Yes, 'qualified bidders'. And what are the qualifications to bid to do the cabinets on a 6 million dollar public works/commercial building, which means the building might have $300,000+ of cabinets at most? Basically zero qua

Yes I have, and my family has for their entire life, and I created an entire saas for the construction industry that has enough paying customers to support myself easily.

The entire construction industry is basically based around hiring the lowest bidder, especially in public works, and other than giant projects where somehow corruption allows them to collect more than their bid, these jobs basically get per

It's obvious what's going on. The entire thing has been outsourced to a certain country and this is basically standard for work out of that country.

As a fun reminder of how different people are, the months to me are basically only their numeric value, and if someone starts taking about October I think to myself "October? Oh ya, the 10th month, got it."

If a European travels to grocery store in Nevada, assuming they'd be protected by EU laws is a bit goofy. If they travel to my US server digitally and want my data back, I shouldn't have to know EU laws. They came to me. I guess y

Makes sense. In a similar vein, once fast food places started stating calories per item... It actually helped me maximize calories per dollar and eat more calories, which seems opposite of the original goal of helping people limit their cal

I've been blaming MBAs for ruining large companies for about 15 years. More and more of them were minted, and true to their word, they really have gotten good at extracting every last dollar out of whatever a company sells. Now that sm

Very true. My childhood friend and I were major computer nerds from 1991 to 2002. Then I left for college and he didn't somehow. We had such matched similar personalities for those 10 years. By 2008 when I saw him he had totally fallen

From my experience taking it hundreds of times over 10+ years, from at least 10 different sources.. since almost every source had a distinctive side effect from the others, while entire packets of some sources had zero side effects for me..

Making things illegal and not accepted works decently well. There wasn't a drug vending machine at my school, even though a few rogue students were probably buying and selling drugs at my highschool. Thus I was less likely to do drugs.

Not everyone is as accepting of fraud as you. That is still not the same thing as a deadbeat dad, which is someone that knowingly created a child and then abandoned it.

You can buy 14' fly J sailboats with trailer for $500 once in a while, or all the time for $1000. Obviously it's not some keeled ocean going vessel you keep at the marina. But let's use your version.. a tiny boy scout dingy y

A sailboat costs $500+ on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace. We had one when my mom was cleaning a convalescent home as her job, and commuting 35 miles one way to do it. My dad worked 55+ hours a week, and commuted 60 miles one way to do i

I like how the people that downvote don't even reply. Apparently no matter what a woman does, what she lies about, what kind of fraud she commits, you must line up and be an accepting father due to her criminal acts.

I've been a serial date since 2001. Moved to Android after an iPhone 3S mishap. So at least a decade on android. I have heard at least 10 women JOKE about my android. I'd say atleast 2 gfs in those years eventually made some snide

Taxes you pay pay for this, or your employer pays it instead of paying you. Now you can argue that health care costs less on a per basis, or even per productive taxpayer basis, but that's a different matter. Maybe the US could recreate

Subaru CVTs tend to burn up a solenoid in the valve body. They are available for $30-40 on eBay and take about 3 hours to do for the first time. Dealers charge $3000 for the job. They install all new valve bodies for about $1200, and for so
