This customer signed a contract for some concrete work. He’s concerned because a friend told him that the job the contractor did could not be good because they got it done so quickly and is now refusing to pay the full amount, only $600 now and will pay the... rest once the concrete cures and he sees it’s ok. I see this from both sides however I think he should pay the amount he agreed on. Most contractors warranty their work. If anything was to happen afterwords then I would expect them to come fix it. I wouldn’t without someone’s livelihood because of that. I understand that with any job there is a risk involved. Most of the time the work is done to my liking and there is no issues. On those rare occasions that things happen then I must trust that the contractor will do the right thing based on the contract we both signed. This principle applies to everything we encounter in life from cars to appliances we buy. I think the warranty is what protects us from faulty or defective services or products. I wouldn’t be surprised if the contractor files a lien on his home, I would expect that to happen. The homeowner should just do the right thing and fulfill his end of the bargain by paying for what he agreed upon.show more

This man hired this company to redo the concrete in his back patio area. They agreed on a price and signed a contract. The company was almost done when the customer claimed that they did it wrong, the company then said they would demolish it if he wouldn’t or couldn’t pay. The customer then threatens to call the police if they remove or damage the work already done even though he hasn’t paid them a dime yet. The company at this point has paid for all materials. Since he won’t pay them, are they free to do what they want including demolishing the work they did?

This woman called this contractor to do some work, after he presented her with a quote, she agreed to the price and moved forward. The contractor is now almost done and is asking for his money. She’s refusing to pay now, claiming it’s because he isn’t licensed and insured, which she already knew before she agreed to let him do it. Do you think she waited till he was almost done to spring that on him knowing his recourses are limited?

If ima argue with the Bih for free and yall gon pay to see it¿ that’s me right there.”

Trump on eliminating the Filibuster… He might just be giving you the playbook on how the rest of this plan gets rolled out… “I am totally in favor of terminating the filibuster, and we would be back to work within 10 minutes after that vote took place, and lots of other good things would happen. Here's some of the things that we'd pass if we terminated the filibuster, voter ID, no mail in, voting, no cash bail, no men and women's sports, no welfare for illegals. You could go on and on. This is two pages of things would do if you did that without it. I don't know that you passed anything, because you can't deal with them. But if we do it. We will never lose the midterms, and we will never lose the general election, because we will have produced so many different things for our people, for the people, for the country, that it would be impossible to lose an election. ….. if the filibuster is terminated, we will have the most productive three years in the history of our country. If the filibuster is not terminated, then we will be in a slog with the Democrats, and very little for either party will be done. So it's a good thing.”

This customer hired these landscapers to install gravel walkways and to mulch around his yard. When it was time to pay, he stated he won’t pay the full amount because the service did not include edging, which he never even told them he wanted them to do. I feel the customer is scamming the landscapers at this point, his argument isn’t valid, the landscapers are not mind readers. They would have no idea that he wanted this service done as well. Could they have explained it better, maybe but how would they know he wanted it especially if they operate differently than what he was expecting. I see opportunities for both parties involved. I think the customer should have been clear from the start what his expectation was and what he wanted. On the other hand I feel the contractors should have explained it better as well especially if the edging service is an additional price.

Elon Musk says IF he could, he would slow down the advancements of AI & Robotics: “I just want to separate out from what I wish would happen versus what I predict will happen, because people get confused about that. They think that what I predict will happen is what I want it to happen. What I predict to happen is not the same as what I want to happen. If I could, I would certainly slow down AI and robotics, but I can’t. It seems to be advancing at a very rapid pace, whether I like it or not.”

Michael Jordan: "Now it's like a prerequisite: Everybody has to have a logo...I'm part of the reason why everybody tries to get a logo and brand but the thing is that brand established based on what I did on the basketball court. I didn't put the brand before I put the work. I put the work first and then the brand evolved based on the work. Generationally, I like to think that most of the time people will remember Michael Jordan based on what he did on the basketball court and not always the commercials that he did"

Edwin Sifuna: The reason I will not resign yet is because I have not given up yet, I have not given up on members of the ODM. There is still belief and trust within the ranks of the party that Baba knows what is right for the people and that he will do the right thing. On the day that I give up, I will tell you, I will say it publicly that I have lost the battle to rescue this party and to bring it back to where it was #CitizenExplainer Yvonne Okwara

This man owns this house, it’s been vacant for a few months but he’s in the process of renovating it. He got a call from a contractor that was scheduled to work on the home that he couldn’t access the driveway and that there were a few cars parked there. The man was confused because he hasn’t had any tenants there for a while and goes over there to see what’s going on. When he arrives he sees the cars parked there and finds out it’s the next door neighbors cars. At first the woman was ok and agreed to move them but when he demanded she moved them now, her dad and husband start getting involved and threatening him. They even threaten to call the cops on him because he doesn’t want them parking in his vacant driveway. I feel it’s his house, if he gave them permission, that’s one thing but they took it upon themselves to do it anyways. Was she right to park there since nobody lived there?

