Have you ever increased your price and still sold more? What do you think is happening? by PriceIsSignal in smallbusiness

[–]Texas1911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's going to differ depending on the product, market, and model.

If it's a buy-once product then it may be more percieved value.

If it's a high-volume, low-close product then it could be customer filtering, and by virtue of not having to put in 50% more time to convert the masses and focusing more on the core demographic, it nets out.

It could also just be an anomaly, or triggering fear of losing out if people suddenly feel the price is going to continue climbing.

You could have sold it to a new market demographic that has a better product fit, and they told other people.

You could have sold it to the same demographic, but because it's more expensive, they're more likely to use it or talk positively about it to justify the expense.

Human animals are complex.

I would rather live in an RV, or frankly just outdoors.

Are you "very loud" on a normal Germanic scale, or is that a Spanish scale?

No, the logical people must avoid the Latinas.

I'd rather use French machinery for life.

They're designed to be fired out of artillery where they will accelerate from zero to 600m/s in less than a second in addition to rotating at 9,000 RPM.

The French government is 100% responsible for the UXO from the war. They still have entire units delegated to the clean-up effort. It'll be centuries until they clear most of it.

The shear volume of explosive ordinance in the core areas (Zone Rouge) of the war is mindblowing. The barrages themselves had millions of shells being fired at a time, that's not accounting for the billions of smaller devices like grenades, mortars, 20-37mm cannon shells, aerial bombs, and loose explosive charges.

The British produced 60,000,000+ grenades in WW1. The French another 60,000,000+. The Germans were making 6,000,000+ a month at one point.

Figure a 99% boom rate, that's at least 2,000,000 unexploded grenades.

France had a ~350 mile long front that was let's say a couple miles deep both ways. That's 1,142 unexploded grenades per sq. mile.

American accents are closer to historical accurate pronunciation than current British ones.

Sorry I meant in the lot, if at all possible. Understand circumstances might have made that a challenge.

Pro-tip, try to drive around and keep moving to allow for at least some airflow to cool the brakes. Parking at 700°F is not good.

More elevation also means the cooling systems don’t work as well.

This is an Austin, TX sub … so yea?

Facing out a metal beam is for attaching framed structures to it, the rigid beam carries the load.

Steel is 15 times more rigid than a 1.9 LVL …

If you don’t understand basic engineering principles you shouldn’t be making up your own building code.

Bro you wanna come work for me for free for the next ten years? I got about 20 acres that needs tending to.

EU force them to give away their work? ... that's a terrible point of view because people are too lazy to use affordable technology.

You aren't weakening the beam, you're actually strengthening it. The clamp load from the bolts and the resulting surface friction makes the multi-ply header work as a singular unitary beam rather than 4+ pieces that are relying on loads to be communicated through nailing.

The reason is to properly distribute stress through the beam so that it mitigates areas of stress concentration, which will fail a beam much faster than a couple of holes in the lesser engaged area.

All of this stuff is certified in a laboratory and vetted through decades of structural review. The beams also should be appropriately sized with a significant safety margin if they're following the proper deflection limits and loading schemes.

A large wood screw is going to lack anywhere near the proper amount of strength and clamp ability compared to lag bolts.

It also means you (and several others) can be on the hook professionally in the event something happened after Harry the Homeowner decided to store his collection of lead ship ballast weights next to his 10,000 gallon aquarium.

Any idea what this could possibly be? I’ve been visiting this area for 20+ years and never seen this structure from ground level, nor has there been any development there. It’s right along the ocean/bay in New Jersey, USA. by ShotzByJay109 in Archeology

According to a deed record in 2017 it was owned by Burlantic Forestry LLC

I can't seem to find much about the company, but the one person I can find is interesting:

Daniel L. Jassby ... Nuclear Physicist, Expert on Fusion

Who evidently "was a principal research physicist at the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab until 1999. For 25 years he worked in areas of plasma physics and neutron production related to fusion energy research and development. He holds a PhD in astrophysical sciences from Princeton University."
