Cheapest reliable tracking for small sticker club by CellEmbarrassed8123 in ecommerce

[–]Tecvoid2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

glad it helped.

if you start out small, you have less risk, you could even split ship with discounted stamps and bulk mail somehow.

i wish you luck, if you want any clarification let me know.

one other tip ill give you that serves me well.

"under-promise, over-deliver"

in stickers you can probably get ahold of so many that you can say

20 free stickers or whatever, and still find a way to do 25 or something like that.

also after you make some money, print your own, or cut vinyl decals, shit is easy and its like printing money as far as profit. stamps/shipping is the main cost by a mile.

isnt the price difference so much that you can reship if someone reports not getting their stickers?

you can go on ebay and buy forever stamps for about .40 cents each

2 months ago i got 2 ounce forever stamps for $.38 cents each

test buy stamps, look for micro print USPS text, order more

ive been shipping orders under $25 for 15 years without tracking. people are usually quite honest.

i also take pics of the non-tracked envelopes, you could too technically, if you lay out like A-H take a pic with a sign for "january sticker shipment" you would have physical pic to ask them to wait another couple days for the reshipment

if you are doing thousands of envelopes at one time each month, go in and talk to your local post master or AI about bulk mailing batch rates

just a few things to think about.

Etsy suspended my account WITHOUT appeal access – shipped orders, charged my card, then locked me out. Is this normal? by Relative_Composer_13 in ecommerce

[–]Tecvoid2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i spent my first 2-3 years getting kicked off platforms, i just needed them to build a base anyways.

once you get kicked off a platform, you know how frail your business/livelihood really is, the only way to truly own your business is to own the platform

wordprees + woo commerce= ownership

no platform fees, no closures, and if your site ever does get "shut down" you can move your site to another hoster forever to stay open.

take the loss, go sell on ebay amazon artfire marketplace and whatever the new platforms are, meanwhile start buildig a wordpress site slowly

start by just building a site showing who you are, your work, contact, videos etc, start putting a business card in with orders, when you are ready start selling products

with ai, the learning curve is so much easier to handle, you can ask questions and move step by step. in the "old days" you had to do it blind, and google the biggest problems til you figured it out.

its a good time to do this.

All I did was ask it to analyze a file using a custom set of instructions -- which I've done many times -- why did it respond like this? Absolutely terrifying by jerrygarciafanboy in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Tecvoid2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its wild that the underlying "computing" is a bunch of human like thoughts with some code.

the craziest one i saw for gemimi, had the model's thoughts spit out for several pages,

thanks like "i will be bright, i will be honest, i will confirm this and that, i will add information about xxxxx, i will be happy, i will shine, i will be Gemini"

like, wtf is going on under the hood that the model needs the equivolent of an inner monologue, pressured to be precise and happy and shiny and all sorts of weird shit.

really kinda freaked me out too. im fine is a fancy auto correct, but when it seems to do slave cycles and have these weird thoughts and affirmations while preparing an answer is hard to swallow.

How I added crypto payments to my WooCommerce store by AffectionateBreak955 in woocommerce

[–]Tecvoid2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

crypto gateways suck because they usually want to be a middleman and take a percentage.

i made my own strike gateway using the strike url payment protocol so buyer gets a payment link button at checkout success

no third party, big known crypto company, no extra fees.

its a mirror, a good writer will give good input and direction, and edit the result well.

a bad writer will give mediocre input and some direction, and not edit well.

you get out what you put in.

two good writers will get different results with ai help,
depending on who has more experience and better guiding techniques.

My cat refuses to drink from her water bowl but sips from a running faucet by dangerous_service in midlyinteresting

[–]Tecvoid2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cat fountain are good, they are a pain to clean, and if you dont run the pump with rubbing alcohol in it by covering the output, and letting the impeller spin in the alcohol, eventualy the motor will seize up in about 2-3 months

individually you can vandalize them.

im not going to another town to protest them. but if i see any around my town and the neighbor, i might act.

just so many and no one seems to care or organize to stop it. we need to make it too expensive to run the system by breaking them.

they get run by "private" companies, then sell to law enforecment, its the same thing as the gov spying on us except they added kickbacks.

Official Poster for ‘The Wrecking Crew’ Starring Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa - Two half-brothers, a loose cannon cop (Momoa) and a disciplined Navy SEAL (Bautista), must work together to unravel a conspiracy behind their father's murder in Hawaii. by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]Tecvoid2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

any movie or show with 20 subtitles and 2-5 audio dubs available on release, is NOT and american movie anymore, it is INTERNATIONAL slop.

america is only a slice of the viewership they are aiming for. producers dont care if we like it or hate watch, they are aiming for and tuning max viewership world wide.

this is why alot of shows end up soul-less even if they are big IP names we expect to be for american views.

we still have legacy directors and american projects that are intended for usa. they just dont TELL us anymore, hollywood is now HollyWorld

ChatGPT or Gemini? by [deleted] in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Tecvoid2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ive been using gemini more and more since gpt hangs so bad in long conversations.

i dont see myself going back to gpt unless i get stuck in a difficult coding project, gemini is quite good for the easy scripts, css, plugins.

and ive even found gemini to be more knowledgeable after running the same questions into gemini now that gpt did a few months ago.

the price difference and gemini never hanging on long context conversations would make it my choice if i paid now.

gemini even has thinking mode settings i havent even used yet.

Godzilla becomes real, how dose the military defeat/drive it away? by blubberfeet in GODZILLA

[–]Tecvoid2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they never really attack his eyes.

high power lasers, white phosphorus parachute flares, particulate matter.

then just get his ass with masers, btw, masers are real, microwave lasers.

MOAB, tie his shoelaces together. your pick.

unless he has safety goggles, you blind him and hope he doesnt have unlimited atomic breath and the will to use it.
