Happy birthday America ! <| sep |> You just described this whole election season in a nutshell . <| sep |> Well the NSA has never lied to us before ! Edit Love how I ' m getting downvoted for questioning the integrity of the NSA . Strange times . <| sep |> Buy LEGO games and play them with your front door open <| sep |> I dunno man , I think the quality of posts would definitely plummet for a few weeks after the deletion of a sub like rthedonald . Let ' em have their sub and keep it outta the rest of the boards . <| sep |> Honestly nothing will probably come of this besides rhetoric on both sides . <| sep |> In general , you won ' t always know . Your best bet would be to get your company ' s name out there and advertise your product as best as possible . Someone from the government would likely contact you at some point to obtain a market research quote . You could then put 2 and 2 together to assume a solicitation would be coming soon . But there is not always a specific timeline as to whenwherehow a product is publicized once received by the Contracting Office . There is also no guarantee that that market research request will get funded .
