What's going on today? Oh nothing. Just a boring old regular day in New York City, baby! I set up to make a video in front of this. I feel like I'm doing a my strange addiction interview. On this week's episode, I can't stop buying switch games. That's why we're here today. A couple years ago, I made a few videos in Japan searching for Nintendo switch games. I loved those videos. They were really fun to make. Since I moved here to PA, I'm only about a short hour train ride from New York City. Another very exciting place to go in general, but also to look for Nintendo Switch games. There are loads of video game stores in New York City, including Nintendo's own store, which is filled with exclusive things that you can only get there. So you guys liked the vlog videos of me in Japan. Why not do that in New York? Well first, we gotta get there. So we're catching a train from New Jersey to New York City. The plan was to vlog a lot of the trip up, but we were running a bit late. We almost missed the train. And then Kim and I had to sit in separate seats, so I barely got to film any of the gorgeous train ride. I did manage to get a shot of New York City from out the window as we were approaching it, but I didn't realize that it was completely overexposed and you can't see anything, but sunlight. Let's just cut to being there. So going to New York actually serves two purposes, because Bob and I have a podcast. Wood came to town to record our podcast, the Nintendo podcast. And while he was here, he wanted to do some game hunting, specifically Switch games, because that's like the thing that he does. But before that, Scoot rocked up. Wood, this is the first time I've seen you today. Here's a Pokemon card pack I bought. Whoa, awesome. I know. Where'd you get it? Right across the street. Across the street. Across the street. And there were more and there were only a dollar. A dollar for chilling rain packets. A dollar for chilling rain pockets across the street. Boy, how? Let's go. Whoa, New York is so cool. Hey, is that Spider-Man? Oh, I'm definitely still here in New York City. Oh, hey, sorry. These busy streets of New York can get really loud, but thankfully I have my noise isolating Raycons with me. The Raycon everyday earbuds look, feel, and sound better than ever. Good thing they started half the price of other premium wireless earbuds on the market. Also, good thing they're sponsoring this video. You want ramen?  There's a guy over here giving out free CDs with eight hours of playtime and a 32-hour battery life. It's no wonder that Raycons everyday earbuds have over 50,000 five-star reviews. Not to mention, Raycons will not fall out of your ears no matter what. Even if you're jumping or running after a taxi. I'm being serious when I say I love my Raycons. I do actually use them every day when I'm working out, going for a walk, or even cleaning around the house. They are compact and great for traveling. They have three customizable sound profiles. So whether you're listening to music or a podcast, Raycon has you covered with great audio quality. Would we found switch games? Yeah, I'll be there in a second. Don't buy anything without me. Look, I gotta be quick, but click the link in the description below or go to buyraycon.com forward slash beat them ups to get 15% off your purchase. I have people message me all the time thanking me for recommending Raycon. So join the game. You got a free CD? No, the CDs weren't free. I had to give him 10 bucks. Boy, how let's go. That's an insane price. So this weekend was already starting off with a bang. The plan was to go and buy Pokemon cards at this cool store later on the weekend. But why would we need to do that when there's $1 packs right across the street? We asked him how much the packs were. And sure enough, he said a dollar. So we asked, well, how much for what's left? He turns around and pulls out a whole brand new booster box.  I'd opened Chilling Rain before and this didn't look right.  Is it real? Yeah, no, that's 100% real. Let's open them. We were excited. We thought we snuck out of there, stolen written money right out of the man's hand. I just got a whole booster box for $40. They don't know what they're selling. How did they get it then? How did they get it then, Bob? Who are you? Why are you here? They were fake.  Eight-year-old me could tell the difference. Thirty-one-year-old me just spent $40 on our whole booster box of these. So, Scoot, remember when we were at the store and I was like, those are real, right? And you said yes. What did we just find out, buddy? They're the best f***ing packs. Tornade is V, full art. Tornade is V, art. Volcanion. Tornade is V. That was just two packs and there were four. Buddy, they're all fake. You dingus. I'd like to defend Jackson here because you bought them. He said they were real. I never opened my certification for Pokemon cards. He just like, no. You know what, I'm just gonna go rub boot myself out of here. This man. Look at me. I got one of the rarest cards in the deck. So cool. I am embarrassed. And I'm gonna go home. I'm actually, I'm real happy right now. Bye Jackson. That new hair cut looks real good on the way out. No. Thank you. I was actually scared it was a bad hair cut. Oh, you're welcome. I still blame Scoot. Really, I should also blame myself. Good old New York City. It's the place where dreams come true. Maybe. I don't know. There's a bunch of game stores here. So like near us, we only have game stops, but here in New York City, there's a bunch of Mama Pop stores as well as the Nintendo store is here. So I want to see what kind of weird and wacky Switch games I can find for this thing. We have a cast of characters coming with us today. Kim's behind the camera. Hi Kim. Hi. We also have Bob, E, Scoot, and maybe some other special guests, but we'll see. Hi. We're at my plastic hard because Kim really wanted to come here. Hey, stop it. You thought I was gonna do it. It's in Brooklyn and it's really cute. And I have all the blind boxes and stuff. It is a really cool storm. It mostly has blind box figures. You don't know what a blind box is. They're little mini figures, all different kinds. And you never know exactly what you're gonna get in your box, but that's the fun of it. It also had a half-naked Ronald McDonald with fries sticking out of his speedos that I guess we're supposed to represent. I think you look really good next to your Kirby. It's Ronald. I don't think so. I don't think so. Even an adorable little puppy that was running loose around the store and at one point escaped the store and then ended up running down the street. He's fine. They got him back. What did you get? I got one of the little guys with the inset eyes. I'm hoping that it's the ghost one that I want. I got a frog guy. Oh. Is this the Halloween one? No. He's got a hat. He's May. He's got a hat. He kind of looks like Scoot. He does. What did you get? I got one that I saw. I got it. Whoa. This is cool. I saw it from outside. I think I got it. Yes, that's really cool. We came here especially for Kim because she has wanted to go to my plastic cart the last couple of times. Now I know what you might be thinking. Wood and Bob are together in New York City and they haven't been drinking coffee yet. Don't worry. It's coffee time. Coffee time? Yes. Good. Coffee time. We had a couple of coffee shops in mind but we found Homecoming which was very close to where we were in Green Point and it was freaking awesome. While we were there I saw somebody order a dirty chai and I was and it gave me an idea later that night when I got home I made myself just a wine bottle full of dirty chai latte. So today we're hunting Nintendo Switch games in New York. We haven't gotten there yet. We haven't gotten there yet. We're about to get on a train from Brooklyn to go to the Nintendo New York store where we'll probably find stuff. Where did you go? Oh my god. Bob them ups. People are looking. It's a train now. It's an Uber but yeah I didn't want to correct you during your own vlog. And then Bob called an Uber and then tried to get in some random person's car and he was like no no no no I'm not an Uber. Why are you opening my door? Oh no no no. It like almost fit the description of the Uber. It really didn't like at all. I don't know what happened.  I don't want to talk about it. Now it's time to leave Brooklyn and head to the heart of New York. Literally because it is kind of in the middle of New York City but also just where my heart lies in New York the Nintendo store. I freaking love the Nintendo store. I've been at so many times over the last five or six years and every time I walk in I never know what to expect. They're always changing and mixing up the layout of the store adding in new merch and different games and plushies and it's always a new experience. Until they finally put in the Nintendo world at Universal Studios here in America this store is my Nintendo Disney. They of course had Nintendo Switch games. I feel like I have to have everything that's at the Nintendo store. I'm gonna try and find something I don't have. Hopefully something that's kind of cheap cheap. You're right. Okay okay no I definitely have that. I got that. Three games in one. I do. I have that. I have that as well. All right I wouldn't start just hand and meal the games guys. But why not? All right. Actually I don't have that. There's three in there. Yeah I actually don't have that. I'm surprised that's three here. Look this is weird for a couple of reasons. The main one is just that it's GTA. That's not kid friendly. I know Nintendo is all inclusive now right? Like they'll let anything come on the Switch but I didn't think they would advertise G-U-N-S at the store. Like these are pretty intense R rated games for Nintendo. But also just the fact that these ports were pretty much universally panned as terrible so they're not great versions of the games. The games are GTA and they're here right on Nintendo. Of course I had to buy that. I mean if it's at the Nintendo store it has to be a good game right? No. I wasn't sure if we would find anything here I didn't have because we're in the Nintendo store so I assumed it would just be all first party games. Also surprisingly there was just a bunch of stuff I hadn't seen before. Everything from third parties to indies. I mean what is Lost Worlds beyond the page? I had never seen this before. Initially it almost looked like a book learning game for children but I looked at the back and it's filled with positive reviews 5 out of 5, 10 out of 10s but I also found a game called Surviving the Aftermath. It's a post-apocalyptic survival game. It looks like maybe strategy. I thought the box art was interesting and figured I should grab something I didn't have. Scoot pointed out something interesting. They still had a couple of relic 3DS games in the store. This is what Nintendo chooses to remember the 3DS buy. Fire Emblem Warriors and Sushi Striker the way of the... Good choices. Good choices. Good choices. One game that played terribly on the base 3DS and one game that's maybe five dollars now on the eShop. Oh yeah. Yeah yeah yeah yeah. I love the unique items they have in the Nintendo store that you can really only get here. So many variations of Pokemon plushies. You had these twin Pikachu's in Raincoats. You had Pikachu dressed as Charizard. You had Pikachu dressed as just about anything you can dress Pikachu in. They have a little bit of everything.  