Was just curious how much others are relying on free charging? Feel free to point out any pitfalls to my situation I don't see.
I was forced back to the office five days a week in March. One of the benefits is the parking garage for the office building has installed 8 level 2 charging stations. As it's a private garage and you need a badge to enter I've never seen more than 2 other EVs charging at any time.
My morning commute takes roughly 8-9% to get to work. I have Tessie setup to automatically set my charging limit to 88% when I arrive at work. I'll move my car the first chance I get after I get the fully charged notification. The car will then sit until I drive home, typically arriving at 78-80% SoC. At most I'll stay plugged in past charging completion for an hour.
On the weekend, I'll just drive the car as normal and not charge at home. Currently at 28% and probably won't move until I go to work tomorrow. Monday's I typically have been leaving the car in the charger for the whole day and that just about makes up for the whole weekend's worth of driving.
I have my level 2 setup at home but haven't used it once since having to go the office. Saving me about $50-75 a month.

I am watching one of Eddies lives only to see that I have a “JYM” badge. I’m freaking out that I accidentally subscribed. I then find that he has people sending people free subscriptions. Has anyone else had this happen? He’s obviously brainwashing these people and has no real subscribers.

Epic Bg win box, bllitz, and bought one for 5k. Still no badges and done the sparks and cache weekly. Are they locked behind a quest ?

Understanding Seller Fulfilled Prime (SFP)

Seller Fulfilled Prime allows merchants to display the Prime badge on their listings without utilizing Amazon's Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) warehouses. Sellers handle storage, packaging, and shipping, but must adhere to Amazon's high standards for delivery and customer service.

Eligibility Criteria for Seller Fulfilled Prime

To participate in the SFP program, sellers must meet several stringent requirements designed to maintain the Prime standard:

1. Professional Seller Account

A professional seller account on Amazon is mandatory. This account provides access to a range of selling tools and the ability to list products in multiple categories, essential for managing Prime listings effectively.

2. Prime Shipping Performance Requirements

Sellers must demonstrate the ability to meet Amazon's rigorous shipping standards, including:

• Fast Shipping: Ability to deliver products within two days.
• Consistent Performance: Maintaining a high level of on-time shipments, typically 99% or higher.
• Tracking: Providing tracking information for at least 99% of orders.
• Cancellation Rate: Keeping order cancellations under 0.5%.

3. Trial Period

New SFP applicants must undergo a trial period where they must fulfill Prime orders to Amazon's standards without the Prime badge. This period tests the seller's ability to maintain the required shipping and service metrics.

4. Eligible Shipping Carriers

SFP participants must use Amazon-approved carriers to ensure timely and tracked deliveries. Approved carriers include UPS, USPS, and FedEx, among others.

Operational Requirements for Seller Fulfilled Prime

1. Warehouse and Inventory Management

Sellers must have robust warehouse operations to manage inventory, process orders swiftly, and ensure accurate stock levels. This includes:

• Efficient Picking and Packing: Systems in place to quickly and accurately pick and pack orders.
• Inventory Accuracy: Regularly updating inventory levels to prevent overselling.

2. Shipping and Handling

Adhering to Amazon's strict shipping protocols is crucial:

• Shipping Speed: Orders must be shipped out quickly, often the same day or within one business day.
• Handling Times: Minimized handling times to ensure prompt delivery.

3. Customer Service Excellence

Maintaining high standards of customer service is vital. This includes:

• Returns Processing: Efficient and hassle-free returns process.
• Customer Support: Responsive customer support to handle queries and issues promptly.

Technical and Compliance Requirements

1. Integration with Amazon Systems

Sellers need to integrate their systems with Amazon's to streamline order processing and tracking. This typically involves:

• Order Management Systems (OMS): Integration to manage orders from multiple channels.
• Inventory Management Systems (IMS): Keeping real-time inventory updates.

2. Compliance with Amazon Policies

Sellers must comply with Amazon's selling policies, including:

• Product Listings: Accurate product descriptions and adherence to listing guidelines.
• Pricing: Competitive pricing strategies that align with Amazon's pricing policies.

Benefits of Joining Seller Fulfilled Prime

1. Increased Sales Potential

Displaying the Prime badge can significantly boost sales by attracting Prime members who prioritize fast, free shipping.

2. Greater Control Over Inventory

SFP allows sellers to maintain control over their inventory and avoid the fees associated with FBA storage.

3. Enhanced Customer Trust

The Prime badge is synonymous with reliability and speed, enhancing customer trust and loyalty.

Challenges and Considerations

1. Meeting Stringent Requirements

The high standards for shipping and customer service can be challenging to maintain, particularly for smaller sellers.

2. Cost Management

While SFP eliminates FBA fees, sellers must manage their own shipping costs, which can be substantial.

3. Operational Complexity

Running an efficient warehouse and logistics operation requires significant investment in systems and processes.

Steps to Enroll in Seller Fulfilled Prime

1. Apply for the Program

Submit an application to Amazon expressing your interest in joining the SFP program.

2. Undergo the Trial Period

Successfully complete the trial period, demonstrating your ability to meet Amazon's shipping and service standards without the Prime badge.

