2018 Mercedes AMG GTR - The Lap S2:E1 | Sons of Speed - Duration: 5:38.
This is Brendan with Sons of Speed® for another episode of The Lap® and I have
got a treat for you. Today we are in the Mercedes-Benz GT R, this is an AMG
product. It is fast as hell, 500-and-how many horsepower? 577. 577! It's uh it's a
killer car man. So we're going to see how it does on the racetrack. I gotta tell
you though the seating position and interior on this car are top of the line.
So here we go. We're at Road America the best place to test this car 4.1 miles of
beautiful racetrack, and here we go!
Oh, little bit of wheel sp-, oh man, oh yeah!
This thing ju- Oh my God! That pulled like a freight train!
Whoo!
Alright!
Man, turn in is sharp!
This thing is insane!
And the brakes - carbon-ceramics all the way around.
Huge brakes.
Oh my God, does this work well.
Power is beautiful.
About 105
Slowing down for the chicane...ooh, nice!
No problem at all. I barely touched the wheel.
The paddles are really, really nice.
Even though they're mounted to the wheel, where we'd rather have them usually on
the column you barely have to move your hands on the wheel so
it works.
It's like a 5° I probably moved my hands so far?
The turn in is awesome!
I, I just ... I almost ...
You don't see too many cars like this,
that are this track capable right out of the box.
And that twin-turbo V-8!
Oh, these brakes! Oh my God the brakes!
OK
Uh, I as yet have found nothing I don't like about this car.
Going through the carousel nicely.
Oh, the grip is really there.
Look at that. Look at the brakes! Oh my God, oh my God! Into this
this is the replacement for the kink.
It's called the ... the, uh, motorcyle kink [bend].
Oh, the engine just pulls and pulls and pulls all day long!
And these brakes.
Ah, beautiful, gosh!
It's just great!
A little brush of the brakes...
Through the corners...
Oh my God, that was fantastic!
The shifts are crisp, this transmission is awesome.
It's dual-clutch, seven-speed.
Oh, and we're already done! Whoo! Whoohoohoohoo!
That was a quick four miles!
Wow! Howdy doody! That is insane, oh my God! I hope the audio picks up the sound of that motor
and the exhaust. That is intoxicating! This-wow Mercedes, you did a AWESOME job
starting with this beautiful interior (and thank God you finally got rid of
that keypad) and then this is this is a purpose-built track car.
It's it's phenomenal. So the only thing I always say I would love to have a
head-up display some shift lights maybe in the wheel or on the head-up display
just to remind you when to shift . The wheel would be so cool. The wheel, yeah, in the
wheel would be awesome. This is an Alcantara wheel there's Alcantara
carbon-fiber all over this inside, it's gorgeous. Easily one of the best if not
the best car we have yet to do an episode of The Lap on. This is what The
Lap is all about it's cars like this that if you have the means go out and
get one because man oh man, this thing is awesome! So until the next episode of The
Lap, this has been Brendan with Sons of Speed, and we will catch you definitely
at the track next time, and hopefully in one of these.