They have Animal Crossing Builder Bears. There's one at the actual Builder Bear where you can put a thing in it and he's singing. That's nice. This one doesn't sing. They have a Scoot wearing a Magikarp hat apparently. You're buying now since you put your sweaty head all over it. Hat? Yes. And Bob's getting his platoon manga because it's Bob. Really cool. It's a really cool store. Really loud though. I'm begging of you. If you work there and you're watching this, sell me that giant link whenever you do close down. That is my life's goal. I want that guy in my bedroom. Next time I'll try being a little bit more of a shy guy. Another reason why I love the Nintendo store is it's not just a place to buy Nintendo stuff. It's also a Nintendo museum. If you've been here you already know about this and a lot of you probably already heard about it but this Game Boy survived the Gulf War. It's still turned on and playing key right now. It looks like my original Game Boy. That was a joke for me. That was my joke. They have every console that they've ever released in pristine position on display but on top of that they have every single amiibo that's ever been released even the Japanese exclusive one. You get out of my shot. You always level me up to fire Mario in my heart. Oh I thought you were going to shoot me with this. You were shaking like I don't want to do this. No. I love you. Oh okay. I love you but I like that. Like a friend. Like a good friend. That's it. Yeah okay. Sure. Cool. A giant projector LED LCD screen. I don't know what it is but every time I go they're playing a different game on it like Mario Kart or Mario Strikers. They actually host a lot of the E3 Directs at the Nintendo store and they'll put it on that giant screen. If you're a Nintendo fan you have to visit here at some point. Also the people that work there are super nice. The next stop on our list of places is JNL, a video game store in New York City that Bob loves that he wants to take us to. I bought an OLED switch. I figured I didn't have enough. What are you going to do with it? Put it in the f***ing oven and burn it and see how large the average degrees it takes. Jesus Christ. I'm going to melt this one in an oven and see how long it takes. It's the life of a YouTuber. Bob and Scoot kept telling us about this game store in New York called JNL Games. Apparently it was a huge store that had a ton of Nintendo Switch stuff and it's in walking distance from the Nintendo store but there's another really cool store on the way. You know Kunya. I like it. It's very unique. It's huge. There's three floors. The bottom floor is like stationary and Japanese magazines. The middle floor is Japanese books and then the top floor is all the weeb stuff. The manga, English and Japanese and it's got all the the the weeb toys and stuff. I'm pretty sure it's a chain. I think they have them in multiple cities but it's very unique. They also have a little cafe at the top that's really cute. I love going there and I almost never buy anything. Also I want to say it was awesome that we got recognized in this store. It really did make this just feel like somewhere that we belong. Everyone is so nice by the way. You make some new friends, Bobby? I did. Yeah. That's cute. Look at that smile. I didn't want to point and be like woods over there because like what if they don't you know. They might not know me. You see this? Oh that's cool. What is it? It's a bag. But yeah it is pretty cool. That is actually pretty cool. You getting it? Nope. Okay. You guys might not be able to hit any of this. We're going to a car store now. Well no, we're going to JNL. Look at JNL. That's Bryant Park. Thank you Bingo. What happened buddy? Oh no. Did you drop it? Yeah. Is it okay? It's fine. Buddy. We made it. Oh we are here. You getting a new bag in there buddy? I can't explain what it was like walking in a JNL and seeing thousands of Nintendo Switch games. He's here. I'm such a big fan. This is more Switch games than I've ever seen. This is actually more than my house and much more than Game Store. We're gonna find more than GTA here. This was the most amount of red cases I'd seen in any store ever. Thousands of Nintendo Switch games packed in like sardines in a can so tightly that you could barely even see any of the cover art. I was working with slithers. I can't really make out what anything is especially all these Japanese games where I can only see the spine. I got no way of knowing without having someone like rifle through a little bit. So I could literally just lucky it pick and see what I get but that's the best I can really do. I'm trying really hard to find anything that's like under 60 dollars that I don't already have. I'm starting to realize why they have so many games. They can't sell them. Go over a little bit. Your hands almost on it on the left. Keep going. Keep going. Yeah. I want to see what that is. It's like a cute little guy on it. Sorry that I'm going to mess everything up. Yeah this. I wanted to see what this was. I don't know. It's cute. Super cute. Game looks kind of bad but oh this is the story of seasons one that's just getting an English release now. Yeah. I wonder if it'll have a physical. They're holding the physical. I mean an English release physical because I like buying them otherwise. Like I don't want you to buy my games for me.  I was trying to add a mold in to get mine. Oh. One of mine is 100. Oh I understand. Just trying to. I got it. So we're looking at Japanese games. These are UK games. So they're going to be English but they might have something different. Your favorite game. Is that a switch controller? That's a steel. Yeah. Here. I mean we're just going to put that in the buy pile. Lucky you. I'm a little confused King. You just removed Xenoblade from the buy. Oh my hands slipped. Oh no. Thank you. Thank you. My little famous superstar. Okay. So I'm going to get Guns of Mercy which is a UK release. It just looks kind of cool. I'm not even going to Google the price. I don't want to know. Guns of Mercy is interesting. Apparently it's actually a pretty fun game but it turns out there's several different versions of the cover up. There's my version that has a blue, red and green variant and then even a completely different art variant for one. So from what I gather my red version is the UK release. This game Bob looked turns out the price is accurate. It actually does look kind of cute. It's actually $10 cheaper here. So I've been learning Japanese very slowly for like two years. I just googled what it said on the thing and that's how I found the game for wood. Other than the cute doggo and other characters on the box art what caught my eye was that it's a game published by Square Enix. Roughly translated it's Spelunker Party. Apparently it's not the greatest game but cute fun and considering it's apparently hard to find I think it's a great addition for the collection. One review I found online said it's deceptively hard and reminds them of Monster Hunter which is interesting and it also looks like there is English for this game if I'm willing to crack the seal on my new $100 Switch game.  No clue what that is but it's 18 plus kind of looks like Dark Souls. So turns out there is an English physical of hell waters that you can buy at GameStop for $20. I want to say that I do think my cover art looks a lot cooler though. The Japanese aesthetic to it all is definitely a plus. I ended up buying as we were walking out the store that Daemon X Mark and a limited edition on Amazon because it was 130. I didn't know it existed. What did you get? I got both Final Fantasy games that are on the Switch. I guess all three really.  Do you want to know the best part about these? What? I own them and they were $20 on the eShop. Yeah. That's my line. I spent $100 more for both of these. You're doing it the right way. I don't think I am. I made them a financial mistake.  Oh my god. I shouldn't have done that. I'm so happy today. I got a Tribute 64 and a little Mario Nintendo Switch stand but I got them on Amazon because they were way cheaper than here. I saw it there and bought it on Amazon for half the price. Both of those things. So JNL is just window shopping for me. They had some pretty rare and exclusive amiibos, a ton of accessories and controllers and even weird and wacky things that I had bought for weird Nintendo Switch accessory videos in the past and I didn't know anyone else knew they even existed. If you want to go and look at a store that has a ton of really cool switched up, this is the store. This guy and I can't say thank you enough was going down to these stacks and grabbing handfuls out at a time, letting me look through them, putting them back, grabbing out the next handful. I mean these cases went on for what felt like a mile. I must have gone through at least half of it. Now I know what you're thinking. We're in New York. Where's the pizza? We not only had pizza, we had the greatest pizza. No and I'm not talking the greatest pizza in New York. No. The world's greatest pizza is what it said on the wall in the store. I can't believe that we like barely spent any time in Manhattan and we just stumbled across the world's greatest pizza. So when you're in New York, you always have to get New York pizza and this is the best New York pizza in town, as rated by a guy on Yelp probably. I got a Sicilian and him got a pepperoni. It's like a chain one, right? It's like chain The real reason we're here is because Kim and I were peeing our pants and just needed a toilet. Coincidentally, this pizza also tastes like a bathroom. No, I actually like it. It's not bad. The one slice that shouldn't have flopped has flopped. It's a grandma. It should be crispy. Do you know anything? He's a tally about it. I don't have any idea.  