Resistance is almost always just a lack of certainty.

Specifically, the condition provided by: a. a military or defense advantage over any foreign nation or group of nations; b. a favorable foreign relations position; or c. a defense posture capable of successfully resisting hostile or destructive action from within or without, overt or covert.

Sorry couldn't resist too many military in my family.I wrote my first blog quite awhile ago (it was awful) about how I did everything wrong and still made money.

It’s also water resistant.

I invest in recession resistant niches like triple net lease. 

Also, it only makes sense if your options are resistance electric and oil or propane.

We found existing subdivision and zoning regulations had lost track of their reasons for being but were still zealously defended by old timers who offered strong resistance.

But now the architect is bringing an engineer on board to measure the wind resistance on the new windows.

Most folks will just take the path of least resistance.

The main goal I think was to be able to depend on the house standing up straight, resisting water intrusion, resisting high winds, etc.
