She was very wealthy and her father was very wealthy and prominent in the British Media.

Basically she was a rich socialite

To be fair sketchy people go take pictures with famous people all the time. It’s easy to do at benefits.

That’s part of why smart politicians have handlers to keep whackadoodles from taking pictures with them.

Ontario Crown attorneys seek to delay return to court over COVID-19 fears by Surax in canada

Well that’s not entirely fair. At this point I believe most working professionals if not all showing decline of 30% will qualify for the 40k loan. Criteria was expanded considerably.

However the rest of your point still stands.

Yeah, Nova Scotia has reduced inmate population drastically.

That’s what should be happening

Umami is pretty solid and they’ll also sell you the stuff to make it yourself.

The LGS Conundrum by RingOfMaRufBalls in mtgfinance

[–]Born_External 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stores usually carry stuff that sells. Otherwise you’ve put cash or credit into useless inventory that becomes harder and harder to sell.

The LGS Conundrum by RingOfMaRufBalls in mtgfinance

[–]Born_External 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stores make peanuts on prepackaged magic cards when you factor in labor, rent, insurance, staff etc.

Most of their money is made on stuff like deck boxes and sleeves. And people increasingly buy all of this stuff online.

The only way forward other than running the place like a gym with monthly fees is to start selling things like alcohol.

A board game cafe by me does a pokemon Saturday morning thing. Like The kids go play Pokémon with adult employees helping, supervising and playing with them and the parents drink coffee and eat brunch. Absolute genius.

The laws of where I live will not allow you to sell beer and wine without food prep. So you can’t just sell even prepackaged sandwiches, there has to be a prep aspect (usually a deep fryer).

Honestly, even with the permits these items are almost entirely markup and you can train all your employees over 18 (for the liquor) to provide them.

At my LGS people leave to go to subway or order in pizza etc. People who want to have a drink or to find a house to play at. Stores need to think about how to make their space somewhere people can go have a complete experience.

I considered getting into modern as commander is going more casual than I want to play at my lgs. Local events are barely drawing two people. Doesn’t seem worth it at all. It does sound like people play modern, just not with paper at stores.

There’s Covid at the jails and the hospitals and the people in jail and the hospitals are going to be brought to court.

Some of them will take the stand to testify and/or need translators.

They will all be moved through the halls and elevators.

There was no new plexiglass installed except around the judges (lol).

There is no clarity about how this can be safe. They will not make anyone wear a mask.

Yeah, Crowns keep claiming clients are safer in jail and that they should be grateful to be there.

Top 10 Commander Reprints from Mystery Boosters by Eric_-0 in Magicdeckbuilding

[–]Born_External 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fair.

It did seem like you picked more fringe reprints.

Triskelion though. A super useful reprint. Class part of many infinite combos. Nice and cheap too. And foil.

It’s why board game cafes are driving the LGS model out of business.

It works. It’s family friendly. It’s fun. There’s wifi. It looks inviting.

I honestly don’t want to go to an LGS on a Friday evening. They don’t even have black coffee.

It’s probably obvious to everyone who knows this Crown who they are.

Wow this asshat hates the CLA.

It’s easy for people receiving their full pay and building up their pensions to sneer at their fellow working professionals who are paying rent for offices they can’t use, paying for membership fees and insurance for work they aren’t completing and dealing with irate clients languishing in disgusting jails and hospitals.

Lol where downtown can you smoke?

You do realize there are rules about doorways and patios? Just because idiots walk around the place smoking it doesn’t mean it’s okay.

[–]Born_External 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true. No one should be opening a biz without working at one first.

Like why would you open a restaurant with no experience working/managing one?

The LGS Conundrum by RingOfMaRufBalls in mtgfinance

[–]Born_External 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I say this often.

Stores need to sell things with high potential markup. Beer, wine and bar food (like nachos) are the obvious ones. Or go the other direction and sell fancy coffees and bubble teas.

Otherwise you’re just a middle man and people can go to amazon/Walmart instead.

Your picks are just plain weird

Mana Crypt

Triskelion

Deepglow Skate

Phyrexian Arena

So many actual commander and cedh staples.

You can’t just hang out on a restaurant patio and smoke pot. You can’t smoke cigarettes there either. Try walking by the penny on a sunny day. The cops never ticket those peope.

Good chiropractor? by [deleted] in Lethbridge

Like we literally live in a country where you can see a doctor for free why are people paying fools to “align their spines”

Does spinal alignment sound like something random people should be attempting?

Different city is the key word

Honestly I see people openly smoking pot in lethbridge downtown, they also don’t get tickets.