It was fine. It was it was pizza. It was pizza. I mean, it was pizza. So sadly, we're not really because the day's been awesome.  But we're running out of time. Kim and I have to catch a train home at 6pm. We mostly went out of time because we got brunch this morning. It took him an hour and a half to bring us our food. So we were kind of backed up and delayed. So this is going to be the last stop. It's a card store where Scoot and I are looking for Magic the Gathering cards and Pokemon cards a little different to Switch games. We want to get into playing magic and Pokemon is Pokemon. The Pokemon card company have recently released a collaboration card set with Pokemon Go. And we wanted to get some. Oh, here they are. Pokemon cards. No, silly. They're bicycle. They have the rare bicycle sets. Oh my God. That's like a million yen. That's a Pokemon joke. I know Pokemon. These are real. These are real this time we checked. How embarrassed would you feel for us if you learned that we went to a bodega and bought a $40 booster pack of Pokemon cards and they were all fake? It's just like obviously. Yeah. Okay. Final stop of the day. There's these new limited edition Pokemon Go. Are they limited edition? They are. You could say that. Pokemon Go collaboration with Pokemon, which name another company that collaborates with themselves. Pokemon card trading card game releases. I have no idea what these look like. The Pokemon company themselves sent me a giant box of these. Really? Yeah. It was really cool. I haven't opened it yet. So why did you buy those? Because I didn't get this one. They had a different set they sent me. Also, because you could never have too many Pokemon cards, Bob. Unless they're fake from a bodega or from a street island.  I feel like we should just let that go. You know, move on. I will agree to let it go right here, right now. Okay. If you give me your Pokemon cards. No. But we shook hands on it. No, but like. And I guess I didn't let it go. Oh, he's a little slippery snake from down under. And then that was the end of the day. We took a short walk over to Penn Station and all went our separate ways. The boys catching their trains back towards Brooklyn. Kim and I catching our Amtrak on the way back to PA. Overall, it was fun. It was like a cute little date. It was like taking someone around the city. I didn't get a kiss at the end. So it was like kind of a huge waste for me. Well, this is where we all say goodbye. They had such a nice trip. Get in here, Phil. Get on in here. We had such a nice trip with their first names now. What? You never do that. Is that a scoop? Yeah, we always call you. Okay. We had such a fun trip. We're in the Moyahan train station. It's time to end the trip. We've got so much cool Nintendo Switch stuff. Oh, we love New York. Don't we, buddy? I got a magic carpet. We're not looking for the whole thing. I got a... What? We appreciate you for watching the video.  Links to everyone's channel and stuff down below. And we'll come back and do this again if you guys like it. Because there's always more Switch stuff to find. Isn't that right, guys? We're running out. We need more content. Yeah. Okay, bye. Next time, I'm going to get more coffee, better pizza, and more Switch games, and anime figures. And manga. I'm going to need a bigger bag.

October is fire prevention month and this year fire departments are encouraging residents to be safe and check the date on their smoke alarms. To make sure your home and your family are protected in the event of a fire, smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years from the date of manufacturing. The Brainerd Fire Chief tells us how simple it is to check your alarm. So you'll need to take the smoke alarm off where you have it mounted on the ceiling. Check the date on the back of the smoke alarm. It should have a date of manufacturing on the back there and if it's older than 10 years you'll want to replace that. If it's not, yeah, certainly make sure your batteries are good and put that back up on your ceiling. Now smoke alarms should be checked monthly and batteries should be replaced about every two years.

Okay, Thursday, folks, noon hour here, Ted Ralston in our ThinkTech studios downtown Honolulu, overlooking, it's like Kailua Bay at this point in time, or perhaps part of Waimanalo. Anyway, our show, where the drone leads, where we bring to our public the stories, information, latest developments in the evolving world of drones, what it means to Hawaii, what it means to our people and our education system and our business. And this has been a really interesting week. We've had a lot of activity down at the Capitol and have that in association, including a meeting yesterday of the, what's called the Aviation Caucus, which is a group of people involved in aviation, which now includes drones. We have with us today one of the spearheads behind that meeting. This is Ross Gerlick-Bell, Ross from the Aerospace States Association. And thanks for joining us on the show. Thanks for having me. Thanks for having me. I want to have you back. We're committed to making an annual track here. So you were part of the Aviation Caucus meeting yesterday in the Capitol dealing with the legislators that are tangentially or directly involved in aviation. And drones now fit into that picture. So Aerospace States Association is an interesting term that a lot of us aren't familiar with. And it would be really interesting to hear you talk about how Aerospace, or what Aerospace States Association does. Any question is how it relates to drones, and what that all means to us here in Hawaii. And I'd be glad to help you ask questions as we go through here. But talk about Aerospace States Association first, Ross, and see where that goes. Well, the Aerospace States Association is basically a political association for the elected officials. So you have, like, national conference of state legislatures. You have the American Legislative Exchange Council. Those are general legislative groups made up of the state governments or the state legislators. Aerospace States Association is specifically on aerospace issues for those elected officials. So our membership is the actual state governments, usually led by a lieutenant governor in each state. And then we work with state legislators, obviously, with the lieutenant governor and states where there's no lieutenant governor. The state legislators take the lead or the governor gets involved. And then we have our associate members, which are all the non-profits, corporations, those that are interested in aerospace in general. So it's a government-centric collection of people dealing with the emergence of any issues in the aerospace domain, including drones. Exactly. And especially now that you have so many areas that are being delegated to the states from this federal level, where the states have a bigger role, that's where the chapter systems have become involved over the past several years, where the state governments are trying to figure out issues like drone policy to look at other states, what they're doing on drone policy in regards to also how the FAA is working on it. The same goes for commercial space, where that's becoming more of a state-centric area with policies, but you have the FAA with the overarching airspace control. And of course, anything that goes through to get to space has to fly. And so the goal is the chapters will do with anything that comes off the ground, as I say, except for basketball players. So. Or pundit footballs, I think it should be. This is interesting. So you are providing an effective service to the state governments that provides information exchange from other jurisdictions and from the evolving issues in the federal government that might affect how any particular policy aspect of aerospace is emerging. Correct. So, for example, you may want to find out how is California dealing with drones? What way can Hawaii match up?  You can call us up and then what we do with the chapters is facilitate who might be the best contact in Hawaii to talk to. That goes for the state legislators in a great way, especially in states where we have turnover due to term limits and other things that there's not, they have a quick point person to go to, whether it's the University of Hawaii here or it's a drone manufacturer or it's the Association for Unmanned Systems, we're able to help get that and coordinate that right away. So it's a one-stop shop for the public officials that need to be able to make decisions on policy to find out if this is good or bad or if they should move forward. And then it's good for the industry to be able to have that conduit to the officials to be able to say, we have something that's going on, this is going to stifle creativity or this is actually something that's needed because we have problem systems that need to be corrected. There's conflicts going on in the airspace that we need to make sure is corrected. So that's what the facilitation of the information is for. Well, we can certainly use that here. We had, I think, in the last three years, probably 40 bills that has something to do with drones, either regulating registration or operations or whatever it might have been. I think none of them have actually survived the tests of the legislative process because they had some federal preemption issues or they had landowner issues or they had a registration requirement, which is already present in the FAA. They had something that made them not useful. So you provide a avenue of information that can straighten a lot of that out. So we write bills that are executable. In fact, they're kind of in parallel to what other people have done or other jurisdictions that have solved similar problems. Right. And that's where we've seen Virginia California, well not California, California had a lot of bills like Hawaii, a lot of different ones on privatization or privacy issues and other stuff and of course they had paparazzi issues in Hawaii and California that are quite different from other states. But Arizona went with a pre-state preemption over localities. Virginia did something similar on that in order to make sure that not only do you