After a long (wild goose chase) process logging in, adding a ton of package details I get:

>We're sorry; UPS TradeAbility^(®) Landed Cost is not available at this time. Please try again later.

Looking for a UPS tool to calculate how much duty to charge/will be/should be charged on int'l shipment.

Possible alternative : maybe a merchant who has UPS Global Checkout set up? Other tool?

Is there still no place on Patreon that tracks all the comments you’ve ever left?

Crazy that they're forcing account merges and asking us:

Do you want to keep your past activity as a member?
If you choose to keep past activity (likes, comment, chats and DMs), it may indicate that you are or were a member.
You have 2 comments, likes, chats, and DMs across 0 memberships.

But we can't see what those comments, likes, chats, or DMs are!

It seems I'm being blocked from seeing any of them, until after the merge. WT?

This is a hypothetical question. I’m asking it because I think the answers could give useful insight to both researchers and our community about risk tolerance.
Imagine a treatment exists that has been thoroughly tested. It permanently cures MOGAD in X% of patients and is fatal in the remaining patients. There is no such treatment today, but real treatment decisions sometimes involve trade-offs that feel related to this kind of risk.
Assume the research is solid and we know the exact value of X.
How high would X need to be before you would take the treatment?

I have amazon prime and google speakers. There's no way to listen to npr news podcast ad-free/add it to my morning news on my google speaker w/o double-paying? 👎

I have it play as part of my morning news on my google speaker, and it keeps mentioning that I can listen to it ad-free with my Amazon Prime membership ... but it seems I can't, practically speaking. Workaround ideas?

I would totally buy frozen meat pizzas if they stopped putting nitrate preservatives in the meats. I used to get them all the time, but stopped for health reasons. Surely they sell it in sufficient volume that they can skip putting nitrates in frozen food? Or is there a regulatory issue that prevents them from doing so?

It’s pretty clear to me that there’s some interesting chemistry involving nitrates, including natural ones, and meats, creating carcinogens in the gut, being the main or at least a very significant contributor to cancer rates blamed on meat in general.

If you’re reading this : would this reformation influence your buying?

I wonder if any of the Safeway/Albertsons/Cerberus folks who formulate Signature products follow this Subreddit.

Has anybody spelled $cience the way I did in the title before? Better?

Curious if anyone can directly dispute the (alleged) facts herein with evidence. Ad hominem attacks and gish gallop, not direct disputes will be an admission that you can’t.*

1. over 7% of the 10 million V-Safe users reported needing medical care after a Covid-19 vaccine, on average 2 to 3 times each, with over 70% of those medical encounters resulting in hospitalization, emergency room, or urgent care.

2. that in the clinical trial for Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine there were 21 deaths in the vaccinated group and 17 deaths in the placebo group, meaning more in the vaccinated group, during the same time period and, I note, the placebo group had more people than the vaccinated group. (*For example, pointing out this isn’t statistically significant isn’t a factual dispute, and thus would be an admission that the facts are as alleged.)

I see it mentioned on the interwebs for Mint Mobile, but can't find it mentioned officially. (Visiting mailmymobile.net results in a weird redirect and then weird SSL errors.)

I tried sending a few test messages via the tmomail.net gateway and find that most messages don't get through. Understandably, the spam filtering is very aggressive...

I have a SIEVE rule that I triggers when I get an important email (e.g. from bank, family, etc.) and it's supposed notify me by sending a short message via an email-SMS gateway.

I'm a mod. For the SAME comment in the sub, Reddit is showing sub readers :

But, this is what I see when I'm logged in:

WT? Well-known/longstanding issue?
