This is a use case for a step flashing or pan. Use sheet metal cut to shape and bent at a right ( or other angle) to give you a nailing surface. You nail it to the roof deck and it stands up.

Meh. I've heard much, much worse. My guess is that there were no monitors on stage and so they couldn't hear themselves to correct pitch. If that was the case it wasn't that bad a job.

Coincidentally that's the year I finished grad school and was probably at the peak of my tech savviness. Things have changed a lot since then. On all fronts.

Pirates (2005)

Also Yellowbeard

I've been out of it. What do we call "Master" and "Slave " drives now?

Exactly what other waste products do you think are safe to consume? In my understanding they range from "never" to "Dear God why would you ever think to do that?"

You could argue that, but you'd be wrong. Watch Selling LA to see what a celebrity premium is worth lol.

It has covenants that prevent it from being used as a home or residence. It's worth less than other properties because of those use restrictions. Yes Donald is in violation of those covenants by living there. But when you're a star, you know, they just let you do it.

I blocked that whole community because of that bot. I kind of get the impulse, but it's swamping any attempt at useful discourse with layers of shit.

Rudy's got nothing to offer. They can't put him on the stand because he'll get shredded. So the only leverage he has is if he has information that they have no other way to access. And it seems like Jack Smith et al. Know pretty much everything.

Bill Barr is 5'9". Trump wears when 4 inch heels he's on stage.

The fact of a clearance has nothing to do with what Poilievre is doing. He is an anger clown who produces a non-stop stream of invective and complaints. Facts, relevance, and nuance are unwanted because they would interfere with the machine gun fire of grievances. So a clearance doesn't hold any value for him. He simply wants something to complain about.

It was. Because he felt like a creep buying lingerie for his wife at department stores.

What I find funny is that everything she sings about has nothing to with older men in Ohio, but everything to do with female designers and gay stylists on the coasts.

Yams FTW.

10,000 BCE unless something dramatic happened this year.

Uhhhhh it's still a nonviable fetus. And 22 week preemies don't have great outcomes either - 30% survival rate and severe health complications.

Here's one I just ran across shortly after writing this.

Booz Allen is a private company that runs recreation.gov and sets it's own fees to pay itself.

Somebody sued and won saying that fees charged for access to national parks were meant only for park maintenance and therefore the fees were illegal. They won! And then...nothing.

Technically everyone who paid a booking fee to access an American National park in the last decade is entitled to a refund. Not a penny appears to be forthcoming because fuck you, that's why.

The accountability is both legal and electoral. Neither is necessarily easy, but this is dramatically different than the legal framework that applies to corporations.

I don't want to clog up the thread with examples, but you don't need to search too hard to find examples of minor harms that aren't worth any individuals time to sue.

Class actions are supposed to be the antidote but wind up enriching the filing lawyers and the named plaintiff. Everyone else gets a coupon for $1.27 off their next purchase.

Humour? Wit?
