Hello. Good afternoon, everyone. I do have quite a few items at the top, so you'll just bear with me, and then I'd be happy to jump in and start taking your questions. So earlier this week, as you may have seen, Secretary Austin gave opening remarks yesterday at the Ukraine Defense Industrial-Based Conference held here in Washington, D.C. The conference connected relevant U.S. and Ukrainian industry and government representatives to discuss initiatives to enhance Ukraine's defense industrial base and build on momentum generated by a successful event Ukraine hosted in Kyiv in September 2023, all of which signals strong U.S. support for enhanced industry partnership. As part of the conference, Dr. Bill Laplante, Undersecretary for Acquisition and Sustainment, convened the eighth meeting of the National Armament Directors under the auspices of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group today. The meeting is being held here at the Pentagon. The first time the forum has convened here in the United States. This meeting brings together more than 40 nations, NATO, and the European Union to engage on industrial-based and sustainment challenges in support of Ukraine, both for their immediate requirements while also supporting Ukraine's long-term defense and national security needs. Later in that, in the day, Secretary Austin hosted Ukrainian Minister of Defense Umarov for a bilateral meeting. Secretary Austin highlighted the department's ongoing activities to meet Ukraine's urgent requirements, including the announcement of the 50-second tranche of security assistance from DOD inventories for Ukraine. The package included additional air defense capabilities, artillery ammunition, anti-tank weapons, and other equipment to help Ukraine counter Russia's ongoing war of aggression. This package utilized assistance previously authorized for Ukraine during prior fiscal years under the Presidential Drawdown Authority, but it is critical, as you all know, that Congress passed the President's National Security Supplemental Request to ensure we can continue to support Ukraine. Security assistance for Ukraine is a smart investment in our national security because it helps prevent a larger war in Europe while strengthening our defense industrial base and creating skilled jobs back home here for the American people. And without additional funding, the department may soon reach a point where it can't sustain the current level of support to Ukraine. Also yesterday, the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps, in coordination with the department's V-22 Joint Program Office, announced an operational stand down for all Osprey variants in the wake of the November 29, CV-22 mishap off the coast of Japan. This action is being taken out of abundance of caution while the AFSOC investigation is conducted. As each service conducts operational safety reviews within their fleets, each will re-evaluate their respective grounding bulletins and then determine timelines for resuming flight operations in close coordination with the Joint Program Office. We'd also like to thank the government of Japan for all their assistance in the search and recovery efforts throughout this incident, and we will continue to work with them on sharing information and safety procedures during the investigation. Of course, our thoughts remain with the families of those airmen who are lost. Air Force Special Operations Command is investigating the CV-22 mishap and I'd refer you to them for any additional questions. Switching gears to Congress, earlier this week the Senate confirmed over 420 of our highly qualified general and flag officers. These holds have dragged on for months, degraded our military readiness, and forced far too many of our military families to put their lives on hold and endure even greater sacrifices. And while this was welcome use, we still have dozens of officers that still have had holds placed on them, some of whom are our four stars. We urge the Senate to confirm the remainder of our qualified military leaders as soon as possible so that we can have our team in place to meet this critical moment for our national security. And shifting gears again, next week Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks will visit locations in Silicon Valley, California. She will visit the Defense Innovation Unit where she will meet with DIU personnel who are accelerating the US military's adoption of commercial technology to strengthen national security and she will also receive an update on DIU projects through a series of capabilities demonstrations. She will also meet with a wide range of industry leaders to discuss the department's replicator initiative, discuss innovation across the department, and see demonstrations of AI-powered autonomous technologies. And just one more item. Earlier today, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin called his Royal Highness Prince Khalid bin Salaman, Saudi Minister of Defense to discuss Houthi threats to freedom of navigation in the Red Sea. We will have a readout coming shortly if you don't already have it in your inbox. With that, I'd be happy to open up to some questions. Tara, do you want to start us off? First on the Osprey, the Osprey makes up a sizable portion of the Marine Corps fleet, Air Fleet. How is Marine Corps an Air Force and Navy going to mitigate the loss of access to this aircraft while this investigation is going on? Well, because it's something that they are instituting in terms of the stand down, I'd really refer you to them to speak to how they are managing this stand down and how it's impacting or not their own operations. So I'd refer you to them to speak to that. That is a Secretary concerned about a loss of this many aircraft at once with so many things going on. The Secretary fully supports the services and they're out of the abundance of caution to stand these fleet, these aircraft down. This is something that we've done before. Whenever there is mishap that a service feels needs either more investigation or just out of an abundance of caution, there have been stand downs of fleets before of other platforms. And so the Secretary, of course, supports the services decision to do that. And again, I'd refer you to the services regarding their details on the positive operations. And then last, the Pentagon for more than a year has been trying to stand up a flight safety office where all of this data is supposed to go to be able to look across services, see trends. What's the status of that office and is it looking to this incident? I don't have a status update on the office but as I mentioned in the beginning we do have the joint program office for this platform that is coordinating with the services and other customers who use the Osprey. So that is something that is a connecting office that is coordinating across the services and to our allies and partners, but I don't have an update for you on that particular office at this time. It's supposed to be at a Deputy Secretary at a defense level to really elevate flight safety and when concerns are raised by maintainers or units elevate them to a point where you get a very high level of visibility, but it's been more than a year since the office was supposed to be up and running. Yeah. So again, I would say that Secretary takes safety and security as one of his top priorities. We are the services are out of an abundance of caution again putting a pause on this platform. I don't have an update for you on that particular office, but it's not to say that safety and security of our service members is not a concern. That's exactly why you're seeing the Navy the Marine Corps and the Air Force do what they're doing. But I would refer you to them to speak to more details on that. Yeah. Thanks. Laura. Yeah. Can you please give us an update on the attacks in the Rockins area? How many have we had? How many injuries have there been altogether and have there been any more incidents in the Red Sea since yesterday? So in terms of any other additional instances or attacks since yesterday, I'm not tracking anything that occurred in the Red Sea or at any of our bases. I believe as of today, there have been approximately 78 attacks on our bases, but I don't have anything that's happened within the last 24 hours. Does the department assess that there's been a slowdown in the attacks in the last couple of days a week or so? Well, I mean, and I feel like I was asked this question a few weeks ago when there was an uptick in attacks and yet we do have like a day or two that will go without any attack. So it's really hard to say. I would direct you to the forces, these hostile militant groups that continue to attack our coalition forces and our troops in Iraq and Syria on why they are doing what they're doing and when they decide to do it, but in the last 24 hours we haven't seen any attacks on our forces. Should that change, of course, we would let you know, but that's the difference that I have as of right now when I'm standing up here. Oh, I'm sorry. As of December, I would say December 4th, it's still about 66 of our folks who have received non-serious, non-life-threatening injuries all who have returned to work. I know you'll probably ask about TBI's but I just don't have an update for you on that at this time. Thank you. Do the United States invite the four Russians for world crimes? Is this just because they studied the world in Ukraine? Yeah, that's something that I saw the Department of Justice announce yesterday. I'd direct you to them for more information. Have you had any name over those people? I don't. Was Putin included in this? Again, I would direct you to the Department of Justice who launched, or who announced that yesterday. I don't have more information on those names. One more? Sure. The United States Space Force Command announced that possibility of destroying North Korea's military satellite. And when do you think that time will be coming? I'm sorry, I've not seen that report but I don't have anything for you on that. I'm going to go to the phones here. Idris, Reuters. There have been a number of reports in the past couple of hours about the killing of the Reuters journalist Assam Abdullah and injuring of other journalists in Lebanon in October. And one of the stories from Reuters says definitively that an Israeli tank was responsible for firing two shells that killed Assam. Does the DOD have an independent assessment of what happened that day? Secondly, have you talked to the Israelis about the killing? And thirdly, do you believe Israel killed journalists as a matter of policy? Thanks, Idris. So in terms of an independent assessment, I just don't have that for you at this time. I've seen the reports out there but that's not something that we've been able to assess independently here in the building. Again, I think you've seen with all of our readouts that the Secretary has had with Minister Galant with other senior leader engagements from across this administration. We continue to urge Israel to conduct its operations in a targeted manner as it is seeking out and addressing a brutal terrorist organization within Gaza. We continue to urge Israel to uphold the laws of armed conflict and humanitarian law and the protection of innocent civilians which includes members of the press and so that's something that has come up that we've talked about publicly. It has come up privately as well and I'll just leave it at that. Konstantin, Military Times. Thanks, Sabrina. I wanted to, going back to the Osprey, in August you said that the Department has confidence in the Osprey as a platform. Given everything that has come out this past week, is that still true? Is that still an accurate statement? Thanks, Konstantin, for the question and I think as you heard me say to Tara earlier again, we've seen this done before with other platforms out of an abundance of caution. The Air Force, the Marine Corps and the Navy are standing down their Osprey fleet. I would direct you to the services to speak to of when they're going to be back up in the air. But as you can understand, there will always be an inherent risk in military aviation and to mitigate that risk we will continue to maintain the high level of operational standardization for all of our pilots and for all of the crew. As you probably know, the Osprey is one of the premier assault aviation systems that we have. It is versatile, it's speed and it's vertical lift capabilities are not met by any other platform existing in fixed or rotary wing platforms so it's an incredibly useful platform for all of our services to use. Again out of an abundance of caution there has been a stand down and I would direct you to the services for when those will be back up in the air. Alright, I will take one more from the phone and then I'll come back in the room. Chris Gordon. Thanks Sabrina. Senator Warren expressed concern during Senate Armed Services Committee hearing yesterday about too many service members are receiving lasting injuries or losing their lives due to accidents. Does the Pentagon share that view and what can be done to make training safer broadly? Does the Department need to review training accidents in whatever form, aviation or other? Well thanks Chris for the question. Well as you can see, I mean the Air Force is doing an investigation right now into the mishap that happened off the coast of Japan and we're looking at safety security of our personnel whether it be in our Air Force our Army, our Navy, our Marine Corps we take that very seriously. That's something that the Secretary I know is a priority for him and so we are evaluating any time that there is a mishap and there is an investigation taking the lessons learned from that and applying it and making sure that safety protocols and procedures are followed and enhanced as needed. I'm going to come back in the room. Tom. Thanks Grina. Two questions. One on the Osprey. Does the servicers have the ability to do a stand-up independently or does they have to be serviced wide? They can do it independently. Thanks. And the second question unrelated to Osprey. The President of Guiana yesterday said that he's requesting possible U.S. military support because of oil and oil fields. This is not getting ahead of a decision but this is the clarification. Would such a request stay at Southcom or would it have to come to the Pentagon? How does that work? Well of course any decision whether it's requesting military support would originate at the COCOM and then of course flow up through OSD. Thank you. Great. Fadi. Thank you Sabrina. I want to go back to Idris's question. So this is the you said you saw the report I guess you were talking about the Human Rights Watch targeting Reuters photographer my late friend Issam Abdullah and six other journalists included Jazeera and AFP. This incident happened in Lebanon but it didn't happen in Gaza where Hamas exists. According to the reports it was deliberate and it amounts to a war crime. In addition to these discussion does the Secretary