Very cool, thanks for sharing. Can you track cart removal (attrition)? This ratio will ultimately help retailers and brands better understand at what point in time (path to purchase) an item is added/removed along with other correlated items to complete the basket which could be interesting. This may actually lead to stores improving their merchandising by aligning highly correlated items that get added and stay added together on the shelf, which then also helps them better merchandise online, a double win. And, what item gets added first and then magnetizes the second correlated item could prove to help merchandisers ID “brand associative power”. Also would be interesting to see duration of cart time “actively shopping” vs “gross merchandise value” to see how speed and spend are correlated which may again help merchandisers better align the most optimal in store route for shoppers and instacarters. Just a few quick thoughts.

A Glimpse into the Future Our new technology can detect a vast amount of fresh water streams and geothermal energy underground. This represents the future of humanity. The noble goal is to provide everyone with fresh water and geothermal energy. The technology, Remote Sensing with Magnetic Nuclear Resonance, was originally a military technology that we have adapted for geology. It can see everything down to a depth of 5000 meters. Water from the ocean and sea flows underground into a volcano, where it evaporates into steam and then forms a fresh water stream. This fresh water flows for hundreds of years and thousands of kilometers, absorbing all the minerals beneficial to humans along the way. We have already identified 16 such "kettles." There is a significant amount of fresh water at depths of 300 to 600 meters. Here’s how we find them: For example, in a land area of 500 square kilometers with specific coordinates, we obtain infrared analog photos from a space station. We apply the chemical composition of fresh water to a helium plate, add X-ray film, and subject it to nuclear radiation. The results are then decoded to reveal everything: depth, power, and drilling points. It's that simple. Do you need eyes underground?
