inVent: that 2019 'Storm Area 51' guy now sells life coaching for $97 a session
That $97 price is the part that gets me, because someone doing real one on one calls with actual training charges way more than that. Dude rode a joke about raiding a base for like two weeks of fame in 2019 and now wants people to pay him to "unlock their moment" when his own moment was a Naruto run meme that went nowhere. Rachel, Nevada never got raided, nobody saw a UFO, the whole thing was a punchline. My real question is who is actually buying these calls, like is it people who think the event was real or just bored folks who want to talk to a guy they saw on the news once? And once that Facebook page drops below a certain number, does he just rebrand as some crypto guy or drop shipping guru? Feels like these viral accounts all follow the same script until the algorithm forgets them.

inFinally nailed the difference between CGC and CBCS labels
Watched a guy at a Dallas show pull this exact move last month. Had a CBCS red label 9.2 X-Men 129 sitting next to a CGC blue label, priced $80 higher, and when I asked why he said "the red means it's a first print variant." Total nonsense. Red is just their standard tier, same as blue is for CGC, nothing special about it. Best move is to pull up the cert number on your phone right there at the table, takes ten seconds and tells you if the book is restored or not. Sellers who get weird about you checking certs are the ones you walk away from. Also keep in mind CBCS uses yellow for signatures and green for qualified, so red being "bad" is a myth that keeps getting passed around.

inPSA: check the tap before you blame the modem, learned that one in Akron
8pm sharp every night is a weird one. Usually noise from a bad splitter is random, not on a schedule. Sounds more like something in that house kicked on at 8, maybe a TV or a DVR waking up to record, and the splitter just passed the noise along. I get why you check the coax now, but one old cable box causing a nightly outage feels like the story got cleaned up a bit after the fact. Most of the time a dead splitter just adds a little noise and nobody notices, it doesn't tank the whole connection like clockwork.
