To be fair, there are several ‘types’ of home that have ways of avoiding building codes. For example, Alaska is notorious for the most lax building codes and easiest to get around. Want to build your own bushman log cabin on your 100 acres that barely passes as a shack but won’t immediately kill anyone? Go for it. But if you are a track home builder trying to stand up a new neighborhood, follow the code.

“Big electric is trying to ban gas stoves again and cancel your god given right to buy indoor gas stoves!” Big gas -2020

“Big gas is trying to ban coal stoves again and cancel your god given right to buy indoor coal stoves!” Big coal -1920

“Big coal is trying to ban wood stoves again and cancel your god given right to buy indoor wood stoves!” Big wood -1820

…

“Big fire is trying to ban raw food again and cancel your god given right to tear raw flesh with your teeth!”

It isn’t legal to build new homes that vent to the inside. In the US, there is no national build code, only states regulate code. But all states default to some minimum year of the ICC codes. At this point there are no remaining states where it is legal to have a new build vented inside.

This isn’t to say though that some states were late to adopt a minimum year that finally included it and maybe your semi-new-ish house just barely fell under old regulations when it was built. That said, cities can also enforce a higher code if the building is being rented out and needs to have an occupancy license and may force an owner to do the upgrade before renting out.

Kind of, yes. But also the actual person people are normally talking to when they think the OF girl is responding. Also, sending the messages to the subscribers with new pics.

If my company made a billion dollars while losing 10 billion dollars, I still had a billion dollars in revenue. I just also happened to piss away 9 more billion dollars than I made.

I don’t know why people have downvoted you when what you said was probably the most accurate on here. I would also add that the Alaska brand has seaweed emulsion that works as an amazing fertilizer as well. I normally rotate through fish, seaweed, and a low level synthetic (10-10-10).

As EMS arrived they found McConnell had been flipped onto his shell, with his legs flailing the responders were able to flip him back.

Controversy surrounds his age of 84 years old, but others of his species have lived in captivity up to 150 years old.

His Kentucky Republican breed is well known for not only surviving on the typical Republican diet of banks, oil and gas, and occasional telecommunications companies, but also has a diet supplemented from his wife’s income streams of insider informed stocks.

As your tab is auto charged to your biometrics and the bartender points to the door you decide to get the last words in-

“If something is verifiable sentient then I might change my tune, until then robots can fuck off!”

Another patron gasps at your lashing out, “did he just use the R-word? I’m so sorry bartender that you have to hear that. Just remember -not all humans.”

The bouncer approaches you and starts to corral you to the door. “Sir, it’s time for you to go”

You finish off your final rant from the doorway, “Robotic life will still be a rape baby foisted onto us by corporate technocrats!”

The door is closed on you. Inside, the bartender’s emotion chip glows, nearing short circuit. The other patron consoles them and tells them, “if you need to take a minute and collect your emotions, I understand. It is a long and hard road to equality.”

I immediately imagine a scenario 100 years in the future with you in a bar, slightly drunk and provoked by the young’ns to get the old man to rant against the Silicos.

One of the patrons overhears your offensively biocentric rant and asks you to check you DNA privilege and to stop using life exclusive language and to consider the feeling of silico-life forms and their struggles for equality.

You then mock them with a silver-face impression “SoRrY, cOuLd NoT cOmPuTe” while doing robot arms.

The bar tender, who is a synthetic, is on the verge of tears and asks you to leave…

I would rather my tax dollars don’t go to government investments of ripping Pokémon boosters and magic cards. The military would also balloon more than it already has.

Fuuuuuuck yes. It’s up there with all the other ones every one is saying “one of the best ever” the only difference is that no one ever talks about this one. The first 3 or so episodes are a little hard because they were made at peak GoT times and needed to ‘out Got the GoT’ and put in extra sex, violence, and bullshit that was superfluous to the story. But after that, it was pure gold. It needed one more season to finish the story. Two if they wanted to finish ot without rushing.

This reminds me of the guy on sharktank that had an app for iPhone to take panoramic pictures on its own by standing up the phone on its edge and it used the vibrating frequency to move.

The app was nothing big or special and no one wanted. The programming on how they achieved it was all anyone wanted and they made a shit load of money selling it.

And women who get breast implants after receiving a double mastectomy are simply restoring their body back to what it was, neither affirming or changing but rather ‘restoring’ the appearance. The category of operations received is still called gender affirming.

Anything that is manipulating the body more in line with the perceived gender is called gender affirming care.

And it doesn’t even need to be surgeries. Men with low T receiving testosterone shots is a form of gender affirming care.

And yes, I read the article.

This is actually a great example of how the majority of ‘gender affirming care’ is actually for a person who is already assigned at birth the gender they are affirming.

This male, who was assigned male at birth, is seeking gender affirming care to become… more male.

Oddly, yes.

Percentages also add together in partials. As in 10%+5%+2% = 17%

So, you start with the 10% by moving the decimal over 83.27 becomes 8.327

Then add half of that (5%) to its self and get 12.49 (rounded)

Then take the 10% number and move the decimal over once more (1%) for 0.833 and double it (from 1% to 2%) and get 1.666 and add that to your running total to get your answer of 14.16 (rounding)

And when I calculator check this I got 14.1559.

Be you: a black woman who has fought her way to upper management, but still not taken seriously and forced to live under a glass ceiling.

You know you are under paid from your colleagues, and had to work twice as hard to get there. You know things are going down.

Now is your chance to get that bag and cash out of a system that has continually oppressed you and fucked you over at every turn.

Do you sail the sinking ship and take the golden parachute? Or do you ride the sinking ship and drown with the third class passengers?
