Does anyone know the best lemmy community to ask about SEO and web/finance tech in relation to a small business? I have a small business that is doing very well, but SEO and word of mouth is a direct contributor to its success, and I think I’m getting screwed over in cost by the company I’ve been paying to run my site building, hosting and, SEO.

Online vape seller has ‘no intention of stopping’ shipments to Australia, despite nationwide ban — ‘We have no intention of stopping just because of one twat in Canberra.’ (www.vice.com)

Online vape seller has ‘no intention of stopping’ shipments to Australia, despite nationwide ban — ‘We have no intention of stopping just because of one twat in Canberra.’::The New Zealand-based seller issued a notice to its Australian customers that shipments will continue regardless of the government’s vape reform.

Ignorant take. When vape products contain, at most, 6 ingredients, all of which have been individually extensively studied, none of which are carcinogenic, and 5 of them are FDA approved for food and pharmaceuticals, theres a pretty obvious harm reduction to inhaling thousands of compounds with at least 70 being carcinogens. So much so that every study you can find will conclude the same.

Here’s a quote from a source I would call a qualified institution on the matter: "In its 2016 assessment, the Royal College of Physicians of London stated: “Although it is not possible to precisely quantify the long-term health risks associated with e-cigarettes, the available data suggest that they are unlikely to exceed 5% of those associated with smoked tobacco products and may well be substantially lower than this figure.”

That isn’t pseudoscience. It’s easily found by a quick Google search.

Conclusively, we’re going to find that the tobacco industry makes far less money off of refined nicotine than it does from tobacco. There’s a reason Phillip Morris bought a 30% stake in Juul, ran their advertising into the ground, and now also exclusively funds anti vaping ads rather than anti tobacco product ads.

They hooked a new generation on nicotine with Juul and are trying to ban vaping to sell their higher profit margin cigarettes.

Whether my conspiracy conjecture is found to be true or not, studies comparing vaping to smoking keep coming to the same conclusion, vaping is less harmful than smoking. If you have a study or information to the opposite I would love to read it.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

You’re clearly not cherry picking. If you were, you might have some articles that at least hint that ECs might be more harmful than cigarettes, but none of them come close. The first link you posted gets the closest, but it’s also just an article about one experiment, using 4 liquids that are not recommended in EC communities.

The rest of the actual studies you posted are not about safety. They do not compare disease or illness or death between the two. One of them does compare the amount of toxic chemicals in ECs to cigarettes and finds ECs to have zero. Until there are long term studies comparing the rate of death and disease, no journal is going to publish any definitive answer that ECs are safer than cigarettes. Until then, we will just have a bunch of studies comparing chemical composition, rates and particle sizes. And if it isn’t obvious, chemical composition and their rates are a bit more worrisome than the latter.

If you read through these studies and still think vaping is more harmful than cigarettes, then by all means wait the 50 years it will take the scientific community to out right say the obvious “vaping isn’t healthy, but it is significantly less harmful than traditional tobacco smoking.”

IDontHavePantsOn ,

And my argument is that of course more research is needed, but it’s to prove what we already know. Inhaling properly manufactured vape juices is less harmful than smoking cigarettes by a large degree.

If you see a house billowing with smoke you don’t have to wait for firefighters to tell you the house is on fire.

Would you rather, receive open heart surgery performed by Oz, Phil with Nurse McCarthy, or receive lethal injection administered by Dr Phil?

This shouldnt be a hard question, but…

IDontHavePantsOn ,

Or just use your aging sponges in a rotating lifecycle. I have 4 stages/sponges at one time that slowly get demoted as they age.

  1. New sponge only gets light jobs. Scrapped clean dishes, pans that just need the oil washed off.
  2. Middle stage wear is used for stuck on foods and generally more gross dishes.
  3. Not usable for dishes, but good for counter/stove tops.
  4. Dirty jobs. Nothing food related. Floors, bathrooms, use with disinfectants.

SAP, the most forcedly convoluted and horrid amalgamation of acquired software, held together by a support team that barely know how it works, is forcing their workers to go back to the office, where they will communicate with everyone remotely.

Color me shocked.

I used to be able to email their support staff and say “I need access to XYZ” and they would respond “Who’s access would you like to copy?” And I could have told them any name I would like and they would just give it to me.

At one time my boss gave me approval to do all the ordering for our department and gave me access to financial transactions. 6 months later, and a half million dollars spent, they realized I was never given the training that the access required. Guess who had 20 one hour trainings to complete in 2 weeks? Management blamed me.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

It’s of my own opinion that they are absolutely avoiding the WARN act, while also trying to dump a ton of workers into the market to raise unemployment rates, lower the wage demand power of prospective employees, thereby decreasing job mobility.

