I wonder where they're going to move it. As far as I know that stop does pretty well.

^That's Cincinnati. You don't have buffer zones of meh, warehouses or parking lots between wealthy and impoverished areas like you see in say Columbus.

Yeah the deal was supposed to be close to 100% electric and will end up being 10% as it stands.

Yeah if it polls well among residents then it's fine. But the term probably does do poorly in more Trumpy areas, haha

^Yea, pull up dat asphalt!

NSU and Zundapp will blow your mind in the champagne room though

You know, I've had my business accounts with PNC for 7 years now but never knew that since I don't withdraw cash from my business account at ATMs.

Not necessarily true, most forums are mostly one gender or the other. All other forums I go to are male-dominated. The only ones I've ever used that weren't were CU and the now-defunct Kunstler forum (this was before he jumped the shark).

I used an ATM at the University of Toledo once that would dole out $1s if your amount requested ended in something other than a 0 or 5.

Zoning. They want SFH to stay SFH and for all MFH to go through the proper channels before being built. The jurisdiction could be the city, the county, the neighborhood, the township, the "overlay" and I'm sure there's more.

Way too many SFH-dominated neighborhoods in this town.

Nope, I was thinking of the wrong building. It is the Neil House in the picture. What I was thinking of was further northeast two blocks come to think of it.

Thing is, you're basically not allowed to do that anymore in many jurisdictions.

Those passengers are like "Nyah, see, there'd be a lot more room on the train if we didn't have to wear these big hats any time we are in public, see?"

When did that "New House" building on the left come down? I'm thinking early 2000s. Kind of a shame. I'd like to know more about it.

Fun fact: if you play Tone Loc's "Funky Cold Medina" backwards he talks about feeding Wario.

That would be pretty cool, but it looks "wealthier" for the company to be consumer-facing rather than mostly B2B like Kokosing. That's evident in NASCAR where the sponsors used to be mostly B2C but now it's a lot of B2B since NASCAR's popularity decline after the mid-2000s.

Oh and by far the best place to buy sneakers in Columbus is Eastland Mall.

The problem with smartphones and used items is phones will tell you that a particular item is way, way more expensive than it actually is. They leave out an enormous amount of detail that is obvious when using a computer to value the item. The world is full of people overpaying by 3-5X as much for things since they use their phone to buy it. This isn't as true with new items since they have an MSRP. People who know what they're doing regarding video games or cards use special pricing websites like pricecharting.com or tcgplayer.com. A lot of people in these wealthy locales know roughly what the games are worth -- they just don't care since they have a lot of money. Same thing you see with game stores in Seattle and San Francisco. RE: Thrift stores. When I hear people ask where the stuff comes from the workers always say "our warehouse". It has to be true in some sense because some locations take in way more than they could put in the store. Like when CDM and I were cleaning out his storage unit in Dublin and taking stuff to the Goodwill on Sawmill. We went inside to have a look around and the store was like 6000 sq. ft. I think people dropped off more than 6000 sq. ft. worth of stuff in the time we were there! But woof are the small town thrift stores stinkers as compared to the big city ones. Unless it's some curated hippy one.

Well a lot of those tweets and users get deleted over time so it makes the forum look weird when you go back and look at old posts for context. That's like if you look at threads on any forum that are from the 2000s it looks like an archeological dig.

and and and 😉

Yeah it's unbelievable how differently sames stores within the same metros can act. When I lived in Cincinnati (late 2000s) most of the really expensive games and systems we took in headed straight to our Tri-County Mall location. It would sell much more quickly there than at our others (Eastgate and Florence) and we could price it at 30-50% over market rate and it didn't matter. The customers just spent. For a Columbus example, a friend of mine with similar stores started off the 2010s with four stores -- Clintonville, Hilliard, Sawmill and Powell. Powell put up big numbers and some guy who just had to own a video game store for a living threw a bunch of money at my friend to sell it to the guy. Fine. What the guy didn't think about (and I'm sure my friend told him) is that nobody would sell that store anything because the area was way too wealthy (I experienced this problem myself later with my store at Dayton Mall). They could charge 2-3X market rate for games and get away with it since the customers there had no price sensitivity. Without the other stores like Hilliard (which is the kind of quasi-depressing suburb where every house is bursting with video games) to feed them stock the guy probably had to resort to paying close to retail for all his games on the internet. You'd think you could just buy big lots of games on eBay to save money but that's not how it works since there are tons of basement resellers on the internet that don't care if they only make $1 a piece on the games pushing up the price of lots. Plus nearly every video game system on the internet is broken somehow since people can't even take care of a video game system properly. Anyway, the Powell store is still there as far as I know and seems to have turned more into one of those "Gamesmaster" stores where the owner is like a game host that entertains the customers in the store all day and has a lot of events. Of course that business model got totally wrecked by the virus. I'm not the guy to do that since I don't care about the product enough and already get far too much attention from other males already.

Re: his eating habits. I find it interesting that such a large portion of the population doesn't know/doesn't care A) what a reasonable amount of food is to consume and B) what is a reasonable amount of money to spend on food on a daily basis.

Oh I get it now. Not smooth but good at job interviews.

Sounds like he's Smooth.