support accountability when it comes to the killing of Issam Abdullah and the targeting of these journalists? Well first Fadi I'm sorry I had no idea that you knew this journalist and of course our thoughts on behalf of the Department are with you and of course the family. Look we are in constant communication your daily communication with the Israeli sorry with the Secretary's Israeli counterparts and also here from senior levels engaging with the Israeli government. You've seen all types from the Vice President's office her National Security Advisor was just engaging with his Israeli counterparts to discuss what is happening within Gaza and around Israel. We do not want to see this conflict spread out into a wider regional conflict. As you know we've sent and surged assets into the region to bolster our deterrence and send a message that we do not want to see this conflict widen and that also means any conflict or clashes along the northern border. I've said it before and I'll say it again the targeting of innocent civilians is something that we take very seriously and so we are in all of our conversations with the Israeli government urging that they always take into account innocent civilians as they are conducting their operations against a terrorist organization that is Hamas. Thank you. On a separate issue Israeli forces announced yesterday that they have received so far almost 10,000 tons of equipment and ammunition and almost 200 airshipment. Are you able to say whether all of that came from the U.S. or how the proportion of U.S. aid as part of what was announced? I can't say for certain what part is U.S. support. We've been very clear that we're going to continue to support Israel with security assistance through FMS and FMF and as long as they need that support to conduct their operations against Hamas but in terms of the announcement that the Israeli government made I can't tell you what specifically in that package that was delivered was U.S. military assistance. All I can tell you is that we are continuing to support Israel and I'll just leave it at that. For the future, this is not a question. Will you be able to compile the amount of assistance that's been provided, whether in a dollar term or I don't know, weight or whatever? That's something that I know you've asked about that's something that we're working through. The difference and what makes it difficult is that the way we provide security assistance, let's say to Ukraine is through coming off of our stock shelves and it's through the presidential drawdown authority which is different from the funding mechanism such as FMS and FMF. We are working on it. It's not that I've forgotten, I certainly haven't. As you know we've said that we're providing broad strokes. Israel with ammunition, precision guided munitions and then air defense of course as well. Nancy. I just want to start by reiterating by these points the war is two months today and I think this information we've been asking for for a few weeks and given that at least part of it is paid for by tax dollars I just want to reiterate how much we'd like to see that information as soon as possible. I had a question about the Biden administration's announcement earlier this week, kind of issuing a dire warning that if Congress is not passed funding for Ukraine by the end of the year it could affect resourcing for that war. Some Republicans are saying that the situation is not as urgent as the administration has presented it because there's at least a billion in funds and given the pace of funding or weapons that have been provided so far that that money can stretch out for a bit of time I wanted to know if you could give me a Pentagon assessment in terms of when funds could run out and how urgently this funding needs to be provided for Ukraine. Is there a point where the Pentagon feels without that funding in the next weeks it threatens the war itself? Sure, so I think the assertion was that Ukraine doesn't need this funding and that they could manage with what we have left. Is that what you were summarizing? The U.S. has enough funding, there's still not remaining funding that it could last for it could be stretched out for a few more months that it's not as urgent as the president presented yesterday. Yeah. He said it needed to be before the holidays. Right, I would Sorry, Dominic. I would strongly push back against that assertion. The biggest problem that we are running up against is we don't have enough money to backfill our own stocks, which means we don't have enough to continue to supply Ukraine with what it needs because it is our weapons, our capabilities, our systems being pulled off our shelves and being shipped over to Ukraine. And so if we can't backfill, that's going to also impact our own readiness, which means that's going to impact what we can provide Ukraine. And so I would really push back against that assertion. And till very recently, we've enjoyed bipartisan support from Congress and that security assistance has been critical in providing Ukraine what it needs on the battlefield. And I would just remind you that everyone thought that Putin would take Kiev in three days. And the Ukrainians have done an incredible job of not only defending Kiev, but then there were other battles that they were continue to push the Russians back, continue to push them into the east and into the south. They are making very good use of our capabilities. And not just ours, allies and partners as well, providing them with the weapons systems that they need. And so you've heard the President say, you've heard the Secretary say it, we're in it with Ukraine for the long haul. It's not just about making sure Ukraine has what it needs to defend itself on the battlefield. It's about making sure that Russia also gets the message that it cannot expand into other countries into other sovereign countries because that's exactly what Vladimir Putin wants. And you've seen some support from both sides of the aisle in Congress. I think there's a small majority that oppose sending more funding for Ukraine. We're working through that. We believe that the urgent supplemental request that we submitted to Congress is the right thing for Congress to pass. And we're hopeful that it gets done. One last topic. Can we get some sense of the number of stories that the Ike and Ford strike groups have conducted? Just I think we haven't had any real visibility in sort of how busy they've been as they have been in the Mediterranean. I'd love if possible some data on that. Yeah, we can take that. Yeah, no problem. Yes, over here. Thank you. Comparing to the last couple of weeks, there are very few attacks on international force and your force in Iraq. So do you believe it is because of your response to the previous attacks? And if I may add this, do you believe the Iraqi government can protect your forces that are in Iraq at the invitation of the government of Iraq? Well, just as you said, we're in Iraq at the invitation of the Iraqi government. They've been one of our partners in the region and within Iraq in protecting our forces. And of course, the mission, the reason why we are in Iraq is to ensure the enduring defeat of ISIS. So that the Iraqi military has been a partner in that effort. Look, in terms of the attacks on our forces, I think it's important to remember that it's good that we have not seen attacks on our forces in the last 24 hours. We would like to see that continue. I can't speak to whether that will be the case. I can't predict the future. But I would remind you that when we have decided to respond, it has been deliberate. It has been effective. Our strikes have been able to destroy weapons facilities, command and control node, storage facilities that these IRGC backed groups use. So I think it's important that while we did see a spate of attacks against our forces, they were largely not successful with minor damage to infrastructure. And so, of course, we'll always respond back at a time and place of our choosing, but I'll just leave it at that. Yes. Thank you. I have two questions on Osprey. Is this the first time for U.S. military to stop flying all Osprey variants at the same time? My second question, can you give us a sense of a rough time frame of how long the stand-down will last? Is it likely to be a matter of weeks and months rather than days? I'd refer you to the services to speak to how long the stand-down will last in terms of if this has been the first stand-down. This is not. We've done this with other platforms. We've done it with the Osprey before, but I'd let the services speak to that. Yeah, and then I'll come in the back. Thank you. Sure. Why did it take a week to, you know, reach the decision of stand-down? Well, again, we started conducting the investigation as soon as the November 29th mishap happened. As the investigation was being conducted, the Air Force felt the need to issue that stand-down, but for more information I would direct you to the Air Force to speak to that. Osprey, what is the potential material failure that was indicated in the preliminary investigation? Could you give us a kind of more specific or clarification? I unfortunately don't have more information. I would direct you to the Air Force to speak to that. Again, this is an ongoing investigation, so I certainly want to get ahead of that at this time. Yeah. Thank you, Sabrina. As you mentioned of the opening when you came, that there's a call between Secretary Austin and his Saudi counterpart, and they were talking about the Houthis. So today, the NSC coordinator, John Kirby, he said, we are not in an armed conflict with the Houthis. So does the DOD share with Mr. Kirby this view? You are not in a war with the Houthis, and how so you can prevent this conflict from widening and escalating? Yeah, absolutely. We share that view. We're not in an armed conflict with the Houthis. We have seen drones and missile shot from Houthi-controlled areas within Yemen, not necessarily targeting our ships, but of course targeting most likely commercial vessels that are transiting through the Red Sea. And so part of why we are in the region is to bolster our deterrence, but to also ensure the free passageway of commercial ships that are transiting through one of the most vital waterways in the world. And so, yeah, no, I completely agree with what Mr. Kirby said earlier today. We don't seek conflict. We don't want to see this widen out to a regional war or into the larger region. And that's why you've seen the secretary make the decisions he did to send two carrier strike groups, one in the eastern Med and then one, of course, in the St. Com area of responsibility to deter, to send the message of deterrence, to send a message to Iran and its proxies who would want to inflict whether it's damage or harm to Iraq and Syria or disrupt commercial commerce in the Red Sea and in the region. So that was a very deliberate decision by the secretary. Yeah. Yeah, thank you. So just a circle back on Ukraine. The Ukrainians admitted that their counter offensive has failed. Do you agree with that assessment and do you believe the war is a stalemate? And then how do you think the Ukrainians can break out of that? Does, like, more money in weapons help or do you think they need a new strategy? I think your summary is a bit short. I don't think that they would say it's failed. We have seen them make progress in the counter offensive. It might not be the gains that they want to be making every single day, but there is incremental progress. I think that's important to remember. I'd let the Ukrainians speak to their own operations and how they can change what they need to do for the next phase of the war, which is entering into winter. We have provided them the training, the equipment, the support that they need to be successful. And we feel very confident that they will be successful. And part of that is also invigorating their defense industrial base, which is why you saw the secretary speak at commerce just yesterday about the need for industry to partner with Ukraine so they can have a robust defense industrial base as this war continues. But I would let the Ukrainians really speak to their own operations and characterize what they see as success on the battlefield. Do you agree the war is a stalemate right now? I would let the Ukrainians speak to their own operations. Again, we feel confident that they have what they need to be successful on the battlefield. Great. I saw a question over here and then we'll wrap it up. I have two questions in the Middle East. The first is the U.S. region, 13 individuals and entities that are funding the Houthis in Yemen. Do you believe that will slow down the amount of attacks that we're seeing in the Red Sea in that region over the coming weeks, or is that something that will be more long-term in slowing them down? And then secondly, what is the Pentagon's assessment of Israel's campaign to eliminate Hamas and Gaza? So in terms of the, I think you're referring to sanctions that were issued by the Department of Treasury, I would direct you to them to take more to the sanctions that were placed on those 13 individuals. Look, when you're hitting a financial network that has obvious effects, I can't predict that that slows down or stops any attacks. We can only continue to send the message that we do not want to see this war or a war widened into a regional conflict. And we will continue to respond should our leaders of our ships feel the need to in self-defense. And I'm sorry, your second question. Is the current assessment of Israel's campaign to eliminate Hamas and Gaza? Oh, sorry. Look, I'd let Israel speak to that. We continue to engage with the Israelis on their targeting of a terrorist organization in Gaza. We are talking to them, the Secretary is talking to Minister Galant on an almost long-term basis. We are still getting updates but also voicing support and concern where he needs to. Did I see one more question? No. Yes, one in the back and then we'll wrap it up. Thank you. So director Ray from the FBI said a few days ago in a hearing on the Judiciary Committee in the Senate that the United States, was seeing terrorist alerts that are unprecedented and he even compared them or accepted the comparison to what the United States was seeing before 9-11. Do you coincide with that? Are you also worried or are you concerned about an unprecedented level of terrorist threats not only inside the United States but also do United States have any interests abroad? I would let the Department of Justice really speak to that and the Department of Homeland Security speak to the level of terrorist threats within the United States. That's not something this building can really speak to. Of course, we always monitor threats around the world, partners and allies and threats to our interests abroad. That's something that we're going to continue to do but I don't have anything to announce in terms of anything that we've observed that would change our behavior. Thank you very much.


