Grundulum posted:I thought it started when those hicks took over the Malheur Wildlife Refuge building in the dead of winter, and one guy basically camped out overnight in freezing conditions by putting a tarp over his camp chair. that was another meme with a tarp in it This threads reference to tarps comes from the brutal war over whether or not tarps would work to cover cars in snowstorms Kind of like the thread in-joke reference to a "Modeling Crisis" developing because self proclaimed weather experts don't understand complex systems of variables and want to highroad everyone causing another huge fight. It doesn't really have anything to do with the concept outside of this thread.

Gripweed posted:A few years back the British government put out a report saying that they, the British government, needed to provide funds to insulate buildings including private homes. It would be a relatively small upfront cost with enormous savings in the following years. The government then proceeded to do absolutely nothing. A protest group was formed called Insulate Britain that did small protests like temporarily blocking roadways to try to force the government to do the small thing it had already said it needed to do. The British public and media responded by saying that Insulate Britain was a terrorist group and every member needed to be in jail. why insulate homes when you can insulate the entire planet

fun fact - the word tarp is short for tarpaulin, named after pauline h tarpinson the woman who invented the tarp in 1862 when she needed to find a way to quickly get the snow off her ford f150 super crew cab

the tarp poo poo started after people argued over putting a tarp over your car before snowstorms and whether or not it would scratch your vehicle when you pulled it off with all that weight on it

yeah we all made fun of the idea and then someone posted a video of someone successfully using the technique and so we immediately changed our tune and decided that tarps can solve literally any problem

I just use two tarps. car protected from snow-covered tarp by another tarp, and then the much lighter freed tarp is taken off with neither muss nor fuss

You would think that they would love a group whose goal was to literally turn Britain into an island. Gripweed posted:I don't think so. I know they call hardware stores something weird there. I think their hardware stores are much smaller than ours, and don't have much stock. Ironmonger’s

the only actual problem with the tarp method is the amount of work in tying it down so it does not blow off is not much of a savings compared to just cleaning it off.