Its quite telling when every CEO sounds off like a mocking bird about trivial shit like returning to office after making record profit for 3 years.

I badly want to write a rant but I’ve already met my quota for today.

Sorry I ranted a bit anyway.

IDontHavePantsOn , (edited )

Training modules pretend SAP makes sense, and treat you as if you are a robot. I blazed through them too quickly and they didnt like that. They asked me why, and i told them I had already been using the software access for 6 months because of a mistake they made, and the training was pointless. If i agreed in writing that i was competent and trained, then there is no difference.

Honestly I was positioning myself to be the irreplaceable SAP expert at my company because the software is so garbage that not many people knew or wanted to learn how to use it, and I wanted a foot in the door in the supply chain department.

Turns out when you tell your corporate bosses that their ideas don’t work, don’t work an added 20 hrs a week to compensate for their bad ideas and poor communication, and complain of harassment and treatment bias, they will just fire you. Without severance.

Those trainings were included as reasons for my firing. The ultimate reason for my firing? “Timeliness” because I used 2.5 days of my sick time over the course of 6 months.

They didn’t show up for my unemployment hearing. The hearing officer was so confused by my situation he told me to stop answering as if it was a hearing, and just tell him why I think they fired me.

8 months later, I’m doing just fine. Raising my kids, running a business with my wife, and not worrying about being harassed by psychopathic ladder climbers while using the world’s worst software.

Sorry for the book I just wrote. I’m known to rant and ramble like a senior citizen sometimes.

If you hear “sausage cheddar biscuits” and think, “well that sounds unhealthy!” while clutching your pearls, then you don’t understand what’s going on here.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

Your point is stupid because no matter how you make a sausage cheddar biscuit loaf, it’s going to be unhealthy.

Less processed? Yes. More tasty? Maybe. More healthy? No. Easier? No. Faster? No. Cheaper? Negligible.

That is an outrageously long time to wait for a laptop without updates. From the prices I just looked up, it also is outrageously expensive.

I would have sought a refund before now already, but that’s just my opinion.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

I just accidentally deleted my original comment.

Heres I what I deleted.

There’s a few things a bunch of other commenters are getting wrong, at least from my understanding.

The AC compressor is run by a belt from the engine. Unlike a home AC, a vehicles AC is either on or off. There is no cycling. The temp control is just changing how much outside air comes in, or how much heat is drawn from the engine.

The fan speed is not going to effect anything at all. The alternator spins to generate electricity to recharge the battery, but the amount of energy required to spin it doesn’t change based on how much electricity is being drawn.

Tamping your AC down in any way, whether by lowering fan speed, or increasing the temperature is less efficient. Use it at it’s coldest temp and highest fan speed if you’re going to use it at all.

Edit: I almost forgot to add that AC efficiency is going to be more closely tied to your driving speed and outside air temperature. Driving faster makes your AC more efficient (not necessarily your whole car). More air passing over the evaporators means more heat released from your AC to the outside, which makes colder air in your car. The colder the air outdoors, the more heat the AC can release to the outdoors, which means colder air in your car.

As for EVs, I have entirely no clue, but I would assume it’s a similar situation.

Edit: I may be entirely wrong. I’m not sure about anything anymore. I know a guy who knows all about these things, let me get him down here tomorrow and we can go from there.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

I got my guy down here and he told me I was right and wrong. I’ll give the details tomorrow but I can barley work my phone.

IDontHavePantsOn , (edited )

I’m desperately trying to find a new phone that isn’t a Samsung. I switched by force from LG to Samsung and even though the Samsung was 3 years newer, it was a downgrade.

It pushes so many notifications I have given up. I’m going to have to spend $1400 on a Sony just to retain my SD card slot and get rid of the bloatware.

Since starting my hunt, my garbage s20 is pushing so many s24 ads. Guess how many phones have an SD card slot and a FHD+ screen?

Nine. 4 of them are made by Sony.

Edit: I forgot to mention that my samsung phone also gave me a notification Ad for the S24. I didn’t think to screenshot it because my notifications are so aggressive that I have become brain dead to this bullshit. I can clear a wall of 15 and within 3 minutes have another wall of 10.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

Seriously appreciate the suggestions because I have to catch up on phone specs since I never care about phones until I need to upgrade.

I had a couple hours to pick my current phone and my list of complaints and serious issues with it is outrageously long. I was seriously upset when LG left the phone market, and can’t believe how overlooked and downtrodden their phones were.

