![]() ![]() I chose my path, you chose the way of the hero. Like the Avengers, liberty is messy, problematic, and likely to result in arguments, but true freedom is also what enables people to be brave, virtuous, and honorable. When the Avengers finally assemble to take on Loki at the end of the movie, their fight becomes representative of freedom itself. The overtones in this quote escalate the stakes. What makes this quote so chilling is that it echoes the thoughts of many authoritarian politicians throughout history, figures who truly believe that freedom is not a true virtue, and that humans would be better off serving beneath the heel of a charismatic ruler. He sees the human race as being like ants beneath him, hardly worthy of his time outside of their ability to serve him as subjects. He's not only relatable, but almost lovable - pained, heartbroken, with a clever sense of humor - but at the same time, his actions themselves are utterly brutal, inhuman, and egomaniacal. Thor's adopted brother is a truly Shakespearian figure with many layers. There's a reason that Loki is one of the most popular villains to come out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life's joy in a mad scramble for power, for identity. Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state? It's the unspoken truth of humanity, that you crave subjugation. When Penguin roars that memorable line, it's a rare moment of victory for him, which Batman then throws right back in his face when he plays the recording before the Penguin's suddenly not-so-adoring audience. Burton exaggerated these traits to mutated extremes, but the core is there, and it shows in the quote above. Cobblepot, at his core, is an unknowing player in a twisted game, who doesn't know that everyone is secretly laughing at him. While the Penguin may try to be a member of Gotham's high society, he's always been a squat, squawking exile, an outsider who doesn't realize that his fashion is out of date and his umbrella looks silly. Though the general public often sees Penguin as this dapper, elegant, high society character, Burton showed a deeper understanding of Cobblepot than many give him credit for. While Tim Burton's two Batman movies are somewhat flawed adaptations, particularly when it comes to the titular character himself, there's no question that Burton invested a lot of passion into his unique version of the Penguin. But if there was ever a quote destined to sink a politician's career, it's this one by Oswald Cobblepot, the Penguin, caught in a moment of sinister glee that he didn't know Batman was recording. Nobody ever likes politicians, a truism that's even more relevant today than it was in the 1990s. You've gotta admit, I've played this stinking city like a harp from hell! I'll take care of the squealing, wretched pinhead puppets of Gotham!. It's no wonder the Marvel Cinematic Universe decided to bring Simmons back as Jameson, though what happens next after his brief cameo in the Spider-Man: Far From Home post-credits scene is something only time will tell.Just relax. ![]() ![]() The editor of the Daily Bugle steals the show in every scene he's in and it's funny when he just laughs at Peter when he asks for a raise. Yet while that's the case, JK Simmons brings some much-needed light relief with his excellent performance as J. RELATED: Spider-Man: 10 Unanswered Questions About Andrew Garfield's Universe Aunt May is also seen to have financial problems and Doc Ock's rise to villainy poses all sorts of problems. Peter is going through a tough time in life, seeing his relationship with Harry Osborn fall apart while also struggling to win around Mary Jane Watson (having rejected her at the end of the previous installment). While Spider-Man 2 is one of the best superhero movies ever made, even in today's day and age where movies from the genre release with increasing regularity, it does have a lack of humor. ![]()

![]() We love a linen sheet set or super soft jersey sheets. To add to your bed’s comfort level, be intentional about your bedding choice. Once you have your bed (and bed size) sorted out, consider the type of mattress you want. While you could technically leave your mattress on the floor - and we have totally done it-a real bed is actually a major storage hack for small spaces. The most important checklist item for the bedroom is, of course, your bed. If you don’t already have one from your dorm room, definitely pick up a microwave, a small toaster (either a classic 2-slice style or a toaster oven), and an air fryer.Īside from those staples, you might need other small apartment appliances, such as a coffee maker, tea kettle, and blender. Most apartment rentals come with a refrigerator, stove, and oven - but there are a few additional small appliances you might want to stock up on to make cooking for one a lot easier. We recommend starting with a set of two different-sized pots and one skillet pan and then growing your collection from there. Pots and pans are a kitchen must-have and you don’t need to spend a lot of money to get a good quality set when you shop at stores like Home Goods and Target. Ikea is one of the best places to shop for kitchen tools and utensils, including kitchen utensil sets, flatware, and organizers. Shopping for cooking tools and utensils is relatively easy since many come in a set, so you don’t have to worry about getting all of the different types (or even knowing what they are all used for). You can find small kitchen table and chair sets, high-top tables with barstools, or full-size kitchen tables that fit four to six people. ![]() When shopping for your first apartment, consider the kitchen space and what kind of dining situation will fit. While you can technically eat at your coffee table (and might end up doing so when up late studying), it’s important to have a designated space for enjoying your meal. It’s worth purchasing at least one or two casserole dishes, a set of four glasses, and stocking up on mugs if you don’t already have them. ![]() Dishes are a kitchen necessity and, while you might have a couple of random mugs and bowls from dorm life, it helps to make a checklist to ensure you have everything you need in your new apartment. ![]() ![]() ![]() I know for sure that my password is correct, even entered it again in the config screen.