Facebook's data warehouse, but it's still pretty large. And latency has to be low enough because you have large cache in front of MySQL, but if cache misses, then queries are coming to MySQL. Then if MySQL serving a script is slow, then it suffers people's experiences on Facebook, which is pretty bad. So the MySQL database has to be fast enough for the main database, and our operations are automated. So hardware types, so we use flash SSDs on hardware, and it's pretty space bound. So this is the biggest motivation of why we started MyLogs project. And it's pretty much space bound. So CPU usage is pretty moderate. So it's not that CPU bound, especially on threads. So these are the best backgrounds. So we are in the process of migrating MyLogs. So the points are broken in this laptop, but technical challenges. So at the initial migration, we need to find out the optimal MyLogs, the rock studies, family options, and we needed to create MyLogs instance with that data because there are already production services deployed in the AD. So we needed to deploy MyLogs so without stopping existing services. And creating MyLogs tables within short period of time is needed because our database is petabytes. So if it takes a long time to just migrate to one gigabyte, then it will take years to migrate to MyLogs, which is not realistic. And another important point of the MyLogs requirement is we don't use data or don't return long results to the client. So how to verify that? So verifying data consistency between existing MyLogs and the new MyLogs. So this verification was pretty important. After deploying it, so continuously monitor the resource usage like space or IOS or CPU memory for query plans, but query execution plans or stores or classes. So this monitoring was pretty important. So another challenge is when that MyLogs are on master size, so we started migrating MyLogs on slave side, but master was also challenging. So we require using low-based final log for MyLogs. So it's same as MySQL cluster or other storage engines because statement-based final log needs a gap log or table-level log like MySum or Indolevi. So we don't support gap log feature in MyLogs. So that's why we need RVR. And so removing queries relying on Indolevi gap log that's also needed. So there are not many queries like that, but for example, when people want to create cues on top of Indolevi, then this means you rely on the Indolevi gap log. So this can't be used in MyLogs. And we recently supported the XA two-phase commit support in MyLogs, which is two-phase between final log and MyLogs. So this is pretty critical for supporting master size. So creating MyLogs instances without downtime. So this was the first requirement. So, but this is relatively my SQL, just picking up on the Indolevi slave, then stop slave, then dumping with MySQL dump, then loading into MyLogs. So this is the basic step of the using, combating to MyLogs is the one instance. So, thanks to MySQL, the robust replication support, the stopping once slave does not affect services. So MySQL replication environment is relatively simple. So it's using a single master multiple slaves. We don't use change multi-tier replication environment because it is a bit too hard for us to manage. We, another interesting feature is, so we use MyLog compression on the, during a network. So because we have a geographically distributed MySQL replication environment. So the reducing a network size during a transferring from a master to slaves is pretty important to reduce network size. So, but the dump slave currently is not that efficient. So dump slave compresses MyLogs with Zlib, then sending to the slaves. But this happens to all of the, for the slaves. So if there are 10 slaves, then the dump slave needs to compress the same binary layer. So 10 times for all slaves. So this is pretty inefficient. And the Zlib compression uses a lot of CPUs. So currently, so we have a CPU usage on the issue on the master side. So we are working in progress to switch to a Z standard which is a newer and a much more secure to send a compression format to save the CPU usage on the binoc dump slave. And we use same sync replication. So we use a lossless same sync to prevent data loss on the, during failure over. And we have multiple databases within the instance. So create database. So we have multiple databases and we use multi-slated slave on the slave side to reduce the network. But hopefully, the single master multiple slaves only matters for MyLogs. So others are pretty much independent from a storage engine. So just stopping one slave, then dump, then load to MyLogs. So the second point is MyLogs tables with optimal current family options. So the lock-save, as Mark said, there are lots of parameters for lock-save. So this means the MyLogs have lots of parameters. And most parameters are dependent on the current family. So the MyLogs has two important features concerning about current family options. The winds index orderly. So Facebook has, you can support like a Facebook news feed. So this is fetched by an order by time descending. So most of the Facebook workload is, range scan workload is descending scans. So this means the descending scan has to be fast enough for lock-save. So by default, the lock-save scan ordering is pretty optimized for ascending scans. So we need a different format. So another format optimized for descending scans. So we call this as a reverse order current family. So reverse order current family specifies the data is stored in opposite order, which means it's pretty optimized for descending scans. And broom filter is, broom filter extends for makes the point lookups or range scan with equal predicates fast enough. So the broom filter needs to specify a broom filter length which is highly dependent on the index size. So this means if you have many different types of indexes that you need to configure different broom filter options which means you need more broom filter current families. So we are still working in progress to make this more robust and efficient for specifying a broom filter for current families. But anyway, so the most MyLogs configuration options that are current family under each MyLogs index belongs to a specified current family. So in production, so we classified indexes on our main database for a limited number of similar current family types, like a node or link or link in reverse order or others. So we have limited a few current families then mapping many indexes into the round for current families. So data loading, so we implemented a bulk loading feature in MyLogs to make initial migration from our innovative to MyLogs faster. So directly creating, so by default, the log service write path is writing to mem table then many compaction happens to and eventually writing to the bottom most levels. So which requires writing the single one megabytes write results in more like 10 megabytes writes. It still extends in a little bit, but still writing many more than original data. So we implemented a bulk loading feature in MyLogs which creates the data files in the bottom most level directly on internet. So which means bypassing all mem table writes and the compactions. So primary key can be controlled by a session variable called a rock city work load which by specifying that options, then everything is written directly. But loading data must be pre-sorted by primary keys. So this is a requirement. But for initial migration, it doesn't bother because you use my screw down a hyphen hyphen order by primary. Then it guarantees that the data original data was sorted by primary key. And for secondary keys, so we added the first index creation. So all the table at the index, creating index automatically uses bulk loading for the secondary keys. So this is basic data migration steps for us. So create table with no data from my skill dump, then creating my logs tables, then all the table drop indexes because to use a first index creation. Then my skill dump, then host equal in the baby, then pipe the my skill, then it command set my skill loading called zero and set rock city bulk load equal zero. Ah, sorry, so this is a typo, so rock city bulk load equal one. Then all the table at the index, then using a first index creation. Then after finishing that, the start slave. So on our hardware, so we could migrate about one terabyte in other instances in just one or 1.5 hours, which is pretty good from a migration point of view. So the data loading, aside from data loading, so another very critical requirement for us was we don't return the wrong results to clients. So the data verification. So my logs is relatively new database technology, so not just us, so many people like you might care about the quality. So they might have more bugs than robust in the database. So in the database, robust, it has over 10 years of history, but the log state is fairly new. So people care about the bugs. So data consistency is one of the most important requirements generally, not just us, but from our communities. So we wrote a verification test tool to check the data consistency between inner-db, one log-cd, or just single the my log-state consistency. So we have a couple of tests. So one is an index count check between primary key and secondary keys. So this is the counting the mismatches. If there are mismatches between the primary key and secondary key count, low counts, for the same table, then this is something wrong. So this is the basic check test and it doesn't need in the database. So just running a statement like this, so select count from a force index primary union, so select count from a force index secondary key. Then this is the same transaction scope statements. So the low count has to be the same. If the low count is different, then the data is broken. So it has to investigate. So we started using the tool and checked all tables with secondary keys and we fixed most of the outstanding issues before deploying in production. The second part is index stats, statistics. So the checking the estimated low counts like a short table status. If it's far different from actual low counts, then it's wrong. So the funny thing is this found a bug that the bug loading didn't update statistics. So that was a bug. So the short table status returns a zero low count for the one billion table. So one billion tables with one billion records. So hopefully this tool detects the problem before deploying in production. And the third part is check some tests with InnoLady. So comparing between InnoLady instance and Milox instance. So this needs a bit tricky scripting. So basically what we did was running a start transaction with consistent snapshot with the same GTID positions between InnoLady and Milox instance. Then getting the stopping slaves, then finding the GTID position, then starting transaction with the same GTID snapshot then running the same queries, same table scans. Then the result has to be consistent. So by running a queries, then comparing checks. And shadow correctness check is another important feature for us, but so let me check out the shadow test. So we have a shadow test framework. So capturing read and write queries from production instances.  So we have a custom audit province to capture queries. Then we have a logging framework called scribe. Then the capturing queries then starting into the data warehouse, then replaying them into a shadow queries on the shadow instances. And we did that as a shadow master test before deploying master instances. So detecting client errors, or finding queries relying on gap log. So we have several commands to list up queries and gap log, then fix them before deploying production. So note of issues and how we fixed was lots of snapshot conflict errors, which is so Milox transaction implementation. So the isolation implementation is a bit different from InnoReview. So Milox implementation is pretty close to Postgre style. And by default isolation is repeatable read. Then Postgre and Milox style repeatable read may return errors called a snapshot conflict errors where the InnoReview is silently updating the conflict. So it means that users may get more errors. And they, yeah. So we noticed that, and we decided to switch to read committed for the major queries. Then read committed fix the problem. And another issue, interesting issue we found was a slave stopped with IO errors on leaves. So this silently stopping slaves, and it may take time for automation tool to detect that. So we switched to make the Milox abort critical IO errors from strategies from both reason rights. And index statistics, I said as I said before, so inaccurate low counts on bulk loading. So we fixed that. And we are still working progress about the index cardinality statistics has not been as accurate as InnoReview. So we are working in progress in optimizing that. But so we currently we have worked around to setting the EQ count index div limit. So it is my scale parameter from five, six to zero. So to using index type to estimate the statistics. And if you fix some crash bugs in Milox and Buxity. And compaction stores is heavy life. So this we often seen in production. So heavy life causing lots of compactions which may cause stores. So we observed stores on schema changes. So we use online schema change tool. So it's a bit different from our github, the ghost. But we have one, the schema change tool. So it's basically recreating tables on schema change. And recreating tables, so previously it load too much to memtable and cause too many compactions which store replications for about 10 seconds even though it's called online schema change tool. So we added the paragliding feature and the first index creation feature and we made our own schema change to use them to avoid compactions. And we also used different compression algorithms for lockstabies levels. So lockstabies has multiple levels. And about 90% of data is stored in the bottom most level.


