\u27a2A guy in Medicine Hat, Alberta recently started something called\u00a0The 40 Hot Meal Project<\/a>, where businesses buy meals from restaurants and donate them to food banks.\u00a0 So it helps feed people AND keep restaurants open.\u00a0 He started it a month ago, and it’s already a hit. Businesses have already spent $44,000 and donated over 4,000 meals.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 There are arts and crafts and then there\u2019s this. A man in Brantford, Ontario, allegedly used diaper boxes to create fake license plates. Police posted about the man on Twitter, sharing photos of his homemade license plates. They say the 37-year-old faces several charges including driving without legal plates or a license as well as driving while suspended.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 There’s a guy named Stefan Thomas in San Francisco.\u00a0 And he has a digital wallet with 7,002 Bitcoin in it . . . which means it’s worth around $234 MILLION.<\/p>\n

But Stefan has a serious problem.\u00a0 The private keys he needed to unlock his account are on an encrypted hard drive.\u00a0 And Thomas LOST the password to that hard drive.<\/p>\n

You only get 10 guesses at the password before the hard drive permanently encrypts its contents and can’t be unlocked.\u00a0 And Stefan has already made eight wrong guesses.<\/p>\n

So he only has two more shots to figure out his password . . . or he’s out $234 MILLION forever.\u00a0 And since Bitcoin is decentralized, there’s no “get my lost keys” option.\u00a0 You either have them or you don’t and you’re out of luck.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 A huge nudist festival is set to go ahead despite concerns surrounding the coronavirus pandemic. For the past 5 years, more than 8,000 nude revelers have been gathering over the first weekend in February on the southern coast of Mexico. The Festival on the country\u2019s only legal nude beach. Despite the country having recorded more than 1.4 million cases of the deadly disease, with over 130,000 COVID-related deaths in the past year, the hotly-anticipated event is expected to go ahead as planned. Town officials have agreed the festival can proceed as long as the country\u2019s protocols are met.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 The record for the most expensive trading card EVER just got smashed.\u00a0 A 1952 Topps<\/p>\n

MICKEY MANTLE\u00a0<\/strong>card was purchased for $5.2 MILLION.<\/p>\n

The buyer was\u00a0Rob Gough<\/strong>, an actor and entrepreneur who owns the DOPE clothing and CBD line.<\/p>\n

The previous record was set in 2020, when somebody paid $3.93 million for an autographed 2009\u00a0MIKE TROUT\u00a0<\/strong>draft prospects card.<\/p>\n

(On a related note, a “Batman” #1 comic book from 1940\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>sold<\/em><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0for $2.2 million.\u00a0 That’s the most anyone’s ever paid for a Batman comic.)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

What Are the Products You’re Not Willing to Compromise On?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

There are plenty of times where it makes sense to save money on something instead of buying the expensive option.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And actually, according to a new survey, more than half of people say they sometimes go for a cheap or generic option when they’re buying something to save money.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But there are some cases where we’re NOT willing to compromise . . . and we’ll spend more money to get the better option.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The survey also found the most common products people aren’t willing to compromise on.\u00a0 Here are some of the most popular answers . . .<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Quality toilet paper . . . mattresses . . . coffee brands . . . wifi quality and speed . . . chocolate . . . shampoo . . . ketchup . . . cell phones . . . brands of potato chips . . . haircuts . . . paint colors . . . and restaurants.<\/p>\n
