    It is a transformative revolution, and much bigger than transportation. Revolutions are always disruptive. The Agricultural, Industrial, Technological, and Information revolutions were all very disruptive and made many jobs obsolete. But they absolutely provided major increases on overall...

    Should I buy this Business?

    INVESTING QUESTION 
    Sellers always try to add them together, but it's really an either/or. Pour over the financials and make sure they make sense. 1x seems about right, depending on how much work you'll need to put in. Make sure it'll be worth your time and you aren't buying a low-paying job.

    HOT! CHAT 
    Just like most truly beautiful women don't try to look hot. It brings too much unwanted attention when you're already getting more than you want.

    Kids today view $1 like I view a nickle. Guess I'm an old fart at not even 50.

    Seems like the solution is to not radicalize and program the average idiot citizen. "Regulating the tools, not the people" policies has lead to the UK putting in extreme knife controls to the point where it's hard to buy a basic kitchen knife. And they still had 50,000 stabbings last year. AI...

    Most of this simply comes down to the science. Bioelectric impedance analysis correlates with body fat percentage but has poor predictive value. It simply isn't a precise method of measurement. The best ones take reading through both the feet and the hands. Using just feet or just hands...

    Facts. It's a well-proven, basic economic principle that if something costs more/pays less people will consume/do it less, and if its cheaper/pays more people will consume more/do it more. It's silly that this is controversial. People like to say alcohol prohibition "didn't work," but if you...

    This. Laws and regulations have created many imbalanced systems. Government is simply too slow to respond to new information, and laws tend to drastically shut down information gathering. We have MANY "lifestyle" ills in our society. Bad food is just one of them.

    @MJ DeMarco please remove if this is too political. I know it's pushing it but I want to highlight how much impact just a few smart, motivated people can have when they "follow the money." SO MUCH business success comes down to effectively "following the money," as you point out in TMFL. People...

    "95% of all new businesses fail!" Why it is utter BS.

    ASSERTION 
    Good point. Should also add that in most cases these stats define "fail" as "close down." Many businesses open, make good money, and then shut down.

    "Thus the heaven and the earth were finished, and all their array. By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He abstained on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it because on it He abstained from all His work...

    EXECUTION 
    Absolutely possible, but questionable practicality. The adhesive needs to resist the chemical insults that tires are exposed to over the years, and as this is primarily a consumer product I don't want to recommend using very harsh chemicals. There are some products that could work, but suspect...

    Yes that's the balancing act in selecting the right adhesive. It needs to be strong enough to work, but not so strong that you can't remove it without damaging the wheel or tire.

    Been busting a$$ and making progress! And I'm having a blast doing it! I sent the load cell for the test press off to be calibrated and finally got it back, so I could work on getting my testing setup. I'm used to managing QA labs where a basic press costs $80k. That isn't an option here. I...
