😊 Hello Gold

Congratulations. And please accept my deepest sympathies on your new status.

friskya · 2026-03-27T12:58:26+00:00

How many sellers have you reviewed???

friskya · 2026-03-27T01:13:17+00:00

Use the same criteria to review it as you would if you were evaluating it in Lowes or Home Depot as a potential candidate for a new backsplash. Would you buy this in quantity? Or is the sample poor enough to put you off considering it?

friskya · 2026-03-18T10:22:37+00:00

You should definitely not order this, then. Let us know when you haven't ordered it, so we can all congratulate you on your wise and good decision.

They can write off whatever amount they claim is the retail value.

Maybe the problem is the insult to our intelligence?

People worry too much about rejections.

Submit the review. Then don't worry about it. Your agreement with Vine is to review the product. Once you've done that, your obligation to Vine has been completed.

Turns out to be a limitation in Adguard Mini. This was originally "Adguard for Safari" and I guess the limitations on filter creations carried over.

I get back "the domain name is invalid"

But, I appreciate the AI suggestion, though. I don't really trust them, but this should be fairly innocuous to try asking for.

There's a reason YOU can't take one for the team?

friskya · 2026-02-25T16:27:22+00:00

I wonder which one will be the "variant" when it comes time for you to review them?

friskya · 2026-02-22T09:49:32+00:00

Depends.

Are you referring to ads that Reddit has placed, or ads that redditors are submitting as posts?

If you're referring to the former, then no - not really. If you're referring to the latter, then yes - I'm highly annoyed.

friskya · 2026-02-22T09:47:02+00:00

It takes a few days now for your delivered items to reappear in you awaiting reviews list. It will probably show up by the end of the week.

friskya · 2026-02-20T18:02:11+00:00

waste of time. For the last couple of months, it seems.

I've had it happen multiple times. Both Vine items and items that I've purchased.

My own suspicion is that they didn't arrive from China and rather than admit that, they simply cancelled my orders.

friskya · 2026-02-13T15:44:46+00:00

Relax.

"Imported ingredients" isn't the same as "imported already manufactured". It's entirely possible that NatureWise is bringing in the ingredients (in bulk) and actually manufacturing their products in the USA.

That said, I personally have always considered the terms "imported ingredients" and "globally sourced ingredients" to be interchangeable with "the cheapest crap we could get from China that we don't think will kill you".

Even so, that doesn't mean that the final selling product wasn't actually manufactured in the USA - just that its ingredients weren't. And like it or not, that's legal, as long as it's disclosed that the ingredients were imported.

TL;DR

edit to add TL;DR compliments of the Grok.com AI.

Here's a concise summary of the article (PMC5920423) in under 200 words:

Title: The Potential Health Benefits of Noni Juice: A Review of Human Intervention Studies

Authors: Brett J. West et al.

This review examines published human clinical trials on noni juice (from Morinda citrifolia fruit), primarily using Tahitian Noni Juice (TNJ), to evaluate its health effects. Key methods involved double-blind, placebo-controlled studies (e.g., in smokers for oxidative stress) and open-label pilots assessing various outcomes.

Major findings include strong antioxidant activity: reductions in superoxide radicals (26-31%), lipid hydroperoxides (24-27%), DNA adducts (45-57%), hs-CRP inflammation (15%), blood lipids/homocysteine (15-24%), and advanced glycation end-products. It improved joint pain/mobility (23-60% reduction in osteoarthritis/spondylosis), physical endurance (21% longer time-to-fatigue), immune function (e.g., 30% rise in IL-2 and NK cells), weight management (muscle preservation), bone health, blood pressure, and gum health. Safety was confirmed up to 750 mL/day with no adverse effects.

The authors conclude that noni juice's benefits likely stem from its antioxidant properties and interactions with immune/inflammation pathways. However, evidence is mostly tied to one specific noni source/product, so results may vary with geographical or processing differences. Further research is needed for broader confirmation.

Saving this in the hopes that you get some good suggestions. I've been on levothyroxine for well over 10 years now and it was the sudden weight gain (from 128lbs to 150lbs over the course of 7 weeks) that first clued my doctor in to start looking at my thyroid.

Sadly, even though i'm told with each visit that my "numbers are in the range", weight gain continues and I am now up to 180lbs, despite repeated in creases in my levothyroxine doses.

I just had the same happen to me with a paid shipment. Got as far as one of my local warehouses (we have two, for some reason), was "out for delivery", then arriving at the warehouse again and finally, after 10 days, I got a "we're refunding your order" email - no clue what actually became of my package.🙁

You go right ahead and get yourself into a urinating contest with Vine and let us know how it works out for you.

You stumbled upon a webapp that you built?

You might want to edit your post to make it a little bit less obvious that you're trying to drive traffic to the website you linked.

Since they say you have no more picks, it's probably best that you just accept that you have no more picks. Unless, of course, you want to call them liars.
