Interesting: The compelling argument to conservative building officials was that the IBC needs to accept this or they will lose control of the code to local and state legislators. I can sympathize. But most BOs hear that as a warning because their leaders hear it as a threat. Hmm.
SINGLE STAIR FANS: Congratulations to @stephenjacobsmith.com for clearing hurdle 3 (of 4) with his proposal E24 to expand the IBC's allowance for single stair. Don't want to count any chickens, but unless fire officials mount a nationwide "Stop E24" campaign, this should be in the 2027 IBC. 1/2
idk. As if the R party is going to run out of conspiracy-minded bar passers? At some point this becomes part of the strategy, like sending in bench players to foul out.
Some of them lose their licenses, some of them become judges.
Kavanaugh and the R-majority Senate paved this road.

PUBLIC HEALTH NOTICE: To avoid heart attacks and aneurysms, tell your elderly relatives about this ASAP.
(Personally, I'm gonna wait for just a little steam to come out of Mom's ears, for science.)
Looking forward to the epidemiology conference.
David Brooks musta called in to remind them that Italian words are elitist.

IANAL, but to anyone involved in design or construction, this sure reads like simple bad faith abuse of the law and the courts.
WH now has 7 weeks clear to keep flouting the ruling. Hope they invite the 3-judge panel to the ribbon-cutting.
Mandatory programs work, even without federal grants. (Ahem, San José.)

darth you can still stay a Giants fan too (please).
I suspect you know this, but the Mets' colors are blue and orange as homage to the Dodgers and Giants, whom the Mets replaced in NY.
Tomorrow, Pete Hegseth's gonna call this a Royale with Cheese.
Maybe it's good news?

This is his brief for the forthcoming SCOTUS appeal.

Good to see judges getting fed up, but until someone goes to jail, this contempt is not going to stop -- on construction, on deportations, on boat-bombing, on anything. Here's his key mistake:
"I trust that Defendants will be able to implement my Amended Order in good faith ... "
yeah, but try their carbonara [chef's kiss emoji]
Yeah, I see the quote in the article about wind loads, but building officials should want to see the calcs behind that. Maybe SEIA* has already produced some templates.
*Disclosure: I like them. They hate me.

🔥 Fire doesn't follow a predictable schedule and neither should your prep.
Conditions this year are a reminder that preparation can't wait.

❄️ California's snowpack is at 10–20%, a new record low.
Snowpack is a slow-release water source. When it's low, moisture disappears faster and vegetation dries out weeks ahead of schedule.
Drier grass ignites faster. Fire moves through it faster.

this ... could make sense, given what we know about disparate impacts in non-pandemic healthcare?
Is there evidence supporting it?
Vought says multiple times in his defense, "We have not impounded anything." This is a lie.
One of the huge takeaways from yesterday and today is the Vought is not capable of directly defending his actions while being bound to the truth. When pushed, he almost always lies or pivots.
He's obviously reading my posts:

#Trump’s targeting of #ThePresidio is widely seen as a way to get back at #NancyPelosi, who led the effort to create the trust to manage the park. It has not received federal appropriations since 2013, instead paying for operations with revenue generated from leases & donations.
Re-posted this late yesterday and woke up to one of those "30+" notifications buttons.
Feelin' like Steph Curry.
