This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I...what is this fresh language you speak

It's roofer speak. Standard asphalt shingle is properly called architectural 3-Tab. High-albedo means that the roof material is highly reflective, which has a bunch of benefits in terms of environmental applications.