Oh, I see somebody there they have an arrow. Oh SpongeBob, what's up, bro? Oh Mr. Krabs, I need you to get my cat a maid It's in town over there. Please mr. Krabs. I'm feeling what? What kind of game is SpongeBob you need some help bro. What's up everyone? Welcome back to realize the gaming and again our boy, Jr. Is not here. Our boy RG's at home this time. I don't know how long guys. I Think he's gonna be back tomorrow Any who I found a random random random game. It was called mr. Krabs Overdoses on something we do a do not overdose on anything. All right guys We're just gonna play this game because look at mr. Krabs right now. He looks pooped So let's see what this game has in store and hopefully I could beat this game because all the games I play they're too hard for me and then I just end up rage quitting. Oh, this game actually looks kind of good All right, so let's see right now So mr. Krabs right here. Yeah, he's kind of cool. Look at him.

So let's is this are these These are hotel rooms mr. Krabs.  Honestly, mr. Krabs has always been kind of sus He's always done a few things that you know that a good human being would would not do so that we found these Okay, so we found that I guess this is his medicine Let's go. Let's keep going this way. Okay, so just straight up the game looks pretty good Compared to all the exe stuff we usually play that's pretty boo boo This looks kind of good. So let's see see what this game has in store for us. I'm kind of scared Oh, we can I go in the car? Oh I got in the car. I don't know if you get in the car. All right, so let's Let's drive off.

