Police don’t make that distinction unfortunately. The disorderly conduct statute looks pretty broad, its likely it’s used largely as a tool to force compliance.

That’s the beauty of free will. Everyone has different preferences and tastes and can apply those in their own home.

Remember, judging others doesn’t define who they are, it defines who you are.

Same. I’ve never been a steak fan. I’d rather have a piece of chicken or a pork chop than a steak. If it’s gonna be beef grind it up and patty it.

I’ve never understood this trope that real men love steak. Different people have different tastes and preferences and it doesn’t make them less than.

There are also people who have “house shoes” which may be slippers or actual shoes that they only wear around the house.

I don’t know how common it is.

Americans largely prefer shoes off in their home. Though they often don’t require it if guests.

70% of Americans prefer a shoes-off household. Yet fewer than half, 44%, say they will actually ask their guests to remove their shoes.

Sorry, I phrased that weirdly.

Japan produces ~7.4 million tons of rice annually.

Japan self sustains its rice needs with only ~7 million tons is distributed domestically.

They also already have a waste repurpose project that eliminates ~2 million tons of their husk waste.

I thought about setting up my own personal instance, but I didn’t want to have to deal moderate any CSAM.

This is true in the US too. In fact:

Most packaged consumer goods in the U.S. must carry dual labeling, which includes both metric and customary measurements.

After looking at the Philadelphia statute for disorderly conduct I’m assuming it’s based off this:

Obstructing a Highway or other Public Passage. No person shall, without legal privilege to do so, intentionally or recklessly obstruct a highway, sidewalk, or other public passage.

Japan produces a lot of rice but only ~7 million tons is distributed domestically.

Country and Annual Rice Husk Production (Approximate)

• China - 200 million tons
• India - 180 million tons
• Indonesia - 40 million tons
• Vietnam - 30 million tons
• Thailand - 20 million tons
• Bangladesh - 15 million tons
• Myanmar - 10 million tons
• United States - 9 million tons

Perfect is the enemy of good (enough).

I appreciate that’s literally the first site that comes up when you DDG “why are us houses made of wood” but it’s credibility is… lacking (and I’ll confess, I’m quite content having an answer that differs from the one given on an AI generated slop site.)

You really don’t take a disagreement well. Don’t worry, it won’t happen from me again because I block anybody so fragile they respond like you did. But first:

~1/7 the population

Is that not smaller than 6/7?

~1/5 the landmass

Is that not smaller than 4/5?

I disagree on the subjective meaning of a very small portion but I guess we’ll just have to disagree.

the big factor for most of the country is that stone houses fall down in earthquakes and are very sensitive to soil erosion, floods, etc.

I think you’re overstating it a bit. Those are considerations for a very small portion of the country, and in fact changes in building code to be less strict on materials made brick/stone no longer a requirement.

It’s primarily material availability. Milwaukee is a great example of the early availability of brick and its prevalence in construction until availability and cost, among other factors, drove the change to wood frame construction.

The east cost cities are good examples too. Boston, Philadelphia, New York all have a lot of brick due to the brickworks and availability but the farther west you go the less you see. This is, in a large part, because it’s expensive to transport brick/stone, especially when there’s an abundance of building material to harvest and use in the form of wood.

I would agree in modern times though it’s largely cost and climate that drive building material in the US and wood is not only suitable and cheaper, it’s also more flexible to build with.

Swedish?

Just build houses of stone

The US did build houses out of stone, where it made sense. Many places don’t have easy access to stone for building, however 1/3 of the country is forested. Wood is available, economical and suitable for building single family homes in much of the country.

Europe even has got some that are 1000 years old.

And the US has Fairbanks House which is older than the country itself.

Cost of housing ≠ cost of living.

Also, hmmm.

Hmmm

Or there are well educated Gen Z people from blue states who are moving to where to CoL is lower because the economy and job market have been royally fucked by the generations before them?

Or maybe, and far more likely, both are true among other reasons.
