care to share those tips about investing?
I wouldn't listen to the advice of anyone that thought they could make 50% return in a year just based on "nothing magical, just solid and practical value investing advice". They're either too naive to realise it was luck, or trying to scam you.
In this virus season alone I've made $8000 in sales. You'll find various subreddits where people are buying around 5-10spools a month. Imagine how much virgin plastic is being added like that to the environment. I've been creating filament and selling it: https://medium.com/endless-filament/make-your-filament-at-ho... This activity also help recycle waste plastic. Production cost of filament is $7.5 per 5kg and filam…
Wow, great initiative. I think this is a perfect example of the market solving the problem fast. My main question is, how are you thinking about emissions and waste? Presumably, you've got to melt and extrude these things somewhere, and heating the plastic to its melting point to create decent sized quantities of this will result in harmful emissions of some kind. Do you have some sort of a scrubbing system? If so, h…
Right now I do nothing for emissions.
It happens inside a barrel that reduces a lot of emissions.
The emission will appear near the nozzle and the hopper. As those are the only opening in the barrel.
Once filament exists the nozzle, after 10inches, it goes into a water bath.
In future tho, I'll add HEPA+Activated charcoal filter lid on the hopper and use same for nozzle but with an extraction fan.
I don't typically talk about my side projects, but I made a simple Montessori materials website for use while teachers/students have been stuck at home the past few months: https://montessori.tools It has grown organically to 1,000 visits per day and ~$1,000/month. I have a couple of additional materials in the pipeline. Of course, I've already seen everything from the site shamelessly copied and posted elsewhere. Th…
I guess I am dumb, but I can't understand how to use the tools :( Maybe an instructions page will help
I really don't like talking about my side projects, so I guess they all qualify, but I'm particularly excited about one at the moment. Right now I'm working on a dog treat business - I make a treat mix that you add water to and freeze for a meat-based frozen treat. I feel really good about the product and the packaging design (and this is the first time I've ever worked on any kind of a physical product, so it's real…
I work ~4 hours a week making aircraft add-ons for X-Plane, releasing one product every 3 months, net profit ~$5k a month total. It's fairly simple: 1) Commission Russian 3D artist to make model of aircraft -$1000 2) Commission Audio Engineer to do sound - $500 3) Tweak model to work well with simulator + animation - 12 hours 4) Paint model in Substance - 12 hours 5) Set up flight model in X-Plane's "Plane Maker" - 8…
I run a send free text app that lets users watch ads to send sms, I rarely need to update and provide customer support and it makes 60$/month from ads+iap. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pseudozach... And then another app that converts play store balance to 1/2 bitcoin but I actually like to talk about this one, if I can find anyone interested https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pseud…
> watch ads to send sms hmm... interesting though, it does work haha that's so interesting, I mean I remember when I didn't have a phone, not even a burner, sometimes you have to deal with those "get code texted" and use those online sites that allow free sms... interesting being able to make that stuff now vs. using them
I started up a botanical brewery. We make non alcoholic drinks from medicinal mushrooms and we’re about three weeks away from launching our chaga based drink. We were supposed to launch in March, but COVID threw a spanner into the works. You can check it here: https://borealbrewing.ca Putting out a real product has been an insane amount of work, from getting the brand designed to finding somebody to actually help wit…
I mean the following constructively:
Why the focus on ditching alcohol? It's a big turn-off and I'm not even a regular drinker.
Seems like the wrong messaging immediately.
Sell your product on its own merit, not with an up-front negative message that judges people's alcohol intake.
