My gym required me to go the location I signed up and cancel in person lul. I just told them I don't live in the country anymore and I'm calling from abroad, they can either cancel or get charge backed. They canceled quick.

It's not much but I charge all my battery electronics at work and fill my water growlers too they have a pretty great filter here. I have a bunch of camping electronics. Couple flashlights/magnet lights, couple battery packs, portable rechargeable air pump. I'm thinking of getting one of those big Boi anker power bricks for when I travel.

You say that but that's literally how we got all the 'good' stuff we enjoy as employees now, in the US at least. Guys wbacj then literally went to war against the bosses and physically forced them to the metaphorical table.

I'm of a similar opinion but really it depends on the user's wants.

I personally don't care for an easy app like interface. My set up is literally just wireless keyboard and mouse in the living room and a pc hooked up to my TV. I just stream stuff from 'free' sites online. It's not much effort really. I'm not usually interested in checking out movies and shows the moment they release, I can wait a couple weeks or months for them to pop up in good quality on those sites.

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.

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

Yea 4chan is worse than it used to. I browse the X board which is just supernatural stuff. No kidding, 5 percent is the stuff I browse for which most people would be interested in, ghosts, cryotids, aliens, scary stories the usual stuff but X is overrun by semen retention, succubus, manifestation, literal religious nut jobs, actually literal insane conspiracies, the nobody (sounds interesting but it's actually just delusional people), divination and spirituality and any and all combinations of all these topics sprinkled with casual racism and xenophobia.

I'm not even nitpicking these are common and I just pulled up the app and saw all of the there.

I unserstand how some of these could fall under paranormal but the board is just overrun by insane posts and nobody sane could remotely believe them.

For sure. I met my now fiancee on a dating app, neither of us are into hookup culture. She's demisexual so it's actually the opposite for her and I'm just not interested in it. These guys are really huffing the 4chan sauce hard.
