What would happen if Kale McCarr and Nicholas Lidstrom played together? We are going to see how many Stanley Cup championships the two can win together in the span of 11 seasons. We are also going to keep track of how many individual trophies the two can win for themselves within this simulation. With that being said, it is time to start the 1999-2000 season where Kale McCarr has been dropped in with Nicholas Lidstrom. In the first year together, the Red Wins finished 6 in the entire league. McCarr and Lidstrom had absolutely no problems finding chemistry with each other on the top pair of the Detroit Red Wins team. Nick Lidstrom will finish his year with a 0.71 points per game, notching 14 goals and 59 points and 82 games. Kale McCarr would finish his first season with a 1.1 points per game, finishing with 12 goals, 79 assists and 91 points. This kind of breakout season gave McCarr an easy path to find his first Norris Trophy paired alongside Nick Lidstrom. So that makes Kale McCarr up 1-0 in the individual trophy award category. Now it's time for the pair's first playoff appearances together, and we start off with round one where the duo and the Wings take on Pavel Burry and the Florida Panthers. The two teams will play a tight first round with the Red Wings forcing at game 7, where Nick Lidstrom would notch two goals and win a demanding game 7 6-1. Pretty clutch from Nick Lidstrom there. Lidstrom and the Red Wings would now go on to take on the Montreal Canadiens in round two, with the Wings looking to once again force a game 7 at home. This one ended in overtime with the Red Wings firing a new NHL record of 87 shots in a single game. Regardless of that record, Montreal would go on to beat the Red Wings in overtime 2-1. McCarr finished his first playoffs with a point per game, and the Ducks would later go on to win the cup, and Paul Correa took home the Con Smyth Trophy. So year one ended pretty well for Kale McCarr winning the Norris. For Lidstrom and the Red Wings, not too great in the playoffs getting bounced in the second round, but year two, the 2000-1 season, the duo were looking for some more of that same success in the regular season as they had together in year one. The team would finish just two points shy of winning the President's Trophy this year with the Maple Leafs coming out on top a point ahead. Lidstrom would have a similar year finishing with 52 points in 82 games, and Kale McCarr would finish just under a point per game with 75 points in 82 games, a little bit of a drop off for Kale McCarr after that first year. Neither players would go on to win any regular season trophies with the Norris Trophy going to Brian Leach. Lidstrom and the Wings looked to start a deep run in year two, taking on the very talented Ottawa Senators team. The Wings start the series off dropping both games on home ice, and then taking one on the road in Ottawa to show some life. The Sends would then go on to take games 4-5, therefore knocking Kale McCarr and the Red Wings out earlier than expected. The Blues go on to hoist, Lord Stanley Taken, the Sends down in four games, and Gary Roberts takes home the Conn Smythe, and the Red Wings have yet to win a cup with McCarr and Lidstrom as their top two defensemen. Moving into the 2001-2002 season, also known as year three, the Red Wings got a very deeper team, bringing in Dominic Haschick, Red Hall, Frederick Olsen, and Rookie Pavel Datsuk making his debut. McCarr would match last year's total in points with 75, they call him Mr. Consistent for a reason, and Nick Lidstrom would finish with a personal best, 16 goals and 66 points. Neither players would bring home any individual hardware, though, with the North once again being awarded the Brian Leach for the second straight year. The season three playoffs would have the Red Wings beating the Boston Bruins in five games in their round one matchup. The Red Wings would then move on to round two, taking on the Montreal Canadiens. The last time the two teams met, the Canadians knocked out the Larianne of Lead Red Wings and round two after the Red Wings broke the record for the most shots in an NHL game. This time, the Wings would get the better half of the Canadians, defeating them in six games. Moving them on to the Eastern Conference Final for the first time, McCarr and the Wings take on the New York Rangers. This series would be a cakewalk for the Red Wings with a four-nothing series sweep. For the first time in their careers, McCarr, Lidstrom, and the Wings would be heading to the Stanley Cup Finals, where they find themselves playing T. Musilani and the mighty Ducks of Anaheim. The Wings would find themselves dropping game one, four to one, but then go on to win the next four games, making them the 2001-2002 Stanley Cup Champions. McCarr and Lidstrom both get to lift up the cup for the first time together, and both are hoping that there are more to come. Only took three years for the duo to find a Stanley Cup in their career. They work fast. The Cons might go into Sergei Federov, who had an unreal playoffs, even though Kilmokar finished the playoffs with a 1.05 points per game. Moving on to year four, the 0-203 season, the Red Wings are looking for a repeat. After losing Hasik, the Wings bring in Curtis Joseph, also known as Kujo. The defending Cup champs finish in second, falling shy of the present's trophy as the Rangers went on to win it, with a 59-win season, an absolutely insane season from the Rangers. Nick Lidstrom would go on to have his numbers drop a little bit, finishing with 48 points, his lowest in the four years played. Kilmokar would go on finishing with 73 assists and 81 points. Both would once again not finish with any personal hardware, as for the third straight year, Brian Leach takes home the Norris trophy. What a tear Brian Leach has been on these last three years. And now we jump into round one of the playoffs against the Toronto Maple Leafs, and it did not go well for your Detroit Red Wings as they lost. In seven games to the Toronto Maple Leafs, the defending Cup champs bounced in the first round in year four. Year five, the 0-304 season, would have the Red Wings bringing back Dominic Hasik, they also had Ray Whitney, and Henrik Zetterberg feeling much more comfortable in his second year in the NHL. Lidstrom would go on to finish the year tying a personal best with 16 goals, and Kilmokar would finish with 83 points in 82 games. This kind of year finally knocked down Brian Leach's reign of winning the Norris for three straight years, and Kilmokar goes on to win his second Norris trophy. He now leads 2-0 in the personal trophy awards, with having two Norris trophies to Lidstrom's none. Moving into the playoffs, after a first round exit last year, the Red Wings were determined to have a much better run this time around. They defeated the Burry-led Panthers in seven games. They went out to face the Tampa Bay Lightning for the first time, where Dominic Hasik played a perfect 120 minutes of hockey, games three and four, notching back-to-back shutouts. Mokar and the Red Wings went on to beat the Lightning in seven games. For the third time in five years, the Red Wings are back up against the Montreal Canadians in the Eastern Conference Final. The second-time Lidstrom, Mokar and the Red Wings make it that far. Hasik continued with his stellar play, notching his third shutout of the playoffs with a Game 4 4-0 victory. The Wings would later go on to beat the Habs in seven games. Mokar up until this point is one behind Whitney of the most points in the playoffs thus far, really gunning for that consummate title if the Red Wings were to win the cup this year. Up to the Stanley Cup finals for the second time in three years, the Red Wings find themselves up against Joe Sakic, Peter Forsberg and the dominate Colorado Avalanche. They had an amazing year better than Detroit. With Mokar and the Red Wings down three to two in the finals, the Wings win Game 6, 6-3 and go on to forcing a Game 7. Their third Game 7 of this playoffs. They have played plenty of hockey this playoff run. Game 7 has the Av, scoring one very late to make it 5-4 and try to mount a comeback. But let's trim in the Red Wings, hold on and go on to win their second cup in three years. Mokar and Listerham once again hoisting the cup. Ray Whitney just beating out Kale Mokar to the con smith, leaving Mokar still looking to win his first playoff