Hey, what's up girls? Oh, where are those girls? I don't know. Oh, okay. There's a slow motion button That's what it was. Hey, what's that? Okay, so oh, so you've got people walking around. Okay, that's pretty cool. I See we could find SpongeBob or somebody. Hey, what's up, bro? How you doing man? You doing good doing good? You got my stuff. No, okay.  Some more pills right here And let's go this way Let's go up here But I died. Okay, so hopefully it's not hard to get up Let's go let's go up here and let's go up there All right, so I guess I just got to find some pills right now.  Oh wait. I'm dying though.

I know you're looking like a crackhead right now, but Thank you Your lifesaver you want to go get more good stuff. Go see Patrick. Oh What? Yo, this game is out of control right now. I can't believe You guys I apologize for these type of games man, but sometimes I'm playing these games so you don't have to okay, and I really hope you know. Oh Squidward. You look normal. What's up? Can I come in real quick? No, bro Squidward. All right. Now. I know where Patrick Star is. I had to stop Playing for a bit because I didn't I couldn't find them So let's go Let's go this way. He's by the anchor Patrick crack. He has to be by the sea needle. Gosh. Look at this man right here Look guys, you want to see what happens? When you hang out with the wrong people This game is something else. Don't play this game y'all. I Just want to see what happens now. Okay, so I guess I gotta I gotta beat him up or what? He's not dying though. This is try it out with well, I'm gonna hit him first. I just died just died come on Did he die? He scared me One more Yes, okay, that's four And then I go back. Okay, then I go back to Patrick. All right. Let's go this game That's what I see what happens now See what are they gonna make me do I have a feeling they're gonna make me go to Squidward now Patrick I tried Epic gamer Go All right, you know what I think this is where I'm a cousin today for this game All right, y'all if you guys want to see what happens next get this video to at least 300 likes 300 likes and We will make junior play this game. All right, because he's way better at these type of games, but look at Patrick y'all All right, that's it for today We actually have some other videos coming out today on pixel game squad We have a pretty big video where we go game hunting at this Oh, I'm at this event where we get retro toys retro games and everything so go and check that out for me if you guys Enjoy how dumb I am here.  All right, so that's it for today Hope you guys have a good day and make sure you like subscribe share blah blah blah. All right. See you guys later


Excel accounting practice problem short-term investment sale and recording of related gains Transaction get ready because we're about to excel Here we are in our excel worksheet and prior presentations We put together the excel worksheet from abling sheet now We're going to continue to enter transactions into it if you have access to it There's two tabs on down below an example tab and a practice tab practice tabs starting out where we left off a last Presentation example tab in essence being an answer key. Let's take a look at it now So we're going to be thinking about when we first started our business We put money into the business from ourselves the owner and from a loan We used that money then to buy inventory and furniture and equipment that we used to then generate revenue And we took some of that money put it into this short-term Investment parking it there that we were planning on using it in the future in order to generate revenue. So couple things


