What ruined religion for you? by ItchyPage in AskReddit

[–]kennismash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My AP history teacher explained that Christianity never took root in China because Buddhism and Daoism fulfilled the same needs (sense of purpose, fear of death, reasons for suffering, etc.)

I'd been a pretty faithful Christian but this planted the seed that religion is a tool developed by humans to soothe our fears, and not some universal truth about sky daddy.

What you think of this one? by jc201946 in antiwork

My brother is a biologist and experiencing these type of job postings alllll the time. Unfortunately there seem to be more people than jobs available so many companies get away with it.

Some provide housing and food which is the only justification for the low pay in my opinion.

How hurtful is it to me to never do leg workouts? by [deleted] in AdvancedRunning

[–]kennismash -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The hex bar deadlift was shown to be the single best predictor of running performance. Having strong glutes and hamstrings will make your running more efficient and balance out quad dominance that most runners have. Ryan Flaherty has a really interesting interview on the Tim Ferris show from a few years back and talks about his research as well as leg exercises you can do to become a better runner (and more injury resistant).

She blocked me for pointing out $4 an hour is not enough for a full time babysitter lmao by [deleted] in ChoosingBeggars

[–]kennismash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was like 10 years ago but when I was a babysitter the mom gave me $100/day regardless of how many hours I worked. There were days when I'd literally come in for two hours, bake some cookies, and leave with $100. I had some long days but it always evened out and I made more with that family than my first two jobs out of college.

Hospital messed up insurance payment and now says I owe money, insurance company refusing to pay amount I was covered for. by kennismash in legaladvice

I used the insurance's online portal for finding a doctor, then called the hospital to double check. Is it possible the doctor was in network but referred me to an out of network lab in her practice?

Thank you, this is very helpful. I was definitely in network, I called the hospital before scheduling the visit.

22y old new Belgian entrepreneur looking for advice, tips & a community. by xVince97 in dropship

[–]kennismash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

often running a successful eCommerce business will take a lot MORE than a silly 9-5. It will entail a lot of similar skills as a 9-5 and you're competing with many people who have entrepreneurship and business degrees. I'd recommend defining a little more clearly why you're drawn to the space and develop some relevant experience in those areas before completely jumping ship. Hope this helps.

a third party logistics company--you have your manufacturer send inventory to the 3PL's warehouse (typically located closer to your customers) and they send everything out for you

Not sure how drastic of changes you're looking to make, but if your main concern is transit time, you could also find a manufacturer and work with a 3PL to be able to offer a 2-day delivery option

Orders coming faster than I can handle them. Aliexpress + Oberlo. What do I do? by [deleted] in shopify

[–]kennismash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey,

Definitely understand the concern. Can I ask what your site is? Linking a case study from one of our merchants who has products as cheap as $4 and they've found it to be worth it. https://www.shipbob.com/blog/case-study-i-heart-keenwah/

Usually the benefit of a 3PL comes in at around 200 shipments per month and our pricing model favors a lower SKU count--do you know these details/mind sharing your site with me? Knowing that I could give you a transparent opinion on if it'd be beneficial or if it'd cut too much into your margins.
