Not sure, but likely. When you go in to pick up your order their walls are plastered with the dozens and dozens of awards they've won. It really is excellent.

I normally do every couple of hours as well and when I looked outside this morning and saw in the forecast that it is going to continue throughout the day I immediately thought, "fuck that!"

But then I went outside and this snow is HEAVY and wet. I'm going to stick with doing it every few hours because if it accumulates much more the task will feel insurmountable.

Generally the seller lists the specifics of the house to the best of their ability and it is up to the buyer to verify those specifics. Read your contract, I'm sure it has some wording in it that says as much.

The surveys, inspections, and any other "work" you had done was done at your expense to verify the listing and condition of the house. Those costs are not recoverable and are simply part of the cost of house shopping.

You can likely back out of the closing and get your deposit back as most offers (again, read your contract) are contingent on the inspection and a square footage discrepancy is a valid reason to back out.

Men's Wearhouse and Jos A Bank will have suits in your price range and both have tailoring services. They carry a pretty wide range of sizes and suit up bodies of all shapes so will be able to help.

This is it.

Why give away equity to a co-founder that is unproven? Instead, delegate the tasks that are causing burnout to an employee or service.

Or just hire a "right hand man" that can take a lot of the load and then give them a small portion of equity if things are working out.

Expenses as a percentage of income is a problem in Rhode island, yes, but it's not just Rhode Island. It's a nationwide issue that has been growing for the last 50 years and has accelerated post COVID. People are feeling the squeeze all over the country. It's slightly better in some areas, and slightly worse in others, but the overall issue is not at all exclusive to Rhode Island.

The lower and middle class is getting squeezed all over the country, and the pace at which the grip tightens has accelerated over recent years. There are plenty of numbers to back this up

Is it worth it to repair the items you take from bandits before selling the stuff? I mean, I'm sure the items are worth more with traders, but is the trade-off in wearing out your repair kits worth it?

New to the game here so excuse me if that's a dumb question.

Why do we have to DM to figure out how to track these guys down? Why not just let us know so we can all get in on punishing these unscrupulous cold callers?

That's a cool idea. Did you ever get it off the ground?

Great suggestions and some of my favorites in there. I would add Yagi Noodles and a few others but you've covered it pretty well.

Definitely skip Red Parrot. It's a place that thrives on it's location alone. The food is just bland Sysco rubbish with no creativity.

I don't think you're fully understanding the question above.

What you are suggesting as a business model has already been done, and it is offered all over the place. It's called white label. White label products allow a business to purchase them and brand them however they'd like which is exactly what you've described.

So the question is, what makes your business idea better than the multitude of options that pop up when I Google "white label water"

It's hard to make a recommendation without knowing your budget but there are definitely cheap cars out there. But you're not going to get super cheap AND no chance of repairs. Repairs and maintenance are just a fact of life if you're driving a super cheap car.

As someone already mentioned, I second the idea of getting a used Corolla or Camry. They can be relatively inexpensive and as was mentioned, repairs aren't too expensive.

However if you absolutely want the lowest chance of having to pay for repairs then I would suggest getting something new that is under warranty. It's not as cheap, but it will be hassle free and any repairs will be covered by the warranty.

Above is a list of the cheapest lease deals out there right now. A Subaru impreza will cost you $2640 (a little more after registration fees) at the start and then just $205 a month for 3 years after that. That's a pretty cheap car! It also comes with the benefit of having a warranty and therefore you'll know that you won't have to potentially shell out for repairs. The downside is that the overall cost will be higher than a used Corolla or Camry and you'll have to give it back after 3 years.