In an earlier video, I talked about how I organize the potential chaos of life and then get things done in a calm and organized way, right? And I talked about the core philosophy of capture, categorize, and calendar. And I talked in that video about the importance of capture and some of the tools that I use to do that. Now, in this video, I want to talk about categorize. So what categorize really starts with is to understand the categories of your life and of your business. So in this video, I want to talk with you, I'm going to share with you about what my major categories are. And hopefully that'll give you some ideas for your categories. And then I hope after watching this video, you will actually determine what your categories are and then really use them to organize the chaos that life can be. Okay, so what are categories? Categories are the core concerns of your life. What are the major projects that you want to be sure you do not fall through the cracks? What are the things that you want to make sure you schedule time for in your life? So let's start with life and then we'll talk about business, right? So in life, I have several core areas. I've got, I'll use my hand as an example because then if you can use something like your hand to remember what your core areas are, it'll be easier for you to remember and to be always looking at that. So one core area, very important is spiritual growth or personal development.  It also involves what kind of things I consume to further my knowledge. So podcasts, what kind of books, what kind of videos, things like that. So spiritual practice or spiritual growth. Another area is true livelihood, which I define as doing work that is emotionally meaningful, mentally challenging, financially viable and great for the world. So it's basically doing what our greatest contribution is in terms of our skills and talents, making the world a better place and being able to make a living doing it. I call that true livelihood, basically careers, what some people call that. Another important area is community involvement or politics. So this is how I'm involved in my local community, how I'm involved online in terms of the political issues that I care about, the social issues, environmental issues, things like that that I care about. And by the way, I really took on these categories based on my research of what makes human beings happy. And in the notes of this video, I'll include some of that research. There is also very important is my key relationships. So this is my family, my wife, relationships even with my pets, my nuclear family, of course my mom and my siblings, relatives and of course my close friends, my local friends, my virtual friends, et cetera, key relationships, of course my business relationships as well. So that's actually more in the business arena, which we'll talk about next. And then creative hobbies, let's not forget about that. The creative hobbies that keep the other aspects of our intelligence alive and happy. So it could be music, art, other kinds of creative things that we do. It shouldn't always be about the left brain. We also need to be nurturing and expanding and integrating with the right brain, right? So creative hobbies are extremely important. And then I talked about these five things and all these things integrate to the palm, which for me is healthy living, mind, body, mind and body and emotions, right? Healthy living. And healthy living includes eating well, exercising regularly, mental health, but it also includes the physical environment, contributes a lot to health. So how decluttered is my home, my home office, things like that. So that's sort of like the foundation because without health, you really can't do much in this life, right? So that's why I consider that the foundation. So what about you? So I've given you my major categories. What about you? And you may actually want to pause this video and write down what your major categories are. All right. So let's keep moving and talk about business categories that are important. I'm going to share with you what mine are. So one is very important is client services. And this is what activities am I doing to make my clients more successful and happier? So this is basically analyzing all the times, all the aspects of my business where my clients interact with me and my business. And I kind of look at each piece of it and see how can I optimize each piece to make it more pleasant, more successful for my clients. A second one is enrollment, which is the activities I do to ensure that I always have an adequate level of clients to be able to keep my business alive, right? Third one is content, things like this, making videos like this, writing blog posts, working on my book, engaging on social media, content. I primarily think about content creation, making videos, creating knowledge for the sake of my clients to make them more successful. But it's also for the sake of my audience, the people who, even if they're not my clients, I want to make them successful as well, inspire them, give them tips to make their business more successful, effective, make their productivity, all of you, to help you be happier and healthier and more successful in your business and in your life. So content is extremely important for me, okay? So it's client services, enrollment content, networking. So networking is keeping in touch with my kindred spirits colleagues, kindred spirit colleagues who have a related business to mine. And we help each other because the way I think about it is, when my network is stronger, I'm stronger. And when each person in my network is stronger, the entire network is stronger. So it's about regular activity and keeping in touch with my kindred spirits that may be having a video conference call with them or even recording something that can be shared with our audiences. Maybe it's connecting with new kindred spirits and possibly reaching out about writing guest blogs for their audience if it's appropriate and we're doing a webinar for their audience, things like that. Doing interviews for different audiences, okay? So that's networking. And then very importantly is optimizing. What I mean by optimizing is looking at my web presence, looking at my website, looking at my content, and how am I making my website more effective, more aligned to who I most want to reach and need to be reaching? How am I making my content more attractive and a better fit for my ideal audience? But optimizing a lot of it is about my website and also my email newsletter, the ways that I'm reaching out, the ways that when people see me, how is it aligned with my brand or the message and the being, the values that I want to come across as? And optimizing, the way I think about optimizing is that it's making sure I'm not wasting traffic. When people give me with their attention on my website, newsletter or content, is it serving its highest purpose and giving the most positive impact that it can? So what about your business that I've shared my categories? What are your categories? Of course, feel free to borrow as many of mine as you want, but you may have other categories as well. Actually, one thing I didn't mention in the life category, a lot of people want to put in is finances, sort of making sure you have time scheduled in your calendar to work on your financial life, making sure you are categorizing your expenses, looking at your bank accounts, looking at your credit card statements, looking at making sure you've got the right kinds of insurance, making sure you're saving property, all those things. The reason why it's not in my life categories is because I've worked many years to make sure my finances are in order and that's such a habit for me now. It's so integrated into the way I manage my life that I don't even have to really manage it to really think about it because it's so natural for me now. And so that's why it's not one of my categories I even focus on. But the categories that I did talk about are the ones I do want to focus on, the ones that I do want to habituate even more effectively. So again, what are your life categories and now what are your business categories? You may also want to put in administration that, again, that's integrated so finally into the way I run my business that I don't really think about that as a category but you may need to have that category to focus on to make sure it doesn't fall through the cracks. So what is it for you? Pause this video and then un-pause it when you're ready when you've written down your business categories. Okay, so a couple of tips before I end this video is to keep your categories as few as possible. You want to keep things as simple as possible, again, that's the reason why I don't have finances in my life categories. The reason why I don't have administration in my business categories because I've already integrated that. I don't need to be focusing on that. Keep it as few as possible but also be sure not to let anything slip through the cracks. So anything that you go, gosh, I really should be putting regular attention on filling the blank, then that should be one of your categories, right? A couple of questions to think about what categories to keep and to discard is what activities energize you? What activities energize you in your life and in your business? Now the question is, are they included in your categories somewhere? Are they one of your categories if not include them, okay? Another question is what activities drain you? What activities in your life drain you? What activities in your business drain you? You know what? You probably don't have to do those things anymore or you can find another way to reach your vision, to reach your goals, okay? So ask that question of yourself, pause this video, write down those answers and let that inform your categories. Now let's talk about what kind of tools to use to keep track of your categories and I want to kind of speak of these quickly and then in another video I will go more in depth into the tool that I use and love. If you like to use outlining to keep track of your categories, then three tools. One is Google Docs, Google Docs is free, wonderful, wonderfully advanced as well, easy to use and it's advanced and you can easily use that for outlining. You can use many documents, you can do separate document for each category for example and in that document you can have an outline of what are all the subcategories or all the important projects within that category to work on, okay? Another wonderful tool for outlining is Workflowy, Workflowy again, I'll give links in the notes of these videos, one of my clients I introduced him to Workflowy and he absolutely swears by it, loves it, shout out to Nathan Lively. The third tool which is the one I use is called Todoist and Todoist is the way that it's organized is by projects which I think of as categories and then underneath each project you can have sub-projects with sub-categories you can think about and then underneath each one is within each project or sub-project are tasks and then within each task you can have comments. So anyway, I use Todoist and I'm going to create videos later coming up to show you how I use Todoist. Todoport.com is a tool that you can use to try out different Todo softwares and that's really how I started using Todoist, I'll give a link to that. Mind mapping is another way that people love to organize their categories. MindMup, M-I-N-D-M-U-P.com is a wonderful free mind mapping tool that I use right now. Another one mind mapping tool is MindMeister, I use that for many years, very advanced features, very well designed. I'm using MindMup mostly now because MindMup.com instead of MindMeister now because MindMup is free and I always want to use the lowest cost tools possible to really allow other people to have to model to other people that you can use these tools on the cheap or free. If you like a more visual way besides mind mapping, another visual way of doing it is boards, having boards for your various categories and projects and Trello, T-R-E-L-L-O.com is a tool that many people swear by and it's also great to use in a team. So the last thing I'll remind you of is capture all of your ideas, remember to categorize your random ideas you captured once a day or twice a day and then calendar your categories, make sure all of your categories in life and business are in your calendar on a recurring basis so that you're working on them. So I hope this is helpful and I'm always open to your comments and your questions.


