started custom printing on merch for my small business what next

im running a small business and just started printing logos on different products like shirts and bags to build more brand awareness. it feels like a good way to get the name out without big campaigns.

ordered through promopal and they handled the printing well with quick turnaround on the custom stuff. what can i do after getting these products to make the most of them like giving them out at events or selling them and any ideas on tracking if it helps the business grow?

Thinking about the G80 vs F80 debate

It seems like every time I scroll through this sub, the debate between the F80 and the G80 gets more intense. I’ve been looking at both lately, the F80 has those classic, aggressive lines that never seem to age, but the performance and tech in the G80 are on a completely different level once you actually get behind the wheel. I’m torn between going for that raw, analog feel of the older generation or just embracing the massive power and daily driveability of the new one.

I've rewritten the first chapter of my novel six times and I think I'm using it as an excuse not to move forward

Every time I get a few chapters in I convince myself the opening isn't working and start over. The rest of the story exists in my head pretty clearly. But I keep stalling at the beginning like it has to be perfect before I'm allowed to continue. I know this is probably a procrastination thing dressed up as a craft problem. But I can't figure out how to break the loop

Did anyone else go through this? How did you actually get yourself to just keep going?

Had my S23 for about a week now and I’m trying to figure out if my battery is decent or not.

Getting around 4-5 hours screen-on time with mixed use (Reddit, YouTube, a bit of maps). No gaming or anything heavy.

I’ve seen people say they get more, but also some saying less, so I’m not sure what’s realistic.

For those using it daily, what kind of battery life are you seeing?

I’m only a few chapters in and I don’t know what’s happening to me.

I went in thinking it would be a chill fantasy read and now I’m fully invested in Xie Lian already. Like how is he this endearing this early??

Also the tone caught me off guard - it’s funny one second and then suddenly kinda sad the next.

Trying very hard not to spoil myself but it’s getting difficult. Does it just get more intense from here or am I not ready

I already got some liposuction on my love handles a few mnths ago and wow it cleared up that annoying muffin top so my jeans dont fight me every morning

Now Im lowkey obsessed with the idea of fat transfer to my butt to pump it up and give it some real curves cause right now my backside looks like it forgot to show up to the party. and I keep staring at outfits thinking damn a bit more volume down there would make everything click into place and stop me looking like a walking rectangle!!

What would you do?

I live in Washington and have a decent-sized backyard with several mature trees (big maples, a couple of firs, and a cherry tree). Over the last few years they’ve grown so much that they were starting to crowd the house, block a lot of sunlight to my garden beds, and drop branches after every storm. I was getting genuinely worried about safety and how they were affecting the rest of the yard.

I finally decided to get it sorted and hired the best tree pruning services in Washington. They came out, gave me a clear plan, and did a really clean job. They removed the deadwood, opened up the canopy, shaped everything properly, and even gave me some good advice on long-term care. The yard looks and feels so much better now, way more light, less mess, and the trees actually look healthier.

I’m curious how others manage their trees here in Washington. How often do you have your trees pruned? Do you do it yourself or always hire pros? Any specific tips for dealing with fast-growing species like maples in our climate?

I've been seeing the lace trend literally everywhere lately and I'm finally caving. I've been trying to support more local shops instead of just hitting the big malls, so I was browsing around and spotted this really nice black lace top over at The Freedom State. It's exactly the vibe I want for an event I have coming up, but now that I'm looking at it, I'm kind of stuck on how to actually wear it without it looking too "lingerie" 😄

I usually live in baggy jeans and boots, so I'm wondering if I can dress it down or if I need to go full dressy with it? I don't want to overthink it but lace is kinda tricky to layer. Does anyone have styling ideas for lace, or maybe suggestions for other aussie brands that do good event pieces that aren't super formal?
I'd love some inspo.

Not a "look at my haul" post, more like a honest report card on things I keep reordering. Cable management clips - still using the first batch, bought two more sets since. Silicone kitchen stuff like spatulas and jar openers - shockingly good quality for basically nothing. Mechanical keyboard switches - same as what you'd pay 3x for on other sites

Things that were a waste: anything with sizing that matters (clothes, shoes, total lottery), cheap phone cases that yellowed in a month, and anything that claims to be a brand name

What's your most reliable repeat purchase?

I've always done my own oil changes. It's cheap, takes 20 minutes, and I know it's done right. My buddy says I'm an idiot and that paying $50 at a shop is worth not getting dirty.

Who's wrong here? Is there some secret downside I'm missing? Or is he just afraid of a little grease?
