Some students claimed on Reddit that they attempted to cover the vending machine cameras while waiting for the school to respond, using gum or Post-it notes.
Iâm surprised it wasnât something more permanent. Like a hammer or voltage spike.

Schummer, a 64-year-old jingle writer turned retail manager, had seen the value of his modest ranch-style home near Pensacola, Florida, balloon during the pandemic. Like a lot of homeowners, Schummer was keen to convert some of his theoretical wealth into real cash. His home needed a new roof and floors, and friends sometimes joked that it was "stuck in the '70s," but tapping into the amassed equity seemed difficult. The traditional options all involved taking out additional loans, and Schummer couldn't afford more monthly payments.
Then came the letter. It was from a California-based company called Point, which proposed an unorthodox solution: Instead of Schummer borrowing money against the current value of the house, Point offered to pay Schummer a lump sum of cash in exchange for a share of his homeâs future appreciation. In essence, the company was betting that the price of his house would keep climbing, and it wanted to get in on the action. These kinds of deals, often referred to as home-equity-sharing agreements or home-equity investments, have existed on the fringes of housing finance for decades. But Point is one of a handful of relatively young companies, backed by some of the worldâs biggest investors, that are hoping to take the products mainstream.

Despite the data, most Americans believe violence is increasing because violence increasingly drives media attention. And the murder of any young woman by a stranger is bound to draw additional news coverage simply because these killings are rare. FBI statistics show 3,653 women were murdered in 2022 â comprising fewer than one in four victims â and according to data tracked by the Violence Policy Center, about 92% of women who are murdered know their attacker. The murder of Laken Riley by a stranger is statistically one in a million.

Yes, and as must the investorâs homeowner/partner. What "triggersâ the home sell, and could that unavoidably inconvenience the homeowner? Would the investors expect (or exercise a claim, however doubtful) a larger than initially agreed share due to some assertion that the homeowner negatively affected the value of the home due to questionable property upgrades or due to lack of proper maintenance by the homeowner? Then thereâs the problem with taking money from and making financial agreements with people and entities that outweigh you with regard to financial resources, political strength, and access to formidable legal counsel.
