Default Troll-feeding Senile Yanks Alert!

On Mon, 14 May 2018 08:40:24 -0400, Ed Pawlowski, the notorious,
troll-feeding Yankietard, blathered again:


But how many whites have been killed in Chicago?


4.8% are white/other
Statistic on race is on the left, about half way down

"Jackass"? Must be your homepage, Yankietard! BG

On Mon, 14 May 2018 10:30:02 -0600, lowbrowman, the endlessly driveling
senile idiot, blabbered again:

But how many whites have been killed in Chicago?


Over the years it runs about 4% of the total body count.


Another troll-feeding Yankietard has answered his question already,
lowbrowman! Or are you afraid the Scot won't let you suck him off, if
you miss out feeding him, you senile oaf?

The local landfill to me (still in operation) has new houses being built next to it. Who the **** lives there? There must be a lot of people with no sense of smell.


Most people are smart enough not to buy a house next to a landfill but
I would not be surprised if they do develop it. A clue is when you see

I am aware of the basement thing but a lot of them still have water
problems. You are right, a basement here is going to be an indoor
pool. You can dig a well with a post hole digger. It is just nasty
water.
Most of those "bedrooms" are illegal since they don't have proper
egress. The "window well" in a basement does not provide enough clear
space to call that an egress so you need a door to the outside in the
bedroom(s)..

What's wrong with going through the door you entered? My normal bedroom has a window, but it's only the top bit that opens, so I can't leave through it without violently smashing toughened double glazing with a heavy object I don't have in the bedroom. But then I'm not a pessimist and don't require two forms of exit.

It is all about what happens if the house is on fire and you wake up
in a room full of smoke. They don't want you to have to go towards the
fire. You certainly don't want to be trapped in the basement if the
fire is upstairs.

Well in my standard bedroom on the 1st (USA) or ground (UK) floor, I can still only get out of the door. The window only opens at the top. And anyone with a 2 storey house who sleeps upstairs has the same problem. Unless someone provided a ladder for you to climb down, you're ****ed.

They sell the hell out of these

I don't know anyone in the UK with one of those. Maybe Americans are stupid, sorry stoopid, and set more fire in their own homes?


Maybe they are just easier to scare.



Mabee they just value their lives more and think beyond the end of
their noses???

Fire truck will have a ladder. If the fire is forcing me out though,
I'd jump and risk a broken leg rather than burn to death.


A tip is to hang from the window sill. It gets you closer to the ground.

A smoke detector is better. Protect lives and property; in that order.

The people that write the building code are pessimists. If the fire is
right outside your bedroom you need a second way out.

Which people don't have in non-basements anyway, as most fit burglar proof windows you can't fit through.


I don't know what kind of hellhole you live in, but we've just got ordinary
double-hung glass windows. Mine are only double-pane, but I don't consider
my house is very expensive to heat so there's no incentive to replace them
with more energy-efficient windows.

No, SOME of them are illegal - but many if not most have proper
egress. Does not need to be IN the bedroom, but needs to be easily
accessible from the bedroom. Bedrooms DO require minimum window area
based on floor area though.

The "window" in a bedroom is all about egress. (at least in the US 1&2
family building codes) It is called an "Emergency escape and rescue
opening".

Canadian code requires light AND egress - but in a situation where
it is not a rental unit, only 2 exits are required in an average sized
basement - one of which MUST be direct - either a door or "egress
window". If it is a separate living area the rules change and at
least in Waterloo egress is required from each bedroom. You can NOT
have a bedroom without a window, and the size of the window, if not
egress, is dictated by the floor area of the room - or to put it
another way, if you are adding a bedroom in a basement it's size is
limited by the size of the existing window unless you are willing to
enlarge it.


I can understand wanting to escape, but why on earth do you have a law about the amount of light?! Most people have their eyes shut in the bedroom!


Are you comparing "most" people to wanting to look a you? Do the flaps on
your tent close that tight?

That's a different can of worms... Unlike Islam Judaism never set out to

Instances of conversion are relatively rare. What race would you assign

If there's a fire, it wakes me up as it's harder to breathe. To me a smoke alarm is to warn me to stop it burning down a part of the house I'm not in, or killing a pet, which is why mine are linked and all sound at once.

What's wrong with going through the door you entered? My normal bedroom
has a window, but it's only the top bit that opens, so I can't leave
through it without violently smashing toughened double glazing with a
heavy object I don't have in the bedroom. But then I'm not a pessimist
and don't require two forms of exit.


The people that write the building code are pessimists. If the fire is
right outside your bedroom you need a second way out.

Which people don't have in non-basements anyway, as most fit burglar proof windows you can't fit through.


I don't know what kind of hellhole you live in, but we've just got ordinary
double-hung glass windows. Mine are only double-pane, but I don't consider
my house is very expensive to heat so there's no incentive to replace them
with more energy-efficient windows.

