- Comment on Hot Ones trying to sneak in the package protection 5 weeks ago:
I mean, if it works out for you, it’s totally fine to give the option. For a lot of shops it’s just not worth the hassle. Really depends a lot on where you ship from and where to
- Comment on Hot Ones trying to sneak in the package protection 5 weeks ago:
You’re lucky in that case
Having shipped packages commercially myself and managing online shops at work, there’s a significant amount of lost and damaged packages here. Especially when uninsured packages are used
And I’ve experienced it multiple times that people get angry when you basically tell them to pound sand, because they didn’t want to pay a little extra
Now you have the option to make a loss and ship it out again or have an angry/sad customer. As well as a significant amount of support ticket work
Or you can just not do that, the shipping is a little more expensive, and everyone is happier in the end
- Comment on Hot Ones trying to sneak in the package protection 5 weeks ago:
where I’m from, basically all sellers only offer insured shipping.
just the fact alone that you don’t have to tell angry customers that they are out of luck, because they didn’t feel like paying for the insurance is worth the slightly fewer sales

Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space.

- Comment on Would SpaceX continue to be immoral without Musk? 1 month ago:
The short answer: no
The slightly longer answer: also no. Because orbits don’t work that way and space is really really big
There are companies who have plans for cleaning up space debris by grabbing it in various ways, but it’s not really feasible for more than super specific targets in very narrow edge cases
For most of the stuff currently in orbit, there’s not much danger regarding Kessler syndrome, as their orbits decay in a couple years to maybe decades in extreme cases
The bigger problem with current satellite constellations is the big amount of metal spreading into the upper atmosphere when they burn up (not a problem when a couple satellites do it, but problematic when hundreds do), as well as disturbing ground based telescopes
