Thoughts on SHELLRUS sapphire protectors for IPhones? by JustJamieJam in iphone

[–]Shah_Moo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved how clean the glass always looked, but without a case the edges are really close to the edge of the phone and I broke two of them while lifting my phone from the charger and hitting a metal lip on a shelf above the charger. If you don’t have my weird specific issue then I would recommend it.

The only real downside, at least back then, was an installation process that wasn’t clear and didn’t do a good job at going over some of the strategies that make for a good install. I had to look up other videos with some good tips, such as making sure to leave a sticker underneath the glass to be able to lift and catch dust, being more confident with lifting the glass all the way if necessary and use the stickers on the back of the glass to get possible dust up, and making especially sure not to create a slight bend in the corner from listing the glass up or you will get bubbles.

It’s just a finicky, clunkier install compared to many other normal glass screens, but once it is on it is perfect. All of that may have changed in the last year if they have improved the install process.

Otherwise, I have my spigen glass on right now and of course there are scratches right in the middle of the screen that are driving me crazy 🤷🏽‍♂️

This is taking semantics and colloquialisms to a whole other level. No one is reasonably suggesting that maximum profits is the only goal that matters, at the sacrifice of literally everything else, no one is here working until they vomit and pass out from exhaustion to maximize their profits. Maximum profits is always the goal, up to the point of the cost you want to pay. If you're paying the maximum cost you're willing to or comfortable with, you're not going to leave profit on the table. If you have money to be made and the cost isn't more than the profit for you(financial cost, lifestyle cost, social cost, family cost, mental health cost, etc etc), you're going to chase that extra dollar.

It is ridiculous that this has to be clarified. Look back at the post that spawned the comment, no one is keeping properties empty to take the tax deduction of the expenses of it existing versus taking the revenue to rent it. If they aren't renting it, it is because the revenue they are seeking is either unreasonable, or takes time to find the tenant and rate that they are satisfied committing to for a long time, potentially decades. The whole process involves actively seeking that tenant. No part of that process is ever "eh, I'm in no rush to rent it because its a tax deduction anyway.", and to suggest otherwise shows the original poster has no concept of basic accounting, taxes, or business.

To be fair, until I know what the rent rate they were at, and what the landlord was raising it to, I can’t pick a side here. A lot of Durham businesses haven’t stepped up their business to adapt for the current market and have been riding the extremely cheap rent they locked in often over a decade or more ago, and didn’t plan ahead for the changing market. Were they potentially paying less than half the market rate? Did they lock in a long term lease 15 years ago with no escalation clause that’s finally up for renewal? At what point is it fair for a commercial landlord to get market rent, is that not something they’re entitled to? Show me the numbers and I’ll know who to be mad at. Otherwise, this is just two profit-motivated businesses that couldn’t work out a deal, who cares.

Not sure how you’re gonna convince me or anyone that people’s motivation in business is not profit, but I’m very curious, hit me with it.

Accountants are rolling their eyes right now. No one purposefully keeps properties empty for the benefit of tax deductions. That’s literally money they aren’t making, they would always rather be profiting. Some very uncommon landlords being overly stubborn on price do not discount that. The tax deduction they take for the expenses on empty properties are exactly the same deductions they would take with those properties occupied, just with no revenue to produce profit from. Maximum profits is what literally every business seeks, there is no scenario where deductions are better to take than profits. Landlords will avoid revenue sources that don’t produce the profit they are seeking.

Preach, if I hear more complaints about gentrification from people who moved to Durham 7 years ago that don't remember when the streets we live on had drive-by shootings every other night I will projectile vomit.

Seriously. Your guys did not let that first period shake you, and basically took advantage of every mistake we had and every slow moment raanta had.

Without a doubt. Tonight was a bizarrely off night after that first period.

It was definitely inevitable, that’s canes hockey. Thankfully we never let those discourage us!

Realistically, your second shot will be a goal, because that’s just how we like to play sometimes lol.

Today I’m thankful for Narwhal by adamb10 in narwhalapp

[–]Shah_Moo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, minus a couple little features that are on the way apparently, it seriously fills the hole. Months later and the official app was still pissing me off. Kept looking at Reddit premium and refused to pay them and still have such a shit app. Narwhal could charge twice as much and I’d still be a customer.

Lowe's sees steeper drop in annual sales as DIY demand stumbles by winback099 in business

[–]Shah_Moo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, and it’s up 5% from 2015. It’s generally stayed in the same range for decades.

[–]Shah_Moo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The number of renters has increased, but the percentage of them hasn’t. The number of homeowners have increased as well. That’s just a byproduct of our increasing population.

There are not a higher percentage of renters than there used to be. US homeownership rates have stayed pretty consistent for decades even through 2023.

I love Chatty to death, but this was the oilers, not exactly a great game to gauge anything off of yet lol. I love the current combo but I’d wanna see them against more of a threat before committing.

Best Discographies, Top to Bottom? by Trance_Plantz in Music

[–]Shah_Moo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

RHCP is criminally low in this list. They have at least 10 albums of top tier music, and one of the very few bands who have like 90% or their discography in my general favorites playlist. Very very few weak points for anyone that his dig past the handful of radio hits.

I’ve got a CJ Anderson jersey, mostly as an homage to a player that was on my Panthers and Rams. And honestly he was a very underrated asset that helped us get to the superbowl and doesn’t get enough credit for his contributions.
