rivers, with the exception of Western Nulik, had been captured. On the 29th, with the southern two-thirds of the 9th Army Front parallel and close to the roar, the 13th Corps attacked in the direction of Linderen. Beck and Worm were in the line of attack. On 29 November, United States troops of the 84th Division moved out of Sugarov to take up positions facing Worm. They established a line of mortars 100 yards behind the front. Armaments, ammunition and supplies were all carried forward by hand through the mud. Slings were used to pack the mortar shells. Sniping was common and troops advanced cautiously. Mortars were placed in deflated positions. The mud made evacuation of the wounded even more hazardous than usual. Jeeps rigged to carry litters proved helpful. Meanwhile, in the advance on Beck from Oppveiler, the mud was equally treacherous. Maintenance of communications became a major problem. Water, rations and mail were carried by hand to men of the 84th Division entrenched north of Oppveiler. These men were an advanced element in the drive on Beck. This sector was under artillery fire, making it difficult to get the wounded back to a point where proper medical attention could be given them. Just south of Beck, a field artillery battalion of the 84th Division utilized large concrete pipes found in the area to improvise shelters. These afforded protection against German shelling of the reverse side of hills. The 102nd Division pressed on toward Lenich, Rordorf and Flossdorf. The 7th Armored Division supported the advancing troops as needed. To support the 102nd Division's attack on Lenich, tanks of the 7th Armored Division moved out from the vicinity of Gareon's Filer. The 102nd Division and the 7th Armored Division entered Lenich late on 1 December and by 2400 hours held two-thirds of the town. The following day, the entire town was cleared with the exception of a small number of snipers. Men of the 102nd Division moved on the double away from a church steeple that was drawing enemy fire. Moving through Lenich, troops of the 102nd Division on 2 December captured and cleared Rordorf south of Lenich on the Rora River. On the same day, Flossdorf, another river town further south, was also entered. The capture of Rordorf and Flossdorf allowed the 13th Corps to capture the Rora River and to achieve its objective of clearing the West Bank of enemy troops. Heading east from Coesler, the 29th Division and tanks of the 2nd Armored Division struck out for Hassenfeldt-Gut. Hassenfeldt-Gut lay a mile north of Eulich which can be seen in the distance being shelled by artillery. The fighting for the Gut was so prolonged that the infantry regiment assigned to capture it had to be relieved after six days of constant effort without obtaining its objective. This man lay in a field for more than five days after being wounded by artillery before he was found by our first-aid men. When the isolated buildings of the Hassenfeldt-Gut were cleared, the defenders proved to be of mixed quality. Many of the German casualties and prisoners were mere boys. The 115th Regiment of the 29th Division finally cleared the territory the 8th of December. While resistance at the Hassenfeldt-Gut was being neutralized, a parallel and equally bitter campaign was waged for the Eulich sports plots on 8th December. This also fell to the 115th Regiment. On the day after its capture, the sports plots consisting of two football fields and a nearby swimming pool was inspected by officers of the 29th Division. In crossing the broad expanse of the sports plots, our men had not only faced the defending garrison, but heavy enemy artillery fire from locations across the river. By 14 December, the 30th Division, coordinating with the 1st Army, cleaned out the Inlay Roar Triangle. Swollen to three times its normal width by rain, the Roar presented a formidable barrier to both men and equipment of the 9th Army. However, on 15 December, all territory west of the Roar was under allied control, thus completing another phase in their drive to the final objective, the defeat of Germany.


The most asked question in a TEFL interview, what do you hope to learn from your year of teaching abroad? This question depends on your goals for your year abroad. You'll want to base your answer on your motivation to teach. Do not use this question as an opportunity to talk about traveling to other places or learning the local language.

