commercial flooring contractors spend thousands on Facebook lead ads that show boring pictures of finished gloss floors. nobody clicks on finished floors. last month i pitched a regional industrial epoxy contractor on a "chaos hook" ad concept.

i filmed 4K closeups of a heavy mechanical concrete scarifier tearing up a cracked, oil-soaked warehouse floor in a shower of concrete dust, then cut straight to the flawless mirror-like epoxy finish. the visual impact of the raw concrete destruction drives a 4x higher click-through rate from warehouse managers. sold them a package of 3 raw video hooks for $1,500.

commercial hood cleaners spend thousands on Google PPC with terrible conversion. i shot a 6-second video hook showing a flaming frying pan hitting a dirty stainless steel hood filter, then cut to a technician high-pressure washing the grease filter spotless.
conversion rate on their Meta ads tripled overnight. sold them 4 raw video hooks for $1,400.

commercial donut bakeries fry in palm oil 18 hours a day, coating their rooftop exhaust flues in thick sticky lard that becomes a massive fire hazard. standard commercial hood cleaners hate them because donut grease turns into hard gummy wax that clogs normal pressure washer nozzles.
i bought a 4,000 PSI hot-water pressure washer, a caustic degreaser foam cannon, and a set of flexible flue brushes. i roll up at midnight when the bakery shifts change. i blast the vertical exhaust stack with 200-degree chemical foam and scrape the waxy lard out into sealed barrels. charge $600 cash per visit. takes ninety minutes and bakery owners pay immediately because the fire marshal will shut them down otherwise.

Hi guys, I’m studying Finance and I sent around 100 applications. I landed an internship at Stifel (which seems to not be a target according to most people in this sub), is it worth it if my dream is to break into an Elite Boutique?
I’m asking this because this ranking was sent on this group today, and Nomura looks like it’s not at the same level of the places I dream to work in. True or Cap?

our IT department pushed a mandatory telemetry agent that eats 45% CPU in the background, making my laptop fans sound like a jet engine all day. instead of arguing with HR, i stuck a peltier thermoelectric cooler element directly onto the laptop chassis right over the internal thermal diode sensor.
wrote a small python script on a raspberry pi zero that monitors cpu load. whenever the spyware process crosses 40% usage for more than 2 minutes, the pi fires up the peltier module and spikes the laptop internal temp reading to 98C. cpu instantly thermal-throttles down to 500MHz and sends an automated hardware failure alert to IT. after four motherboard replacements in three weeks, IT finally placed my machine on the spyware exclusion list.
