It's funnier cause they claim blue eyes are superior when in most of the world it isn't, especially when the world is heating up more and more and we have less ice and snow.

I agree on quantamania, it's a fun turn your brain off movie. Introduces some cool concepts to the universe and has some interesting visuals. Marvel movies aren't meant to be your forest gumps, people seem to forget that sometimes.

What sort of prices were they charging?

You would need to screw the plywood into the roof so it doesn't shift around and damage stuff during the whole process, nobody is gonna wanna do that. Boom lifts are ocassionally used for extremely tall properties but they add to the price. You're forgetting the biggest issue though, liability. My company stopped doing fumigations cause of the liability involved. Getting the plywood on the roof is gonna take a lot of effort and more than just a boom lift, you're gonna need huge slabs of it to properly cover panels, I don't know if you've seen them but they're not small. They usually cover significant portions of the roof.

At that point it would just be cheaper to pay a company to remove them and reinstall vs all that other effort.

If there was a better way the companies would do it to make money. There just isn't unless the owner is willing to shell out and many aren't, even the rich ones and we work with A LOT of rich people. They own million dollar homes and have multiple homes all over the area.

You drop heavy ass tarps on the roof and roll them to tent a house, I'm taking couple hundred pound tarps. The workers need to be able to walk on the roof to set them up, the tarps can and have damaged panels so companies in the area don't fumigate with them on anymore.

I work closely with a fumigation company and that's what they've told us.

Might be cause they make roof redos or fumigation even more expensive. I had a customer say they were paying 3k to get their panels removed so they could pay another 3k to fumigate the house. Almost doubled the price.

Don't get me wrong, I agree that we should require panels in new builds somehow but I don't know what the best option is.

I don't know that they're allowed to. I saw China is building some of them in Mexico because of it.

If it does it'll get the import tax so look forward to it being in the high 20ks.

Yea it's sorta dumb in hindsight but In a panic I get it. A smaller sedan in neutral can be pushed by hand so he probably panicked and tried the same lul.

It depends. My fiancee has it and it's been under control for years and she takes medication daily for it. Iirc in our state if you haven't had a seasure in 2 years you can get your drivers license.

The version she has isn't the movie kind either, she's fully conscious and relatively in control while it happens. She would have time to break and chuck it in park before it gets to the point her body doesn't cooperate and even then she can still speak and talk people through helping her, assuming she's not with me or family who knows what to do. She carries a special suppository gel that'll stop it. Imagine a smaller prefilled turkey baster, or bigger lube injector.

Non moderation in a world that is increasingly connected. All the crazies can easily find themselves and use propaganda to turn youths into them.

Lul would be amazing. I would love to see their reaction as the meter in front of them goes ham.
