    Interesting. We have a combo of light and heavy skus (3oz - 50lb), so we'll go with a combo of what you suggested plus weight based levels. (based on what some of our competitors are doing) Also... How do you handle carrier pickup notification? We're trying to automate everything at the...

    GOLD! 
    How do you setup your shipping on the customer side? Like the rates and timeframes. I talked with a shipstation rep and he said people don't usually show the live rates. Instead they have set params depending on box size/weight, and work off of that. Sometimes getting break even and even profit...

    Post a job offering and let people bid. The search isn't a good representation the applicants. I hired a woman once from the Philippines to do lead gen for $5/hr + bonus. She was better than half of the native English speakers.

    UpWork VAs work fine. I read a story recently, where someone hired a VA to find VAs. To take the requirements the owner needed, then screen applicants.

    You can buy a separate full scale keyboard for $10 and apply macros to it. Then buy kb stickers you can run through your printer. The Elgato recommendation makes no sense.

    Uncovering ideas, developing effective solutions, marketing, networking. Art for sure. Perhaps scaffolding or framework would be better words, than formulas.

    Stating the obvious... He's not starting with a truck and $100. He's starting with a truck, $100, and 20 years of experience. That's like taking Ronaldo (top soccer player), and putting him on the Canadian national team. He doesn't lose his striking skills in the transfer. He doesn't have the...

    Diet: One of the absolute best upgrades for performance and mood.

    Tried varying the dosage between those as well, and same thing. I was thinking it was the vitamin A, commonly found in fish oils, since that can cause heart problems when taking too much...

    Totally agree. There was another study alluding to omega 3's having the opposite effect, and increasing heart attack risks. (can't find it) But, too much Omega 3's can have negative effects, like blood thinning. In college, I tried taking the supplements, at the lowest available does. 1000mg...

    Interesting new study on omega 3 supplements. Still good, but not the miracle substance it was once made out to be. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/07/180717194558.htm tldr: Get your omega 3s from actual foods rather than processed substances. Like nuts. The fish oils are...

    Equifax is paying you $125 if you were affected by the 2017 breach

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Looks like it's more for hard evidence, with a paper trail. Like a bill from your attorney or accountant. Or anything you paid to the credit agencies themselves for freezes, lookups, etc. As @ChrisV mentioned, you'd need to go for a personal suit to claim psychological impacts.

    Chances are, most of our SSNs and personal data are in the wild. You have banks, lenders, car companies, terribly managed websites, and paper files with our info in all corners of the US. At this point it's better to have a "when" not "what if," plan.

    Read the FTC doc above. If you were actually affected. IE. You have documents proving distress (like being notified someone opened a CC in your name), identity theft, and even just time on the phone with customer service to resolve the problem (You can bill them by the hour). You can claim much...

    Nearly half the US was affected by this. Check if your name, and friends and family is on there. https://eligibility.equifaxbreachsettlement.com/en/eligibility Takes less than 5 min to file a claim. If you need credit monitoring (a requirement to file the claim), credit karma is a good site to use.
