Nathan Jensen (@_Nathan_Jensen) reported@2mmsme @glitchtoriches Hahaha. Yeah, there's no way Amazon actually packaged a PC like that. If they did, it was broken before the driver even touched it.

Luke Hallard (@7LukeHallard) reportedEarnings season hits Wall Street Wildlife this week — Rocket Lab reports, a tiny Long Island radio company is swinging triple digits, and Krzysztof is literally fighting for his life against Polish mosquitoes the size of scorpions. Two stocks, two very different risk profiles, one question: are these stories real — or just great narratives with no orders behind them? 🚀 $RKLB earnings preview: the ONE number Luke is watching that will make or break the bull case — and it's not revenue 📊 Rocket Lab's backlog hit $2.2B — but operating margins are getting *worse*. How does that math work? 🎯 Luke breaks down the Neutron rocket timeline: already slipped twice, and R&D costs are exploding. Has it slipped again? 🤖 $AMPG — a tiny Long Island radio company with NVIDIA and Amazon logos on its website. Genius move or red flag? 🌐 Why the giants (Ericsson, Nokia, Huawei) literally cannot compete with AmpliTech in this niche — the answer is weirder than you think 💀 Krzysztof admits he didn't drill into the fine print before buying — and the stock promptly doubled, then gave it all back

Phil Williams (@montaillacman) reported@CarolineBignell Be careful with that stuff. Amazon had a problem up at Gidy in the Loire and near Valencia in Spain where parcels were disappearing. We lost a couple in Gidy. We’ve seen Gendarmes at a vide grenier near us going through parcels like this and taking them, and the sellers away.

Daniel (@NerdHerder9001) reported@larata_media @EndymionYT Having one source of backup offsite on someone else’s server is not a wise backup solution. Digital obviously is fine, but why is nobody using Amazon glacier and keeping some mechanical HDDs around? Rule of three people.

Evan Swanson (@Evan_Swanson_) reportedEveryone panics when they see "active Amazon sellers down 30%." Wrong reaction! Active sellers dropped from 2.4 million in 2021 to 1.65 million by end of 2025. New seller signups down 73% from peak. Looks like the platform is dying. Now look underneath. 3P sellers moved 62% of all units sold, an all-time high. Over 100,000 sellers are clearing $1M+ a year, nearly double 2021. Traffic per active seller up 31%. Fewer players. More revenue each. This isn't a shrinking market. It's a consolidating one. The weak accounts running the 2020 playbook are getting weeded out. Everyone else is picking up their share.