MVP. He ended up finishing this playoffs with 26 assists, 32 points and 27 games. Some pretty impressive stuff from Kale Mokar. Hopefully he finds an MVP trophy, a playoff MVP trophy in the near future. We move quickly over to the 0-506 season and the Red Wings wanting to once again try to repeat what they did the year prior. This time around, the Red Wings finish in seventh place in the entire league. The lowest this team has placed since year one. Listerham would finish the 0-506 season with a career high of 19 goals and 58 points. That man loves his goals. Kale Mokar would finish with a career high totals in goals with 14. A career high in assists with 80 and a career high in points with 94. He would go on to win his second straight Norse trophy adding to the 2 he already has. So if we're looking at the individual award score, it's Kale Mokar 3, Nick Listerham none. And a little side note Pavel Datsuk went on to win his first Selkie trophy. Shifting to the playoffs now, this would be by far the worst in their career for both Mokar and Listerham. Listerham finishing with 0s across the board and Mokar finishing with one point in their first world exit to the Pittsburgh Penguins in four games. An embarrassment for the two. Shifting to the 0607 season, the year seven, the Troy Red Wings would add some new personnel changes for Mokar and Listerham and the Red Wings bringing in the likes of Todd Bertuzzi and Robert Lang. The Wings would go on to win 45 games that season and continue their playoff streak of seven years in a row. Listerham would go on to finishing this year with a 0.76 points per game and Kale Mokar takes home his fourth Norse trophy in seven years and goes on to win the Norse in three consecutive years. Looking at the individual trophy awards now, four individual awards for Kale Mokar, two Nick Listerham's none. Shifting to round one of the playoffs in the 0607 season, it once again did not go very well for Kale Mokar and the Red Wings. They get bounced once again in the first round. Only this time in seven against the Buffalo Sabres. So so far we're seven years in, out of the two. Kale Mokar looks like the stronger player winning more individual awards. They both won two cups together so far. But the individual awards Kale Mokar has taken for a sweep. There are four years left. Four said years left until Nick Listerham retires, which he did in real life. He would have to win the Norse trophy in all four years to try to tie Kale Mokar. I think it's safe to say Kale Mokar has won the individual trophies. With that being said, we move on to the 0708 season and this is one of the worst years for the pairing in the Detroit Red Wings. The seven-year stretch of making the playoffs every year ends as the Wings finish with a record of 39, 31, and 12. Listerham finished the year with 19 goals and 49 points. While Kale Mokar had another great season with 69 assists and 80 points. Neither players finished with individual awards this season as Mokar's three-year Norse streak ends as Carolina Sidor wins it. And at the end of the season, believe it or not, Nick Listerham decided to retire from the NHL three years earlier than he did in real life. So we have to conclude the simulation there as he retired in the 0708 season instead of the 2011-2012 season. After all was said and done in these eight years, the Detroit Red Wings went on to win two cups in eight years. And the goat status between the two defensemen has to go to Kale Mokar after winning four Norse trophies. And three of those wins come in three straight seasons, which is something very hard to do in the National Hockey League. So there you have it. Kale Mokar potentially the better defenseman than Nick Listerham. That's what the simulation shows.


This is like exactly what I would want out of a distortion tone, and a queen tone. Fuck. That sounds just like Captain Sensible. Big sound, lightweight package. That's killer. I get like four or five more because they weigh about as much as a shoebox. I really am liking the actual dirty channel, the gain channel on this. It sounds really cool. My name is Nick DePiro, and I play guitar in the band Night Vs. and Head Cave. Hi, I'm Tony Ellman from Violasin and Renaissance Rock Orchestra. I'm Charlie Paulson. I play in Goldfinger. How you doing? My name is Taylor Beresoff. I'm from Graves in the Bad Weather. Hi, I'm Hillary from Honey Chain, and I'm here checking out the new Black Star, St. James, amps in all their glory. Hey, I'm Lexi from the Paranoids here at Black Star, Los Angeles, USA. I'm not here checking out the new St. James. And yeah, gonna mess around, play with some Cleans Distortions. I mean, first impressions for me, like the distortion is very clear, which I think is a very cool thing to have the balance between clean and distortion being that consistent. I do a lot of stuff where when I'm playing chords, I like to have as many notes kind of go in them as possible. And I'm always switching between kind of balancing rhythm and lead at the same time. So being able to hear everything as I'm doing that is always very important. I think it sounds red. It's really loud, but it keeps the clarity between both channels really well. Sparkling, and the response is just killer, you know what I mean? And it's nice and warm. I like that reverb. It sounds natural, but it's not obnoxious, you know what I mean? Don't. That sounds just like Captain Sensible. That is killer. Fuck, that sounds killer. Look at this. That's so tight.  Like, I like, I like that immediacy. This is more my speed.  This is just a little bit more what I'm used to playing for sure. It's just a little uglier and nastier. It's just a really pretty amp. I like this voicing. Good old, like rock and roll. Clean edge of crunch kind of thing. Dig it. It's got a little bit more than the other one, I think.  I love the look of the thing. It's got that old school vintage vibe. It's got balls. I really like the gain stage on it. It's got a really nice clean too. I find with a lot of amps, it's either got a good clean or a good gain stage. Very rarely does it have both. Yes, I absolutely love the gain stage on this one. This is the 6L6's on this guy. Really ballsy. Really ballsy. I feel like you don't really even need any pedals to go into that one. You could kind of achieve what you're doing with like a high gain pedal or even like a fuzz. Like a really brutal fuzz. And it's clear too. It doesn't really muddy up.  Like on the clean setting, it's super warm. Very warm, very full. Very dirty. Beautiful full sound. I love the clarity. The mid-boost really comes through too and the sag feature is nice too. Nice tonal option. Sustain is pretty cool. And so I'm just going to try a few things with my Fender Tornado that has the stock pickup and then I also have a P90 so you can hear a little bit of a different tone. But I'm going to go ahead and the neck pickup which is just in the humbucker and just on clean and see what it sounds like. So it has a super nice ring to it. But now we're going to hit the P90 and I'm going to get a little bit of crunch and just go through like a little bit of a riff so you can hear that sound. And that's just amp by the way. So you can see it's got a super cool, crunchy sound to it. I really am liking the actual dirty channel, the gain channel on this. It sounds really cool. So you can see it has a lot of cool, actual kind of sustain which is really fun. Now it's cool though. I mean just even the way that you can hear that the actual like overtones is really cool. No, my super overdrive is not. That's just all amp into the P90. Even though it's elevated, you're still getting a lot of bass? No, I know. That's why I stepped back for a minute because I was like I'm not liking the speaker path and I wanted to hear it actually. So yeah, no, the fact that it is elevated that is like a lot of like bottom end that I wasn't expecting. Yeah, it's just very reactive. I think it's a super dynamic amp for what it is. Definitely has a tax, so much headroom in it. Versus a simple soft and subtle. Yeah, I have to say that's my favorite one so far, for sure. The gain, the clean is so clear, but I love this free... so good. I mean normally also when I'm playing I have a bunch of effects, so I have like delays and things like that going. So to emulate that for me, we'll be boosting this reverb a bit, which is still even with the chords. Like if I were to play that with a reverb pedal, it would be a little bit super, like too washed out. I feel like with the amp, if you wanted to have reverb like kind of ready to go like that, it actually doesn't sound that bad with the distortion. Yeah, I feel like these are very diverse amps. Like I'm more of a metal-ish player, I guess, but I feel like anyone... like it's not like a metal head, but it captures the essence of a metal head while also being like just a good... just a good amp, I don't know. This is really sick. It's giving me back everything I'm giving it. You know what I mean?  