  @EllieGAnders Ok, so vacuums. Back when I was in the throes of the brain tumor, and my wife was in the throes of dementia; she was convinced the dogs had fleas all the time, and I didn't have the energy to argue with her. Plus she was spreading diatomaceous earth all over our house. So we went through quite a few vacuums. Vacuum like objects I have now: 1. Robot vacuum/mop with tank. 2. Bissel Revolution Hydro Steam 3. Dyson 4. Some Dirt Devils, 5. Miele 6. Some weird brand I forget the name of. Russel or something. My go to: The robot vacuum is set to vacuum+mop the entry way, back door, and kitchen once/day at 9am. Around noon, it vacuum onlys one of the remaining rooms in the house, on a repeating schedule. Wednesday is the day it does my office. But I have a single story house, everything is at one level, so this is possible. With the dogs, this means that about 90% of the house mess is no longer a problem, and every room in the house is vacuumed once/week, which I have come to enjoy. A robot vacuum without a dock is just pretend. You need it to come back to the dock and empty and load up with water for the mopping. Best on sale. Does require me to swap out the filter thing once/week, but I got replacements in advance, so there's a queue on my kitchen windowsill. I get 3rd party bags and accessories, so its all good there. Cheapest for carpet: The Oreck is a brick ********* of a vacuum. This is the vacuum you see the hotel maids using, and its pretty cheap, and even cheaper if you get the knock off replacement bags on Amazon. I still use this when I need to vacuum up some Resolve granules or foam. Cheap on Amazon. But its more of a carpet vacuum than a hard floor vaccum. Next up: The Dyson is the general "I have to vacuum something." In theory, I can tell the robot to go to that spot and vacuum it, but I don't bother. You can pick them up everywhere. They're bagless so you just dump it in the trash can and you're done. My wife had kind of destroyed it, but I took it apart and cleaned out all the DE, and its worked great since. The Bissel I got after the dogs did something or other and left a stain on the carpet, so I resolved the hell out of it, and oxy-cleaned it, and then there was a big white spot in the carpet, which was bothering my OCD. TBH, it mostly is in the way, I have to move it once/week so the robot can vacuum in the dining room. This is a carpet cleaner, so not useful for you anyways. This is the only carpet cleaner you can get that can actually heat the water, though you still have to fill it with hot water, but with no kids, my water heater is cranked to max anyways.

  @AmazonHelp I have already did chat with your customer service team and also contacted. When I asked about the status they keep on telling it will delivered on that day itself, but not delivered and some replied me that better to cancel the order, these type of issues will not resolve.

  Amazon's expanding drone delivery to nearly 500 US cities and towns by year-end. A sixfold jump from the 11 metro areas Prime Air flies now. Packages up to 5 pounds, delivered in as fast as 30 minutes. Amazon says that covers 60% of what people order most. It's running in seven states today. Chicago, Atlanta, Cleveland, Syracuse and Boise come next. The company says it's done hundreds of thousands of drone deliveries this year, thousands a day. Same MK30 drone has gone down a handful of times: two over Oregon in 2024, two into a crane in Arizona last October, a cable strike in Waco. FAA and NTSB probes are still open.

  @AgustinLebron3 I guess I just don’t have this issue for stuff like toothpaste. I feel like my Amazon experience is very different from others and I don’t quite understand why.

  @riverart9 @jenteach13 If a kid walks home from school or walks alone from bus stop &worried bc phone isn’t charged to reach family in case of emergency/ to check in, a nice teacher would charge it for them. This teacher has no issue begging for Amazon items, but complains when kids ask for a pencil?

  Flat-dollar price floors are how sellers leak margin to the marketplace without noticing. Built Binnacle to fix it — an always-on agent for Amazon, Shopify, and Etsy. Reprices against landed cost, catches Buy Box losses in seconds, drafts restock orders overnight. Live soon.

  @BobJoe71121 Same with the Fenbendazole - you can get it at Tractor Supply - or on Amazon. Prices on Amazon are a good bit cheaper - and it's the same stuff - no matter the brand name. I got a bag of empty gelatin capsules and squirt the nozzle down in one of the halves - and fill it up.

  @XRPspider Side note: when you buy Amazon 'subscribe and save' products you're actually buying factory seconds. Out of date, broken boxes, damaged in shipping.

  @cremieuxrecueil If telling people the truth doesn’t move the needle, companies like Amazon should just say they are building a distribution center — and not reveal that the distribution center will be housing a data center. Problem solved.

