Michigan Woman Furious After Security Camera Captures Her Robot Lawn Mower Stolen
A Michigan woman was furious after discovering what happened to her robot lawn mower when she checked the security camera outside her home.The CCTV footage, recorded in Battle Creek, Michigan, shows the mower sitting near the roadside in the front yard.A pickup truck then pulls up and stops next to the property. A woman inside appears to hesitate for a moment, seemingly discussing something with the person driving the vehicle.She eventually gets out and walks toward the robot lawn mower.The woman tries to pick up the machine, but appears to struggle with its weight. She pauses for a moment before deciding to try again.This time, she manages to lift the mower and carries it back toward the pickup truck before leaving the scene with it.The footage was shared on Instagram by Sam Willbur, who said the robot lawn mower belonged to her husband and was worth around $700."These lovely folks decided to steal my husbands $700 robot lawn mower," Willbur wrote. "Do your thing internet, stealing from a 100% disabled veteran. What is wrong with people???"The post quickly attracted attention, with some viewers questioning why the mower had been left so close to the road.One commenter suggested the woman may have thought it was being given away, writing: "Don't leave ur stuff literally on the side of the road looks to me your throwing it away."Another person joked: "They thought you was giving it away."But the incident eventually had a happy ending.After the CCTV footage was posted on Instagram, the case was solved and the robot lawn mower was returned to its owners.The security camera captured the entire sequence — from the moment the pickup truck stopped outside the home to the woman's hesitation, her struggle to lift the mower and her eventual decision to take it.

Men Frustrated That Gen Z Women Expect Them to Pay for Dates
Figuring out who is responsible for getting the check on a first date can be difficult. Modern rules say the person who asked the other out on the date should be the one who pays, though tradition says the man is expected to pay. One Gen Z man, however, expressed his frustration on Reddit about this tradition and why other women his generation apparently expect him to take care of the bill. In response, many commenters gave him advice on what he should be doing instead.

Commenters give advice on who should pay on dates
One user on the r/GenZ Reddit asked why Gen Z woman supposedly expect him to pay for a first date. Assuming in good faith that the user is indeed a Gen Z man (and isn't just rage-baiting on the internet), he criticized "traditional gender roles" and was miffed that "whenever I date within my generation, the expectation is that I pay for everything for her like what???"

As you might expect, the user received plenty of responses. One of the most prominent pieces of advice they gave him is that he should make it clear from the start that he wants to go Dutch, even if it comes with the risk that he won't get the date in the first place. One wrote, "You can make it known you don't want to do traditional dating, but you'll weed out a lot of women."

Still, others are surprised that he couldn't find women to split the bill. A user responded, "What area are you in? For me in a blue state in the U.S., whenever I've gone on a date the woman's always assumed we'd split the check."

Another provided their perspective on the issue: "As a woman, I expect the person who asked the other one out to pay for the first date. Unfortunately, that's usually the man. I have asked men out and offered to pay, but they usually stop me."

A self-described millennial woman said she would "go Dutch when I can" but thought that seeing the guy pay is "a nice gesture" and shows that he is "willing to invest in her so to speak."

That said, one respondent said that this issue is not a Gen Z thing at all and that it is, in fact, quite the opposite: "In society, a gentleman would pay when inviting a lady for a date. If you want to split the cost, make it known upfront. Gen Z is more open to splitting costs than previous generations as Gen Z doesn't really seem to date in the traditional sense."

A separate user agreed that younger generations are more flexible on this front: "I've never paid full for a first date in my life lol, I feel like if anything Gen Z women are more open to splitting bills than previous gens."

What it took to finally build housing on some of the nation’s most in-demand land
SAN FRANCISCO - In one of the nation's most extraordinaril y housing-constrained cities, where demand keeps pushing rents and sales prices to dizzyingly higher levels, people are finally moving into new apartments and condominiums on a 576-acre patch of land the U.S. Navy abandoned nearly 30 years ago. These two small islands just off the coast of the city, Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island, represent a rare opportunity for San Francisco to add a significant amount of housing. But years of lawsuits, public opposition and competing idealistic values underscore why it's difficult to build in the city in the first place.

I took these photos when that land was still vacant:

Newly minted tech millionaires are now clamoring for financial advice
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — Managing newfound tech wealth is not without its challenges and key considerations for the founders and employees who have accrued it.

"I think what we're seeing across the board with wealth creation in particular is just the pace of this wealth creation has happened so quickly, and scale is just tremendous," Goldman Sachs partner and San Francisco region head of private wealth management Brittany Boals Moeller told Yahoo Finance at the firm's Communacopia & Tech conference (video above).

"We're seeing, as you might imagine, a huge uptick in inquiries from founders and executives of many AI companies, but also the researchers, the developers, the investors who are all facing these sort of life-changing decisions," Boals Moeller said. "And they need access to very quick, smart advice."

The relentless surge in tech valuations — powered by the AI boom — is fundamentally reshaping household wealth across the tech sector.

As companies are bought or go public, equity-heavy compensation packages are turning into life-changing windfalls for workers, many of whom have never experienced such wealth before, let alone all at once.

This dynamic reached a crescendo in 2026 during SpaceX's (SPCX) record-breaking June public debut, which reportedly minted more than 4,400 employee millionaires —ranging from software engineers and executives to hourly welders, technicians, and launch technicians.

"Charity is a huge focus of this group," Boals Moeller said. "And so we do a lot of work on the front end to help them identify what are those key missions that they want to support, and then craft a plan around that that's thoughtful around tax as well."

"For a lot of these clients, too, this is the first time that they've had this wealth, this ability to have this impact," she added. "And it's the first time they've ever potentially been part of a public company. And so, walking through what are the nuances of having a highly concentrated equity position, even the basics of a lockup, you know, 10b5-1 plans, blackout windows — how does that all work? There's a wide dispersion of outcomes that can occur. And so a lot of it is just thinking through scenario planning and helping them have the right information so that we can put their strategy in."

Far right wingers will be pissed if Hmong people ever have a their own town. They'll be like going Karen + Kevin paranoia mode and send Sheriffs to investigate Hmong activities.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Don't forget the incident in Eureka when the Hmong went in strike against the Sheriff department.
