also to use as a front for money laundering, of course.

idk, an old work associate's dad owned 5 laundromats. Seemed to be a pretty crappy investment. I think he did marginally okay but was constantly complaining about a zillion different problems that would come up. Seemed like he worked 24 hours a day.

I noticed that my local cleaners now sends all their work out. They are now literally a store front with a fancy clothes rack and a loading/unloading area in the back.

What about a barber shop like Supercuts? Seems low maintenance. It's just that the high employee turnover may be a pita.

In a different direction, my best friend's Dad built a 4 tenant dental/medical building in Western Pennsylvania. That thing almost immediately generated positive cash-flow and is close to zero maintenance.

What about providing a GeekSquad/computer repair service? The prices people pay to basically have cables plugged in is ridiculous.

all i have is cash. every time i invest in anything, i lose. i'm worried us dollar is gonna tank. i'll buy some gold coins if i'm not too lazy

I'm gonna drive to Louisville and meet pwns one of these days. And I guarantee we will document the historic pog event with an entertaining video of it after and post it here in the Pub! But iirc he always goes to Hawaii right after the WSOP so that'll have to wait a few weeks.

Also I might go down to Houston and see McAvoy, assuming he's still out of jail. He's renovating a house there, aka squatting in some slum tenement. That would entail significantly less driving.

Eat a kfc buffet and we can post it in the fast food thread as well.

I've been playing a few games on the chess.com app. Amplify won't play me because I play a few moves a day, not a game in 20 minutes , but if anyone else is on there, look me up as LeatherbackTurtle.

What did amp get banned from pog for anyway, it's been so long I can't even remember.

its 81 in LA, and i walked less than 2 miles on the sidewalk and i got too hot.

back in the 1990s when i was in shape, i hiked in july in az in 110 and had a great time

Anyone have any experience getting out of a cancellation fee for ADT (the security system)?

We moved (closed on the old house on Thursday). Had ADT come out and assess the new house. A policy of theirs is that they can't touch any existing smoke detectors. So we'd have to install more than what was existing in the house for them to use with their system.

So, that'd be 13. We'd have to install 13 smoke detectors in the new house.

I told them I'm not doing that and I'm on the hook for two more years of ADT and I don't want to pay for it.

In

I'll even provide ice cream.

Did somehow the ADT contract convey with the property? That would be unusual.

Also, can you just uninstall some of the detectors and not replace them? Not sure how large the house is, but 12 detectors seems like a lot.

Still combing through the contract, but haven't found a cancellation fee yet.

WRT the detectors, they were originally hard wired into the security system; it's just a super old system.

Wifey is on the project now, so we'll see how she does.

Also remember that the 2 year contract auto restarts at month 25. You'll be on the hook for two more years.

That's the beauty of capitalism, eh, corporations fighting one another to provide people with better services for less.

exactly. That's why I doesn't use ADT. I use Jadtec who is month to month with no long term contracts and $10/month monitoring. There are even cheaper internet based monitoring companies if you are willing to go non-local.

Or you could live somewhere safe like Detroit, lol alarm monitoring.

Is there even data to show they help keep you safer?

I have more ear hair in one ear than the other.

I know this isn't the "things that shouldn't piss you off but do" thread, but I feel this is a much safer space.

That is all.

No but there's data to show that my homeowners insurance bill will be 15% lower by having it.

Is there anyone besides me that can't get that baby shark song out of your head?

I'm hearing it everywhere. 3 billion freaking youtube views!

Never heard it. Not gonna click on the link.

Real sharks are deadlier than Charles Manson, not sure we should be sugarcoating the real world for these wretched little urchins we're raising.
