Probably because it is, they don’t like you, or they don’t want the job.

I’m not trying to be mean, but contractors will price it outrageously or say “this will be a big job” because they don’t want the job, so you say no.

Ehhh some of this is great advice about sales tactics, but you should definitely get a contractor to come out and look over the place again.

Reason being is if there is something that was missed in your initial inspection that another contractor found, you can go back to the realtor and demand them to be fixed. Especially for new builds.

However you only have a small window for this, because if you wait too long the realtor and or contractors can say it was you and it’s not their responsibility.

Also you should always get multiple bids from several contractors. If someone is going to do the job at a really low price, that means that contractor will cut corners, and do more harm than good. If someone is giving you an astronomical price that is completely unreasonable that means the contractor doesn’t want the job.

There is also this other “tactic” that construction companies know very well. That is if the company is trying to give you a deal, you as a customer are going to nitpick every little thing. Flip side, if they mark it up the customer will always believe it’s the best job that was ever done.

This made me think of this

Unpopular opinion, but I always find this kind of thing funny. US is damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

We get involved, we’re imperialist swine that only care about our interests.

We don’t, and are scrutinized for letting bad things happen.

Followed by how Linux is so amazing

That is more or less called a strawman

Unless the driver wasn’t insured properly, Taxis cover your bodily injuries in an accident. They should have no medical bills associated with it, and the article is kinda vague on that. If anything they should be taking this up with the insurance company. Unless the driver wasn’t insured properly, and Uber didn’t do their diligence then yeah it’s on Uber.

This seems like these people are trying to sue for more than that though?

Do i believe that Uber is being shady trying to pull some garbage about a separate TOS, yeah that’s shady. They should take it to the next level of appellate courts, which I believe would be the Supreme Court now.

Though this isn’t apples to apples of the Disney thing.

So they were in an Uber, and ordered food on Uber eats, then the Uber driver crashed? Did I read that right?

And music, TV, Movies, Books, thoughts

Whenever I see something like this I feel I must defend my friend who’s a cop.

Before being a cop he was a lifeguard at a beach and my bassist.

Baywatch may tell you differently, but being a lifeguard is a seasonal job, and not a career. The next level of being a lifeguard is becoming a cop, so he did, and he has only beaten one black man so far.

I feel kinda bad for her.

Regardless of being right or wrong, I can’t imagine having all the intimate details of a toxic relationship just be strewn about for the whole world to see in a media circus.

Not saying she’s innocent by any means, she’s crazy, but so is Depp.

If anyone has been in a deeply toxic relationship, it’s crazy how much your personality changes. After watching some of that ridiculous trial I had to stop. It started to remind me of my personal experiences with bad relationships. I never experienced anything that extreme, but I feel if time went on, it would not have been too far off.
