Americans say they have found a “hack” at Publix grocery store Instead of paying for bags of ice, they simple bring their own plastic bags and fill them up with ice out of the soda machine People like this are why companies are removing soda machines and putting QR codes on cups so you can only activate the machine based on the scan People like this ruin it for everyone

🚨 UNIVERSAL’S NEW SODA MACHINES SCAN YOUR CUP, TRACK EVERY REFILL — THEN CUT YOU OFF — AND PEOPLE ARE PISSED A guest walks up to refill their drink and the machine stops them cold. It scans the bottom of the cup. There’s a hidden tag sensor built in and the machine reads it instantly. Then displays: “Sorry, your cup is out of fills.” Same cup. Same day. But now the system decides you’re done. People are pointing out: • Every refill is digitally tracked through the cup • Built-in sensor tag on the bottom triggers the machine • Timers control when you’re allowed to pour again • “0 refills left” shows up instantly • You’re locked out… even holding a paid cup Standing in the heat… in a packed park… after already paying hundreds just to get in. And soda? Costs them pennies. But the machine still cuts you off. You pay that much to enter the park… and they’re tracking and limiting drinks that cost them pennies? Is that reasonable… or are they squeezing every dollar they can?

This is why all of the people you love are struggling to pay rent or feed themselves, and are staring down the barrel of being the end of their millennia-long ancestral bloodline, as they see no mathematical possibility of being able to raise a single child, let alone the 8+ this woman will have as we are paying for all of it. If you wake up every day enraged at this system, it's because you are awake and paying attention. It has been constructed with the express purpose of sucking your life-force dry, exterminating your people, and humiliating you while doing it. And I'm sorry to break it to you...but we are not going to vote our way out of a system this rotten to its core.

You and your family enjoy the day at the aquarium and you are on your way out. The parking garage’s electronic gate was malfunctioning, no matter how you pay and it shows you paid, the arm wouldn’t raise to allow people people to leave. An attendant showed up and said they were working on it. After what felt like an eternity, a man walked up to the machine and held it up for people to leave while the attendant was visibly angry and was calling the police because the man was helping people leave without paying, should the man be arrested for helping people leave without paying or was it the attendant’s fault for not fixing the issue?

Iranian streets are filling up for the 4th day as freedom-loving people around the world celebrate a New Year. I’m asking you to take a few minutes today and pray for the people of Iran. If you see footage of them in the streets, do your best to confirm it and share it. People have a hard time believing things without seeing evidence. The current regime will do everything it can to prevent brave voices from being seen and heard. This is why it’s crucial for those of you who are willing — to share what you can, whenever you can.

See that red tape line on the floor? You better not cross it before they tell you “GO!” or you’ll not only get yelled at, you’ll make about 100 people instantly dislike you. My first experience at the Goodwill bins… this operation is so much crazier than I was expecting. This sweet woman spotted me sticking out like a sore thumb. “You a first timer?” She proceeded to give me the rundown: “The college kid resellers are aggressive. See those bins along that wall? Be careful if you go there. They’ll snatch things right out of your hands.” “Every 30-45 minutes they swap out the bins. You have to stay behind the tape line.” “Don’t bring your cart on the floor. Go to the register and get a piece of paper to tape your name on the cart and leave it along the wall.” I have never seen anything like it. And of course, I snuck by the warehouse doors to peek inside what’s happening behind the scenes. Massive pallet racking FULL of clothes bales. I’m talking hundreds of thousands of pieces. Conveyer belt sorting systems with everything you can imagine. Pallets of bicycles. Filthy vacuums. And rolling bins. A bazillion rolling bins full of who knows what, but apparently some treasure. Before you get triggered by “people making money off donations that are ‘supposed’ to support people who are impoverished,” I invite you to go see an operation like this. The amount of excess materialism is astounding, and this is a microscopic fraction of it. Resellers duking it out over labels and prized goods all day everyday at places like this are playing an extremely important role in a circular economy that is making a difference in the appalling about of waste we have created as a society. You won’t find me doing this to source inventory, but of course I snagged a small stack of books because who would I be if I didn’t 😜 And I have a lot of respect for the number of young adults I saw hustling their way through this chaos, leaving with garbage bags full of items that are putting food on their tables. Wild.