You know what I mean?  I'm being a little savage with this thing and it can take it. You know what I mean? That's nasty. I love that. This is... You bring this amp to a fight. Oh, dude, come on, man. That's just like... This is like a prop. Dude, no way. But overall, I think dynamics, key element of this amp, compression of key element of this amp.  They all do, for sure. I don't... Like when I say like a compliment to this is not to negate these. It's just that this is like exactly what I would want out of a distortion tone. And a clean tone. Oh, and it's pretty light. Nice. They're so small, too. I didn't even think about that. Yeah, portability-wise. Yeah, they look clean, too. And I didn't even... The illuminated light is sick. Yeah, let's check this thing out. Because it sounds like it's heavy. And it's not, at all. What did you guys do? 23 pounds? Do a guy like me. Yeah. Yeah, that thing is nothing. That's not going to break my back carrying it into venues, at all. Big sound, lightweight package. That's killing. Yeah, that's killer. So light. I don't know what you guys did, but I like it. Yeah, that's going to be easy. Carrying into venues, too. Like, biggest thing. Sometimes you ain't always got someone to help you or a cart. Having something lightweight is awesome. Not going to break your back. Oh, my God. Yeah, it's super light. Yeah, this is super light. Oh, my God. My little lunch pail. So light. This is great for touring. Yeah, great for touring. Because it's still, it's not that big. And then, also, it's not that heavy. It's great that you guys are re... I don't want to say reinventing, but you guys are kind of making some new stuff. And other, like, amps aren't doing that. They're just putting out the same thing, always. Yeah, it's cool. It's light. Sounds freaking good. Yeah. No, thanks for having me. Thank you. Whoa. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. No, that's... For a 50 watt? Wow. No, that's... Yeah, and this is my left hand. Wow. No, that is super cool. That is really cool. Like, this kind of opens up a lot of ideas in terms of, like, you could almost have two and run in stereo. But, yeah, no, that's super cool. That's amazing. A 50 watt one, but... I mean, I have heads that weigh way more than that. Wow. And this is how many watts? 50. Wow. That's crazy. No, that is super light. That's way light. You can hear that they're distinctly voiced differently. I mean, that's... You can, without a doubt... I gotta get one. I gotta get one.  I mean, between the sound, the versatility of it, and the weight of it, it's killer amp. Absolutely. Knocked it out of the park, Blackstar. Knocked it out of the park.


If the bulls can reclaim 274 on the Q's, right? If we can get a 274 on the Q's, then this whole level here, I think, would be imminent. Welcome to Access to Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey, guys, good morning, everybody. Welcome to another edition of theaxistrader.com, weekend update show. Hope everybody is having a wonderful weekend. Hope everybody is staying safe. Hope everybody is being loved and, again, stay healthy and life kind of works out with a positive attitude. So let's talk about the market. So the indexes this week, most indexes, the Dow, the S&P, finished off the week, four consecutive weeks now of down with side bias, the NASDAQ, the Q's, they closed up 1%. I think a lot of people, based on Friday's action, got very, very excited.  The track record for the market for the last two and a half years was, every single time the market looked like it was about to collapse, bulls found their ground, they kept it moving, they reclaimed major levels and moved forward. So I get the idea that people are very, very excited and you hear a lot of people turn around, well, that was the bottom. Again, we don't know, we can only speculate that the bottom is always obvious after the fact. And we've been seeing nonstop buying for two and a half years. We've been seeing bears pulling out their hair. So at any single time, there's any type of sell-off in the market that doesn't last more than three days, all of a sudden we're going back to lows. Again, for me, I stopped figuring this out long time ago. I just stopped doing so. Ever since the March lows, I've been really trying to pick it day by day. Again, have a very concrete opinion on the bias all week this week. I was sell bias and obviously the action for the most part of the week was dominated on the sell side at one point a day or another. But again, like I've said in every single video, it's very, very quick, very, very easy to get caught in a bias, paint yourself in a corner and really get run over. And the dynamics of the market change very, very quickly. For a couple of months now, we've been seeing really good aggressive decline levels in a lot of COVID cases, especially in the big cities, New York, right? New York was doing four to 5,000 people, new cases as of like two, three months ago. We got down to like, well, three, 400 a day. This past week, we spiked about to about 1,000. New Jersey, where I live, we were doing four to 5,000 new cases a day for a very, very long time. As of last week, they did spike, but the average day was like three to 400. So I think the market also got very comfortable with the idea that, okay, we know that there is going to be a second wave again. You can make an argument that this is still the same wave, but at least we're getting acclimated to living in this whole COVID world. And what we saw in the last week or so, we had spikes in major cities. We saw spikes in Europe. And that started giving kind of the concern that, you know what, maybe now it's time to kind of buckle down. Let's not get caught off guard this time. Let's make precautions. Maybe start getting a little safer before it comes really, really aggressively. And that's the way we kind of want to do it. And the market kind of got nervous this week and you started seeing the little bit of a sell-off. And then come Friday, we had this really, really big rally. What I liked about the rally on Friday, the Bulls had every chance to roll over. And if you guys remember Thursday's video, we rallied very strong. We were up like 300 points or so. We got rejected off the five-day moving average and completely reversed. So the Bulls had the opportunity to kind of lay down and die. It was Friday, a lot of people.  It starts tonight at sundown and it goes all the way till tomorrow night. I have an easy fast, first and foremost. I myself, I'm a bad guy. I've lost my Jewish card a long time ago. I got married in a Roman Catholic church 20 years ago. So, bad guy. But anyway, I think we're going to see, come tomorrow, you're going to see a lot less volume, okay? Just because so many people are going to be off tomorrow. But what I like what the Bulls did was not only reclaim the five-day moving average, it reclaimed the 10-day as well. Now again, when I looked at charts, I started charting very lightly. My routine is after the close on Fridays, as I'm drinking my coffee, whatever the case might be, I'm still in work mode. So I started going lightly through charts and I joked around and I tweeted this out. I go, I've made my watch list for Monday. I narrowed it down to like 450 stocks. I was joking around, but that's kind of where we were. The fact that we did reclaim major levels was kind of a big deal. But again, and I want to really reiterate this very, very aggressively. So everybody understands we're not head of the woods, guys.  