Grey Market Labs announces $8M Series A funding led by Capri Ventures to accelerate growth of its Replica Platform - First of its kind "Secure Environment as a Service"By now, those who read this weekly offering with any regularity understand that I might have an inordinate amount of curiosity about a myriad of topics. Just a few days ago while shopping for stocking stuffers I found myself taking inventory of various matters during the past year. Apropos of absolutely nothing, I asked myself this question, “Did anybody in 2024 have a better year than Snoop Dogg?” I mean, c’mon, he’s been fully embraced by corporate America in a variety of commercials. He was essentially the face of the summer Olympics in Paris. There might have been more shots of him than of the Eiffel Tower. In the last few weeks, he’s a regular on national TV as a talent judge on a show called "The Voice." Ol’ Snoop’s had a pretty good year. Peper column: Christmas trees hold fond memories My mind is uniquely wired to observe such mundane matters. I enjoy noticing stuff or wondering about different items that are commonly right there for all of us to consume. I seem to enjoy the journey to nothingness more than others. That’s also, I suppose, why certain headlines find their way to my inbox from various news outlets. I don’t venture down every rabbit hole, but I clearly have a tendency to take a peek. For instance, are you likely to click on a subject that deals with why dogs lick people? Are you mildly interested in knowing how much farther you can drive when the gas gauge shows "E?" Ok, so maybe these aren’t life-altering topics that guarantee happiness in your life, but they are questions that definitely intrigue me. Since I went to the trouble of exploring the answers, allow me to share. Dogs lick people for a couple reasons. It’s often a sign of affection and Rover is just happy to see you. There’s also a chance that you just ate something and taste good. Peper column: Donate to a Lowcountry blessing box this holiday As for the gas tank sitting on empty? The manufacturers build in a little buffer before the tank is really bone dry. It depends on the size of the tank. A big SUV might still have a couple gallons left when the "E" light appears. A compact car, maybe a gallon. My advice? Don’t drive faster when the light comes on in an effort to get there sooner. I don’t know why life seems to zoom by so quickly as you get older. I do know that it feels like it is in warp speed at the moment. When I was a child, it took forever for Christmas to get here. Now it feels that as soon as I say “Happy New Year” to somebody, a few moments later it’ll be time for Christmas again. I think it’s OK to wonder about things and find answers to various questions. I’ve always felt as if there are still many questions I’d like to learn the answers to. For instance, why can’t you end a sentence with a preposition? Anyway, as we enter 2025, can you believe it? Remember 2000 when we were warned the whole world might come apart at the seams because nobody was sure all the computers were equipped to handle the end of a millennium? Peper column: What goes into making a to-do list? As we start another year, I’ll do what I can to keep your interests piqued. Just today, look what we’ve learned. Nobody had a better year than Snoop Dogg; when the "E" light comes on, don’t panic, there’s still a little wiggle room; and dogs lick your face because they’re happy to see you. However, if Snoop Dogg licks somebody’s face, there are bound to be a few other questions. Happy New Year!

The report further alleged that the Company’s “most valuable data” comes from these predatory websites, dubbed consent farms, which are “responsible for almost the entirety of the Company’s growth.” On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $10.46, or 37.07%, to close at $17.76 per share on November 13, 2024.
