That's an interesting type of visualization. Is there a name for this type?

That's very sweet. I'll share that with her.
I only made this comment because for some reason GOG seems to be more preferred by linux users than Steam, where as Steam has done a lot more for linux, and it not just works for Steam. GOG is now easily usable on linux mainly thanks to Valve's proton. I don't mind if game devs don't make as many games for linux. There is a huge chicken and egg problem with game development and userbase. Before proton they had all the reason to make games for linux but most didn't because it didn't make much financial sense to them. Now they don't have to worry about it. Plus, linux is much more than gaming. Because there is more people using linux now because of gaming, software other than games would be interested in building for linux, because the userbase is getting there.
I mean, I'm not naive to think valve does anything for anything other than money and self preservation. That doesn't mean I (and the overall linux community as a whole) don't greatly benefit from it. I want to incentivize their actions which benefit me. I love that I have been able to not boot into Windows for close to a decade because of proton, so I buy from them. I hate that GOG for all their drm free policy don't support linux, and that I have to jump through hoops to get their games working on linux (which is again made easier because of valve's proton), so I don't buy from them.
I agree GOG and Valve have different objectives. GOG's objective is to provide drm free games, where as Valve's objective is to make linux a viable gaming platform so they can stay independent of Microsoft. My objective aligns with Valve, so they get my money.
This is a win win for them. I don't think anybody has prime for just prime video. It's just an additional perk. The main perk is the free one day and two day shipping. Even if people stop watching prime video, they're mostly not going to cancel their prime because there are other perks they use. If they keep the membership but don't watch prime video, then that is resource savings for Amazon which translates to less operating costs. If they do watch it, that translates to ad revenue. Either way, win win. At this point there is pretty much no reason not to sail the high seas.
This is why I gave up buying on GOG and buy my games exclusively on Steam. Valve has made linux a viable gaming platform through seamless proton integration and steam deck. GOG on the other hand hasn't even built a linux client after all these years.
Yeah I have zero idea. I'm a first time homeowner. He didn't find any actual issues, but ended up giving me a quote for $13000 total.
Holy macaroni!
Thanks for the suggestion. I've ordered a black light flashlight. Let's see how that goes
I don't remember seeing any poop. Maybe I'll go up and check again. He also showed me some gaps in the insulation and said that's made by mice to get around. 
. He also said the insulation is 12 inches which is low and to gave me a quote for $8000 to remove existing insulation and blow new insulation (because there would be rat poop inside). Or $6000 to blow on top of old insulation.
Fuck, that's very sobering.