Do Anti Blue Light Glasses Work??? - Duration: 4:43.
Hi everybody I'm Amanda the G and I am clearly a hat person now
because poodle hair I still kind of care
Facebook decided to advertise me
anti blue light glasses
and they did this with a whole bunch of different companies and they were forcing it at me and I realized
they were all saying get these glasses and it'll help with your eye strain
and it'll blah blah blah blah blah a whole bunch of unsubstantiated bullshit
So I go and I looked at the research because
Amanda thinks
and what I found is that's all complete and total crap
Anti blue light glasses do not help with eye strain
what helps with eye strain is every hour
for 20 seconds
Looking 20 feet or further away from you, not at a screen, and focusing on that
so every hour just think you want to have 20/20 vision so every hour
20 feet away from you for 20 seconds
and not look at a screen
that helps your eye strain
But what they do help with
is a couple of things
they can help with migraines and they can help you fall asleep
better because blue light keeps you awake
So you're supposed to refrain from blue light for like 4 hours before you go to bed
which is a big ask ok?
to not look at your phone, your computer, your television
for 4 hours before you go to bed
That's not our lives anymore. Okay
There are times that I am working
until I go to bed
and I have a really big problem with insomnia
I have for years and years and years and years like
Since I was a teenager, I've had a problem with insomnia
So after looking at that research, I decided to buy myself a pair of anti blue like glasses
But I didn't buy any of the ones that were advertised to me on Facebook
cause they were all very expensive
I found these. they're Trust Optics
They were on Amazon for like 15 bucks
If you follow me on social media, you may have already seen these posts
Oh my god, trying to put these on with a hat on it's not easy. This is this is a
challenge ok
so we have my beautiful anti blue light glasses that are now reflecting all sorts my lights in them
and I thought
You know
I'll try these for a bit and then I'll make a video on- on them and tell y'all if they work or not because
Why are you wasting 15 bucks? I mean this was shipping included 15 bucks
But you know, why are you wasting money if they don't work for shit?
So the first thing is they do not work on eye strain that's proven
Okay, they don't work on eye strain
That's the 20/20 thing - look away
what they do actually help with though
is migraines
when I have a migraine starting or a really bad headache and I'm like trying to look at a screen and the screen is
just painful, it really really helps
I was the person who before
would turn down the brightness on my screen
and sometimes wear sunglasses
This kind of takes that whole thing out. You don't have to worry about that
it really helps, it turns down the brightness on the world
and it has really helped with my migraines
as far as sleep
I don't fall asleep well, no matter what
what the glasses help me personally with is winding down a little bit
So they don't help me actually fall asleep, and I haven't noticed that I'm actually able to fall asleep easier
But I will say that I'm more ready to go to bed and more ready to fall asleep
When it is actually time to go to bed
do they work?
kind of?
do they work $200 worth?
No, I wouldn't spend that much money
Okay
I would say if you have headaches all the time, and the screens are obnoxious
to you or if you have difficulty like turning off your brain at the end of the day that maybe
Spending 10 to 15 dollars to try something out sure
and if it works for you, that's great
And if it doesn't well, oh well
and I will say it does work for me
that doesn't mean it's gonna work for anyone else and
Just so you know, this video is not at all sponsored not in any way shape or form
So these are my actual like legitimate I paid for this thoughts
not somebody's paying me to tell you some shit
So you'll buy some shit
Let me know if you use anti blue light glasses
and what you think about them and the comments down below
and if you liked this video, click the like button
and subscribe to my channel. I make a new video every Tuesday and Friday
Thank you guys so much for watching
MWAH!
oh my god trying to put these on with a hat on it's not easy
this is this is a
challenge