I have two doors, although I know of neighbours with only one door on the side of the house. You'd think that would fail some regulation or other.

"On Slab" works good in Florida where anything resembling a basement

Furnace in the attic? Not up here. It's in the "basement" - generally
along with laundry and a "rec room" - often an additional bathroom,-
and sometimes even a bedroom or 2.

I am aware of the basement thing but a lot of them still have water
problems. You are right, a basement here is going to be an indoor
pool. You can dig a well with a post hole digger. It is just nasty
water.
Most of those "bedrooms" are illegal since they don't have proper
egress. The "window well" in a basement does not provide enough clear
space to call that an egress so you need a door to the outside in the

No, SOME of them are illegal - but many if not most have proper
egress. Does not need to be IN the bedroom, but needs to be easily
accessible from the bedroom. Bedrooms DO require minimum window area
based on floor area though.

The "window" in a bedroom is all about egress. (at least in the US 1&2
family building codes) It is called an "Emergency escape and rescue
opening".
Canadian code requires light AND egress - but in a situation where
it is not a rental unit, only 2 exits are required in an average sized
basement - one of which MUST be direct - either a door or "egress
window". If it is a separate living area the rules change and at
least in Waterloo egress is required from each bedroom. You can NOT
have a bedroom without a window, and the size of the window, if not
egress, is dictated by the floor area of the room - or to put it
another way, if you are adding a bedroom in a basement it's size is
limited by the size of the existing window unless you are willing to
enlarge it.


I can understand wanting to escape, but why on earth do you have a law about the amount of light?! Most people have their eyes shut in the bedroom!


Are you comparing "most" people to wanting to look a you? Do the flaps on
your tent close that tight?


Why do you need natural light in a room you sleep in?

The most water around herein Scotland is due to a snow melt.


The local river has beat the 100 year record for the flood stage. It's
been rainy but that is mostly due to snow melt from warmer temperatures..

The high water happens every year in May through early June; it just
happens to be a little higher this year. There are a few houses that are
flooded but they get flooded almost every year too. When I was a kid we
lived on a creek and the cellar flooded every spring. Never really hurt
anything unless you left your toys on the cellar floor. For that matter
the toy pirate ship worked just fine.


People should check water levels before building or buying houses. I had two choices when I moved here 18 years ago. The other was next to a river and only a foot above it. Funnily enough a colleague of mine bought a house in the same street, he said his garden gets flooded with a few inches of water every time there's heavy rain. I'm glad I had more sense than him.

My family home on the farm is built into the side of a mountain. There are two natural springs on the property. One of the springs was dug out to create a 2,000gal reservoir where there is a pump sending water to the house. My father wanted to build the house on top of the mountain but my mother wouldn't let him because of all the small children in the family at the time back in the middle of the last century. The house is 100 yards downslope from the top which is the highest point(Lookoff Rock) in the area. You can walk up to Lookoff Rock and from there see the largest city in the county which is 15 miles away. The view of the valleys from the bluff is spectacular especially in the fall when the leaves on the trees change from green to every color you can think of. If I was in better health and could walk, I'd move back to the farm. The quarter-mile-long driveway up the side of the mountain would be problematic for me. ^_^

Most Jews are caucasian, tracing their heritage to eastern and western

The highest point in Florida is 345' above sea level and it's up on the

Heck, I knew Alabama was holding Florida's head above water. ^_^

I went looking for that mountain peak before GPS's were around, never
could find it. There are a lot of little hills in that part of Alabama
and Florida. It's someplace around Florala. I do believe I've walked up
Cheaha. At least the Talledegas are real mountains.
Britton Hill in Walton County is the "high point" - up in the
panhandle. Down in the peninsula its around Lake Wales -"Sugarloaf
Mountain" at about 312 feet. About the diffference in elevation
between the Freeport Bridge at the west end of Kitchener Cedar Hill, a
few miles to the North East.

Our local little ski hill, Chicopee, has a greater vertical drop than
the total hight above sea level of Britton Hill!!!

The highest point in Lee County is the landfill. It used to be Mound
Key, the Calusa Indian landfill 500 years ago.

The local landfill to me (still in operation) has new houses being built next to it. Who the **** lives there? There must be a lot of people with no sense of smell.


Most people are smart enough not to buy a house next to a landfill but
I would not be surprised if they do develop it. A clue is when you see
sea gulls in your yard and you are 15 miles from the beach.


I had a friend (really) whom his father & I dug a hole for tree. About 6"
down we were hitting cans, glass, trash, etc. No smell. No bodies either;(


I know a guy who makes beer money digging up old bottles. You don't
want a contemporary land fill but if you find one that is ~100 years
old, there will be bottles in there that collectors will pay big bucks
for in antique shops.

flicker to out of control in minutes.