3. Pass the Trial and Earn the Prime Badge

Once you meet the necessary performance metrics, Amazon will grant your listings the Prime badge, and you will officially be part of the SFP program.

My friend and I are making this post together.
For some background: Our trans friend (Female to male) who we will call A ran away from his home back in December or January. He got "raped" by two men while he was gone and we consoled him for a considerable amount of time. He got admitted to a mental hospital for about two weeks or so and is now heavily medicated for other reasons.
To clarify, we see him as a guy. His gender identity is relevant to what we are about to discuss.
We are not sure on what to do on this situation and would love feedback on how to approach this. It is a hard topic to discuss with him because he always makes excuses and blames it on something else then just dances around the point.
Btw because we say it a lot T and S are the posters :)
He has told us many times that he was raped by people who didn't actually rape him. For instance his dad who he admitted never actually did anything and his uncle but after we asked for details turned out the uncle just put his hand uncomfortably on him (It was not okay for the uncle to do, but in no way shape or form was rape). A told us for the longest time that we was raped twice while he was gone. But recently he has admitted that the first guy who "raped" him actually was going to pay for sex but never paid. The second guy our friend WILLINGLY went to a motel with him under no influence of drugs and/or alcohol and was not forced into going. Btw all the information we have on what happened came from A.
After all this happened A did not seem to be traumatized and stated bluntly that he wasn't. Because of "family issues" he usually stays at T's house. At night A takes prescription drugs that make him HIGH OFF HIS MIND. While he is high he is exposed to T's sisters, B(12) and C(4). They are both impressionable children who are regularly exposed to A when he is like that. A also leaves his meds where the 4yo (who mind you is smaller then a normal 4 year old) can easily grab and eat them.
A also uses T's family for things. Example: T's mom is a nail tech and A (Before T addressed it) would regularly ask for free manicures. He also has T's mom buy him stuff without asking first. A has a knack for getting into online relationships and then breaks up with them and plays the victim. We have told him many times to quit and he refuses. He is "gay" but as we see him as a guy, and whenever he tickles C into making her squeal we are rightfully conflicted. Its weird. A guy tickling a 4 year old girl to make her squeal?????????
And he is VERY manipulative, but whenever we bring it up it's always the "trauma". He can never be at fault and heaven forbid someone else have a problem. He also says to people online "I'm gonna touch you" but when people online say it to him he responds with "Just like my rapist." Even though he said he was over it. He continues to lie to us and is baffled we don't trust him anymore.
T also told him that if he didn't become sober he would be banned from her house. He lied about being sober and told me (S) so naturally I told T and A just laughed it off and still came back in a way that it was hard to decline him. Whenever someone does something he doesn't like, it "invokes trauma in him." Doesn't matter what it is, he finds a way to make it give him "PTSD" that he doesn't even have.
Whenever we have grievances with how he behaves we are called "Transphobic" even though we have never had a problem with his gender identity, and I (S) have only miss-gendered him on accident a few years ago when he first transitioned (I've known him for 5 years and T has known him for 2.) He keeps overstepping boundaries, for example he keeps telling me to off myself even though I have told him many times to stop. And whenever we get into conflicts with us he magically tried and failed to off himself the night before.
He keeps using us and our families in a way that its hard to call him out on. He also tries to one up me personally (S) and frequently puts me down in front of others. We can't discuss anything with him about how he acts because he always blames it on someone else and calls us "Transphobic." We don't know what to do because he is so integrated in our personal lives. And when we say he blames his "trauma" a lot, we mean he cant go 30 minutes without bringing up how "traumatized" he is and wearing it like a badge of honor.
After a while of his trauma being his only personality trait besides being a "whole" (His words) it becomes old. We are scared for mainly T's family because they are very much effected by this because of how much A stays at T's home for days on end with no warning. He only says he is sleeping over late in the day and does not tell when he is going home. He overstays his welcome way too much and it's tiring.
A is our dear friend and we would like not to cut him off if at all possible, but what he is doing effects us and mainly T's family.
Any advice would much appreciated.
Thank you for reading.
Small inclusion after the fact: by the title we meant that the trauma that didn't really effect him (That's what he told us when it happened) shouldn't be used in a weaponizing way and is downplaying people who do struggle with these problems. sorry for the misscommunication on our part!
Btw also some more background: Our friend claims to have autism but refuse to get diagnosed. I (S) have two sibilings on the spectrum and have told him its disrespectful because he shows few symptoms and outright REFUSES to get diagnosed. He has done the same thing for multiple other self diagnosis'.

I was wondering if anyone knew the name to a strange and obscure game I played a while back,from what I can remember you spawn in a forest with a singular flashlight in your inventory.I remember spawning next to or near a well and there being a river to the northwest of spawn what separated the forest from a mountain range,I also remember there being a small shack at a flat plain at the top of the mountain.There were also what I remember as “entities” walking around this forest what would do bleed damage to you overtime if they made physical contact with your character,I also remember there being a glacier-like area that had large crevices running through it.There was also a dilapidated shack with a game badge plate outside it what had an anime character on it if I’m remembering correctly.If you know anything about the game I’m talking about please feel free to help me out in the comments.
