Hey, this is Brett, and this 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500 Double Cab Short Box is stock number 13127Z. I am here at Summit Automotive in Vondellac, Wisconsin, your new and used heavy-duty truck headquarters. This 2017 Chevy Silverado has the 6-liter V8 gas engine. This truck has been fully-safetyed and inspected by our service shop per the state of Wisconsin inspection process, has a fresh oil and filter change that the fluids have been checked and topped off, and this truck is 100% ready to go. I'm going to go all the way around inside underneath, start it up, and take a look under the hood in this video. Siren red metallic is the color. I shoot all my videos in 4K, so if you have HD capabilities on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or television, I highly recommend turning them on right now because it is your best way to check out the quality, condition, options, and cleanliness of the vehicle before seeing it in person because these are used vehicles. And if you like the video on how I do things here at Summit Auto, you can subscribe to my YouTube channel, and then click the bell notifications and you'll get updates every time I do videos of the new and used inventory here at Summit Automotive. This one comes with the 18-inch chrome alloy rims, and it has Michelin LTX tires. These are LT26570R18s, and they have right around half the tread left on them, so good tread left on those tires. Frame and underbody is in very nice condition. This is a one owner, clean title history, clean car facts out of New York. Projector lamp headlamps and factory fog lights. Front bumper is in fantastic condition. I didn't see any dents or dings on there. Looks really good. The chrome-trimmed grille and the lower valance is in nice shape as well. I did not see any dents or dings on the hood. That looks really good. And the cab lights up top are a nice feature as well. Passenger side front fender looks really good. No dents or dings in the passenger side rim. No major scuffs or scrapes. Siren red tint coat, it's got just a little bit of metal flake to it. Not hard to get it to focus there, there you go. Looks pretty good. Just a little bit of metal flake. As you go down this side of this 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500, take note of how clean that body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. I take these HD videos so if you are far away or even if you're close by and you just cannot make the trip down, but you're still interested in purchasing the truck, you can see the truck, hear the truck and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here. So when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises and you can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. And if this video helps you make that decision, let your salesmen know that you saw the video, that it was helpful and that Brett sent you. And then I can keep making these videos. Back tires have just as much tread as the front tires, maybe just a hair bit less but still really good tread left on there. Framing on your body is exceptionally clean. I didn't see any corrosion, which is strange for a 2017 Chevy, normally they got just a little bit on the welds and stuff. Anyways, air lift, I believe that's air lift, air lift, air bake, suspension and back. And look how clean that frame is, just a little dust, but no corrosion. It's like that all the way underneath, must never drive it in winter. The rockers, cab corners all look really good. It does have the factory chrome step bars. Pass in your side box, looks really good. No dents or dings. And as we come around to the back, rear bumper is in excellent shape. It does have the rear bumper parking, or I'm sorry, the rear bumper steps and the full towing package, which includes the receiver hitch four pin and seven pin wiring. The tailgate is in very nice condition as well. It does have a locking tailgate and a backup camera right there. It has the shock down assist, so it's never going to slam on you. And this one does have the B&W gooseneck hitch in the back, drop in bed liner. And that bed liner goes on to the tailgate as well.  And I didn't see any dents or dings on this box side. This room is in excellent shape. No scuffs or scrapes or corrosion. And down the rest of the side of the truck, doors and cab all look really good. Does come with the telescopic tow mirrors, built in directional signals, LED side lights, with the telescope out like so, and fold in like that. Inside, the LT1 package gives you the black cloth interior, 4020, 40 split bench seating in the front. No rips or tears on the seats. They are in very nice condition. Power driver seat and factory all-weather floor mat smells very clean inside this truck. Auto headlamps turned out a four-wheel drive and factory brake controller, power windows, power locks, and power mirrors. I don't think it's ever been smoked in. As we come around to the back, back seats, just as clean as the front seats, no rips or tears back here. It does have the latch, child safety system for any child car seats you may have, fixed glass rear window with the built-in rear defrost. These seats do fold up for extra storage and you can see just how clean the carpeting and all-weather floor mats are back here as well. This truck does come with side curtain airbags, and the bottoms of the doors all look really good on this vehicle. We'll hop inside, check out the miles, the radio, and everything that this truck has to offer on the interior. This one has 23,351 miles, and you do get the digital speedometer, compass display, instrument cluster is nice and clean and clear. Has the leather-wrapped steering wheel, cruise controls on the left, Bluetooth and information center controls on the right. You do get the six-speed automatic transmission with the optional tap shift. This one comes with the Chevy MyLink radio. It does have AM, FM, and Sirius XM radio capabilities on here. There's your Sirius and this one doesn't have the nav, but it does have projection manager. We can project your cell phone to the screen via Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. So if you have a nav system on your cell phone, project it to the screen and it's like you have nav right on the screen, so that's pretty sweet too.  For your cargo lamps, that's also how you turn on those LED side lights on the mirrors. And down here, excuse me, down here you get a 12-volt PowerPoint and then a 110-volt, 150-watt plug-in. You can see the carpeting and passenger side format are in excellent condition as well. No rips or tears on that passenger seat, that's in nice shape. And the headliner is in really nice condition too. Like I said, I don't think this truck's ever been smoked in. It does have the snow plow prep package, you get map lights up there as well and on-star and SOS buttons in that rear view mirror. We'll start it up and take a look under the hood. Starts right up, no check engine lights or anything like that. There are those LED side lights, they are extremely bright. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today and hopefully from this HD video you will have been able to verify the quality, condition options and cleanliness of this truck all the way around. All the lights are working nicely and under the hood, we have the 6-liter V8 gas engine engine base, very clean runs, very smooth. Once again, this truck has been fully safe and inspected by our service shop per the state of Wisconsin inspection process. It has a fresh oil and filter change, all the fluids have been checked and topped off and this truck is 100% ready to go. There is your emission sticker and I would highly recommend this truck from a quality and condition standpoint. I don't think you'll find a 2017 with a frame that's this clean with this kind of miles on it, especially one from New York and see more pictures of this truck or one of our other 450 new and used cars, trucks, SUVs, minivans, wranglers, halftones, recoder tons, one-tons. You name it, we've got to go to that website right there, summitauto.com, full pictures and descriptions of every single vehicle from two locations all at summitauto.com and if you'd like to check out more HD videos you can go to youtube.com slash summitauto.

