One of the most common questions that I get from viewers of the channel is, hey DT, why do you use this particular Linux distribution and not that particular Linux distribution? People really want to know. People want to know why I don't use their distribution, meaning the distribution they're currently using. Hey, it's fantastic. I'm using it. Why aren't you using it? And, you know, typically I don't respond to those questions because I have literally gotten that question thousands of times over the six years or so that I've been doing this YouTube channel and that it's kind of a pointless question. I'm not going to waste my time answering it. But I did want to address one particular Linux distribution and it's fanboys. And that is Linux Mint. And the reason is I want to address this is because most of the people that ask me this question, it seems, are specifically asking me why I don't run Linux Mint. They want to know why I choose to run Arch Linux and ArchBase Linux distributions for the most part. Why do I choose Arch and not Linux Mint? What is it that I have against Linux Mint? They want to know that. Or sometimes I get much more general question like, hey, DT, why does it seem like you and all of the other YouTubers that are popular? They're all using ArchBase systems. I see guys running Manjaro, you're running Arco. Some people are running Mainline Arch. It's always these ArchBase distributions that these Linux YouTubers are using. Why aren't they using Linux Mint? I don't see any of the popular Linux YouTubers using Linux Mint, DT. Why aren't you? Well, the answer to this is actually kind of simple. So they're right. You don't see a lot of big Linux YouTubers using Linux Mint. I'm sure there's some out there. But for the most part, a lot of us are ArchBase Linux distribution users. I use Arco, Brodie Robertson, I think uses Mainline Arch, the Linux Cast, he hops around, but I know he's kind of an Arch fanboy. I know Chris Titus Tech has been an Arch fanboy. He's also used Rocky Linux, which is a server distribution. He's also used NixOS. They're kind of all power user kind of distributions. All kind of similar in that you build your own operating system, mental outlaw was using Gen2, I think. So yeah, you know, we're not the kind of users. None of us, none of those Linux YouTubers I just talked about are the kind of users that probably would want to use Linux Mint. Not that Linux Mint is a bad distribution. It's just Linux Mint is not necessarily built for users like us. People that want to customize and configure things we want to be able to have a really flexible operating system that we can rip out all the pieces that we don't want to use. We can put back all the pieces that we do want to use. We can essentially just build our own operating system. And Arch Linux is actually built with that in mind, right? If you've ever done an Arch Linux base install, at the end of the day, you run through this quick like 10 minute installation process. And then at the end of it, all you have is a TTY, right? All you have is a cursor. And from there, you decide if you want to install a display server like Xorg or Wayland, depending on if you are actually going to use it as a desktop computer, if you are install Xorg or Wayland, depending on what desktop environment or window manager you choose. And whichever desktop environment or window manager you install, it's not going to be configured in any way.  And since I'm that kind of user, it makes sense for me to use something like Arch rather than Linux Mint, which was not built with that purpose in mind. With a distribution like Linux Mint, and I would also say like the flagship edition of Ubuntu, their standard GNOME edition of Ubuntu. And really most Linux desktop distributions, they're built around a desktop environment that's already been configured for you. They've already set it up. They've already sent all the preferences. They ship with a suite of applications, and it's basically built with the idea that you could just use it as is and you never really need to change anything. And that's great. If you're one of those people that actually want to change everything, though, it's horrible because literally you have to remove everything. And some of these desktop Linux distributions make it really hard because like with Ubuntu, with their customized GNOME desktop environment, that whole thing is like one big meta package that gets installed and trying to rip out individual pieces of their GNOME desktop environment. Maybe I like some applications or some parts of that desktop environment, but I want to rip out others. And a lot of times you can't because trying to remove that one part of their customized GNOME desktop would remove the entire desktop. That's an issue, right? That's the kind of issue you would run into on something like Ubuntu or probably some of the desktop editions of Linux Mint with their Sentiment Edition, their Mate edition, their XFCE edition, right? They've already got it themed. They got all the preferences set. They've got their suite of applications they ship with. And what if I don't even want to use that desktop? Now, Linux Mint only has three ISOs with three desktops, right? What if I don't want to use either Sentiment, Mate or XFCE? Maybe all I want to use is the awesome window manager just throwing that out there. Right? Well, what I would have to do, of course, is install awesome and configure it myself. I have all of my own config files. That's not a problem. I'll pick and choose the suite of applications I want to install to use with awesome window manager on Linux Mint. But then I've still got Sentiment still installed on the system. Let's most assume that I installed the Sentiment edition and then put awesome on that. Well, I want to rip out all the Sentiment stuff. You know, how hard is that? Right? I installed essentially a desktop only. The Linux Mint is not a server distribution of the desktop Linux distribution that shipped with a particular desktop. Now I want to rip everything out the desktop. All the applications that are tied to it. All the applications they shipped with it that aren't tied to it. I've got probably hundreds and hundreds of things I need to try to get in there and remove because I'm not ever going to use what they shipped with. So it would be like the entire wrong process of doing this is using something that was already built that is not built in any way to the way I want it and then try to tear it all down, rip out everything and then replace it with all the things I want or I could have just started with a blank canvas, which is Arch Linux and then do it that way. And honestly, what I just described, 10 times easier on Arch than a distribution like Linux Mint or Ubuntu. Now, again, that doesn't make Linux Mint bad and doesn't make Arch necessarily good. It's just different, right? And for someone like me, Arch is much more suitable for me than Mint. Now, other people, they don't tinker. They don't go in and customize things. They pretty much whatever is on their desktop environment, whatever the distro ships with, they just use it as is. I know a lot of people like that. I install Linux Mint on a lot of computers, actually. I install Linux Mint all the time on friends