waking up next to your pet and realizing you both slept peacefully together is one of life's sweetest little things.

This Delray Beach, Florida property has made a number of owners a lot of money, however on the surface, that doesn't seem to be playing out for the current owner.

In 2020 this property was bought for $509,500. It was then traded on January 15, 2025 for $1,595,000, a $1,085,500 win for the 2020 buyer.

The buyer from Jan `25 then traded this unit in June of `26 for $2,500,000, a $905,000 win.

The current owner, who bought it for $2,500,000 in June of this year is now trying to sell it, three months after they bought it, for $1,775,000, a $725,000 paper loss (hasn't sold yet).

If this was used as an AirBnB for the summer, could it generate enough cashflow to cover a $725,000 loss?

This dog was rescued from the street. It's his first night in a home.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

My MP salary donation this month is going to Yarmouth Greyhound Homefinders - helping dogs from the racing find a proper home once their competitive running days are over.

Caring for the dogs, and then linking them up with a loving family.

A great cause - I'm chuffed to help.

I was never very interested in dogs.
Then I rescued one.
Then my life changed.
Then I understood.
What a glorious gift, they are.

@Braylon_Breeze Do you know if the Australia v Brazil friendlies will be broadcast in the USA?

David's protein milkshake has 2 grams of fat in it and tastes like a milkshake. The fat is one ingredient, EPG, and your body mostly doesn't absorb it.

The label sorts itself into four systems, which is unusual for a consumer product. Protein system: ultrafiltered skim milk, water, lactase enzyme. Fat system: modified plant fat, EPG. Flavor system: Dutch process cocoa, natural and artificial flavor, salt, sucralose, acesulfame potassium. Structure system: dipotassium phosphate, gum arabic, cellulose gum, gellan gum.

EPG is the interesting part. It starts as rapeseed oil. They split the oil into glycerol and fatty acids, insert propylene glycol units into the glycerol, and put it back together. Those inserted units sit right where lipase needs to grab, so the enzyme mostly can't break it down. It coats your mouth like fat and carries flavor like fat, then leaves without giving up its calories. 10 grams of regular fat is 90 calories. 10 grams of EPG is about 7.

If you're old enough to remember olestra, that's the right comparison and it's the reason this one is built differently. Olestra was a liquid oil at body temperature, and that's where the side effects came from. EPG melts at 102 degrees, above body temperature, so it stays solid on the way through. The company describes the consistency as soft candle wax.

The structure system is four ingredients. Gellan gum comes from a bacterial fermentation and forms a gel so thin you can't feel it, but strong enough to hold cocoa particles in suspension. It's what keeps the cocoa from sinking to the bottom during months on a shelf. Gum arabic is dried sap from the acacia tree. It's an emulsifier, so it keeps the fat and the water from separating. Cellulose gum is plant fiber that's been modified to dissolve, and it adds body so the shake feels thick instead of watery. Dipotassium phosphate is a buffer. Milk protein wants to clump when it's heated to make a drink shelf stable, and the phosphate holds the pH where the protein stays dissolved.

The sweeteners are a pair. Sucralose is slow to hit and lingers. Acesulfame potassium hits fast and has a bitter finish. Blended, each one covers the other and the result tastes close enough to sugar. The Dutch process cocoa is cocoa treated with alkali, which darkens it, softens the bitterness, and makes it disperse in liquid instead of clumping the way natural cocoa does.

EPG is GRAS, not an approved food additive. The company assembles the safety file, FDA reviews it and issues a letter saying it has no questions. There are three of those letters on file. The molecule was developed in the 80s and didn't reach a product until around 2020. The longest human study in the file ran eight weeks. So the safety data is real, but the long term impact is being written right now by the people drinking it.