tiger. Financial News Network. Update. Okay, folks, we're back and we are the Fed did something and I don't know if they've done very much. The stock market didn't do too much, but basically that's what we're looking at right now. The Dow is being doing very little at all. The gold's had its minor rally not very much at all. The only thing it's really reacting is the U.S. dollar versus the Japanese yen has just gotten creamed really bad. It's dropped 100 pips here in just a very, very short period of time. The euro has exploded to the upside, also a big deal. So all these things are telling us that, wow, there's something going on here that may or may not mean something. So we're going to find out whether it does or not. And that's basically what we're looking at as we're watching these things here unfold here today. So anyway, those are just a few of the things that we're looking at here. So let's, oh, just a second here, boys and girls, I've got to, I got to get into the program here. Oh my gosh, it's jumping around so much. I got to jump, jump, jump, jump, bada bing, bada boom. Let's see what's going on here. Okay, we're selling off. Oh, we're rallying back up again. That's what we want to see. We want to see the market have a pretty good rally and that's exactly what we're seeing. And we got the Dow Jones up about 35. That's not doing too much.  But that's pretty much where we are so far. In fact, it's jumping so much I can hardly even get a get a quote in. So that we'll just take a quick look at these things and see how they see how they end up in here as we look at these things running around. I have I have posted a chart here several times that this is to me the most important day since October, excuse me, March the 5th of 2009. And that is because of this chart that I'm going to put in the den here. And then I'll cover it. I will also have Stan Harley is going to help us do the next show. Also, he's got some really good stuff, folks, that you're not going to get anyplace else. But you'll see here there's the Nasdaq has been made a 382 retracement of that number. So we're going to find out if in fact that's going to mean anything or not. I don't know, but we're going to certainly find it out for sure. And we're going to take a break, folks. We'll be right back. This will be the second section of the trade. What you see, I'm going to go through it again with everybody so they can, you know, see whether it's going to be anything to mean anything or not. We're going to find out quite shortly. The reality


the legs at Britain was grabbing his hamstring was it indeed is hamstring and how bad do you think it is. We'll know tomorrow you know we'll know whether it's a cramp whether it's a strain whatever but yeah it wasn't the hamstring area. And then with Hermione obviously got off to a very slow start what were you seeing from him in that first inning. Yeah I thought you know it took a minute to get a secondary going a little bit non-competitive early with the secondary and then miss some spots with this fastball again. You know I thought stuff wise he was fine and in line with with what he is when he's really good. And then I thought he got going he started settling in found his breaking ball a little bit start looking at the fastball a little bit better but but obviously a little bit of a tough start there for him. Were you okay with the or shall I send with nobody out in the fourth inning there. Yeah. I mean obviously that wasn't you know you know we probably got to hold them up there. You know. Fills as good as it gets over there at third base. And you know so but probably you know in that spot a little bit too aggressive of a send but you know there's no one I'd want over there you know coach and third than Phil and but it was probably a little aggressive considering you know as well as Renfrow obviously throws the ball.  And I don't know how good a look you got at Hermione's error in the in the fourth but it seems like maybe he still had time to throw him out. Renfrow out but then held on to it. Did you get a feel for that. Yeah. It's just you know pretty simple play. You know first even after the bubble you know still plenty of time there and I just don't think he had a good grip on the ball and you know fear probably thrown it away at that point. So you know that's that's an area of the Mingo's game that you know we got to continue to work hard at and and get better at. Thank you. Yeah. Go to Dan Martin Aaron. Yeah it's for game only for games but it's for four losses against the Red Sox. How tough is that to start off the season series with with your rivals like that. Considering where you are in the standings. I mean I don't know how you want me to answer that question. We got it. We got a big one tomorrow. We got to come out and grab it. You know we got to you know obviously we're going to be the team we're going to we expect to be. We got to we got to play better against the top teams in the division. Marley Rivera please unmute. Hi Aaron. Obviously tough defensive game out there on the field. Were you surprised and also if you can give us an evaluation of how McGee and judge didn't know. Thank you. I thought McGee and judge were good especially judge judge had some you know you know not overly you know hard where he's running into a gap but a couple of you know balls hit really hard at him where he had to retreat a little bit and he's so fundamentally sound out there you know we see him all the time obviously in right but I thought he made a couple of plays look relatively seamless out in center field tonight. You know and obviously not handling the comeback or you know you know outside of that I mean yeah and that obviously end up costing us a run. We can go to Greg Joyce for the next question. Aaron I know you said you would know more tomorrow about Britain but just how frustrating it is an injury like that for him you know considering all that he's already been through this year. Yeah certainly you know hopefully it's it's nothing too serious we'll have to see but yeah definitely some you know feel for Britain that spot knowing what he's been through to get back in and I thought tonight you know probably throwing the ball as well as we've seen him I thought he was really crisp. I thought it was coming out really nice the sink. You know through some good sliders especially the Devers there. So you know we'll see what we have tomorrow. But yeah certainly feel for him. Brendan Cuddy you have the next question. And you discussed the improving back quality at that quality last week or so not a whole lot of offense beyond the second inning tonight aside from the late rally. How did you judge the offense. Yeah I mean I thought our bats were OK. You know they did a good job in those middle innings there obviously their bullpen coming in and neutralizing us. You know Salamora Whitlock and Otto were all really good and kind of held us down a little held us at bay and we didn't mount a whole lot. But but still up and down I thought there were some good at bats from from everyone we gave a gave ourselves a chance there against their closer there in the ninth and just obviously couldn't break through. But yeah, you know I still feel like the offense is is in a pretty good spot moving forward. Any considerations are having Clint Bunt there with the 2 guys on and now now Dan Martin back to you. Aaron had geotested himself pretty well on that in field single on the ninth. He was OK when you when you've been transformed. He was you know I thought he was you know not you know probably not quite 100% Geo but but I thought was was getting around OK. I just you know decided there in the ninth you know with with Barnes being a little slow to the plate that maybe it's a situation where you know if there's a stolen base opportunity to guys moved up there or you know with one out there if there's a base hit in a situation where you know guard you can score maybe waiter can get the third base there you know with less than 2 outs. I just felt like it's probably the right time to to run the second guy.


All of them. This place is going to the dogs. Sounds like I heard we could.


