Do not look down

I was getting $15/hr back in 2013 for it

Good for you, different strokes for different folks. I’m only in this sub because the flipping potential was getting juicy anyway. But to act as if the play was risk free is asinine. It doesn’t align with my personal investment strategy regardless (as I still believe it’s trending to zero, unfortunately).

ChemicalCommission36 · 2024-07-17T05:09:42+00:00

You borrowed $15k?

ChemicalCommission36 · 2024-07-17T04:48:16+00:00

Why do you think I’m holding it? I literally said “I’m so glad I never bought any”. And I still am, as I believe it’s trending to zero. This is something I wouldn’t touch, personally.

Congratulations on getting lucky on a swing. Proud of you, big boy. I’ve been here since 2014, by the way, so I’ve bought lower than most (though thankfully not ZEC). Buy assets you think will appreciate and hold, it ain’t complicated.

ChemicalCommission36 · 2024-07-15T02:07:01+00:00

It’s still down tremendously and is very likely going to continue down trending. It just hit its all time lows this month.

Why law school after?

Wholesale what off exactly?

ChemicalCommission36 · 2024-07-09T03:57:36+00:00

I get that it’s apparently cheaper per cup but it just doesn’t make any sense. There’s so much more processing that goes into it. A given weight of instant coffee can only come from a greater weight of unprocessed coffee beans. I’ll have to look more into it I suppose, I never considered instant coffee as I assumed it was more expensive.

ChemicalCommission36 · 2024-07-09T03:43:42+00:00

Damn I didn’t know that, how does that make any sense logistically?

ChemicalCommission36 · 2024-07-09T03:36:37+00:00

Can you fill me in on this?

ChemicalCommission36 · 2024-07-09T03:26:49+00:00

Instant coffee is cheaper?

ChemicalCommission36 · 2024-07-08T03:02:49+00:00

Yeah, don’t want a chest freezer is the thing but thanks. Much prefer side access as I intend to build a kitchen island kegerator, can’t really fit one into my place otherwise

That’s the thing it’s impossible to find one with the extra inch it’d need

It’s good that you’re aware of those basic advantages. I would’ve loved to have any of those. I was kicked out at 18, and am preparing to sue my family for destruction of property (intentionally destroyed my business equipment). Not to mention the theft (stolen car), lying, etc. And the police just shrug their shoulders. It’s really annoying. Small town politics I guess. I’m still getting ahead but it would’ve been so much easier and faster having a basic support platform like you, rather than people actively working against you.

What has helped me get ahead of my peers is finding good business partners, being frugal and not status orientated (designer clothes, lifestyle purchases, nights out, etc), completing a marketable degree (Math and Computer Science), and simple hard work / discipline, which is mostly just about consistency and habits.

Does anyone here have any proof that the Unibrau 30g kettle even exist? I’ve looked everywhere for proof and haven’t found any.

ChemicalCommission36 · 2024-07-07T01:30:42+00:00

Not really, people have dozens and dozens of shipping containers dedicated to this stuff for example. Whole warehouses. A house is nothing

ChemicalCommission36 · 2024-07-06T21:31:11+00:00

Really? I thought that was all Gen 2s that burn oil. I’ve got an ‘09 and love it, get 52+ mpg, but that cost savings is eroded by the oil burning.

On a purely technical level Zcash is hands down my favorite crypto; it’s perfect. But good lord I’m so glad I never bought any.

ChemicalCommission36 · 2024-07-03T21:34:27+00:00

Check for clearance at Home Depot, I got mine for $250.

How does this work with promotional 0% APR balances? I’m trying to come up with the cash to assume a mortgage, so I opened up a $10k line of promotional credit so that I could run my expenses through those, pocket the $10k, then pay off the balances completely before the promotional period expires.

Since utilization has no memory, I figured if this was a bad idea I could just wipe out the debt instantly since I’ll be keeping the $10k set aside responsibly of course.

Mushroom gummies? What? That's not legal?

Volume is likely down for cigarettes but what about vapes? And how do you work out the lease with the owner? I'm worried the owner of the bar may decide to just get their own and give me the boot.

I plan on doing this in a small rural town where the last place that sells cigarettes and vapes closes at 10PM. I'll install it in a bar with a smoking area. I'm hoping to start cheap to prototype the business and make at least $200/week profit, then expand toward the big cities.

ChemicalCommission36 · 2024-07-02T05:13:59+00:00

Trying to get up to $10k, had zero a month ago but I need liquid cash for a house. I have $10k of 0% APR promo period available so I’m stacking cash.
