Those all sound lovely and low effort, I’ll have to try them out, thanks!
I do have a bag of protein powder collecting dust on top of my fridge. I think I’ll give it a shot, thanks!
My partner taught me how to cook and now relies on me to be the family chef haha. She’s chronically ill and already working full time to help keep a roof over our heads while I axe my overtime for school. Safe to say she’s more spent than I am at the end of her shift
I was relying on sandwiches for a while there and made myself sick of them haha. It’s been a few months though, I may have to give it another shot
BarrelAgedBoredom@lemmy.zipto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•anons brother has some strong opinions3·4 days agoMost modern flat roofs (at least in my neck of the woods) aren’t actually flat. They’re at an incredibly shallow pitch. In residential applications (after underlayment) we use high density foam slats that get put together in a grid formation, each piece gets slightly narrower on one end until they can properly fit under a piece of bird stop around the fascia. Before the bird stop goes on, the foam is sealed with a waterproof self adhering material that comes in huge rolls. When properly installed, they can last 15-30 years. Just as long, if not longer, than any shingle roof. There’s also high density polyurethane foam flat roofs that can be sealed and are able to last up to 50 years. Many commercial operations use these methods as well as hot tar mopping, which can basically last forever. The one drawback to flat roofs is load bearing difficulties in places that snow. I don’t know much about that but seeing as flat roofs are everywhere in the north too, it must not be too difficult to work around.
Don’t get me wrong, I love a good tile roof too, but there’s plenty of beautiful structures with flat roofs out there. And tile has considerable draw backs as well. Tile is incredibly heavy, they’re very fragile, they’re ludicrously expensive, and they’re expensive to maintain.
On the rain, no roofer is working in the rain, and tile roofs are vulnerable to rain during construction too. When it’s down to the plywood, you’re as likely to have rain troubles as any other roof. You can lay shingles and foam for flat roofs when you’re dried in too, but no one will if it’s more than a drizzle. Tile becomes an active danger in the rain because most tiles get really slippery in the rain
Replacing broken tiles is a bitch and a half, you have to carefully dance between tile joints and one slip of your foot (which is likely during repairs because tiles are slick and can become moldy/slimy when not maintained properly) you’re likely to break another tile, leading to more work and more chances of another broken tile. Even the process of removing a broken tile can break the tiles surrounding it
Tile in general is really finicky, high maintenance, and requires unique tools, methods, and skilled laborers that are capable of doing the work. That is by no means a bad thing but it’s really easy to get a flat roof that does the job perfectly fine. Tile, not so much

Now that’s my kind of party
It’s also just a lie. Conservatives are constantly in a crabs-in-a-bucket-esque power struggle. The only thing ensuring cohesion on the right is the cult of personality surrounding trump. They all want their particular flavor of oppression to be the one at the top and are happy to stab eachother in the back as soon as the opportunity arises.
Left unity is similarly a myth. The left is full of diverse ideologies, many of which are fundamentally incompatible with one another. We’ve already tried the “left unity” thing before, it lead to the Bolsheviks purging anarchists the second they had the chance, and there’s no reason to believe that left unity would play out any differently nowadays. And while I’m at it, liberals are center right at best and “leftists” should stop concerning themselves so much with what libs think about our politics

First, “make it 0!” - * Number *! As a “surprise factorial” (as seen in comments in this very thread making this exact joke) is a common joke in threads like this and that was the only connection I could make for this meme, having no previously knowledge of binary quirks.
Second, I don’t know if you were trying to be a dick or you’re just some overly wordy ass clown high on your own farts, but how on earth is me explaining what I thought a joke meant, showing why it didn’t work, and then asking for help to understand it vacuous?