![]() Live and snow loads vary from 10 to 70psf with dead loads of 10 and 20psf and deflections of L/∆=180 and L/∆=240.Īnother important factor is location. Additional factors include slope, eave and rake overhangs, roof tie-downs, rafter support bracing, collar ties, ridge connection, roof openings, ventilation, and roof finish. Roof rafter spacing requirements include rafter span, live and dead loads on the roof, deflection, wind and snow loads, wood species, grade, rafter size and thickness, and whether a ceiling will be attached or not. The most current IRC, published in 2021, along with previous editions, provides rafter span and spacing tables for different variables in Chapter 8. The International Residential Building Code (IRC), which is the basis of most building codes in North America, identifies the standard spacing between rafters as 12”, 16”, 19.2”, and 24” on center. So, always check the prescriptive code tables, or with a Structural Engineer before building. Thicker dimensional lumber, such as 2x10s and 2x12s can span further at 24” centers than 2x4s or 2圆s at 12” spacing for comparable wood species, grade, and load variables. The greater the space between rafters, the shorter the distance they can span. Rafter joist spacing is only one aspect of roof design and building that affects the span, along with load variables, wood species, and grade. ![]() The typical on-center spacing, according to the International Residential Building Code (IRC), is 12”, 16”, 19.2”, and 24”, which means the actual space between the rafters is 10.5”, 14.5”, 17.7”, and 22.5”. It is measured from the center of one rafter to the center of the next, also known as ‘on-center’, which makes it easier to determine the number of rafters based on the building’s length. Rafter spacing is the distance between parallel rafters or roof joists. How to Calculate Roof Rafters: How Many Rafters Do I Need?.Our goal is to provide a complete guide for sizing and spacing rafters for your projects. We’ll discuss 16” and 24” spacing, how to calculate the number of rafters required, 19.2” spacing, and the spacing when using metal roofing and for lean-to and porch roofs. In this guide, we’ll explain rafter spacing, code requirements, roof rafter span tables, and rafter spacing calculators. The wider the space between rafters often results in rafters of greater depth too. Depending on all contributing factors though, 16” and 24” are commonly used for most buildings. ![]() Standard industry roof rafter spacing is 12”, 16”, 19.2”, and 24” on-center, however other spacing may be used by a Structural Engineer. Plus, you have to select the correct rafter spacing to span the distance based on all the factors that affect your design. You have to consider live, dead, wind, and snow loads, select the correct species, grade, and dimension of lumber for the rafter span, and decide if there will be a ceiling or loft supported by the rafters. I first saw this on the fine home building site.Designing and building a roof for a shed, porch, cabin, garage, or home can be a daunting task. There are some green builders in VT who say you don't need a vapour barrier because the cellulose stops almost all infiltration and can absorb a lot of water and let it back out to the interior. ![]() If I wanted the beam and plank look and didn't have to worry about code I think I would explore site built Larson trusses and blown in cellulose. I always thought that the roof was one of the drawbacks with straw bale. I also built roofs on top with 2x12 rafters and fiberglass to do the same thing.īack when I was reading about super insulation there were folks using TGI's in Alaska with post and beam roofs and walls I think. ![]() That's why SIP's are such a good marriage with beams. It wasn't that hard to do but I never felt that good about it. 4" foam 2x4 strapping with another layer of 1 1/2" foam cut to fit between the strapping.

A deep purple vapor was released, which had a biting aroma similar to that of Scheele’s “compound.” The purple substance was identified as a new element, named iodine from the Greek iodes, meaning “violet.” Bromine was discovered soon after by a young French chemist, Antoine Jérôme Balard, who isolated a deep red liquid with a strong chlorine-like odor from brine from the salt marshes near Montpellier in southern France. That same year, a French industrial chemist, Bernard Courtois, accidentally added too much sulfuric acid to the residue obtained from burned seaweed. In 1811, Scheele’s “compound” was identified as a new element, named from the Greek chloros, meaning “yellowish green” (the same stem as in chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants). ![]() Scheele was convinced, however, that the pale green gas he collected over water was a compound of oxygen and hydrochloric acid. In 1774, Carl Wilhelm Scheele (the codiscoverer of oxygen) produced chlorine by reacting hydrochloric acid with manganese dioxide. Despite their presence in familiar substances, none of the halogens was even recognized as an element until the 19th century.īecause the halogens are highly reactive, none is found in nature as the free element.Ĭhlorine was the first halogen to be obtained in pure form. Hydrochloric acid, which is a component of aqua regia (a mixture of HCl and HNO 3 that dissolves gold), and the mineral fluorspar (CaF 2) were well known to alchemists, who used them in their quest for gold. To understand the periodic trends and reactivity of the group 17 elements: the halogens.īecause the halogens are highly reactive, none is found in nature as the free element.Knowing the atomization energy, the first ionization energy, and the hydration enthalpy, however, reveals useful patterns.\) The summation of these effects eliminates any overall pattern. The extra protons in the nucleus are again screened by the extra layers of electrons. As the ions increase in size, the water molecules are farther from the attraction of the nucleus. ![]()
