The Best Mushroom Coffee for an Alternative Buzz
Max Fit Ten Mushrooms Coffee
The flavor of Ten Mushrooms is remarkably similar to that of Ryze (see below): smoky and savory with a sour finish and a dusty residue. A week with this did little to convince me that mushroom brew is the coffee of the future, but it didn't offend my sensibilities or my bowels in any notable way. If I were forced to choose between Ten Mushrooms and Ryze, I would choose the former due to its bullshit-free spin on a cottage industry that's filled with late-stage capitalist trapdoors and other forms of subscription-based chicanery.
As I write this, a 142-gram bag of Ten Mushrooms is about $10 cheaper than Ryze, and you can buy it instantly on Amazon without navigating several pages of subscriptions, pop-up discount offers, and other digital shakedowns. When the economy crashes and you still need to focus your chakras and conquer your ADHD with mushroom coffee, Jeff Bezos and Ten Mushrooms will be waiting for you with open arms.

Grundy County, Illinois farm is 100% sustainable, even with mules rather than tractors
About an hour and a half south of Chicago, a Grundy County farm stands out as different from the rest — as it is a 100% sustainable operation. Brian and Joanne Leber run Bray Grove Farm. But they weren't always farmers. "I was actually born in Chicago, lived most of my life there, and Brian decided that he wanted to live on a farm," said Leber. "My first instinct was, are you out of your mind?" But she warmed up to the idea. "I consider myself a fairly adaptable person," Joanne said. And now, farmers they are. Joanne showed CBS News Chicago the potatoes, beans and onions growing on Bray Grove Farm. "I think everything tastes better when you grow it yourself," said Joanne. And the 10 acres the Lebers operate look very different than the larger farms around them. "We wanted to make the farm as cooperative with nature as possible, so we dedicated at least half of the land to nature," said Brian. On the farm, there are tall trees, and native birds and other animals. "We stand back and let nature do what nature wants to do, and interfere as nominally as possible," said Brian. It is all part of keeping the soil healthy and productive. "We grow more food for humans on one acre, than they can grow on 80," said Brian. They do it all without the use of any chemicals or pesticides. And you won't find any tractors on Brian and Joanne's land. Instead, two mules, Annabelle and Loretta, do all the heavy lifting. And the mules have zero carbon emissions. this is Annabelle, one of their mules. And she has zero carbon emissions. "I'm working with two animals that I love," said Brian. "They're my kids. Loretta is my girlfriend." Climate change was a major motivator for the Lebers. "A big impetus was the climate has changed — and the climate has changed," said Brian. "We've been doing this actively for 11 years, and I have seen the changes in that short period of time." Brian said people can make a difference no matter where they live — even if it's in the city far away from the nearest farm. "Urban farming is a viable alternative, especially in underserved communities," said Brian. As for the Lebers, they're on the farm for the long haul. "I think we've made a commitment to the land and the animals that we've created a home for, so it would take a lot for us to go back to the city," Joanne said with a laugh. The Lebers' farm grows enough food to feed more than 100 people, and they donate 10% of what they grow to local food pantries.

Massive sinkhole swallows California construction site — know your options if a ‘shoring failure' impacts you
A massive sinkhole that opened up in Ventura, California, has damaged several vehicles, forced officials to red-tag a nearby property and left residents questioning the safety of local construction sites. The 25-foot hole appeared in late May near Thompson Boulevard and East Front Street at a construction site for a new apartment complex. While it initially looked like a natural sinkhole, city officials later said it was caused by a "shoring failure" — when a part of the support system buckles under nearby weight. I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says this 7-step plan 'works every single time' to kill debt, get rich in America — and that 'anyone' can do it An Instagram post by the community group Ventura Forward suggested that a combination of infrastructure overload and aggressive water pumping may have caused the damage. 'A water well was discovered during construction and the digging didn't stop,' the Instagram post read. 'Massive amounts of water have been pumped off location since construction started weeks ago.' Photos and aerial footage from the scene showed two pickup trucks on fractured pavement, both sinking into the hole. Another vehicle appeared to teeter on the edge, and a nearby storage unit was at risk as a fence warped under the stress. No injuries were reported, and officials say nearby homes are not in immediate danger. Still, the incident has left residents on edge. 'They didn't shore up the foundation, and they dug a hole and it collapsed. Dumb,' Ventura resident Woody Maxwell told KTLA. 'Considering the stuff they can fix, I'm sure they can fix this. It's just going to cost time and money.' The adjacent property has been red-tagged, which means it's unsafe and uninhabitable until further notice. "City staff are working closely with construction engineers to evaluate the situation and determine appropriate repairs and potential temporary measures to prevent further damage,' city officials said in a statement. 'There is no current threat to life safety, and the City is committed to keeping as many businesses open and operational as possible during this time."