have the states having their rights, and the feds preempted, but that the states don't let, also you have multiple jurisdictions, this municipality is doing this, this one, this, and then you have the crossover and how do you deal with it. And so there we're providing the information to say, well, this is a model that seems to be working. It doesn't get you in trouble with the FAA and then it makes sure that you're not having cities doing their own thing and creating a patchwork that would stifle an industry that may be able to evolve within the state. There's also changes evolving in the FAA on almost a daily basis these days it seems. We have the one hour call up on certificate of authorization for public safety people now. We've got 107 and some variations that are coming forward. There's an educational interpretation that we operate under at the university that there's quite a range of things that are available today and more coming. So it's got to be really difficult for people who don't spend their 24 hours a day thinking about this to really understand what's going on. So do you have publications or a website or something that people can turn to to get information or submit questions to you or what's the process by which our legislature here interacts with you to get information? Usually it's through the chapter and then if we get a call from a legislator or an email we refer them to the proper association that has that detail study. So we have a memory of understanding say with the AUVSI, the Association of Unmanned Systems International, Vehicles International and so if there's something with drones with that we'll usually refer them to AUVSI because they'll have a study, they'll have a paper, they do the economic impact so they can show the growth potential in a state which industries are possibly the most targeted for that growth with drone usage so the legislators can have that information. We'll contact other groups depending on if it's a technical issue to contact a technical group or if it's an industry where they want to know what would it take to be able to start something up. That's where we may be able to refer them to a company that has an interest in starting up something in the state. That's pretty cool. So this is about the third time you mentioned chapter. So that sounds like we need a chapter of ASA. Do we have one? We are hopefully forming one after yesterday's caucus because the aerospace and aviation caucus is considered emerging. Hawaii seems a great possibility for having the chapter structure because you have so many different entities. Well the whole state relies a lot on anything that flies. So it'd be good to have a chapter that is dealing with all those different issues so that you're looking at drones for example is a great crossover between aerospace and aviation. There's always the conflict of where exactly do drones fit in that. And so having the chapter would allow all those different entities to be there at the table and then providing to that caucus the information they need as they look to legislation probably next year. This year's moving along already. So to get a chapter going what do we have to do? Well we have the chapter charter. We've already provided that to several of the members to start considering. We did have it before the previous lieutenant governor and we're waiting to see who obviously becomes the permanent lieutenant governor for a four-year term in November. And so we'll be asking that person also to get involved because we are made up of lieutenant governors as well. But I know that the caucus is considering starting that up as soon as possible so that we can get things moving, build up events, be able to highlight what's going on within the state of Hawaii as far as you know air shows, drone trainings, those kinds of things have a master calendar for the legislators to see all the stuff that's going on. And during the interim to be able to participate if they want to go out and see what's going on they can go to one spot find out where that is and not have to try to track it down through web searches or using the right term of unmanned system versus drone versus you know other names for different activities. This is super, I mean Hawaii absolutely needs this national level connection. We've had Admiral Phil Kennell, I don't know if you know Phil from NOAA out here recently talking to some of our legislators. We bring people in when we have them available, we take them out of the Capitol and have a meeting. But it's a small meeting, it's one-on-one and it doesn't have the power of a caucus behind it. So this is a really important part of our future structure here. So anything we can do at the University obviously we're one of the test ranges that the FA has nominated and we need to be aware of what is being developed and is transmitted through the the chapter. So is there a way that we can become part of that chapter as well? Definitely all the associate members are allowed to be part of any chapter they want, multiple chapters in some cases. So the big companies the Boeing's the Lockheeds and Northrop Grumman's all have operations here. They are part of all the chapters and so they bring their already in by virtue of their national. So once you join ASA you can be in as many chapters as you want. So if you're a growing company and you see that you're growing outside of Hawaii to California or another state that has a chapter Arizona or wherever then you can automatically just join and be part of that chapter so you can see what's going on. And then once a year we have our annual meeting where the chapters get together and compare best practices of what's working to get the messaging across what needs to be done for more activity. We're even looking now for the chapters participate in the National Aerospace Week up in Washington DC that is put on in September with the Aerospace Industries Association so that the chapters in that sense would be able to talk to the delegation from their state and be able to say this is what is going on in Hawaii and this is what we need to facilitate that development even more on the federal level. So whether it's working with FAA a little bit more or NOAA or NASA these are the programs that we we need the delegation to focus on because here we have all this information now to give you as far as work at help the state advance that way. That's really great because a lot of our a lot of our companies need secondary verification of information we're getting as well. For example our agricultural big agricultural businesses here we've got a lot of environmental issues we've got Pacific Command who has its needs and issues we've got our local law enforcement and police and fire and public safety in general so all of them need information and they probably need it from several different sources before they're satisfied they've got it right because it comes in such confusing packages so this is a superb service that you guys provide and we've got a resolution out there a joint resolution 143 that we hope to get past this year which actually requires the Department of Business Economic Development and Tourism and the University and an unnamed law enforcement agency to put together a workshop permanent task force that does kind of like what ASA does and acts as a channel to bring information in and actually take requirements that occur in the fringe and push them forward as well so it's a two-way street in terms of information exchange and looking forward big time to having this ASA up and running this is like a missing ingredient in our thought process here and in fact we're all struggling how do we reach into that pot and get information and you've provided that that functionality so that's what we're hoping it helps the goal isn't to have it where it competes with anything that's going on it's to assist at all the levels and we're finding it's been very successful in the other states and helping to bring attention to issues and and resolve some conflicts that may have been out there misunderstandings I should better say is worse it's probably it's just different understandings right probably not misunderstandings they probably the different approach but he thought was right exactly it's there's so many different shades and filters on this information it's it's such a it is frankly a very confusing situation the other interest we have is in developing the local business functionality not just the users like agriculture using it for agricultural optimization and theft production but but development of software development of cluster and swarm operations and communication relays in times of disaster when delivery of subjects ocean ocean safety and rescue we have so many cases of that here where the functionality so there's a development of the systems to do the work and there's the application of them and then companies that sit there and code software we don't have Boeing Everett facility here which is a very inspirational thing to see and gets kids going but we sure go to the software so that's and and drones are all about a lot of software yes especially the analyst the analysis that comes from their imagery collected so that's what we like to build up anything you can do to help us see that picture would be welcome as well well that and that's something that again we'd provide you with the groups that are doing that and say hey there's a beautiful state out here that's looking to get into that industry i know that we've helped on one thing that's good about drones is that you have the imagination factor that creates a whole bunch of different ideas that come and play especially in places where drones can have so many life-changing possibilities because of the remoteness and how they can be used and so i've worked with tribes in particular on drones where the kids are now starting to play with them and see what they can do because they can see that they can live where they want to live and fly them and especially as they get to where over the horizon it's going to be tested and stuff like that all of a sudden you're talking agriculture operations and as you pointed out all kinds of different little things that you would never dream of and the software is going to allow them to do because it's going to become more efficient you'll get the geofencing to be accurate so you can do the programming and left and right best i gotta tell you next time you're out here let me know in