Philadelphia Eagles should just let Nick Foles hit the open market - Duration: 7:20.
Even a Super Bowl MVP award can't buy freedom. For Nick Foles, the early days of this crucial offseason serve as a reminder that immortality has its limits
Foles might be depicted outside Lincoln Financial Field in statue form, but the Philadelphia Eagles are treating him like just another player
As the window to place the franchise tag on Foles opens Tuesday, it's worth examining options for the Eagles, and whether Foles should stop helping an organization that isn't interested in paying him fair value
The Eagles announced that sentimentality was off the menu when they picked up the option in Foles' contract shortly after the season
They could have simply said thanks for delivering the team its first Super Bowl title and then helping to save a depressing championship defense with three straight regular-season wins before a playoff victory at Chicago last month
Instead, the team required Foles fork up $2 million in order to theoretically become a free agent
The Eagles now have the option to use the franchise tag on Foles and then attempt to trade him, but the entire situation is strange at best and against league rules at worst
The Miami Dolphins used the franchise tag on wide receiver Jarvis Landry last offseason one day before trading him to the Browns, although a similar tactic could be contested by Foles' agent this time around
As Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk pointed out earlier this month, Article 4, Section 8, subsection (b) of the Collective Bargaining Agreement states that "A Club extending a Required Tender must, for so long as that Tender is extended, have a good faith intention to employ the player receiving the Tender at the Tender compensation level during the upcoming season
" It didn't come up as an issue last year because Landry, the Dolphins and the Browns were all happy with the arrangement
But Foles shouldn't be. The Eagles have no intention of keeping Foles on the books at $25 million, which is roughly what the franchise tag costs
By trading him on the tag, they would potentially be limiting his market. The obvious retort: It's just business
That was true when the Eagles asked Foles to pay back money and it's also just business if Foles refuses to talk long-term contract with any interested team unless he's a free agent
Foles can essentially kill his own trade market and the Eagles will run out of time to deal him
LATEST ANALYSIS ▶ 3 moves to make: NFC South | AFC South ▶ Top 10 RBs worth pursuing | QBs ▶ Ranking best of best in sports ▶ Cards should draft Murray ▶ Top franchise tag candidates The two sides have been building to this standoff for a while
As far back as early January, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Foles was "expected to have a quality trade market" and "the Eagles should be able to cash in on Foles' success
" (As if they haven't already.) The first sign that Foles may not be on board with this plan came after the team picked up his option
Less than an hour after that happened, Foles informed the team he'd buy back his freedom
The Eagles would have loved if Foles delayed that choice, making him easier to trade
Instead, they will have to theoretically place the tag on him by March 5 and work out a trade with a QB-needy team like the Jacksonville Jaguars
Even if Foles' side doesn't challenge the legality of trading him on the tag, there are other inherent problems to trying the maneuver
As mentioned above, he would be due roughly $25 million guaranteed if given the tag and could sign the contract immediately, putting the Eagles in a financial bind
General manager Howie Roseman has a surplus of roster issues to answer this offseason with free agents like Ronald Darby, Jordan Hicks, Brandon Graham and Golden Tate, not to mention questions surrounding the futures of Eagles like Jason Peters and Nelson Agholor
It's a roster in transition, and Philly can't be nearly as flexible in fixing its problems until Foles' future is decided
Getting a draft pick in exchange for Foles would be great, although the Eagles are likely to pick up a 2020 compensatory pick anyhow if he leaves via free agency
This entire game of chicken might simply be an effort to keep Foles from signing with an NFC East rival
There was a report that Foles would be interested in joining the New York Giants, where a scheme fit with coach Pat Shurmur makes some sense
The Washington Redskins could be another interested party after The MMQB reported they were "in on" talks to acquire Joe Flacco
Examining the market for Foles, there aren't that many potential landing spots. The Eagles understandably would prefer Foles land in Jacksonville, rather than in the division, and there could be "mutual interest" between Foles and the Jaguars, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo
But the Eagles have one surefire way to prevent facing Foles twice a year: Pay him what he's worth
If Roseman and Co. can't handle that, they need to saddle up and accept that they might have to beat him
Foles has already changed the lives of every single person working for the Eagles
At this point, he doesn't owe them anything, much less being a good solider by making a trade go down smoother when it could harm the biggest pay day of his career
Foles' loyalty should start with himself and to his next team, because the Eagles have already decided they don't want him
Playing hardball through an appeal or through contract talks are the only options Foles has left if the Eagles use the tag
The team could wind up looking petty and not getting anything for it as a result, because Foles is in a better position to get what he wants
It would be a shame for Foles' epic second tenure in Philadelphia to end with such drama
But it doesn't have to be that way. The Eagles can still make the right move by showing their love and appreciation for Foles in the most meaningful way possible
They can set him free. Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

THIS CRAZY SOCIALIST THINKS HE CAN BEAT TRUMP IN 2020 - Duration: 5:24.
THIS CRAZY SOCIALIST THINKS HE CAN BEAT TRUMP IN 2020
It's almost guaranteed that Trump is going to win in 2020.
That's the general sentiment among many Americans.
Some are encouraged by this fact and others are horrified at the prospect.
The truth is there's no one in the Republican Party who's going to be able to mount an
attack against him… and the Democrats are so incredibly divided it's unlikely to think
they're going to be able to oppose him effectively.
And yet, that's not stopping crazy old Bernie Sanders from putting together an exploratory
committee to see if he can't beat Trump in 2020.
Even crazier?
He actually thinks he can win!
Sanders Is Going to Run Against Trump Bernie Sanders would have won the Democratic
primary back in 2016 if the corrupt Democrat machine hadn't opposed him and pulled all
kinds of dirty tricks to prevent him from receiving the nomination.
And now that Hillary is out of the way Sanders believes he has a chance to ascend to the
top of the part and give Trump a run for his money.
The scary thing is how many people actually do support Bernie.
Sanders is believed to have already recorded a video announcing his bid for office.
And yet, those who are close to Sanders are denying the Senator from Vermont is going
to attempt a run.
Many theorize that Sanders will undoubtedly run.
His success in 2016 was due in part to a huge grassroots movement that surprised the elite
Democrats.
He had millions of supporters that helped him win in some key states including wins
in New Hampshire, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
Plus, Sanders has a number of popular policies to run on.
Policies like "Medicare for all" and a $15 minimum wage are becoming increasingly
popular across the U.S. as corrupt medical institutions bilk Americans for billions and
the cost of some basic human services continue to rise.
And the final clue he'll run is that on Friday the 15th, Our Revolution, which is
an organization founded by Sanders shortly after his 2016 run at the nomination announced
that it was launching the second phase of its effort to draft the Vermont independent
into the 2020 race.
In an email to supporters, David Duhalde, the group's political director, said that
that phase would include "launching direct outreach programs for phone banking, texting,
and door knocking," as well as "Coordinating one-on-one trainings with group leaders and
volunteers."