For me personally, I’m all about minimal bloatware, the best screen quality, at least decent chip performance, and expandable storage.

Bloat for obvious reasons.

Screen quality due to me usually only watching TV when with my spouse and/or sailing. Otherwise I’m using my phone.

My s20 FE’s chip is ok, but it was barely a jump from my v30, and now it’s feeling slow when I use a lot of CPU intensive apps. I’ve noticed detrimental file degradation when moving large files around my phone unless I clear all app usage and even then it can still create artifacts, and take a long time.

SD slot because the service in my area is garbage and I could never count on cloud storage that will also inevitably grow as I age. Plus sailing.

The moto being an LCD is pretty much a deal breaker for me. The 5V isn’t available here. The 1V is the only thing that checks every box, but the price is exorbant, the lack of wifi calling, bad auto photo mode, questionable durability, poor software support, lack of in depth reviews, and the general mystery surrounding the Sony software and UI makes me extremely hesitant for what I intend to be at least a 5 year phone.

I’m probably going to bite the bullet and get the Sony, but I’m still just so frustrated with the phone market. I keep getting the same responses from people like: “I just pay $5 a month for 500G”.

LIKE YOU REALIZE THAT THOSE HIGH RES CAMERAS YOU PAID A PREMIUM FOR ARE GOING TO CREATE LARGER FILES RIGHT? WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF THE 500G YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY $15 FOR THE NEXT TIER, EVERY MONTH, UNTIL YOU RUN OUT OF SPACE, WHICH WILL HAPPEN FAST WHEN YOUR 1 HOUR 4K 120FPS AI EFFECTS EDITED VIDEOS OF YOUR NEWBORNS BIRTH TAKE UP 20G, AND THEN IF YOU CANT AFFORD IT THEN YOUR CHERISHED MEMORIES WILL BE HELD HOSTAGE UNTIL YOU CAN PAY THE FEE TO STORE THEM, WHERE? ON A GODDAMN MEMORY CARD.

You know how every streaming provider is jacking their prices because people are hooked on their platform? That’s what companies will be doing with your cherished memories within the next 2 years.

Sorry for the rant. I’m a little high. Appreciate the suggestions buddy!

IDontHavePantsOn ,

I could stick with samsung if it wasn’t for their bloatware and their terrible push notifications. And their UI. And their terrible ecosystem that pushes more data collection. And their terrible integration with google products. And their terrible boot system that pushes updates in the middle of the night, but doesn’t fully restart the phone so your texts, calls, and alarms don’t come through.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

Promising tech and features, but likely wouldn’t work in my area 😔

IDontHavePantsOn ,

Expandable storage is #1, great screen would just barely edge out excessive bloatware for #2.

I guess I’m just bitching at this point because I know the sony is the only one that will fit what I want. Motorola is so close to filling the space that LG left behind, it’s unfortunate they haven’t realized they are just two features short of being unique at their price point. They don’t have the ecosystem, aren’t trying to create one, so why not pack in the features everyone else ignores?

I just really wish the EU could somehow create an argument to require memory card slots. I’ve been trying my best to come up with one myself, just to put it out there in the world.

Almost correct. Depends on the type.

Condiments are not to touch the fries until the chosen time. I would rather have ketchup in my hand than on top. Whether ketchup or mayo, it should be on the side. I can always dip a fry. I can’t Un-dip a fry.

Imagine you ordered delivery and the cook decided you wanted the ketchup how they like it, and 45 minutes after they came out of the fryer, a large man named Shannon riled up your dogs at 10pm, handed you a soggy box of luke warm, limp, sagging, already dressed potato sticks.

Yum. Sign me up for doordash premium.

I’ll counter with a picture I just took a few hours ago. Mother and son.

IDontHavePantsOn ,

Last year I was sick for 7 weeks with covid, RSV, the flu, and then covid again. I had to go to work while still sick with covid because I was out of sick time, even though their own policies should have prevented me from returning. I told all my coworkers to stay away from me and avoided them like I had the plague, because I essentially did. Had I actually not cared about other people’s health, I could have lied and destroyed the entire department for months with recurring spreading illness.

I had to have a meeting where I was being threatened with a PIP for attendance, while I was still sick and wearing a mask, for my job at a vaccine laboratory.

Web MD. The website. The website designed to make visitors feel a false sense of expertise about their health so that they don’t leave home to see a doctor about illness, is threatening their workers to leave their homes, to unnecessarily return to work, during a wave of life threatening and easily transmitable illness, that they will have to bring home.
