Atlanta is embracing a cheap, effective way to beat urban heat: 'cool roofs'
  • A shade structure? Yes, a shade structure will dramatically reduce load on the AC of whatever is under it.

    Would that help the larger city climate? Well sure, if it's trees. A giant umbrella over the top of a skyscraper? Who knows

  • So you don't have a doctor's note?
  • I'm pissed on her behalf!

    Need documentation over 28 weeks, kay, sure, that's stupid bullshit on its own, but whatevs.

    But she's not. And then they fucking wheedle her.

    Fuck off. 24 weeks. Conversation over. Shut the fuck up and do your job.

  • Infrared contact lenses let you see in the dark
  • So, the articles are old, but chlorin e6 mixed with insulin and DMSO in saline gives a temporary boost to nightvision.

    Sounds fucking awesome, and the ingredients all seem fairly easy to acquire. No commercial product, but why would there be?

  • Is there a good place to find Haynes manuals?
  • Haynes honestly suck. Chiltons are better, but still aren't what I suggest looking for: the manufacturers service manual.

    Last time I bought a haynes manual was when I was searching for a vacuum leak. The diagrams for the lines in the haynes were pretty much "yeah, they're in there. Black. Connect to things"

    Threw the fucking thing in a puddle and did it the hard way. In the rain.

  • Hi, I need in-person help from a computer whiz-can travel

    Hello!

    So, I live on a bus. We travel around, it's pretty great. I don't have a laptop or a mailing address that works, so getting certain things done is difficult, and I have two things I need help with.

    I installed a solar system a while back, with an older charge controller a friend recommended. I more recently upgraded the batteries to lithium irons. So now this controller requires reprogramming, and to do so you have to plug an RJ45 (pretty sure that's the name) into it, and probably download some shitty chinese spyware program to fiddle with it. Their newer models bluetooth and require an app of course.

    The other thing is either much trickier or impossible, and while I've booted up dumpstered laptops with thumbdrive linux before (and found the homemade blowjob video, heh) I've no idea how to even go about fiddling with this.

    It's a (shitty chinese) dash/backup/security camera system. It's been referred to as a 'pizza box' system by someone who hates money. It might have a wifi chip onboard, but I can't figure out it does or not.

    I'd like to flash it to run linux, if possible, and put some actually useable video monitoring/porting/editing maybe programs on there. The current UI is unusable even when it's cooperating. Like if there were an accident, I'd just basically be bluffing. Sure the data's probably there, but it's in a format that won't register on any device I've plugged the SD card into. I need it to export to filetype I can use with an ipad, which is the only computer we have aboard.

    If any of this sounds like a fun or interesting challenge, I can throw some dollars at you. Or trade work! We do auto/diesel/bicycle mechanic work, welding, sewing, leather and general handy shit.

    Fabric softener is a scam
  • HE soap sounds like marketing bullshit.

    When I was making my own detergent, I used regular baking soda, did not bake it at all, borax, and table salt. 50/50 borax and soda, and then like 10-20% portion of salt.

    Absolutely neutral scent.

  • U.S. officials cracking down on people trying to bring valuable eggs across the border
  • It's not breakfast without an egg.

    Cultural thing, sure.

    But the pancakes/waffles/cake/bread of any fluffy sort take eggs to make, and in the morning the best thing to tie your leftovers across the starch is an egg. Fried, poached, what have you.

    And sure, there's substitutes. But I didn't grow up with those, and it ain't breakfast without an egg.
