re: Forbes Billionaire List 2024
Posted by tes fou on 4/5/24 at 10:57 am
It’s very easy for a researcher to value a couple hundred fast food stores based on industry metrics especially when the business has used some institutional money and released some info publicly. Much harder with shipyards, supply boats, ports, etc. damn near impossible when it’s holes in the grou...

[quote]Some stats from FY 2022: Income tax collections 4.55) Billion 29.2% Sales tax collections 4.970 Billikn 31.8% It’s about the same.

re: Tohatsu Outboard
Posted by tes fou on 3/14/24 at 8:58 am
Historically they have made many of the smaller outboards or multiple manufacturers. The only significant downside with them, as well as Honda has typically been a lack of local dealers for parts and service depending on your location that may or may not be an issue at all....

re: Is your car spying on you & sharing data with insurance companies to drive your rates up?

I have owned 9 vehicles in the past 3 years, I found one that I sold 9 months ago still tracking “my driving” because it was tied to my onstar acct when I bought it.

Yeah they bury consent in bullshite and never disclose what it really is even in their terms online.
One vehicle I never registered or insured in my name. It was in an LLC I own, I never personally drove it but it was tied to my onstar profile because all my info was already on file when I boug...
re: The Official Unifi Talk thread/Let’s talk VOIP and self-hosting
Posted by tes fou on 3/13/24 at 9:31 pm
We are retail (dealership) so we only need a few lines 3/4 and would max out at 10-12 extensions.
The ability to use the RingCentral app can be nice but it has some quirks that can be frustrating and the monthly cost for our use case is way higher than UniFi. We have UniFi network gear with a ...

Found this enabled automatically on Cadillac Escalade, definitely did not get any notification or consent. Strangely enough after years of declining rates ours have doubled since buying that car 2 years ago. No claims tickets or accidents etc.
Also found it was enabled and connected to my ons...

Glad to see someone else trying this and having reasonable results. We've been using Ringcentral via their cell phone app, got our building finished and held off on buying handsets while we looked at different options.
Now I'm ready to ditch them, we have a bunch of unifi network gear in our bu...

re: Why do dealers make car buying so difficult
Posted by tes fou on 2/17/24 at 9:53 pm
Real question is what are you trying to buy?
Low level sales people are generally trained to only get appointments in the door don’t talk price etc. you need a contact with the right dealer who can make it easy. I bought 9 cars in the past 3 years, all with very little hassle. ...
re: Banks’ Retail Footprints Getting Smaller
Posted by tes fou on 2/12/24 at 2:47 pm
If you are in a business that accepts cash having a retail branch nearby for deposits is pretty important. Most banks are consolidating in areas where they have multiple branches. I’d assume on that end of town those branches weren’t getting the traffic levels of the branches over near downtown.

I have a Inmarsat phone and you’re looking about $800/yr. The deal when I got mine was that you were going to pay approx $1500 total for phone/initial minutes. I paid a few extra bucks to be able to roll minutes over and it costs around $800/yr to buy a couple hundred more and roll the rest over. ...
