You can make money on the stock market when it goes down

You hate standard time

DST moves the sun an hour later in the day

Credit cards = Free Money

1-5% cash back at most stores

So you can either pay in cash (or debit card) and get nothing. Or you can use a credit card and get 1-5% cash back

I need to spend $300 on groceries this month. If i had a credit card that did 5% on grocery purchases (one reason for multiple cards), then I’d have an extra 15 dollars this month. 180 dollars a year just because I used a credit card for a purchase I had to make.

I could have used my debit card, and the funds could be pulled directly from my checking account. Or the funds will be pulled directly from my checking account at the end of the month when I need to pay off my balance.

If I had an emergency $300 dollar expense in the middle of the month, I would have access to $300. If i purchased the groceries with the $300 in my checking account, I’d have no funds to hold over for 2 weeks. Longer if needed, a credit card can hold a balance for a price.

There really isn’t a reason why you shouldn’t use a credit card in America, other than poor spending habits

Credit cards can even give you perks like free cell phone accident protection when paying your wireless bill

Have multiple cards with multiple limits = higher available debt

The higher your available debt, the less percent you use out of it

Debt utilization is a big part of a credit score. And just getting that down having multiple high limit cards is a strategy.

Like if I spend 5k a month. One card with a 10k limit I am using 50% of my available credit. If i had 3 cards with 15k limits, I’d be using ~10%. Using 10%>50%

Opening up cards hurts your credit score in the short term but helps in the long run. You shouldn’t close a card unless you have to because having it is going to help your score for reasons mentioned above.

You can not simply “shift” billions of dollars from one currency to another.

As much as the rich people with billions want to get rid of the USD, the people willing to give GBP or Euro for USD don’t have to accept. Why would they want to be holding on to the USD if the others don’t?

They could be slowly doing it right now, but if the shit hits the fan, the exchange rate would jump.

Yep small caliber proof for sure

My favorite part of decimeters is 1 inch is 1/4 decimeters. 3 decimeters is foot.

So if it’s like 8 inches. I can just say 2 decimeters

From there you can say 20 centimeters or .2 meters

If something is 12ft it’s 36 decimeters or 3.6 meters

There’s no easy way to turn 8 inches into centimeters other than knowing that 1 inch is about 2.5 centimeters or just estimating in centimeters to begin with.

You could say 8 inches is 2/3 of a foot. 3ft to a meter. So 1 ft is .30 meters. Then it’s 2/3 of a foot, so .30×2/3=.2.

Decimeters are the missing link for Americans to convert

Yards to meters is 1

Feet to meters is 3

Inches to decimeters is 4

Things like a 36 inch doorway, 3 feet, would be 9 decimeters or .9 meters

Common measurements of inches:

12 - 4 Decimeters

18 - 4.5 Decimeters

24 - 8 Decimeters

30 - 9.5 Decimeters

What they would use otherwise would be

.4 meters

.45 meters

.8 meters

.95 meters

Saying the standard doorway is 9 Decimeters is way better than saying .9 meters.

If you rounded to 1 meter. You’re adding 3 1/3 inches. Which is a 10% increase.

A decimeter tape measure would be nice.

Walmart spent millions on rfid trying to do this. Howevera cart full of razor blades would always not read something so they gave up.

My point was Walmart, Sam’s parent company, spent millions and carried it out in their other store. I don’t know if it’s rfid, but I’m sure their research in it overlapped with the way they implemented it in Sam’s.

Yeah, I watched one from official Tesla youtube where the guy shot it with a bunch of stuff.

It did stop the 9mm with the rounds they chose

The buck shot pierced the door and cracked the window because it was rolled down.

Buck shot is smaller caliber with higher velocity.

I need to find a video of someone trying to get a 9mm bullet to go through it rather than basically a paid advertisement.

Resistant

There is no guarantee to stop even a small caliber

Small caliber at high velocity would go straight through

You could say a thick metal wall is small caliber bullet proof because no matter what velocity, the small chunk of metal is never passing through a few decimeters of solid metal.

Small caliber piercing round at high velocity, straight through the stainless steel door.

Slap some plastic on that bad boy

You’d really trust that as a bullet shield?

Normal 9mm across the street. Probably going through

My Sam’s Club has two big arch camera things that scan your items as you walk past. Person at door that normally scans ~3 items and receipt, just waves and says “You’re good to go!”. Been like this for months.

Scan and go is amazing.

The arch is kind of cool but they just had to scan ~3 things manually before so it’s not that game changing. But nice.

Sam’s Club, owned by Walmart, does this basically.

You scan items with your phone, check out, then walk under this arch camera things to leave, I haven’t been stopped to be manually checked in ages.

One day people will realize that you can make money when the stock market goes down

Causing it to go down is much easier than making it go up

Smart people looking to make money on a declining market told him some “smart” stuff to do. He believes it is smart. It is smart for the people that profit. Just hurts so many.

He believes he is special, like some kind of perfect business man where the “deals” always get done and work out in the end for him.

He has been used his whole life like a rich monkey to make others money thinking he was the brains behind the whole operation
