  • depends on how it’s declared and transported. as there is classes for each type.

    surprisingly, I believe jewelry and personal goods is the lowest tax bracket. which technically applies to alot of things even electronics.

    obviously every nation is different, but you have to be careful in how things are declared, otherwise they may be just flat out rejected because it wasn’t bought inside your nation. (censorship controls apply to imported goods like media, toys, magazines, electronics goods, and household items. it’s best to treat each thing not as what it actually is but what it’s made from to avoid refusals and overtax due to poor import system that blindly denies.)



  • as soon as food starts the process of production, before it even hits a preparation or cooking surface it has bacteria on it. nothing is completely clean.

    freezing, washing and cooking ingredients reduces these or makes them go dormant. but it does not get rid of them entirely.

    when it’s plated and served, that bacteria is already stating to revive and reproduce. by the end of a meal, between all the new nutrients from the human body added to the plate from the utensils, the leftover food is a breeding ground. this is why leftovers are generally considered risky if not handled properly.

    you simply cannot reliably disinfect them and the only things you can do is store it in a chilled environment to slow bacterial growth and reheat to aid in killing some but not all of that new growth off.

    if you start mixing these together, the salavia, which is unavoidable as spittle occurs whether you notice it or not, and trace amounts are on your utensils from mouth contact. plus any airborne contaminants from the person are in the food.

    it basically becomes a Petri dish. as it’s a perfect microcosm for bacteria and mold…

    we used to grow mold, yeast and fungus by spitting on potatoes and rice. to later harvest it. we understand it well.










    • licensed sign. if it’s not licensed, and printed overseas and shipped… it’s a looot cheaper. RadioShack signs were just black with red lettering. match the font, have plastic lettering made and use a black backing board and your done.

    for internal signs, about $30 for large prints. they come shipped in a large roll.

    it’s far cheaper than you think, what hurts you is things you cant simulate with plastic/cardboard/etc. actual goods on display.

    depending on the business you are targeting and the era. getting products to display that are in mint condition is expensive.

    surprisingly, the cheapest ones are clothing stores. you can just pick up reproductions. the plastic pushtags and original product label tags are cheap to make if you have references. they just make them in sheets with cardboard backing. you make a stencil, mark the outlines of each tag with a hobby knife and cut them out.

    the most expensive cost is the space. leasing and restoring/maintaing a space is not cheap. even “abandoned” malls still want premiums for those stores…


  • I suggest you look into lucid dreaming, hypnosis and shared dreaming.

    the brain is incredibly complex and only 1/15th of what we consider “conscious thought” is truly conscious.

    When we sleep, some parts of our brains remain active. historically we think it did this to keep a eye on the external stimuli(senses) so we can react to predators.

    but as we have evolved, our bodies and brains changed. we still try to process those sensory inputs, but we we sleep we stop receiving most of them, so our brain begins to fill in the blanks. as we do, our brain begins to recall trauma and pleasure, to try and process them. they are always ever present anyways, shaping how we experience reality. in this shapeless, sensory less space, its the primary drive of effectively internal hallucinations.

    as we sleep, we process those emotions by expierencing, emotionally drive hallucinations by our brain.

    how do we know this? it’s been documented via sensory deprivation experiments. the overlap with drugs such as LSD is uncanny and it led to a much deeper understanding of both psychology and dream studies.

    this is also why we now know “phantom limb” disorders are a result of psychological effects, not physical ones. the brain is fully aware of the lack of tissue, our psyche is the one that refuses to accept it does not exist. this is why people born with missing or deformed limbs do not expierence the same.

    all this said, dreams prevent us from going insane. without them, rest feels less fulfilling as our brain fails to relax. even a nightmare is better for the overall psyche, then endless silence.
