@cashrulesNC Go to a plumbing showroom. Ask to hold a delta faucet, then ask to hold a Brizo faucet, same company, different brands. The difference in weight is staggering. Compare a delta to a faucet off Amazon, the weight difference will be the same.
Plastic works, but it’s not ideal.
@Tneliton I don’t either, but as a general contractor, it’s getting harder to sell bathroom remodels when the plumbing cost is 1/4 the budget.
It’s true, you have to be an apprentice for so many hours before you can be a journeyman.
One of the most incredible aspects of the World Cup in the United States is what we DIDN’T have to do to prepare for it.
Qatar built multiple brand new stadiums, a metro system, roads, hotels, and entire districts.
South Africa built new stadiums, parking, etc.
Brazil spent billions on stadium and transit projects.
Russia built and rebuilt venues across the country.
Meanwhile, the U.S. was like: “We’re good.”
Like, we modified the playing surface in some stadiums and that was it.
The sport venue infrastructure in the US mogs every other country on earth and it’s not even close.
Is SpaceX really worth $1.8T? Probably not.
But the Dutch East India Company was worth $8T in today’s dollars. They got rich exploring the unknown.
SpaceX is about to do the same thing.
@moseskagan@JordanBanaf I understand what you are saying Moses, but he could work his butt off for 4 years doing what you suggest, and it wouldn’t move the needle. California(LA) is blue to its core and won’t vote for anyone reasonable until the city is completely lost.
@LoganARobison The weed I would address. I’m in Oregon where it’s legal, and I would be mad about it on a job. The cigarettes, no, they are concrete guys.
