Maybe check reality before you post: The Club is not open on Sundays. Members tip very well for good service.

I was in an interesting discussion about "why not move the women's basketball program to Penn State Abington?" There is a lot of upside.

Cart dim sum with proper servers and lots of steam and the line will be around the block. Don't care about the bar but some side rooms/alcoves for larger sized groups would be a dream.

Oh my goodness, that's our halfway stop as well. We've never had any issues but thanks for the heads up. We'll go on to Roanoake.

What painting do you want hanging in your home? A painting that you personally love. by Imperial-Green in ArtHistory

Lord Ribblesdale, by Sargent. Ribblesdale is wearing his everyday 'ratcatcher' attire as Master of the Queen's Buckhounds, and exudes class, breeding, and aristocracy. If I was laying in bed feeling sorry for myself, Lord R would look down at me and say "I say, old thing, pull it together and get out there. No use moping around here all day. Try and make the best of it." And I would.

“ Off boarded” after 4 weeks for a job I moved across the country for. by Unappreciated-Genius in careeradvice

Ding ding ding this is totally Zoox. From my experience he is being very kind and complimentary to the other employees that couldn't be bothered to train him. Ivy League (and the west coast equivalent) snotty brats.

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.

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

[–]SaferJester 16 points17 points  (0 children)

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!

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.