What's going on guys, welcome to a new video. So in this one, I want to talk to you about the number one thing, the hardest thing that you will have to overcome when it comes to running a Shopify drop-shipping business. It's something that I'm yet to hear anybody else in fact talk about, but it's really important and will make the difference between a business that fails and a business that succeeds. And what I'm talking about is trust and this is trust with your customers. So back in the day, I say back in the day when I first started six years ago, the amount of people drop-shipping was a lot less and the amount of people advertising on Facebook was a lot less. So what this basically meant was that customers were less accustomed to a higher quality business or a higher quality ad and therefore the standards weren't as high. So to give you a self-example of this, if we take a look at this product page here I've removed the logo but it's from my very first Shopify store. I've documented this in past YouTube videos so I won't give you the entire story now but this is the product page that essentially made me my first 100,000 pounds. Going through this today, just to point out some of the things that you just wouldn't get away with by today's standards and how competitive things are today. Number one is the price. Ignore the fact that this has the debutify theme on it back then it was called just the debut theme. The free original theme from Shopify was called debut. This is the paid debutify theme which I've installed because I was doing some examples for tutorials and things but basically this is in essence the product page that made me my first 100,000 pounds. So just to go through the sorts of things that you just wouldn't get away with today is number one, the product price. To sell a product for 10 pounds in today's climate certainly on Facebook is gonna be really difficult to do because it would mean acquiring customers for around five pounds which you used to be able to do sort of five, six years ago, at least for me today it's impossible to do. Number two is the product images. They're just terrible, like this one here is just a generic stock image from an AliExpress supplier with a blue background which has absolutely no relevance. They're also different size images so they're jumping up and down the page just not very professional at all. And then the next thing as well which is quite shocking actually, it actually shocks myself when I first saw this because I haven't seen this page in such a long time and it was just so basic. So at the top, free shipping on all orders. I always struggle to keep a dog in one place while traveling in the car. So kind of in its essence, the strategy is still the same today. However, it's just a more improved and more kind of methodical strategy that actually works today. The same sort of information but the way you put it across and the way your customers consume it is gonna be slightly different. But as we can see, really basic. There's no pictures of actually how this works. No pictures of it actually on a dog's harness or in a car. There's no gifts to engage the customer and keep them on. They're really kind of amateurish and colorful trust badges and there's with 30 day money back guarantee at the bottom of the page. There's no products reviews either. So it was a lot easier five or six years ago drop shipping and you still can make drop shipping work today. I don't wanna be a deterrent for anybody watching this video. You 100% can and you can get results super fast. You just have to do things differently. And the biggest thing for me over those years that has changed is that trust hurdle which we now have to get over. And the reason for this in my opinion is because as more and more people have started to drop ship and drop ship with such low standards and not fulfill their orders and customers have been burnt. They've had their fingers burnt and lost their money. Customers nowadays are a lot more savvy to shopping online and they're a lot more cautious as well.  So in this video I'm gonna go through seven different things that you must be doing to help do that, to overcome those barriers that the customers have to make them trust you because ultimately if somebody doesn't trust you and your business, they're not gonna give you their credit card information. They're not even gonna buy through you using PayPal. They're just gonna leave your website and try and find your product elsewhere. So number one is that Facebook ads are just too generic. Too many people are using really basic platforms like Vial, Ecom ads or just taking existing content from other drop shipping businesses or other suppliers on AliExpress. Now whilst you still can do that and make it work you need to include that as well as add to it. And when I say add to it I mean mainly having real people human beings, faces, people talking in your Facebook ads. If you can get somebody talking in those first few seconds with your product in hand, in vision on screen and talking about the product show and how the product works, there's gonna greatly increase the engagement rate. It's gonna greatly increase how long the video ad people watch it and it's gonna greatly increase the amount of people who click it and also trust you because if there's a real person in an actual ad and not just different kind of scenes of what looks like stuck footage and just random music with captions if there's an actual real person then your business looks more professional and it looks more legitimate and therefore people are gonna trust you. You can also implement this strategy on your website using a tool called Placeit. If you go to placeit.net I'm not affiliated with them. It's just genuinely a great tool. I pay for it myself and I use it quite a lot. So this is point number two is to use placeit.net. What you can do, I'll put on the screen now just kind of like a quick summary of what you can do. There's all these different designs and things you can do up top. Basically what you do is you upload your logo and you can put your logo on many different things. And one of those things is t-shirts. So on your homepage you could have an image coming up to Christmas like these two people here and it could be t-shirts with your logos on and you could give across the kind of representation that this is your customer service team and you can contact them or should you wanna contact our business and then link to your Contact Us page. But just by having real people on your website lets people know there's real people behind the business. It's a professional business and they will trust it. Leading on from this, you've gotta have your contact information on your store as well. Gotta have a contact form. Gotta have an email address, a custom email address, a branded email address that matches your website. So yourwebsite.com. So it could be support at yourwebsite.com. Hello at, info at, whatever it may be. Gotta have a phone number. Don't worry about pointing your mobile number. You can, there's services out there. If you do a search for a business telephone number you can get them very cheaply. You haven't gotta sit by the phone all day long either. You can have it go straight to answer phone with a pre-recorded message saying we're busy right now, leave a message and we'll get back to you. You should also have a physical address, in my opinion.  You've got a physical premises where you run your business operations from. And again, it just comes across as more professional and more legitimate. If you're a registered business as well, put your registered business number on there.  Done everything by the book proper and real.  And again, that will just all translate into more trust from the customer. And again, it will separate you from all of the other competition too. It'll be a breath of fresh air, trust me. The amount of people that I see that don't do these basic things that I'm going through in this video, when somebody does come across your store, they'll just feel so much more ease and relaxed. And like I said, it'll be a breath of fresh air for most people. Number five is your delivery times. Don't hide them and don't lie about them either. If it's gonna take one to two weeks, the report is gonna take one to two weeks. If you're upfront and honest with your customers, they won't have any problem about it.  But be upfront and honest about it rather than try and hide it. Any unanswered questions like that, the customer isn't gonna hang about to find out the answers.  Next, we have engagements and comments on Facebook posts. Now, obviously this can be a difficult one to build up in the beginning, but what you can do is you can run engagement campaigns on Facebook to very quickly build up those likes and love hearts and those sorts of reactions. And then what you need to do is you need to gather all of your friends and family, send them some pictures of the product and get them to post pictures of that product and say how happy they are with it on your posts, on your Facebook ads so that when other people come across them, it looks like to them they're real customers and in turn it's gonna look like they're your past customers that have received the product and are happy with it. Obviously, do not use this strategy to mislead people. Make sure you're running a legitimate professional business and fulfill on your promises. Number seven is having a really strong guarantee on your website. Now, don't just go for the boring, generic, 30 day guarantee like everybody else does. I've been reading a book recently, rereading it, I've read it once already. It is called $100 million offers by Alex Hormozzi. It's a brilliant book. One of the strategies he talks about in there is having a custom guarantee but naming it really something quite peculiar or something personal or something memorable from the visitor. So when the visitor reads it, they can be like, oh, that's different and they're actually gonna remember it and the studies that he talks about actually shows that increased the conversions for his business. So do this on your website. An example of this is if you're selling dog toys for Labradors or German Shepherds, it could be instead of just a 30 day guarantee, it could be an anti-destruction German Shepherd guarantee for 30 days or 30 day anti-destruction or just word it in such a way. So one that I've used in the past is a swim with sharks guarantee. And what that would be is that if the customer wasn't willing to swim with sharks to keep our products, we would just refund them their full amount, no questions asked. And what we found in our businesses was it really helped because they've never ever seen that guarantee elsewhere. It's having a bit of fun and it makes it more memorable. What it also shows is confidence in the product too. If we're willing to bet that somebody would be happy to swim with sharks just to keep our product, it shows that we're really confident ourselves in our product. And again, it just helps with building that trust with our customers. And so with that being said then guys, that is the seven top tips for helping overcome that hurdle of making your customers trust you or making your visitors more importantly trust you so that they then become customers. Make sure you put these tips into action. They'll definitely make a difference for your business. And when they do, make sure you come back and let me know too. I always love to hear from people after they've implemented information in my videos and let me know how it helps you. Thanks for watching guys. Don't forget to subscribe if you enjoyed the content.

