To us, there’s nothing cooler than an old commercial truck repurposed as a hot rod. There’s just something undeniably awesome about former workhorses from another era being fitted with modern suspension components, big, powerful engines, and of course, awesome visual updates. All of these characteristics (and more) apply to Pot O’ Gold Kustoms‘ 1950 Ford Bread Truck.

This slammed vintage beauty recently made an appearance at SEMA360, the online-only virtual version of the usual SEMA Show, and it predictably turned quite a few heads. Much of that came from the truck’s stance, which is quite low thanks to an AccuAir air suspension. Up front, the 1950 Ford Break Truck utilizes a Mustang II suspension, with a triangulate four-link out back.

A narrowed 9-inch Ford rear differential helps make room for a massive set of Detroit steel wheels wrapped in equally large rubber, and there are disc brakes at all four corners to help slow the boxy pickup down. And that’s a good thing, because it’s got copious amounts of torque underhood thanks to a Cummins 4BT four-cylinder diesel engine.

The truck itself is a real-deal vintage bread hauler used by a company in Denver, Colorado back when it was new. The old Ford actually continued to do just that all the way until 1966, when it was retired. Pot O’ Gold found it stranded and in rough condition, with giant rust holes everywhere and lots of hail damage, as well as missing body parts.

It wasn’t much to start with, but the folks at Pot O’ Gold did a heck of a job bringing this poor Ford back from the dead. And considering how many hard years of service it put in, that’s the least anyone could do for an old and deserving commercial truck.

We’ll have more cool rides like this to share soon, so be sure and subscribe to Ford Authority for the latest Ford F-Series news and non-stop Ford news coverage.

This low-riding, diesel-powered 1950 Ford bread truck was found in a field in pieces and brought back to life as one seriously awesome hot rod.

The snack producer acquired the 186,107-square-foot building, which will become its largest manufacturing plant, expected to begin operations later this year.
“We are making significant investments in our technology at the new facility to keep the company on an aggressive growth trajectory,” said Randy Johnson, CEO of Dot’s Pretzels.
“Not only will we be able to produce more pretzels but do so with greater consistency and ability to expand our product lines.”
The facility is based in Logistics Park Kansas City (LPKC) and will create 22 new jobs.
“Food manufacturing is an industry on the rise, and we are excited to diversify the offerings at LPKC with the addition of Dot’s Pretzels,” says James Oltman, president of ElevateEdgerton!, which manages LPKC, an inland port with capacity for 17 million square feet of industrial buildings.
David Toland, Kansas Department of Commerce Secretary, added, “We are so pleased to see Dot’s Pretzels’ plan for growth in Edgerton, and proud that Dot’s is making Kansas home to its largest facility in the nation.
“To help with Dot’s planned expansion, Commerce worked with our partners at KCADC, Evergy, ElevateEdgerton! and the City of Edgerton every step of the way. Collaborations like this are absolutely critical to helping Kansas companies grow.”
Manufactured in Velva, North Dakota, Dot’s gourmet pretzels are sold in over 500 retail outlets throughout the state. According to the producer, more than 1.5m of its pretzels are consumed by Americans each year.

Dot’s Pretzels has invested $15m in a new manufacturing facility in Edgerton, Kansas, to increase production capacity to meet increasing national demand.

Celebrating a birthday or anniversary while self-quarantined amid the coronavirus outbreak? There's a Chicago bakery that wants to help your cake truly commemorate the occasion.
TipsySpace, a bakery in Chicago's West Town neighborhood, offers custom cakes in the shape of toilet paper rolls that feed 10 to 15 people.
With a price tag of $100, the cake comes wrapped like a roll of TP with a custom message.
Dr. Emily Landon is the chief infectious disease epidemiologist at the University of Chicago Medicine, who moments after Pritzker issued the ordinance to take effect Saturday evening, took to the stand with a 7-minute-long speech that went viral after striking a chord for many individuals.
Choose from five types of cake -- Vanilla Cake Dense and Rich, Vanilla Cake Fluffy, Portilliosesque Chocolate Cake, Lemon Cake and Confetti Cake -- and three filling flavors -- Italian Buttercream, Chocolate Ganache and Cream Cheese Frosting.
Available for delivery or curbside pickup, the cake also comes with a complimentary roll of real toilet paper.

Unprecedented times call for unprecedented measures, and that’s precisely how we as a society end up with something like How Much Toilet Paper?!, a new website that calculates the dwindling amount of our most prized bathroom supply.

It’s a relatively simple tool: you put in the number of rolls you have left and the number of toilet visits you estimate you take per day, and it spits out a nice whole number at the top of the screen. So 10 rolls left at three visits per day (the default for the website when you visit it for the first time) equates to 53 days. That’s plenty of toilet paper, you’d think.

But there are advanced options for taking into account more granular metrics, like the number of people in the household and number of sheets on the roll of whatever brand of toilet paper you have. The result is a fun, if not tad dystopian, tool for figuring out how long you’re stash will last if coronavirus-related lockdowns around the world stay in effect for weeks to months.