In fact, you can get started with as little as $10 — here's how In California, if your vehicle or property is damaged by a construction-related failure, such as an improperly supported foundation, you may be able to take legal action or file an insurance claim. Here's what to consider: If a contractor ignored building codes, skipped safety protocols or caused preventable damage, you may have grounds for a negligence lawsuit. Under California law, property owners can seek compensation for: Property damage Loss of use Repair or replacement costs Diminished property value To succeed, you'll need to show the contractor had a duty of care, breached that duty and caused the damage. A construction defect attorney can help gather evidence and file a claim. If you have homeowners or commercial property insurance, your policy may cover damage from ground movement. But some policies exclude damage from earth movement or man-made excavation collapse. Check the fine print. Auto insurance may cover parked vehicle damage, depending on whether you have comprehensive coverage. If the construction company is found liable, your insurer may seek reimbursement through a process called subrogation. Filing an insurance claim is usually faster than taking legal action, but a lawsuit might recover more, especially for uncovered losses. Insurance is a good first step for fast recovery, especially if you need immediate repairs. Legal action might be necessary if your insurer denies the claim, the damages exceed your coverage or you want to hold someone accountable. Whichever route you take, document everything: Take photos of the damage Gather witness statements Save repair estimates and receipts Request red-tag documentation from the city Being thorough helps strengthen both insurance claims and legal cases.

I'm 57 years old, divorced and have just $18K in retirement savings — how do I secure my suddenly solo future?
Divorce isn't just a young person's game. For some, love is fleeting and can evaporate quickly. In other cases, it's a bond that can last for decades until it's worn down or suddenly broken. Kathryn, 57, finds herself single after nearly 30 years of marriage. Her ex was the breadwinner of the household, and she only has about $18,000 saved for her retirement. Since she's about 10 years from retiring, she's wondering if she still has time to catch up. Will she have to delay her retirement — or even forgo it altogether? I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says this 7-step plan 'works every single time' to kill debt, get rich in America — and that 'anyone' can do it Kathryn's situation is far from unique. Gray divorce, sometimes referred to as silver divorce, refers to couples over 50 choosing to get a divorce — often after a long marriage, and often after their kids have grown up and left the nest. Gray divorce rates in the U.S. have risen over time. A 2022 study found that gray divorces increased moderately between 1970 and 1990 before doubling by 2010. Rates then stagnated for those aged 50-64, but continued to grow for the 65-plus crowd. In 2019, 36% of people getting divorced were aged 50 and up. So, what's behind this trend? For one thing, it's more socially acceptable these days to get a divorce than it was back in the 1970s. At the same time, people are living longer. In 1970, life expectancy in the U.S. was 70.8 years, while presently it's 78.4 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.. Couples sometimes stay together for the kids, so once they're empty nesters they decide to part ways. Or maybe they've just been growing apart for years and their interests have changed as they've grown older. Retirement itself could be a trigger if their financial goals aren't in sync. But gray divorce can also have a major financial impact on a couple's golden years, especially if one partner was the runaway breadwinner. Divorce can take a financial toll, and those close to retirement age — or already retired — have less time to rebuild their depleted funds. Rebuilding isn't easy, but it's possible. Kathryn has $18,000 in her retirement savings, but she should also consider other sources of potential retirement income. For example, part of her divorce agreement may include access to a portion of her ex's retirement plans. A qualified domestic relations order, or QDRO, is 'a judgment, decree or order for a retirement plan to pay child support, alimony or marital property rights to a spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent of a participant,' according to the Internal Revenue Service. A spouse or former spouse can roll over tax-free 'all or part of a distribution from a qualified retirement plan that he or she received under a QDRO.' Kathryn may be eligible for alimony or spousal maintenance, though the amount and duration will vary depending on state laws. Read more: You don't have to be a millionaire to gain access to . In fact, you can get started with as little as $10 — here's how She'll also want to look into Social Security. If you're divorced, you either get benefits based on your work record or your ex's work record, whichever is higher — so long as you were married for more than 10 years before the divorce and haven't remarried. Kathryn doesn't have to wait until her ex claims his benefit to start receiving hers. But if she claims it before reaching her full retirement age (at age 67), she'll receive a permanently reduced benefit like anyone else. A decade isn't a lot of time, but it's still possible for Kathryn to build up her nest egg by cutting back on spending while increasing her savings rate — though that could require some sacrifices. Kathryn will first want to make sure she's not leaving any money on the table in the form of shared retirement assets. From there, she can come up with a new retirement plan and project how much extra she'll need to meet her goals. She'll also want to build an emergency fund (to cover at least three to six months' worth of expenses) and pay off any high-interest debt as quickly as possible. To increase her savings rate, she may want to consider taking on extra hours at work or supplementing her income with gig work. But she may also want to rethink her retirement plans, such as delaying retirement, working part-time in retirement or reducing her living expenses by downsizing or moving to a cheaper city or state. It could be worth consulting a financial advisor to model various scenarios and come up with a post-divorce budget and new retirement plan.
