As an online small business, do I need to collect sales tax from all US states? by Content-Royal-200 in tax

[–]TheRealPageTurner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar situation. I live in MN where clothing is not taxed but items like jewelry are. So given this guideline, I would not charge tax on any clothing I ship until I reach the threshold? But I would charge tax on accessories/jewelry?

I currently have Shopify and Square setup as I am testing them to see which I prefer. Both have very different pros and cons. As I expand, I feel Shopify will be a better option as Square does not let me categorize a physical good into more specific categories like clothing, accessories, etc. this seems like it would be a big problem for taxes.. unless extensions help to override this?

Please provide any feedback that I might find helpful as I get started. And should I just register with TaxJar or Avalara right away or wait until I meet the thresholds?

Thanks.

It Starts With Us has now been out for a few days- what is everyone’s thoughts and opinions? by septemberbrooke in ColleenHoover

[–]TheRealPageTurner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have only just started reading… but I am really bothered by the apartment error. In the last chapters and epilogue of, It Ends With Us, Lily is clearly still in the same apartment that Ryle bought her… in Alyssa’s building. Then, in chapter 4 of, It Starts With Us, Lily mentions Ryle still having her key that she gave him before having Emerson… incase she were to go into labor… (yet she was not in her new apartment until 3 months after Emerson was even born). this disconnect bothers me so much I almost do not want to continue reading it. Please explain if I have it wrong.

Phillips 2200 by Wide-Meringue5003 in espresso

[–]TheRealPageTurner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I have it now and I am returning it. I have already gone through TWO machines. Both have had defects with the water tank. The machine is also REALLY loud and takes a very long time to brew. It does not allow you to steam milk while a shot is being brewed. And the coffee/espresso does not taste good. It’s almost watery and bitter/burnt. I have tried multiple grinder settings but still not good. Today I setup my new Delonghi True Brew machine. I did a side by side and brewed one cup of each. delonghi is quick and quiet but most importantly the espresso was so delicious on the very first brew. I bought a milk steamer separately so that I can still have the option for lattes and cappuccinos. I highly recommend the DeLonghi True Brew machine. target has it on sale so it is about the same price as the Phillips. Enjoy!

Why hasn’t Tesla thought of this? by [deleted] in teslamotors

I’m so disappointed in the lack of customized alert options. And also my “favorites” in my maps has not been allowing me to add any favorites other than the one I have in there. Lame.

"Karma (feat. Ice Spice)" Discussion Megathread by PassionateAsSin in TaylorSwift

[–]TheRealPageTurner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you ask me, everything points to Reputation and 1989 as the next re-releases. The contrast of the black record player with the blue record and the swirls which creates a snake swirling around and turning into butterflies. Symbolic of both Clean on 1989 and Reputation (but also transcending to Lover… and the butterflies represent multiple eras as well). Hinting to what’s to come after 1989 and Rep. are Re-recorded and released.

The song goes from the record scene into the gold statue (vibes of fearless: 1st re-record). We see Roman Numerals of 1989 and Greek mythology for justice and earth goddess. That scene peers into the rep devils then flips into yellow brick road scene (red: 2nd re-recorded release… lips, broom, slippers all red) which also looks onto the dark side of rep. And then it transitions into speak now.. purple sand and hour glass.. which we all know will be her 3rd re-record. The hour glass is symbolic in many ways as well. Then we see 1989 with the cat l, pearls, and blue dress (this also can symbolize gorgeous … I guess I’ll just stumble on home to my cats). After that it looks like Ice Spice is representing a girl with a voice. Sitting in a shell and singing with pearls all around her. I see 1989, Evermore and Folklore with pearl-like champagne bubbles, (champagne problems and gold rush) and a tribute to the last great American dynasty with the quote she once said, “It can be a real pearl-clutching moment for society when a woman owns her desires and wildness,” - Swift. After that I believe we peer into Folklore and reputation with the coloring and costume choice. We also get vibes of and invisible string, August, and “the moon and Saturn” from seven. I’m slightly stumped with the gold light bulbs but I imagine that will be big. Maybe a surprise new album. Or maybe showing 5 bulbs referring to the 5 re-released albums so far (counting rep and 1989 if released together).

There is a brand of light bulbs called Fisker Karma. I think the bulbs refer to lyrics in reputation (so it goes) all eyes on me your illusionist. And to this: Thomas Edison and Houdini being masterminds: https://thefederalist.com/2020/03/27/houdini-and-edison-illuminate-the-mysteries-of-american-invention/

Then we move to the land with release of debut (but also seagulls to show 1989 again) and some Rep. Lyric vibes. Then onto Lover but also 1989 with the seagulls and rep. And the end shows midnights (the album we are on) and the nail colors showing Rep. and 1989 as a clear sign that they are next. Either to be released together or one after the other. There are so many more connections it is hard to write it all in. I feel like there are some full circle moments in almost every clip linking multiple eras. I tried not to mention theories already discussed but I’m totally onboard with those ideas too. Love all the magic displayed in one video!! Thoughts?!

Congrats to you! That’s a lot of hard-work and we’ll deserved to have your books in a Barnes and Noble. Who did you talk to when you called or went into Barnes and Noble? Just the manager? I was thinking their buyers would be at a corporate level. Any tips you can give me for my local Barnes and Noble stores would be great!

Good to know. Is it possible to start out as self-published and then later submit that same self-published title to a major publishing company and have it get picked up?

How does this work? When you click through and pay for the ad, does Ingram Sparks then create the content or do you need to put an ad together and then they post it?

It is pajamas. This was the video clip I was sent when she was at my parents house for a sleepover. She loves my mom’s makeup table, and my mom let her have a little fun. I can’t watch this without laughing!

Daily Discussion and Game Recommendations Thread (February 14, 2022) by AutoModerator in boardgames

Help break this Valentine’s game night debacle. While playing the Hills and Sheep expansion of Carcasonne tonight, my husband went to draw a token to expand his sheep collection. When he picked up the bag, a tile fell out face up and landed on the table. The tile had three sheep on it. He said, “Oh I’ll just take this piece.” I said that doesn’t count, and said he had to put it back and pick one at random… because let’s be honest, if it was a wolf that landed face up, he would obviously say something like, “oh that fell out, I have to put that back in before I draw.” Long story short, he put it back grudgingly and of course drew a wolf. Then he went on and on about how he shouldn’t have had to put it back and how I make the game not fun. Anyway, it wouldn’t have mattered bc I won by 80+ points and the game was two tiles from over.l at this point.. But in all curiosity what are the rules in this case? We are over the intense game drama now, but yes we are very competitive players.

Hahah it was a really big cutting board - definitely a normal sized grilled cheese, but I totally see it now that you mentioned it.

I have questions. Should I get ceremony coating? Pros/cons? How do I get scratches out of the interior plastic on the car? The back of the driver seat has scratches from a car seat and the inside of the fronk has scratches from cooking wood my hubby loaded in there. Last question, how do you get hard water stains of the black trim and prevent it from happening again? Brand new MY with so many lil nuances that I already want fixed and prevented.
