It shouldn’t be slanted, I’m going to go with “not to code”, or your local building code didn’t adopt IRC for stairs.
- Comment on Perspective 1 day ago:
3/4" min to 1-1/4" max is code, with a 9/16" nosing. No nose is doable, but with a min step depth of 11", generally youre not seeing that outside of commercial spaces (and typically concrete).
Not sure where you are (or if your stairs are even up to code), but that’s what they are referring to.

No interest in your bs. Goodbye.
- Comment on No criminal charges over British woman shot in US 1 week ago:
You have to fix all of the issues.
Yeah, dont bother fixing it at all unless you can fix everything. Solo… Exactly what I said you said?
“Not remotely” means not at all and “not as big a role”
Depends on the scale.
And considering things can be brought back in front of a grand jury because its not a criminal trial, yeah, ita basically *nothing by comparison as a problem.
Say more bullshit about moving goalposts and I’ll just go ahead and block.
- Comment on No criminal charges over British woman shot in US 1 week ago:
By comparison to the other issues they arent remotely problematic.
Nothing i said is contradictory, so you can cut that crap now.
- Comment on No criminal charges over British woman shot in US 1 week ago:
“Don’t fix anything because so much is broken” and “All problems are of the same importance” are not, and will never be, philosophies I subscribe to.
You do you bud.
- Comment on No criminal charges over British woman shot in US 1 week ago:
I’d personally say cops, prosecutors going for the easy win, the structure around plea bargains, judges made by selection, judges elected with no knowledge or experience required, etc, play far bigger roles in the problems with the system of justice, but sure.
- Comment on No criminal charges over British woman shot in US 1 week ago:
Yes, a prosecutor presents evidence to convince a jury to go to trial. They have to influence the jury to agree.
Defense’s part comes at the trial.
The expression “a grand jury could indict a ham sandwich” is a nod to the fact that, often, a grand jury votes in the direction the prosecutor wants them to.
Because they usually bring sufficient evidence, and the jury is only deciding if there is sufficient evidence to move forward. This doesnt decide guilt.
There are plenty of things to complain about when it comes to the US “justice” system. Grand jury decisions aren’t remotely the problematic part.
- Comment on No criminal charges over British woman shot in US 1 week ago:
What part of my comment said otherwise?
- Comment on No criminal charges over British woman shot in US 1 week ago:
Yep, thats how its supposed to work.
Which is why there may be a perfectly reasonable issue as to why it didnt go any further.
- Comment on No criminal charges over British woman shot in US 1 week ago:
That would be negligence charges, yes, which is what went to the grand jury. The grand jury, for the record here, is a bunch of randomly selected people - not the cops, or a prosecutor, or anything like that. Its a jury. And what this jury decides is not guilt, but whether or not there is enough evidence that supports the charges to bring it to a trial.
And that grand jury decided there was not.
I’m not aware of (and was unable to find) any specifics around what actually happened, so there may be a very good reason why this was the case.
I’m not defending the decision here, just explaining the situation. It was investigated, the police brought someone and evidence to a prosecutor, a prosecutor brought it to court, and a jury decided the charges didn’t fit the evidence to bring forward to a criminal trial. That is all we really know.

Either way I hope we all get to a place where we can live as and present as whatever we wish whenever we wish.
Hear, hear - the sooner the better!
- Comment on Anon's best friend is a repper 2 weeks ago:
but the idea that doing something gender nonconforming signals that you’re trans is not correct and in my experience not a widely popular belief among young people.
I think you are in a very progressive area, and don’t often see the parts that are not.
I took that as them saying many can’t express themselves just like in the op post. That many who are in those younger groups are still stuck in those boxes. They don’t feel exploring would be safe, so they stay in those neat little boxes.
I did not, in any way, read that as remotely to the right.
Again, thats my take. I think it may be good to go back and re-read without assuming that the argument you’re reading is the one they are making, because to me it reads very differently, especially with that last line:
There’s no reason to make those feminine traits though. Real liberation means we ditch the whole thing.
Thats pretty different from “tomboys are a thing”, IMO. Not trying to create an argument here, btw, just saying the signals may have been mixed up and you’re on the same side.
- Comment on Anon's best friend is a repper 2 weeks ago:
I read their comment as…
And as Millennials/Zs/As are umshackled,
And
“Boomers+ and Generation X groups were more likely to identify as trans women compared to the younger generational cohorts, who were more varied in their identities.”
Are not the same. There may be quite a bit more exploration of gender identity today, but many, many, many are still in areas or situations where such exploration would be dangerous.
As in, not unshackled, just a bit more free for some.

Since I have to deal with an older system that has not yet been replaced (and isn’t slated to be for a variety of reasons), combined with some security requirements that the clients IT team had put into place…
I still have blank CDs and have burned them relatively recently. Probably will be doing so again in about 2 months…
- Comment on Love this 1 month ago:
Propylene glycol and vegetable glycerol, which is what I said in the comment you replied to.
They are not oils.
- Comment on Love this 1 month ago:
I think you’re misunderstanding - weed vapes can use oil (and more, such as dry flower), but nic vapes are not oil based.
So only weed vapes would use an oil. Not that weed vapes are exclusively oil. Based on your reply I am assuming thats what’s being confused here.
- Comment on Love this 1 month ago:
Salt nic is not exclusive to Juul, and only weed vapes use an oil. Vape juice is propylene glycol and vegetable glycerol with flavoring and nicotine.
(Source here is me, went to vapes to successfully quit smoking back when there was more threading than a 510, when mods were a milled tube and a button or flashlight guts, with an rca connector on top so you could switch between different thread types. It sucks what its become, it was really helpful for me to quit nicotine completelt by having a vape.)

I’d really recommend taking your own advice and actually reading the thread you are commenting in. Holy shit.

What strawman? Dude this is the entire basis of this comment thread. What the fuck are you talking about?
- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 1 month ago:
Ah, yes, because everyone is provided a PC by their employer.
There aren’t self employed people or anything who maybe require a specific piece of software to get paid.
But what does it have to do with it? Its the entire thread dude, what are you talking about?
- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 1 month ago:
The only part that matters is detection.
Whether that detection is accurate or not is irrelevant.
- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 1 month ago:
On the same basis as Ninte do, it wouldn’t matter if they are or are not, if their “detection” determines ita against terms, then its against terms.
False positives happen all the time.

Only thing I care about is the quality.
I could not possibly care less about a brand name other than (in some situations) it being an indicator of quality. Which also tends to drop over time.
I’d absolutely buy direct from China. Wouldn’t be the first time for me. The only question is whether these are quality products or not.

There is no curb on many of these streets to go onto, there are bollards to protect pedestrians preventing that.
Its a design problem combined with a congestion problem, that was the reason for the congestion relief toll.
