How do you open a bookstore for under $10,000?

Well, first you find a location with $600 a month rent. LOL.

Floor was $350 and $500 to install it. Bookshelves were $1,100. UV window tint to protect the product was $500.

From there it’s a matter of setting up accounts with major wholesalers and ordering product.

Most folks don’t realize this, but in general, the markup on books is around 35% to 55% depending on the publisher and the service.

I bought a bunch of nice Halloween stock for $6.50 a book, retail is $28.95, which is ridiculous. I’m selling them for $12.95 and still making money on them.

The little free library I did for under $500. 😉

Nope, I opened a full bookstore for less than $10,000. The other $40+ is operating funds. I can keep this going for some time!

I had that happen in January, I built my own bookstore.

Why are AI companies buying consumer grade RAM?

Fleas.

Just learning how vinyl cutters work. Cricut is the big one, but I picked up a Silhouette Cameo 5 Alpha Plus.

I mean, if you’re operating purely by population, next in line is Houston.

If you’re operating on power and influence, Washington D.C. is #1.

“Minutes remaining”.

Here’s the problem:

The vast majority of people have never seen the works of the old masters in person, only copies on their devices or pictures in print.

When you see a painting like that in person, the texture and brush strokes interact with the light in the room to give you a completely luminous experience.

But more to the point, that experience cannot be reproduced digitally. Even a photograph of the actual Mona Lisa is inferior to actually seeing the Mona Lisa.

I encourage everyone, where possible, to get to your local museums and see what you can see. It’s a wonderful experience!

And already proven wrong, 4 years ago. This isn’t a revelation.

It doesn’t mean anything when the claim was already thoroughly debunked 4 years ago…

I AM THE NIGHT!

The last few bubbles completely wiped out people who had 401k accounts. They were absolutely devastated, but if they stayed in, it rebuilt with interest… just in time to be wiped out when the next bubble pops.

It will happen again. Folks that have money in the stock market right now will be jumping off buildings in the next few years.

Exactly the problem!

Not quite, Windows detects the monitor being attached and goes “Oh? What software goes with this?” and downloads the package provided by LG.

The monitor doesn’t say “Hey, I want you to download this”, Windows does that on it’s own.

The only people who can avoid being cancelled are the ones with no fame. If you have become famous, it can always be taken away.

Look at Mother Teresa, arguably one of the most famous people during her life.

After she died? It came out that she was in fact a horrible human being, and now she’s largely forgotten.

There is no level of fame that insulates you, only a lack of fame.

So, a couple of things…

For a real time warning system, there’s no need to actually record anything. Monitoring the video feed with no record capability should be fine.

Second, this sounds super easy to defeat with a printed photo card and a couple of Googley Eyes. 👀

Gad civilization… in the far flung future of 2019! 😉

Deckard missed Covid!
