sheep, goats, dogs

Yes, very effective. I worked in commercial construction for a few years.

We didn’t use paint, but the gist is the same. A black EPDM roof may reflect about 5% of incident irradiance and a white TPO roof reflects about 80% which means that a white TPO roof reflects 16x more light than a black EPDM roof and the black roof absorbs 4.75x more than the white.

This means white is easier to cool in the summer and black is may be easier to heat in the winter, but the amount of sun in the winter is less so its not like 1:1.

I’ve been using this for years, love it

Holla!

Happy new wheel day! Love that color

and there’s people at home

Quitting drinking

Daysaver! Never saw that before, its right up my alley. I’ll save up some scratch and replace that combination allen

Post programming questions online and you’ll inevitably get someone saying, “don’t reinvent the wheel.” Why is it so bad to step outside the box?

Am I reinventing the wheel when I use ext4 as a key value store instead of Redis? Or a sorted fixed-width binary file to lookup a relation instead of Sqlite?

I think for answering programming questions, the default answers are like a one-size fits all t-shirt. Yeah, they will always cover you up… but usually not “optimal.” Why is that? I think its because these are common solutions that everyone understands even though there are many ways to skin a cat.

It definitely leads to cargo culting.

Add stuff and flavor. When it comes to ramen, more is more.

I usually use some combination of these:

Stuff:

• Softboiled egg
• Onion, Carrot, Veg
• Pork/Chicken/White meat
• Sardines/Fish

Flavor:

• Lemon joose
• Honey
• Worchestershire
• Fish sauce

Really anything that’s fresh from the grocery store can be cooked and added.

An 18-year-old man driving a white Nissan Pathfinder northbound on Bathurst Street lost control and mounted the curb near Lonsmount Drive, striking the woman who was walking on the sidewalk, police said.

This is a residential area with a posted speed of 40kph. Losing control doesn’t make sense.

It’s also examining one’s own personal consumption patterns. The more one engages with it, the more exposure he or she has.

Okay, someone is being dramatic. Every neighborhood has access to and from it.

The best way to improve Ottawa…

It’s not something obvious like:

• streamlining permitting for small business
• expand mixed use building zones
• reduce parking minimums for new housing development

They’re saying the BEST thing to do is to make parking free?

Thank you for your service

Yeah, great question. This was something I deliberated about a lot. In the end, the decision to require a $0 payment to access the free plan came down to two things: 1) mitigating exposure to Sybil attacks and 2) minimizing operational burden on me. I think it could be revisited in the future and with my current budget, this is what I came up with.

Regardless, thank you for taking a look and providing feedback. I really appreciate the comment and it’ll help me navigate the path forward for that project.

I had one the other day, first in like 25 years. It was terrible! : )

Chainsaw?? That’s a first, never heard that before.

To be fair, there’s been a few times in my travels where I’ve thought… I need machete rn and maybe a similar feeling took a hold of you. Vrrrnn Vrnnnnnn

It’s kinda weird to see a city experience traffic violence, have a vote to mitigate a high risk route, and then have the vote pass unanimously. I feel like it should work that way, but its refreshing to see it happen.

Welcome aboard!