Bev&Jake In Pittsburgh (@BeverlySimcic) reportedDO I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT WHAT I'M TELLING YOU IS ABSOLUTE TRUTH? NO I DON'T, BUT BASED ON MY KNOWLEDGE OF BEING ON THE NET SINCE 1990, HAVING SEVERAL BUSINESS VENTURES WITH PEOPLE WHO WERE CUTTING EDGE BACK THEN, AND TODAY ARE WORKING FOR ENTITIES LIKE GOOGLE,ETC., I CAN SAY THAT MY ABILITY TO SEARCH AND FIND AND INVESTIGATE IS PRETTY DAMN SOLID. I SHOP FROM MANY DIFFERENT SOURCES ON THE NET, AND YES, I'VE BEEN STUNG, AS MANY OF YOU HAVE TOO I'M SURE. HUBS GOT STUNG ONCE, HE'LL NEVER BUY FROM ANOTHER BLOWN UP HYPE AD FOR ANYTHING. I WILL SAY THIS WITHOUT ANY DOUBTS.... AMAZON IS THE SAFEST PLACE TO SHOP TODAY, THEY WILL BACK ANY FRAUD WITH ZEST AND VIGOR, I CAN ASSURE YOU THEY WILL. THEY'VE MAINTAINED A MAGNIFICENT REPUTATION THAT WAY. AND HAVING OWNED SEVERAL BUSINESSES SINCE 1980, I CAN TELL YOU THE DETERIORATION OF ETHICS IS RADICAL TODAY. I'M WITH 'MR. WONDERFUL' ON THAT ISSUE, AS HE DOES DO BUSINESS WITH KNOWN INTEGRITY. ONCE YOU DON'T, TODAY THE WORD SPREADS LIKE WILDFIRE. SO, IT IS BEST TO DO BIZ WITH INTEGRITY AND HONESTLY, EAT YOUR MISTAKES AND MOVE ON, AND BE GOOD TO YOUR CUSTOMERS, IT ALL PAYS OFF. MY PURPOSE FOR THIS POST RIGHT NOW IS A WARNING FOR ALL WHO DON'T KNOW THIS.......ESPECIALLY WOMEN, BECAUSE WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR GREAT CLOTHING! I DON'T WANT TO ACCUSE CHINA, BUT I WILL SAY THAT THEY HAVE A REPUTATION FOR THIS STUFF, AND IT'S NOW A SERIOUS SERIOUS THING. THEY ARE FAKING ADDRESSES FOR U.S. BOUTIQUES TO FOOL YOU INTO THINKING THEY HAVE A BOUTIQUE LOCATION HERE, AN TO GIVE YOU A FALSE FEELING OF BEING ABLE TO CONTACT THEM. BEST THING TO DO WITH THESE CUTE LITTLE BOUTIQUES POPPING UP ALL OVER IS GOOGLE THE ADDRESS AND SEE IF IT EXISTS. THEY ARE MAKING UP STORIES LIKE 'BACK IN THE SIXTIES MY FRIEND AND I ESTABLISHED OUR STORE'....IT'S SO BLATANT IT'S CRAZY. ONE I FOUND THIS MORNING SHOWS A BUILDING WITH A TREE BLOCKING THE NAME......YOU KNOW, I FEEL SORRY FOR THESE OPPRESSED PEOPLE WHO ARE PROBABLY STARVING THAT THEY HAVE TO DO THINGS LIKE THIS, I DO. BUT YOU MUST REALIZE THAT IT'S BECOME THEIR BRAND, AND LATELY NOBODY WANTS THEIR BRAND ANYMORE. THEIR BRAND HAS BECOME KNOWN AS FAKE AND FRAUD. I AM SO SORRY FOR THEM.

Charles R Coffey II (@Coffey3C1) reported@Immy_220 No. I think I could fix lot of problems with three or four million. More than that, I'd have less use for. Of course, I just went looking for a hardbacked book on Amazon. They want $325.00 for it. So, I may have to change my mind.

Greg Brian (@Gregoriancant) reportedFortunately, I know various people at Amazon who act as Learning Ambassadors. And one of them will likely re-train me for first hour to make sure I have all the apps down. I haven’t really forgotten anything, even if I temporarily blanked on a couple of ship dock terms last week.

Arsyde (@Arsyde_) reported@daniel_wwf Unfortunately thats how the world currently works. People will pay to gain access to things they feel is valuable or useful. This has been proven time and time again thru ETH and BTC. If you have participated in other ecosystems you could easily see that. NFTs on ETH is just one of many examples. People will pay the fee(s). XRPL fees are already low... asking a one time reserve of 1 XRP for an account is reasonable. Cost of entry has never been a barrier for 99% of people engaging. Its already an issue that people who are in eco are NOT participating. I really dont believe lowering the fees is going to get them or new individuals to participate. I wonder if the rate or number of dormant accounts decreased since the reserve was reduced 90% from 10 to 1 XRP. If all the News agencies simultaneously announced THE XRPL RESERVES HAVE BEEN LOWERED.... I dont know that anyone would care. But if they announced YOU CAN NOW DO X, Y, AND Z ON THE XRPL... I bet you more people would be interested on what you can do vs the reserves. If I could compare this to the real world... Think of Spotify, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+ being their own crypto networks, each providing their own features and tool sets. They made it valuable for people to put not a temporary, but a permanent account fee every month to use their network. In this instance their network of videos, music, etc. Honestly though, Id probably vote to completely remove the reserve if it were lowered to 0.1 XRP. Lowering it that low, in my opinion defeats the purpose to begin with. What the fudge is 10cents going to do. I've answered all your questions, including why there aren't 100s of apps on the XRPL. You didnt try to rebuttal any of them either, instead just went on to ask another question or stated something else. There are reasons why activity is low, but reserves aren't one of them. On other note.. you saying dope doesnt roll. It ain't your style, just be yourself.

