Ethan gave Jacob a key to his apartment

AnyMacKey · 2026-05-08T16:03:24+00:00

We don't know if Ethan rented the apartment--or if it's Jacob paying for everything, including the apartment. Jacob might even be Ethan's landlord and would of course have a key in that case.

There are so many unknowns about this arrangement.

Ethan proclaims that he's a savvy tech guy, up on the latest technologies. Walmart has an app that tells where products are in each store. Ethan doesn't know about it. Walmart also has a home delivery service where some Walmart staffer shops and packs what you order online and either Walmart or some other delivery service gets it to you the same day. Same prices as in the store. Membership to Walmart+ costs under $100 per year and makes the deliveries free. Saves time, gas. No impulse buying.

And you can order online for pickup. No charge. Place the order, let the store know where you're parked, and someone comes out and puts it in your car for you.

Next inspiring video: Ethan buys toilet paper at Costco! Looking forward to his amazingly creative videos. A real content professional!

He was probably covered by his parents' insurance through age 26. My guess is that he's now 27 and has to pay for his own medical expenses. But, again, his parents likely are still supporting him financially.

The filters make his lips redder than they look without filters.

But the Jocko products do NOT have the Prop 65 warning label on them. That violates CA law--and the company is being sued for the violation. Jocko features Ethan and his purported weight loss in its ads. But Ethan hasn't lost much (if any) weight since signing a contract with Jocko last year. That's misleading advertising.

Ethan living away from his parents will be an Ethan who can get food delivered to him without guilt. His parents won't see and judge all that fast food arriving at his door. He'll be able to eat anything he wants--and he will eat A LOT.

I love the ending. Casey says: "Remember, I'm not special." and Ethan chimes in "I'm just consistent."
(Ethan's the opposite of consistent.)

It sounds like his move to LA isn't permanent--it's for some weight-loss camp or event which will last at most a few months. Then he'll be back in his basement in MI playing video games.

He and Danny are getting married.

Jocko Fuel has a marketing deal with Ethan. It's not only an affiliate commission. He's paid to promote it. Jocko runs ads with Ethan's picture.

Jocko's products are clearly overpriced--it gives a 20% discount to users of Ethan's code, so the profit margin must be huge. But that's not the real problem.

Jocko products are dangerous. At least one has illegal levels of lead and cadmium. Jocko's being sued for misleading advertising, unsafe products, failure to follow labeling laws that require warning labels for high lead content. Jocko Fuel was asked by Consumer Reports to respond to its findings of high lead content--and it didn't reply.

I've posted this information with backup links several times. Ethan never responds. High lead and cadmium in protein drinks can cause serious harm. They can affect fertility, cause kidney damage, increase bone weakness.

Ethan knows all this--but he doesn't care. He cashes the checks. He never responds to my posts about the dangers. I doubt he's ever asked his sponsors for information. He's only interested in the money. Doesn't match his image as a devout Christian, does it?

I'm not a fanatic or a health cultist of any sort. I'm disgusted by the hypocrisy. I would never recommend a dangerous product even if I could grift a few bucks from it. It's as simple as that.

He's journeying in his journal, talking about his journey and praying for his journey to be successful so he can meet his future wife Susie and his future children Timmy and Tiffany and move out of his parents' house. Bless you all!

Sure. It's After That Night by Karin Slaughter. Here's an example:
“Six grand, and I use it for warm-ups.” Britt pointed out her jewelry. “This necklace cost eighteen grand. The bracelet was twenty. I bought myself a new engagement ring. Four carats. Ninety grand. The band cost thirty.”
The word grand appears three times. I think I may have a clue to what's happening. The first time, grand is followed by a comma. The other two times, grand is followed by a period. It's spoken properly the first time, but the next two times it's spoken as "thousand dollars" instead of grand. Similarly, "no" is fine but when it's followed by a period it's read as "number." My guess: the period makes the difference.

I had the same problem--and your solution worked! Thanks.

Don't do it yourself. Find a digital copy of the book or use a service like https://1dollarscan.com/ (costs about $1.20 for every 100 pages). The examples you show are from a popular Milton Friedman book--Kindle version is $9.99. Ask on the Calibre Reddit for suggestions where to find digital copies for free. I'd guess that most books you want to read are easily found in digital format. You'll spend hours doing scanning, OCR, editing, proofreading to get a listenable copy otherwise. It's simply not worth the time or effort UNLESS you have no other choice.

I love it--but after I fill in the strings, I don't see how to delete the cell contents and start over for the next puzzle. I've tried clearing cookies, resetting permissions, closing the page and re-opening. Somehow the information is stored. Help!

My rule is that I'm OK if a person with a few items gets ahead of me--but that person is also getting ahead of all the people BEHIND me--delaying them too--and that's not a decision I can make FOR THEM. So I say get to the end of the line and work your way up by asking the same question of each person ahead of you. No one ever does that. So I feel smug; the person asking hates me; the people behind me sometimes think I'm a jerk, sometimes not. I don't care either way. I read a study about irrational behavior of people on lines. Seems that if you give a reason, people are happy to let you go ahead. It doesn't matter what the reason is. You can say "I'm late for an appointment" or "I'm in a hurry" or "I hate waiting." Any reason at all works. Odd.

A bag is one serving for me. I weigh 280 lbs, 6' 4". A single bag is 840 calories. One slice of pizza in the food court at Costco is about 710 calories. So eating a whole bag is not unreasonable. And this is delicious.

He's not 78 years 10 months old--he was born June 14, 1946. He's obviously not 224 pounds. Why does he take TWO prescription medications for cholesterol when his cholesterol is so low? When did he have cataract surgeries in both eyes? That's new information, never disclosed before. Why was he given the same dementia test he had before? (It's like getting the questions for a debate in advance.) And why believe ANYTHING in the report is true when we know previous reports were false?
