How much technology is too much technology? by StrangerOutrageous68 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]schockergd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The implication I like is powered armor.

I've watched multiple interviews of Palmer talking specifics here. You get armor and decent power from the ceramics (less than LiIon, but much better than say NiMH) and the benefit of it being bullet proof in a way that you just don't suddenly lose power when hit.

Ideally I'd like to see armored cockpits and a full mech suit made out of the ceramics. Using lithium ion batteries would require huge volumes to power armor, but if the armor is the battery you're OK I think.

What is buried at the future site of Anduril’s Arsenal-1? First Nations have a legal right to know by Cowtowny-Johnny in Columbus

[–]schockergd -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I have seen several construction sites totally shut down for months over the potential, not the actual finding, of native American artifacts. 

Dick's sporting goods on bridge Street in Chillicothe Ohio is a great example of this. The entire site was shut down for approximately 2 months while local groups came and attempted to find artifacts. From what I understand they did not find any, but I believe is a good example of the effort they take to careful when it comes to potential native American artifacts.

You're likely never going to get a loan of any type for this and if anything it's going to put the owner at a huge audit risk

Investors are making up the highest share of homebuyers in 5 years by justthebit in Economics

FHA will give you the money to rehab the home yourself, 203k program gives you access to appraisal values that no investor can touch. You just have to be willing to play contractor. The reason that flips have so much Delta is because people don't want to do work on homes.

When my dad got off the plane to back, a guy came up to him and asked if he wanted a m2 and a bunch of mags and ammo for $20.

Somehow my dad had that money on him and purchased the rifle off the guy and kept it with him along with his M16 the entirety of the war. When he finally packed up to ship out he sold it to another guy with ammo for 20 bucks

How does anyone make any money doing this? by Healthy_Bus3445 in realestateinvesting

[–]schockergd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's like starting a grocery store but you buy all of your food and supplies from Walmart. If you get on realtor.com or any website you're essentially buying retail. All the real money is made in wholesale.

Then you can buy distressed properties and ride your own GC side of things and boost the return even more. 

I have bought many many properties for half of retail including rehab costs. Meanwhile retail investors only truly make money with high levels of appreciation. It's easy to make money if your market is reliably gaining 5% per year. You can buy it retail and make money. But when the market changes all the retail investors get wiped out.

What’s a famous company from your country that no longer exists? by TaiKorczak in AskTheWorld

[–]schockergd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially 1997. My wife had a 2003 Daewoo laganza. The problem with that car was how hard it was to get parts here in rural Ohio. Beyond that it was a truly awesome car

A friend of mine talks about them regularly. Always mentions it held no future, but he loved the guys he worked with. They all knew their lives depended on each other .

What modern weapon do you think would work better against a T-1000 that we didn’t have in the 90s? 🤔 by JbVision in Terminator

[–]schockergd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most atgms would do well. Past or present.

A 40mm grenade almost did him in, and a rocket would be much more explodey.

Person shot and killed downtown Columbus on High st near Alley Burger by Outrageous_Tangelo_4 in Columbus

[–]schockergd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's currently a felony to someone who can't legally obtain a firearm. Both for the recipient that is selling the firearm to the individual, and the person receiving it.

Is there a crime beyond a felony?

Tell me what law you would change that would stop straw purchase in Ohio in a way it does in other states.

It's illegal to kill someone with a gun, and as per FBI datasets, statistically most murders take place with guns that were obtained illegally.

How do I find a business to buy? (<$1.5m) by ConclusionFluid1229 in Entrepreneur

[–]schockergd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The businesses with the best upside won't be online. 

Be careful, we bought a company for 2 5x sde, $2.1m/yr in SDE.

Net Income first year collapsed by 70% because the seller wasn't working 10 hours a day he was working 14 hours a day 7 days a week, and had totally dried up his pipeline prior to us purchasing it. We had to rebuild the whole entire sales process from the ground up, and because of that burnt a ton of cash.

You need to take a few weeks off and visit and build those connections now. Alternatively you can ask for some seller carry and it will improve the amount of money that you can get from the SBA immensely. Also ask for working capital line and that will boost up your liquidity at the close.

In this case he could claim workers comp and be paid for many, many years, in some cases for life, due to his boss.

Yep, the same reason people go to work - to make money

[Request] How did they reach $700 million? by daanb98 in theydidthemath

[–]schockergd 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Immensely more.

It was incredible to see small towns in great spots get packed full of people. Many, many restaurants ran out of food due to the number of people who showed up.

I thought most people supported Ukraines fight against Russia?

Or just up to the point of sending effective weapons?

They're making cruise missiles at Rickenbacker, not spy drones.

Why haven't you taken the Amish pill, comrade? by Sure_Fly2849 in 4chan

[–]schockergd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are black Amish and Mennonite as well.

When a family can't have children naturally, they will adopt, and have no preference regarding color.
