My family lives down near Blue Anchor and we visit the beaches there most years. The cliffs are absolutely packed with fossils. My kids love it.


For sure: 1) Ordered 800 pairs with an all-in manufacturing cost of $10/pair. Shipping was right around when supply chain awfulness had ships stacked off Long Beach and ended up bringing the cost/pair up to $13.

We've been 'live' with the website since December of 2021.

Started selling for $40/pair. Sold some. Dropped the price to $29/pair and sold more. Currently selling for $20/pair and that seems to be the right price point for these.

We've sold ~450 of the original 800 pairs and I still have just less than $2000 outstanding from the original investment.

2) Brooklyn: https://brooklyn-theme.myshopify.com


Can you elaborate on the production part of the sandals? How did you approach some company to produce them for you?


And I already did some pretty fun promotion stuff. Sent pairs to the Twitch streamers I could find addresses for.

Ludwig wore the pair we sent him in a couple of videos which was great for a short-term bump in sales. https://www.reddit.com/r/LudwigAhgren/comments/xmdvf5/does_a...

None shall receive unless they give; All must cooperate to live


Unless you have one of dozens (hundreds?) of potential complications that can happen during childbirth and you don't make it to the hospital in time. They you've got a dead or severely brain damaged baby and a potentially dead mom. Totally worth it.

And the odds of making it to the hospital in time if you need an emergency c-section or start bleeding out are pretty slim.


Actually, experienced mid-wives are very good at recognizing problems before they become serious problems. At some point, I was running out of energy and starting to struggle. They have monitoring equipment for the baby, and checked on her first to make sure she was fine. They talked about transporting me, but decided to give me a tablespoon of honey first. It worked, and we were done with a healthy, happy outcome shortly after that.

With midwives, you actually have human attention on you during a birth, rather than doctors and nurses that drop in occasionally and can miss stuff. My hospital birth came closer to having problems because there was another emergency on the floor and no one paid attention to me for hours (when perhaps they should have).


Obviously you haven't done your research on this topic yet. The midwives are state registered and are legally bound to only serve woman who are in perfect health condition, with no complication during pregnancy whatsoever and prefer woman who had previous births without complications. Still, hospital is on standby and yes, it makes more sense if you are not 100 miles away from one.


Along these lines - are there any good 'hacker' tools out there for the various phone platforms? I know there are port scanners and some other things out there but is this a well-developed space?


On Android, apart from being able to run Backtrack on certain Android devices you have tools to MITM WiFi and other fun stuff (on rooted phones) and there is some movement in making it into a developed product, e.g. ANTI: http://www.zimperium.com/Android_Network_Toolkit.html


Depends what you're interested in, but as an iOS developer I highly recommend Jonathan Zdziarski's "Hacking and Securing iOS Applications", published by O'Reilly. It's a good primer, and covers a wide variety of both exploits and hacks.
