So I came across this new deep moisturizing serum with claims that it holds 1000x its weight in water and that it gives long lasting moisture especially for someone like me with dry skin. I would love to hear your thoughts and feedbacks if you've tried it before. 🥰

Every time someone posts about saving money online the comments fill up with "just get a coupon extension" like it is a guaranteed thing. it is not.

i have coupert installed and i would say it finds something usable maybe a third of the time if i am being generous. there was one checkout on a nike order where it popped up and took 10% off without me doing anything, which felt great.

Healthcare worker based in campbell and trying to find the most convenient option for renewing both my BLS and ACLS. the south bay has plenty of options but quality and format vary a lot. specifically interested in whether the american heart association self guided learning format is available in the campbell area and whether anyone has used it for ACLS specifically since the written component for ACLS is more involved than BLS.

Been using it since the beta. Here's stuff that would've saved me a lot of wasted credits early on:

Prompt specificity matters more than length. ""Woman walking through rain at night, neon reflections on wet pavement"" gets better results than a 3 paragraph description. Seedance 2.0 responds well to visual specificity, not word count.

The canvas works best when you think spatially not linearly. Don't try to recreate a timeline. Treat it like a mood board that happens to export as video.

Generate at the resolution you need. Upscaling wastes credits and doesn't look better.

If a generation is 80% good, keep it. Chasing 100% will burn your credits fast. Fix the 20% in the edit.

Anyone else have tips? Would love to build a thread of these.

I’m currently trying to start the Mexican dual citizenship process through my family, but honestly getting the required Mexican documents has been harder than expected.

Right now I’m struggling with:

locating older Mexican birth certificates

figuring out where records are registered

getting certified copies

understanding registry requirements

dealing with inconsistent family information

Some documents are really old and apparently not everything is digitized yet, which makes the process even more confusing.

I’m also seeing mixed information online depending on:

which state in Mexico the records are from

whether you apply through a consulate or in Mexico

how old the documents are

For people who already went through this:

What was the easiest way to obtain your Mexican documents?

Did you:

contact the registry directly?

use a service/company?

have family help in Mexico?

go through the consulate?

Would really appreciate hearing real experiences because I feel like this part of the process is way more complicated than people expect.

Before looking into Mexican citizenship myself, I assumed most of the challenge would just be paperwork and waiting. But after reading people’s experiences, it feels like there are a lot of things nobody really talks about until you’re already deep into the process. Sometimes it’s document inconsistencies, sometimes it’s getting different information from different offices and sometimes it’s just the emotional side of dealing with family records and history.

For people who’ve already gone through it or are currently going through it what’s one thing you think people underestimate the most before they start?

Been thinking about this for a while. the people closest to me know the version of me i have curated over years of relationship. changing that version even slightly feels like a disruption to something that has a lot invested in it. so i end up being less honest with the people who theoretically know me best.

with strangers online there is no history to protect and no relationship to damage. i can say something that is genuinely true about how i feel and the worst case is a bad response from someone i will never interact with again.

i do not think this is unhealthy exactly but it is interesting that the conditions for honesty seem to be almost the opposite of what you would expect. does anyone else experience this and does it feel like a problem to you or just a feature of how honesty actually works?

I’ve been thinking about how many people discover they qualify for Mexican citizenship years later than they probably should have. Some people could’ve started the process much earlier, fixed document issues sooner, learned Spanish earlier, connected more with family history or even taken advantage of opportunities they didn’t realize were available to them at the time.

Looking back now, I’m curious how others feel about it.

If you could go back to the exact moment you first learned you qualified, would you handle anything differently or would you still approach the process the same way?

Genuine question. I keep seeing tb5 docks everywhere now but I dont know if I actually need one or if Im just falling for marketing. I have an M5 Pro and I use it with one 4K monitor, a keyboard, mouse, and an external SSD. Is tb4 enough for that or am I leaving performance on the table?

Not sure if it is just me but client work has been really inconsistent lately.I had two regular clients slow down at the same time, so I started paying more attention to smaller income sources outside direct freelance work. Nothing huge, but enough to make quieter weeks less stressful.What surprised me most is how random traffic and audience location can affect earnings online. One month things look decent, then suddenly RPM drops even though traffic stays similar.

Curious how other freelancers are handling the slower periods recently.

hey everyone, been working on this for a few shopify brands lately and the biggest problem i've keep hitting isn't getting the first sale, it's the cost of bringing people back for the second or third. meta ads are just getting too expensive to keep retargeting the same people over and over. i’ve been moving some of my clients toward a native app approach to build a fanbase instead of just a customer list, and it’s been a game changer for retention. we’ve been using superfans.io for the builds because they actually handle the heavy lifting of the native code for a flat fee, which lets me focus on the actual strategy like vip gated launches and push flows. it's way more effective than just sending another discount email that ends up in the promo tab, and seeing a native app actually sync with the shopify backend without breaking every week has saved me a massive amount of maintenance dev time. like are you guys still leaning on email/sms or have you started moving your top tier customers into a dedicated mobile space yet?

Flying from SFO to Bangkok next month with a stop in Tokyo. I always just throw my power bank in my carry on and nobody has ever said anything on domestic US flights. But I keep reading that some asian budget carriers are way more strict about it and will check capacity ratings or confiscate them at the gate.

Is this real or is it one of those things people worry about that never actually happens. I have a 72Wh bank which is well under the 100Wh limit so it should be fine on paper but I don't want surprises.

When you manage video projects, you often have to deal with information that is spread out. For example, scripts may be in one place, handwritten notes in another, feedback in different places, and budgets in different places.

UPDF helped make the workflow more centralized, which cut down on that fragmentation.

At the ideation stage, rough ideas become structured outlines or mind maps. OCR scans handwritten notes during planning and combines them with timelines, tables, and reference images into one document. Using different colors to mark different stages of production helps.

When editing starts, you can add comments directly to the feedback instead of having to use different tools. You can fill out forms, add signatures, and keep private information like budgets safe all in the same place.

Exporting documents into different formats makes it easier to share them with coworkers. Another useful feature is cloud sync, which lets you access and update files on different devices. This makes it easier to keep things going when you move around.

It's not about getting rid of every tool; it's about making things easier and keeping everything connected. UPDF is for creators who have to keep track of a lot of moving parts.

can act as a central hub.
