  1. I was thinking that as well. Think about how much more money the Chik-Fil-A could make!
  2. Chosen identities and active spending patterns do not deserve equal status as situations caused by circumstance.
  3. Luckily enough, sometimes they get chances to run a "business" their way! And lose their asses because they think they're smarter than everyone else.
  4. I wonder how many of these guys calling themselves "entrepreneurs" call themselves that because some pick up artist told them to. Like they get a 1099 or two and -- boom -- instant "entrepreneur".
  5. They're suckers for the advertising of the specific products (hence the overspending) which means they are suckers for rhetoric aimed directly at them.
  6. So if it holds bikes that means the roof isn't leaking. Which means the interior may not be finished but a new tenant would probably want it done at least somewhat differently than planned.
  7. No. Looks like the Ricarts wanted it to be close to ASK and MotoOhio plus have more freeway visibility. Bike dealers tend to cluster like how all the ones in Lancaster are close to each other on 33. I remember there was an Easyriders catty corner from the Franklinton A.D. Farrow for quite a while in the '90s and 2000s when those big bikes were hot.

    So people used it less therefore it lost less. Unless the food delivery is much more profitable than carrying people. Which is also a bad scenario since people are worth more than food.
  9. The Ohio counties don't have nearly the product as the deeper parts of Appalachia. The fracking people got everyone's hopes up too far from the core areas where the cheap, easy-to-get stuff is.
  10. Better than what happened to Robert Kraft's Super Bowl ring during his Russia trip.

    Oh man, haven't gotten a chance to goof on Mandel in a while.

    "Columbus: Show me where to get on the train"
  13. Ha, that's like when I lived in 5XNW and one resident had a Harley. I was like "Is someone's dad visiting?" when it fired up since all the other bikes around were 250s or 350s. Including mine.
  14. Just locked out of Current Events. I've seen other users have section-specific lockouts too, I think.
  15. It said under his avatar "No Current Events" during the ban. I don't think those labels show up on mobile though.
  16. I think part of the big deal with Chick-fil-A is that there aren't enough of them in a lot of towns so they're always slammed. If there were as many of them in Columbus as there are Wendy's they'd be about as much of a ghost town as the average Columbus Wendy's. You go to Dayton which already has had enough Chick-fil-A locations for a while and they are no big deal.

    They do have other years; they're just not as prolific in the other years. I just picked up some cicada skins off a tree last spring or the one before.
  18. For some reason they believe residential draws more car traffic than auto-oriented commercial.
  19. I don't see why it's not going to be mostly gas stations. They already barely make money on gas to get people to come into the convience store.
  20. If a previous homeowner was into welding the garage will have it.
  21. If they already have 220V, current houses don't need much except access to 220V somewhere near the car. You probably want a dedicated circuit so that it doesn't act up when the dryer or A/C kick on. But in the future to get full charge speed there may need to be more. I can't see everyone getting 480V at there house and running a transformer for the rest. My house doesn't have 220 even at the service panel.
  22. I'm thinking EV range has to be 50% higher than ICE range since all those ups and downs in range due to driving conditions leads to too much anxiety and to let people who don't have a garage to charge off site. Your ICE car never starts just using a bunch of gas out of nowhere unless fuel is spewing out of a line or fitting. Yeah if you're climbing a mountain or keeping the pedal to the metal you expect to use more fuel, but EVs all of a sudden tell you you're down to 15% out of nowhere if you climb a hill in the cold rain with the defrost on. I don't think it will be that difficult but it will take time unless the vehicle weight hits a deadly 5986 pounds.
  23. They probably don't want to be on the other side of the street since they are on the "morning side" of the street right now.

    All those Harley guys that lost their minds when they had to pack granola bars on their rides since the bars were closed will turn up to vote against her.
