Recently I ordered a soft toy from Amazon, its huge in actual size, like 3ft or something but Amazon had vacuum packed it to the size of a laptop. Since then I started wondering if I could use that.

I’m moving across country, normally I’d leave most of my clothes and blankets here because they are bulky and puffy and take up a lot of space. But in reality they are very light. And I always tend to travel light from the 50lb weight limit, it’s just that the clothes take up almost all of the space where I can’t push it any further.

So I was starting to consider if vacuum packing would be a good idea. In my mind if I can use that I can even compress my pillows and take them with me and then leave them in the sun for a couple days to let them stretch out.

Do the magic bags and vacuum bags sold on Amazon and Walmart do job effectively enough if anyone has experience with them.

The difference in my situation is that I do not have to pack the bags on the way back so I was considering purchasing a pump and bags separately, and then I could just leave the pump instead of half my stuff.

If anyone has other suggestions let me know as well.

Thanks a lot

Walmart, Amazon, and Visa are reportedly exploring their own stablecoins. Meanwhile, the U.S. is debating the GENIUS Act, which could regulate asset-backed stablecoins like USDC and PayPal USD.

If big tech + government both enter the stablecoin arena, what happens to DeFi-native options like DAI or crvUSD?

Do we risk turning stablecoins into just another form of centralized fiat?

YOUR THOUGHTS????

I’m building out a small automated strategy (mean reversion focused) and currently testing it on a demo account.

I noticed AvaTrade offers API access, which surprised me since it’s not something every broker supports openly. Has anyone here actually used their API in production? Any gotchas with rate limits or order rejection during spikes?

Also open to hearing if anyone’s had better luck with other broker APIs.

# A Korean study found that the oral bacterium Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn) worsens the prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). The study is significant as it is the first to identify the impact of Fn on B cell maturation in colon tissue using single-cell genomic bioinformatics analysis.

The idea of turning the rising risk of natural disasters into proactive climate ventures is a win-win for everyone involved. While lifting premiums to cover increasing risks may be a straightforward approach, insurance companies have the chance to be real game-changers in the fight against climate change. As they encourage more sustainable practices, they not only manage their risk better but also contribute to reducing it globally.

So, next time you’re looking at your insurance policy, think beyond the premiums. You’re part of a larger cycle that doesn’t just protect you but also helps safeguard our planet.

Hi,

We are looking to outsource our warehousing and packaging to a fulfillment center. Most orders go to Italy, so that would be a good place to have it. Other big countries are Spain and France which are also viable options.

We ship at around 7€ to these countries, but all these fulfillment centers absolutely suck.

No Italian, French or Spanish would pay 7€ for shipping, so we cover 2€ (and have checkout abandonment at around 40% for orders that don’t get free shipping). I thought getting a fulfilment center and with the volume they send would save us at least a little bit on shipping (they all brag about 15-30% savings on shipping due to their volume on their landing pages), but these rates are disastrous. They average at 15€ for a neighbouring country, with the lowest being 2€ above ours. Some even charge more for domestic shipping than what we are paying right now, sending across the border.

Some Italian ones don’t offer COD even for their domestic market (and the amount of COD shipments there is around 20%… 1/5 of all purchases). Haven’t yet found a single one that would offer COD in both Spain and Italy.

Anyone know any solid ones that would cover these 3 countries?

I’ve contacted 9 different ones so far.

Thank you

For those with expertise in Bing, do you have any advice on how to further increase the visibility of our blog? Also, we want to avoid making the same mistake we did with Google — relying too heavily on a single search engine. Our goal is to diversify our traffic sources.
We’ve already tried Pinterest using infographics from our tech guides, but unfortunately, it hasn’t performed well. We also have Facebook pages, X (Twitter), Bluesky, and we even tried truth social — haha — but the results have been very limited.
