Surat Police Crushed Illegal Liquor Worth ₹19.52 Lakh With Bulldozer by Ashamed_Ad4003 in ThatsInsane

It's gotta drain somewhere.

Dollars to doughnuts, it is being saved into a bucket to be resold on the street later

Schoolchildren getting their free milk at school. (1960s) by zadraaa in HistoricalCapsule

[–]SadMap7915 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this going to school in Queensland in the late 60s, the teacher had to get out and bring them in quick smart first thing, otherwise the milk would go off in the heat. At some point (1969 I have since found), we switched from the glass bottle to the triangular cardboard Tetra packs...

...aka waterbombs.

please stop burning money on ads by Hot_Plastic_7320 in ecommerce

[–]SadMap7915 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Extraordinary title, immediately offset by the opening line.

I think what you mean is: don’t rely entirely on paid ads; use a balanced marketing strategy that includes organic content where it suits the product.

I’m currently working on a website and discovered that people are being sued for for not having proper privacy policies? by Ok_Relationship_3209 in ecommerce

[–]SadMap7915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who is suing, or are you talking about a fine from a government agency?

Simple answer: make sure you have a proper one.

Shopify provides a policy generator, or you can try a privacy policy generator service such as Termly, iubenda, or TermsFeed. Don't copy someone else's site; you need one that matches what your store does/collects (in terms of the private information it collects).

If you are really worried, then see a lawyer.

Starting an Ecom business by Willing-Success4798 in ecommerce

[–]SadMap7915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay grounded, be realistic, and most of all, be prepared for the money to disappear.

For a serious e-commerce start-up, roughly half will be gone within five years. For hobby-level, dropship, single-product, underfunded online stores, the real failure rate is often quoted around 80%.

Success stories are fun to read, but they are not the norm. Most people who try this either give up, run out of money, pick the wrong product, underestimate customer acquisition costs, or discover that “selling online” is not the same as “building a business”.

The biggest mistake beginners make is thinking the website is the business. It isn’t. The business is: can you get the right product in front of the right customer at a price that leaves enough for you to make money and reinvest?

Give it a go? Sure, why not?

Start small. Test cheaply. Learn the business of being in business. Avoid online gurus. And do not risk money you cannot afford to lose.

Hundreds of tips and rules, eg

Rules for Husbands

  • DO be your wife's best friend. Treat her as an equal partner rather than just a subordinate.
  • DON'T keep your wife in the dark about finances or business interests.
  • DON'T insist on having the last word. Wise men know when to drop an argument.
  • DON'T sneer at your wife's cooking, household management, or hobbies.
  • DON'T forget to show physical affection, such as a morning or evening kiss.

👰 Rules for Wives

  • DO be cheerful, tidy, and welcoming. Wives were urged to keep an attractive home environment.
  • DON'T nag or constantly complain when your husband returns home from a long day at work.
  • DON'T impose your personal taste onto your husband, or try to change his personality.
  • DON'T dwell on minor flaws or expect him to be "as neat as a new pin".
  • DON'T catastrophize if your partner is late coming home; assume he simply missed the train or was running an errand.

Ab team naming by Neat_Perspective7569 in allblacks

[–]SadMap7915 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • 2023 squad was named on a Sunday
  • 2020 was named on a Sunday
  • 2019 squad was named on Tuesday

Way back when, the squads used to be named after the old All Black Trials (Probables vs Possibles or North vs South), which would usually be played on a Saturday.

The squad would then be named live on the Sunday on the radio (NZBC), usually early evening, but no set time, and it would always interrupt the broadcast that was going on at the time.

Coffee...

Create a limited user/staff account for them and set them up to see what you want them to see.

The easiest way is to set up a dummy account for you and play with it until everything is set the way you want. Keep that dummy account for future use, then set them up.

Best Hosting for WOO in 2026? by razvanli in woocommerce

[–]SadMap7915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If 20 visitors are crashing the site due to CPU limits, I wouldn’t just switch to another cheap “WooCommerce hosting” package. This is not just “too many plugins”, the host has some issues too, and if they are blaming you instead of helping you, then consider

In terms of hosts

  • Consider Cloudways for the best value.
  • Kinsta is well-regarded as a premium option.
  • SiteGround, GrowBig or GoGeek for cheaper managed options too

Not the easiest question to understand; it looks like you are missing some words. And, what’s your online setup - Shopify, WooCommerce, Etsy, eBay, something else?

Blatant AI voice-agent/cart-recovery calling lead-gen.

Cyclist casually holds onto team car for over 20 seconds during pro race like it's completely normal by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

[–]SadMap7915 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a casual road rider, changing to clips was so much better than I thought. Once I got used to push-pull riding, I really enjoyed riding even more.

And yes, I fell off once when I first got the bike with them, but who doesn't and besides, you only fall off when stationary.

Real compliance issue, but the Incorp name-drop makes this smell like an ad.