But the problem is again, macro levels again need to be really taken down. And again, we did a great job, reclaimed the five, reclaimed the 10. Everybody see this whole level here? If the Bulls can reclaim 274 on the Qs, if we can get a 274 on the Qs, then this whole level here, I think will be imminent. So I think Monday's session is going to be rather important. The problem is again, you're going to see a lighter volume session just because so many people are going to be observing young reports. It's very, very important not to get too kind of bias into bull or bear debate come Monday night. I think we'll get a true sense of the market come Tuesday, Wednesday. We're either, again, I believe we're either going to get rejected off this level here and roll back down. Or again, we have to, if the Bulls want to rally, they have to at least at the minimum reclaim 274 on the Qs. And if we can reclaim 278 throughout the week, then yes, we have a legitimate shot. You can make a strong bull case that we're going to go back to all-time highs. If you look at the S&P, right? Look at the SPX. Again, we know the big number, right? The big number here to break this whole downward cycle is going to be this 34, 25, 34, 30 area. We get that, right? That's got rejected there four times. But again, at least it was nice to see that the Bulls at least reclaim the five-day moving average. And now we're going to run into a next kind of line in the sand, do or die scenario, somewhere around this 33 and a quarter area. So again, are we out of the woods? Absolutely not. You can see here, we're still in a dead downtrend. Until we start reclaiming big macro levels, again, assume we are. So I'm still in the camp that I believe that the upside, unless there's some really, really big levels, the upside needs to be kind of traded with kid gloves. You got to treat this very gently. I think there's better value to the upside on cash flow. And again, the word cash flow could be very subjective. If you're trading a $30 stock, maybe cash flow is 50 cents. If you're trading a beta, maybe the cash flow was $2, $3, right? But I don't think unless we start really confirming these levels, you're not going to get a hundred point move in Amazon. Again, we already had that hundred point move in Amazon just because, for example, Amazon reclaim certain levels, right? Reclaim these levels here and start moving back. But again, you can see how it's mirror imaging the S&P 500, the Qs. So it's very, very important again to understand that, again, at any time they could gap up, get stuck and roll over. So again, just understand your levels. We always talk about not bull, not bear, just understand levels. Levels are going to be your guide. You don't need to ask anybody's opinion whether they like it or they don't like it. If you have eyeballs and you have common sense and you could read a chart, it's most very basic thing that your eyeballs probably won't let you down. So if you see the market get rejected, for example, on Amazon at $31.88, you know that supply, right? If it starts rolling over, you know that's a bad sign. If it closes over $31.90, you know it's very, very bullish. So again, you don't need to ask 28 people what they think about Amazon, okay? It's all about reclaiming levels or getting rejected levels. So it's going to be very, very important. Here's kind of what I liked about this week. I had a really crappy trade on Tesla on Monday. That was the whole kind of day before the battery day. And then throughout the week, I did okay. Especially towards the end of the week, some really, really good value. And I think that the market has taught us that, again, number one, if you're a brand new trader, you can't fall in love with these stocks. Again, I don't think anybody on the planet loves Tesla more than me, but I don't love it to the point of, I'm gonna stand and defend their fundamentals. When it goes up, it's great. When it goes down, it's great, okay? So it's very, very important to understand that. The one thing that I didn't like about this week, I didn't like the liquidity. Monday through Wednesday, I didn't like the liquidity. I thought, especially on the beta side, I thought a lot of names were really spreading, okay? At one point, I was watching Amazon. It was trading like $5 spread. Netflix now has been really, like they have to fix Netflix. Something is wrong with Netflix. For the last year, Netflix has been trading, but it's a good trader, right? You can still get from point A to point B. But Netflix has been trading like a dollar spread at some point, hundreds share lots on all sides. So the liquidity this week wasn't great. Obviously Tesla's phenomenal liquidity, Apple's phenomenal liquidity, Facebook as well, but a lot of names were very, very light. So I'd like to see the liquidity get better. And maybe again, it's not there just because we're in this downward channel right now. And again, when you have a downward move in the market, so you're going to have less participants because again, the majority of the public is not a trader, right? They're investors.  So I get that part. So hopefully if we could start reclaiming some bigger macro levels, you're going to have natural liquidity coming back into the markets. And I think if we can close, especially on the queues, if we can close on Monday, above the 274 level, you can see this whole channel here that started all the way back on September 17th. That's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven days, right? Tomorrow will be dates. So we're talking about almost two weeks. If we could clear out this two week distribution then I think we're going to go higher. So let's talk about Friday's session. And so I started the day with very, very specific notes, right? And we talk about this on the video. And I said, look, be very, very patient today. The value today is not obvious because remember we are in a downward cycle. A lot of names have been beaten up. A lot of names are in downtrends. A lot of names are way below supply. So any moves to the upside for the general part of the week was stuff, right? You could still get the trades. And we've been talking about individual pivots for the whole week that we did take advantage to the upside but there was short lift. So we wanted to make sure that and say, look, be patient, still downside bias but we'll take advantage of upside channels for cash flow only. Again, you can't predict that we're gonna completely reclaim the five, 10 day moving average and say, you know what, forget about the cash flow. Let's start looking for $12 moves. Again, it's much easier said and done after the fact but when you are faced with a certain day and a certain reality, you have to use common sense. So the day actually turned out to be very, very aggressive. Again, you can't plan on a five run home run. If you're the greatest home run hitter of all time, not named Barry Bonds, let's just say you're a Babe Ruth, right? Babe, as he was drinking beer, eating his hot dog right before he's going to the plate. He can't imagine that every single time he's gonna swing it, he hits it out.  I know for a fact the market's gonna stretch. It doesn't work that way. You're always in the middle of an aggressive day after the fact and again, you have to kind of adjust on the fly. So the day actually turned out to be pretty good. Beyond continues to be a really big, and again, here's, if you look at everything I said, it was literally for cash flow, maybe a dollar, maybe two dollars, use break even on your stuff.   Again, we're not in that channel yet but again, that's exactly what it turned into. So let's talk about the pivots from Friday. 151 needs to build for cash flow. Again, I thought maybe a dollar, maybe two dollars. So here was Beyond, this whole channel right here. So here was, oops, excuse me, here was Beyond. This whole channel here at 51 and it went nuts. It closed right at the high of the day at 156. I still like Beyond if you look at the daily chart and if we do continue to rally, is there a shot we get back to this 161 supply? Absolutely, so I'll definitely be watching Beyond for Monday. I traded Tesla, I thought pretty well, I said 400 is gonna be a tricky area. The previous day had a really aggressive pivot from that 385 into the 400 number. I said 400 is gonna be kind of a tricky area. There's always a possibility and this is kind of a general note for a lot of really big momentum names. You're going to always have the greatest amount of liquidity at whole numbers, okay. Retail is probably gonna be buying at whole numbers. Retail is probably going to be selling at whole numbers. And funds are positioning. What funds are gonna turn around and say, if Fidelity turns around and say, look, I wanna buy two million shares of Tesla, they're not gonna buy it at $398.28, they're either gonna buy it at $399, they're gonna buy it at 400. So you're always faced with a scenario that you're going to have a lot of liquidity, but you're always faced with a scenario that if you're going long, there's a very good chance there's going to be a reload seller there.  