As someone currently in China, this comment made me laugh. I don’t think I have ever craved it. That said, you should try it anyway. I hope you like getting drunk. Personally, the flavor reminds me closer to the chemical alcohol you might f

I am also a US citizen abroad and I don't understand your annoyance. This is exactly why Foreign Earned Income Exclusion exists. For anyone not aware you don't pay taxes on 100k if you are out of the USA 330 days out of the year.

We did demand X though. The supermarkets had both tasteless strawberries and organic ones and we made our choice. Many supermarkets still have organic ones and we still pick the cheaper, larger, less tasty one.

I run an international e-commerce site in several countries. We have been recommended all these dark patterns. Sometimes I see sites that apply all of them at once and a new user gets no less than 3 pop-ups within 10 seconds engaging them i

Off topic, but I find it amusing that we all do in fact live in a world with both butterflies and sugar plums. They are both very cheap and plentiful as well.

I like the sentiment, but I would rather a potential hire just apply cold than if a company told me to look at a candidate they just let go (even if it was google). Warm intros from an entity that just rejected you would be a terrible signa

We are able to use our growing volume even now to lower the costs all around (freight, fulfillment, shipping). At 1000x growth, we could push those prices much lower. This is huge for start-ups. Since we only deal with fulfillment once it e

Hey Greg, the third step page is where we tell you the "move-out" or basically shipping and handling pricing. Why don't you give a message at james@theshotput.com though and I can give you a quote. You took the time to sign

Yes, we can ship to those countries. Our fulfillment centers are all over the US and coming to Canada soon! But again, they can ship internationally.

Great to hear your thoughts, we made this company so people like you can focus on the market and product development and keep doing awesome stuff like this!

You hit it on the nose. People rarely decide between us and Amazon, usually it is between some random fulfillment centers their friends heard of and us. We have been pretty competitive on price so far, but mostly our benefit is we give tota

This is awesome! Is this something we can integrate into our website too or it is only a library for IOS? Definitely want to use this for a seamless interaction over both platforms.