ABOUT WHO THEY SERVE AND
WH
AT IMPACTS DO WE
HAVE WITH PEOPLE ON-- WITH
DISABILITIES. PEOPLE THAT
ARE NOT SERVED CURRENTLY BY
THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES OR DRS.
AND HOW WE GOT TO THAT IS
THERE ARE
ABOUT 480;000 PEOPLE WORKING IN THE STATE
OF MINNESOTA WITH A
DISABILITY. ABOUT TEN
THOUSAND RECEIVE EMPLOYMENT
SERVICES. 17;000 RECEIVE
SERVICES FROM DTRS.

STATE SPENDS ABOUT 2 POINT
$2.5 BILLION A YEAR ON
SERVICES FOR PEOPLE WITH

MILLION ON UNEMPLOYMENT.
THEY ARE A BETTER CALL

MILLION OF THOSE. MANY OF
YOU HAVE THEM
IN YOUR BASEMENT. THE
GOOD NEWS IS THAT THEY LAST FOR EVER; THE
BAD NEWS IS THAT THEY LAST
FOR EVER. WE HAVE A
CONTRACT FOR ABOUT 2.1 MILLION
BETWEEN

FISCAL YEAR. WE SELL
ABOUT 7
MILLION OF THESE PRODUCTS TO
PEOPLE LIKE FEDEX.
WE'RE PENDING A NUMBER OF THE --

DIRECTOR OF EMPLOYMENT
SERVICES. I HAVE SPENT MY
ENTIRE CAREER SUPPORTING

MODEL MAKES SENSE.
MY TEAM OF 11 PEOPLE IS
PRIMARY REASON WHY THAT IS
SUCCESSFUL. WE CAN
SUPPORT OUR EMPLOYEES. ALSO OTHER
MEMBERS OF OUR EMPLOYMENT
TEAM. THAT MIGHT HAVE OTHER
BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT AND
WE
HELP THEM BE SUCCESSFUL.
OUR
SERVICES ARE BASIC THAT
HAPPEN IN OTHER ENVIRONMENTS
BUT WE DO IT DO CAPACITY.
THE SERVICES ARE INDIVIDUAL
LIED TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
HELPING EMPLOYEES STAY
ENGAGED IN THEIR WORK AND
MOTIVATED TO WORK TO THEIR
CAPABILITIES. ACCOMMODATIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS SUCH AS MORE
FREQUENT BREAKS FOR SOME
PEOPLE. MODIFIED
SCHEDULE AND USING A STOOL. ONE OF
THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS
THAT WE DO AT MDI IS THE
DEVELOPMENT OF EMPLOYEES.
THIS INCLUDES WORKING AT
MDI. IT MAY MEAN MOVING -- TO
ANOTHER JOB OUTSIDE OF ONE
OF OUR PLANTS. MDI WILL ASSIST
ALL EMPLOYEES TO BUILD THEIR
SKILLS AND ADVANCE

