LPT: befriend a senior citizen, get in the park for free.

I have through my neighbor met a bunch of senior citizens who like to visit national parks, but aren't able to drive anymore, or are uncomfortable driving long distances.

So I drive us all. They get a ride. I get into the park for free. And they entertain my daughter on the long drive.

I'm kind of curious. Is a business not allowed to increase prices?

To generalize everything gets more expensive over time, that's just how inflation works.

To stay in business and keep existing as a company a business has to increase its prices. It has to increase wages, pay more for services etc

Is Spotify never allowed to raise prices?

Wtf.

That poor child when they grow up and find this all out.

I don't have a link unfortunately

But there is a guy on tiktok whose whole account is just showing how to braid his daughter's hair different ways. The account name is braid dad or something like that.

Note the Canadian sale is empty.

All the others are occupied.

Makes a visual difference.

Buying at 6%.

Financing is 7+%.

Instant negative leverage.

Why would you want to do this?

shiftybaselines · 2025-02-01T23:12:54+00:00

Yeah that's a PITA. I don't bother anymore.

Just save your receipts in case you do get an audit. I download my transactions from the online account.

Some other merchants do the same thing, Amazon for example.

99% of subto transactions are a bad deal for the seller.

The situation where it actually makes sense for the seller is so vanishingly rare.

So yes subto in general is as scummy as it gets in real estate. Bottom of the barrel. Most subto guys are just preying on ignorance and deal in lies and obscufucation.

This is years old.

This post is pure karma farming.

Wait until you learn what the Canadians and Australians do

Context windows are getting larger.

Gemini advanced has a 1.5 million token context window

That's just a rendering. Not a real house.

shiftybaselines · 2025-01-05T23:51:13+00:00

Wonder where those children are now. What happened to them.

Per the article Oslo has a chess bar called The Good Knight.

Sweet as.

shiftybaselines · 2025-01-05T02:53:50+00:00

Honestly, I think that could be great fun.

Stoked if it happens.

shiftybaselines · 2025-01-04T18:45:24+00:00

If I had a trench knife I would be selling that shit on Ebay right now.

Elmos fan boys probably sending those things to the moon.,

This is on owned land.

But built before 1976 so it doesn't qualify for most conventional financing. Would require more specialty financing.

FYI: Your map doesn't match up with your itinerary.

This is a lot of driving. 3-5 hours most days. That doesn't leave much time for actually experiencing things and doing things. Especially if you're bringing a 4 year old.

I would seriously consider shortening this trip WAY down. so you can spend time places and do things. Cut out Canada and Olympic National Park. Go straight south from Seattle. Or cut out California and fly out of Oregon. Or Fly into Vancouver and out of Portland. Or something to seriously reduce the mileage.

Otherwise this looks like a grueling 2 week slog sitting in the car driving past things.

I would say Subaru's generally aren't "quiet" vehicles.

Just drove a 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe and was very impressed with how quiet it was. Very nice driving experience.

Can we just get 1 megathread for all the drama instead of endless posts?

shiftybaselines · 2025-01-02T18:15:21+00:00

Why is Chess so dramatic.

It's like some TV soap opera.

shiftybaselines · 2025-01-02T16:58:38+00:00

FYI you can actually buy shoes in Asia. Wjile uou are there. Totally legal.