computers, family members, computers, people that want me to install Linux on their computer, their laptop that was running Windows. Now they want to try Linux because Windows is buggy, it's crashing all the time, whatever it happens to be. And I've got a variety of distributions I'll put on people's machines, but Linux Mint is actually one I put on machines all the time for certain kind of computer users. My mom, my mom runs Linux Mint or has run Linux Mint for a number of years at one point. Sometimes I swap it out. Sometimes I put her on Ubuntu there for a little while. I had her on MX Linux. It didn't matter. They were all the same to her because she's not the kind of person that goes in and changes anything about the desktop environment. She doesn't even change the wallpaper, right? As long as there's an easy way to open the web browser so she can go to Facebook, she's happy. I think a lot of the people that asked me this kind of question, especially a lot of the Linux Mint users that asked me this kind of question, they think maybe that there's something fundamentally wrong with Linux Mint in my eyes, that's why I won't use it. And that's not the case at all. At the end of the day, if we strip out the GUI, the desktop environment that ships with various distributions. At the end of the day, they're pretty much all the same underneath the hood. So for somebody like me that's been using Linux for a long time, the big difference between the various distributions, the biggest difference really is kind of the desktop environment that ships with it because once you get rid of that, it's all the same bash shell and shell utilities. And, you know, for me, it's all the same underneath the hood for the most part. So it's all about that desktop. So if I'm not going to use your desktop, why am I using your distribution? And again, that's just me. Now, for some people, there will be under the hood things that do make a difference. Like when we talk about ARCH, one of the biggest reasons people say they use ARCH is the AUR. It's all the packages that are in the AUR. And I get that. I could certainly say I'm a fanboy as far as the AUR. I love the AURs. Definitely one of the big selling points. But you know what, Linux Mint and pretty much any other Debian slash Ubuntu based distribution, you can find all the software you want on it, too, because the Debian repos are very full. The Ubuntu repos are very full. And then now you have the additions of snaps, flatbacks, app images. You can pretty much get all the software you want. So really at the end of the day, because it's all about that desktop, that's why I'm not a Mint user. That's why I've never been a Mint user. I've never been a desktop environment user. So it's not like I have anything against Linux Mint. If I'm not a desktop environment user, then I'm really not gonna use pretty much most Linux distributions out there that are designed primarily for a particular desktop environment. When I was an Ubuntu user, oddly enough, I almost never installed mainline Ubuntu. I usually installed a Ubuntu server and then built my own desktop environment essentially around whatever window manager I was on at the time. I based that off of a Ubuntu server. I imagine that's why someone that works in the IT field, somebody like Chris Titus, probably loves a Linux distribution like Rocky Linux, right? Because it's a server distribution. It's a blank canvas. He can then build it into whatever he wants. Having said all this, as a power user that likes to customize my own particular desktop environments and build things from the ground up, just know this. Just because I don't use Linux Mint doesn't mean I don't like Linux Mint, right? It's just not for me. It's not a distribution that was built for me, right? It was built as strictly a desktop Linux distribution that includes either Cinnamon, XFCE, or Mate. Three desktop environments I don't plan on ever living in. Now that doesn't make it a bad distribution, right? I've already said, I love Linux Mint. As far as I recommend Linux Mint all the time, I sit on camera many times. Linux Mint is one of the best Linux distributions out there, especially for new to Linux users. I've already said, I've installed Linux Mint dozens of times on other people's machines, never on my machines. So it's a fine distribution. And what does it matter whether I'm running it or not? If you're running Linux Mint and you really love it, hey, man, keep rocking it, it doesn't matter. What you run doesn't matter to me. What I run really shouldn't matter to you, right? If you are on a particular Linux distribution, whatever it is, and you're loving it, man, keep using it. Don't let anybody try to sway you in some other direction. I don't let people do that in my software choices. I run what I wanna run. You run what you wanna run. Peace, guys.


So PFF is back at it again, but this time with their quarterback ranking. So let's see what Lamar Jackson and everybody else in the NFL ranks for this upcoming season. YouTube team keeping clean. What's going on is engraving here with another video and yes, another list. Now again, this is not my own list because y'all know I hate making lists. I don't like making lists at all, not one bit, but I do love going over other people's lists. Now we went over the running backs list already where they had JK Dolvin's at 26. So let's go over the quarterbacks. But before we go over this list, I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. I know the interview with Sean Way's father, Randy. I know that was something that was very, very different, but I appreciate y'all checking it out. I appreciate all the positivity, all the positive comments that y'all left on the video. And I appreciate y'all just really rocking with the interview, man. I had a lot of fun doing it and like I said, it was a privilege. So shout out to him for even being willing to come on. Shout out to y'all team, Keep It Clean. I hope your day, your week, your month, your year is going really good. And if it's not, you got plenty of time to turn it around. Plenty of time. So don't think that, oh, just because these first five months haven't been the best five months in the world, you're still here. So you got plenty of time to turn it around. So don't give up. Don't quit. Whatever it is that you're doing, please keep going. Please keep going. Don't quit. Shout out to all of y'all, man. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. Real quick shout out to all the Team Keep It Clean patrons. Appreciate y'all for showing extra support because it helps a lot. Trust me, it helps a whole lot. So I love all of y'all, man. Without further ado, we need to get into this list. Now, what is this list based off of? Well, let's read. And it came from Bruce Krakowski, who is a former NFL quarterback. I think he played for the Bucks. I know he played for the Steelers. Did he play for the Bronx? It don't even matter. Anyway, this is what the list is about. PFF's quarterback rankings are based on grading every player on every play and tapping into multiple years of data to project future performance. We go beyond just last season's performances and the grading works to isolate each quarterback's performance from that of his supporting cast, making for more effective projections. All right. So there we go. So this is based off of future projections, how they feel about these quarterbacks future based off of their past and based off of their personnel as well. So now we have a clear understanding of what this list is. So let's take a look at it first. Of course, Lamar Jackson, he is ranked at number eight. So number eight out of 32. And let's see why. It says regression is likely when coming off of an MVP campaign. And we saw that from Lamar Jackson. Okay, that's true. Because how do you follow up an MVP campaign? How? Like anyway, the Ravens offense was less effective in the run game and the offensive line struggled at times this past season. At times, I think you want to say it struggled for the entirety of the season. And it was Ravens Achilles heel literally all year. And that's the exact reason why they faced the exit out of the playoffs a lot sooner rather than later. Anyway, it says still Lamar Jackson continued to prove he is one of the most dynamic playmakers in the NFL, if not the most. If the Ravens can help him out with a more efficient and effective pass game, sound like they've been listening to the videos tied into their run concepts. Then I would expect Jackson to get back to an MVP form. Baltimore has a tough schedule ahead compared to last year. So Jackson will have to shoulder the load to prove he can take the Ravens back to the promised land. Has he not been doing that already? See, what the Ravens need to do in order to get to the promised land is the exact opposite of the end of this. It said, again, let me reread it again. So Jackson will have to shoulder the load to prove he can take the Ravens back to the promised land. Well, show during the load is what he's been doing for the past couple of years. What we need, what the Ravens need is for Lamar Jackson. It can't just be the Lamar Jackson show. He's, of course, going to do his thing. We know he's going to make his plays. We know he's going to make all them highlights and whatnot. But it can't just be him. It can't. And not even that it's just him right now, but we just need more input from other people, too. So that's on Lamar. That's on the receivers. That's on the running backs. That's on Greg Roman. That's on the coaches. That's on everybody to make sure these other guys get involved, too. Because when these other guys get involved, it takes so much pressure off of Lamar Jackson and it takes so much attention off of Lamar Jackson. And that was so when he does make a play, it'll come out of nowhere. It ain't got to be anything that we expect. It'll just be, oh, where'd that come from? Something like that. Anyway, let's get into this list at number one is Patrick Mahomes. And you can understand why they would have Patrick Mahomes at number one. And again, we got to remember this is not just based off of last year. This is based off of these quarterbacks and the entirety of their careers. And it's based off of future projections, based off of what these guys have done in their past. So Patrick Mahomes being number one, cool. No problem. Number two, Tom Brady. Tom Brady. Tom Brady, they got all the boys back together. And they had a lot of success last year. Obviously, they are Super Bowl champions, so they had a pretty good amount of success. But they literally brought everybody back. Now, it's only old Brown. His comeback is not official yet because he got to pass the physical first.  But anyway, they got all the boys back together. So they are expecting Tom Brady to have another good season. And A, I know it did say, I think it said 2023. But hopefully that can be sped up to this year. Because if you all saw the Bleacher Report, Gridiron, where they had, they make the little videos and stuff. And they made the video of Tom Brady. How I think Bruce Arian said that he expects Tom Brady to play till he's like 50 or something like that. And they had a video of the Super Bowl in 2023. And I was like, oh, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2023 versus Baltimore Ravens in the Super Bowl. And I was like, hold up. Because you know some of them videos, they be putting us on some stuff. So maybe they can accelerate that. And that could be it this year. Anyway, number three, Ann Rogers from the Packers. You got to put a little asterisk here because it's Ann Rogers and it's a Packers. It's looking like this thing is going to get smoothed out. And it's looking like it's going to be okay. We don't know that for sure. But we haven't heard anything like this has been the quietest week with this whole Ann Rogers thing. So maybe the two sides, they end up being friends again. And they could put the whole situation in the past. Number four, Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson. He continues to do his thing. Let Russ Cook. But you know, Seahawks, they're the most effective when the running backs are cooking, when the running game is cooking. So we'll see how that offensive line is moving forward. But from what Russell Wilson has done in accomplishing the entirety of his career, I can understand this one. And of course, with future projections as well. I mean, he got one of the best receivers in the league with DK Metcalf. Still got Tyler Lockett. So yeah, they're going to do their thing. We know Seahawks, they're going to do their thing, but they got a tough division. You know, Kyla Murray and boys, they coming for them. Of course, the Rams, Rams just, Rams won't go away. They won't go away. They always going to be right there. So they letting them be known like, hey, we ain't going nowhere. And then, of course, you got the 49ers too. 49ers, we'll see what happens with them and Jimmy G. But hey, and then this whole thing with Julio Jones, they've been one of the teams that have been listed as expecting to be interested in Julio Jones. So you never know. Anyway, Deshaun Watson, oh, okay. Deshaun Watson is a, this is an interesting one because of, they lost a lot. They got like eight quarterbacks on that roster right now. So the Texans are definitely preparing for life after Deshaun Watson, it seems. But him being here, and this is based off of what he's done in the past, okay, but off his future projections and his supporting cast. This one, ah, man. I just leave that, that one got me kind of scratching my head a bit right there. Yeah, it got me scratching my head a bit because I know that with the list, this list is not based off of team success, but it is based off of the best quarterbacks in the league and about their supporting cast. And again, what they've done before, so okay, whatever. This one's cool. Josh Allen, Josh Allen, boy, he's at number six. Josh Allen last year, boy, he lit the world on fire. Lit the world on fire. Look at the difference that having that guy at the receiver position makes, and it helps everybody around him too, everybody. It helps the quarterback, it helps other receivers, it helps the defense because y'all are scoring more points, so it makes the defensive job easier. It helps everybody. When you get that, y'all already know, man. So Josh Allen, cool. Now right here, um, that press guy is at number seven, and Lamar is at number eight. Now, again, um, then see this list, this is where it's a bit confusing because it does seem like it may be based a lot more on stats than actual impact to the team. Now, we know the Cowboys need Dak Prescott, and Dak Prescott needs the Cowboys. We know that for sure. But it's like, and we talk about this all the time with Dak Prescott, with Deshaun Wise, so it was a lot of other quarterbacks too. We're how they'll have these pretty numbers in the passing game, these beautiful numbers. Oh man, these numbers are so gorgeous. Whoa, they look so great. But then you look at their record and it's like, oh, did those numbers, do they really mean that much?  