I was talking with a client and he was checking the approval for his suppressor (only like almost a year). Don’t try anything at that guy’s bank.

The BWM was us talking about how much we wanted to buy wood furniture for ARs and just fudd them to hell and back.

I haven’t worked on any of those projects, but shop condos are a good place to store your toys and work on them, plus then the old ball and chain doesn’t know when you buy another project car.

I still have a library book out from 3rd grade when my parents moved. I drove my old schoold this weekend, I should probably go return that book soon as I live a couple miles away.

My favorite story was one from my hometown where a guy had a book in his closet then went to fight in WW2. It was like 47 years later when he found it in his mom's house. I forget the ridiculous sum they calculated the fees to be (over $30k?) but obviously they won't charge you more than the book cost.

We just had a news story about a 49 year old late fee, but they didn’t have a fine schedule from then.

Whatevery you do, don’t try to bring your spent brass into Singapore. And if you do, and manage to talk it down to a warning, make double sure you search every pocket in your luggage for more brass so the next time you go through Chang-i, you don’t pop the same warning and end up in a windowless room for 24 hours.

Talking from a friend’s experience...

Yeah my last job split it between Personal Days, Sick Days, and Vacation Days so that they could offer a competitive amount of PTO but only need to pay out the barest of minimums. Clever fucks.

Is anyone here paid on commission but also gets any type of PTO? We can take a 1,2,3,4 week vacation literally any time we want, but we get paid $0 while we're out.

We call it the unlimited time off plan here, but same deal as you guys.

Doing a trade in lets you reduce the taxable sales price on your new vehicle by the value of the trade in, so that is also something to consider.

Over half of Iowa’s cropland is owned by a non-operator. A good chunk of that is retired farmers leasing the land for cash rents, but there are also doctors and lawyers that buy land to lease out. The farmer gets more acreage to scale without the land side of the capital equation, with land typically earning a return of 2-3%, so it’s not something you buy for massive income, more of a passive income/price speculation deal so a farmer is going to focus on higher return activities before buying land if there is equal available for lease.

Nebraska land is at least less screwed relative to Kansas as the aquifer is less tapped out there and recharges somewhat better.

Edit: Survey for those interested, only 20% is owner operated acreage in Iowa.

somebody explain to me the non-obvious reason why you would buy an expensive illiquid indivisible capital asset with a lot of transaction costs in order to yield the same amount of money as a savings account or CD, being on the wrong side of the agribusiness monopsony seems like a lovely situation to voluntarily get yourself into

Buying it hoping the value goes up up up!

Land went from $5k and acre in 2010 to a peak above $8k and acre before coming back down. Sometime you buy at the right time, sometimes you don’t.

Most of it has been in the family for 120-150 years. It's not that people are buying it as investments. It's that they're just holding onto it and not selling.

This too. I keep pointing to the Iowa surveys because they have good data, but 46% of the non-operating landlords there received the land via gift or inheritance.

Edit: had to make sure I quoted a number on an acreage basis.

I'd bet the other half is banks who got the properties through foreclosure. No data to support that, just looking my community.

I wouldn’t. The international and military markets work very differently than the US civilian market. Weapons will always be somewhat risky investments due to legislative vulnerability that can make them worthless overnight (see New Zealand and Connecticut) and to a lesser extent social stigma.