I am extremely nervous. Today we are doing something that I have been thinking about doing for a while, but haven't actually pulled the trigger on it. Um, and then I pulled the trigger on it. We have got some really, really special stuff today. We've got from a good old dude on Instagram called the Pokeju. We have four packs. We have a call of legends pack and four first edition neo destinies. Very, very excited. And then you know who it's from. My boy, Leonhart. We have a first edition team rocket booster box. He also threw in this, which I don't know what it is. Obviously it's a bunch of packs, but I haven't opened these up. He didn't tell me what these are. So we'll probably warm up with these, then do the call of legends and the neo destiny and then end with this. I'm afraid. I'm genuinely afraid. I'm so afraid. I'm so, oh my God. I'm so afraid. Hello. Hello. Oh, how's it going? Can you hear me? Yes, I can. Do you want to say hi to the stream? Hi, everybody. My name's Leonhart. How's everybody doing? Oh, Chris might hop on. Oh, nice. It's like a full on like color analysts type of thing that they do for sports. Got the full crew. Wow, guys, all first edition face set packs. Yes. Surprised. Charizard's in every single one. That's crazy. Ooh, some vivid voltage in here. And this is where I'll be jealous if you pull the Pikachu or my own card, the Leon card. We will see. We will see. Is that a Chris Melburger who just popped in? What? I've been sitting on the neo destinies for like a week and a half because I was like, oh, I got to wait for a big moment. And now I'm like, well, here's the moment. I mean, I can like 10, 15 minutes. You do your thing. I'm going to make some coffee and go on my computer so I sound better. Woohoo. All right. See you soon, mister. So we got five vivid voltage. We got 10 darkness ablaze. And we got three. I love you too, Chris. And then we got three sword and shield.  You really hooked it up. Thank you. Going to start with the with the sword and shield. I like doing something called the guess the energy. Oh, yeah. Or you can guess what our energy card people pretty get into it and stuff. It's pretty fun. Everybody next next pack. Guess guess what the energy might be. All right. We got Sudowoodu. We got Eldegoss. Energy search. Encino. Chinchu. Krogunk. Galarian Meowth. Who creeps me out. I don't like the art for Galarian Meowth to be completely out. Especially the Percerker. I it makes me really uncomfortable. So go our funny. Same here. Revert. Oh, here we go. Reverse Holo Santa Conda. And just a regular station. It's a regular one, but that's so great. Let me I want to check really quick. Hold on. I'll be right back. I have my binder right next to me. This card used to be worth a lot more, but they made it like a promo card. The gold station. No, just the one that you just pulled. Oh, you have the gold one. I do have it. Yeah. So I guess I have done just normal sword and shield. I forgot about that. So nonchalantly, sorry. Golden one. Forgot about you. Time for darkness of blaze. All right, chat. Guess the energy. And you will win nothing. I say I say psychic. Pats on back is what you win, actually. Oh, there you go. All right. You're saying psychic. I'm going to say steel. Oh, you have to give yourself a pass on back. Oh, man. It's very easy. And now is when we we pulled the Charizard first edition base at Charizard out of this darkness of blaze pack. Do you have how many how many misprint cards you have? Because I know that a lot of collectors really like getting the misprints because it's just I have like a like a handful, like a tins full of them, but they're all just random. I'm not really a collector of them. They just kind of happen. Hey, what do you got? Really? Nice. Yeah. I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with all of my. I think taking them to a children's hospital or like bring them to choice for cost or something would be really cool. Yeah. Usually for like children's hospital, unless like the specific children's hospital, they want you to send sealed stuff. So I usually do that at this time of the year, but usually choice or tots, great, great organization and they always give it to a bunch, spread it out and stuff. So if you can find a place to, but I'm sure there's plenty of other places that would accept. I don't know what I what I want to do with my reverse hollows too, because I have a ton of them. If you want to like collect like a master set of each, you know, one of each, so you get like the whole set and then the rest of them just do whatever with. I think we might have. Oh, hey, what do you got? Oh, the bottom of that is looking juicy. Ho, ho, ho. All right. What do we got? Oh, nice. There we go. I think I think this is number two for me because I'm pretty sure I have this one, but still. And yeah, these cards are surround probably like a 12 dollar card. Not too bad. What's your favorite Pokemon? Have I asked you a Squirtle? Oh, that's right. Is that your favorite? Your favorite card too? Or do you have a different favorite card? Um, I think my like my favorite Squirtle card is actually in the box.  Um, I really don't know if I have the favorite card. Nice. Oh, okay.  I've been pulling that one too much. I really hate the name of this card, by the way. Say it. Why don't you say it for everybody? Say it really loud. Clobbo Puss. Emphasis on. Wow. That's the first one for me. I love that. It's going to sell to be amazing rare, man, because that's a good one, a really good one. That's a good one. 20, 25 bucks. Do you think these will retain their value, Leona? Because I feel like I love them. Yeah, probably not. Yeah. Sorry, but I love them. So like probably not. Now it's time for some big boys. We have from Dude, from Michael himself. Pokeju on Instagram. I guess I'll do the Call of Legends first. And then we'll get to Dude, just sniff those please. Sniff them first. Sniff them. Yeah.  Oh my God. First edition near Destiny, do you realize how incredible these are? We got all of the art too. Their first edition. Yes, dude. What? Yeah, you have my curiosity, but now you have my attention. All right. Let's do Call of Legends first. I'm super excited. These cards are really, really cool. I love the diversity. You and I. All right. Leona, what are some of the best? Did you already go over what the potential best pools are for these? Pass. Not really. Just kind of like near Call of Legends. For Call of Legends, you want to get one of the shiny Ultras, specifically Suicune, so we can see Ethan go crazy. Is it three? Is it four? It's probably just three. But the set could be different. I hope I didn't ruin it. Well, we'll see. All right. We got Jolteon. Professor Oak. We got Traina. Mary. Fun fact. The set was just an English release set. Oh, really? That's interesting actually. We got Teddy Ursa. We got Fanfi. We got Eevee. We got Reverse Hollow Weezing. That's cool. They're rare. I don't actually know. And then we got Skarmory. Oh, that's a nice Skarmory, too. I'm going to sleeve this Reverse Hollow Weezing. Here we go, gamers. Neo Destiny time. It's Neo Destiny. Away. Chris, because you introduced me to Pokeju, you choose the pack that we open first. Celebi. Celebi. That pack art is also worth something. I'm pretty sure. It's so cool. Do you know the shinings in the set? Because there's Charizard, Mewtwo, Noctow, Raichu. So many cool ones, dude. Keeping this pack in pretty good condition. I'm not going to lie. Here we go. We got Trainer. Dark Fortress. Forage Fortress. These are so dull. Look at that first edition logo.  We got Lediba. Slugma. Cyndaquil. These are all unwayed, by the way, chat. Larvitar. Trainer. Machop. Swinub. Ooh, there we go. You got a holo. You got a holo energy. Not bad. Not bad for a sedition. Even the energies for this that are pretty big. It's so pretty. It's so pretty. Leanheart, you choose the next pack. We got Noctow, Tyranitar, and what's his face? You know, I want to go with Tyranitar, but I'm going to have to go with Noctow. Like, I feel like there's a shining in the Noctow pack. All right. One, two, three to the back. We got Dark Flaffy. Unknown. Light Wigglytuff. Mary. Fanfie. Hitmonchan. I like that art. Psyduck. Giraffarig. Volpix. We got a Dratini. And a Dark Omastar. Ooh, I'm sorry. I like this Dratini. It looks like, like claymation. It's really cool. Chris, Tyranitar, or I cannot remember this Pokemon's name. Ethan, which one were you thinking? I kind of want to save Tyranitar for last, because it's cool art. Do it. Tojatic. All right. One, two, three to the back. We got Dark Omenite. Trainer. Houndor. Volpix. Execute. Seal. Venonat. Totodile. Suncurn. Gligar. And a Light Lantern. Or Anorak. Nannala. Dude, Nannala. All these cards are still worth something, because they're all first edition. Yeah.  You knew. All right. Last pack. We got the Tyranitar pack. All right, chat. Last pack magic. One, two, three to the back. Let's see if we can get some good stuff. Manifestaholo, chat. Manifestaholo. We got Light Wigglytuff. Magnifier. Dark Quilava. Cyndaquil. That's a good sign. Mail from Bill. Slugma. Lediba. Lights, Sunflora. Swineb. Gasly. And the last card. Hollow Light Asteroid. Hey, very nice. Ooh, okay. Nice. Dude. Damn, that's a really cool looking card. So, chat, if you look at it from this and you can kind of see like a hail and some bushes in the back, but then over here, flip it over that way. It's all like starry and stuff. That's a very pretty card. Two hollows. So, you know, that's a 50% success rate. Nice. Yeah, that's really good. It's time. And I am really nervous. Huge, huge thank you to Leonhart for providing me with this booster box. I am incredibly nervous. All right, let's, uh, I don't even, how do I, I don't even know what to do. I don't even, how do I, how do I, okay, cool. I'm so nervous. This is literally insane, by the way, everyone. This is insane. There it is. It's insane. How does it smell? Oh my god.  What are the big polls? What do we want to go for? Look at this. So, uh, first edition dark chart. Well, the main one, there's an air card which I may have spoken about before. It's a Dark Dragonite air card where it's not going to be holographic in the bottom right numbers will be five out of 82. So, everybody in the chat, if we somehow miss it, if he misses it, look for a Dark Dragonite non-holographic card, but the number says five out of 82, as opposed to 22 out of 82. If he pulls that, that card is worth like thousands and thousands of dollars, even ungraded. It's crazy. Okay. So, I have a Dark Dragonite, but it's not five out of 82. But basically, yeah, it says 22 out of 82, I believe, right? It does, yeah. Yeah. So, basically, if he pulls that, but it says five out of 82, that's awesome. That's amazing. Otherwise, realistically, Arc Charizard, Dark Dragonite, Dark Blastoise, Holographics are the top three that you want to pull. And Dark Magneton, which you pulled last time. PSA 10 for that's going for like $7,000 to $8,000. Do we want him to open all the packs or only the heavy ones? What do you think? I don't know if he's going to know. I'm going to open all of them. I don't know if he has the scale.  I know. Yeah, that's... I know. Listen, I know. One, two, three to the back. Here we go. Dark War Turtle. He's like, I'm getting something tonight, dude. Imposter Oaks Revenge. Slowpoke. A chop. Charmander. Voltorb. Manki. Dark Raticate. Squirtle. There you go. Hey. And? No way.  Wow. There you go. See, I'm excited about the vial bloom now. Dude, starting things off fresh. Also, Chris, I'm putting away three packs. I'm not weighing any of them. I'm giving one pack to you, one pack to Aaron Hansen, and one pack to Brian. Wait, why? Because I love you. That's really kind, and you should not. Well, it's my money. What if I'm like, all right, man, open my pack right now, and it's like the...  It's like the crate. Oh, the air car. Well, then, you know. That's good for you, bud. All right, three to the back. We got Dark Cadabra. The Boss's Way. Dark Machoke. Eevee. Eevee's big. Meowth. Goop Gas Attack. Grimer. Oddish. Zubat. Charmander. And Dark Weezing. Holographic? Not holo. We're both like, is it holo? Please. How many? There's 24 packs, right? 36. Oh, there's 36 in these? Yeah. That's what I was like, dang, they're doing all 36. Yeah, I'm doing all 33. I'm doing 33. All right. We got a trainer. Nightly Garbage Run. Dark Cadabra. Goop Gas Attack. Getting a lot of trainer cards in here. Zubat. Eevee. Grimer. Oddish. Psyduck. Ekans. And Dark Weezing. Another one. That's holo. This is holo. Let's go. That's a holo. Oh, nice. All right. It looks, it looks kind of sparkling sexy. Sometimes you can't tell. Yeah, I think it's holo. That's a hard one to tell. I think it is. It's holo. It's holo. It's really hard to tell. Two holos first. Claps the chat. Claps the chat. Only three packs in. Two holos. Wait, maybe four packs. I can't remember. I have no idea. I can only three packs in. Or where do you pull in the last? If you get the Dark Charizard first edition holo, I'm gifting 100 subs. All right. Also chat, I'm not going to really keep any of the the wrappings. So I know a lot of people might be like, you open it more carefully, but I don't think I'm going to keep any of them. So, and I'm nervous. Are you going to sell them or store them or throw them out? I don't know. I'll probably keep some. The ones that are in good condition. Keep them, keep them for giveaways or something. That's true. I don't know. Or maybe, or maybe I'm a, I don't know. Yeah, like. We got Manki. Dark Raticate. Squirtle. Hey, trainer. Diglit. Ponyta. Magnemite. And 22 out of 82, but still cool. Also, don't worry chat. I have like a big binder and a ton of slaves and stuff. So I will be protecting all of these cards. I'm not just going to leave them out. So Chris, what's your favorite Pokemon? Is it Gengar?