ASSESSMENT OF PHARMACEUTICAL
DRUGS. AFTER WORKING FOR SO
MANY YEARS IN 2012 I
WAS LAID
OFF. BECAUSE OF THE
SITUATION AT THE TIME. BUT
I WELCOME THAT
SITUATION BECAUSE MY WIFE WAS A NURSE
FOR MANY YEARS WANT TODAY
START OUR OWN BUSINESS. AND
WHEN WE STARTED THE BUSINESS
IN 2012 THERE WAS -- WE
DIDN'T HAVE ANY ACCESS TO
LOANS. THE BANK WASN'T
WILLING TO GIVE US A LOAN.
I
HAD TO GO TO MY 401K AND
WITHDRAWAL EVERYTHING THAT I
HAD WITH PENALTY. WE ARE
GLAD THAT WE ARE WERE
ABLE TO DO THAT BUT THERE ARE MANY
INDIVIDUALS
WHO DON'T HAVE THAT. SINCE WE STARTED THE
BUSINESS -- THEY STARTED OUR
-- IN 2008 I WATCHED IT
GROW. WHEN WE STARTED IN 2012 OUR
BUSINESS OF COURSE
(INAUDIBLE) LOAN BUT WE'RE
PRIVILEGED TO BE COACHED BY
THEM. GETTING TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE. FOR MANY YEARS
I
THOUGHT THAT I GOT
EVERYTHING THAT IT TAKES TO RUN A
BUSINESS. I WAS PRIVILEGED
TO HAVE (INAUDIBLE) ON OUR
SIDE. THEY SUPPORTED US
WITH MARKETING MATERIALS.
PROVIDING US WITH -- I VALUE
THEIR SERVICE TO AFRICAN
IMMIGRANTS WHO ARE NOT ONLY
TRYING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

BUSINESSES THAT IMMIGRANTS ENVISION TO START. IN
SOME CASES THEY WERE ABLE TO
SUPPORT FINANCIALLY AND IN
SOME CASES BECAUSE OF LACK
OF

THINK INVESTING IN THIS --
IS
VERY PRODUCTIVE AND THE ONE
POSITIVE
THING BECAUSE UNDERSTAND THEY COME
OUT OF THIS -- HOW THEY
PROVIDE THESE SERVICES. AND AS I
CLOSE I -- THEY HAVE COME A
LONG WAYS. I HOPE THAT YOU
WOULD SECURE THIS FUND.