"There's plenty of good scientists in South America but they, clearly, aren't given the resources they need." ~Nolan Neanderthals, Mummies, Buga & Maussan "I could, probably...get in the likes of the guys who did the Neanderthal work." ~GN (Imagine having them ⬆️ work on the mummies!? Talk about credible! Sad to see it won't be happening any time soon unless things change. What would Garry P. Nolan ask for if he were to take on the mummy mystery?) Nolan: "I need a whole bunch of money. Not for me, personally. I estimated, I think online somewhere, about $5 million to do it right, which would be paying for postdoc researchers of various types. And essentially, the first thing we would do is collect all the data that's already known. Figure out what's usable, what's good, preliminary data that would cause us to go look in a next direction. And not set it aside, but put it aside in a way that said, 'Okay, well, there's all that preliminary data over there. Now let's - based on this - do the next thing that you know we should do.' "And then everything needs to be collated, the instruments used, the methods used, etc., because it's all going to have to go into a peer-reviewed paper where you can't just make stuff up about what the methods were. You can't, 'Well, I think I did this.' No, that's not what you can do, and that's not what you will do if you're gonna do it properly. "And it would, probably, be three or four different teams of people that would need to be brought in to do it right. And so no one was willing to do it that way. And so I said, 'No, I won't do it.' There's plenty of good scientists in South America but they, clearly, aren't given the resources they need, nor the power that would allow them to keep results quiet as they're being generated. "I could, probably, be able to get in the likes of the guys who did the Neanderthal work (genome sequencing ~Joe) IF they felt that I provided them sufficient information that would make it interesting to them and worth their time. And not get caught up in the circus that can be generated around these things. That's the reason why a lot of serious scientists, who I know are interested in it, but won't touch it with a thousand-foot pole, because of the antics that go on." (That needs to change if we're ever going to get a definitive answer on the mummies.) Nolan: "A similar the similar thing happened - I'm just gonna be honest - with the Buga sphere. Jaime Maussan contacted me soon after he had recovered the sphere. And I said, 'Okay, great.' And he called me. He said, 'Can you help? What should I do?' And I said, 'Well, you should get a mobile x-ray machine. And you need this and this.' And so, he literally managed to get it almost the next day, and sent me some of the first results. And I said, 'Great! Okay, so...let's keep this quiet. Let's do this, this and this. And now I need it at this angle and at this angle.' And he said, 'Okay, great, I'll do that.' "And then I woke up the next morning and it was all over Twitter. And I just wrote Jaime and I said, 'This isn't what I thought we talked about.' And his answer was, 'Well, we need to get this information out because someone's gonna suppress it.' Well, here we are now, what, six months later? And where are we? Nowhere. "And maybe Jaime's doing something. I don't doubt his desire. But I said, 'I won't be involved with this now because I can't trust that the information won't be ending up on Twitter the next day, before we've even had a chance to determine what is it that is going on." (Sucks, but it's not surprising. If the best scientists in the world demand silence until their work is complete then somebody who will avoid publicity until the study is done needs to be put on charge instead of Maussan.)

David Sacks: The Techno-Realist On E215, David Sacks explained a third category outside of techno-optimist and doomer: "Given the choice between the two categories of techno-optimist and techno-pessimist, I'm definitely in the optimist camp. And I think we should be." "But I think there's actually a third category that I would submit: techno-realist." "Which is, technology is going to happen. Trying to stop it is like ordering the tides to stop." "AI is going to happen. We might as well be the leader." "If we don't do it, somebody else will. China's going to do it or somebody else will do it." "If we don't, we could lose in a key category that has implications for national security, for our economy, for many things." "That's just not a world we want to live in." "So, I think a lot of this debate is sort of academic because the question is just, is it going to happen or not?" "And I think the answer is yes. So then we want to control it." "There's not a tremendous amount of choice in this, I think."

"Assuming the current trend of AI and robotics continues, which seems likely, the AI and robots will be able to do anything that that humans want them to do, essentially, so hopefully not more than that, but AI and robotics will be able to provide us all the goods and services that anyone could possibly want so you wouldn't need to work. People will be able to wherever they want with their free time. Work will be optional. I just want to separate out from like what I wish would happen versus what I predict will happen.

Near as I can tell this contractor did a lot of work for a Karen including building stairs, and a landing off her deck . She is refusing to pay halfway through the job saying he’s not licensed . So the contractor starts to pull down all the work he did.. He never clarifies if he’s licensed or not . Who is in the right here ?

