Gen Z already has some belief that Millennials did nothing but complain. No/not enough progress was made for all the protesting millennials cried for. It looks like Z is going the X apathetic route.

The weight-per-unit-area of a shingle is dwarfed by the amount of snow it takes to affect a roof.

These shingles weight 1.8lbs per square foot when installed (3 packs for 99.9sqft at 62lbs per pack). Call it 2lbs/sqft with nails. Ice (the densest form of “snow” weighs 57lbs per cubic foot. 57 divided by 2 gives us a factor of 28.5 to divide into 1ft (the height of 1 cubic foot) to find that a 1/2" layer of ice weighs more than shingles per square foot. I’m not going to worry about the weight of shingles.

Yeah, they’re not going to suddenly gain $50k+ cash for a down-payment to replace their home. Yes, a mortgage should be cheaper than rent but a renter probably can’t save an extra 3 year’s worth of rent to put it down.

I’m curious how this is playing out. A fair number of details are present on the game’s item already. The barrel stripe, the upside-down spade with a circular element, and the barrel spade.

That’s not to deny the direct copy of this specific design, but rather ask how much can an independent artist claim on what appears to already largely part of what already exists within the game’s IP.

That being said, the reddit thread where the artist posted this originally has an edit stating Bungie reached out, handled it well, and will be sharing details later.

You can hear the silent majority screaming form the rooftops

The non-monospace font control code is set to recenter the double-digit readout starting at 9 because it’s a computer thing to start all counts at 0 instead of 1 and I know just enough about “off by one” errors to 100% assume this with no actual experience.

But, for science, does 20 center itself differently than 10 and, if so, does 19 actually match 20?

Huh, I see ads and banners and signs all the time. I guess I should have guessed the only non-governmental propaganda machines that big are religious cults.

No, they don’t lie. Only truth. And don’t forget, your carbon footprint is a tiny blip compared to wild majestic tanker and container ships traversing the seas. Those dirty beasts can’t be stopped and you have absolutely no part in their existence. You don’t need to shop local, isn’t life expensive enough? And if you can afford your fuel, burn it if you got it.

In other words, BP says oil use will drop next year. Don’t worry about it today and don’t try to change anything. It will be OK soon.

OK Google: how to use proper grammar for a question?

That was a popular distinction maybe 20 years ago, but the line is fuzzed and functionally, the term “crossover (CUV) is dead. But, like all terms automotive, it’s just marketing.” Crossover" seemed friendlier to women to get them to drive tall cars. Now everything is classed as a [size] suv. Some classic suv examples were always unibody like the jeep Cherokee. Edit: I see now your other comment touches on offroad capability. So does a 2wd “suv” (by your definition) then get declassified? Does a body-on-frame tall wagon with viscous coupling awd get declassified?

And no (takes a deep breath to survive an emotional down vote onslaught), there is no legal difference between 4x4, 4wd, or awd. A manufacturer can choose any term to apply to any type of 4-wheel locomotion. Every definitive trait has some counter example that still counts because people “feel” it’s good enough.

I will NOT be attending, so I’m on the list. I can’t go, but I won’t be going, either, as I neither have an invitation nor the means to do so.

It’s the same 10 pieces on the top of the pile for weeks. Everyone is reaching for the pieces under. As long as it’s not 2x2PT

2x2PT has been 1.25x1.25 for as long as I can remember (10 years or more). It’s only the pressure treated deck stuff for railings. This does not apply to the rest of the 2x lumber, as those are still 1.5 actual. I got Simpson corner 2x2 brackets for crazy cheap way back but ended up not really using them. The 2x2s are warped to hell and a ripped 2x4 was too big in the original 2x dimension.

I usually bring my 9ft magnetic tape from my car’s ceiling and my 4" brass fractional caliper from the glove box into the store but always end up prowling the lumber section for the loose tape measures. Wouldn’t want to look like I’m stealing, right?

Your info was probably already out there, somewhere. It’s most likely in a massive list with thousands of others. It’s still not great, but you’re not being targeted. This is why it’s important to freeze your credit with each bureau.

Just another reminder that using your SSN for ID verification purposes and acting like it’s a secret code only you could ever know is a dumb fucking system. Even the “verify with your last 4 digits” is a dumb fucking system. If you have a date of birth and a decent idea of birthplace, you can take a pretty good guess about the first 5 digits because they’re sequential from known blocks. It wasn’t until about 20 years ago that the government randomized the first 5 to stop that.

Discover offers monitoring. How are you so sure it’s phishing? An abundance of caution and logging in directly is certainly a safe route to verify, but convincing OP this is phishing and that the graphics are risky is unnecessarily alarming

I checked the noaa cloud cover forecast 7 days prior, 2 days, 1 day, 12 hours… My friends in Rochester, NY (pretty sure) got clouded out but Burlington VT had a mild hazy layer of clouds that still offered full view. It blurred some of the corona. I hope you still got to experience that sudden darkness, maybe watch the shadow drift across the cloud layer too.

You took the initiative to find clear skies. Nothing useless about it unless you wanted to take a guess where the cloud opening would be at that exact time at home
