Just updating this thread to say this is still happening on the iOS app.

This is the process, extremely simplified:

1. It’s 1970. You inherit $10M from your rich dad who worked hard.
2. Buy $10M index fund stock.
3. Borrow $10M against stock.
4. Live tax free off that $10M loan for 30 years (you can do that because you started in 1970 when it was cheap to buy a house).
5. Your stock is now worth $58M (avg 6% per year for 30 years)
6. Your kids inherit the stock at its current value and immediately sell $10M worth to pay off original loan. They pay no capital gains tax because the stock barely moved in the time between when they took ownership and selling it. All of the value growth since original purchase in 1970 is now tax free. The kids now start with $48M.
7. Repeat

Obviously, there is more to it than this. For example, this does not account for interest in the loan, or diversification of investments, or ability to hire accountants to maximize on the process.

Weird. There is a movie that’s been out for more than 4 weeks, has banked over $200M domestic, and this is the first time I’ve ever even heard of it. Maybe my adblocking working better than I thought?

The bigger reason I don’t go to McDonald’s is because of the self serve kiosks they’ve forced on us instead of paying people to run the registers.

Price is still a reason though, so I’m glad they are at least considering that as well.

People…don’t just uninstall the apps when they do this. Go leave a 1-star review in whichever app store you use, and say it’s because of these nagging notifications. 1-star reviews are the weapon with which people can punish poorly behaving devs.

I sometimes wonder how much of the “power efficiency” modern appliance manufacturers trumpet is completely annulled by the fact that they have 30% the useful lifetime of their less efficient ancestors.

The best way forward depends on a lot of unknowns.

• What make and model of guitar?
• What type of finish (poly or lacquer)?
• You mention “blacking it out”, so I’m guessing the color is either black or a burst?
• Where is the chip (front of the body, neck, headstock, neck/body joint, under the pick guard)?
• How big is the chip (size of a pencil eraser, size of a quarter, etc)?
• Is it down to the wood? Or only the clear coat? Is there a clear coat?

Pics would help clarify quite a lot.

I feel seen! If you get “regards” instead of “best regards” you should know you’re on my shit list.
