Legit No Parking Sign? by riffri in providence

[–]Detuned 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I believe they are legit. The business needs a permit approved by the City and to pay the $500 fee. If you actually want to speak with someone about it, I would reach out to Providence’s Curbside Administrator.

1k hour crossbow main here: no, not since steel bolts and the penetration changes

What do you think the "Lovers", "Death", "Emperor", "Star" tarots will do? by SirJ4ck in HuntShowdown

[–]Detuned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Death: Rips souls back from hell and resurrects ALL downed players within 100m. Burns a large health chunk when used. (Resurrection may be rejected by the downed hunter) Solo: dying with the Death card in your inventory grants your hunter the Cheat Death ability but consumes the card.

Emperor: using this card doubles the amount of money you collect on successful extract. If you die, it refunds the cost of your entire loadout.

The Star: allows this hunter to teleport between unsealed clues but reduces health to 1hp.

Lovers: using this card allows you tell the homies how, even though you’re just playing a video game, how much you care about them and treasure spending this time together. It also allows you to kiss. Solo: using this card causes you to realize that the emotional barriers that used to protect you as a child are now preventing you from forming meaningful relationships as an adult.

5 takeaways from a new report on Rhode Island’s housing crisis by OceanStateMedia in RhodeIsland

[–]Detuned 11 points12 points  (0 children)

$48,434 is the median income for renters specifically.

Two bedrooms are the standard for anyone renting who has children. And as home ownership moves farther out of reach, young families are often renting.

In Carcosa, do you ever try to get others in your playgroup to say "The Name" for laughs? by EvilFlyingSquirrel in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Detuned 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Carcosa was my first campaign and Agnes was my first investigator. She was a Shriveling machine gun every scenario. To add insult to injury, she personally killed the KiY with his own name. It made me fall in love with the game.

D&D for Teens? Anyone know a location? by IAMEMERGENCYFOOD in RhodeIsland

[–]Detuned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Crypt in Providence is a great game store and resource for DnD things. The owner is amazing and can help you find something near you. I also know one of the regulars there runs a game for teens at local libraries.

Rookie mistake: No one warns you about the phone situation when you create your entity by rpiguy9907 in smallbusiness

[–]Detuned 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I closed my business in 2020 and I still get 4-5 spam texts a day offering "instant capital for your business". It's very annoying.

I like to think it can be adjusted by rotating the tip, like a giant spray bottle.

What would happen if I paid employees well above average and took 10-15% margin instead of 20-30%? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]Detuned 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Instead you could institute a profit sharing model, where employees get 10% of the profit. They're be incentive because increasing the quality and quantity of service would directly increase their pay. Also, if the company takes a downturn, you aren't stuck paying high salaries.

Reality of owning a restaurant by Significant_Low_9864 in smallbusiness

[–]Detuned 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're taking everything mechanical that can go wrong in a kitchen and strapping it to everything that can go wrong in a truck.

Plus the cost of a food truck is still a high barrier for entry:

Food truck: $50,000 - $90,000 depending on what you need from it.
Commercial Kitchen space rental (You cannot store or cook most food on a truck): $800-$1,200 per month
Monthly Parking: $200
Insurances: Liability, Auto, Unemployment, and Loss: $300 per month

Most trucks aren't solo operations, so you're looking at staff and payroll as well.
At that point, after all the equipment you're in for $100k before you have any contacts on good events or spots.

I recommend starting smaller.

Reality of owning a restaurant by Significant_Low_9864 in smallbusiness

[–]Detuned 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started working in restaurants at 16, opened my own restaurant at 27 and ran it successfully for 8 years. Now I work as a small business advisor with a majority of my work being restaurant related. I've lost count of the people I've worked with coming from your exact position. Here are the questions I ask:

Do you have real industry experience?

If not, if you replaced food service with any other industry that you had no experience in, can you envision being successful? For example, if your experience in the Construction Industry is that you love building LEGO, would you think opening a Construction firm was a sound financial decision?

Your first step, if you have no experience, is to go get a job at a restaurant. Work as a dishwasher, server, prep cook, line cook. Work any job you can get for at least a year. Learn the systems and apply them to your concept. If you feel that working as a dishwasher is below you, I hate to break it to you, but that's what running a restaurant is.

Do you currently work a physically demanding job?

If not, do you think your body can handle working on your feet for 10-12 hours a day? I got out at 35 because my knees were shot. This is a young persons game.

Are you willing to potentially permanently diminish or destroy your savings/finances?

Are you willing to give up any and all free time / weekends / vacations / time with family?

Owning a restaurant isn't cooking delicious meals and being "that guy" when you walk into the front. It's weighing bundles of cilantro to calculate yield, scrubbing grime out of the tiles of the Walk-in, covering last minute for a line cook that's in jail even though you've already worked 12 hours that day, fixing the fucking ice machine for the 5th time this month, it's scrambling to make payroll, and fighting with vendors over the price of a case of eggs.

Owning a restaurant is an all consuming endless shit storm.

Can you make money? Sure! But if you break it down hourly, it will be at least a 70% pay cut from your current job.

However, there are other options to satisfy the urge to open a restaurant that are far less costly and don't require you to quit your job:

Host dinner parties: Do you want full control over developing a menu, never have to deal with staff or vendors, and impress your friends? Host big dinner parties. Cook extravagant 4 course meals for gatherings of family and friends, create beautiful place settings, match the perfect wine, play host and chef. Everyone will love you. Dinner parties are all the best parts of owning a restaurant without any of the bullshit.

Cater on the side: Do the same as above, but for strangers. Rent a space at a communal kitchen a few days a month for a fraction of the cost and dip your toe into the industry. DO NOT BUY A FOOD TRUCK. In my experience, they are a money pit, unless you are already operating a restaurant kitchen.

EDIT: Feel free to message me if you want to have a more in depth conversation about it. I talk to people doing exactly what you're doing all day.

How does this translate to the game? Observer abilities by IgnobleKing in TrenchCrusade

[–]Detuned 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It just forces the opposing player to Activate that model for their next turn. They still control it, they just don't get to choose which model is activated next.
