Dude you sound just like the Tech Bro's I used to work with when I was a System Analyst. Always looking down on those lower in the perceived hierarchy of jobs and minimizing what they do and have to put up with. Always thinking they were smarter than everyone else. Never bothering to understand why we have certain processes, rules, and requirements.

Delays in these kinds of projects are very seldomly caused by the front line workers. Rather the project engineer made assumptions that reality could not back up, the coordinator (often the same as the project engineer) could not coordinate deliveries to the set time schedule, mother nature sabotaged the time frame, needed equipment/parts suddenly became unavailable.

Anyhow, take your blood pressure meds, do some yoga, and smoke some 420 if that is your thing. Just relax and let the pro's do their job as best as reality will let them.

Lol you think they are doing nothing? I'd recommend you try to learn a bit more about their job.

You have safety observers who's job it is to stand around and watch for anything that can hurt someone and stop it from doing so. You have the site engineer who's job it is to stand around and make adjustments as needed to the design and documentation. You have the job site supervisor who's job it is to manage the people on site and make sure that the rules and regulations are followed. You have apprentices who's job it is to watch and learn what they are expected to do and lend a hand when told to do so under the watchful eyes of more senior workers. You have specialists who's job it is to be on standby until it is time to do their specific piece of work. You would not expect excavation specialists to be able to do plumbing, or electrical work, or gas pipes?

There are specializations that each worker has. Just as you would not ask a roofer to wire up a house or a framer to plumb it, so to there are specialization in these types of jobs as well.

It is cheaper and quicker to keep them on site so that when their specific part of the work is needed it can be done right then and not have to call them and stop everything for an hour or two while they get there.

Brian Stone did good by me. https://stonerealty.kw.com/

Avoid them. Quacks the lot of them. Anyone claiming that all illnesses are caused by spine misalignment and curable via spinal manipulation^(1) should be run out of town like the snake oil salesmen they are. Especially as it is a revealed religion sent to the founder from the other world by a dead physician^(2)

Look for an evidence-based medicine provider instead. There are a number of physical therapist in the area that do good work.

So boring standard stuff. Pick a shop, any of them. They will all have something like that because they sell well to the unwashed masses.

Cherrokee or Eagle would be my first picks for those.

Depends on how you define good, and what you are looking to buy.

While they probably might win in court, the question is will it be worth the time and expense. Because the probability of them being cited and having to go to court is better than 50%. It would be a he said they said type conflict and most police I've delt with tend to refer that to the prosecutor to deal with. So then you need to get a lawyer and spend time going to court.

I'd still call animal control and submit a report, so they have a record in case this has occurred before and they have a nuisance dog file open.

Truth. Open carry is for fools, cosplayers, those who want to intimidate others, and people making a political point. But I repeat myself.

If you have to carry, do so concealed and in a proper holster not dropped in a pocket or tucked into a waist band. Had an idiot almost drop his pistol twice in the store I work at that had kids in it a few weeks ago because he kept sticking it in his sweatpants waistband. I gave him a plastic bag and asked him to keep it in that until he got his pants situation fixed. Note the elastic was so bad off the pants keep slipping down, and he was freeballing. I had to use some brain bleach to get rid of that memory.

Refer them to city code:

Sec. 18-53. - Running at large prohibited; minimum fine.

(a)It shall be unlawful for any person owning, controlling, harboring, possessing, or having the management or care of any dog to permit such dog to run at large.

And if he comes at you again call the cops

Leash your animals if they are anywhere that is not an enclosed and controlled area! I have neighbors who let their little ankle bitters run all over the place with no leash. They are constantly running up to adults, kids, and other animals yipping and barking. And then he comes chasing after them yelling for them to get back into his unfenced yard.

This is aside from the whole entitled assholes who take their comfort animals everywhere with them and expect them to be treated with the same deference that service dogs/miniature horses are.

Truth. If you need cheap hangers their plastic ones are the way to go. They break easy, but when I bought mine they were like 10 for a dollar. I got 5 dollars worth and am just now starting to run out of them.

If in a tent, I'm just using my sleeping bag. If outside I place a canvas tarp down first, then my sleeping bag. None of this mattress stuff. If I'm that hard up that I need a mattress then I'm not tired enough from hiking and being outdoors.

Nope, I pointed out that Old, White, Republicans tend to get light sentences. This is across the board regardless of who appoints the judge or if a jury is doing the sentencing. Thus it is nice to be one when you crime.

Which means absolutely nothing. Unless you think that a center-right president who would have fit right in with the republican party of Eisenhower somehow appoints only Judges who do not give out light sentences to white collar criminals who fit the specific pattern as shown here unless they really really super deserve to get of lightly?

Bulldoze the whole area and rebuild it to modern road standards? Or better yet put in decent mass transportation.

Frankly the whole area should be closed off to road traffic and serviced by shuttle busses. At the very least restrict vehicle size so that large trucks with towing hitches are not sticking out into the street when they park blocking traffic. I hate driving down there and avoid it like the plague.

A fair sentence would have been in the middle to lower part of the guidelines. This was a light sentence.

Drunk Drivers fall under state law which has different sentencing guidelines, this was a federal case. Her guidelines as a first time offender was a minimum of 87 months to 105 max for the crimes she is guilty of. For fraud cases a large part of the guidelines comes from the amount stolen. The more you steal the longer time you are supposed to do.

The Judge went easy on her. 75 months when the sentencing guidelines bottom out at 87. It must be good to be an old white republican. He gave her a light sentence even though he found no contrition.

What you experienced was a closing of credit lines along with other factors. NOT a paying off of debt.

Prior to buying my home, I paid off my car, and credit cards. But I keep the line of credit open and still used the cards (just paid them off in full each month incurring no debt). I had no loss of credit score and was easily able to get financing.

As long as you have proper documented income and open lines of credit, you will have no issues getting financing.

Got mine through Great Southern based on a co-worker recommendation. They sold it to a third party shortly thereafter. Dealing with Great Southern was pretty easy, the other guys not so much. Get a realtor and ask them for advice. Brian Stone was great to work with and I highly recommend him.

Oh, and making the thing into a giant shelter for the homeless would actually be a good use of public funds. We can centralize services for them, saving money while containing problems to a small area that is easily patrolled. The city as a whole would benefit. We could put in a small clinic and police office onsite as well. Provide onsite addiction treatment and counseling and mental healthcare. As well as permeant housing services and job assistance. A big part of the homeless not being able to get a job is employers' reluctance to hire anyone with no permanent address and hygiene issues. I know when I do interviews if you smell or are dirty, I do not care how good a resume you have I'm not hiring you.

Trust funds can spend funds on improvements. And you are making a supposition that Restaurants, hotels, shops et all actually significantly benefited from said stadium^(1). This is the same tired argument that keeps getting retreaded every time public funds are used to prop up private enterprise. If the stadium had been profitable then it could easily have gotten financing. Or the Cardinals could easily have ponied up to buy it themselves if it is that important to them. Their organization is worth how many billion??? ~20 million is barely even a drop in their net revenues.

There is multiple buy here pay here financing guaranteed as long as you have a job type places here in town. I used the one in Strafford about 15 years ago, they are good people.

That said paying off your debts will not negatively impact your credit rating (baring though bankruptcy). Depending on how they are structured it will even give a boost to your credit rating. So, I'm concluding that the story here is incomplete.

It is more the freezing cycle of expansion and contraction of water after it has gotten into the road. Exasperated by cheap incomplete patch jobs, and inadequate funding for maintenace.

If it was that big of a tax generator (i.e. profitable) they would not have needed a public bail out.
