And a liter is exactly one kilogram as long as we're talking about
distilled water at STP. Always use STP to fend off unwanted, otherworldly
debate, since STP is defined for Earth. Keep that in mind. A gram in a
vacuum would weigh a gram at STP. The more you know...

You're probably right about that. OTOH, beginning bakers should be introduced to and understand the concept that the amount of liquid added to a dough is not measured by volume or weight or even mass. It's measured by the feel of dough in one's hand.

I buy steaks that are far from amazing at Save-a-Lot. They're from Mexico, which means they are pasture fed. They're more healthful because of that, but generally not well marbled, and without that, and other aspects (like flavor) of corn fed/corn finished American feedlot beef. I cut out the tenderloins from the T-bones/porterhouses to serve to my wife and son, use the strips pounded for carne asada, and grill the remaining bones/meat rare for myself, as I love eating beef off the bone.
 
There's no doubt that Prime/Choice graded beef is more tender, but ungraded Mexican steaks aren't "crappy."

With no teeth, I bet he gives a hell of a blow job.

Nope! NO roof repairs done until now! And Old World Roofing knows what they are going, and specializes in tile and slate roofing:

Yes, but removing tiles you plan on keeping to reinstall would be top down.

Lance the foreman handed the topmost red clay tile piece/cap that was perfect, handed to another worker and said "Put this someplace sacred".

Not so. I was curious about various feelings and approaches. Meatloaf
is something that I make once in a while. I can't get why people
dislike it, but everyone is different. Meatloaf can be something that
I don't like, it depends on the cook and approach.
In theory you and your husband should have liked meatloaf except it is
a dish that you were totally unfamiliar with it. It is a winter
comfort food in the US. We have ours with a baked potato and some
sort of cooked vegetable. Some people eat leftover meatloaf sliced
cold for sandwiches. As a sandwich it is fine, I just never grew up
with meatloaf sandwiches. I need a lot of ketchup to be able to enjoy
it.

Right Popeye, and yoose forgot to note that these old flat chested
wimmens forgot to add a cup of human breast milk to the meatloaf.
 
It's also missing the 2 Tbsp sailor cum in yoose standard US navy
recipe.

> I only cook for two of us and one lb is fine. The proportions can be increased obviously. One to one and a half lbs is enough for supper for hubby and I, then he has just enough left for a lunch sandwich for work later in the week. I used to cook for a bottomless pit when we still had a teenager here, but he’s grown at 42 with kids of his own now. I don’t want a freezer full of leftovers. Works for me.

Popeye only cooks fer two also. But his old mexican wimmens has
tapeworms so she eats a shit load of grub. Almost as much as he had
to cook back when he fed the 6th US fleet.

Nobody has ever done as much damage to the US as Trump. Not by a long
shot. You've become the laughing stock of the whole world.

The administration previous to Trump's was respected worldwide. It was finally an administration that countries on an international scale thought they could work with.
 
Unfortunately, a great many of the Americans hated the guy. It was the start of the great divide of the American people. Trump leveraged that division to great effect. America should never trust a guy that will use hate to manipulate its people. That's just asking for trouble.

That part was a joke, John.  The first part was advise - something you
frequently ignore but should really consider right now.  Since you are
paying top dollar for your restoration you should know you might not be
getting the best they have to offer.  While there are many high-quality
underlayments for roofs, I have never heard of MB Technology or Layfast
but what matters now is that it appears you are getting an application
with half of the available warranty. That might be OK for a normal
roofing job but, again, you are overpaying so you should get the very
best.  Ask them about this:
 
* *Steep Slope (Limited Material Warranty):
*Layfast 10 year limited material warranty. One layer of TULF40,
TU35 or supercap SBS.
<https://www.mbtechnology.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/layfast-SBS-TU35-TULF40-SC85GWH-10-year-limited-material-warranty-Rev-11-6-2017.pdf>Layfast
15 year limited material warranty. One layer of TU43.
<https://www.mbtechnology.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/layfast-SBS-TU43-15-Year-limited-material-warranty-rev-11-16-2017.pdf>Layfast
20 year limited material warranty. Two layers of TU35 or TULF40.
Layfast 30 year limited material warranty.
<https://www.mbtechnology.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/layfast-SBS-TU35-TULF40-2-ply-20-Year-limited-material-warranty-rev-11-16-2017.pdf>Two
layers of TU43 one layer of TU70.
<https://www.mbtechnology.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/layfast-SBS-TU43-TU70-30-Year-limited-material-warranty-rev-11-16-2017.pdf>
 
This is very important:
 
*For Architects and Specification Writers
*Since Layfast is still mechanically fastened (like 30/40# felt), there
is no change in drawings/specifications.  To specify Layfast, insert the
following language in the tile/shingle/metal roof specification section
where the underlayment is specified. For tile and metal roofs, we
recommend the use of TU70; for shingle roofs, we recommend the use of TU43.
 
Here's that warranty information:
 
https://www.mbtechnology.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/layfast-SBS-TU43-TU70-30-Year-limited-material-warranty-rev-11-16-2017.pdf
 
Finally, the $80 per hour plus materials might add up to far more than
you ever imagined.  Plywood, and lumber in general, is at an all-time
high.  You could be looking at tens of thousands in extras and a lot
more if roof trusses were compromised by the water intrusion.  If they
find mold they might stop the job until you can get that resolved.  I
would recommend that you watch what they are doing, ask about the
underlayment warranty, and pay very close attention when they are down
to the roof substrate.  Ask them to tell you when they discover
something that requires time and material and keep track of what
additional materials they are installing and how long it is taking
them.  You already signed a contract but the open-ended part is where
they can really hit you.

The rolls they have stacked up next to his house are a synthetic felt
that is nailed down.  Tile doesn't keep water out - the underlayment
does.  Tile is decorative and keeps the sun off of whatever they use
underneath it for waterproofing.  I know you already knew that.

That might be a 6/12 or steeper.  Hard to tell.  Plywood prices are
crazy right now.

You realize that would be possible, right?  Not the virginity part, the
years of the cars.
