Dishwasher Manufacturers: If you rinse off your dishes in the sink before loading them into the dishwasher, they come out less clean! This always gets me in trouble. I of course don’t rinse first, because it is a Dishwasher. Right? Rinsing plates before loading the dishwasher feels diligent. Appliance makers say it is the very reason your dishes come out dirty. Engineers at brands like Bosch and Whirlpool, alongside detergent makers like Cascade, have spent years advising consumers to stop pre-rinsing. Contemporary dishwashers rely on internal turbidity sensors—optical eyes that gauge water clarity during the early wash cycle. When pre-rinsed plates yield clean water, the machine misinterprets the load as lightly soiled, shortening cycle time and reducing water temperature. Furthermore, the enzymes in modern powdered and gel detergents require food starches and proteins to latch onto; without debris to activate them, the surfactants simply wash down the drain, occasionally leaving alkaline film etched into glassware. Oh there is more… Cookware care harbors equally stubborn folklore. For decades, home cooks warned that a single drop of liquid soap would ruin a cast-iron skillet's seasoning. Lodge, which has made cast-iron cookware in Tennessee since 1896, explicitly debunks this in its care manuals. The prohibition dates to the nineteenth century, when soaps were formulated with harsh lye (sodium hydroxide), a caustic alkali capable of stripping cured oil. Modern dish detergents contain mild surfactants that lift loose grease without breaking the polymerized oil cross-linked to the iron matrix. A gentle wash with liquid soap leaves true seasoning intact. A similar misconception surrounds kitchen waste disposers. Generations of homeowners were told that tossing eggshells or ice down the drain sharpens the disposal blades. InSinkErator, the inventor and largest maker of food waste disposers, notes that residential disposers do not contain blades at all. The central chamber houses blunt swiveling lugs on a spinning turntable. These lugs do not slice; centrifugal force hurls food against a stationary outer ring of shredder teeth to pulverize it into a slurry. Eggshells cannot sharpen a blunt lug, and their fibrous membrane often snags in plumbing traps. Even oven maintenance suffers from well-intended habits. Appliance makers including GE and Frigidaire warn against lining the floor of an electric or gas oven with aluminum foil. Modern ovens hide the heating element beneath an enamel floor. Foil traps and reflects radiant heat directly against the base, reaching temperatures high enough to melt the aluminum or permanently fuse it to the porcelain finish.

A groundbreaking treatment pairing auditory tones with mild electrical shocks rewires the brain to quiet chronic tinnitus. Chronic tinnitus, the agonizing perception of ringing in the ears without an external sound source, affects millions worldwide and has long eluded effective medical intervention. However, innovative research in neuroscience shows that bimodal neuromodulation—a technique combining audio tones with gentle electrical stimulation delivered directly to the tongue—can effectively quiet these phantom sounds. By stimulating touch receptors on the tongue while simultaneously playing targeted acoustic signals through headphones, the treatment leverages the brain's natural neuroplasticity. This dual-sensory approach encourages the central nervous system to reframe its sensory processing, essentially retraining the brain to ignore hyperactive auditory signals. In a landmark clinical study involving over 300 adults suffering from chronic subjective tinnitus, more than 86% of compliant participants experienced a significant reduction in symptom severity following 12 weeks of daily treatment. Remarkably, these therapeutic benefits persisted for up to 12 months post-treatment, representing a major leap forward in long-term tinnitus care. Described by patients as feeling like a mild fizzing sensation on the tongue, this non-invasive therapy offers a promising and safe alternative to traditional management strategies, bringing renewed hope to millions seeking lasting relief. source: Conlon, B., Langguth, B., Hamilton, C., Hughes, S., Meade, E., Connor, C.

claude code just reverse-engineered my hotel room's door lock in 90 seconds. the encryption is from 2014. the same protocol controls the smoke detector in the top right corner - that red light isn't a battery indicator. it blinked twice when i ran the scan. i'm lying in a $85/night hotel room right now. opened claude code and typed: "scan every bluetooth and wireless device in range. show me what's talking to what." it found 19 wireless devices. 18 were normal. device 19: a BLE controller running an unpatched firmware from 2014. it manages the electronic door lock, the smoke detector, the thermostat, and the room safe. all four on one controller. one protocol. zero updates in 10 years. i asked claude code to analyze the protocol. it took 90 seconds. the lock uses a 4-byte rolling key with no session tokens. claude code generated a valid master key on the third attempt. i heard my door click from the bed. then it found the smoke detector is on the same bus. the red light in the photo? that's the controller's status LED. it's not monitoring smoke. it's confirming the BLE handshake with the lock system every 8 seconds. that means anyone within bluetooth range - the hallway, the room next door, the parking lot - with one prompt and 90 seconds can: 1. unlock your door 2. disable the room alarm 3. open your safe 4. and the smoke detector confirms the connection with that little red blink the check takes 2 minutes: step 1 → open claude code → paste the prompt from the first comment step 2 → it scans every BLE device in range and flags unpatched firmware step 3 → if it finds one → request a room change → ask for a room with a physical deadbolt → and use it every hotel chain running ASSA ABLOY or Onity locks from before 2018 has this. that's roughly 30% of hotels worldwide. i tested 3 hotels this month. all 3 vulnerable. look at the photo. top right. that red dot blinking every 8 seconds. that's the handshake. save the prompt. next hotel you check into → run it before you unpack.

