    Imminent Threat Survival

    NOTABLE! 
    Disagree.. Unless you think there's multiple attackers..like 3 or more. With one it's probably one of the best places to be. The attacker must enter the room and you know he's coming - 0 element of surprise His speed of entry is reduced as he must open the door himself. He enters what's...

    NOTABLE! SLOWLANE EXECUTION 
    I left a job that paid me way too much to ride around in helicopters and dodge mortars..not a forever job but a well paying one if I took different contracts with the company. I'm no thoroughbred but my revenue is approaching my old salary now.

    The Bitcoin: A New World Currency?

    haha I never said you were supposed to nor do I understand what you said....if you said HTTPS you may have peaked my interest!. Just because I chime in on bitcoin threads doesn't mean I'm trying to rally money into it. I find bitcoin fascinating and "disruptive" and I've followed it since it...

    The Bitcoin: A New World Currency?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Quick post as I don't have much time to argue at the moment. It's open source so there really can't be "insiders" only people who got in early. Sure there are code writers that update the clients but a money grab would lead to a collapse on that chain and a value flow to a chain (client) that...

    FUNNY 
    Reminds me of a time when I was on a small salvage ship getting knocked around by rough seas on our journey from S. Korea to HK. A few guys were laying around the galley being worthless because they were "sea sick". My Chief walks up to them, tells them to F*cking grow a pair and to tie a barf...

    Getting More Feedback on Amazon - Feedback Five?

    PEOPLE 
    I thought you meant after they've made a purchase to then offer a discount or free products. Upon further thought you probably meant offering free items upfront. Giving products to customers for feedback is authorized as far as I know. I based my statement off of this "You may request feedback...

    Getting More Feedback on Amazon - Feedback Five?

    PEOPLE 
    Yes, you can import orders up to 200 days old. I use it as well and think it helps up the reviews a good bit. If you're getting 10% that's pretty ridiculous already. I'm nowhere close to that

    8 Eyewear: From Idea, to Launch, to Growth (And Quitting the Job)

    IDEA 
    :rockon: Nice one. Would be pretty sick to have a photo shoot with those and a bronze watch..preferably Panerai. If I remember correctly you're in a handful of retailers. Do you pursue them much or just let them come to you? Great update. Happy for you man.

    Affordable Health Insurance for Entrepreneurs?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I once got punched in the mouth so hard that my tooth ripped a giant hole in my cheek. I was with a Marine who said I needed to get it taken care of so he drove me to the VA. After a long wait the Dr. comes stumbling over, yawning, and with a giant needle in her hand. I must have interrupted her...
