I hope you stole those from an Amazon warehouse or bought them from a bookstore that was supposed to rip off the cover and burn them.

Don’t forget the false imprisonment, the lies told in court, and the crimes against humanity. She’s already earned herself a place on old sparky, and whoever Miller puts in there next will do the same.

I’ve been through a few earthquakes on the west coast, but I’ve never had a rat in my house. Just mice.

Interesting. Looks like the claim is that New York doesn’t allow Romex or PEX because rats chew through it. True local condition or urban legend?

I know, but I don’t understand how code differences between states make them harder to build. Anything you can take off the shelf and build somewhere else (different soil, different climate) is overbuilt for one of the places.

Anything that will survive an earthquake and a fire is good enough for coastal California.

AFAIK, zip is popular in the south because it’s humid outside and you run an air conditioner most of the year. Air that leaks in condenses and rots the inside of the house. It’s popular in zones 5-8 because air that leaks out condenses and rots the outside of the house. LA is dry and temperate.

I now see who you are and apologize. If you have examples of code variations (not zoning or permitting) being a big issue driving costs, it would be interesting to know how.

I looked at the history but missed that context. If you are talking about commercial, then I know nothing except that it’s out of my price range and interest.

Everyone basically follows a recent-ish version of the IRC. States occasionally change a few words, strike out a section, or take a while to approve the latest version. The IRC represents our best collective knowledge of how to build a house that doesn’t kill people.

I don’t think building code variations are a major source of housing costs. Permitting conditions outside of the building code are.

It’s a hard one for some of us to unlearn. On the playground, it was acceptable where 4-letter words were not. It wasn’t racist. It hit harder than “stupid”. It was a “go to”.
I treat it as worse than generic curse words now, but 1980-1992 me is still surprised by this turn.

Another 8 years of crushing budget surpluses combined with a lack of military adventures would have weakened the American spirit and enabled Hillary to kill babies at an unimaginable scale.

Evangelicals have been on this road since at least the early 2000s both here and abroad.
All that matters for reaching heaven is your personal relationship with God - which nobody else can know. Deeds and work in this world are all performative and don’t count.

CO in particular seems to have a mutual extradition treaty for crimes with sentences >1yr. I don’t think this is likely to work unless the next administration just says “F it, please take this asshole off our hands” but a more expert take would be welcome.

Tom - since you are an expert, it would be nice for you to spell out what the limitations are. What I see online is that on receipt of a red notice, the US complies as described by treaty. VE and CO have mutual extradition treaties with the US and many other countries.
