Please be more patient :) Replying to posts you didn't read will not help us, definitely.

No we're not. That poster pointed out how fire codes helped, but that most codes do not. We're talking about building codes.
>But fair, let's talk about lumber stamps. How much weight can a random hunk of wood support? Under what conditions? Do you know?
None of those things have anything at all to do with stamps. That's the point. If the code specified lumber by strength it would be fine. But it specifies lumber by "you have to buy it from an approved member of the lumber cartel" and makes absolutely no mention of strength.
>Probably not, different ways wood can be treated
Building lumber is not treated. If you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, why throw out random nonsense?
> But it's quite the reach to go from there to "Nah, let's get rid of them, they're in our way! Common sense will do just fine!"
Nobody suggested that. Responding to silly strawman arguments is not constructive.
That is the building code. It is all about stickers and stamps. Why is a tree that grew on my land that I cut myself not acceptable? It has nothing to do with the wood obviously, it has to do with creating make work jobs for bureaucrats to "inspect" and stamp lumber.
No it isn't. The entire purpose of the GPL is to restrict the freedom of the users. Public domain gives freedom to the users. Everything else adds restrictions. And it is all a big argument about which restrictions are "good" in the eyes of the people arguing.
At absurd prices though. It isn't just the shipping, small scale farm/market garden stuff is priced ridiculously high.
If they had to then they would. Since they do not, obviously they do not have to. Very few farmers of any sort know much of anything about agriculture other than cargo cult knowledge that is largely misguided or inaccurate.
"When that time comes that you need to touch up the sharp edge of your Wusthof knife the 10" steel is a good option. The Wusthof 10" inch steel can realign your knife edge quickly and easily. Honing steels are often confused as sharpeners. Your honing steel will realaign your knife edge but will not put a new edge on it. In trying to explain what a honing steel does try to imaging your sharpening steel and your toothbrush. It is a maintaince tool that you use everyday. In the case of your knife this would be maintaining the knifes edge. Now eventually you would need to see your dentist. That would be a sharpener. This would be a more detailed and agressive action and they would actually remove metal from the edge of the knife. Much like a dentist would do to your teeth. Now to maintain healthy teeth you brush everyday. To maintain a sharp knife you should steel your knife everyday. And remember only go to the Dentist(sharpener) once or twice a year."
What? I read what I find interesting, and respond if I have something to say. Your assessment of my use of the site makes it very clear that you are not succeeding in "suspend(ing) your political reflexes and consider(ing) other explanations".
He said that over 6 months ago, that's not backtracking.
>unless you campaigned a lot to get more people to the polls in the Dem primary to vote for Bernie.
That would not have changed anything. There was no primary election, it was rigged. Perhaps try reading those leaked emails the media was telling you not to read.
Which is both a foolish assumption and completely off-topic and irrelevant. Even in the NE, millions of people voted for Trump. And millions more didn't vote for him, but are not so blinded by their little bubble of hate that they "felt genuinely ill" over their preferred candidate losing an election.
>So if you're in a discussion about cultural differences between USNE and USMW, that's an entirely valid point.
We're in a discussion about diamonds.
The subject is entirely irrelevant. You just bring it up to virtue signal, despite the fact that even in your best case scenario, 30% of the people you are assuming would want an apology are people who voted for Trump.
Why on earth do you think that sort of random political non-sequitur is appropriate?
I know this is going to sound snarky, but I really am genuinely asking: why? They have a history of very blatantly pushing their political agenda, most people seem to acknowledge that NPR is pretty left leaning. This doesn't seem out of place for them at all.