a week in advance we can set up a meeting with some folks in the university and other in these scholastic domains everybody'd be really interested in hearing you say that because that is such an inspirational frame of reference to put out there for the kids and then we also want to talk about the aviation side of this and AOPA and the relationship you guys have with AOPA and i think we have somebody in the studio here from AOPA which we'll come back to after a one minute break great watch my show on tuesday comfort zone i sing this song to you because i think you either are cool or have the potential to be seriously cool and i want you to come watch my show where i bring in experts who talk all about easy strategies to be healthier happier build better relationships and make your life a success so come sit with the cool kids at out of the comfort zone on tuesdays at one see you there how come he gets to go in he's a service dog well i could get a vest too you're not even a service dog he's trained to assist his owner well i can do whatever he can do wow did he just open the door yep oh i can't do that i can't do that either he's trained for over two years to become a service dog man i wish i could be a service dog i'm jay fidel think tech think tech loves energy i'm the host of minna marco and me which is minna marita former chair of the puc former legislator and uh energy dynamics a consulting organization in energy marco mangosdorf is the ceo of provision solar in hilo every two weeks we talk about energy everything about energy come around and watch us we're on at noon on monday's every two weeks on think tech aloha it is still the noon hour on thursday folks ted rosson here with ross garling bell from asa and we've been joined at the break by melissa mccaffrey of aop a america the aircraft owners and pilots association you are the pacific and western regional director thanks for coming on the show melissa thank you for having me and uh you're here for the aviation caucus meeting also which i thought was a really great meeting and i really appreciate the leadership you and aop a have put in we have had cathleen swain on the program earlier so we're digging into our aop a friendships here anyway we heard a really inspirational discussion from ross at the beginning here about well beyond what you normally expect in a in a in a politically oriented business evolution framework he's talking about enthusiasm inspiration and such to the kids aop a is picking that up too aop a has picked up drones which is absolutely incredible i am an aop a member okay thank you and actually i joined first in 1963 okay and i rejoined recently here so tell us about aop a and how it fits with the asa and and and and how you see the evolving issue of drones in our life so aop a is a not-for-profit member-based organization we represent uh pilots and aircraft owners nationwide over a thousand pilots and uh aircraft owners in hawaii over a thousand in hawai you're part of aop a yes how many of them are grown pilots do you think um that's a really good question probably not many yet yeah probably not many yet or maybe they don't really realize that we have two thousand all the grown guys right yes exactly so i think maybe we need to spread the word that we have a drone membership and represent drones drone pilots so but i think as far as us fitting in with the aerospace folks and ross i think there's a lot of overlap in what we do and so we you know ross and i have worked in other states to kind of bring together aerospace and aviation and so we thought well why not do it in hawaii that makes sense there's such an amazing history a rich history of aviation and aerospace and so it just makes sense to kind of meld them together um and we're hoping to kind of revamp and bring some energy into aviation and aerospace together and drones are a great way to do that yeah spoke very eloquently on that and we all realize that drones are something really interesting to the kids in fact we're doing something on boot friday here at university we're calling it drone boot camp one of our directors uh dwight takana was putting that together and inviting everybody in and we'll have some kids will bring their own as such and we'll start going through the process of uh thinking about safety thinking about faa compliance and then let's go have some fun well so but i get once again uh when i was a kid and joined aop i would have called it kind of a stodgy old organization of old system 172 pilots and and now it's turned into something is embracing drones i just can't believe that it is so cool to see that happening it's really cool and i mean i think with aviation and aerospace um you know trying to get youth just involved and interested in aviation and aerospace that's our future you know and if we don't do that then where will we all be when we move on and uh so i think it's really critical but i think it's critical and so we have like the stem and of course we hear a stem stem and all these different different you know terms abing arts and then i've also heard a stem for aviation so that's something that we kind of have talked about a little bit but but it's all the same idea well how does aop a work and we talked about chapters for asa and we have to get one going here in hawaii essentially we do that aop a is that run by state chapters also so it's interesting because um we have several offices so we have folks working out of dc and frederick maryland um and in wichita kansas um and then also we have seven regional managers that represent um the members in the state level so it's an interesting flow of information um and then what's really very works really well as we have um our airport support network and so at pretty much we try for every airport in hawaii every airport has um a volunteer and so we see them as kind of our boots on the ground they're plugged in locally and so they kind of feed the information to me in the region and then i pass it along to the folks in you know either dc or so how will you handle the emerging drone business which basically stays away from airports i mean aop a airport centric in that regard but drones are airport a centric so we we need some way to figure out how to plug the emerging droneism here in hawaii into you well i think that it is the future and you know we're trying to promote safe integration um and i think that's really key because i mean you can go to cosco and get thrown i mean you know they're everywhere so i think we have to promote people being safe and responsible users of drones and that comes through education definitely first and foremost and i think it's just really critical to make sure that people are educated about airspace and about rules at the airport and what to do and not to do and also with fa's guidance you know i think people don't even know what fa is some of the folks that are buying drones probably right so yeah we have a lot of work to do with education i think in in regard to the education uh that we can draw upon to help our legislators create good law and such we have the policy and doctrine coming through asa we can pick up education and national trends in usage and national trends in uh stem or something like that through aopa right it brings two channels in together and have a really rich picture yeah presented for our our legislature yeah that would be really smart and we're very lucky that hawaii has some extremely supportive legislators for aviation and airspace we have our caucus our aviation caucus and we've talked about merging that with aerospace and so we have some really key legislators that are very supportive of aviation so we're very thankful for that that's great and so once again my role at the university uh running the unmanned aerial systems test range and the functions we have there we need to tap into both streams and assist in getting that information over to our uh legislature as a question came up yesterday in the caucus meeting uh i think one of the two of you proposed to uh the chair of the caucus that we need to figure out who all the legislators who have some tangential or direct relationship to aviation are and it wasn't a list right in fact senator agaheli said hey won't you make that list let me see it because i'd like to know who they are too yeah so we have a long way to go in terms of getting it all hooked up and connected yes and uh let's see one of the one of the beauties on that that a lot of people forget is every single legislator has some direct tangent to aerospace or aviation directly and they just don't realize it most of the time yeah it's true just the schools that are in their district yes part of that flow the students that go to the university life of their district that are studying aviation or aerospace stuff and then the the farmer that's using satellite technology yeah they don't a lot of them don't recognize where that's coming from and how that's important to their survival of the economy in their district is there some simple artifact or expression of what you do and what you do is that can we can flow to the legislature on a periodic basis i mean some getting them to read something that's more than a half a page in their busy time is yeah we do a monthly update or something like that right now i know that we provide the state legislature every day a daily briefing to their email on aerospace aviation that goes out i don't know if you guys have the same kind of daily briefing email yeah we we have a like a newsletter that goes out in the region and then we have what we call our e-pilot which is a digital newsletter so yeah and it's it's wonderful we have excellent writers and so they do a great job of trying to get our messaging out i wonder if we could take that somehow and sort of express it look in local police right and uh it how it applies to us here yeah and make it available in a distilled form uh maybe once a week or something like that would be yeah we'll talk about that by email when we're when we're back to back to our normal jobs this is exciting the fact that we've had this level of connection we also have level of connection as i mentioned with phil kennel who's at astm and rtca jim williams who is uh we all know jim williams i'm sure xfa and so we're i think we're finally getting to the point where we have a maybe a adequate body mass here of functionality that that has fingers and everything and can help us move forward in a positive way and we really like to do that here in Hawaii and uh i gotta tell you i thank you so much for your inspiration and for the support you guys give to the operational level yeah and thanks for coming on our show it's a short one next time you're here we'll do it again but melissa mccaffrey and uh ross gerlich uh there's another piece in the girl bell bell easy part the bell right thanks so much for coming on thanks for coming out and talking to the legislature and being part of the evasion caucus and yet again inspiring us in cool new directions thanks a lot thank you see you next week


