They already went through this period and made it out the other side.
They have been pretty steady around 1B of net income. It's shitty margins, but such is the business.

fairly certain they treat their stores essentially like an amazon warehouse. They were big on customer service and knowledge by employees ( i was an employee in BR back in 2005 :lol:). I'm guessing with the internet people who care do their own research and you just need someone to stand there.
I'm curious what were you doing as sales in the startup? Did yall sell these services? Would you be selling these services or executing on the services for sourcing, logistics, and compliance?

Uhhhh may i ask what are you selling?
I'm guessing insurance.
My only advice for people going on there own is that it is WAY more difficult than you think. If you are basically just going to be a one man shop then its going to be much, much easier.

Great commentary all the way around, one scene I don't think came up was her looking at the cracked door in the upstaris hallway and walking right up to it. Good lord, i was physically uncomfortable. Great work to let that breathe and not go with the jump scare there.
I get coco's complaint, but to me thats every horror genre ever.

The X-lab bikes are pretty nice, and its XDS that has been making all the big name bikes for decades. Can get a carbon frame with 105 component for 2100.
So wife and i watched the historical episode on wednesday and i was like well this is cool but i didn't want to wait to watch another to have the present day plot move forward. Last night we realized we got two episodes. :Doh:
Rhys definitely was making a deal with someone on the toilet...could be a red herring and him praying to God, could be the deal he made while on mushrooms.

Thats fine, but i hate when people shite on "The hobby" when that is not what the hobby is, its some other grotesque part that was created.

The "Hobby" is multi faceted. You should stop ripping and buying to flip or whatever and just collect what you like.

It could help with late bloomer pitchers too, since age is less of an issue for teams drafting pitchers because they already know most are going to blow out or become relievers or both.
yea, but feels like those guys all have 5 years now because they get injured at some point.

Yep. And the people screaming about leverage don't consider that guys that will be looking to stay an extra year in college don't have any leverage regardless because they're infinitely replaceable.
I do think 5 for 5 is going to really beef up JUCO baseball though.
The people that this effects the most are "great college players who aren't so great pro prospects" and this just isn't a whole lot of guys. This will get them another year of NIL and still get a decent draft payday. Jared Jones would probably be the best recent example, but in any typical year, LSU will have MAYBE one of those guys, possibly none.
The episode was hilarious, but I'm not entirely sure what the point was as it didn't move the plot forward very much.
Was it in episode 1 where they did like a camera pan to a locked room several feet underground?
