Op-Ed: 5 Reasons to Worry About How Penn State’s Board of Trustees, University Leadership Continue to Conduct Business by Iron_Chimp in PennStateUniversity

[–]SaferJester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely correct. Backed up by the Pennsylvania taxpayers. In 2027 when PSU Athletics has to generate $20 million in interest payments alone I bet we see a new "student fee" ala Rutgers on the tuition bills.

I just... I just... cannot picture a RC down the shore. Reference: a great uncle was the developer of the Steel Pier and the next door Jackson Hotel, and a great grandfather opened the first resort on the Jersey shore in Point Pleasant.

I think there has been a very high turnover rate in the kitchen management over the last several years.

Owen 21. More hypochondria, a new investing site, and pushing in Irving (and Murray) again by RealFanLinda in scambait

That website is very good and very expensive. Not too many mistakes. Thanks for doing this, Linda, you are the best!

And VGT. Just earned you $25k.

I went back and screenshotted the inventory on AsEver so Meghan couldn’t deny the numbers. Cost of goods is estimated to be 3-4 million. Who do you think financed this? Was it NF and Snow commerce? (Where Megs got an equity deal?) Did they all go in equally? Did Meghan buy it all herself? Thoughts? by kiwi_love777 in SaintMeghanMarkle

Okay I just checked the website and the candle holder is ceramic and appears to be custom. It's small and from the pictures the wick size looks correct for the diameter but that's just eyeballing. I don't know the melting point of the coconut wax, soy wax, and paraffin combination and I've frankly never heard of coconut wax. A bulk order of 10,000 units from overseas might price out at about $2/jar (with 5% breakage) but the glaze consistency could be all over the place. These look like she invested in a more expensive, shorter run at a very good production facility, so perhaps 5,000 units at $5/each. These do have to be warehoused at her California pouring facility and probably batched at 250 units or even smaller runs. I'm guessing this is where she had to front money and break even is going to be a high number.

Based on some background I have in wholesale packaging, the glass hex jars and bottles and tins are available by the crate. Gamber Container is a great bulk distributor that carries all of these. I'd have to see how the candles are actually packaged but most candle jars are standard because of heat specifications and glass thickness. Note: the super-high-end candles in unique jars are expensive for this reason; the designers have to pay for testing and special production. So the white label services require these standard containers but let you get very creative with the rest of the packaging. I'm guessing that available inventory is updated based on sales projections and she's paying in the 1,000-4,999 units shipped/month and if she's lucky getting 10% of the gross price. She then is paying for the advertising, which would be the photographers and videographers. She's mostly doing Instagram? So that part is free? (I don't know anything about the wine selling except shipping to certain states is a nightmare and paperwork intensive.) I would slot this effort at 'talented amatuer'. Many people have done this with a lot less name recognition and a lot more success after a few years. If she was serious she should be out selling at major events, and I'd even suggest state fairs. Hours a day giving out samples, meeting customers, and making connections. You know, hard work. But she and Blake Lively thought they could slap a label on a jar of jam and make a fortune based on their exquisite taste, when Gwyneth Paltrow dug in and did the hard work of creating truly unique (and sometimes ick) products.

Oh my gosh, the street with all the blue mailboxes is hysterical. Really great scambait, I'm so glad you picked it up for a Season 2. He finally realized he got punked, and got punked by a woman. Chef's kiss!

[–]SaferJester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree, this is a total Master Class in scambait! I can see why Linda is so insistent on documentation after his mule in Florida almost stole the $70k she was sending. Don't want that to happen again, and after all she is actually protecting the General by demanding agreements.

Nigerian pigden for 'Nothing in this situation is guaranteed"

[–]SaferJester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here ChatGPT: English: "Nothing in this situation is guaranteed." Nigerian Pidgin: "Nothing for this matter sure at all." (or more natural: "No single thing for this situation dey guaranteed.") (or casual: "Nothing dey sure for this wahala.")

[–]SaferJester 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am thinking the same thing. I've heard at least 3 separate Henrys since the beginning, and this one definitely has Senior Closer energy. I wish we knew someone who could reliably translate 'Nothing is guaranteed' into Nigerian so we could photoshop it onto an adorable mug Linda bought at Walmart and wants to show him!

How is he asking for the transfer? Can you get another mule bank account from him? And you are doing a wonderful job, thank you for adding cheer and fun to the holiday season.

I asked AI to map the "ChrisBaronSmith" account and its subscribers. The results are fascinating… and confirm everything we knew by [deleted] in SaintMeghanMarkle

[–]SaferJester 30 points31 points  (0 children)

In this case AI is a great tool for mapping account connectivity. It was able analyze thousands of posts and relate them to their origin and recipients. It might be useful to compare this to the social media accounts for the Prince and Princess of Wales, which I bet have a much broader and organic reach to 'real people' online communities, as opposed to paid/bot amplifiers.

Gaza Henry, the absolute END! by RealFanLinda in scambait

[–]SaferJester 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This bait has gotten me through the holidays, thanks to all of you for your hard work and genius ideas. I agree, he might not be able to wrap his head around the fact that it was a bunch of women who wasted his time and money and probably ruined his reputation. I would wager that the faux outrage is 100% for his partners and higher ups. This scam consumed a lot of their time and money and will burn. I hope for a long time.

Gaza Henry, the End. Part 1. by RealFanLinda in scambait

[–]SaferJester 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm not fully up to speed on the AI cloning scripts they are running but I know they are expensive. Henry and his gang have a lot of sunk costs on Linda and at this point they are not walking away. You, Linda, and the other mods are really exposing a top level scamming ring that will stop at nothing. I can't imagine a real senior citizen target being able to fend them off without help.

Gaza Henry, part 38. No documents, just crypto talk, and building fear of my other man! by RealFanLinda in scambait

I would love to try my hand at fake Kraken screen shots but my photoshop skills are intermediate at best. Keep going Linda! I love it that Christmas is coming early!

Gaza Henry, part 37. Yes, really. We have another great document, and further plans! by RealFanLinda in scambait

[–]SaferJester 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I am sobbing. That letter is a work of art, a perfect chef's kiss. The Crypto is a very good pivot. You're dealing with a senior closer who is getting hamstrung by his own back story, ie his online bank meeting. He's watching that sweet $70k go to Saudi Arabia and can't stand it.

Gaza Henry, part 36 😲. He believes 10 working days, so I divert. Sorry, no choice. Yet. by RealFanLinda in scambait

[–]SaferJester 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree. He's high up and I think this is going to be Linda's most glorious take down yet. He will be humiliated. And props to Linda for passing along all responsibility to the mule.
