I worked for 20 years as a marine canvas and upholstery guy. I've since quit and started running my own show. If I was trying to learn the trade and learn businessing at the same time I'd have totally failed. The business part isn't really hard, but it's meticulous and a bit unforgiving. I find you only find out what you're doing wrong after you've done it for a year. Getting the taxes wrong will absolutely fuck you up, six ways from Sunday. The best advice I got was from my brother (who fucked up his taxes) was to save 30% of everything you make in preparation for a tax remittance. I've found that to be higher than necessary, but that just means I saved money.

I couldn't find an accountant would take me on for the first few years so I had to bumble along myself. I started out using quickbooks and honestly, most of my problems were from using it wrong. I should have taken classes and read books and stuff but I was a bit overburdened and stressed out from trying to manage it all.

I've settled on 20% as a good number. Even that may be high, but I like the forced savings.

My dad's rule of thumb was, except to pay 10% of the purchase price every year on general maintenance. Not gas or slip fees, just maintenance. If one year you only spend 5% don't frett, next year you'll spend 15%.

With regards to range, 1/3 of a tank for the trip out, 1/3 for the trip home and 1/3 as a safety margin.

I'll introduce the concept of 'Boat Bucks ': Boats are expensive and spending $1000 is really just getting started so it eases the pain a bit to convert to Boat Bucks. 1BB = $100 and then you say "wow, gas is pretty cheap today! Only cost 3 Boat Bucks to fill up!"

In an interview, she was asked how long it takes to do her hair and she said "Oh I don't know, I'm not there!" 🤣

I guess it was a q&a, not an interview

And remember, polyester is made from oil which makes rainbows when you pour it in water therfore: polyester is made of rainbows! And does no harm to anything ever. The end.

You'll be tired of getting trickled on so hard. There'll be so much trickling going on.

Registering as an "Independent" party member doesn't mean you have no party affiliation; most states have an Independent party who has a platform that you may or may not agree with!

It’s a common misconception, but if you registered "Independent Party" you aren’t “independent” you are a member of your state’s Independent party, who has a platform and agenda you may or may not agree with. What you actually want is called an "unaffiliated" voter status. The good news is, all you have to do...

In Canada you have to buy a membership to the party. That let's you vote in the leadership elections. Mosty it means you and your next 7 generations get spam soliciting donations.

The thing I don't get is who wakes up in the morning and goes to work for those assholes? I hate to say it, but I think they might be assholes too. I'm starting to worry it might be assholes all the way down.

I used to phone the internet. Sometimes it would be busy and I'd have to call back later.

Radial (cut off your) arm saws are one of the few tools in the shop that give me the heebie jeebies. Yes, they can be operated safely but, yikes.

The direction the blade spins means it can jump towards you if it binds. Like any tool, it's safe when you use it right, but a moment of inattention could be messy. Mainly I find the ripping set up terrifying.

I've given up. Every other post is an ad. Spoils the mood.

How so? You need to use the ap to see porn and the ap is mostly an ad server.

I'm afraid to ask, but will anyway, what does CNC mean in this context?

Sorry, read the article. Rape-y games I guess.

It probably was aged rib eye, just served as chopped steak. Probably some super high end wagu shit. And ketchup on the side.

No, you're right, it was probably canned steak. I was thinking opulence, forgetting we're dealing with Trump.

If I were a billionaire I would bribe him to do something good. He wanted a billion dollars to get rid of environmental protections, would he take a billion to ban oil and gas?

Peppycito ,
@Peppycito@sh.itjust.works avatar

And a billion dollars only gets you a pinky swear.

Peppycito ,
@Peppycito@sh.itjust.works avatar

That's a funny misunderstanding and probably changes the context a lot, but no, "four letter word" means a swear word.

Wikipedia has my back.

They stopped making them in the 70's but they made an obscene amount of them and had to keep using the stockpile for the next 20 years.

That's a good idea. I've blocked so much almost all I get is depressing news. They need to let you export blocked lists. Mines so long it's probably worth something.

Vile amounts of human sewage detected at popular rowing site on the Thames. British Rowing and River Action warn river users to take extreme caution - River Action UK ( riveractionuk.com )

British Rowing and River Action warn that vile amounts of human sewage has been discharged by Thames Water along the Putney Embankment, home to over ten rowing clubs on the River Thames....

Vile amounts are when you see actual floaters. Non vile is when you can only smell them.

This is totally dumb. I wouldn't want one attached to my building. How heavy are they? I'm guessing it doesn't snow there? How do you weed it when it invariably gets infested with weeds. The irrigation system is sure to break, how do you service that? This will look like absolute shit in a year.

I make canvas and awnings. Shade sails are almost always really stupid. Big bucks for very little bang. Most of the day you end up with a wee thong shadow halfway up the wall

I feel like I could, but I'm not an asshole and normally don't shout obscenities to people doing their job. Maybe it's a Canadian thing?

They were born ordinary and became exceptional through hard work and dedication. And bootstraps.
