Is it worth buying an established business?

Let’s say you’re an HVAC person and there’s an established HVAC business for sale that does 2-3M in revenue yearly.

When would you consider buying the business vs working as an employee for someone else? (Doesn’t have to be HVAC - that’s just an example. Assume basically any trade).

Want to gather your thoughts.

“IGBBMN” - Bam’s last words to Tyler

u/carnageta — 14 days ago
▲ 660 r/heat+1 crossposts

I'm in Vegas currently, at the same hotel that Herro was in (coincidentally) and I saw the altercation

I'm in Vegas, attending a CBA course that I paid for and the hotel that I'm staying in is coincidentally the same one in which this altercation occurred in.

It was in the hotel gym. Doors were closed and there was security at the front preventing anyone from coming / entering. Other people were there too getting a workout in. Doors were closed, so you couldn't hear anything, but the side-wall of the gym is entirely glass so you can see everything.

The altercation wasn't actually bad as the tweet by Shams suggests. Bam shoved Herro with one arm after the conversation got heated and then the two were broken up and separated. The push was pretty aggressive - Herro went back several feet but was never knocked off his legs. There was no punch thrown. I could see at the start of the interaction that Tyler was surprised to see Bam there and he tried to dab him up as Bam approached him, and Bam didn't do it. Further words were exchanged than and it started getting heated. People eventually came to separate them, which is when Bam one-armed shoved Tyler.

Immature / Unsupportive friends - best off just dropping them for good?

I 30(M) have a close friend (27M) that is very immature / unsupportive.

For some context, he lives at home with his parents and loves to party / drink every weekend. He is also a very big mama's boy, such that his mom will basically do every single thing for him - I'm talking about cooking, cleaning, organizing, etc. etc.

Now before I continue, I want to be clear - I don't have an issue with people living at home - it's an expensive world and if you can leverage an opportunity to get ahead and save then you should definitely capitalize on it. However, just because you live at home and don't have many bills to pay, and just because you have your mom do everything for you - doesn't mean all of your friends are in the same situation. In comparison, I moved out about 4.5 years ago and ended up buying a house ~2.5 years ago, and have been living with my partner ever since.

7 months ago I got a 2 month old puppy, and my friend has been nothing but unsupportive of it because it 'ruins his plans to hangout'. We have a group chat (and my partner is in it) and when we first got the puppy, one of the very first things my friend commented was 'throw the puppy out'. This past weekend we were all hanging out in a group setting at a restaurant, and my friend said something along the lines of "You shouldn't have gotten a puppy. I can't deal with people that tie themselves down. I'm a free bird". This was because at a party last week at his house, I left at 2am in the morning, instead of staying the entire night. Yes, you read that correctly - 2am.

Now, our group hangouts typically involve roast sessions where we all poke fun at each other - and that's fine and I have no problem with it. I poke fun at him as well quite a bit. However, this puppy thing just brings it to a personal level, especially since he has said this many times over the past 7 months (in different ways). Not to mention, not even once has my friend asked to see my puppy - not even a picture. So I have a gut feeling he's actually at least a bit bummed out by this puppy thing and it isn't just a joke being tossed around during a roast session.

I just can't be close with immature people anymore. My friend is 27, acting like a 17 year old. 10 years ago it was cool. 5 years ago it was tolerable. But now, I'm over it. Like people have their own lives dude and have sh*t to do, sorry can't stay the entire night at the party.

It's a similar situation with drinking - he wants to just shove alcohol down your throat because he drinks. People can have a good time without drinking, my guy.

I don't know if I'm overreacting or not lol. Any thoughts?

9 month old samoyed started being destructive at night - started crating her

My 9 month old Sammy started becoming destructive at night while we sleep. We woke up to chewing on the corners of the house, as well as the kitchen counters.

This slowly progressed over time, at first it was just a little bit but now it’s become a lot. We give her tons of exercise throughout the day and make sure she has chew toys, as well as bones to chew.

Due to this destruction, we’ve started crating her at night time now. However, she always starts barking at around 3 or 4am and if we don’t let her out she ends up pooping in the crate and stepping all over it. If we do let her out at 3 or 4, she doesn’t go potty and then we just put her back in the crate but she’ll start barking again about 30 mins later. She would never actually be a night pooper prior to the crate.

Any tips / recommendations on how to progress from here? I’d like to get to the point in which I can just crate her for 7 hours continuously in the night without any potty messes.

Thanks

How close am I to a muscle-up?

Also, is this a ‘high pull’? Appreciate ya’ll.

My bar is wobbly which I know probably doesn’t help the momentum

BoC? 5’11”, 160lbs

Finished a 9 month cut, dropped from 190 -> 160. Eating at maintenance now.

Best way to proceed from here?

I’m sick and tired of the media always undervaluing our assets

Put Kel’el Ware on the Warriors, Spurs, Lakers, Celtics, Knicks, etc, and he’d be considered a top 5 young asset in the NBA.

Put Jaime on one of those teams and he’d be shopped for future FRPs.

Tyler Herro would be considered as a cheaper and younger Jamal Murray / De’Aaron Fox.

If one of these teams were offering the same package as ours in exchange for Giannis, the large consensus around the league would be that it’s a massive overpay.

Is eating 1.25x body weight protein per day bad, if it’s all consumed from natural sources?

I weight 160lbs and I eat 200g of protein daily. I didn’t realize it was this high but it is. I don’t take any protein powder or supplements, all of my consumption is through natural means (eggs, turkey bacon, milk, greek yogurt, chicken, beef, lentils, etc). I don’t necessarily eat like this because I’m trying to put on muscle; I genuinely enjoy the foods and diet that I have. It’s a bit lower on carbs, but I feel the healthiest this way.

I know it’s recommend to eat between 0.5-1.0x your BW of protein intake per day or whatever, with any excess amount being ‘useless’ to help put on muscle (or maintain muscle). I’m fine with it being ‘useless’, but longterm can it cause health issues? I know this is a weight lifting sub and not a ‘health’ sub, but I’m curious on other lifters thoughts on the matter.

Is this body achievable?

https://preview.redd.it/dhzptwjp7v6h1.png?width=813&format=png&auto=webp&s=f7257fcc5c8728b28ad00583decffe3e46e1c4da

Asked AI to add 10 lbs of lean muscle to my current frame (left). It created the image on the right. Is this level of shoulder, chest, arms, and mid-section definition achievable for my frame / body?

Currently 5'11" 160lbs. Eating around 2500 calories a day, training 4x a week. Been on a cut for 8-9 months, have dropped 30lbs in that time frame. All of my lifts have gone up slowly. Planning to add an extra 200cals to my intake every day now to (hopefully) start building leaning muscle. Protein intake is approximately around 170-200g daily.

Thoughts?

Starting to hate J1, when to quit vs wait to be fired?

Hate my one coworker who’s a staff engineer. They basically get to call all the shots and get credit for everything. Doesn’t share credit. On top of this, they want me to go 110% so I can get promoted in the next cycle. I’m just sick of it though and don’t want to do a damn thing lol.

Thoughts on how I should navigate from here? Been at company for 3 years, and been OE for 3.5 years.