EVERYTHING We Know About Fortnite Season 8! (Season 8 Map + Battle Pass Leaks) - Duration: 10:21.
Hey what is going on guys, in this video today we're gonna be going over the most important
known information about Fortnite season 8.
I made a video like this about 3 months ago called "Everything we know about season 7",
and you guys seemed to really enjoy it.
Plus it was super fun to make, and also check after the fact what ended up being right and
what ended up being wrong.
And, believe it or not, by the time I upload this video, Fortnite season 8 will only be
a little over a week away.
Season 8 is set to end Wednesday February 27th and therefore, Season 8 should begin
on Thursday February 28th.
However, once or twice in the past, Fortnite has changed the beginning date of a season
right before it was set to start.
But, they actually made this season 2 weeks longer due to their Winter Holiday break,
so I doubt they'll do it again.
So, without further ado, let's get right into it.
Alright, so like I said in the everything we know about season 7 video, anytime you
discuss a new season you need to start with the potential theme.
One of the most exciting things about season 8 in my opinion, is the fact that it's the
first season in a while where there's a real mystery about the theme.
Season 7 was scheduled to run from the beginning of December to the middle of February, so
everybody thought it was gonna have a winter/christmas/holiday theme, and that's pretty much exactly what
happened.
Season 6 started right at about the beginning of fall and only a few weeks before Halloween,
so again, most people correctly guessed some kind of a fall/halloween/scary theme.
It was pretty much the same thing with season 5 and it's clear ties to summer.
So, I think it's fair to say that season 8 is the first new season since season 4, where
people aren't just totally 100% confident in any of their theories about the theme.
But, that doesn't mean that there still aren't some really good guesses that do make a lot
of sense due to various in-game or leaked information.
I would say that the most common guess for the theme of season 8 at this current moment
is some kind of aquatic/underwater theme.
I would say that this is also the best guess, because there's actually a solid amount of
evidence that points towards it.
First off, ice was obviously one of the biggest parts of season 7 in general.
There are tons of ice themed cosmetics from the battle pass, the tier 100 skin is literally
called "the ice king", and a solid quarter of the map is currently covered in ice and
snow.
But, another somewhat odd thing that we've seen in season 7, are multiple references
to things that would make ice melt.
Tier 62 of the free battle pass gives a spray called "melting snowman", and tier 62 of the
bought battle pass gives an emblem that is simply a picture of the sun.
For a totally winter based season, that definitely feels a bit out of place and kinda like a
hint.
Plus stage 4 of the prisoner skin is literally a guy on fire that looks like he's melting.
And, if that isn't enough to convince you, keep in mind that season 8 is currently scheduled
to run from pretty much the beginning of March to around the middle of May.
So, since that's throughout the majority of spring, melting ice actually makes a lot of
sense.
And, as previous season have showed us, Fortnite loves to tie their seasonal themes into the
real life seasons.
So, what happens when you combine fire/melting with ice covering about 25% of the Fortnite
map, obviously you're gonna get a ton of water.
And that's basically the guiding reason why an acquatic/underwater theme makes a lot of
sense.
There are also a few battle pass unlocks that seem to be teasing this theme as well.
Tier 48 unlocks a spray called "porthole", which shows what appears to be a bunch of
underwater fish seen through a submarine window, and tier 84 unlocks an emblem which is simply
a picture of an octopus.
Plus, in the past we've gotten a fair share of acquatic based skins and other matching
cosmetics.
This includes the scuba diver skins, chomp sr., and most recently fishstick.
So, I think it honestly does make a lot of sense, it has a solid amount of evidence/hints
backing it up, and it does kinda tie in with the season of spring as well.
However, as I mentioned earlier, even though this is the theme that so far people are most
confident in, nobody can really be sure.
And some alternate themes that have at least decent evidence backing them include: a fire
theme, a natural disaster theme, and a dragon/medieval theme.
As we talk more about other season 8 information and leaks in this video, you'll probably see
where the idea behind those other themes are coming from.
So, one of the biggest mysteries regarding the lead-up to season 8, are the earthquakes
which are currently occurring a few times a day in Fortnite.
Leakers have already used the in-game files to create an expected schedule of times for
the all future earthquakes.
And, so far through about 5 days, it's been totally accurate.
If it continues to be accurate, that means that we're going to be getting 1-3 earthquakes
every day pretty much right until the beginning of season 8.
As of now, the last earthquake is scheduled for 3:18 PM EST on February 27th.
So, I think it's apparent that these earthquakes are surely going to play some role in the
beginning of season 8.
There's already been about 10 earthquakes at the time I'm doing this video, and I'll
put an image on the screen right now so you can see the locations.
So far there isn't really much of a pattern other than the fact that they sort of seem
to be grouping together, and almost all of them seem to be occurring on the upper right
hand corner of the map.
I've actually heard some pretty plausible theories regarding how the earthquakes would
play-into an acquatic theme.
The first one, is that once the entire snow/ice biome on the map is melted, a major earthquake
will occur and create a tsunami that will flood the rest of the map.
And, if you guys paid attention is science class, you would know that earthquakes are
the most common cause of the biggest tsunamis.
The other common theory is that the earthquakes will basically create a bunch of massive cracks
in the map, which will then be filled with water from the melted ice and create some
new acquatic themed points of interest.
Another interesting thing discovered in the files from update 7.40 that could tie into
the earthquakes, is this future image of wailing woods.
As you can see it looks pretty dramatically different than the current wailing woods,
almost as if all the trees are dying or have been burned.
Plus, most of the earthquakes that we've seen so far have taken place very near this area.
So, it'll be interesting to see if those things are related at all.
Another major leaked event that according to the files, appears to be set for season
8, is called the "cracken" event.
Now, what's interesting about the name "cracken" is that it most likely means 1 of 2 things.
The first theory is that cracken refers to the legendary giant squid-like monster that
hopefully you guys know what I'm talking about.
That would actually make a ton of sense if the theme for the season does end up being
acquatic.
But, if you look at the file names, you'll notice that it's spelled c-r-a-c-k-e-n, when
the squid monster version of the word is spelled k-r-a-k-e-n.
So, thats leading a lot people to believe that cracken in this context is simply referring
to some kind of a major crack on the map, likely from one of the earthquakes.
And if you noticed, the first file name in the event folder is named cracken_city.
This ties into what is probably the most popular theory regarding the cracken event, and that
is that it's going to effect and possibly even fully destroy Tilted Towers.
This is mainly due to some other smaller leaks discovered in the most recent update including
files named "Debris_Grow" "Debris_SplitBurst" and a file in the same group which uses the
term "Collapse."
I personally don't believe that Fortnite would actually destroy tilted, but that's just something
else that could possibly end up being a really deal.
And if all the references to natural disasters with the earthquakes weren't enough for you,
another file from the same update seems to suggest that we may be getting a tornado as
part of the build-up event to season 8.
This is particularly interesting when you consider the week 11 loading screen which
was just added into the game a few days ago.
Ir shows the tier 4 prisoner skin basically creating what appears to be a fire tornado.
Could that be used to fight the ice king or melt the snow biome on the map?
It's definitely possible.
And the final piece of information/theory regarding season 8 that I want to discuss,
are the Fortnite dragon eggs.
If you guys didn't know, sometime around the beginning of season 7, players discovered
3 large dragon eggs that sounded as if they had heartbeats near the bottom of polar peak.
It was initially believed that the eggs would hatch for Chinese new year's but they stayed
in that same location for almost the entire duration of the season.
But, on the same day as update 7.40, it was discovered that the dragon eggs were gone.
That lead to two different theories.
First is that the eggs finally hatched, and the dragon's will be revealed and unleashed
as a part of the new season.
And the other theory is that since there's no cracked eggshells or any kind of debris
in the area where the eggs were, the prisoner stole them, and is going to use them for something
crazy.
I think that wraps up all of the most important known and leaked information regarding season
8 of Fortnite.
There's just so much mystery about the season as a whole which only makes me more hyped
for it.
So, be sure to go out there and complete 13 of the 20 overtime challenges which will get
you guys the season 8 battle pass for free.