And again, that serves as another indication that this list is not based off of team success. It seems like it's based more off of just individual quarterback success. That's cool. All right, so Dak Prescott was at seven, Lamar Jackson followed him up at eight. Number nine, oh, Matt Ryan with the Falcons. Okay, now this is a very interesting one. Now, Matt Ryan, of course, ever since the whole Super Bowl debacle, he has just, I feel like he's found himself lost. And people haven't really appreciated Matt Ryan as much as they did before. So, it's almost like he just finds himself just sort of floating around the league, not really getting mentioned much, not really getting respected much either. When you hear about Matt, well, you don't really hear about Matt Ryan like that. I mean, recently you heard the whole rumor about that they said Julio said he lost some zip on his arm, lost some zip on a deep bowl. And who knows though, because it was a patriotist guy. And they probably just trying to stir up some drama, trying to create a rift so Julio could get moved because you know how media works. But Matt Ryan and Falcons. Now, he has, Hayden Hurst, got Cowpets now too, of course, Calvin really, and that fullback with them thighs. Like this is like a fullback version of Saquon Barkley like times two with the thighs. Like it's real deal, man. I forgot his name, my apologies, but that dude's legs like it's for real, man. But Julio Jones is apparently on the move. So this offense that could be, it may not be as much once Julio, well obviously it won't be as much when Julio, because Julio is Julio. As many games as he's missed, Julio still Julio. Julio is a sort of bailout type of wide receiver. You could just throw it up and Julio, he'll save you. He will save you. And it's always nice when quarterbacks have those type of wide receivers because it just, it makes a quarterback look that much better. And it's a beautiful thing. But Matt Ryan, like I said, he's been sort of lost in the shuffle. Number 10, Baker Mayfield. Now he has been on the come up. Baker Mayfield, he's pretty good, man. And he has a very, very good supporting cast. So I could see why they would have him this high based off of future projections, especially with the Browns in this new system. It seems like they figured it out. They really started to figure it out a lot more on offense because they have Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. The running game obviously goes through both of those guys.  And then of course, they're receivers. They have some very high quality wide receivers and they use a lot of play action because the running game is so effective that makes the play action effective. That makes Baker Mayfield effective. So I can understand why he's here. Next up is Matthew Stafford. And again, this is another reminder. It's not based off of team success, this list, but it's based off of future projections pertaining to the quarterback as an individual. And now his supporting cast, it is better, especially when it comes to defense. So we're going to see how Matt Stafford does, man. I'm excited to see him with the Rams, especially being a Ravens fan. I mean, we're going to see them in week. What is it, week 16, 17 or 17 or 18? I forgot which week it is, but Ravens will be seeing Matt Stafford and them up close and personal. So we'll see how he does with his new uniform. It seems like he got the much better end of the deal with him and Jared Goff. Like Jared Goff go, oh, yeah, we're about to be the L... Oh, we already are the L.A. Rams. We got this new stadium. We about to get fans back. And then all of a sudden, boom, oh, no, you're going to the Lions. Yikes. That hurts your soul. Next up, number 12, Ryan Tannehill. We were just talking about how effective that play action is so much over there with the Cleveland Browns. It is no different here. It is no different here because Derek Henry has been that guy for the Tennessee Titans. Everything runs through Derek Henry on that team. Everything. So that makes Ryan Tannehill, Ryan Tannehill, I just call him Ryan Tannehill. Ryan Tannehill's job that much easier because all he got to do, he could just fake it to Derek Henry. He could even call it out like, hey, I'm about to fake it to Derek Henry, but I'm really about to throw it. And the defenses, they'll be so keen on Derek Henry that he could say that out loud. And he could fake it to him. Still, defense will be, they'll be all over Derek Henry because he just poses that much of a threat. But when you stop Derek Henry, that's when you stop that Titans offense. But again, nobody really stops Derek Henry that much unless there's the Ravens in the playoffs last year. But nobody really stops Derek Henry that much. So that allows Ryan Tannehill to be that much more effective and then when you got somebody like A.J. Brown. And you got somebody like A.J. Brown as you know, A.J. Brown is nice. He is like really, really good. I love how he plays, man. Physical, fast, not afraid. He'll fight for the ball. That's a lot of F slash P.H.s. So it'll get physical, fast, fight. He ain't afraid. I love it, man. So that makes Tannehill's job, like I said, that much easier. Next up, number 13, Derek Carr. I was just talking to somebody about Derek Carr a couple of days ago and how a Derek Carr just seems like it's just a roller coaster. This guy got all the potential in the world, but it just seems like it's just, sometimes Derek Carr will be hot, man. He'll be hot. It's like, oh, Derek Carr, okay, we see you. In other times it'll be like, oh, Derek Carr, what is going on? Hello. So I think with Derek Carr to me, it seems like the game, not that the game even has to slow down for him, but just mentally, he has to take another step forward mentally. Because he got all the tools in the world. He got some, not that he got some speed, but he can move a little bit. He got the arm and he got some talent around him too. So we'll just see how this all plays itself out this year with the Raiders. Just not week one. Don't do good week one. After that, I don't care. Next up, oh, number 14, Kirk Cousins. Kirk Cousins is another guy, very underrated as a quarterback. Very underrated. Kirk Cousins, he is somebody that a lot of people, when they hear that name, they don't really give him that respect like that. They don't. And Kirk Cousins is not a bad quarterback at all. And of course, again, Dalvin Cook, when you have one of the better running backs in the league, especially as a quarterback that makes your job, that much easier, that much easier. So shout out to him. 15. Oh, Herbert. I like Justin Herbert a lot, man. Like I always