And that's why you have to really be conscious because they could pull very quickly.  If there is, it's gonna get rejected really quickly. It needs to rebuild target 407. And luckily for us, there was just no reload seller there. It just went straight to that. The first push was to like 404, right? So here's the channel right here. Let me show you the channel here. So here's where I was talking about the 407 supply, right? So yesterday's high, the previous day's high was that 400. Here was supply and went right to supply at 409. I thought it was gonna get the 407, went to 409. So Tesla was good. I still like Tesla. It just needs to take out some more at levels. The video was really, really good towards the end of the day. We actually had a smaller pivot before this 510 area. So we'll discuss that in a second. Amazon 37 needs to build. Here was Amazon, right? Here was Amazon, took out the 3070, right? We talked about that level yesterday, right? Here's the whole 3070 level, took out 37, went to the 3100. Again, Amazon still looks good for Friday. Square 156 rejected needs to build 159 macro. And again, this is the greatest part about technical analysis, right? So it takes out the 156 and look where it stops at the day, right? It stops at 15898. And if you look at the daily chart, right? Again, you don't need to be the greatest technician in the world. You know where the pivot is, right? You know where the pivot is. So again, nice move on square.  We saw a lot of 160, 165, 170 call buying for this week. So definitely keep an eye on that. I was watching initially zoom green to red short. Okay. The previous day, I caught a nice short on zoom. But now with the COVID cases spiking, we started seeing a lot of these COVID names really, really waking up. So you'll see in a second, we put pivots in Peloton and zoom. So they started really, really getting aggressively. Obviously this thing got nowhere near green to red. Ride aid got hit pretty hard. Ride aid, 1080 if it builds below can flush. Here was ride aid, right? So here was ride aid. Here was the 1080, right? Here was the 1080 and it flushed all the way down to 968. Congratulations for all you guys who caught ride aid. Draft kings never got, I still like this level. 5375, 5375, 54 needs to build. I still like this level. If it can wake up at some point throughout the week, it's a nice level here. As you can see here, it traded to 53, 59. I still like this 5375, 54 level. If it starts building, maybe it goes to 56. So that area is still valid going forward. And again, take on the way up, right? On Tesla, nice spike. Actually went to 56, but nice spike there. Ride aid, here comes 10 support. Take on the way down. And then we started seeing again, like we talked about a few minutes ago, these COVID plays, right? They started waking up. Peloton, 94 needs to build. Peloton exploded, right? Absolutely exploded. So here was the 94 level, right? Here's the 94 level and just went absolutely nuts. Went all the way to 98, 48. That one, absolute bananas. Zoom went nuts, 488, 54, 89 needs to build, right? And that's the whole point of pivots, guys. We had an initial pivot to the downside. That never played out, so we go back to the side. Again, there is no bias. That's the whole point of trading pivots. I don't care which ways they confirm. As long as they confirm, and as long as we have measure potential that we can identify with supply, then that's the direction we'll be trading. Again, for falling in love with these stocks is gonna be incredibly challenging to get rid of emotional baggage. And again, for every trader, we all know the greatest failure is because of emotion. So it's very, very important to kind of concentrate on the setup in an unbiased matter than actually the stock itself. So here is the three, here is the 488 level, right? 488, 489, and exploded, right? Exploded to 498. I like this whole channel here coming up here, folks. I like this whole channel that's four days into making. If it could start getting above this whole channel here, I think it will go higher. So I wanna keep an eye obviously on Zoom going on this week, 491 on deck. Netflix obviously never got to the 466 level. Amazon touched 3,000, never built below.  So Peloton highs. Dock you, again, these, again, it's a pretty, as you can see, there's a lot of stuff going on on Friday. Again, the stay at home plays, the COVID plays, Dock you, 210, 212 big areas. Again, COVID names are going nuts. Here was Dock you, right? So it took out the 210, right? Took out the 210, took out the 212, traded the 213. I still like it. I think if we can reclaim this whole channel here, I think it goes higher. And if you look at the macro case, if it just closes above this candle here, you could start looking at really bigger moves. Again, we started seeing October 230 calls pretty regularly throughout the week. So another name to watch in case, again, the COVID spikes. So here was the really big move. So if you guys remember, we talked about 510 was a big number and it was, but it was a sneaky pivot of 503 on the video.  Again, not every channel is the quote unquote breakout. There are, when you hear me talk about sneaky pivots, this is what we're talking about. A sneaky channel that nobody knows is there, but there's an algorithm there that is tied into an arbitrary, into a very, very specific area that there's a very high probability that the volume will come in there. So 503 big spot needs to build. Again, remember, keep in mind, 503 and 510 macro, right? 510 macro, like I said, initial supply is 506, right? Initial supply is 510 weeklies coming in, right? So these are all the big numbers, kind of the steps. 503 went to 506, reclaimed 506, 510 weekly buyers coming in. It reclaimed, right? It reclaimed 510 and the video went absolutely nuts, right? So you had the 503 took out here, took out the 5010, and this is the first close over supply trading over the 515 areas. So obviously I love the video again, going in for this week as well to kind of confirm this channel here. So really, really big move there as well. And like I said, I was very surprised, like I was very pleasantly surprised of the value, okay? And I think that's, when you're going into a trading session and you basically turn around and say, look, I'm not expecting anything, right? You have no expectations, you have no letdown, you have no disappointments, your mind is clear and you're willing to trade both sides of the market. And I think that's it. So I think going into this week, there's a lot of really good setups. Let me just give you guys a couple of names that are non-beta names that I'm watching. Like look at the solar stocks, right? Canadian solar, I had some news on Friday, I also believe there was some October 35 calls. Keep an eye on this thing, this thing looks really good. If it could just confirm this channel here, who knows, maybe goes into this 3370s level, SPWR also in the solar space as well. Pretty basic setup here. For all you guys who are trading a little bit lower names, if it can just confirm 10, 90, 11, maybe it shoots back to $12, that looks good. Check out the Z, right? Recent IPO, I think it came public in June, okay? You can see here, every single time they try to confirm this linear regression line, it kept on getting rejected, right? Linear regression line came like, it's kind of the same thing now. It really needs to reclaim, somewhere around the 40, 20, 40, 50 area. If it could just close over the $40 area, I think the stock will go higher. Again, we saw, I think we saw October 40, either October or November 45 calls. Please check, but again, if they could just break this whole downtrend, it could start moving up as well. Obviously, all the beta names aren't watched as well. So for all you guys, have a wonderful, lovely, healthy, happy Sunday. Have an awesome trading session. Again, for all Jewish friends, have an easy fast, lots of love, and God willing, I'll see you all tomorrow. Take care guys, have a great day.


