I see a lot of questions about shopping and receiving packages in Madeira, so I thought I’d share what’s worked for me after living here a while. **Food & groceries:** * **Pingo Doce** – great for fresh produce, reliable loyalty program. * **Continente** – slightly different stock, also useful. * **Frutarias & markets** – amazing local fruit & veg; Friday/Saturday mornings are usually best. Farmers’ markets can be great if you know how to shop like a local. **Clothing & footwear:** * Madeira Shopping, Forum, Plaza, and Funchal city centre for variety and promotions. * Seamstresses and shoe repair shops are everywhere, which complements buying l...

# I keep seeing clothing stores stuck at less than 1% conversion rate, and the culprit is usually not ads. It's variant UX. Last week I went down a rabbit hole reviewing a bunch of Shopify clothing product pages (mostly from r/ reviewmyshopify + some bigger DTC brands). Same pattern over and over: the product is fine, the creative is fine, even the pricing is fine. But the moment a shopper has to pick color + size, the page turns the decision into work. That's where conversion quietly dies. # 1) The "I might pick the wrong thing" problem Clothing isn't like a gadget. You cannot test it in-hand. So your product page has one job at the decision moment: **Make the s...

A commercial property insurance plan can cover much more than simply the building in which the business is being conducted. Typically the policy also offers coverage for the various contents present in the building, such as computers, IT systems, servers, furniture and equipments, exterior signs, landscaping and fences, important documents, inventory as well as property and items belonging to other people. The [commercial property insurance](https://www.bonanoinsurance.com/business-insurance/) plan can also be extended to the business vehicles, personal cars and storage systems that have been kept within the property area. If you have a retail environment to protect, it can also offer you co...

# The Problem I wanted to add an IKEA Alpstuga air quality monitor to my Home Assistant setup. Should be simple, right? Matter is supposed to be the universal standard! **Wrong.** Here's what I learned the hard way: 1. **Thread commissioning requires Bluetooth** \- You can't just "join" a Thread network. Devices use BLE for initial pairing (PASE) 2. **Phone apps create vendor lock-in** \- Google Home and Apple Home store Thread credentials that are nearly impossible to remove 3. **Most guides assume HA OS** \- If you're running Docker, you're on your own 4. **"HomeThread" got stuck** \- Had an old Thread network from a failed attempt that Android ke...

I've been to a very large BB-like store a few times. The workers are shy but helpful if you need them. This store was in one "corner" of the curve before it ended with a walmarty market, different from the super creepy thrift/dollar store. I'm getting a little distracted here, but I hope to eventually draw what I've seen in hopes it matches other people's encounters. About the electronic store: it's huge! Super tall ceilings, easily 25 feet, just one floor I think. They have little cubicle style set ups for each thing, somewhat like an ikea layout. I mostly saw things like blurays, game cubes, ps2, cds, records, and some shirts. It seemed to be set a bit f...

**January 12th, 2023** When I was a child, I owned many items that gave me a deep sense of unease, but I refused to get rid of them. Old, creepy toys that talked when nobody pressed their buttons. Books of children’s horror stories with covers that I would stay awake thinking about. In every case, I kept them. They had some sentimental value to them, usually, even if fabricated by my childhood mind. A value that outweighed the fear they brought me. When I turned 6 years old my parents started a weekly meet up with my friends to paint with each other each week. We’d make characters using water paints on paper. Being that I was a sentimental kid, I would keep every painting. They were pr...

No bc this literally happened to me before😞and I still sometimes think about it till this day. I’ve worked a few cashiering jobs in my teen- very early twenty years and I once had an experience where this particular time, it wasn’t the change that I had a problem with, but big bills( my worst enemy) she basically thought that I was trying to steal from her when that wasn’t the case i believe that I had to count back about $70-ish dollars back to her I don’t remember maybe it was more than that, it might’ve been a few hundred, I worked at a furniture store, so things were pricey there but I only really remember her accusing me and then my manager had to help me count out her ch...

[Part 1 - The Great Structure](https://www.reddit.com/r/TalesFromTheCreeps/comments/1qwdr43/the_lighthouse_that_doesnt_guides_ships/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) # Part 2 - The Hooks The sea mumbled it seemed. The forsaken Isle appeared abruptly, as though the fog had simply parted to reveal it. A jagged fist of black basalt thrusting from the sea, no vegetation, only wind-scoured spear headed rock. There stands lighthouse, a proud towering structure of weathered stone and corroded iron, its lantern room dark and blind. It listed from left to right in a slow, uncertain sway, as though the wind ...

This is the first year I’ve gone. I searched this sub for tips and didn’t find any recent posts, so hopefully this will help someone who’s thinking of going. If you’ve been before or have more tips please add them. They do have a very active Instagram account, to give you an idea of the size of the place and the kinds of things they have. I noticed that this Saturday is sold out, so expect a really big crowd. Tickets need to be purchased online to enter at 10:00, or you can wait in line ‘till 11:00 when they’ll let people purchase entry as space permits. I arrived at 8:30, was 18th in line (on a weekday).  There was some street parking in the area.  There’s no Spot...

Early today I fell asleep and ended up at the mall. At first the dream started with my nephew and I looking for my mom. We ended up at a Chuck E. Cheese that was connected to the mall. There was a birthday party happening and after a while I decided to look around and discovered I could enter the mall through this place. As my nephew and I walked down a wing of the mall, the ground started to shake. Other people started to panic and run. All in the same direction. the ground started to break apart and down below in the cracks I could see lava rising. not only that but the walls and ceiling of the mall started to fall apart revealing that the mall wasn't really what it seemed. It was ...

**III** She made her way through the fires and found herself passing through dilapidated corners and abandoned places and streets overrun with miasmas of burning heat of scorched ashes of passing incense as disembodied canines lay upon the empty and desolate parameters as the town-folk wander in the activity of the heavenly embrace known as extinction. Such wild and barbarous men and women continually bred in the vicious cycles of lascivious fangs interwoven with the accumulation of history and all future determined by the invisible hands of the universe guiding its hands and guiding the play of rules they have been elected to perform in the cosmic colosseum of a violently impoverished ci...

found an ikea poang that works well with my other furniture, but i’ll be getting it in a compact sedan (jetta). will that be enough room? if not, can you use a normal flathead screwdriver to disassemble it enough to go in a car, as i don’t have the allen wrench used to assemble it originally

I'm just starting to watch this series again for at least the fourth time. I'm only up to episode 2, but my head is already exploding from all the plot holes in the Kim Bauer kidnapping plot. How did I never notice this before? First, Kim's entire involvement in the plot is arranged through her friend Janet, who is not in on what's really going on. So I have to ask... 1. What if Janet turned the invitation down? 2. What if Kim turned the invitation down? 3. What if Jack and Terri went to confront Kim two minutes earlier and caught her leaving? Then, Teri gets a call from "Alan York" to rope her into the plot. But consider... 1. How did "Alan" k...

Curious how other folks handle vintage furniture/decor items that arrive damaged? I’d say about 50% of vintage items I order from Etsy arrive damaged—and I’m paying for items that aren’t cheap ($300-$500) from vintage stores that are very credible. The items are not unusable (a lampshade arrives completely destroyed but the base is okay; a mirror arrives but part of the frame has cracked all the way though). I guess this is the chance you take when buying these things, but I’m like, “Am I insane for expecting them to arrive in good condition?” I feel like these sellers are often like, “I’m doing the best I can, it’s not my fault.” Which I totally get, and I want to...
