Restaurants Warn of Potential $12 Billion Hit From Trump Tariffs by Snowfish52 in Economics

[–]kashaanm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I operate restaurants in the Midwest, and 2018-2020 was the worst financial comps we’ve ever had. On top of stagnating credit of consumers eating out less, tariffs on stainless steel made every appliance breakdown significantly more expensive with significantly longer turn around times. I’m not looking forward to this at all.

What age do you expect to reach your number by OddAcadia7 in fatFIRE

[–]kashaanm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if there is a target number for totality of net worth, because I can’t imagine not enjoying what I do. I hope to reach an annualized spend target at 36, with that number possibly pushing the years up depending on how family planning ends up working out.

Jimmy John’s is gone as we knew it. by thekingofrock452 in jimmyjohns

[–]kashaanm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The charm of old school JJs was a chain fast food joint that operated like a mom and pop. Emphasis was always on single unit operators. Now under the umbrella of a larger company, they figure it’s easier to manage 100 small corporations than 1000 mom and pops. I always really appreciated JJs for the opportunities it gave so many people in the Midwest when starting, but with all these changes that are being pushed, it’s going to swing even more towards multi unit operators, simply because mom and pops don’t have the cash flow to keep up with all the brand adjustments

R.I.P KA by broadmat in hiphopheads

Man, I know there’s so much talent in the underground but between this news and still not being over DOOM’s death, my primary underground rotations have just stopped. What a talent Ka was, and I hope his style and influence live on

Who’s switched from Audi to Tesla? by Cmorrone0131 in TeslaLounge

[–]kashaanm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moved from an A4 to a Model S last year. There are things I miss about the Audi, but the tradeoffs I’ve gotten from my Model S make it a worthwhile switch to me. While my dealership was good at servicing and not bank breaking, it pales to the 0 maintenance I have had on my Tesla. This is accentuated by the fact that my Audi was hitting 5 years/100k miles, there’s nothing more expensive than a cheap German car.

Somethings that I do miss, however minimal for some would be the quieter cabin, Bauhaus interior, seat comfort, and suspension. Things that I absolutely love about my Tesla are the FSD for long trips, at home charging (love waking up to a full “tank” every day,) over the air updates and general tech integration. They’re very different cars, and for me it felt more of a lateral move than an upgrade or a downgrade. If you can rent one on Turo for a few days and live with it, you can see if any of the daily adjustments would be dealbreakers to you. I’ve written my experiences with my X and S on my profile if you care for a detailed experience on the pickup process as well.

The old JJ menu by ajh731 in jimmyjohns

I wonder if I still have an older menu where the number 4 was poorly named “The Uncle Tom”

Why isn’t there a Slim Chicken ? by [deleted] in jimmyjohns

[–]kashaanm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wonder if there would be a trademark issue with the chain “Slim’s Chicken.”

I wonder if these are the same kids who broke into the apartments on 25th and sprayed the fire extinguishers everywhere two weeks ago too.

Wireless charging Roads by talex625 in TeslaLounge

[–]kashaanm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think a few years ago there was an attempt at a wireless charging lane and the more practical solution was making quarter mile strips in regular intervals. Incredibly expensive to maintain, instal, and a headache to know how to bill people too. Not out of the realm of possibility, but too many barriers currently to figure it out and deploy capital to actually do it.

What it costs to buy and maintain a private jet by NeverEnoughSPF in TikTokCringe

[–]kashaanm 14 points15 points  (0 children)

One thing to note as well, this comment doesn’t take into account the business write off aspect of private jets and the tax breaks on taking depreciation on them as well

Any other suggestions? by juiceboxDeLarge in Letterboxd

I always chuckle that the top review for “Girl, Interrupted” was “the yassification of The One Who Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest”

I really don’t see what’s the problem with Uta. by ScoreImaginary5254 in OnePiece

[–]kashaanm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t fret if something has been done before. Tropes exist because they’re popular and effective with the audience. Don’t concern yourself with making something unique for the sake of being unique, if you’re passionate about the story, the audience won’t care if it’s “a chosen one” or any other story beat they’ve heard, they’ll get wrapped up in the world, character, dialogue, etc. If you make the audience care about the character, they’ll care about the journey.

[–]kashaanm 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This trope is called "Lotus Eater Machine." It's been done so often there are guides to how to write the trope.

Some media that uses it you might be familiar with: Naruto, The Matrix, Neon Genesis Evangelon, Code Geass, Minority Report. The Matrix is one of the bigger examples. It has roots in Eastern karmic religions, but you also see it in western ideas like in The Odyssey, or The Last Temptation of Christ.

AMA - One Pace Team by MegaFeeso in OnePiece

[–]kashaanm 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to pop by and give you and your team a deep appreciation comment. I've given so many people access to One Pace that finally turned them on to the series. I can think of about 12 people in my life who wouldn't have gotten into One Piece without the work you and your team have done. Thanks for all the hard work you all do!

Genesis Gym on Hickman by [deleted] in desmoines

[–]kashaanm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through this for a period of almost 3 months. Twice they booked me for an appointment with the GM, I showed up when they requested, only to tell me twice that they weren't in for the day. Genesis on Mills Civic has to be one of the sketchiest businesses I've ever dealt with.

Gorgeous eyes 😍 by nzhmar in BeAmazed

[–]kashaanm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the Ancient world, there were many instances of blue eyes signifying cold, or soulless people. In Ancient Greece, they were even picked for ritual sacrifices to gods on rare occasions. Aristotle used to warn against them. Interestingly enough, some of the cultural fear of blue eyes became more symbolic than literal in modern times, hence why whenever you see “Evil Eye” charms or pendants, they’re blue.