Item number SCP-1015 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-1015-1 is to be contained in a passcode lock safe, in a 2 meter by 2 meter room to be supervised by one guard at all times. All testing is to take place in a room lined with several layers of thin rubber, latex, paper, or other material on the floor, walls, and ceiling. Each layer of material must be no thicker than 0.5 millimeters. Description SCP-1015-1 is the American penny marked with the year 1974. All markings present on the coin match pennies minted in this year. Mentalurgical analysis has thus far been impossible, as the penny has resisted all attempts to cut or scratch it, and is unaffected by temperature changes, always cooled to the touch. The person possessing the penny is known as SCP-1015-2. No willful action by SCP-1015-2 will permanently rid them of the penny. Dropping, throwing, or giving away to the penny will result in the penny reappearing somewhere on SCP-1015-2's person within 4 seconds. Ownership transfer requires the death of SCP-1015-2, followed by another person picking the penny up, or the theft, non-consensual taking of the penny from its current owner. Within two hours of the penny's acquisition, objects touched by most exposed body parts, CTAS log, of SCP-1015-2 are instantly transmuted into one or more 1974 pennies. For approximately the first 24 hours, the effect will only manifest on small objects barely larger than a penny. Over the next two weeks, the effect will increase the maximum size of affected objects, probability of transmutation on contact, and percentage of matter converted on contact. Eventually, contact with SCP-1015-2 will convert all solid contiguous matter into pennies. Objects that are smaller than a penny in any dimension are not affected. Transmutation only occurs as long as SCP-1015-2 is alive. The effect conserves volume rather than mass. That is, all space occupied by the converted object will be replaced as efficiently as possible by pennies, with any remaining non-transmuted volume apparently lost. The effect's boundaries thus far seem to be limited to a single solid contiguous object at a time. Pennies created this way have not shown any anomalous effects. They are identical as a microscopic level to SCP-1015-1, but unlike the original, can be altered or damaged like any penny. Metallurgical testing has shown pennies created this way are approximately 95% copper, consistent with pennies minted in 1974. See Addendum 1015-02 Addendum 1015-1 SCP-1015-1 was originally recovered following an investigation in ██████. All the street lamps on the street have been vandalized, leaving the shaft of every lamp missing, while all internal components and the bulbs themselves were found on the ground along with a substantial number of pennies. Similar cases later involved sections of steel outer walls and several warehouses. All gravestones in a section of a local cemetery, and as support beams for an electrical tower would subsequently collapse. Pennies were found at all scenes. A penny smelting operation was then found inside a condemned home after a fire broke out. Most parts of the home, including its foundation, were discovered transmuted into pennies. Homeless people apparently involved in the operation were found dead in the remains of the home. Agents in the area investigating the previous phenomena encountered two survivors of the scene, scooping up pennies. They were later identified as brothers Larry and Bill Sorkin, a pair of locally known indigents. Larry Sorkin died after being fired upon with non-lethal rubber rounds. He later confirmed cause of death with high-velocity insertion of pennies into his abdominal cavity, not all of which corresponded with the rubber rounds. SDP-1015-1 was found on its person by lab assistant Trevor ████████. See Test Log Bill Sorkin was apprehended and interviewed. Addendum 1015-01 Interview Interviewed Bill Sorkin Interviewer Dr. ██████ forward. Bill Sorkin admitted his brother had found SCP-1015-1 at the bottom of a dumpster while searching for cans and bottles to return for deposit. Begin Log And when did you notice something was odd? He gave me the penny, then I couldn't find it, and he found a penny in his pocket again. It happened a few times, we don't have a lot of cash on hand, see, so we noticed that sort of thing. And the transmutation? The what now? The anomalous conversion of matter into… When did stuff start turning into pennies when he touched it? Oh, that. It was later that day. We were just sitting with our sign, need money for food, etc. And someone tossed us a quarter. Larry picked it up and it was a penny. I was surprised, but he said it had been happening all day. He was kinda… Notes so Sorkin made a motion like a bottle being knocked back at this point. Then he showed me the cup. All pennies in there. I was pretty mad. And when did larger items start being affected? Um… Right then, actually. The mug of pennies turned into pennies. I think I cheered up then. How did your brother eat or drink? Well, that was a scary thought. He couldn't get rid of the penny. We realized pretty quick he was gonna starve if he didn't think of something.  Then we found out little chunks of food didn't change. Pennies just took a long time, and I had to cut them up for him, worth it I figured. Was there anything else unaffected by the anomaly? What who and the where now? The magic penny making powers. Was there anything your brother couldn't turn into pennies? Well his clothes didn't change, except he lost the buttons on a sports coat and the soles of his shoes. Newspapers didn't change, but almost everything else did. Had to be a stick as a penny maybe. So you converted several thousand dollars worth of concrete and scrap metal into several thousand pennies?  Me and some friends rolled out a tarp and Larry touched whatever, and we caught all the pennies we could, then rolled up the tarp and loaded it into my buddy's truck. But then you melted them? Those were 1974 pennies, copper, worth almost two cents each, and hey, imagine trying to sell truckload of gravestones, not happening, moot point now though. What happened in the house? Larry happened. Larry is the reason we can't have nice things. We were all drinking to our newfound success. He got hammered, tripped and touched the floor with his face. Then he tried to get up, and I don't think he saw one of the propane torch tanks rolling towards him and… it was almost empty. But pennies went flying everywhere.  