Higher_waska (@JethroArnaiz) reported@RJB28780610 @paleochristcon @IanMalcolm84 You say it's deflection then concede the point? Then revert back to the eugenics fantasy. Have you ever wondered why Norway doesn't have an immigration problem? Might be something to do with them being 50% unionized and amazon workers paid £25 an hour not £10 like in Uk.

Songanta (@HaileSelasie13) reportedThe AI bubble might not be popping. It might just be changing where the money goes. Software looked like the first obvious winner. AI was supposed to make SaaS companies more efficient, improve margins and give the whole sector another growth cycle. Then agents became good enough for investors to start asking a much uglier question: if an AI agent can do more of the work, how many software seats do companies actually need? That changed the trade fast. Software got hit hard, but the money didn’t leave the AI story. It moved further down the chain. Silver became part of the narrative because data centers, electrification and hardware all need more physical inputs. The move became extreme, pushed above $100, then gave back a huge part of the rally. After that, semiconductors became the clearest bottleneck. GPUs, HBM, foundries, packaging. Anything tied to compute was treated like supply would stay tight for years. Even that started to crack. Chip stocks went through a major selloff this summer, then recovered hard. The trade didn’t disappear, but the market clearly stopped treating every part of it the same. Dhaval Joshi at BCA has a useful way of looking at this. Instead of one giant AI bubble, we may be watching a series of smaller bubbles move through different parts of the same buildout. That makes the next part more interesting. The biggest AI companies are still spending aggressively. Alphabet, Amazon and Meta are still pushing huge amounts of money into infrastructure. So there is no real sign yet that the buildout itself is slowing. The harder problem is becoming physical capacity. GPUs can be ordered. Power plants, transformers, substations, cooling systems and high-speed networking take much longer to add. That is why companies that used to look like boring industrial names are starting to sit right in the middle of the AI trade. Gas turbine orders are rising fast. Grid equipment is getting tighter. Power management and cooling are becoming much more important. AI started as a software story, then became a chip story. The next big trade may end up being much less glamorous: turbines, transformers, electrical equipment and the rest of the physical infrastructure needed to keep all of this running. The money may not be leaving AI. It may just be moving to the next shortage.

Dr. Valerie Thomas (@Valerie32844654) reported@1True_American_ No. But, you had better say it respectfully. One morning, I was getting dressed to go to class when the Spirit of the Lord reminded me again that I could not work while going to school. I angrily yelled out, l know that! He immediately said, YOU BETTER LEARN HOW TO TALK TO ME! I asked for his forgiveness. To this day it brings tears to my eyes because I hurt him. There are some other instances where I can prove that he is not always “a gentleman” when it comes to his correcting our misbehavior as written in the book l wrote. He told me to write the book “Going Deeper in God.” In a vision, l saw the book rolled down from heaven like a scroll already titled, designed and finished. It teaches us how to walk through life with God available on Amazon.

"Million-Step Ron's" Common Sense Fitness (@RonStelter) reportedI’ve walked a lot for many years-probably at least 35 years. I kick myself now because I never really tracked my steps until about two years ago. (I think the total number of steps I have walked in my life is probably well over 100 million steps.) Two years ago, I purchased a 20-dollar, low-tech step counter from Amazon and found it to be extremely motivating to try to get as many steps as possible. However, I still never started recording my step counts until April 2025. Since then, I have written my step counts down every day. It’s all very “low-tech”: I have my Amazon step counter, then come home and write it down in a Word doc and publish it to X. (I actually even “underrecord” my steps since I don’t usually wear my step counter around my home.)