say, Justin Herbert is cold, man. He's going to be really, really good. Really, really good. Because I feel like he can do everything. He can move like a little bit. I ain't worried about that too much. But that arm, he got the big arm, but he can throw accurately even on the move. And he got some nice targets to throw to, some big targets to throw to, some targets that can move. Keenan Allen with the route, running Mike Williams with the jumping. Yeah, Herbert going to be A-OK. Then number 16, it's Ben Rollersberger. Big Ben. Wow. So that's how they feel. I feel like Ben Rollersberger actually, I feel like he's a little bit low. Because you still got Chase Claypool. You still got, you got Juju Smith-Schuster again. You got Deontay Johnson. You just got Najae Harris. So he'll help with the running game. I'm not sure how that offensive line is going to be. Because that was a big problem with them last year. But yeah, I actually feel like Ben Rollersberger is a little bit low. I feel like a lot of people are really sleeping on Ben Rollersberger going into this season. A lot of people have written Steelers off for me. Oh, no, not at all. Not at all. Especially being a Ravens fan. Like we know firsthand who these Steelers are, what these Steelers have done, what these Steelers can do. And we know firsthand. And even being a Ravens fan, even when the Steelers are down, they could be losing this guy. They could have lost that guy, that guy, that guy.  Seem like everybody's there. So with Ben Rollersberger, I actually feel like he's pretty low. Now I know last year, he started off hot. Started off hot then toward the end of the season. Got a little bit shakeier. And then the playoff game was just ugly.  Especially the very beginning of it. But I think that this is a little bit too low for him. Anyway, number the 17, Calla Murray. Calla Murray. Boy, you talk about a team providing weapons. Calla Murray, he is in such a good situation. And I mean, it's not going to happen. The car, I would be so upset if the car got Julio Jones. Because we've all seen a whole tweet with DeAndre Hopkins. He was talking about, oh, I'll read, what do you say? I'll reconstruct. What's the word? I can't think of the word right now. But I'll redo my contract. For Julio Jones. He let it be known on social media that he'll be willing to do that. And it's like, man, if just imagine that two of the best receivers in the league. And at one point, you'll have another guy who used to be one of the best receivers in the league. When he was healthy, but he ain't been healthy in a long time. That being AJ Green. So DeAndre, if they had DeAndre Hopkins, Julio Jones, AJ Green, Isabella, they drafted the fast guy, I think, Rondell Moore. They drafted him. Collin Murray, I mean, even without Julio Jones, because he obviously is not there, but they gave this guy some weapons. So future projections, I could definitely see it. Even last year, there was a point last year where Collin Murray, he was just like on a hot street. He was on a hot street. It cooled down a little bit, but Collin Murray hit pretty good, man. I'm looking forward to seeing what he does in the future. Number 18. Oh, wow, Joe Burrow. Wow, I did not anticipate him being that high. Now, I know last year he did look good, but he did have some stuff he needed to work on, but he was also a rookie. So you can't overanalyze a rookie. That's his first year. You got to see consistency, game to game, month to month, year to year. But I feel like 18 is kind of high, but that's their future, based off of what he did last year and based off of his future projections. Maybe because Cincinnati got like 50 receivers, 50 good receivers. Maybe that's why. Because Cincinnati, boy, they don't play. Oh, you want a receiver? Okay, we're going to make sure we provide receivers for you. Now, the receivers, they're going to be on offensive line blocking too, but we're going to make sure you got receivers. So maybe that's what it's based off of. Next up, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Washington football team. I forget a lot of times that he went there. I forget a lot that he went there. Ryan Fitzpatrick, obviously he's done enough to keep a job. He always got a job. He played for the Rams. He played for the Texans. He played for the Dolphins. Now he's on the Washington football team. I know I'm missing somebody too, but the Bills, the Jets, he done been around. He done been around, but he still keeps on going. But with the Washington football team, I think they got Curtis Samuel. They obviously got scary Terry. But I feel like with Ryan Tannehill, I feel like the expectations are... I feel like these teams just never... The expectations are low at... Not Tannehill, Ryan Fitzpatrick. I feel like the expectations are low because you don't... There's nothing to really expect out of him. You just expect, okay, we know Fitzpatrick. He's going to possibly do enough for us to win, but do enough to not lose. Maybe not do enough for us to win. He's a streaky quarterback here. When he's hot, he's hot. When he's not, he's not. But he doesn't really get too hot like that. I just feel like at this point in his career, even last year at this point in his career, it's just like there's not much that's expected of him.  No, you expect him to just be a placeholder until you really figure out your quarterback situation. So I think that's exactly what it is with the Washington football team. And it's tough too because you feel sometimes for other teams and stuff where it just seems like they're sort of complacent. They're just complacent like, okay, whatever. Next season, it is what it is. It's not a big deal. You don't want that. So anyway, next up, Daniel Jones from the Giants. He's at number 20. And the Giants, they really gave Daniel Jones a lot. They said, oh, can he golly day? What he played like four or five games last year? But no, we'll take him. We'll take him. We're going to pay him some 18 million a year. Kyle Rudolph. Oh, we'll take him. We'll take him. He's going to be all tight in one. Evan Ingram, take a back seat, buddy. Getting Saquon Barkley back. They drafted. I want to say, oh, they drafted. Cadarius Tony, right? But so with Daniel Jones, they're giving him weapons. They're giving him weapons. They're giving him, they put him in a position to succeed. So they saying, hey, Daniel, DJ, the ball's in your court. So go do your thing. Number 21, Trevor Lawrence. Whoa, okay. Well, I got the rookie at 21. Okay. It's going to be very interesting to see who follows Trevor Lawrence on this list, especially given that he's a rookie. Now they obviously got some decent expectations for him, but you can't really base out, unless they basing it off of last year in college and whatnot, what he did in college, if they bring in his college PFF rankings to the NFL, which I could see them doing. But this is a we'll see. We'll see how it goes. Under Trevor Lawrence, Jimmy Garoppolo. Wow. And they start, they start this off by saying, for Jimmy Garoppolo, injuries have become the story for Garoppolo. As he started, as he has started less than 50% of the 49ers game since the beginning of the 2018 season. Wow. But they did draft Trey Lance. So Jimmy Garoppolo is on a short leash. We heard so many rumors about him possibly being cut or traded. Nothing yet, but it could literally happen at any second. But he's definitely on a short leash. So I can understand why he's low.  