Nelinku ubil smetákem, umírala v bolestech desítky minut. Od soudu odešel s podmínkou - Duration: 2:22.
Proč tak hrůzný čin soused udělal? „Mrzí mě, jak to dopadlo. Ale pořád na mě jen štěkal a třikrát mě rafnul za nohavici
I tentokrát, když jsem vybíral schránku. To mě už naštvalo. Vzal jsem smeták, který na chodbě byl, a psa s ním odstrčil
Zranění jsem si nevšiml. Na mě byl vždycky agresivní. Nevím proč," řekl. Těsně po incidentu však pro TV Prima mluvil jinak a záznam byl v síni přehrán
„Ten pes mě tady týral devět roků, tak mě to ani nemrzí," pronesl Okál. To, že by byl pejsek agresivní, u soudu vyvrátilo několik svědků
„Štěkal, to ano, ale přitom se dal bez problémů pohladit. Nikdy nikomu neublížil," shodli se sousedé
Zmocněncem poškozených byl advokát Robert Plicka (34). „Viděl jsem to v televizi
Pana Ševčíka mi bylo líto. Kdykoliv jsem s ním mluvil, plakal. Když jsem zjistil, že to policie hodlá kvalifikovat jen jako přestupek, nemohl jsem to tak nechat
Jsem spoluautorem novely trestního zákona, který má za cíl zpřísnit tresty pro pachatele trestných činů na zvířatech a kriminalizaci množíren," vyjádřil se
S trestem, který ještě ale není pravomocný, byl spokojený

Maurizio Sarri: When Chelsea will decide whether or not to sack manager - Duration: 3:09.
However, a decision will be taken over his long-term future shortly after the match and The Guardian claim it will be made by owner Roman Abramovich
Abramovich is yet to attend a single game this season and Marina Granovskaia has been left to oversee the running of the club
She is understood to be a close ally of Sarri but Abramovich could now step in after watching Chelsea's season spiral out of control
The Blues were thumped 6- by Manchester City in their last Premier League game as they slipped to sixth in the table
And their misery was compounded with a 2- defeat by Manchester United in the FA Cup, in which fans could be heard chanting 'you don't know what you're doing' and 'f**k Sarri-ball' at the under-pressure boss
Chelsea go into Thursday's clash with a slender 2-1 lead over the Swedish side and Sarri will almost certainly face the sack if they do not progress to the last 16
They then face the grueling prospect of Man City once more in Sunday's League Cup final where they will look to regain some pride at the very least
Sarri remained diplomatic after the United loss, insisting his side had not been as bad as the result suggested
"I think with the result we were unlucky because in the first half we played better than the opponent and at the end of the first half it was 2-," he said
"In the second half it was really very difficult to play. They are a very physical team and defended low and compact
" More worryingly for Chelsea fans, Sarri also admitted he was confused by the way his side played in the second half
"We played confusing football in the second half but in the first half we played well," he added
"We need to be more aggressive and determined with situations in our box and the opposition box because the difference was there
"We played 7 balls in the opposing box and United played only 16 in ours, but the result was 2-, so that was the difference
" Asked whether he still had the support of his struggling players, he continued: "I think so
"Of course I'm not sure, but I think so. I think the situation with the players is very good in terms of our relationship but that's not so important
"What's important is to play and get good results but my relationship with the players at the moment is good
"