Welcome folks, this is Tom O'Brien of TFNN. We have five days a week. We go seven hours a day. We go 24 hours a day on the internet at TFNN.com. Always remember folks, whatever you think about, you bring about whatever. You focus on growth. Hope everyone's having a great day, safe day. It's a TGIF and we're kicking into the 4th of July folks and let's make it a great one. Always do your best. Take action on your ideas. Doing your best to mean take action on your ideas. You have many great ideas in your head but without action upon an idea there'd be no manifestation, no results, and no reward. And thank God the founding fathers took action on their idea. You're gonna love it. Make it a rise! Let's take a look at it out here. We have the Dow Industrial's Up 209, NASDAQ Up 44, S&P's Up 21, Gold Contract Up Dollar, and 1808, Silver. Down 55 cents, $19.80 cents an ounce, Platinum. Off 20 bucks, 875 an ounce, Light Sweet Crude. Up $2.59 cents, traded 108.34, the notes and bonds. A 10-year note, up one tick, up one point rather, trading at a price point of 119.18, 30-year, up a full point, plus six ticks at 139.26 and King Dollar. King Dollar's up by 434 ticks, trading 105, 118, Euro at 104, yen at 135.25 and the British pound at 120 to one US Dollar. Our phone number's<PHONE_NUMBER>. Give us a call, folks. Want to know what's going on in your world, in the world of the S&P's? Let's take a look at it. What do you have? Well, the bottom line, folks, is that we kick into the holiday. We come down yesterday with volume, we go up today with light volume, bottom line. That's the whole deal about building cars for lower price, okay? So yesterday you could go south at 112 million, you go up today with 51 million. That's in your spy. And you're, excuse me, folks, in your three cues, what you have out here is that you're up 81 cents yesterday, we go south with 79 million today, you go north with 43. Bottom line, you still got the ABC structures on the way down. I expect those are gonna get hit. Gold, this is really intriguing what happened with gold out here this morning. So they smoke gold in a monster way. Gold basically gets down to, well, basically it gets down to 1783, was trading down all night. And then guess what? You know, 820 in the morning is when the pit opens and so the folks in the pit decided, hey man, I'll buy gold at this 1783. They took the bait, they bought it, that being said, folks, see that number up there? 232,000 contracts, not a good number. Why? Because that's a high volume loan now. And when you actually take a look at this, if you're watching Tiger TV right now, you're gonna see that all this is done. You know, bottom line, we had made it up to 1826 yesterday and it's coming right up to Iceman. Ice is laying out right here at about the 1813 level and we got to 1810. Silver, we gotta look at the silver one because, ah, let's see. Because what has happened here, they really took silver, that's what happens. I mean, the bottom line, SI, SI, let me see this. What is this active contract? Come on, baby. Well, I'll take this contract. This is not the active, but I'll take it anyway. Okay, so let's see what this thing broke. Whoops. Come on. Okay, so this baby here, ooh. Okay, so I gotta go SI one. I gotta get the generic contract on silver. And you know, bottom line is that gold has been stronger than silver. But that being said, we wanna see what this is going into. Okay, so, okay, I see.  We hit 1926. Well, silver's gonna get back inside 2141. This baby wants to get down into that 1794 level. Pretty intense. Now, let's go to the 10-year. Because what we have out here, you get a bounce going in the 10-year and the 30-year. We did 189,000 contracts. Not a lot of contract volume, but this is the time that you do a bounce. There's no doubt, man. So your next leg here is 12019. You hit 12004. The volume's not bad. You know, we took out a B point, but it's not gonna be an ABC up because the B point had 2.2 million contracts and you're at 189 right now. If we go take, let's go take a look at the TLT. That's the, the TLT is the 20-year plus now. The TLT, that goes, yeah, there you go. That goes up. See how light the volume is there on the TLT? Bottom line, you're coming into 28 million, doing 17 million, that's on the daily. Let's put this on the weekly. Yeah, so the weekly, you're coming up to a swing. I mean, the TLT can get to like 119, maybe. Yeah, I can. Hold it. Let's look at this. Yeah, this is the small ABC up. Depends on whether that came. Give me one second here. I just wanna see if this, it actually probably retraced too much for that. But it did take a swing out on a weekly with volume. The last, we took out was 25 million versus 20. So if it is, let's see, that's 108. You got seven, it's 118.  There's somewhat relief. But guess what, folks? Alls you have to do, there's a million different analysts on a continual basis. And this particular case is a million analysts coming out saying, okay, you've seen the worst rates in this, what I would do, folks, okay, just look at the Fed funds rate. The Fed funds rate, okay, is 1.50 to 1.75. Well, the Fed's telling you that it's going to basically three. So the bottom line is that we're not even close to where the Fed is going.  It's like, oh really? Yeah, well, you evidently have not seen how inflation can wreck everything. And no one's immune from inflation, folks, okay? If you think you're immune from inflation and you're sitting pretty, you're not. We're all gonna be affected any months away. It just steals your money like this. Whoops it out! Stay right there, folks, come right back. Dow Industrial's up 274 and as like up 65, S&P's up 30, come right back.