Hi, how are you doing? I am your host Rich here on behalf of Rich TV Live and with our very special guest from Nexie Innovations, Zach Hudson, the CSO, Chief Scientific Officer of Nex Innovations. How are you doing today, Zach? I'm doing great, Rich. How are you? I'm doing fantastic. So as the Chief Scientific Officer of Nexie Innovations, what are your roles and responsibilities and duties with the company? So my role is to leave large portions of our research and development program in plant-based formulations for consumer products. So this involves the chemical formulations that we use to make up plant-based materials. It also involves how we process them into consumer products and looking into how they break down in a safe and non-toxic manner. Okay, great. And you have, I'm really excited to have you guys on the show and you guys have had so much success. Like when we talked about Nexie Innovations first, it was under a dollar pre-IPO, around 40 cents. And today it hit a high of $5. Incredible. Like within two months, it's been an absolute rocket. So now that we have you back on the show and we have a member from Nexie back on the show, I'm excited to have you here. Can you tell us why you guys have been killing it in the market so much since we got a chance to talk about the company last time? And give me a rundown on some recent milestones hit and how you are shaking up in the plant-based product sector. Absolutely. So I think that one of the reasons why the market's been so excited about us is because people are recognizing that this is a product, our coffee pod product, which is what we launched earlier last month, that the market really badly needs. So more than 40 billion single-serve coffee pods are sold every year and virtually none of them are biodegradable or compostable or recycled. And so what we've created is a solution that is compostable and plant-based and good for the planet. So people are excited about it. And I think there is an understanding that this technology is set to really disrupt the industry. So to talk a little bit about milestones, we've had a really exciting past two months. Some of the most recent things that we've gone through involve, first of all, some best-in-class composting studies for our coffee pods. So we've shown that they break down in municipal composting in under 10 weeks, which is fantastic. We're really excited about those. We've also completed our first product launch. So our in-house superfoods brand Zoma launched just a past couple of weeks ago and sold out at the same day. We sold out of our entire inventory in one day. Wow. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. So that's gone really, really well. And we also received a million dollar grant from the government of Canada to support the commercialization of this technology. So it has indeed been an action packed a couple of weeks. You guys also announced some amazing news about taking your current infrastructure that you have in place for creating plant-based coffee pods. And now you're disrupting the personal protective equipment sector with a plant-based mask and other PPE materials. Can you go through that for us and how it's much needed game changer with everything that's going on right now with the COVID-19? Absolutely. So our five years of R&D into the coffee pod sector led us to develop quite a few patents and quite a few really interesting technologies that we quickly learned were needed in other industries as well. So coffee pods is one sector we're very motivated to disrupt. But we recently became aware that the number of masks being sold, disposal masks, is greater than a hundred billion a month. Wow. A million a month. Yeah. It's an absolutely insane figure due to the COVID-19 pandemic. And these are also similarly non biodegradable, non-compostable plastic. And so they're just going to persist in landfill for hundreds or thousands of years. So what we learned was when we connected some dots, we realized that we could use the technology we developed in service of the coffee industry to actually tackle this at the moment larger problem in PPE. And so we've begun the development of a compostable mask. And so what we've been doing over the past several weeks leading up to today's announcement is bringing together the right partners to work with us in PPE production, in healthcare, and in the manufacturing of non-woven biopolymers. And so we're hoping you're going to hear more about that in the weeks to come. Okay, Zach, would you say that you're ahead of your competitors for market share in the space right now? So what I would say is that we launched our first product just about two weeks ago and sold out of that inventory immediately. And we're taking a phased launch approach to kind of test the waters and see how consumers interact with our product and to gauge demand. So right now demand has been extremely robust and we're aiming to scale up to tens of millions of coffee pods sold per year by end of 21 or into 2022. Wow, that's incredible. If there was one thing you would want shareholders to know about Nexie innovations, what would it be? It would be that we're not just a coffee pods company. So this is, we have transformed our business model from one that just makes and produces coffee pods to one that makes and produces innovative plant-based materials technologies and applies them to sectors of need where plastic waste is really a problem. So we are absolutely committed to launching our pods business and scaling that into the tens or even hundreds of millions of units per year in sales. But we'll also be applying these technologies that we've spent a lot of time and money developing to other sectors as well. And we'll be sharing that with the market in the months to come. Wow, I'm excited to see what's going to come next. You guys have already been a huge success story to imagine what could be coming is kind of mind boggling. If there was a way for an investor to get in contact with the company, if somebody that's watching this wants to learn more about the company, wants to learn about potentially doing work with the company, maybe wants to do a joint venture, an LOI, maybe interested in investing, what's the best way for those people that are watching to get in contact with the company? We'd be very excited to have anyone watching reach out. You can find all the contact details on our website. Our investor relations team will respond promptly. We deal with both retail investors, institutional investors, and business partners all the time. And we look forward to hearing from you. Well, super excited to have you on the show today.