Mike Johnson is the most cowardly, spineless, yellow-bellied piece of shit that I have ever had the displeasure to lay my eyes on. And I worked in Dallas ER. I have seen some shit, yall! One thing that I would like to occur is that there needs to be a minimum amount of time Congress is to be on the job in DC. And if they are not, then they need to get a pay cut. I don’t know about y’all, but I’m pretty fucking tired of paying for their extended vacations because the speaker of the house is a pathetic piece of shit. The Republicans in the house COULD get rid of him, and chooses not to. So, your chance to stop being stupid and to vote for people that will work for you is coming up. DONT FUCK IT UP AGAIN

mind you this was what carlos said about standing up for what he believes about the new regulations, he said he would be the first one to stand up and refute them if he didn't agree with it, but the media turn his statement into something that it wasn't Carlos: “I have to give it the opportunity first and then judge, as I have said before, and I insist, if I see that I don’t like it or it doesn’t motivate me or I see that this Formula 1 has too many negative parts, I will be the first to go with Max to talk to Stefano Domenicali or to talk to Mohammed Ben Sulayem to tell him : 'hey this doesn’t work, you were wrong, we didn’t enjoy the car, we have to change something because this is not going anywhere” I will be the first to do it and I will go with Max hand in hand or with George or whoever' “But I insist, I think that my personal level is still not the time and it’s still time to judge without even having run a race” and the fact that it is not the first time, is what is more infuriating

Kuria Kimani: One of the things I think should be the right thing to do is to make sure that if there is going to be a motor vehicle tax then it should apply to all vehicles so that if these government officials have to reduce the number in the fleet of vehicles they use then they have to do that. I think everyone should pay tax #CitizenTonight Sam Gituku

Paul Verhoeven on whether the events that take place in "Total Recall" (1990) are real or just a dream: "It is both. To be honest, that’s what I want. I made the movie in a way that it would be true on both levels, and I spent a lot of time to get that. If you want a scientific explanation, you know, of course, in quantum mechanics there is a very interesting principle, the principle of uncertainty, Heisenberg’s principle. If you have a big object and if you try to measure the place of the object and the velocity of the object at the same time, the more precisely you measure velocity the less precise place gets. So that’s the principle. That means, of course, that there are different realities possible at the same moment. What I wanted to do in 'Total Recall' is to do a movie where both levels are true. I mean for me, of course, the film anyhow has to do with two realities, one being the reality of going as a secret agent to Mars and discovering that there is a problem, and solving the problem, which is starting the nuclear reactor and helping the guerrillas and destroying Cohaagen. The second level of the movie, of course, is that from the moment that he goes into the Rekall chair ‘til the end it’s a dream, and I tried to make that second level work throughout the whole movie. So there’s the dream level which starts when he gets into the chair and the thing is in his neck, and that would go throughout the whole movie, so in the next scene where they say, Oh, there’s a problem, there’s a big glitch here, that would be already the dream, of course. That’s where the dream starts. And the next scene where they are fighting and stuff would be part of his dream, convincing him that it is real, because there is a glitch but that would be part of the program. It would be built into the program to make him accept the fact that it’s real, but it’s a dream. If you look at the movie, if you haven’t seen it, or for the second time, you’ll see that the whole program that’s set up at the beginning when he goes to the Rekall office and he talks to this guy who sells him the program on Mars, you’ll see that he gets everything that he wants: he gets the trip to Mars, he gets the girl, the exotic girl, he ki!!s the bad guys, and he saves the entire planet. That’s what he does. And that’s basically the dream. Even halfway through the movie, you may remember, this other guy comes in, Dr. Edgemar, and tells him that he’s in a dream, that he’s still in the Rekall chair, and then Arnold says, “If I’m there, I can ki!! you.” And he puts a gun to his head and the guy says, “Sure, no problem for me, big problem for you, because you will be psychotic from now on because the walls of reality will fall apart. One moment you will be the savior of the rebel cause, the next moment you’ll be Cohaagen’s bosom buddy, but in the end—you will even have these strange fantasies about alien civilizations—but at the end you will be lobotomized.” And then if you see the movie, you realize that all these things happen. I mean he is lobotomized at the end. That’s why at the last shot, when they are so happy and kissing each other, it slowly fades to white, which for me meant, “OK, there he goes. That’s the end-that’s the dream—they lobotomized him.” And all the other things happened, he finds the alien civilization, he rescues the planet, he finds the good girl, he k!!ls the bad guys, but it’s a dream. Now, of course you can see it as a reality, too. So at the end of the movie, getting to white means either it’s a happy ending or he loses his brains . . . which is probably also a happy ending, I don’t know. That was basically what l wanted—that at the end there would be two possibilities, and they would be both true—for me they are both true—it’s not either one or the other. It’s not that either it’s a dream or it is a reality. It is a dream and it is a reality. And I think they’re both there."

Paul Verhoeven on whether the events that take place in "Total Recall" (1990) are real or just a dream: "It is both. To be honest, that’s what I want. I made the movie in a way that it would be true on both levels, and I spent a lot of time to get that. If you want a scientific explanation, you know, of course, in quantum mechanics there is a very interesting principle, the principle of uncertainty, Heisenberg’s principle. If you have a big object and if you try to measure the place of the object and the velocity of the object at the same time, the more precisely you measure velocity the less precise place gets. So that’s the principle. That means, of course, that there are different realities possible at the same moment. What I wanted to do in 'Total Recall' is to do a movie where both levels are true.