Now it's he, by the way. He's fine. But did he start to fire then? The other guys were passed out around a space heater. The gas got to the heat right away, and that's when it went up. They… they didn't stand a chance with the fire, except one guy can. He got up. He ran for the door at the same time as us, and Larry was stumbling around and transmuting everything. Larry reached to push Kenny out of the way. As he transmuted, was Kenny turning the pennies? It's… god. It's so much worse than you'd think, because your body is not all one piece. There are lots of parts, so many little pieces. No, I'm not talking anymore about this. God, if I ever see an opinion again, it'll be too soon. Any chance you might let me and my brother go now? Soon. End log. Closing statement. Bill Sorkin was named D-1015-01 following his interview. See test log. Test log Test 1015-01. Subject. Lab assistant Trevor. Seven hours of their exposure to SCP-1015-1. Test. Subject asks to strip. Then holds still while researchers touch round plastic tokens to various parts of subjects' body. One set of tokens measure 2 cm diameter and 4 mm thickness. Another set of tokens measure 2 cm diameter and 0.5 mm thickness. Results. Tokens with thickness of 0.5 mm were unaffected. Results varied for tokens with 4 mm thickness. Skin. Token transmitted into one penny. Hair. No result. Teeth. Token transmitted into one penny. Eye. Token transmitted into one penny. Ear nails. No result. Toe nails. No result. Tongue. Token transmitted into two pennies. Note. Subsequent tests with the tokens on tissues that previously yielded one penny then yielded two pennies. We believe this is because of the progression of SCP-1015-1's anomalous effects. Test 1015-02. Subject. Lab assistant Trevor. 10 hours of their exposure to SCP-1015-1. D-1015-01. Test. Told to place SCP-1015-1 carefully in the hand of D-1015-01, then withdraw a hand and immediately touch plastic token. Results. Token transmitted into two pennies despite absence of SCP-1015-1 on ████ person. SCP-1015-1 vanished from D-1015-01's hand in 3.5 seconds. Located SCP-1015-1 in left sock. Test 1015-03. Subject. Lab assistant Trevor. 10.5 hours of their exposure to SCP-1015-1. D-1015-01. Test. Told to place SCP-1015-1 on table and turn her way while D-1015-01 picked item up. Results. SCP-1015-1 vanished from D-1015-01's hand in 3 seconds. Located SCP-1015-1 inside own jumpsuit. Test 1015-04. Subject. Lab assistant Trevor. 10.5 hours of their exposure to SCP-1015-1. D-1015-01. Test. Told to strip naked. Place SCP-1015-1 on table and turn her way while D-1015-01 picked item up. Results. SCP-1015-1 vanished from D-1015-01's hand in 4 seconds. Unable to be located for several minutes until ████████ expressed significant discomfort in ████████ vanished from toilet bowl in 3.5 seconds and was located in ████████'s right sock. Note. May I add, it's a good thing he thought to put that sock back on before █████████ again. Test 1015-05. Subject ████████ 11.5 hours of their exposure to SCP-1015-1. D-1015-01. Test. D-1015-01 became agitated, demanding he be released, reunited with his brother, Larry Sorkin, whom Subject with unaware was killed during item recovery, and allowed to keep our penny. Quickly attacked ████████, fracturing ██████ nose, right orbital bone and right cheekbone, and knocking several teeth loose, rendering him unconscious. Subject D-1015-01 then retreated SCP-1015-1 from ████████ hand. Results. SCP-1015-1 remained in D-1015-01's possession ████████ ceased causing transmutation. Note.  Sorry about the face. Test 1015-06. Subject. D-1015-01. Test. Subject refused further cooperation and was terminated with one gunshot to head. All present instructed not to interact with SCP-1015-1. Results. SCP-1015-1 remained in earth, where it dropped on floor, even after removal of Subject's body from room. Body did not cause transmutation. Test. 1015-07. Subject. D-1015-02. Test. Subject instructed to pick up SCP-1015-1 from floor where it dropped the previous test. Subject confirmed ownership of item by transmuting one plastic token approximately one hour later. Subject was then isolated for two weeks in a room, lined with a layer of paper, beneath a layer of cellophane, beneath a layer of rubber approximately 0.5mm thick. Results. Results remain unaffected. Test. 1015-08. Subject. D-1015-02. One week after exposure to SCP-1015-1. D-1015-03. Test. D-1015-02 instructed to touch various objects in order to establish boundaries for transmutation effect. Results varied. Block of solid oak wood. Blocked transmuted entirely to pennies. Glass brick. Glass transmuted entirely to pennies. Drinking glass. Round. 10cm diameter. 2.5mm thickness. No result. Note. A good rule of thumb seems to be that the matter to be converted or replaced must be able to contain a penny in the three-dimensional space the original item occupies, such as that glass was too curved in this case. Water in glass. No result. Note. I think it's obvious we don't have to test gases. Wet sponge. Spun's transmuted. Volume taken up by pennies slightly less than exterior volume of sponge. Pennies wet and resting in puddle. Block of wood coated in fresh paint. Blocked transmuted. Pennies sitting in puddle of wet paint. Some splashed with paint. Block of wood coated in dried paint. Blocked transmuted. No paint remaining. Block of wood with old peeling paint. Blocked transmuted. Some paint chips remaining. Dining room table with leaf installed. Section of tabletop that was touched transmuted entirely to pennies. All other components of table, leaf, other tabletop section, legs, molding around tabletop that was nailed in place. Nails and other metal fixings unaffected. Two blocks of wood adhered together using ██████ brand glue. Block touched was transmuted. Other block unaffected. Block of ice four meters cubed. Blocked transmuted. Some pennies wet and puddle discovered after pennies were cleared out of room via industrial vacuum. D-1015-03 naked, restrained to an upright dolly. Entire epidermis and dermis transmuted to pennies, along with portions of hypodermis. Large nerve fibers and blood vessels remained unaffected. Pennies landed on floor and puddle of various bodily fluids and body hair. Note, D-1015-02, who was initially reluctant to touch D-1015-03 for the test, reacted violently to results, immediately attempting ██████, finally causing death by brain collapse. D-1015-02 then attempted to attack Agent ██████, who terminated him with sidearm before physical contact was made. Please let's never do this again. Addendum, 1015-02. Dr. Ridgely suggested that pennies created by SCP-1015 had no anomalous properties. It is now known that, and as of yet unidentified percentage of pennies created this way, exhibit the anomalous effects of SCP-1015-01. On ████, police found the body of ████, a Department of Public Works employee who had assisted in the cleanup of the house fire where SCP-1015-01 was recovered, and who had subsequently not returned to work for more than a week. Had died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, much of the home's furniture and architectural features were reported to be missing, with a large quantity of pennies found around the house, as well as blood and other bodily fluids smeared on the walls and floor. Wife and infant daughter were never found. Foundation agents recovered one instance of SCP-1015-01 on site. Other instances are to be contained by making use of D-Class personnel to avoid inadvertent ownership of SCP-1015-01 by Foundation personnel.


