For that to be statistically true, there would have to be as many Muslim extremists in the US as there are right wing extremists, which I find unlikely. There are more right wing extremist killings merely because there are more of them.

Poor management not climate change partly responsible for CA fires

Americans won't do that work. We need more immigrants (perhaps seasonal). -

The increase in standard deduction is mostly offset by the loss of $4050 per person personal exemption, and for families of 4 the total deduction (4 exemptions plus standard deduction) seems to be a loss for those that were taking the standard deduction before. With the cap on deduction of state taxes, I will probably not be itemizing except in years where medical expense or charitable donations make it worthwhile.. Both of us are retired, and we show under $100k of income on a joint return, so I don't expect to pay any federal taxes anyway until my wife starts drawing SSI, or we have to take minimum IRA distributions.

There used to be another poster that would post up very insightful posts on the CA propositions and discussion, but she has long moved on. I am grateful for something posted up, even though I may disagree with some of it. Not so much interest for out-of-staters, but there are numerous CA readers here.

I had permits and used licensed plumbers and electricians. You are likely more meticulous than many plumbers, but I have not been consistently impressed by the pro plumbers. I decided to change out some faucets that had just been installed for another finish that looked better, and found that the plumber had reversed the order a metal washer/rubber seal on both faucets -- it wasn't leaking and may never have leaked, but it wasn't right. Obviously, I read the instructions and did it correctly when I swapped them out. The pro plumbers did not measure the temperature limit settings at all on the showers (maybe with their finger), so I set them up myself to manufacturers specifications. Where I live in urban California, DIYers can pull permits and do pretty much every type of house construction work themselves. There might be some specialty stuff that they cannot do, but pretty much all typical residential electrical, plumbing, framing, roofing, foundation, etc. is okay. What they cannot legally do is pull permits and then hire some unlicensed "plumber" or "electrician" or handyman to do the work, or do the work themselves without the required permits. I personally probably wouldn't hesitate to do minor stuff without permits (e.g., add electrical receptacle), but I know when such things are done correctly, and have good judgement to know when I don't have the knowledge.

"402.2 Joints Where a fixture comes in contact with the wall or floor, the joint between the fixture and the wall or floor shall be made watertight." In my opinion, the wax seal should cover that. OTOH, the contact with the floor is only around the periphery of the base. I agree with you that sealing around the base can cause problems, e.g. by hiding a leaking wax seal, allowing undetected structure damage. Maybe the interpretation varies with the inspector -- I've only questioned two, in two different counties, and they both required it.
-
It IS a code requirement in San Jose, CA and Alpine County, CA. Those are the only places I've installed toilets, and inspectors will not pass the installation if it is not sealed, 100% of the periphery. I personally think that the requirement makes no sense, although a thin, neat job with caulk that matches the toilet looks good. If matching caulk isn't an option, a very narrow bead of clear silicone is essentially invisible.

Sealing around the toilet base is required by code in many locations. I might not do it, were I not having an inspection . I prefer not to seal along the back of the base, so that a leak of the wax seal would become evident before it damaged the subfloor . Electrical- two trips to the store. Plumbing-three trips to the store. I had a plumbing contractor make four separate mistakes , just installing the trim around the shower control . One of those guys who's been doing it that way for 20 years, and is going to assume that he knows what he's doing without reading the instructions for a brand he is not familiar with .

Brett Kavanaugh, how to get a SC Nomination
headoverheels replied to Phil1111's topic in Speakers Corner
While it's nice that you acknowledge that much, some of your earlier posts leave the impression that you feel that there is a possibility of some basis in fact around the "pizza gate" bundle of lies. Do you now agree that the whole thing was a falsehood? No Do you subscribe to the whole conspiracy? Do you think there may be nuggets of truth here and there? Or do you just think Leftists are evil so there must be something to it? I'm just trying to understand the rationale behind somebody getting on this bandwagon. I go with nuggets of truth. Like what? What nuggets are we talking about? nuggets == dingleberries -
