I agree on quantamania, it's a fun turn your brain off movie. Introduces some cool concepts to the universe and has some interesting visuals. Marvel movies aren't meant to be your forest gumps, people seem to forget that sometimes.

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.

I don't know that they're allowed to. I saw China is building some of them in Mexico because of it.

Lul this fucking guy.

You're great.

If it does it'll get the import tax so look forward to it being in the high 20ks.

Yea it's sorta dumb in hindsight but In a panic I get it. A smaller sedan in neutral can be pushed by hand so he probably panicked and tried the same lul.

It depends. My fiancee has it and it's been under control for years and she takes medication daily for it. Iirc in our state if you haven't had a seasure in 2 years you can get your drivers license.

The version she has isn't the movie kind either, she's fully conscious and relatively in control while it happens. She would have time to break and chuck it in park before it gets to the point her body doesn't cooperate and even then she can still speak and talk people through helping her, assuming she's not with me or family who knows what to do. She carries a special suppository gel that'll stop it. Imagine a smaller prefilled turkey baster, or bigger lube injector.

Yea there's no way the first person over a wall wouldn't get immediately mercd by everyone on top who isn't fighting anyone yet.

Lul you jest but Ive talked to my buds about the perfect amount of monitors and 3 is the consensus.

Main gaming one, browsing/YouTube one and discord/chat/alternate browsing one when needed.

Final Fantasy 14 Macros (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/finalfantasyxiv@lemmy.world
 

Hey peeps, let me preempt this by saying IM DISABLED.

OK let me explain, I enjoy playing ff14 but unfortunately I have arthritis and carpal tunnel which makes it painful to stretch my hands too much to press all the buttons necessary. When I played wow I was able to get by with the use of their extensive macro communities and add-ons.

Unfortunately the same communities and add-ons don't really exist and the community seems to be by in large unintentionally ableist, at least by my research. All I see is variations of 'don't use macros because you'll lose .5 seconds and suck!'.

I don't play hardcore endgame content not do I have any intention to play it with random. I mostly play with friends and they don't care if I use macros or not, they understand my situation and just want me to have fun.

But here I am asking for help with macro creation and possibly class choice. I'm currently playing a summoner as they don't seem to be very hard and I can macro a couple of things together to ease my pain.

What tank and healer class would be the easiest to play for someone like me and possibly what macros could they use to give me a hand?

For summoners, is there a way to macro the summons with gemshine? Plus add a modifier in there for aoe. That way I can trim down 5 buttons to 3. I know it was possible in wow but as I understand it ff14 has a limited macro system on purpose.

I hope some of you understand my situation and spare me the criticism. Most of the ff community has been lovely and understanding, I just get the rabid folk when I mention combat macros.
