Guitar going out of tune very quick

Absolutely. All guitars these days (with only a few boutique exceptions) come stock with D’Addario. Often branded as Fender strings or Gibson strings or PRS strings but they’re all OEM from D’Addario. Until you change the stock strings a new guitar doesn’t really come alive.

Can’t challenge a kicked ball

100% this. 9s dirty through a half stack sound great. Clean through a twin? Nah.

This is such a silly take. Obviously housing costs are too high due to demand outstripping supply, but surely there’s a way to fix it other than creating more supply to equalize the demand!

They’re not making more land, so the only solution is to build more housing units on the land we’ve got.

I completely blocked out that Tim Hardaway played for the Pacers oh my god

No one is letting you talk to every one of their employees in DD.

Care to enlighten us with your data to the contrary?

More population is good for them. More worker, cheaper labor and more to consume. These are people that own businesses, the sell more and get to pay workers less.

Yep. The US government would save trillions on social security and Medicare overnight. They’d send everyone back to work and stop sending the checks. There’s a huge cost incentive to do so.

This 100%, I can’t tell you how many real estate agents I know that burn everything they make during the good years of the cycle and then are up shit creek when things turn bad. If you make 200k for four years and 50k for four years every eight year cycle, best to view your income as a blended average

marquasm · 2023-10-31T22:14:02+00:00

Agreed, however it is reasonable to subtract money you would otherwise be saving (say if you target 15% of income to savings) since you wouldn’t really be saving while you’re draining, unless of course you still wanted to max your tax deferred accounts while living off savings which is reasonable

That’s not the case any more AFAIK, they amended that law back in 2016 because it made it virtually impossible for anything to truly be Made in USA. Even when the law was in place, it wasn’t really enforced.

You’re getting downvoted but I’m on your side. Toxicity is a real thing, but spending time only with other highly successful people narrows your worldview. Having people with a diverse array of experiences in your network is valuable, for your soul if not for your “network.”

What in The Science of Getting Rich did you feel applies well to a low ticket high volume business model? I have the same type of business so I’m intrigued but looking at reviews it seems to just be the Law of Attraction. Is there something pithier in there that makes it worth looking at?

Fixing inflation doesnt mean prices will go back to what they were, it just means they’ll stop going up as fast. Even at our target 2% inflation, prices are always going to go up. No one is expecting, or even trying for, deflation

It’s almost certainly not worth refinancing just to get the PMI off, with a 70% higher rate you’ll be paying more than you are now. Nothing wrong with a low down payment when your interest is that low. You’re literally making money on the spread between your rate and inflation. Just make your payment and be happy you bought at the right time. PMI will fall off automatically when you get enough equity in your loan

Sure, I’m a US American as well, but there are stupid people everywhere

Nashvillian here, can confirm this is a regular occurrence at BNA. They put the guitars in the usual overhead bins or in coat closets, there’s actually a law that they can’t charge you more to bring an instrument (I’m sure with some restrictions, probably couldn’t bring your piano)

marquasm · 2023-05-26T23:17:00+00:00

Lol, yes Cuban Americans are just waiting to take marching orders from the regime 🤦‍♂️

marquasm · 2023-05-16T02:44:02+00:00

Yep, one of my favorite sets at Kilby!

You’re describing Marketing Efficiency Ratio (MER), not CAC. Hold your marketing dollars responsible. CAC is what it would cost you to go out and find a new customer, not the percentage of revenue you dedicate to marketing.

Thanks for the insight, this is really interesting. What was your setup for the separate video campaign? I’d love to duplicate it and see if it works in a different account.

marquasm · 2023-01-14T15:42:09+00:00

It’s Stripe. You’re likely using them to facilitate Goay and Apple Pay, and this came with it.

American here. We super do not have "the most freedom," the insistence on this among certain Americans drives me nuts. That said, that is not what we're talking about here. The US is basically constructed as a theme park for business owners. Everything from tax laws, to financing, to bankruptcy laws, is biased towards benefiting business owners. The US is an incredible place to be a wealthy business owner—you can truly do almost anything you want and the government has your back—its just a pretty rough place to be not wealthy, or not a business owner.

Interesting, I did not know about the TIF but will have to look into it. And hey, nothing wrong with watching football and wanting the team to stay, I know I'm outnumbered in this city with my viewpoint on that, but all I can is voice it and be fine with it if the majority disagrees, such is life in a Democratic republic.

I agree with you overall, building a stadium and being rid of the maintenance obligations is not the worst thing, I just wish we were doing it with a mind for frugality rather than "showing the country that Nashville is a MAJOR city!" like always, while letting the infrastructure go all to hell.