They're going to, when you draft the quarterback in the first round, when your team drafts the quarterback in the first round, you have somebody in place already who hasn't been doing their thing, whether it be because of injury or because of bad play or shaky play. When you draft the quarterback in the first round, the current quarterback you have is going to be overly scrutinized. They're going to be watched extra close.  But if they start to make mistakes and they still show you stuff, why that gives you a reminder of the reason why your team drafted another quarterback, you're going to be ready for them to be on out. You're going to be ready for it. So that's what it's looking like with Jimmy G. 23 caution wins. Oh, they got caution wins. Hello, really? Well, okay. So it went to let the NFL last season and turnover worthy plays and didn't even play after week 14. Oh, yikes. That's why they said that. So he didn't play after week 14, but even with missing those games, he still led the league and turnover worthy plays. That's a lot. But caution wins. I think that that would, that would be a really good team for Julio to go to. That I would not like it, especially because my Ravens played him. But with caution wins, again, potentials there. Potentials there. Got to stay healthy. And just the decision making, he got to make, with the thing with him, I think he got to make better decisions early on in the game. Because with caution wins, a lot of the games that I watched from him, he, I feel like he's like, he's like a better comeback player than playing ahead. I feel like he just likes drama or something like that. He just likes all the dramatic stuff.   Let's keep it close. So then he just, he starts clicking later on, but he needs to do that from jump. Needs to do it a lot earlier. So we'll see how it goes, man. 24, oh, like, come on, man.  Like they couldn't pick one or the other. They got both of them together. Like, don't do that, man. You know Jamieson Winston gonna be the start. They not gonna start no Taysum Hill. You know they're not, I know they're not. We all know they're not. They ain't start no Taysum Hill.  I guess they just feeling like, hey, we don't really expect that much from them. Him being this slow, 24, wow. Don't even know what to say about that. Number 25, Justin Fields from the Bears. Okay, Justin Fields, I can see why he is this slow. Again, the projections, man. The rookie, Trevor Lawrence was at 21. I guess they expect him to do better than Justin Fields, but we'll see how that goes. But Justin Fields with the Bears, like it's with him again, it's only a matter of time. It's only a matter of time. I think, yeah, Nick Folz is still there for now, but and for them to even had traded, I don't know what was going on with that, but he's still there for now and the clock is ticking. Well, as soon as they drafted, even before they drafted him, the clock was already ticking. So it's only a matter of time before Fields takes the field. A little cheesy joke. 26, Jared Goff. I don't even want to say too much on, because I feel bad for him, man. Like I said, I feel bad for him to have to get traded from there to there, especially with everything that you went through at the previous spot with the Rams, and y'all made it to the soup. That had to be painful, man. That had to be really painful, man, but that's the business, man. 27, oh, Kim Newton is this slow? I guess, again, I know it's not just based off of last season, but last season sure plays a big part, because and Kim Newton did get hurt, too. Well, he got the C-19, so he missed some time, and then how he talked about in the I Am Athlete Podcast, he just never got to get into a good rhythm.  He's not going to do better than Justin Fields or Jamie Swinton. I ain't even got to go back through the whole list. Anyway, 28, Sam Dono with the Panthers. I forget that he got traded there, but yeah, he's a Panther. Yeah, okay, I ain't got no problem with that one. 29, Tour Tug of Allure. This guy, he got a chance to do something this year. He got a chance because when you look at what's around him, look at like he got wide. They drafted wider. Okay, cool. But they got Devonte Parker. They got Will Fuller. They got Albert Wilson. It's another guy cannot think of his name right now. Is it Preston Williams? Yeah, Preston Williams, I think. But so he got a nice little supporting cast now, man. They're running back. I'm not sure who they're running back with the situation. Is it still Breeder? It might be, but I'm not 100% sure. But Tour got some weapons now, man. Well, he already has some weapons, but he got more than, of course, Mike Giusecchi as well. But Tour got some weapons. He might be able to do some stuff. Then still from the AFC East, Zach Wilson, from the New York Jets. Okay, cool. And you got to say to him, why they got Jalen Hertz this low? Woo, boy. Jalen Hertz at 31. Wow. I feel like he's the 31st best quarterback going into the NFL. I mean, going into the league this year. Oh, wow. We're going into the season this year in the league. Sorry.  Anyway, and then number 32 at the very, very bottom, Drew Locke. And let's just read this one just to close it out. For Drew Locke, the reason the Broncos acquired veteran quarterback Teddy Bridge ordered to compete with Locke for the starting job is because Locke had the 32nd ranked passing grade out of 36 qualifying quarterbacks. He must find a way to clean up his 23 turnover where he plays. Oh, yeah. One less than Carson wins and make better decisions. Locke showed promise at times. He had the eighth best passing grade when throwing between 15 and 20 yards and executing play action pass. The leash won't be long. If given the opportunity, Locke has to play consistently and smart for Fangio to stick with his young quarterback. I don't think he sticks with him at all. I think Teddy Bridgewater gets that from jump.  When your team trades for a quarterback, especially when you've been starting it, even if they, I think they only gave up like a six round pick, something like that. They didn't give up anything crazy for Teddy Bee. But still, your team wouldn't got a quarterback and you were the quarterback for the last couple of years, but they went and got somebody, somebody that's been in the league for a while, somebody that has a lot more experience than you. They went out and got somebody. So you pretty much know, they didn't bring in this guy just old. Let's upgrade at the backup quarterback position. No, they brought him in to take your job. They brought him in for that. So even though he's at 32, it's not going to be him that ends up being a starter. But anyway, this was a fun list to go over. I loved it. I loved it a lot. I had a lot of fun doing this list.   But going over it, oh man, yeah, I'm with that all day. So anyway, team, keep it clean. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. Like I said, man, keep your heads up, man. Keep your heads up and please tell somebody you love them today. Check up on people. Check up on your friends, your family, all of that. We out.