Does Amazon know that its foreign sellers cheat on import duties, tariffs, and taxes? Is this email warning them that it may be harder for them to cheat going forward? Why is Amazon providing Chinese language guides to navigate US customs changes?

Part 2, and my last post about my Shawn Ryan Show episode. Last I heard, it had been edited. Then Shawn went on Diary of a CEO and described a woman whose interview he’d never release. That woman wasn’t me, unless he was lying. But I never expected it to air, and here’s why: I spent weeks prepping with Shawn’s team. I was booked to follow the money on TPUSA and the surveillance state, and naming names is what I do. I’m meticulous, and I never say anything I can’t prove. Then, right before we started filming, I was told I couldn’t name names. When I brought up who funds Flock Safety, the license plate cameras now in thousands of American towns, I was told not to say Andreessen Horowitz or Peter Thiel. You can’t follow the money without showing where the money flows. That’s when I realized this episode would never air, before we had even started. So when I got home, I did what I do. I followed the money. And, turns out Shawn Ryan is invested in companies backed by the exact people I was told not to name, plus Israel. (1) Anduril Industries: Ryan has been an investor since October 2025. Anduril started with surveillance towers and now builds drones and autonomous weapons. Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund led its June 2025 round, and Andreessen Horowitz co-led its $5 billion round in May 2026. Those are the two names I was told to leave out. In February 2026, Anduril’s founder, Palmer Luckey, made an undisclosed trip to Israel and met with Netanyahu and senior defense officials. By June, Anduril was setting up an Israel operation to sell to Israel’s Ministry of Defense. Shawn had Palmer on his show in February 2025 and invested eight months later. (2) Shield AI: Ryan has been an investor since November 2025. It builds AI-piloted drones and fighter jets. Andreessen Horowitz led its first major round and has kept investing ever since. Shawn had its co-founder on the show the same season he invested. (3) Sesh: Ryan has been an investor since August 2025. Its $40 million round was led by 8VC, the venture firm of Joe Lonsdale, who co-founded Palantir with Peter Thiel. Lonsdale was a guest on Shawn’s show on May 7, 2026, less than three months before I taped. Palantir signed a strategic partnership with Israel’s Ministry of Defense in 2024. And Flock Safety, the company I came to talk about, is backed by Andreessen Horowitz, which led two of its rounds, and by Founders Fund, Peter Thiel’s fund. So I was booked to expose who funds the surveillance state. I was told not to name Andreessen Horowitz or Peter Thiel. And the host has money in companies backed by Andreessen Horowitz, by Thiel’s fund, and by Thiel’s Palantir co-founder, including one that is building its business in Israel. Then there’s the rest of it. Sarah Adams, his former network host, was messaging his team to keep me off (see Part 1 if you missed it). An IDF settlement contractor tagged the two of them together. Pro-Israel groups passed around her clip from his show as proof that Israel didn’t drive the war. And after his Diary of a CEO interview, accounts from the same network that spent the summer smearing me told everyone his “CIA woman” was me, citing “sources.” It wasn’t me. I never discussed a polygraph with Shawn Ryan, and it was never why I went on. So either he was talking about someone else, or somebody turned his story into a weapon against me. Honestly, I don’t want the episode to air, and I told them so right after we taped, because it was a watered-down version of my work. How it all happened was a tough lesson learned for me in this industry. Now you know what was going on behind the scenes. If this episode doesn’t air, I can assure you it’s not because I’m a fraud. It’s because I won’t water down who funds the surveillance state, and I won’t sell out to protect anyone’s investments. So there you have it.

No precise figure exists, as "lie" requires proving intent and trackers differ on methods. During his first term, the Washington Post counted 30,573 false or misleading claims, averaging about 21 per day or roughly 630 a month, with the rate rising over time. PolitiFact rated most checked statements as mostly false or worse. Second-term coverage shows a continued high volume of such claims by multiple outlets, though without a matching comprehensive daily tally. All such counts involve editorial judgments and draw critiques over selection bias.