Lotta Dots (@RogerBlumberg) reported_ Wow, what a head-banger! Many of us already know that calling (and granting) Islam merely a “Religion” is a wildly inaccurate and problematic “category error”, and we couldn’t understand how on earth such an error could be made and perpetuated. The answer turns out to be painfully simple: Simply MISTRANSLATE *one* word — *Deen* — en masse and for a century, and everything else follows from that. 2026 Book by Elaine Ellinger “The Deen Fallacy: How the West Came to Misclassify Islam—Cause, Consequence, and Correction” $8 Kindle at Amazon _

Dishant Jain (@imdishant_j) reported@AmazonHelp @amazonIN @jagograhakjago Why are customers penalized for delivery failures? Most customers won’t even notice this deduction. The withheld fee is only half the problem; the bigger failure is your inability to actually fulfill the order.#ConsumerProtection #AmazonIndia

Crypto Jargon (@Crypto_Jargon) reportedTHIS IS THE PART OF THE AI STORY NOBODY WANTS TO SAY OUT LOUD. 🚨 Nvidia is helping round up half a trillion dollars. Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman, KKR. All in, to fund the AI buildout. Here's the part that should stop you. The same handful of companies are on every side of the table. Nvidia sells the chips. OpenAI buys them. Microsoft and Google fund OpenAI and its rivals. Amazon and Broadcom sell the infrastructure underneath all of it. Then the profits, or the promise of profits, cycle back into more chip orders. Nobody outside this circle is really deciding where the money goes. The same six or seven names keep showing up as buyer, seller, and investor in the same deals. And the debt is climbing to match it. AI-linked bonds went from $2.4 billion in 2020 to $15.5 billion last year. That's not a rounding error. That's an industry quietly switching from selling a product to selling paper. Ask the obvious question. If the demand for AI is really as bottomless as everyone keeps saying, why does the ecosystem need half a trillion dollars raised just to keep expanding. Real demand pays for itself. This is an industry financing its own customers so the growth chart doesn't stall. Every bubble in history had insiders who saw the money moving in a circle and called it a flywheel until the day it wasn't.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedLatam ecommerce passed $191B but most sellers still learn about a bad review or stockout hours after the damage is done. Built Tropelia to fix that — AI agents on Mercado Libre, Amazon and Shopify watching listings and acting in seconds, not hours. Live soon.

Trevor Abroad (@trevor_abroad) reportedAfter my dive into Japan (after quitting corpo life the first time) I ventured into the heart of the Peruvian Amazon to try another bucket list item: the ayahuasca experience. I sensed it would be a pivotal experience, like Ron White’s - which led him to sobriety. It was a complete underestimation, and hands down the most hardcore lived experience I have ever encountered. First night - went from a lost agnostic, to a conscious version of myself where I finally comprehended Christ and the inevitability of a life after death… I sensed a new chapter was about to begin. The second night rocked me, taking second most significant experience to being born. Because I actually died, full ego death, and had to come to terms with my life up to that moment. And in a moment of absolute ego shattering realism, I made a promise - that if I could survive the night, I wouldn’t take my life for granted. That I would prioritize my mind and body, build a life in relationships (first repairing the self), and much more. I’m the same person. But the “fork in the road” option I took for my way of living created a new life arc I wouldn’t gladly paid any price for. Bc in that ego death I was shown (and comprehended) what it was like to lose it all. Money, reputation, pride, accomplishment, potential, and ultimately - my last breath. I ended up giving that “last breath” repeatedly, for hours. That, my friends. Is an ego death. Never to take it all for granted ever again.
