Great points. That's a great way to break it down.

I've got a few ego tools and the only one I'm slightly disappointed with is the mower. The outlet design isn't great and can clog up if you mow anything denser than grass.

String trimmer, leaf blower and snow blowers (both single and dual stage) all work great.

Did you crank it too hard?

It's not just shifting incentives, but likely stems from capitalism in general. Things get really messy when basic human needs are turned into commodities.

I think it should be a general rule that policymakers should do exactly what real estate developers and realtors oppose. Those groups are a parasite to society.

Every few mornings will work until your yeast give you the middle finger, shift in to top gear and blow that baby apart.

You've made a bomb. Please vent properly or you'll be cleaning your concoction from every cranny of that room and hopefully not removing glass from flesh.

That requires IT knowledge from a recent decade. Many municipalities have only recently discovered dialup internet.

Isn't Sikhism one of the religions that practice service to humanity the most? Not only is it extremely disrespectful but you might as well wear a sign that says "extremely ignorant".

I suppose half of Saskatchewan would be carting around signs in that case, though...

That $1 trillion he's claiming also comes from the pockets of Americans, so it's more like - 1 - 9 = - 10.

Yet, that's exactly what happens sometimes. Big developers are professionals at putting in the minimum passable workmanship while putting enough lipstick on to sell it at a high price. The only inspections that take place are for code compliance for particular items, but they don't inspect much of anything outside of that.

Not other than a structural engineer for the foundation.

There are no specific requirements for contractors, but the bank providing the mortgage will likely have some stipulations around bonding and insurance.

Of course you can have an architect design the house, but the designer doesn't need to be an architect.
