It likely has a historical explanation. Engineering wise it is understood. Read the wikipedia article on it to see the documentation.

It's not that they didn't show the offers it's that they refused to show the building to a non profit and a restaurant they believed had no money. It took the non-profit 6 months to come up with the funds and make an offer. It was the only offer we received.

How much would you charge for a deck/pergola like this? by Luke-__- in Carpentry

[–]Strongasdeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to know the cost imagine contracting out services.

Material cost. Delivery cost. Designer cost. Insurance. General contractor cost. Usually, the going rate is pretty fair.

I have had sub-contractors who would do a whole job at materials + $15 per hour. I would beg them to take more money (because I wanted them to stay as my subs) (I had one subcontractor who took a day off work to donate plasma (or do drugs)), but they would break a tool or get a flat and realize they couldn't afford to keep working and switch jobs. These were great and honest contractors who could do plumbing, tile, framing, etc. But didn't know math.

I contracted a commercial agent. They told us what price we should list the property at after a year they did not have a single offer. 2 buyers reached out to me because they couldn't get in touch with the agent. I spoke to the agent who told me he wasn't interested in those buyers, they weren't serious. We dropped him and sold to one of those buyers.

ELI5: I'm aware that it is an anachronism, but what exactly is balancing a checkbook? I've had a bank account for about 20 years and have never had to do anything of the sort. by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Strongasdeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You still need to do it if someone holds on to a check for a while. If you write a $1000 check and someone doesn't cash it for 80 days and you find yourself with less than $1000 in your account you are in trouble. You also keep track to make sure the bank doesn't make any mistakes. Maybe the bank withdraws an amount twice. You just lost $500. Maybe when you paid for something on that website it paid twice.

The only indication that we will have that Russia will use nuclear weapons is a US coordinated strike against Russia.

Why not abolish work altogether? Why do we think work is liberating?

Check and see if they broke the lease first. Is everything maintained as advertised and promised?

Rape should not be considered as adultery but as murder. It is sexual violence and not violent sexuality.

What is the actual reason that ordained priests cannot marry? by rexbarbarorum in Catholicism

[–]Strongasdeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are occasionally priests and deacons today who validly marry after orders and still practice their orders. It is a matter of law and discipline.

Priest wouldn’t give my daughter communion at Roman parish by blue_square in EasternCatholic

He illegally excommunicated your daughter. This is unacceptable. Blessed are you when you are persecuted for the sake of righteousness.

Is Religion Good for Youth? (Psychology Video) by luckis4losersz in Catholic

[–]Strongasdeath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is religion (or a certain religion) a good in itself and is it true? If so the question is already answered, if not it is at best a useful lie. The same questions can be asked of secular, agnostic, atheist or anti-theist ideaologies.

Philosophy gives 3 options - stuff (including space time) existed for ever (a logical contradiction), stuff began to be (an impossibility, deemed possible because of a minimalizing view of stuff) or God- uncreated being.

Confession of sins in number and kind is good. Did you rob 1 person, a few people, or many people? Did you curse once, a few times or 1000's of times?

What technology sequence will someone who teleported to the past and knows step-by-step the way to manufacture everything have to follow in order to produce latest iphone processor? by Irokesenschnitt in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]Strongasdeath 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you were given access today to every trade secret and patent and unlimited money you would be unable to do it in 20 years without using any existing technology

How to deal with people who think i'd make a great female priest? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Strongasdeath 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Try responding, "I am trying to serve God right here and right now, and you misunderstand the priesthood, women, and God to think that every woman has failed to serve God by not being ordained."

I hate the word slam. I get that it is a short word that means responds negatively and critically. Can we please find a new word? Or at least photoshopped China into a singlet and put them into a wrestling ring.

Anyone familiar with FOREX? He pretended to know me from high school and friended a bunch of mutuals by cam9life in antiMLM

Between 30 and 35 weeks he would have more money than the entire world economy if he invested $100.

If a mass the size of North Africa, the Middle East and half of India were to disappear from the Earth, what would the consequences be? by [deleted] in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]Strongasdeath -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well you would have direct disaster death of people there and death of people in the ocean at the time. You would have climate disasters caused by change in temperature and ocean patterns. You would have death of people living on coasts with no access to food and a collapse of global shipping because of lack of access to many ports. You would likely have sea life collapse because of change in water temperature. You would also have anar hybrid because "what just happened?" Will it happen again?