Today I wanted to take some time to answer more in-depth one of the more common questions I get from viewers of the channel is Hey DT, why don't you use BSD? Because people really want to know why I use Linux on my main production machine here at the office and on my home computer You know, why am I a good news slash Linux user? Why haven't you moved to BSD yet?  I understand why people ask this question, but I Mean, I'm one of those people obviously a lot of people see me as a more advanced user a power user And I tend to dive pretty deep into various topics For example text editors, right? I started using Vim a few years back and then I progressed even deeper than that going into Emacs And these are really nerdy deep kinds of Topics here Vim and Emacs it is seen as something that is difficult to learn something really difficult to master And a lot of people think that me and other power users like this We often do these things more for a challenge more for looking cool in the public side You know, we're trying to get style points. That's why we use this hard stuff It's because you know, it's like we're crack addicts, right? And then in this case, we're addicted to just using really hard stuff is because we're I don't know some kind of self Massacist, right? We just we just enjoy the pain, but that's actually not the case Again, I think a lot of people that don't use these kinds of tools like Vim and Emacs and tiling window managers And you know the command line and things like that these really nerdy topics You know the power user kind of tools, you know, they imagine that you know, we're just doing this Just for the pain just or just to look cool But that's not actually the case. I use all of this stuff because it's the best tool for the job So why don't I use BSD? Because the BSD operating systems are not as good as good news slash Linux That is the only reason I don't use BSD on my main production machine It's not for any kind of ideological reasons or anything like that GNU slash Linux is free and open-source software the BSD operating systems are all free and open-source software as well So ideologically Morally, I have absolutely no issues with BSD. I Could use BSD, right? If I didn't do what I do as far as making all of this video content and stuff like that I know a ton of people are gonna watch this video and say well I use open BSD and net BSD or whatever, you know, BSD operating system you're using on your machine But you're not doing what I'm doing, right? You have some very basic needs on a computer and I get that and if that's working for you keep using it, right? I'm not ever going to tell people what operating system they should run I will say that the kinds of software that you should try to run are free and open-source Software, right? So I want people to use free and open-source operating systems And if one of the BSD operating systems is right for you, hey, man, keep using it, right? Keep doing it now for me I would be making my life Extremely difficult by switching away from Linux to BSD because mainly hardware support The Linux kernel supports practically every piece of hardware known to man, right? It's the best operating system kernel on the planet bar none The BSD kernels and they all have a different kernel, right? So the free BSD kernels probably gonna be the best one as far as hardware support and it's miles behind Linux I mean it's so far away from Linux. It's not even close Software availability as well a lot of the software I use on Linux will not be available on any of the BSD operating systems So I would be sacrificing a lot of what I do, you know, a lot of what I do currently as far as my workflow and making Videos a lot of what I do with video a lot of what I do with audio I couldn't do on any of the BSD operating systems I would really be sacrificing like the quality of my channel really to move to one of the BSD operating systems Why would I do that? Right? If I'm gonna give up so much to move from Linux to BSD Well, what's the payoff? What's the trade-off? I gotta if I'm gonna give up something I hope that I'm gonna get something in return, right? And no, there's really no trade-off You know, I'm gonna give up a whole lot and I'm not gonna get anything in return when I get to the BSD operating systems You know other than I guess if I was one of these elitist arrogant kind of people that I Tried to validate myself by using really hard pieces of software Then I guess it would be a positive to say hey, man I'm a BSD user and now I can lord over those peasants that are still running Linux But again, I'm not one of those type of people. I don't care what people think about the software I use I never have that's not the reason I use tiling window managers. That's not the reason I use arch Linux You know, I use these things emacs the reason I use these pieces of software is because it's the best tool For the jobs that I'm trying to do right and if BSD was the best tool for the job I'd gladly move to it one day. They'll probably get there and when they do I'll give them a try. I may install them on my main production machine things like that But right now it's not even it's nowhere close and that's okay It's that's not throwing shade on any of those operating systems. I'm happy the BSD operating systems are around I'm also happy that we have other free and open source operating systems around like haiku and React OS and I've actually done some videos some install and first impressions of these various operating systems like the free BSD Operating system and haiku and react OS. I have taken a look at some of the BSD's on camera ghost BSD True OS back in the past before it died a PC BSD back in the past before it died So it's not like I'm anti BSD I just can't use it on my main production machine for what I do and of course I'm making this video because a lot of people imagine that maybe I don't give BSD a lot of coverage or a Lot of love here on the channel because I'm some kind of BSD hater I've been accused of that which is a little strange because I never talk about BSD So like how can I be a hater like it's a topic that almost never comes up anywhere on my channel But apparently I must be a hater because I use Linux. Well, not not necessarily. I actually I really don't care about Linux I don't care about BSD and I really don't care about Windows. I don't care about Mac OS this channel these videos I make I are really not about operating systems I made this channel to promote free and open source software, right and both Linux and BSD are free and open source Software so in my eyes they are equal as far as from a moral standpoint, right? Linux BSD both free and open source operating systems They're fantastic and in my eyes both of them for that But at the end of the day, which one will I use I'm gonna use the one that's right for me And you should use the one that's right for you I've also been asked, you know, do I have a problem with the BSDs because of licensing because everyone knows I'm a pretty big fan of the GPL the GNU public license and I do love the GPL I tried to license a lot of my stuff under the GPL But again at the end of the day, I promote free and open source software and free and open source software is Pretty much anything that's licensed under the GPL or the BSD license It counts as a free and open source license or the MIT license the Apache license the Mozilla public license the MPO Those are the five big ones, right? So anything under those licenses, it's free and open source software Now I prefer the GPL among those licenses, but they all count as free and open source software So again from a moral standpoint BSD license is okay in my opinion I run plenty of software on my GNU slash Linux system that is licensed under the BSD license or the MIT license So it's it's not like it's evil in terms of it's not proprietary Software, right? They're all free and open source licenses So that's not a or issue for me as far as you know the licensing for BSD and some people have asked if maybe I had a problem with some of the BSD communities. I typically don't interact a lot with communities online because of my status here You know having this rather popular YouTube channel, right? I'm a well-known quantity and you know once you have a pretty good following of people Then the haters and trolls just come out of the woodwork You're just constantly bombarded with people that just want to take shots at you. So I don't really hang out on any community I don't hang out on any Linux communities. You've never seen me, you know do anything in any Linux support form or hang out I don't hang out on discord and matrix anything like that is because I'm I would be a major distraction I really don't care about haters and trolls. You know what people say to me come at me with a tax It doesn't bother me But I don't want other people to have to deal with my haters and trolls So that I don't hang out in other communities because I don't want these innocent bystanders You know to catch a bullet that was intended for me and this is I don't hang out on any BSD communities So the BSD community I I don't know if it's a cool place a bad place I do know the probably the reason people asked this question is a few years ago I know there was a controversy with the free BSD guys where free BSD actually changed their code of conduct because they wanted