- Comment on anons brother has some strong opinions 1 day ago:
- It is lighter and cheaper, as you can use thinner materials. This is because pointy is a stronger shape than flat.
- It gives more interior space.
If you’re using lighter cheaper materials you’ll need all the added interior space for roof trusses, none of it will be livable space.
- It allows more sunlight to reach the street.
No, for the same amount of occupiable space the shorter flat roof blocks less light than a standard 10:12 or 12:12 roof
- It has a smaller area-to-volume-ratio through which heat can escape.
The greater surface area of a pitched roof means this is absolutely not true. The hypotenuse is always longer than either leg.
- Solar panels get a higher efficiency.
This one actually depends on latitude, equatorialy it’s better flat. And don’t forget that the minimum summer angle is limited by the pitched roof.
- If a city has the same height restrictions for flat roofed buildings as for pointy roofed buildings, and the architect is too lazy to go to the city council to explain to them that that doesn’t make sense, the architect can design a building with more volume by making the roof flat.
No it makes perfect sense. It goes back to your comment on letting sunlight through to the street. The maximum height is the maximum height so everyone gets the same amount of light.
In other words:
the only reason any architect would design a building with a flat roof is because they are either lazy or they have no idea what they are doing.this guy thinks their habitat is the only kind over the whole planet and can’t imagine people living in areas where snow load wouldn’t need to be considered. - Comment on Milliamp-hours per hour 3 days ago:
Similar to how EU efficiency labels show power draw in W as kWh per 1000h of use
That sounds nice for appliances that run intermittently like refrigerators
- Comment on Shit like this is why we need open source printers! 6 days ago:
Would you accept a printer that works like a typewriter with arms that strike the page to lay down text?
What about a 2d pen plotter? Not nearly as fast as an inkjet, but still open source
- Comment on Or at least I will when I find another FWB 😅 1 week ago:
Mermaids appear to be mammals based on the tail fin orientation, so it’d be similar to dolphins.

Genericide is a power held by the people, and we should use it more often.
- Comment on It's all a game for them and we are always the losers 1 week ago:
As I understand it, nothing is dismissed, it’s either approved or it’s ‘left to die in committee’ because anything that doesn’t make it out of committee by the end of session it dies and just be re submitted to the committee next session.
- Comment on It's all a game for them and we are always the losers 1 week ago:
Wouldn’t it have to be reproposed since it was still in committee at the end of last session?
- Comment on Aspergers officinalis 1 week ago:
Well it takes 2 years to grow, but the harvest is in the 3rd year, at least when I’ve done it. It’s a perennial with minimal maintenance aside from weeding & water
- Comment on Broccoli Blooms 1 week ago:
The sprouts actually taste better if you lightly blacken them, like asparagus. It’s one of the weird veggies where you go a little past maillard.
- Comment on Broccoli Blooms 1 week ago:
Huh, I’ve only heard bolting used when plants start flowering too early, before they’ve produced. Like lettuces or basil flowering before there are more than a couple leaves. Usually because they’re too crowded or otherwise stressed.
- Comment on Any Xbox 360 can now be hacked in less than one minute 1 week ago:
Pulled my 360 out of storage a couple years ago and it instantly red ringed when I tried to power on. Hopefully you have better luck
- Comment on California is debating whether or not to remove the bike lane on the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. During the public hearing, a politician was driving his car 1 week ago:
It’s probably on a hands free mount rolling at the camera angle.
However, it’s still illegal to have video playing within view of the driver, so he’s still breaking the law
- Comment on They don't make 'em like they used to 1 week ago:
It’s so unsafe with that un-flared base

I was just saying that during a hypothetical invasion by Trump it would be a choke point

If you’re still hungry after eating, then you’re starving yourself.
Or ghrelin insensitivity
- Comment on Anon goes on a diet 2 weeks ago:
It’s a “I’m not hungry, but having a tasty dinner or snacks to watch this show would be great” urge
The Japanese have a word for it: kuchisabishii 口寂しい - lonely mouth.
- Comment on Anon goes on a diet 2 weeks ago:
About half that is what’s recommended for a target. I don’t think 5kg/mo is crazy unusual for the first month or two of a diet, but would typically be followed by a plateau. Could also be dehydration from additional exercise, but that wouldn’t account for all of it.
- Comment on Expand North! So much room up there. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, and that whole TransCanada highway being a massive choke point

One good grease fire and it’ll catch the painting on fire too.

I don’t think she’s aiming at the little one in the foreground, I think she’s staying ready for the older looking adolescent lurking behind the lamp post
- Comment on ChatGPT dissidents, the students who refuse to use AI: ‘I couldn’t remember the last time I had written something by myself’ 3 weeks ago:
Even if it does solve some problems (not that I concede that point), does it create more problems than it solves, and are the problems it creates larger than the ones it solves.
- Comment on Who got that landlord money? 3 weeks ago:
assuming there’s still “the woods” by then.
Of course there will be silly, it’ll just be wholly owned by the richest individuals and companies. You won’t be able to afford to die alone in the woods, let alone hike there.

Depends on how Christian they really were. Real Christians played the fuck outta Doom, cause you were killing demons from hell.

Sure, a new boat can go much faster, but OP es referring to older ships from before the train & plane were invented.
- Comment on we are creators 1 month ago:
Just a nit pick, but you could run faster than sail boats, so they’re only faster for long distance
