And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Illegal in California (water flow is too high for the Karens), if you can believe that.
Something else that "cannot be shipped to your address" in California is a 2 in 1 or 'Dolmar' jug. It's a small plastic jug with separate compartments for chainsaw mix and bar oil. These jugs have been determined by the State of California to be hazardous to Mother Gaia.
The interesting thing is that if you look closely every CalFire and Forest Service hand crew that packs a saw while fighting wildfires here is also packing a 2 in 1 jug. Funny how that works.
One of my buddies is a plumber/pipefitter. Whenever he has to travel to a place like California, he takes his needle-nose pliers and removes the flow-restricter in the head of the shower.
The companies that make stuff like shower-heads do not have separate assembly lines or tooling to make "California Compliant" plumbing parts. They jam a washer with a small orifice into the part, typically just downline of the rubber gasket that seals the unit when it is screwed to the end of the flexible line.
He feels righteous about getting a REAL shower and suspects that none of the people who use the hotel room after him complain.
My home is out on the prairie to the north and east of Colorado Springs. We are on a well that has so little water pressure that this contraption would never work.
There's a little gray box close to your well pump with contact switches in it. You can pull the cover and use a 7/16" socket to alter the contacts and get more pressure.

DeleteThanks for the suggestion. I am one of the world's worst mechanical people. I would somehow totally f*ck up that procedure.
DeleteQuestion Authority.
ReplyDeleteWhy the fuck would anyone live in a state that regulates what kind of shower head you can install in your own home?
ReplyDeleteDon't look now, but you live in a country that regulates what kind of toilet you can install in your own home.
DeleteCalif is full of soy boys and queers. You seems to know a lot about what is legal and not there.