Although the U.S. had presence across Afghanistan, it was/is only #PANJSHIR that paid/paying the price for aligning with AMERICA. The Biden administration betrayed America’s allies, but there is still a chance for Mr. Donald J. Trump to make things right. Don’t leave Panjshir and Afghanistan alone in the fight against global terrorism. We will fight to the death , with or without your support. But remember: if we are completely defeated, this camel will come to your doorstep too. Video Subtitle: "People of Panjshir; You are a good people, but if you stand up to us and resist, we will kill you. It doesn't matter if you become a genocidal." A Taliban member

There’s truth to this. I was in the food service for 20+ years and there’s actually a reason why this is done. We would hand out clear cups to whites so we could tell if they were actually getting water VS a soda they didn’t pay for. Whites are privileged and we refused to let them take advantage of that. We handed out red cups to the blacks because we knew they were poor and needed to steal to enjoy finer things in life. The red would hide the bubbles in a sprite or similar soda. Unfortunately we didn’t accept EBT so this was our way of saying ‘we are sorry.’ ‘You don’t have to steal here. Take a break from stealing. We know it can be exhausting.’ Just doing our part. 🫡 Hope this helps!

Apparently, I saw this video online and I decided to share. What this worker is applying is called bitumen, or what many of us know as bituminous coating. Most people think a wall is a solid, impenetrable block, but in reality, it is more like a sponge. Concrete and blocks have microscopic pores that pull water from the earth through a process we call capillary action. This thick black substance is the shield that stops that water from climbing up into the house. It is not about making the wall look good because this part will be buried under the dirt forever. It is about creating a skin that water cannot breathe through. When do you need to do this? The need for this arises because the soil is a very aggressive environment. Water is not your only enemy.. The ground also contains salts and sulfates that want to eat away at the cement. If this moisture finds its way to the steel bars inside the columns, those bars will start to rust. And when steel rusts, it expands, and that expansion is what cracks the concrete from the inside out. This coating is the only thing standing between your foundation and that kind of slow destruction. Thats is why if you see wet patches at the bottom of your walls inside your house, it usually means someone skipped this step or did it poorly during construction. You can apply this anytime you are building parts of a structure that will stay in contact with the ground. It is common in areas where the water table is high or where the soil stays damp for most of the year. This is a one-shot opportunity. Once you backfill the soil, you can never go back to fix it without a lot of expense and a lot of digging. It is about having the foresight to protect the heart of the building while it is still exposed. Please don’t ignore this if you need to. If you ignore it now to save a bit of money, you will be funding the future decay of your own home. I hope this helps.

I have a tendency when lifting to keep adding weight without paying much attention. I don’t use this machine often. Set done. I calculated the weight and thought, “320? That can’t be right.” Then I checked the plate on the machine: starting weight 118 lb (53 kg). That would make it 438 lb total. This machine must be easier to push. What do you guys think? 🤔

Morning is the most common time for people to have a #heartattack. When you wake up, the #stress hormone cortisol is at its peak. Get out of bed slowly, #stretch, & drink a glass of #water. Dehydration makes it easier for blood clots to form.

This is happening at Panama City Beach in Florida. Panama City Beach flags are out warning people to not enter the water because of hazardous conditions. Anyone caught in the water will receive a $500 fine. 😳 You can only walk on dry sand. Someone said they got a fine because the water went far enough up to get their camp wet. Some have stated “how are they going to tell me that I can’t go in the water?” 🤯 But many people said they need to follow the rules to keep everyone, including lifeguards and rescue personnel safe. I am for the fines. People need to stay out if the water and away from it during these conditions. Too many people’s lives being put at risk. 💯 What do you think? Do you think it is an overreach to levy fines against people going in the water or do you think it is justified to keep everyone safe?

This is what “rich” looks like I wake up everyday feeling like I hit the lotto. Not when I’m up on a trade or when I drive one of my cars, but in quiet moments like this. Just a few years ago, I was facing prison time. Broke. Delivering food on DoorDash to scrape together a few hundred bucks to fund my trading account. We shared a one-bedroom apartment with $500 to our name after bills. The journey from there to here wasn’t overnight. It wasn’t glamorous. It was a grind that broke me down before it built me up…but it made me the man I am today. Yes, I have the cars and watches now that people associate with success. But I can tell you with absolute certainty…they don’t compare to this. Building a life with someone who believed in you when nobody else did and winning the game of life Trading changed my financial situation, but gratitude changed my life. If you’re reading this and still in the grind, just keep pushing. I know it may seem like it will never work, but it will. You have to believe that. You have to be thankful for every little thing because without the bad there is no good. Without the bad you become weak. The most important thing is to remember what you’re working towards and make sure there is real meaning behind it. There’s nothing wrong with cars or a lavish lifestyle… But the only way you’ll have the hunger to get it and sustain it long term… Is by having a higher purpose that you constantly remind yourself of.