Hey, the centering looks very nice on it. So Dark Dragonite, Hollow. Wait, so you said there's a nonholla one. That's 5 out of 82. And nonholla 5 out of 82 is like the air one. But I mean, no, it's extremely rare. Like extremely rare. But it happens. What a pretty card. What a pretty card. It's one of the top three cards. And oh my gosh, it has a swirl.

So there's a swirl that's right there. So what's special about the swirl? Just that some holographics were printed with the swirl on it and people kind of go crazy.

So what one do you want? You choose. You don't have to do this, by the way. That's two kinds. No, I know. Open Surge, though. I think the Lieutenant Surge one you want to open.

Dark Primate. Oh, baby. Dark Jolteon. Nightly Garbage Run. Sleep. Diglet. Ponita. Magnemite. Dratini. Rotata. Koffing. And Dark Hypno. We still have 15 packs left. I feel like I've been opening these forever. I'm so nervous, you know? You ever get nervous about stuff?  What's the, you've opened so many cards and so many packs.  I was definitely the first time back in this May, when I was opening up a heavy first edition base set pack. Was that the one where you pulled the Charizard? Yeah, that was like the very first one back when like Pokemon cards was like not that hype and stuff. And I was trying to like just do something crazy. Opening up a first edition heavy pack. And I was like sweating and like beyond nervous of opening it up and stuff. And then it just happened to be the Charizard, which made it all worth it. You got that graded, right? Five months later. Was that the one that got lost? Yeah, that was the one that got lost in the mail. It came back to PSA 9, which was still awesome. Dark Gloom. It actually came back. Diglet. Dratini. Drowsy. Had you just given up at some point in there?  This is like it's gone. Yeah, like I did everything I could even contact my local congressman and stuff to put in a quarry. Is that a non-hollow rainbow on your cheek? Yeah, I did like literally everything I can possibly do. So I basically just gave up on it. But I saw the market for the cards like just kept on getting crazier. So it made me feel even worse. But at that point, I was like, you know, if it comes back in the future, it comes back.  Came back randomly. All right. Dark Drolteon. Dark Primate. Trainer. Drowsy. Coffing. Rotata. Goop Gas. Meowth. Ooh. Eevee. Zubat. And Darkfile. Oh no, it's a Darkfile bloom. And the chat goes wild.

Oh, and we have- Ooh, Non-Holo Dragonites? Oh, that's right. We also got the Dark Vile Plume Hollow, and then the two Dark Dragonites, two Dark Weezing Hollows. We've, the Poll Rates are pretty good.

First edition ponytail. It'll be here. Is that funny? Do they have a holo rapidash or a holo ponytail? There's a rapidash. I don't think there's a holo rapidash. Dark Arbok. Oh, I pulled that the other day. I've gotten a couple dark ponytail. Yeah, but it's not the same because I wasn't here to see it. Oh, okay. Yeah. Well, this one. It's like quantum physics. This one, this one, this one, this one. It doesn't exist unless you observe. What's it called? The cat, you know. Meowth? Little pimp meowth? Little pimp meowth. Does Galarian meowth make you as uncomfortable as he makes me? No, I love him. Oh, there he is, little pimp. There he is. Oh, nice. We're coughing. You gotta see the champion's path, meowth. He looks like a little pimp. I don't like. Champion's path, champion's path. I have a bad relationship with champion. Really? Oh, here comes C-Rocket. Hallow! Oh, nice. There you go. I think it's time that you pull the Blastoise or Charizard. So I'm going to put my call on again because I have to. Blastoise. Okay, cool. It's going to be the Magneton. I'm thinking the Magneton, full-wheel Magneton. Yeah, I have one of those. I don't remember if I put three to the back, so this one might be weird. Dark Dabra, Dark Dragonair. Dark Trameleon. Nice. Psyduck, Ekans, Manki, a chop, Dark Raticate, Slowpoke, Squirtle, and another, here comes C-Rocket. Cool. There goes the Blastoise. But there was the Squirtle. And the Trameleon, man.

We have about one, two, three, four, five, six, seven packs left. There's got to be a Blastoise in here somewhere. Just hanging about. Two. It's going to be in those three packs that I'm giving away. Are you selling these wrappers? Is that why you're opening so delicately? No. He's a pro now. Oh, that's so good. We got Dark Rapidash. Challenge, Energy, Koffing, Meowth, Goop Gas, Zubat, Ebi, Grimer, Oddish, and Dark Blast was non-hollow. That's nice though. Hey, there we go. The next pack is the one, dude. Next pack's the one. Yeah, so I'm collecting all these packs that I'm massing from people and I'm going to, I think you did this, Lee, and I think you are opening up every pack. Yeah, every set. Yeah, I still have Neo down to base coming up, but yeah, just recently did that. It's pretty cool. So do you know, open them? I think so, man. If I get all of them. You can frame them all, put them on the wall. It is pretty cool. That is a pretty dope idea. Are you going to do that? I've already done that from last year when I did it. You can do it. You can get all of them and then burn them in a fire. I was thinking of eating them with mashed potatoes and green beans. Oh yeah, thanksgiving. Lose the green beans and then I'll take you up on that. Okay, how about candied yams? Perigus? I want my peat is no weird for three days. Oh, dark aloe vera! Nice. Very nice. Excellent. There we go. I like that a lot. Getting a lot of hollows in here, which I mean, I feel like I'm owed that for getting a whole two packs. What did that box weigh? A thousand pounds, dude? Can you curl that box? Nah, it's too heavy. I don't remember if I did three days back or not, so we might get, you know. Pretty seem not pulling that hollow Charizard is because it's in my pack. That's right. That is true. Echants. Sorry, well, it's in one of these other packs too. All right, Mander. Dark alakazam. Not hollow. Leon, when you do that event, the 90s card store event, I'm absolutely going to build a deck and play. Like, I want that experience so bad. Oh, yeah. I'll put the tables up in the back. So cool.

Wait, the Swirl. And Dark Raichu, holo. That's awesome. So all in all, we polled about $15 worth of Pokemon cards today. Maybe $16 on a good day. $13, I'd say $13. $13? Yeah, that's fair.


Sometimes he advises people on which one to buy. Of course that is how it's supposed to be. But if someone come with a particular design and say, this is what I want, I like the colors, I like the design someone was wearing and I want this, do you have it? Yes of course he's going to sell it and make his money. So at that time it becomes a responsibility of who is wearing it. If you are going to wear it for an occasion, you have to try and know the meaning of the fabric that you are wearing. You just don't wear it because your friend is wearing it or you like the colors or you like the design. So if in some instances the queen or a prominent figure in the society named the fabric like he was citing one example when the queen named like Obama. Obama bad. Obama bad, Michelle Obama bad. So in situations like that, it's just the name. That is what also brings about the abuse in design. That it's been so commercialized that the aesthetics were like the original way of naming this fabric if it were to be from the queen, she would name it out of maybe an incident that happened and say, oh here I'm referring to Mami Freyi or something that would talk about unity, something which based on an incident that happened they can use like that to also name the fabric but it is a responsibility.