The Eastern Caribbean Telecommunications Authority, ECTEL, on 28 October 2021 held its 42nd meeting of the Council of Ministers. The incoming Chairman is St Lucia's Senior Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, POTS, Transport, Physical Development and Urban Renewal, Honourable Stevenson King. Minister King on Thursday 4 November provided an overview of the major outcomes of the 42nd meeting of the Council of Ministers. They include the deliberation and approval of the budget to fund the work of ECTEL and the National Telecommunications Regulatory Commission's NTRC's in all five member states. ECTEL has recommended the new EC bill to member states and to date, the Federation of St Kitts and Nevis has passed the EC Act, though it is not yet enforced. In the other member states, the EC bill is under active consideration at the level of Cabinet of Ministers. In St Lucia, the Department of Telecommunications in the Ministry of Infrastructure, POTS, Transport, Physical Development and Urban Renewal is in communication with the Attorney-General's chambers to prepare the EC bill for a formal presentation to be made to the Cabinet of Ministers for Honourable Transmission to the Parliament of St Lucia. Once the Cabinet of Ministers has given its approval, it is expected that the EC bill will be prepared for presentation. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the world into a state of increased reliance on data, mobile devices and computers to facilitate remote work and online learning, among other tasks. The pandemic also exposed the inequity and accessibility to broadband services by consumers in the ECTEL member states. Something that ECTEL has taken note of and will be working to address. As schools moved to online classes learning, it became clear that there was a substantial digital divide among students across the ECTEL member states. For some students, broadband was not available where they lived or broadband was not affordable or the quality of service was not acceptable. In response, a number of Universal Service Fund projects have been implemented to provide broadband access to students affected by the pandemic. These include build-out of a fiber network to serve customers with no access to fixed broadband service on the east coast in the Commonwealth of Dominica, providing devices and subsidized access to mobile broadband to 1,800 students, and fixed broadband to 700 households with students in synchids and nevus. 3. Providing access rather providing 4,000 electronic devices and 4,000 MiFIs to students in St. Lucia. And finally, connecting more than 340 households rather with broadband and providing 1,000 students with a tablet and internet access in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The chairman noted that the revelations have made ECTEL's role as a regional regulatory body for electronic communications even more significant as the 21-year-old Telecommunications Act and regulations are no longer fit for purpose in this new paradigm. He also highlighted the entity's achievements thus far. Over the past 21 years, sector regulation has delivered several wins to consumers, including increased fixed and mobile broadband penetration, significant reductions in calling rates, increased fixed broadband speeds, introduction of new technologies such as 4G, and more recently increased customer choice with the introduction of mobile number portability in 2019. The electronic communications sector has also contributed significantly to economic growth in the five ECTEL member states. In the past five years, service providers have invested an average of $136 million annually across the ECTEL member states while providing full employment for more than 780 people. The chairmanship is rotated annually, offering each member state the opportunity to serve as ECTEL's head of the Council of Ministers. ECTEL is made up of three components, a Council of Ministers, a Regional Directorate, and a National Telecommunications Regulatory Commission in each of its five member states, namely the Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Neves, St. Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.


It went pretty bad, you know, I don't have really a lot of positive to take from here. I don't know. I need to think long and hard about what I have to do and what I want to do because this is going nowhere, so I'm disappointed. I've been off the bike for a bit, come back, threw myself into the deep end and there are no practices before this, so it makes you appreciate the level of what we ride at but you don't appreciate it when you're in the mid-season. It's super happy to be on the bike. Today was just a bonus, so the points I scored were points that I wouldn't have scored if I wasn't able to ride, so a great little practice. Learned a lot about the track, which I didn't know. So yeah, loads of positives to take away from it and now I can start to build as the week's gone. Yeah, it wasn't always not so bad. I took some important points, so same if I know a little bit. It was not what I had planned, so anyway, I'm really happy about today and thank you very much to my team, for sure, for my family sponsor, all the fans here. So I'm really happy, looking forward. It was close, it was close, but I had number one today and I had a big problem after the grading because there was always more water on the track so when you don't win the start, it was not fighting. But later, when you push not too much water, it was more better on the track because there was many lines and it was okay for me because we had good sprockets on the last two hits. So it was a good meeting, but it was close to the final. What a place to be back on the podium here in Rotsoff in this amazing atmosphere and it was a good racing track and like you say, back in the top, fighting for the championship and that's who I want to be, so I'm very happy after today. I'm looking for the next round and today is our historic and we'll see what happens in the next round. Congratulations! Thank you.


Globally, 33% of high-quality protein and 17% of calories in our diets come from livestock. They are an important source of key micronutrients. But climate change is impacting the health of livestock. Around the world, farmers are battling changing weather patterns, pests, and disease. Stressed and unhealthy animals are more vulnerable to disease, produce less milk, and continue to contribute towards greenhouse gas emissions. How can we help livestock farmers protect their livelihoods? By addressing climate-related threats to animal health, FAO supports farmers in building more sustainable and resilient agrifood systems. This is done by ensuring good production practices, vaccinations, biosecurity, and feed for livestock. This means farmers can raise healthy livestock, sell more products and enjoy a more nutritious and diverse diet for many years to come.


