Howdy folks!

So we're going through and looking to reboot older, still fairly active threads. Would you all be ok with rebooting this one since the OP is about three years old? If so, can someone kindly make a new OP and get that started?

Thank you!

Also, to be clear, this is not an edict from on high. If it works for now it works for now, but eventually the DB is basically going to require a reboot so probably better to get it out of the way now rather than later.

Surely there would have been a more stable option than crypto for you to put half a million dollars your small business requires to function. File this one under “Fool and His Money”

Yeah, this is just standard rich person business (borrow at 4% to invest at a 6% return), but crypto seems like a really bad way to do it at more than, like, day trader timelines. Especially any time in the last... 6 months.

Oh lord, this reminds me of my Corgi. Dude loves to play fetch, but with a catch, he'll just sit next to the ball or whatever it is until you tell him to bring it back. Sometimes, though, and you could always see it in his eyes..he'll decide that "bring it back" meant "lower your head, turn into a dog-shaped bullet, and run at you at full speed giving you just enough time to say "OH FU-"" before he crashes into you. And then would go back to get the ball.

Small business owners literally believe they are Christ reborn, risen to usher in a new age of God-like *checks notes* carpet cleaning and hookah setup.

Really of course they are worse than vermin, scum of the earth cursed by man and beast. Bringers of plague and pestilence such that all who know their name fear and despise them

When I was a security consultant, I would get a lot of small business owners asking for advice. And the most common topic they wanted advice on was recording employees, because they were afraid their employees were poo poo talking them. The number of angry responses I got when I told them that covertly recording employee conversations without their knowledge or consent was illegal in every state. Watching grown adults have a melt down that their employees have some rights left was irritating. Dude, you're in management. Yes your employees poo poo talk you. Hell my boss is a good boss. He did the job, knows what we need, and does his best to cover us from corporate bullshit. But do we talk poo poo about him? Yes. Obviously. It's part of the job. Grow up.
