Most victims were elderly folks and women.

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

I should begin by disclosing that I have a very respectful position of ETH and BTH and started stacking ETH at around $2,200. I’ve always been a momentum investor and right now, after doing a decent dive of due diligence I’m confident that both BTC and ETC are going to make some exceptional gains.
Yeah, the tech is cool but if you step back for a few minutes you might be able to see just how dangerous it is for our personal freedoms. ETH more so than BTC. Over the past six months an unprecedented amount of our personal data that has always been segmented into individual silos has been correlated into single and very broad reaching individual dossiers. I’m talking everything, biometrics, spending, online conduct including social media, employment, voting, civil conduct… I’m talking absolutely EVERYTHING. The uprising of the “Tech Bros” is a very real thing. For those that aren’t aware I’d invite you to do some research on Peter Thiel and Palantir. This is the company whose stock shot up from $12 to $145 in just months. All because they are doing, under Federal contracts, exactly what I’ve described.
Now not only are we about to surrender our money to the “Tech Bros” they have an extremely friendly government behind them. I’ve made my entire career based on Tech from the age of 17 and my philosophy has always been “what‘s next” and I’ve made a very successful career doing that, mostly hooking up with specific management teams doing start-ups And what I’m absolutely 100% confident about is that these technologies will indeed replace our fiat currency. Especially ETH and stablecoins. BTW, I’m buying as much as I possibly can and I know that you’ve watched the insane amount of corporate and institutional inflows, well, that’s for a reason. How many of you have read The Genius Act? That is some scary legislation. In summary, what we‘re doing is handing over the reins to these companies while saying out loud, “Nah, we don’t need to not just Monitor you but we won’t protect the consumer at all. You’re free to do what ever you wish for the next 10 years.
I know that many will disagree but I see this as one of the most dangerous events/periods in America’s history with regards to our personal freedoms. I’m very open to hearing your opinions.

If you find that your flagship item is doing all the heavy lifting while others merely coast along, it might be time to revisit branding. Consider adopting a unified branding strategy to make every product feel like it belongs to an exclusive, interconnected family.
And though it might seem obvious to some, in the busy world of e-commerce, this crucial step often slips through the cracks. By refreshing your branding strategy, you can transform overlooked items into customer favorites, boosting conversions and elevating your entire business.
So, take a closer look. Is your lineup reflecting the brand persona you’ve worked so hard to build? If not, it might be time for a brand revamp. After all, in branding, cohesiveness isn’t just a detail—it’s the difference between a sale and a scroll past.

Ethereum’s path, like any journey, is filled with potential detours and uncertainties. While it may retest the $2,800 support or power through to past the $4,200 resistance, the only sure thing is the learning you’ll gain along the way. Keep your ear to the ground, your mind open, and your investments informed. Happy trading!
With this roadmap, hopefully navigating the intricacies of Ethereum becomes a bit clearer. It’s not just about numbers; it’s about understanding the story behind them.

Hey there,
The domain currently 301s straight to /uk/ since that’s their biggest market, but they’ve also got folders for 13 other countries (/mx/, /de/, /fr/, you get the idea).
Now they want to ditch that redirect and create a proper homepage with country flags or some kind of selector. We haven’t decided exactly what this new homepage will look like yet.
Problem is, pretty much all their backlinks point to the root domain, so if they kill that 301, they’re basically throwing away all that link equity that’s currently flowing to /uk/.
We’ve got hreflang properly set up across all the country folders, and the site’s running on WordPress.
Anyone dealt with something like this before? Is there a clever way to restructure this without nuking the SEO they’ve already built up?
Thabk you
