Yeah every house I’ve had has been granite and never have we babied it or damaged it, my mom seals hers but we never have. As I mentioned earlier, butcher block may not be as dirt cheap as you think. At least not nicer quality. You can get an 8’ soft rubber wood counter from Lowe’s for $20...

So what you’re saying is they orettt much nailed the EQ ranger? How’d they do with Paladin?

The Alters looks 20x better than that.

I was pretty disappointed overall. Kept my attention about 59-60% but just stopped being interesting at some point. Really liked the first part with him trying to figure stuff out and whatnot, but then the first swap to Walking Guy was okay… but yeah then I kind of lost interest.

Returnal was amazing. Didn't get into it until years later but binged it for a few weeks and couldn't get enough.

Well, I already skip through any of the girl soccer on Wrexham, easy enough to skip this like the last two seasons.

He wouldn’t necessarily need one. He could be a Yojimbo or Mad Max, Man with No Name. Plenty of examples exist of this archetype. But I think it is more likely we get a prequel store story like others have said.

In bed on my phone after waking up I had no freaking idea what that was. Mother-in-law is in town this week to work on her build. So, I'll be carting her off to window, floor, tile meetings. We're still waiting for an official close date, should be sometime around May 18th and clearing to...

Back in 2018 I did some lobbying in DC around the use of unlicensed 6 GHz devices, still kind of irks me because I put in a lot of work meeting with members of Congress, FCC leadership, and the FCC Office of Engineering Technology. We had working sessions with vendors that ultimately created the...

There was a post yesterday in one of the Home Build groups where someone was asking about a sink, this guy responded "DO NOT BUY THIS SINK! FOOD GETS STUCK IN CORNERS AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN!" I really wanted to reply, "Gosh, thanks. Luckily in our house we have a garbage right next to...

Just realized I’m going to be in New York with no kids or wife when this comes out. Is it worth getting killed on the street to see it in a theater or just wait for streaming?

Yeah, the drain cover is definitely tight, I can remember after putting it in the water drained real slow at first.

Based on this thread we picked up this one for $70 last year, a couple years ago? Has worked just fine. I looked at some of the much larger badgers and have picked one of those for our new home build, but for this house I plopped this in and it has been 100% great...

Had a long meeting with drafter yesterday to finalize any tweaks to our plan. One of my main concerns was the front elevation and roof line. Originally it was a 10:12 pitch and I thought everything looked too big and tall, and wanted more horizontal emphasis since it is already a large house...

Took me two nights to finish this and it is unredeemably bad. The only slight slight cool thing in it was when blonde chick got sishkabobed from behind my Pyramid Head. Every single thing about this was terrible and none of it in a good or charming way. I’d rather watch the entire Resident Evil...

I'm honestly not sure about the foundation thing either, but after following Facebook groups about home construction the last year it appears to happen fairly often. Being off a bit, being slightly the wrong size, other inconsistencies. We just had our house plotted on the parcel from the survey...

I had to look it up because even consuming a ton of British TV, Movies, and Pop Culture it isn’t even a familiar vocabulary word. ChatGPT said maybe Welch’s Grape Juice or a concentrate, but that didn’t really seem correct.

Oh that’s great to know! The floors look good too. Have the counters held up? We have 3 young boys so that’s definitely part of what we’re considering. The Amerock (I think it’s the company, going blind on the names) are from $5 - $70 or something for the 12” pulls. It is crazy when considering...

Tom didn’t let you down with MI2, John Woo let us all down. It was such an odd swing and a miss. We got doves 🕊️, at least. The Killwr, Hard Boiled, Broken Arrow, Face Off, his short film for BMW with Clive Owen…. So good, and it just wasn’t meant to fit with Mission Impossible sadly.

I’ve still got my space toilet Toto planned for our bathroom. Heated seat and all. I did my best with the granite but, of course, she immediately loved the Calacatta Taj Quartz for our kitchen. I’m fine, it’s got colors and not stark white. Looking at it also made us rethink our cabinets from...

I didn't see this before but Lividian Publications is planning on releasing every Robert McCammon book in a unified format at pretty reasonable hardcover prices, smyth-sewn binding, dust jackets, new artwork. $65 isn't bad...

I used to have my accountant do that through their payroll service but this year I switched to Gusto and they don’t automatically take out estimated taxes. So I have to plan for quarterly estimated payments and quarterly pass through entity taxes. Gemini helped me do the math and it wasn’t very...

Yeeeaahhhh, a legal support company found me on LinkedIn last year b/c of something in my resume that was key to this case and they were like, "Hey, would you like to be an expert witness and interview with this firm for a case? Shouldn't be more than 10 hours or so of work." Naively I said...

Yeah, it makes sense, it just wasn't intuitive at first last year when I started figuring out our budget and plan last year. Trying to work through and understand the different LTV stuff, then what the home build would cost, then how that plays into what we could be approved for, how much cash...

We bought it outright last September in preparation for this. We knew the build process would take 6 - 8 months to get started and that would give us time to rebuild some savings to do the rest of the loan for the construction project. And then we'll use the 10 - 12 months of construction to...

Could be, but because the construction loan underwrites against the total project value (land we own and house), the land does a lot of work in the math. I confused a few times last year while trying to map it all out and put our budget together. The home build is still $1M and we’re...

No, it is fine, I'll provide whatever if it is helpful to anyone going into or thinking about the process. Yeah, based on 12 month. Loan Summary: We're doing 80/20 Loan to Value for the project. Project Value: $1,118,699 Loan Amount (80% of Value): $894,959.20 To make that 80% we're...

You’re supposed to tag me if an MP5K is displayed on the cover, you know?

Could you put the fridge where the double oven/nook is now and the nook adjacent to the sink? I’d only be worried about opening the left door of the fridge past 70 degrees or so without a large spacer between there and the wall. Putting it in the other spot gives full clearance, but you’d also...

http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/23963-pontypool Since I watched Undertone earlier I wanted to go back and watch this since it has been on my list for a while. Not exactly the same premise or anything, a little bigger scope. Three main characters instead of one, inside a radio station mostly...

Will they find a way to work in Passenger by Deftones?

Yeah, when we go tomorrow afternoon I'm going to lobby for granite and see if we can find an option that wife likes. She knows absolutely nothing about any countertop material, differences, or trends and cares zero about what is in or what anyone else thinks. It could be $0.50 a foot and she's...

Signed contract and locked in at the bank. Rates dropped so we're at 6.5% for our loan with the option to drop lower if we move into non-Jumbo at conversion and could still buy points. Will have to run the numbers at closing and see.

This isn't terrible but may be hard to recommend. I do enjoy these types of movies and have said before just an actor in a room carrying the whole thing is a genre that is cool. That's mostly what this is. There are a few other "podcast" and found audio movies that are similar. Monolith is the...

This looks great.

My comments were more material based than color as far as "timeless" is concerned. Laminate, Quartz, Corian, Quartzite, Marble, whatever I mean it all goes around and around, but hardly anyone dismisses granite as being the standby or default from a "timeless" perspective. That's my read on it...

We're leaning towards Quartz as it is. I'm way more partial to Granite b/c it has proven to be timeless (people pearl clutch already b/c of the epoxy used to make quartz), we both like the colors and movement in granite more than the trendy starkness of white quartz/quartzite and heavy contrast...