have bourbon in them. And I also want to watch an online show that one of my best friends is in.  So we're not going to be able to see that show today. I didn't realize this, but this theater, how they're running the show, it's pay what you can. And if you send in the donation after a certain time, they don't send you the link to watch it until the next day. So it's too late for that today. So we're going to have to see that show tomorrow. And I'm seeing this show because my best friend Jasmine Milan Williams is an actress and she wrote a beautiful scene of a grandma and a granddaughter face timing on Christmas. It's so cute. And of course, I'll leave the link in the description for you guys to go check it out. If you want, it's pay what you can. It is more than just that. It's a bunch of actors that created pieces or I believe every actor created their own piece because I know my friend did. And let's talk about this more in the kitchen because I want to make those bourbon balls I was talking about earlier. So let's let's go to the kitchen. For the recipe, I know I need powdered sugar, Nilla wafers, bourbon and walnuts. You're talking to me? I'm talking to whoever wants to listen. We only have this much left and a food processor and these cookies, you don't actually have to bake them because you're just mixing this all they're just food processing all of this together and then rolling them up into cute little balls. And that's it. The thing that takes the longest is actually making these into little balls. Okay, so I ground up the Nilla wafers and the walnuts. It's three cups of Nilla wafers, one cup of walnuts or pecans and I threw it in this big container because you're going to have to mix it up. And I looked at the recipe and you also need light corn syrup and cocoa powder and then half a cup of bourbon and one cup of powdered sugar in this and then what half a cup of powdered sugar to roll the balls. And it doesn't really matter what order you put this in. I don't think so. I just dump it all at the same time. Actually, you know what I like to do? I like to do the powder first because in this tablespoon because then the powder on the tablespoon helps the corn syrup not stick to the to the tablespoon as much. So that's why I like to do it. And it falls out so nicely. So like I was saying, I found out about this show because my best friend is in it and she had randomly told me, oh, I'm going to do the show. I wrote it. I'm filming it myself and I'm editing it myself. Do you want to read the script? And I was like, yeah, and I read it and it's so, so cute. It's about this grandma reading a book for her granddaughter on FaceTime because it's they they're not able to be with each other and it's really heartwarming and adorable. And I just I we we like to give each other feedback in artistic projects like this because sometimes you just need somebody else to give you a fresh eye. But I just gave her the tiniest little note so it wouldn't make more sense of what she was trying to say. So this show is actually a set that they built in the theater. They built a whole set looks very, very Christmasy, has fireplace and the couches and the tree. I only saw a little sneak peek that she gave on on Instagram. Wow, we almost didn't have enough bourbon. Oh, it's of course not just her. There's some people that are singing and basically what it is, it's a bunch of actors that have been out of work this whole time that created their own work and then came to do it in the theater. So I'm assuming this way they didn't have to pay any kind of rights to be able to do a show because usually when you do a play you have to play, you have to pay in order to legally do that play. I'm gonna get the link for that tomorrow and I'm really excited to watch it because I haven't seen any virtual shows, any kind of virtual shows and I've seen there's been a bunch but for some reason I just haven't really took the time to but this is my best friend so I really want to watch this show. She was in another one a little bit earlier this year that I didn't get a chance to watch and I was like I'm being a bad friend I need to watch this. Now this is all mixed up and now it's time to turn it into balls. It smells so good and I'm going to put a half a cup of powdered sugar in the counter here for rolling so I'm going to roll these into little balls. I was thinking about measuring them or weighing the balls so that I can get them the same size but I'm just going to eyeball it and right before the pandemic hit I was actually wanting to be in some kind of live performance because I missed theater I haven't done it in a while and then the pandemic happened so I can't do it so I was thinking of maybe doing something for that's similar to this either I write it myself and then it gets showcased in some kind of theater or maybe being in a Zoom show like a lot of places are doing Zoom shows. Something that I've noticed about virtual shows is that they want to hire local people to wherever that theater is based out of I'm speaking specifically of theaters that are looking to do virtual shows and I'm not sure if that's because they want to make sure that you're in their time zone or this other thought is probably the one that makes more sense is that they want to make sure that they're hiring local talent so their actors that are out of work they want to hire them because right now technically they can get anybody from anywhere because it's all going to be online they might be sending them costumes because I know some of these virtual shows they are sending them costumes I'm realizing my headshots that I wanted to do I'm not going to be able to do until next year because everything is closed. It was really good I'm realizing that these are the cookies that I was eating during my ASMR video if you guys saw that but they're so good they are bitter he didn't definitely taste the bourbon in there took me like maybe 20 minutes really good tastes amazing with coffee of course I'm not having coffee right now but it tastes really good with coffee if you are and I recommend these these are so good I made them a little bit bigger than I usually do I'm going to end the video here and I'll see you guys tomorrow we'll watch the show and eat some cookies and see what else we can do and at the end of every video I feature another channel this is today's feature if you would like to be featured on my next video make sure to subscribe like this video and leave me a comment


Gamers have been looking for variety in their hardware selection, especially in the GPU market in mobile devices, where Nvidia has the hefty chunk of the pie. Here's a device that is entirely powered by AMD, which looks to shake up the status quo and show consumers that there are options outside Team Green. The MSI Delta 15 has a sleek aluminum chassis that looks exceptional, replacing the gaming aggressiveness with a rectangular body and low-key branding. The lid has an eagle badge in the upper right corner, which is glossy and looks luxurious. Despite carrying a Ryzen 75 800H and an RX 6700M, the laptop weighs only 1.9kg and has a profile of just 19mm. The base has a large grille, which is used for ventilation, with the cooling sitting directly behind it. We have a keyboard with no numpad, a backlight and large keycaps. However, the key travel is short and the feedback is a bit mushy, which isn't the best for gaming. The touchpad has a small size, but the surface is smooth and delivers a satisfying click. The laptop has for USB 3.2 generation two ports, two Type A and two Type C. There's also an HDMI 2.0 port and a 3.5mm audio jack. We would have loved to see an Ethernet port since you might want a hardwire connection if you play competitively. There are two FHD IPS panels to choose from, with either a 144Hz or a 240Hz refresh rate. We tested the 240Hz option since the RX 6700M can sustain high FPS at 1080p in most games. The panel is not only good for gaming, thanks to its 8ms response time, but has awesome creator capabilities, offering near full sRGB coverage and fantastic accuracy when paired with our design and gaming profile. The screen uses PWM but only up to 82 nits, which is OK. But would the 240Hz refresh rate hurt the battery? It has a rather big capacity of 82Wh and delivers great battery life, given the display type and the powerful components. Our tests show 11 hours and 30 minutes of web browsing, or 10 hours and 30 minutes of video playback, on a single charge. The pairing of the Ryzen 7 5 800H and the RX 6700M is ideal for gaming, as despite being last gen, Zen 3 CPUs can still deliver good performance for creator work. The AMD GPU performs close to the RTX 3070 in gaming, however, AMD doesn't have the encoding and rendering features that Nvidia has, which is helpful if you want to dabble in video editing, VFX, or animation. Despite the more portable body, the laptop fits 5 heat pipes, with 2 thin ones for the CPU, 2 thicker ones for the GPU, and 1 more for the VRM and GPU memory. The setup doesn't do the Ryzen 7 5 800H any justice, as the CPU hardly goes above its base clock speed of 3.2GHz. The GPU reaches 86°C, but also runs at speeds way above 2GHz. The temperature can be felt on the outside, as the hot spot of the base nearly reaches 55°C. While the laptop's already apart, let's see its upgradeability. The laptop offers 2 Sodom slots and 2 M.2 slots for upgrades, however, they are rather difficult to access, since in addition to the 13 Philips head screws, you have to remove the motherboard as well. The cooling and the slots are on the other side. You can check out our detailed teardown video, which shows exactly what to do. The MSI Delta 15 can be a fantastic device for gamers while providing a content creation-ready display. However, AMD GPUs haven't been great for productivity, while the cooling can use some help, as the hardware generates excessive heat, which can be felt on the keyboard. Generally, we think that MSI had a raw gem in its hands, but they just didn't do a good enough job polishing it. With that said, the Asus TUF Gaming A15FA507 is a better option in our view. Of course, we've done a lot more tests and you can check out all the results in our in-depth review on laptopmedia.com. You'll find the link in the description below the video.
