Agreed. These have been a game changer especially for those with partners who snore. It took a few days but my ears got used to them after that. They are very comfortable.
To the person who asked, I can sleep with these in on my side without a problem after I made sure to use the right tip size.
Like the majority of "Don't buy from Amazon" articles I've read, this one doesn't seem to make any mention (unless I missed it!) of if these Levis were shipped by _and_ sold by Amazon.
There's no doubt Amazon has a problem with fake or imposter products. But every post I seem to read about this is people who unwittingly by from a marketplace seller.
Of course Amazon should do better to regulate those marketplace sellers, but it seems similar to me to someone buying a Rolex from a street peddler in Times Square and being shocked it isn't the real thing.
That's too bad. At one of my companies they were using Trello for all engineering development which I found just too casual of an approach. Jira would have been overkill.
Pivotal provided a nice middle ground and was so easy to use with just the right amount of customization and power user functionality.
But I always felt like there was a small group of users and it just never got a foothold in companies.
I know I'm a bit sensitive to this type of thing, going to the theater is such a roll of the dice:
- Will I set in front of someone kicking my chair?
- Will I sit next to someone eating candy from a crinkly bag for half the movie?
- Will I sit behind someone on their phone the whole time?
- Will I sit next to someone talking most of the time?
I go to about two movies a year because of this, but I would easily go 5, maybe even 10 times as often if there was a way these issues could be addressed.
Or how about those that basically predicted Apple would cease to exist as a company for removing the headphone port, not having exchangeable batteries, or using a non-standard data/charging port on the iPhone.
Congrats on the launch! I do have a quick bit of feedback based solely on looking at the website:
Seeing a clearly fake testimonial immediately makes me lose trust in your product. It was pretty obvious the images in your testimonials were stock images, and a quick reverse image search confirms this (https://tineye.com/search/2f7aa5f73e0cee27b9ff54b1ad29cc8353...).
You obviously put a lot of work into your product, and it'd be a bummer to turn people off for something like that.
Honestly I completely forgot ATMs accepted cash! And my bank doesn't even have branches within 500 miles. As for friends, I mostly use Square Cash or Apple Pay (or, hesitantly, Venmo, though even with all the privacy enabled I don't love it).
I thought starting him at an 8% interest wouldn't give him the motivation. After a few months we had a talk and he saw the power of compound interest based on these crazy numbers, and we've adjusted it downwards since then. Of course he was a bit disappointed but understood this was closer to the real world.
My son has a Greenlight card. It's been fantastic for helping him understand allowance, savings, charity in a more modern age than when I used to get cash I put in an envelope with a table on the front. It's taught him about interest and he's able to see quick results (especially when I started his savings account at something crazy like a 500% interest rate to encourage him).
As others have mentioned, cash is near useless for children nowadays. He used to give me cash when he bought Robux etc but cash is also near useless for me.
I was concerned when I saw this headline but it's not quite clear to me what impact this would have on him, that wouldn't be gathered once he got a credit or debit card as an adult. Maybe because he literally purchases from only three places (Apple Store, Microsoft, Roblox) and donates to a panda charity.
I used to push back had on my kids wanting to buy hats, pets, etc in Roblox. Seemed like a waste of money and I hate microtransactions.
Then I realized that this is literally the only game they play, and it's free. Compare that to me at that age, buying Nintendo games for $50 a pop, why am I hesitant to support these creators with a $2 hat?
I still limit purchases just for general personal finance lessons, but otherwise let them spend money here like they would on actual paid games.
Etc etc etc. After years of avoiding too much added sugar, if I accidentally eat any of these my mouth almost feels sick with the sweetness.
I grew up listening to the marketing and science that said FAT = BAD and so stuffed myself with raisins, low fat cookies, and baked chips. Took decades for me to recover from learning to eat that way.
The survivor / confirmation bias is my biggest issue with a lot of these books.
I listen to a lot of "How I Built This" and have noted that the vast, vast majority of the founders on that program will answer the "what percent is luck vs skill" question with 90 (or above) for luck.
This rarely seems addressed, specifically in the entrepreneurship segment of these books. Which is understandable as "get lucky" is not a pitch that is going to sell a lot of books. But it's unfortunate when some of these folks use blanket advice like quit school or quit your stable day job because it worked for me.
I always assumed running air conditioning with windows open was incredibly wasteful. Is this because Japan's summers are more temperate than where I'm used to (Northeast US)?
I do find myself sometimes running the AC with windows open when it's cooler outside than indoors. For some reason it can be 65 degrees outside but 75 degrees indoors.
I had the exact same thought. It obviously helps during a cash starved time like now, but just seems to delay the inevitable. I suppose the assumption is that, by that point, there's hopefully other financial support in place?
I went to a tech conference at Wayfair HQ. I had never been to an office where there was a several minute wait just to go up the escalators. So many people.
The conference itself was pretty great, but I remember walking around the floor, looking at hundreds and hundreds of engineers packed into the office, and couldn't help but wondering if they really needed all of those people.
For me, the key was not exercising immediately after waking up. The issue was that when the alarm sounded, I knew the next thing I had to do was exercise. So I'd find excuses.
Instead, I made it to the first thing I did was wake up, have coffee, and read the newspaper. By the time that is done I am awake and somewhat relaxed, and in a much better state to contemplate exercise.
