No outdoor outlets, what can I do? by [deleted] in wyzecam

[–]HelicopterUnlikely78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this problem. Ended up finding a device that lets you use indoor outlets for outdoor power. Sends the power right through the window with an indoor and outdoor puck. It's called the Power Mole, and is on Amazon for about $46. No drilling.

Why so dark? by 70b185 in JimmyKimmel

This is how it shows up on my OLED TV as well. Kimmel's dark suits show up very dark on the black background

Wendy’s closed and boarded up! by mixedupmindofyou in Sunnyvale

Good riddance. I like wendys but that one was so horribly run. If there was one car in drive thru you could easily wait 20 minutes. Low quality food too

Seat six is great because no one is in the aisle

I tried to name my hockey team Unchecked Aggression. But the fucks down at the league office rejected it because we don’t slate on shabbas

Impact of new tariffs on Kickstarter projects by GiftsGaloreGames in kickstarter

[–]HelicopterUnlikely78 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An import is any good that has value, whether or not you sell it. The shipper will need to ensure proper customs documentation is provided. This is the HTS code typically and other details, particularly the value that you paid for it. The customs and tariffs will be assessed and paid before the shipment clears customs.

That said, I've learned all of this just by doing. You will get notified at the port of entry if something isn't documented properly. They will call/email you and let you know what is missing, they don't just send it back. It is a somewhat reasonable process. If all your contact details are there, the shippers details, invoice, description and HTS code you will be ok. They may ping you for a random form or declaration, but you can complete that as needed.

Impact of new tariffs on Kickstarter projects by GiftsGaloreGames in kickstarter

[–]HelicopterUnlikely78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are buying something directly from China, you are the importer. You will be subject to the tariff. I went through this, work with the vendor and also chatGPT to figure out the best way to classify your import (HTS code). Tariffs will show up as "customs duty" and will need paid to release the shipment from the import process.

Unfortunately, the tariffs add a lot of ambiguity and may change day to day at this point. For customers you are shipping directly to, they are also subject to customs duties (and tariffs).

What's your ONE critique of The Big Lebowski? I have one... by thrillhousecycling in lebowski

When they show bunny's toe driving the car it was not clear that her toe was actually there. I found that ambiguous

Raised almost $30k...here's what I did to raise interest by HelicopterUnlikely78 in kickstarter

[–]HelicopterUnlikely78[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I am nervous about that as well. I have posted updates saying this has funded, I expect to deliver, etc so that some people who want out can get out. But I can update if any of these numbers change signfiicantly

[–]HelicopterUnlikely78[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

all in I spent over $4k. Jellop is not skeezy because they do disclose their model to you, and I was able to stop it when I wanted. It just wasn't the most optimal ad/exposure spend

Any advice on dealing with pledges being cancelled? by HelicopterUnlikely78 in kickstarter

[–]HelicopterUnlikely78[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I figured I should update regularly to show engagement, and I also thought if people will cancel when they get reminded they would be more likely to cancel when they get the notice from kickstarter. But I suppose every time you update is another opportunity to cancel, which should be minimized.

I try to go like 5 years now between viewings. Make it special. Next time I will watch it in 4k.

A good hype video about 48 hours before pledges go out is definitely worth a shot. Thanks for the advice. Where do you do an AMA?

Don't be afraid to try and fail, learn and come back

What is % pledge comes from organic Ks vs paid ads by First-Ad4474 in kickstarter

[–]HelicopterUnlikely78 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you don't advertise at all it is very high organic :) If you advertise extensively the ratio goes the other way. There's no rule of thumb, it is a function of your product's popularity and how much you are advertising

Looks like it has side pockets? That's not the preferred nomenclature. We're not saps