The reason is grateful to Zodway Waybantu for uplifting him with her words. Zodway Waybantu said to Reason, I'm happy to see you doing you. Known to drop the most unorthodox pieces of advice, socialite Zodway Waybantu left a big impression on rapper Reason recently when she uplifted him with her words, telling him she's proud of him for being authentic in an industry filled with pretenders. Reason recently took to Instagram to open up about a life-changing encounter with Zodway at a recent party. Reason explained that Zodway's advice came on the back of him having being told by a few people in his circle that his moves are being observed and that he ought to be careful of how he moves. But anyway I bump into Zodway Waybantu at DB and Gogo's party. You know, she arrives, she chilled. I did some snaps, made fun of her, she made fun of me and we laughed. And then we partied and somewhere along the line Zodway turns to me and she's like you know I'm really happy for you.  The one day you've got blonde hair, the next day you've got pink hair now you are here with the M.A. Viano Brov's next thing you are with Tira.  I'm happy to see you doing you. She goes on to say she's always known me this serious person, this careful guy, and now I'm just doing me. And she said you should be grateful because people out there aren't doing them. Reason recalled the moment. Reason said Zodway's words resonated with him because he realized that he's truly happy and he was glad that Zodway saw it.  It hit home because she is right. Whoever it was that was talking about me was actually talking about me doing me. And there's nothing that I can do about that. I have a lot of low moments. Definitely, I'm a human being. I have a lot of bad situations that get myself into that. I have to get myself out of and so does every human. But, I'm doing me and she was right. I'm happy doing me.


mo come back to another counterside video and today we will be discussing the review for LiYu Mi and also discuss her build but before that if you want an updated counterside videos please hit the subscribe button down below okay so for LiYu Mi she is actually an SSR her her banner is actually up right now i would highly suggest that you guys pull for her and see what i mean in the next few minutes also she also has a three deployment cost which is actually very good for a defender very cost efficient and more or less um you know very versatile in terms if you want to spam her she is again a defender ground type and ground attack she isn't able to attack units in the air and her profile she is actually a defender of SWAT 4 so for her stats we will start with her combat power which is 10,362 hp which is 48,783 which is actually considered above average for all the units in counterside attack is 3827 which is below average but again it is second among defenders and oh she is second among defenders for attack in in counterside and also for her defense she has 688 which is below average again crit hit which is 299 and hit which is 235 which both are low and her evasion which is 1004 is actually the highest and the highest is actually high or and also the highest among defenders okay so that is why she is actually very good uh very good stat for hp and very good stat for evasion so for her skills here so for her basic skills so it's a basic attack it's uh swings a sword materialized out of her watch and inflicts aoe damage that is good because it's aoe um levels two to five are just a plus five percent in her basic attack and also for her passive skills so it's called out of the way confidently charges without thinking twice increases evasion by 50 percent for 20 seconds when deployed this is actually where she is good because once you deploy her um whatever stat that she has for evasion like for example we saw there in in her stat her max would be let's say if she doesn't have any boost it's 1004 so another another 50 percent of that one she is deployed for 20 seconds so again she would have enough time to charge any opponent on the other side and reaching them especially if they are rangers or if they are if they are snipers she would definitely have enough time to to dodge and to evade their attacks because this runs for 30 seconds and also for this passive levels one to five so levels one to four would be damage taken is going to be a cumulative of eight percent so two two and four so they're all minus four two and minus two and for level five passive buffs also decreases damage taken by 15 percent again she's very tanky damage reduction evasion and high hp let's move on to her special skill so spinning edge it's actually a it's also it's it has a 16 second cooldown valid hits at two spins and moves forward uh moves toward the target inflicting aoe damage enemies lose 30 percent of hit which is actually very good um and focuses their attacks on her for five seconds so more or less she taunts the enemies forcing them to attack her and also losing their hit and decreasing their hit so cooldown is going to be a max from level two to four a four seconds which the six uh 16 seconds would be turned to to 12 seconds and level five debuff also decreases enemies attack by 10 percent so a lot of buffs and debuffs for her that is why i have had a hard time killing her in pvp and let's go to her ultimate skill which is dual blade so you have here uh 52 seconds cooldown so valid hits again too divides her sword into two and swings them with incredible speed inflicting aoe damage on surrounding targets increases evasion by 50 percent for 15 seconds after the skills effect so again another um damage dealing uh ultimate with aoe damage and also increases again evasion by 50 for 15 seconds after this this skills effect and for levels two to four there's an increase of damage uh of total of plus 25 but for her level five buff also increases damage taken by 10 percent okay so my overall thoughts on her skills she is actually she actually has a lot of buffs on herself and debuffs on the enemies that is why she is very hard to kill mostly towards evasion and and decreasing damage so that's it she actually has above average hp which is actually hard to kill so again that is why if you notice you cannot you know it's really hard for you to take her down one-on-one especially if you don't have you know if if you don't have that much damage to deal to her or if you can hit her in any way so more or less again guys very very solid solid solid hero or character let's move on to her gear for my lyubi i'm sorry i don't have her yet at six star but um more or less i decided to go with evasion set for your attack and for your this is going to be your armor so i'm going with evasion set because i wanted to increase her evasion um actually at level 82 her evasion is already at 1029 so it's already a bump of plus 207 but again if i increase her level and six star her this would increase the most um also for her gear if you could actually increase her hp but again her hp is actually good already at at above average okay so for her uh what do you for your for her accessory more or less i would go with either anti ranger because actually she is actually um very vulnerable to rangers and also i would probably give her additional evasion if i can so for evasion or another set for hp so that i would bump up again her hp more or less you have the two skills that you can bump up i would i suggest with gear is hp and evasion that is it for her gear and let us see her her her skills in action okay so for for lyubi more or less she again she has her has her increased evasion by 50 during deployment so again she would be very good to deploy as early as possible because she would be your lead defender probably another backup for either a striker or another defender then the rest are back units again for her for her what do you call this for her skill uh let us see her ultimate so dual blade very nice animation very clean and that spinning skill actually forgot the name it actually is good in terms of animation okay so my final thoughts for lyubi um again i was i was actually very fortunate to get her on the second poll so i only spent around 20 recruitment uh employment contracts i was very fortunate not to not to pity the banner but again if you guys have the recruitment contracts left please do someone for her her banner is actually up to let's let's take a look at the banners that we have so here it is so she has actually 10 days left on this banner and i would suggest you guys pull for her she is a very good defender um met very meta in pvp and actually would be would be good as well in your pve contents but she will shine most in pvp right now she is actually a headache to deal with because i haven't had mine leveled up that much and geared as well but again um you will never regret getting her she's a very she's a very good tank very good innovation very good in hp and also very good in debuffs for the enemy and buffs for herself so guys more or less thank you for staying to the end of this video also please consider subscribing and also don't forget to check out that bell icon and leave a like in this video anyway guys for comments please put them down in the comment section below and also stay safe take care this is the warden and i'm out here


But we also might say, hey, look, if you will just issue a credit, which means now I'm going to have a credit outstanding that I can tie out to a future invoice in the future. So I could do that with a credit memo, even though a credit memo usually decrease in the accounts receivable, but this time it's going to leave us with a credit or I can use a delayed credit, which means it's not going to record the transaction until we actually apply the credit. Now I think most of the time, the credit memo would be the way to go because you would expect that they would take advantage of the credit memo and you should probably record it at that time.


