  • My dude, I hate racists.

    I also have a sense of humour, so stuff like comedy and costumes aren’t places where I tend to judge people. If I did, I’d think that most black and brown comedians were racist, and that most white ones were pedophiles or rapists. But I don’t.

    My comment was in response to the question about people using <insert colour> face during that time, and it seemed to be more common than some of us can remember.

    I don’t know anything about the guy in question, and it seems silly to judge him based on a basketball player costume he wore on Halloween almost 20 years go. We should use some common sense here.

    Wait until you tell extremist, right-wing Christians that Jesus wasn’t a white guy! Oooohhh boyyy!

    Also, I think it’s important to not forget that in the internet age, a very small minority of hateful asshats can appear to have a very large voice. They are still a very small, minority group of asshats.


  • I’m of the opinion that if a roof can’t support a few extra hundred pounds, the entire house is compromised.

    Wet snow can add thousands of pounds of weight to a roof, so a solar panel (which can actually deflect a lot of heavy snow), really should be no problem at all.

    That said, it’s incredibly disappointing that home insurance companies are causing difficulties for people who want to adopt greener tech.

    Funny thing is, CAA (the company mentioned in the article) will insure e-bikes without any issues (a fire risk in any home), but state that the risks of these solar panels would be problematic? I think they’re just picking and choosing what they want to cover, without any evidence supporting their position.