to ban virtual hugs virtual hugs, I guess You know like sending people emojis of hugs and kisses, you know showing affection with these virtual hugs and kisses The free BSD guy said no that's akin to you know Unwanted sexual advancements on people and they forbid sending virtual hugs, which is rather ridiculous, right? Like every one there was a lot of backlash from that because everyone saw how ridiculous Needing to change of code of conduct to ban virtual hugs is but that doesn't bother me It's silly, but that wouldn't prevent me from being a free BSD user like I don't really care It's not an issue and to be honest That's the kind of issue that comes up in every community where you these days unfortunately, it's a sign of the times people So many people have this activist mindset where they're they want to be seen as changing the world Even if it means inventing a problem, that's not really there like this virtual hug problem, right? It's not like the world was going to implode one day because there were too many virtual hugs being sent out on the internet, right? But you know this person wanted to be seen as making some kind of important change in the world So, you know he targeted virtual hugs and that's okay, right? I mean at the end of the day and no one was hurt by those virtual hugs And nobody's really hurt by banning those virtual hugs now I know in the comments of this video many people are going to tell me the benefits of various BSD operating systems all things that are better on free BSD You know, you're gonna love the the networking stack on BSD rather than Linux That's great. If I worked on servers as a sysadmin or whatever. I'm a desktop computer user That's primarily what I do. So if I was a server administrator, yes, I would love BSD I'm not I know people are gonna The open BSD guys are gonna tell me that it's the most secure operating system in the world and you know If you really care about security then you should be using the open BSD operating system And I do care about security, but that their security comes at a price again hardware support software availability Yeah, I'm gonna have a really secure operating system that I can't do a lot of the stuff I want to do on so that's a trade-off. I can't make no other people will make and if it's a trade-off You can make hey again. I won't fault you for it But please don't fault me for making my decision either now. I mentioned I'm not really a Fan of Linux as much as I'm a fan of free and open-source software So what I would really love I would love all of these Non-Linux operating systems the free and open-source operating systems like free BSD and open BSD at haiku and reactos I would love for them to eventually get to the point where they are a real viable alternative To Gnu slash Linux to where you know I could just if I needed to one day drop Linux and move to one of these other operating systems and not miss a beat because I do worry right now With free and open-source operating systems. We really have one it's That's a serious contender to the proprietary operating systems and that's gonna slash Linux right now the BSD is not Anywhere close and haiku and reacto is and you know the really niche operating systems like that are decades behind and That makes me sad because I could envision a day Where Linux becomes unusable for whatever reason maybe they change the license One day Linux becomes proprietary. That's never gonna happen But you know whatever nightmare scenario into the world scenario, maybe because the code base so many millions of lines long You know, there's Gaping security holes in it one day that just makes it very very dangerous to use Linux I have to find something else and right now if that happened today if that happened today The best free operating system that isn't a good news slash Linux distribution is free BSD by far That's that's the best. That's the closest thing we have to Linux free BSD and it's so far behind right now That makes me sad because you know, I Fear that day happening and right now if it happened I'd have to sacrifice so much You know, I'd I do I would lose so much now to be fair if that day ever happened Free BSD would probably overnight have Thousands and tens of thousands of new developers because a lot of the people that worked on Linux would just move over to free BSD And it would quickly gain a lot of the hardware support a lot of software availability You know a lot of software ports would be written So it would get there pretty quickly, but it would be painful for a while But ultimately this rather lengthy rant video to answer this very simple question I mean this is this the answer to this question why I don't use BSD is simply, you know For what I do gnu slash Linux is better and that really is the answer But a lot of people ask this question over and over as one that comes up and a lot of people I think imagine the answer or All of these other things what I talked about today, you know things that have nothing to do with it BSD is free and open source software morally. I'm fine with it I have absolutely no issues becoming a BSD user at some point in the future. It doesn't bother me But right now gnu slash Linux is kind of where I have to be and right now I'm just I'm comfortable with it and I don't again I'm not one of these people that has to validate my existence through the software I use You know, I don't need to feel morally superior I don't I don't need to use free BSD or open BSD or whatever to make the Linux peasants feel bad To lord over them and say I'm a BSD user. Look at you. You're still running arch. Yeah, noob. Anyway ran over guys Peace


Hello friends, welcome back to another episode here on the channel. For those of you who are new to the channel, my name is Lee, also known as Osiris, with seven World Championship invites under my belt and a top eight finish as my best finish in the 2014 World Championships. And I'm going to take all this information that I've got from my time playing into today's episode. Well, we'll be playing a team that was suggested by one of you fine people. It was Poker Smash, who suggested a team based all around Gengor. So that's what we're going with today. We've got a few Pokemon that we don't regularly see in the new series seven format. We've put a team together around these Pokemon, and we're going to be playing them in today's episode. As you can see, the team that we'll be featuring today is going to be Gengor, Windsor Cut, Charizard, a Bisharp, a Riperia and a Dracovish. So we've got the G-Max Charizard. It's kind of going to be the centerpiece of the team. Now, the one thing I would say about the Gengor is that was a Pokemon that was requested, but it isn't really a Pokemon that you can build a team around. It's it's just there's too many Pokemon in the format at the minute that make it very difficult for Gengor to perform. But I believe it can perform very well in a specific niche role and with combinations like Bisharp that we've seen have good success in the past and then combine it with nice speed control and some other options here. I feel like the team can perform pretty well and it's going to be interesting to see how these maybe older faces in the format kind of perform in series seven. So as always, there will be a poker face down below in the description. There will be a rental code at the end of the episode, if you guys would like to try this team out. But if nothing else, it's going to be a little bit educational. It's going to be a little bit fun and it'll be nice to give G-Max Charizard a run out after not really saying too much of it in series seven. So without further ado, friends, let's get into our first one today. So up first, we've got a team of Urshifu, Raichu, Zaptos, Metagross, Regi Alecki and Tabakoko. Now, initially, you would think, OK, not the best team to see if you've got Charizard because obviously the Regi Alecki going to outspeed us and the Tabakoko going to outspeed us and cause us a lot of issues. And even with the tailwind, Charizard is not going to be able to get the jump on something like Regi Alecki. So speed control here is really important for us. And obviously the Alolan Raichu as well does take advantage of that electric train. But we do have Whimsicott to provide that tailwind support that we kind of can take advantage of. We also have Raipiri as well on this team with the choice band. And that can actually be a real asset to us. It can do a lot of damage to my opponent and cause my opponent all sorts of issues. Now, I think the big thing to realise here is that Whimsicott, if we lead it, my opponent is probably going to lead off with the Raichu and have that fake out support, which is going to mean that Whimsicott could get taken down early on, although they're going to have to lead something like the Glaring Zaptos or maybe maybe the Metagross to actually take the Whimsicott down. So I think we're not in a bad spot, but we're not in the greatest spot either. So I think what we'll do is we'll go Whimsicott, go Gengar, go Charizard and we'll go Raipiri because I feel like those four can kind of do a really good job against my opponent's team. It's going to be an interesting one, obviously, like with this team as well, it's not something I would jump on immediately as a competitive team. But it's got a lot of elements within the team that can work very