I’m so glad there are still decent people who try to do the right thing. Then there are the people who run Reddit.

Dont throw them up in that case, your heart need electrolytes etc. can you drink some cucumber water? Electrolytes but essentially calorie negative.

That’s absurd. If I can recall from my marketing classes from looooong ago, in order to say it’s a discount the item needs to at least have a higher sticker price on sale before so this is their manipulation of that. I notice this mostly in book publishing/Amazon but that’s likely because that 95% of what I buy. Though I still argue I’m better at saving money grocery shopping my spouse doesn’t agree, and since they cook I don’t argue.

That’s seems like reasonable.

I’m sure I’m not telling you anything new, but if you use them for marketing I’d always try to include your self hosted link. Before retiring for health reasons I worked in mfr and I know when we would have shortages from our existing suppliers for actual parts we’d also start just googling that part directly and occasionally would find new suppliers that way though that involved more risks and extra testing of the parts ordered so it wasn’t a regular thing.

For consumer stuff I enjoyed a lot of reddits comics and am glad I bookmarked those artists site so I can give them clicks directly. Plus I won’t miss out on limited sales of merch for some of them. There was a dragon plushie I regret missing. Good luck on your business.

I think we need more competition and anti trust enforcement on the big conglomerates that own majority’s of any said market. Sometimes feel like we are going through another robber baron stage in the US.

They are paying their price right now. Other dives have gone much deeper, safer. This guy is a fly by night con guy in my opinion.

Read the Bloomberg piece in him.

By the way used to work a lot in defense procurement. There are a ton of regs they do follow, though they sure as hell don’t care about RoHs for the most part.

I think they are gone. Safety regulations are a thing for a reason.

War sucks, and most veterans and their families know it. But when forced to fight Ukraine is standing, and I hope that Western support doesn’t waiver. I’m sure Putin is hoping to interfere in moar elections as an out.

Could you imagine if his lil orange minion was in power?

Shudders.

Ps, people make sure you are registered to vote.

Don’t put her mom sins on her. Her mom is who lied originally, not her.

Oof, that’s sad. I think she needs to tell the truth and that she is afraid of paying the price and losing her father, no matter the dna, because her mom was stupid enough to not only cheat, but to do it unprotected.

I have a lot of sympathy for all of you, except her mother. I also think he may be afraid, or just in denial but that doesn’t mean he will stay that way. She owes him the truth, even though it was never her lie or responsibility.

If he took a test at the same time, and knows she did as well, won’t he be asking about the results?

I think she should tell him, but also stress that to her she is his Dad, and if she isnt intending on tracking down her biological donor she should make that clear also. He was the one there throughout the years, he is the one trying to make an effort now. It sounds like she loves him and is afraid of losing him, give her some time to absorb and process. Maybe she could talk to a therapist to help her sort this out, and for tips on the best language to use etc?

I mean I’m estranged from my father and I would be having big feeling finding out something like this.

Oh yeah, I’ve also actually browsing on an account instead of lurking unsigned in as well.
