✍️ TAKE NOTE

This 72-Year-Old Baker is Taking Over Saskatchewan (One Bun at a Time)!

Meet Jim Hadfield, a baking legend from Milestone, Saskatchewan. At 72 years old, this self-taught baker is in his second act!

  • Self-taught baker: Jim retired in 2007 and decided to bake his own bread since he couldn't find anything he liked in stores. Soon after, he mastered buns, cinnamon buns, and cakes too!

  • From hobby to business: After encouragement from a stranger who loved his cinnamon buns, Jim launched his business, "Jim's Bread, Buns & Cakes," in 2007.

  • Social media success: Jim uses Facebook to connect with his 17,000 followers and, share his menu and take orders.

  • Holiday favourite: Jim's Christmas fruitcakes are a huge hit - he bakes hundreds yearly, with pre-orders filling up months in advance!

  • Passion for baking: Jim loves creating all his treats - from cakes to buns - and enjoys sharing them with his community.

Why this matters: This story is an inspiration for anyone looking for a second act. It shows that you're never too old to learn a new skill and turn your passion into a successful business!

Hold on to Your Hats! Tesla to Unveil "Robotaxi" in August, But Will It Actually Drive Itself?

Here's the scoop on Tesla's self-driving taxi announcement:

  • Big announcement, little detail: Elon Musk announced a Tesla "robotaxi" reveal on August 8th, but no details about the car's capabilities were revealed.

  • Broken promises? Tesla has a history of missing deadlines for self-driving features. Their 2019 prediction of robotaxis by 2020 hasn't come true.

  • Technically not self-driving (yet): Current "Full Self-Driving Capability" requires driver supervision and isn't truly autonomous.

  • Experts are skeptical: Testing by Consumer Reports indicates the current system is unreliable and requires constant driver attention.

  • The competition is also facing issues: Other companies like Waymo and Cruise have also encountered problems with their self-driving vehicles.

Why this matters: As a generation drawn to innovation and convenience, self-driving cars promise both, but the technology seems to be further off than originally promised. It's important to stay informed about the reality of this technology before getting too excited.