well together. I think like the Whimsicott with the tailwind is probably something that is being used, but probably a bit overlooked at the minute. And I think something that can be very, very powerful in this current format. You know, that instant tailwind, the ability to actually taunt and shut down opposing Tornadus, which is probably the more reliable Pokemon that people are kind of leaning towards at the minute. So it's got a lot of it's got a lot of options that it can go for here. So we do see my opponent lead out with the Raichu and that Galarian Zapdos. We do have to worry about helping hand as well. But we do have the option where we can bring in Raipiri straight off the bat and we could go for an icy wind. The only issue going for an icy wind would be if we go for that, we'd proc the defiant ability on the Zapdos. And there's also the risk if we go for a shadow ball, we could lower the special defense on the Zapdos. So the best option for us here is going for that sludge bomb into the Zapdos or going for the shadow ball into the Raichu. But I think we'll opt for damage onto the Zapdos here. Not too worried about the Raichu. It could fire off a psychic into Gengor, but at the same time, I think you really want to be trying to mitigate the tailwind support here that we've got potentially coming out from the Whimsicot. We are going to see the Zapdos actually go for its max unless it is the Raichu. I think it is the Zapdos here. We'll probably see an airstream and that will be into our Raichu here. So I definitely expect fake out. That's the thing I would expect here because you want to remove the Whimsicot. Yep, we do get the sludge bomb off into the Zapdos. Not really doing too much, but hoping for that poison, which we don't get, unfortunately. And there's the airstream into Raichu, which we take pretty comfortably. Now, we do need to worry about the potential max knuckle coming out from the Zapdos this next turn. Which which definitely will be a bit of an issue, especially because we don't have protect on Riperia. The one option that we do potentially have is we can get Whimsicot back onto the field now and go for a shadow ball into the Raichu. Now, there could be a little bit of an issue here where my opponent kind of doesn't go for the max knuckle and decides to go for the airstream into the Gengor to try and get a bit more speed control. The issue is now they're going to get to plus two and that will match our tailwind, which makes it a little bit more difficult for us. Wow, we're going to see a surf from the Raichu, break sashes on everything, which isn't ideal. Cursed Body does disable the surf, which makes things a bit easier if we do want to get the Raiperia back onto the field. We're going to see a max darkness and it's going to be into that Gengor. OK, I mean, either way, it's not too bad because we don't see the speed boost there from the Zapdos. And it does open the door for us to get Charizard onto the field and that's a big thing what we want to do now. And my opponent's max turns are nearly gone. So the Charizard is going to be our like our pretty much a wincon in this one. So we're going to have to get a tailwind up. Right. I don't know if we're going to be able to get a sunny day up, but we will try. We'll try. And we probably want to go for just a protect here, I think. Yeah, we'll just go for a protect because what we can do the following turn is get right here onto the field and right here in the tailwind. It's going to be a lot of things on my opponent's team because we are very speedy right here and the combination of Charizard right here is a really good kind of board position for this team in particular. That's kind of what you'll kind of get the tailwind up and get those two next to each other on the field so you can choice band earthquake and then just heat wave or go for the G max attacks as well. So that's their nice options. You're going to see the Airstream is going to be into the Whimsicott here. So they are going to be able to match our speed control with the tailwind. But yeah, we don't take that, which is a little bit unfortunate, but not the worst. Like I say, it would be nice to be able to get the sunup to get that G max like the solar power boost, but it's not going to happen. Even with the Cobberberry, we just can't take that. But we do get right here onto the field and we do have lightning rod on it. So it means that the cursed body from that Raichu will come into effect and it's not going to be able to take us down with the surf. But the problem is that if we don't, I'd speed the Zapdos now with Charizard because I would imagine it is a speed tie. Then we are in a bit of trouble. So we'll go for the earthquake and we'll go for, do we max here? Or do we just go heat wave? I think we max now actually. We could go for an airstream or airstream. I think airstream is not a bad option because then whatever comes in, at least we've got kind of a speed advantage on them when the tailwind does end. Because the tailwind isn't ever going to end. We just need to win the speed tie here against the Zapdos. They got two airstreams up, so they're plus two. We've got the tailwind up, so we're plus two. And it's all going to come down to a coin flip. Hopefully Charizard can pull through and get the, get the win the speed tie. That will put a pulse right back into the game, 100%. We do, there we go. Okay, so that tailwind coming in super handy. There's Zapdos going down. We get the speed boost, which we'll put right here to plus three, which will definitely make us faster than that Raichu. And we'll be able to get an earthquake off, take that down, and then we're in an amazing position. And this is what I'm talking about before where we can get this board position. Wow, a period. Still not at speed in the Raichu on plus three. That's not ideal. We do see an expanded force, but that's, that's all right. We can deal with that. But Charizard going to be able to, it will add speed Regilecki now for sure. So depending on what my opponent has, or it's Metagross and Oshifu, we're like so fine with this. We just earthquake an airstream the Oshifu and it's pretty much done. Yeah, so this is quite a nice example. And we haven't really utilized the Charizard's fire type in as much as we wanted to. But I mean, yeah, getting rid of that front two, which did cause us a lot of issues. So fair play to my opponent there, but I mean that back two, and that's the kind of board position we keep referring to, you know, that's what we want to achieve throughout the game. It's that board position against certain teams. Obviously the team's got a lot of different mods, so we'll try and feature a few of those as we go on to our next one here as well. Okay, up next we have Glastria Spectria, Rotom Heat, Reggie Alecki, Oshifu and Clefairy. So we've got quite a few different things going on here. Obviously that the first thing that jumps out to me is the Spectria and the Clefairy lead because that is going to be very difficult to deal with. They're very difficult to manage just because that redirection there with the Clefairy that supports us, the Spectria that can do so much devastating damage. But on the one hand, it is a bit of an issue. The other hand, we have got Gengar and Bishop. Now if my opponent decides to lead Oshifu and Clefairy here, that becomes a little bit more tricky for sure, but we still have ways because what we want to really do is concentrate down and getting rid of the Clefairy first and then the rest of the team can come in and kind of deal with the other Pokemon there. I don't really feel like there's a trick or a mod per se on my opponent's team. The other thing we need to worry about a little bit is the Rotom Heat because that is going to be a big issue for Charizard. Now I think Charizard Ryperia again is going to be very good, but the problem is I think we might be better off going for something like Whimsicott up top. Oh, actually let's go. Let's go Gengar. Let's go Whimsicott. Let's go Charizard and let's go Ryperia. Yeah, let's go with that. I have to fit those four Pokemon in because I feel like we need the Ryperia here to deal with both the Regilecki, take away that kind of threat that it poses to the Charizard and also get rid of the Rotom Heat. Like without the Rotom, without the Ryperia here, we're kind of relying on Gengar and Gengar was probably a Pokemon that's going to go down very early in this game after we've utilised it for that speed control and things like that. So it gets pretty tricky quite early on. Okay, well, we do see Regilecki and the issue food for my opponent. I don't mind this too much because we've got the option to go for the tail wind straight away. And we could just go Icy Wind, which really just then enforces the fact that that Charizard could come on the field and really start doing some work. And I think that's not really a bad idea because then if we do lose Gengar, that's not the worst thing in the world. And again, we want to try and set that board position up for the late game. I mean, we could go for a Moonblast as well with Whimsicott, just Moonblast the Urshifu and Icy Wind and then Tailwind the next turn. It's not a bad option as well. We probably still lose Gengar here and potentially through, I think we got Tailwind this turn because we don't want to take a sucker punch and electro web, like