Oh, I can't believe this happened. What's up guys? We're back with another video.  This is some of the biggest news I've seen since I've been in Yu-Gi-Oh. You might have seen the title know what this video is about you I'm thinking is this that big of a deal? I think it is. I think this is a really big deal There's a picture going around the internet that shows that Walmart is no longer selling Yu-Gi-Oh cards Due to like danger to their employees and basically it's just too much of a hassle for it to be worth them selling cards So I don't know for a fact that this is like every Walmart in the United States or wherever But it's a little bit scary and we're gonna talk about why in this video So first we have to go back to the past year trading cards have gotten super popular not just Yu-Gi-Oh We've got sports. We got Pokemon absolutely massive in terms of value like resell value like sports cards are selling for crazy amounts Pokemon of record prices Yu-Gi-Oh has gone up as well people realize that even the newest sets when a new set comes out a great set like Hidden fates or shiny fates or ghosts from the past or the newest optic or prism set Basketball football, whatever people know that when they stock them at Walmart or Target The retail price is not gonna come close to the resale price So they can buy something for 10 bucks at Target's Paul you were 30 or 40 bucks online So once people realize that there's literally free money on the shelves They go out there and they make sure they get as much of it as possible So when the card stocker comes to Walmart, they put in you know 10 boxes of whatever the newest set is that one person has been waiting there for an hour buys all of it So there's been a lot of negativity toward these sort of people.  I understand why they do it So basically there were so many people doing this that Target, I think it was Target first. Maybe Walmart did it as well They made a rule it was like you can only buy one two or like three maybe three of like any trading card And what sucked about that is sports and Pokemon were the biggest about this If you were a Yu-Gi-Oh fan, you could only buy three packs of Yu-Gi-Oh But you don't care about Pokemon and sports that everybody else is there to buy So it kind of screwed over in like magic like I think a lot of magic stuff still sitting on the shelves So you couldn't even buy that stuff anymore because the other two were so popular. They did this and it didn't really help I heard that people went in line There was like 30 40 people waiting and you'd wait and you eventually get to you you'd be like number 30 You wouldn't get anything. So it was like they implemented that policy didn't really help anybody then Apparently even more problems happened because this sign popped up and now Walmart doesn't even want to sell them in general What does this mean? Let's talk about it in my opinion. This is very very bad. This is bad for Yu-Gi-Oh I'm not necessarily talking about the other TCG's, but Yu-Gi-Oh in particular for Yu-Gi-Oh in particular It's just bad because tons of people they get their packs So, you know, they go to work they had a long day like, you know, I'm gonna go to Walmart pick up some milk Whatever and they go by the card section. They grab them some cards. They open them up They have fun, you know pull something good. Maybe they sell it online. Maybe they keep it for their deck Maybe they went to their locals and their locals is out. Maybe they don't have a locals That's the main thing. There are tons of cities and towns in the United States and other places that don't have locals So if you don't have locals that stocks cards and targets not selling anymore Walmart's not selling anymore Nobody's selling anymore. There's no more cards for you unless you order them.   You don't even have the option to go somewhere else and pick something up and now let's think about newer players So let's say you've been out of Yu-Gi-Oh for a long time. Let's take me for an example 2018 I was playing dueling. So I was getting back in Yu-Gi-Oh. I was like, well, this is fun I want to buy some cards guess where I went Walmart I went to Walmart. I picked up some cards. I opened them up. I duelist pack copy You guys have heard I pulled the ultimate rare chaos and murder dragon I was back like that because of those packs if that didn't happen I probably wasn't gonna go online and order packs. You know, I wasn't gonna be like Let's do some research figure out what packs I want. Some people might but I wasn't gonna do that The Walmart trips what got me back into it. I bought from Walmart for like a year straight just buying packs I wasn't doing anything else. I wasn't making videos. I wasn't dueling. I was buying at Walmart I was buying a target because there was no local store in my area I had to drive an hour to the closest local store, which I did eventually So that's just a huge issue the new players There's not gonna be anyone getting back into Yu-Gi-Oh from those easy to get packs and there's probably tons of people that do that Let me know in the comments right now if you came back based on buying packs from Walmart or Target or a retail store around you I'd be interested to see how many of you guys it is because if it's a lot and they quit selling them That's scary. That's really scary for Yu-Gi-Oh as a community and as a collectible if the current game starts dying The collectability starts dying and that's scary as well if you guys have spent you up very expensive cards They might become cheap again Just that convenience you have from the retail stores that extra option besides your local store or your only option if you're you know In the middle of nowhere or you just somewhere that they just don't have a local store I really hope that this isn't a nationwide thing and if it is I really hope they reconsider and Hopefully guys if you guys are doing crazy stuff like harassing employees or stuff. Please just don't do it I mean give give us a chance. Don't don't mess it up for everyone. I know it's probably not you guys Not Yu-Gi-Oh people doing it. You know, it's probably the sports people. We're gonna play in Pokemon It's definitely them definitely them not us. We're great. We're perfect. No, I'm just kidding But I am not kidding about like be respectful to everyone when you guys are going to those Walmart's and just everywhere Anywhere you go be respectful of course because it's just get along with people better. Everyone's has a happier time all that stuff I don't need to explain to you why that's better But I really wanted to talk about this topic because it actually worried me like I saw it and I was like Oh, no, that's not good and I was bummed because even though I can't normally get stuff in my local stores I was still bummed. I was like, there's not even potential anymore. You know, sometimes I'll go in there And I'm like, let's see if they got anything, you know, I did see some maximum gold the other day I wouldn't be able to see that anymore. You know, there's nothing so it may not seem like the worst thing ever But I'm pretty worried that it could become something bad for Yu-Gi-Oh in general and it's already sort of a niche You know a niche thing for people playing Yu-Gi-Oh collecting Yu-Gi-Oh all that stuff to become more popular recently It's worrisome. It's definitely worrisome. So I hope you guys enjoyed this video just a quick discussion video We're gonna be doing some crazy opening soon and this weekend We're gonna be opening the newest set a case on Saturday. I think it's Saturday. Maybe Sunday Oh, you guys will know you guys will know by tomorrow, which is Friday I'll tell you then you guys will know so yeah, then you'll know but yeah, we're gonna open a case live stream YouTube It's gonna be awesome.