Almost everyone I know loves the fall season and so here are my essentials that I want to recommend for you guys when it comes to fall fashion 2020. The first one is what I call transitional pieces. Pretty simple, it's for the transition between summer to fall and fall to winter. And the main focus for these is mainly for your own comfort and the temperatures dropping. So this is going to include anything that is a long sleeve. So normal long sleeves like this one here from Uniqlo and I really like that brown color palettes. I've got this thin overshirt from Lulu Lemon and work shirt from Uniqlo as well. I really like these items because one doesn't have a collar and has a pretty sleek look while the other is a simple work shirt and I've just been appreciating buttoning both of these up to the top just for a little bit of fun and a tighter cinched vibe. And you could also throw flannels under this category as well. Also turtlenecks are a great sophisticated look that you just don't see enough. I really dig that dark muted orange tone for a turtleneck but a black one or a gray one will do just fine. And of course, how can you forget the hoodie. This has probably been a staple because of quarantine and a great way to switch it up this year is something I've been seeing a lot online. And that is going to be tying your hoodie or work shirt around your body kind of like a sling bag or a shell jacket that has a sling to it as well. And whenever you do this, it's going to add a pop of color or a contrast in fabric texture that I've really been digging. And especially when it comes to the hotter fall days, you can take off your overshirt or whatever it is and tie it around your body instead of your waist and it just has a better look to it. And last of my transitional pieces is of course the puffer vest. These are hella underrated and I also don't see these enough out there. They're great. I'm going to do this one from the Uniqlo U collection. It's very light but also very warm.   I like rocking this underneath a hoodie or a long sleeve. It's a very versatile item that doesn't get enough love. Go wild with any of these transitional pieces that I recommended. Get different sizing, get different colors. These items are just meant to hold you off until you're underneath a thick park of coats come Christmas time. And just to be clear, these transitional pieces aren't jackets. They're either over shirts, long sleeves or thick crew necks, whatever it is. And now we can move on to the next essential, which are jackets. Any jacket of your choice, there are plenty. You guys know what is out there. My jacket of choice that I've been starting to wear a lot more is this denim jacket from way back in the day. This is from my girl's grandpa that we share. And I also like this North Face Parka for inclement weather. Obviously yours will probably be different. It might be a leather jacket, a bomber or a varsity jacket. I have all those as well. All of that is totally up to you. Your preferences are going to change day by day. I also really like this worker's jacket with a furry collar. But like I said, choice is yours. Our next essential is another underutilized item that old Johnny would have recommended, but he was actually right about. And those are tank tops. This could be categorized under your transitional pieces as well. But wait, Johnny, I thought this was a fall video. Yes, it is. And the main reason you want a tank top for the fall season is that collar. See, you're never going to see a regular shirt designed with a collar like this. And that is why I've always liked tank tops as an underlayer piece. Maybe I didn't get it right back in the day and had a weird style. But for those harder fall days, maybe a tank top and a denim jacket or a work shirt will be cool enough for you. And for whenever it gets colder, maybe a tank top and a puffy bomber jacket might be the move. But the choice is yours. To me, it gives your outfit a little bit more of a retro look. But also, if you do this, I do recommend wearing some neck wear.  You got to cover your face or it could be in the form of jewelry because my collar bones will just stick out. I'll just look kind of weird. Now, moving on, we got beanies, hats and crew socks. I already made a dedicated video on hats and beanies and how they make your fits 10 times better. But to keep it short, it's just a great accessory for those days where you don't feel like doing your hair while giving your outfit a pop of color and texture. And crew socks, they just make sense during the winter time.  And for hats, they're just like beanies, but more of a year-round thing. People don't like wearing beanies during the summer. I do it anyways.  Get as many colors as you want, because like I said, it's a great way to add a pop of color to an outfit. And here's what I have in my wardrobe. I have plenty of dad hats. I have a trucker hat and I have a lot of beanies and a ton of crew socks in many different colors. You don't really see how much these items have an impact on your outfit until you take it off.  Now, this next one could also be part of transitional pieces, but I didn't want to make that segment so long that you guys got bored. But that's going to be technical layers or fabrics designed with warmth in mind. Is that bars? I think that's bars. For me, that's going to be Uniclo heat tech. This technology really does keep you hella warm. I wore this underneath an anorak the other day when it was 57 degrees and that's going to be 13.9 degrees Celsius for you guys everywhere else. It was honestly pretty chilly, but heat tech came through, kept me warm. So I want you guys to think of it like this. This is how I go about my day. It's either going to be a thicker jacket with a tank top or it's going to be a thinner jacket with heat tech. It really depends on my mood and the temperature that day. So I got plenty of options and you guys can as well if you guys go down this route. And last but not least are earth tones. Enough said, you just got to get any colors that you see around the neighborhood. I just recently moved to Brooklyn and there's an insane color palette to take inspiration from. Here in Brooklyn, there's your standard earth tones like brown, olive, cream and all that. But there's also many other colors, more like nude, burgundy, like this beanie right here. There's plenty of those to take inspiration from. Just look around your neighborhood or we can look up earth tones online. There are plenty of colors. Earth tones are your round thing, especially for guys, but it's definitely the time to embrace the earth tone color palettes because of fall season, pumpkin spice lattes and autumn colors. I'm serious about this guys. This is going to be the last studio filming area that you're going to see. You guys saw me move from one place now back to my parents and then back to my friend's place in New York. And now I'm finally here. So I'll be here for a while and let me update you guys on my place real quick. Here's a really quick short tour of the place guys. Got my shelf right here in my bed with no sheets on it. I got my, there's my desk. There's some trash and other stuff. There's a living area with no couch yet. Closet, but here's the best part guys. This is two arms length deep. So it's about 10 feet wide and about three, four feet deep. Plenty of storage. Here's my shirts.  And in this drawer it holds my crew socks, my boxers and of course, Julie from the sponsor of today's video, Rolls Golden Black. So let me go ahead and thank them real quick. I will always recommend these bar necklaces for you guys. It's the perfect accessory to compliment any outfit, especially during the fall time because you're letting the cuts of the garments and the color palette speak for itself. And I personally believe that adding a minimal necklace like this is just a finishing touch. They've got plenty of colors that have their rolls golden black, obviously. Two very versatile colors, but you can also get gold and silver. When it comes to jewelry nowadays, I'm either all minimal or very loud. With Rolls Golden Black, almost everything is sleek and minimal. And I'm not a big beaded bracelet guy anymore. So if you're like me, just stick to their necklaces. I really like their minimal ones and their geometric ones as well or their crystal ones are kind of dope. But if you guys do like beaded bracelets, they have those options for you.