we can take this but we'll get our Tailwind up now and then we can get our Icy Wind off. Hopefully, we might just lose Gengar. I know we do. Okay, this is perfect. And now Whimsicott gonna be in a nice position to take down the Urshifu the next turn if it is Sashed, which I don't know if it is. It might be Skaft, maybe Skaft. And there's the electro web. Okay, that's kind of mitigating Icy Wind, but we've got a Tailwind up, we're still plus two. Still in a great spot. Now we could bring in, I think we do bring in Charizard here and I think we switch, hard switch straight to Ryperia because what's my opponent gonna bring in like for the Urshifu? Probably the Rotom Heat, I'd imagine. So we could go for the G-Max Wildfire. Like that's an option, like G-Max Wildfire into Regi Alecki. Yeah, G-Max Wildfire into Regi Alecki and I think we've got Moonblast into Urshifu and that should deal with the Urshifu anyway. Sucker Punch is always gonna be an issue because we know that Urshifu is locked into it. So it makes sense, like we're gonna take an attack from it, whatever we do. We don't have like ally switch or redirection here to kind of get around that. So it's better if we remove the threat that, you know, so we don't get doubled into here. We're gonna take one attack at least. So we should be all right taking a Sucker Punch anywhere with Charizard. Yeah, there it is. The main thing is that we get the Wildfire off to get rid of the Regi Alecki now and then we start the G-Max Wildfire. The Moonblast should take down the Urshifu. And we'll just note that my opponent is ranked at the minute. I know it's early ladder, but they're ranked 51st on the ladder. So if we can clinch a win here, this is pretty good. And I think the team's performing pretty well. I think it's just having that understanding of maybe the hyper offensive nature of it and kind of making decisions where you get like one attack off or you get the alternate off. And each option is gonna pay off for you overall if you get what I mean. You're all gonna see Spectre and the Clefairy come in and we need to get rid of the Spectre. We need to go for the Sunny Day. Sunny Day, get the Solar Power gone because then if we do see redirection from the Whimsicott, at least then we're gonna be able to remove it from the field and we should probably not take a helping hand, Shadow Ball I don't think from the Spectre. That's always the option. But I mean, we have targeted the Spectre. So if they went helping hand to be kind of sneaky to try and get around us possibly targeting Clefairy, that's always something I would try to go for. Your opponent can catch you out with maybe an icy wind, but in this situation, we're not relying on that too much. So it's always good to target the big Pokemon that's the immediate threat at least. Spectre is not the most bulky of Pokemon either. So if you can get the Sunup and get an attack into it, then that'll be amazing. There we go, okay. So Sunup and Char should be able to, and it's gonna be interesting to see how much we do here. Gonna be interesting. I'm having doubts. I should have targeted the Spectre. I'm sure we did, yeah we did, we did. And you know what, I'm like talking and I'm like, did we target it? We should have done. Then it goes into the Clefairy and I'm like, come on, but we do. We target the right slot, so that's good. We do lose Charizard, but that's fine. The G-Max Wildfire Damage now is gonna be enough to kind of support. Maybe the rest of this tier, I don't know. The Grimnair boost there makes it very difficult. And we need to get, okay.  We just need to remove the Clefairy from the field. The problem is I don't know if Ryperia, let's just have a quick look. I don't know if it's gonna add speed. We need to be over 100, oh 100 max. Oh, come on. This is where we need to be one point faster with Ryperia. So I think it's gonna be a speed tie and I'm gonna say follow me. And I think, I think Rockslide's fine and I think we go, because the Spectre is literally gonna go down this next turn to the G-Max Wildfire Damage and the Recoil from the Life Orb. So whatever it does, I think we've won this one. If we win the speed tie or not, we probably lose Ryperia if we don't and there's a Max Quake, which is fine, yeah. And I don't think Lefairy's got a way to deal with Whimsicott. And we're quite a bulky Whimsicott as well. We've got the Cobber Berry. Like I had to put the Focus Sash on Gengar. I felt like it had to have that item. Without it, it's very vulnerable in this format. It's vulnerable anyway. You've got things like Spectre, you've got things like Dragapult that make it very difficult for Gengar to perform, but I still believe it can perform a decent enough roll. It's got a good base speed. It's got very good attack. So it's a very good Pokemon. Now this will just come down to if the Clefairy has an attack, like I see Wind or something, then yeah. I don't know if it's gonna be able to finish us off, but the G-Max Wildfire damage here. So it's gonna help us out a bunch. We don't need the Tailwind support. So we can just Moonblast, Moonblast, Moonblast until we win this one. Hopefully win it anyway. Let's see. Hopefully the Clefairy hasn't got like some sneak attack. It's got Moonblast as well. That could be a little bit. I could slow us down a bit. Then go Icy Wind. Okay. They're gonna need to Icy Wind us quite a bit to, yeah, and I mean we take that pretty comfortably. The bulk, they're helping us out. Even though the Clefairy not the strongest of Pokemon. And I think yeah. Couple more Moonblasts are gonna do the job. But the G-Max Wildfire, like I said, is gonna help us out in abundance to pick up the knockout here. And there's the battle canceled. So two wins today, friends. And two really good examples, I think, of how the team can perform well. Like I've said, it's very hyper offensive. It's got some odd picks, but they're not weak picks. I don't think, I think they're very strong picks. So I think this team in general is definitely something I would recommend you all have a go with. Because I think the Pokemon that are in the team, I think can work very well. And G-Max Charizard really surprised me. We were on stream yesterday. And I was talking about G-Max Charizard. It's not something that I enjoy playing personally, or I haven't. But when I built this team and I've started playing it, I kind of started to be like, okay, well, I'm seeing the value in it now. I'm seeing like I really kind of can get behind it and play it. So maybe if you were the same before then, then you try this team out and it might have the same effect. But definitely Charizard's great anyway, isn't he? Let's get on the Charizard train. Not that I wasn't on it already, but you know, we'll do it. Anyway, I'm gonna throw up the rental team for you guys. I need to take down one of the teams that I have up. This team will be up for two weeks. So you'll have plenty of time to test this out. I have to take the Regirock one down. Now, if any of you out there, and I say this all the time, want this team put back up, I've got two other teams that I'll be putting onto another card. So I will add this if you want this up and then you can continue to play it. I love the Regirock team. I think it's one of the best teams that have made this format. Honestly, I think it's great. So if you do want it, let me know down in the comment section and I will throw that up for you. Don't make it public and we need to make room.  I hate that we've only got so many slots for rental teams. I wish we just had unlimited slots. It would be great. It would be definitely a feature I would throw forward to Game Freak for the next generations because I just think, especially when you're making teams a lot of the time, you've got so many Pokemon in the format, you wanna have a lot of teams to help out other players. You want a lot of teams to just test and things like that. I think it would just be a good facility to have a lot of and also the ability to record battles. But friends, there it is.

Stocking is an insidious crime, which is a profound and damaging effect on its victims. It can often culminate in serious violence. The recourse for victims currently is to apply for a non-harassment order through the civil courts, often at their own expense, at a time when they're at their most vulnerable. I'm Rhona Mackay MSP and I'm proposing a Member's Bill, which would allow police to apply for a stocking protection order on behalf of the victim. My consultation is currently open and I look forward to hearing your views.


If you have read the paragraph first and then you are reading the question, then it's really easy to know that it's not given in the paragraph, so you should mark it not given. But when something is there and you can correct that sentence, that means it's a false sentence, so you should mark it as false. There was one very confusing question in my question paper was, they have parking lots on basement as well as on first floor. And the question was, is it true that parking lot is on two floors? In USA, they never considered basement as a floor, for somebody marked it as false. But it was true because considering that it is on basement and one is on first floor, so there are two floors. That's a really important point to not take any prior knowledge about the topic into the reading test. Just go on what the text says.