  Big Tech just forced the US government into bailing ITSELF out. This morning the US Treasury announced it will at least double the size of its own bond buybacks, because for two months almost nobody else wanted them. The 30-year Treasury bond hit its highest yield since 2007 last Thursday, then did it again yesterday. The long end has been in a buyers' strike since late June, meaning the pension funds and insurers who normally absorb 20 and 30 year government paper stopped showing up. This morning it auctioned $16 billion of 20-year debt at the second-worst yield since that bond was reintroduced in 2020. So the Treasury tore up a schedule it had published two weeks earlier. It doubled the maximum size of each long-bond buyback from $2 billion to at least $4 billion, and went from two operations a quarter to four. The 30-year yield fell 9 basis points within minutes. Stocks rallied. By early afternoon the 10-year had given almost all of it back. BUT the thing is, this operation changes almost nothing, because the underlying problem is untouched: The tidal wave of hyperscaler debt sitting on top of very large government deficits. Hyperscaler means Google, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle and Nvidia. The Wall Street Journal went through the footnotes of 9 tech companies' filings on Sunday and found roughly $3 TRILLION in AI commitments sitting outside their balance sheets. That is 5x the $600 billion of capital spending those same companies reported over the past year. Alphabet alone discloses $811 billion in purchase and contractual obligations. Three months earlier it was $332 billion. All of it has to be funded somewhere. And this is where it collides with the government: Data centers, chip supply agreements and 20-year power contracts are long-duration assets, and long-duration assets get financed with long-duration debt. That is the exact product the US Treasury sells. There is a finite pool of investors willing to lend money for 30 years at a fixed rate. That pool does not get bigger because Meta needs another campus in Louisiana. So when the largest companies in history issue hundreds of billions of long-dated debt at the same moment the Treasury needs to roll a national debt approaching $40 trillion, both sides are bidding for the SAME buyers. One of those bidders can offer whatever yield it takes and book it as growth. The other one is the US government, and this morning it folded. Treasury does not create money for these buybacks. It funds them by issuing shorter-dated debt instead, so the obligation does not disappear. It gets pulled closer to the present, to be refinanced at whatever rate exists in a year or two. The government is buying back the debt nobody wants by selling more of the debt people still take. The 30-year Treasury yield is the number that prices your mortgage. The average 30-year fixed sits at 6.67% today. But there IS a real argument on the other side: Buybacks are routine, and $4 billion is nothing against a $30 trillion market. Plenty of serious people will call today housekeeping. But housekeeping shouldn’t require tearing up your own published schedule two weeks after you release it. The AI buildout is now financed at a scale that competes with sovereign borrowing, and the sovereign is losing bidders. Nobody voted on that, and people will pay for it in their mortgage rate long before anyone calls it a crisis. What do you think?

  AFRICA IS HOME GLOBAL (@AfricaisHOME2) reported 29 minutes ago

  Carbon finance is being used in the Amazon less as a guilt offset and more as direct funding to keep forest standing and get money to farmers and communities. In Brazil’s Acre state, the government sells jurisdictional forest carbon credits covering an entire region rather than single projects, with Standard Chartered acting as exclusive seller. Under the deal, 72% of proceeds go to indigenous and local communities to fund sustainable livestock, reforestation of secondary forest, non-deforestation farming and community tourism, while 28% covers monitoring, governance and emergency response. The model was designed to avoid the old problem where only landowners with formal titles benefit. Instead, laborers and family farmers without land rights also get a share, turning forest carbon value into public wealth rather than just private rent. Researchers note it’s an attempt to build an inclusive green economy, though they warn it also expands state power and still carries risks of elite capture. New projects are trying to fix the credibility problems that have plagued voluntary credits. Brazilian startup Mombak delivered its first Amazon removal credits more than two years early to buyers including Google, McKinsey and McLaren Racing, from 12 farms where it has planted nearly 15 million native trees on degraded pasture. That first issuance was 21,000 metric tons of CO2 removed. Separately, Brazil auctioned its first public-land reforestation concession to Re dot green for 145,000 acres in the Bom Futuro reserve, with a 40-year contract and about $2 million a year expected from credit sales, 0.7% going to the state. The Karitiana Indigenous community is part of the project. Environment Minister Marina Silva framed it as turning a climate liability into an asset, part of a national goal to restore 30 million acres by 2030. Studies show early projects did cut deforestation, but often over-issued credits by about 11x versus actual forest saved. With more than 40,000 sq km of tropical forest still lost in 2025 and a $216 billion annual financing gap to halt deforestation by 2030, advocates argue carbon finance is one of the best of a bad set of options to pay farmers to leave trees up instead of converting land to cattle or palm. - World Business News.

  Amazon spent $1.8 million on an AI task nobody caught for five months. The overrun was 860%. According to the Financial Times, Amazon staff used Claude to cross-reference author details against product listings — a routine matching task. The bill came in at $1.8 million, 860% over budget, and nobody noticed until five months later. It wasn't the only one: engineers also flagged $541,000 in unplanned spend building financial audit tools, and $134,000 in delivery-logistics overruns that took two weeks to catch. Amazon's own leadership has acknowledged the pattern isn't isolated. From the Ledger: "Skip the maintenance line entirely in your budgeting, and the 'savings' you counted in month one get quietly eaten by accuracy problems in month eight, just recorded under a different heading." Swap "accuracy problems" for "a runaway API bill" and that's exactly what happened here. Nothing crashed. Nothing threw an error. The cost just kept accumulating in a place nobody was looking, for five months, at one of the most sophisticated engineering organizations on earth. AI is a tool that helps you reach success in specific parts of your work — it doesn't manufacture a success story from scratch. You have to work with it, not hand it the keys, or the result looks exactly like this.
