  • How are there so many different companies on Amazon making new products?

    Is there a service that I am unaware of that allows people to create an online company and make products easily, or do all of these companies jump through all of the hoops and pay tens or hundreds of thousands to engineers to build these products to sell? Because I have ideas for products that do not exist but it takes a lot of money to pay engineers to make those ideas come to life and it's a gamble I could spend all of that money and it be gone or it could be a huge hit.

  • Anyone else give up their hobbies?

    I used to be a die hard gamer, die hard sports fan, I used to love building computers, etc. Though I no longer do any of those things. When I think about it I feel like things have changed to where I am no longer interested. I loved video games when they were challenging and original, now they are mostly FPS games noobed down for everyone to play. I gave up on sports since back then the team that played the hardest won, now the team that makes the most money wins and they can buy multiple superstars for a guaranteed championship. I guess I only stopped building computers because my laptops are fast enough and portable when back then laptops sucked. Anyone else give up their hobbies?

  • So easy to get women's phone numbers now?

    I wonder if it is because of technology its easy to block someone so women freely give out their number these days? I am a handsome guy and successful and I remember back then I had to work at getting a phone number from an attractive lady but now women just volunteer it without me even asking. I wonder if it is just because of technology now it's no big deal or what.

  • Electrical question to increase battery life?

    So let's say I have a large battery and a smaller battery, do I place a high amp diode in between the big and smaller battery and wire a device after the smaller battery to get longer battery life? I know you are supposed to use a diode to prevent the smaller battery from causing problems with the larger battery just making sure I wire it correctly.

  • Question about African language?

    I got an Uber and an African guy was playing some hip hop music in his own language and what I found interesting is a lot of the words I had no idea what wss being said but then some sentences were easy like clear English. So do they mix both languages or do they just happen to share certain words in English? Meaning words in their language mean exactly the same as ours.

  • Anyone else ever come up with original ideas instantly?

    I would probably be a billionaire if I actually marketed my talent. Nearly all of my life I thought everyone had my ability, but I am amazed at how I can be dealing with someone who has been in a particular industry for over 30 years, but I can walk in and look at their product and come up with ways so they can improve and save money. I have done this with corporations and tons of phone apps, where I send an email and they are wowed at the idea and release updates. I even made PayPal and Amazon add such features. Are you the same way or do I have a unique gift?

  • Is a lot of energy lost when using AC adapter for device that can also use DC?

    If you have a device that has a 12v socket adapter or a 110V adapter, if you have a vehicle with an inverter that can provide both, is there any noticable energy lost using 110V? I want to use 110V since I have a surge protector and never had issues whereas a socket can melt or come lose easily and other issues. Plus it's weird but my vehicle had a low battery cutoff and you would think it would cut off the inverter first but it cuts off the vehicle battery and allows AC devices to keep running longer.

  • 12V battery backup for continuous power?

    I see there are some generators on Amazon, but is there a product out there that will supply 12v power until it is nearly depleted then switch over to another power source? I want to power a small electronic device that uses 150W 12V power and I would like it to use up a big portable battery first and once its drained the portable battery will switch to my vehicles 12V supply so I can get the most life out of the device before I drive again

  • Why are online reviews about a business so mixed?

    It's always interesting since I plan to use an expensive service and reading the online reviews, 50 percent of them say they are the most professional, nicest people ever that do an amazing job and highly recommended, and the other half of the reviews say that they are the rudest people ever that cannot do a single thing right and should be shutdown. It makes me wonder if the bad reviewers are rude people themselves and get treated the same in return.

  • I never understood how billionaires like Bezos have 80k salary?

    I understand their corporation is it's own entity, but are they able to charge all business AND personal expenses all to the corporation tax free? I am self employed and understand I can write off all business expenses, but does a corporation allow me to write off all personal expenses too? Because a billionaire with an 80k salary driving a million dollar sportscar living in huge mansions I consider that personal expenses so I never understood that part of it.

  • Can a smaller solar panel drain a larger solar panel like smaller batteries drain larger batteries?

    I have a 100 watt solar panel on my RV through a controller and was wondering if I could fit a smaller solar panel in one more spot would it drain power from the larger solar panel this making my system worse or will it just add more power despite it being hooked up to a higher wattage panel?

  • Are there crimp terminals like pins for larger guage wire?

    I searched online but couldn't find anything. I have a solar controller with small scree terminals and 8 guage wire. Is there a pin type connector I can use to make the I guage wire fit into the small screw terminal? I thought 20 years ago I saw speaker wire connectors that had pin types. A Google search for pin type connectors is for something unrelated like those laptop adapter type pins which is not what I want.

  • Is it stress?

    I opened up my first large business a month ago and I do not feel stressed but I do think about it a lot. I had a business before but the expenses were very small so it was easy to walk away from. Now I am neck deep with massive expenses without an easy out but I am glad I am free. Though I have a slight headache everyday and not sure if it because I am thinking about my business a lot? I know what stress is I had it in the past but can just having a lot on my mind cause the headache even though I don't feel overwhelmed? Thanks

  • Anyone hate doing paperwork as much as me?

    Not basic questions those do not bother me. I really hate doing the paperwork when they use paragraphs worth of lawyer talk where you are not really sure what it is stating and asking you to sign. I am a reliable person and can get things done without complaining but when it comes to doing confusing paperwork I put it off for as long as possible. It seems like everyone else I know sits down and tries to decipher every sentence like its no big deal whereas I get frustrated.

  • Simple tax question please?

    Hello, I will keep the numbers small and easy in this example. Lets say I do a job for someone and go through a broker. The broker pays me $1000 for the job so that is what is sent to my bank account. However on the work order you see that the job paid $1200, the broker took $200, and paid me the $1000. Come tax time, do I report I made $1200 and paid $200 to the broker as an expense? Or do I just report I made $1000?

  • List Gross annual income as a business owner or Net?

    When certain forms ask for your annual income as an employee on things like loan documents, people put down their gross income before taxes and expenses. I started my own business and my gross is really high but cut in half after my business expenses. Do I still go by my gross amount before business expenses?
