    Slammed a Detroiter the other night.  When the fuck is Homeslice on Northloop opening?  That shit's been under construction for almost 3 years.

    Homeslice North Loop is OPEN

    Spray foam turns your new home into a YETI ice chest.  It stops air infiltration 100%.  Stop that, and your energy consumption is cut significantly.  It's 2-3x the cost of batt or blown in cellulose, but it does what it's advertised to do. Add a conditioned attic in the mix and you further reduce HVAC costs.   Noise is cut by almost 100% from room to room or from outside to inside.  As it's use grows the cost decreases.

    You can cut the cost by using a hybrid system of just a 1" spray in and batt our cellulose back up to achieve the correct R-value.  Point is it's a one time, passive cost that requires no maintenance or repair for the life of the product. Its not ugly like a bunch of solar panels up on your $500k terra cotta tile or slate roof on your multi million dollar home. Solar is not pretty or well integrated into the design world yet.

     

    I have spray foam and have been pretty happy the past 10 years.  Utility costs in the brutal summer are still decent ($200-$250 for 2k sq ft).

    Maybe Trump is going to shiv Kim and go out in a blaze of glory. 

    More likely vice versa.  Also, of course Kim wants to meet with this president.  The American he gets along with is Dennis fucking Rodman.  He deals with crazy people only.  It only makes sense that dotus is the one who he feels comfortable meeting.

    Humans will go extinct and the planet will go on. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, all species on Earth go extinct. Humans will too. It is the nature of things on this planet. Humans are to inwardly focused to think that the species will survive. Extinction is a certainty.

    It is nothing to worry about. It is a certain scientific fact that humans cannot stem the tide of extinction.

    This isn't a direct attack on you, because I'm not sure if serious, but this type of thinking is what fucking kills me when the topic of climate change, etc comes up.  Yes, no one thinks the Earth, as a planet, is actually at risk.  It's a ball of fucking elements.  It will be fine.  From a human point of view, who gives a flying fuck about the actual ground beneath us in the long term.  I happen to like animals a lot more than humans, but I still root for the humans to not die.  I just hate when climate change deniers use the literal "the Earth will live on" argument as an argument as to why we shouldn't worry about continuing to add CO2 to the atmosphere.  Yes, I know, the planet will be fine.  Our way of life that we have cultivated will not.  You couldn't smooth a silk sheet if you had a hot date with a babe!......I lost my train of thought.

  5. I am yet to see a reason that we couldn't have amended the deal instead of trashing it entirely.  Both dotus and congress has said "it just couldn't be done".  Give me a reason you fucks.

    But the focus has changed drastically over time. At first it was about rebuilding western Europe. We severed ties with our friends of convenience in the USSR and then fought a proxy war with them for the next....I don't know how many years. Looks like it's still going on. But for a while there there was a truce, and we lost our way, and could not define what our "foreign policy" was, now that it was no longer Containment of Communism.

    It's just really code for national self interest, and mostly, for the last 120 years or so, it's been about getting control of as much sweet, sweet crude oil as possible. People overcomplicate this, but that's what it's been all about.  

    This is, ah, I feel this is correct.