I've not announced We have the big announcement which still isn't here the mail is taking forever So once it gets here in the mail you guys will know but right now it is still pending Pray that it doesn't get lost, please. I've already had a package lost recently. You guys saw us on the Yu-Gi-Oh's video So that's it for this video.  I don't know


With Congress, there is a duty to pass laws and impeach officers as needed. With the President, there is a duty to execute the laws, to keep Congress informed of their need for activities, and to represent the United States to foreign powers. We do not have such a duty set upon the judiciary. It does not have a product or result to generate that marks the successor failure of the Supreme Court's performance. Here is no specific outcome assigned to the Supreme Court that is to be gained through the assigned activities. Its actions define its performance. The Supreme Court is to operate in a manner that will best assure the purposes of government, those written into the preamble. The Congress is to legislate, and its directives apply to all the people in the nation. The President is to execute, and presidential action applies to all the people in the nation. The Supreme Court is not given broad powers, but is to handle specific applications to individuals and smaller groups of people. Again, what the Court is to do is not responsive to the concept of checks and balances or separation of powers. The purpose is fulfilled by coordinated efforts. It is each of the branches of government supporting and working with the other branches to fulfill the people's purpose in establishing their government. The first section of this article creates and empowers a Supreme Court, giving it unique purposes, unique functions, and unique authorities to act. This branch of government will have the same overriding purpose as the other branches, getting its purpose from the larger constituting agreement signed on behalf of we the people. The judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. This is different than the courts in the English system. The English courts were to serve the common people for the welfare of the aristocracy. Those courts were to apply the King's law, as it was created through legislation, through royal edicts, and like applications of sovereign law. This was interrupted in the American colonies through revolution and the aristocratic purpose denied. The new concept of a sovereign people also brought in a new challenge in terms of people being the source of judicial authority, instead of being simple subjects. Even more than before, the revolution, the courts would have to act with the consent of the government. As the purpose of the English courts and the common law had both been benevolent to the common person, this was no challenge so long as the courts continued to apply the common law to the common citizen of the new United States. A deeper challenge was encountered when addressing the citizen's relationship to government and the authorization of government to take actions that affected citizens as individuals. This was new ground, uncertain, unprecedented. The newly formed government faced the same problems as it plagued early democratic governments. It was the lack of knowledge, the only the common person, but in the common person's representatives and judges unfamiliar with the concept of citizen sovereignty. It was in the behavior of leaders following the prior pattern of sovereign government. There was also the limited function of the Supreme Court, with the remainder of judicial function given to the federal courts that answered directly to Congress instead of to the Supreme Court. Inferior courts were to be the people's courts. The courts also suffered from the common misreading of the constituting agreement. An act as if that agreement was a source of sovereignty over the people in the United States. As a working summary, the courts addressed the new constitution as a substitute for the king. In specific, the Supreme Court did not accept the purposes stated in the preamble to be a limit upon what government could legitimately do. This court, whether simply misreading the document or actively rejecting what it said, continued to ignore the sovereignty of the U.S. citizen. As will be noted with amendments, the courts have honored the process of government above any citizen delegation purpose, where the Congress has passed laws in accord with the approved process. The courts honored that law, where the President acted within the general authority of office. The Supreme Court has honored that use of presidential authority. In that sense, the Supreme Court has systematically and consistently refused to protect and defend the Constitution. For creation of other inferior courts by legislation, we have the curious repetition of the words used in the preamble for creating the United States. It provides for Congress to ordain and establish inferior courts in its representative capacity. These inferior courts are to answer to the people's representatives rather than to superior judicial authorities. They are only authorized and empowered by effective legislation that marked a clean break with the traditions of the courts that were applied to the law of England. Section 2 addressed the distribution of management of authorities in the federal court system. As in other provisions, it too must be read in general accord with the preamble and limits of delegation by authority of citizens. The judicial power shall extend to all cases in law and equity arising under this Constitution. The laws of the United States and treaties made or which shall be made under their authority, to all cases affecting ambassadors, to other ministers or councils, to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction. To controversies which the United States shall be a party. To controversies between two or more states, between a state and a citizen of another state, between a citizens of different states, between citizens of the same state claiming lands or grants under different states, and between a state and or citizen thereof and foreign states, citizens or subjects. The meaning of this provision stated as a list of cases being covered is in accord with a few special legal concepts. The most important is jurisdiction. Jurisdiction is a term in recognition that the courts have no natural power over any person. They gain authority to deal with citizens only through taking jurisdiction. This is official notice that some legal cause comes within the defined area of authority of a court. When a court takes jurisdiction over a case, it also assumes jurisdiction over those who prosecute and defend the case, and over ancillary matters. When the jurisdiction relies upon law, it only comes from application of law to specific legal persons. Laws cannot give jurisdiction to a court. The great challenge arises where Congress passes a law that is beyond its constitutional authority. Does the application have to a legal person provide a basis for assuming jurisdiction, or just per refusal of jurisdiction? The Supreme Court has chosen to assume jurisdiction and use the individual cause to judge the congressional actions. Legislative process then defines legality. The court attempts to find legality through interpretation. The result has been called legislating from the bench. That direction of misbehaving involves effectively rewriting the law from the judicial decision that is specifically forbidden to the court by having all legislative powers inherent in Congress. The special listing of cases must be seen as intentionally limiting the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. As a counter note, this provision is not any limit upon Congress or upon the courts that Congress establishes. I also note that this is a closed list. There is no catch-all language that would allow the Supreme Court to assume jurisdiction of other matters or other cases. No federal law can give this court jurisdiction. There must be a case of challenge before the involvement is authorized. What this means is that decisions on subjects like regulation of education for social purposes are not within the authority of the court. It is legal error where even attempts to make such jurisdiction. It has no authority in addressing matters of citizen voting unless it addresses a federal voting law. It is likewise of no authority in environmental regulation or authority to address most of the matters in which the modern Supreme Court has taken an interest, except as is saying maybe challenge and legislative matters. It has no authority over matters where bureaucracy has created rules for its application as in the banking management except where these have become part of legislation. It has no authority beyond denying government authority to perform regulation except where the same is written into the law. In all cases affecting ambassadors, public ministers and councils and those in which the state shall be a party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction. In all other cases before mentioned the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction both as to law and as to fact with the exception and under such regulation as the Congress may make. To make jurisdiction over a matter even clearer we have an immediate reference to the list above as where the court has jurisdiction. This is followed by another provision which raises a bit of confusion when addressed with an article 3. The confusion is not within the provisions but with the apparent reference to citizen rights to trial and the congressional authority to act. Neither of these address the Supreme Court as it lacks jurisdiction. The trial of all crimes except cases of impeachment shall be by jury. The Supreme Court apparently lacks authority to determine issues of fact when it sits as a body of original jurisdiction on criminal actions. Any citizen party is entitled to have a jury of peers determine the facts. What does make sense is the continuation of the congressional authority to empower inferior courts. These courts may address trial of all crimes except impeachment. Naming these to be inferior courts instead of subordinate courts is indicative. They are not subordinate to the Supreme Court and may assume jurisdiction over matters not open to the Supreme Court. Needless to say the writing of the Constitution has been ignored where it did not support the royal rule of the new government over the nation. The Supreme Court has assumed all matters of interest to the United States and of course this court sets itself as a higher authority on all matters that come before it or before any of the subordinate courts. That is after all the traditional purpose of a king's court. It is to enforce all royal edicts if the peasants don't like it that is their problem. Section 3 addresses the special crime of treason which is by definition an offense against the United States. It defines this crime through limitation. It keeps even Congress from redefining it for political or social reasons. It sets minimum requirements for proof of fact in cases of trial for this crime. Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. Both persons shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act or on confession at open court. The reason for singling out this one crime for special treatment is a matter of history and vision. The royal government had been traditionally addressed any act and a disparagement of royal rule or even inconsistent with it to be treason. The king could redefine treason to be whatever greatly offended his rule. It had been abuse that was enforced by the king's court giving official status to the king's statement of official offense. This provision provided a limitation on the courts to prevent central government abuses that had been allowed under the English law. The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainer of treason shall work corruption of blood or forfeiture except during the life of the person attaining. This limits sentencing even for those convicted. It is in accord with the challenges to bills of attainer which were used to seize property from families of convicted criminals to the detriment of those in the family who were innocent of wrong. In summation, this article establishes a Supreme Court, not a federal court system. That is the privilege of Congress and Congress is set into authority over it. The jurisdiction of the Supreme Court does not include interpreting the Constitution nor does it allow the Supreme Court to act as a jury in determining matters of fact in cases that it hears where it has original jurisdiction only where it is hearing appeals. This court has not properly served the United States.
