they will ask questions if you try and when you cannot answer them 'correctly' refuse it.

It is covered in history, and so I remember it. However that was a few decades ago and so I'd have to look up details to talk about it again. I did well in history, I expect everyone else remembers less than me. (except for those who for some reason it is relevant for their daily life, or those who for whatever reason have looked it up)

How do you propose to not pay taxes? Most people don't get a choice - their boss takes the money and gives it to the IRS. You can maybe get a little less than correct withheld and thus owe a couple thousand, but the IRS would catch on to that quickly and send you to prison.

They might or might not pay taxes, but they either way they are paying their legally required taxes. If they are paying less taxes than you think they should - that is politically debated.

I still want to know what happened to all the free trade Republicans of just 2 decades ago?

I did traditional construction for a couple years. a few years ago several of my neighburs lived in prefab houses and they all reported minor quality issuse that because of the natureeof prefab and how they cut corners couldn't be fixed.

I've done that - I was in construction and we had one house with 10 foot walls which are not standard. It was faster than the windows, sillplates and the like - but not by much. We don't have a miter saw on the truck so it was even up the ends, then measure, snap a chalkline, then cut 1.5 layers. Then move that second layer by enough to not cut the layer below and finish the cut. (you cannot continue down the stack as errors accumulate) Windows and doors are standard so after some time I just knew the most common sizes - I did have to do some works for the odd sized windows.

I've never heard one that is fully convincing. I know there are some real coal miners who sing songs like this, but I've never heard one.

I like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzlT80jQ3lo but I'm not sure that better is the correct way to describe it. (this is the Geoff Castellucci version that someone else already linked)

Which is about as prefab as the studs in a stick frame house which is also shipped to the site the correct size.

Either way the point is most of the useful prefab innovations have been done decades ago and are normal.

The vast majority of your lumber will be standard 92-5/8 or 104-5/8, he first sized to fit standard 4x8 sheets of drywall, the second a different size (I forget what) which is also available. They plywood is mostly 4x8 sheets where you cut only the edges and around windows.

Prefab is not as useful as it sounds. Houses are already factory made - they just bring the factory to the site on a truck. Most of the parts are already pre-cut in a separate factory, only a small minority need to be cut. They just take parts and put them together.

Most prefab attempts are cheaper only because quality standards are lower.

He is a great singer, but he just doesn't have the right voice (though he tries). To sing this correctly you need to have smoked two packs a day for 40 years, or at least worked in a real coal mine for that long.

I feel similarly about Amazing grace - it should never be sung in church (except maybe as a solo) because most people in church have been going all their life and while not perfect don't have the awful background in sin to be believable.

OR when you want better quality than the standard boxes you can buy anywhere. (ie boxes that last more than a month)