This wallet did not exist yesterday. At 3 AM, I could not sleep. I was scrolling through the leaderboard and stumbled upon an anomaly that made me rub my eyes. It started with $213. That is the price of dinner for two. One day later, it had $54,871 on its balance. In just 36 hours, it earned enough to buy a car. I clicked on the transaction history, expecting to see a lucky all-in on some piece of news. Instead, I saw a machine gun burst. > 869 positions in a day and a half. > One trade every 2.5 minutes. > No breaks for sleep, food, or the bathroom. At 4:30 AM, while you were deep in your tenth dream, this address closed a $1,899 profit. That was when I realized I was not looking at a human. I was looking at a predator. This bot hunts on 15-minute BTC and ETH markets. Where most people see a casino and flip a coin on up or down, it sees flaws in your thinking. Here is how it works: > When Bitcoin drops 0.5%, the crowd panics. > The price of NO skyrockets to 75 cents. You sell out of fear. > But the bot knows the math. After such a drop, the actual probability of the trend continuing is only around 52%, not 75%. It buys your fear for 25 cents, when it is actually worth 45. It does not need to know the future. It just needs to buy dollars for 50 cents. But you know what scared me the most? There is a single trade in its history with a $3,213 loss. A normal person would freeze. Light a cigarette. Start doubting. This wallet opened its next position 54 seconds later. It has no ego. No tilt. No I need to win it back. Only an algorithm: if the probability is 55%, and the market pays as if it is 40%, press the button. This is the new form of mining. In 2017, you bought GPUs. In 2026, you write code that mines liquidity from other people’s emotions. Before you rush to search for scripts on GitHub, stop. The $213 starting point is an illusion. Behind it are servers next to the exchange, 50-millisecond latency, and a team of engineers. You will not beat them manually. You are not a player at this table. You are the food. While you were reading this post, it made another $50. Just watch.

The importance of pointing the AirFanta Wear personal air purifier accurately. You need to point the center of the Wear's airflow at your breathing zone. Otherwise you won't get any benefit from the device. This is just a visualization using the mist from an ultrasonic nebulizer to stand in for unfiltered ambient air. In the demonstration the air is not completely still due to the output of the nebulizer. But the air flow may be similar to cross currents that might be found in indoor settings. AirFanta has shown a number of different ways to position the Wear, but hasn't given exact numbers for distance as far as I know. I'm using a distance of 2 inches or less as a rule of thumb, with the center of the device pointed at my breathing zone. The 3/4 position feels like it's one that people may be the most interested in because it can let you eat while at the same time maintaining a close proximity to the output. The Wear is not meant as a one-to-one replacement for a respirator grade mask. It's best for situations where you were not going to be wearing a mask at all, but would still like to breathe cleaner air. Avoid risk compensation, which is where you take on more risk because you think you are more protected than you actually are. For instance, visiting a nephew sick with measles without an N95 mask because you think the Wear will give you equal protection. Maintaining the correct distance and orientation between the Wear and your breathing zone requires conscious effort. The Wear can reduce your overall exposure to airborne contaminants, but it needs to be used very close to breathing zone and needs to be very accurately centered.

The importance of pointing the AirFanta Wear personal air purifier accurately. You need to point the center of the Wear's airflow at your breathing zone. Otherwise you won't get any benefit from the device. This is just a visualization using the mist from an ultrasonic nebulizer to stand in for unfiltered ambient air. In the demonstration the air is not completely still due to the output of the nebulizer. But the air flow may be similar to cross currents that might be found in indoor settings. AirFanta has shown a number of different ways to position the Wear, but hasn't given exact numbers for distance as far as I know. I'm using a distance of 2 inches or less as a rule of thumb, with the center of the device pointed at my breathing zone. The 3/4 position feels like it's one that people may be the most interested in because it can let you eat while at the same time maintaining a close proximity to the output.

The IRS is giving you a 100% write-off for buying Bitcoin miners? Under current tax law, Bitcoin mining hardware qualifies for 100% bonus depreciation. That means if you are a business owner or investor, you can write off the entire cost of your miners this year. Keep in mind, it is for the year they are placed in service. So if you are planning to capture a deduction on your April 2027 tax bill, your miners need to be hashing prior to December 31, 2026. If you have capital gains, passive income, or just a big tax bill, this is one of the most sophisticated ways to achieve a write-off and achieve Bitcoin exposure. If you are serious about building wealth and reducing your tax burden, this is the move.

You probably think you need to do more cardio. Longer workouts. More miles. More suffering. But what if you just made the walk you're already taking a little more challenging? I've been a big fan of weighted vests for years because they're simple. You put one on, go for a walk, and suddenly your body has to do more work without you spending any more time exercising. The data is pretty impressive and one of the biggest mistakes I see people make is thinking health has to be extreme to be effective. Most of the time, the answer is taking something you're already doing and making it a little better. A weighted vest is a great example of that. Just walk.