The site was put together by two UK residents, Ben Sassoon and Sam Harris, who made it quickly as a source for some “light-hearted humour.” But it fast grew into “a tool that can educate the masses and help reduce the stockpiling issues going on around the world,” Sassoon tells The Verge over email.

“We went from idea to deployment in less than three hours. The site has definitely gone through a lot of changes since the first version, but it just proves the power of the internet,” he adds. “You can go from idea to viral in hours or even minutes. We are currently at around 2 million viewers in just four days. It’s beyond anything I’ve experienced before.”

Sassoon says he and Harris hope the site will help people wake up to the dangers of hoarding in a crisis. “Our average user has 500% more toilet paper than they would need in a potential quarantine. We are hoping that people will use the site and see they don’t need to go out and empty the shelves,” he says.

“We are hoping that people will use the site and see they don’t need to go out and empty the shelves.”
Another silver lining to the novel coronavirus pandemic is that creatives like Sassoon, who is currently self-isolating with a dwindling amount of toilet paper that his calculator estimates will last him 14 days (four rolls), are finding ways to keep occupied with projects that, once shared online, can bring the public some much-needed distraction and entertainment. More musicians are now performing live on Twitch after tours were canceled, late-night TV hosts are turning into YouTube vloggers, and US presidential candidates like Bernie Sanders are even pioneering virtual campaign rallies.

“We are experiencing one of the largest social experiments in our generation — almost the entire world is now working from home, and millions of freelancers and service workers have unfortunately become unemployed overnight,” Sassoon says. “It is a strange and upsetting situation, but a lot of people suddenly have a lot more time on their hands — so I wonder what other creatives will come up with.”

You likely have much more than you need.

How about ditching your pricey smartphone for this rotary dial cell phone that does hardly anything at all?

An engineer has created a working cell phone that includes a rotary dial instead of a display. It’s available for $240, though you’ll have to build it yourself.

Last night, the Kansas City Chiefs pulled off another epic comeback--their third in a row--to become Super Bowl champions for the first time in 50 years.
As was the case all season,& #160;Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes& #160;played a major role in his team's victory. Despite some major mistakes (Mahomes threw two interceptions in the game and also fumbled the ball twice), and despite being down 10 points going into the fourth quarter, Mahomes led the Chiefs to three touchdowns in the final seven minutes of the game.& #160;
As a result, Mahomes became the youngest quarterback in Super Bowl history to be named MVP. That's a pretty amazing accomplishment for a 24-year old, who was also named league MVP last year and has broken numerous passing records in his short time in the NFL (only three seasons).
What's the secret to Mahomes's success? The young quarterback gave some insight into that question in& #160;his post-Super Bowl interview.& #160;Asked if he now sees himself as the face of the NFL, Mahomes had this to say:
"There's several guys that could be the face of the NFL...Lamar [Jackson], who was the unanimous MVP last night, he had one of the best seasons of all time as a quarterback position. And, so, there's guys like that it seems like every single year. A lot of young quarterbacks, still a lot of veteran guys that that are playing at a very high level.
"And, so, I just try to be the best Patrick Mahomes I can be."
I just try to be the best I can be.
This simple sentence is much more than a simple philosophy. It's a core element of& #160;emotional intelligence, and learning to implement it can help you to reach your full potential.& #160;
What's emotional intelligence got to do with it? Emotional intelligence is the ability to identify, understand, and manage emotions. Put even more simply, it's the ability to make emotions work for you, instead of against you.
But how does Mahomes's statement show evidence of emotional intelligence?
Mahomes followed up his record-breaking season in 2018 with another great effort in 2019. But it wasn't enough to win another league MVP, as that honor went to Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who became only the second player to win the award unanimously.& #160;
Mahomes could have gotten caught up in comparisons to Jackson, who is one year his junior. But doing so would have been a dangerous distraction. By instead focusing on his own strengths and effort, and the goal of winning a championship, Mahomes was able to lead his team to a Super Bowl victory.
When we focus too much on the accomplishments of others, we tend to create unfavorable comparisons. This can foster negative feelings, and prove discouraging. Or, it causes us to spend valuable time and energy trying to become something we're not.
Additionally, remember that& #160;you& #160;need to define success.& #160;
It's all too easy to compare yourself to colleagues, friends, and family members regarding everything from your job title to the size of your house.& #160;
But as Teddy Roosevelt famously said, "comparison is the thief of joy." If& #160;you take time to define your own goals and priorities, and refuse to let others dictate these to you, you'll be happier and more successful.& #160;
So, the next time you're tempted to focus on the success of your colleagues, your family members, or even your competitors, resist that urge.
Instead, use it as an opportunity to buckle down and re-focus on your own goals and priorities.
That will help& #160;you to become the best version of yourself...
And that's making emotions work for you, instead of against you.

In an insightful interview, Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes showed how getting your emotions under control can help you reach your full potential.
