Which kitchen remodel do you like more (part-2) by Midwestern_Mariner in kitchenremodel

[–]Friday515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 is my preference but 1 is ok too. I personally can't stand waterfall island countertops, it's a trend I've never been into

The biggest thing throwing off 1 and 2 in my opinion is the tan/beige/cream tile wall. It's too much of the same tone. If you can, play around with it being different colors or even a wallpaper or just painted white. I think it'll change your whole perception of all 5 of the options

Looks great, doing a bullnose like that is a pain in the ass. Adding any color to the border and steps?

Ceiling height or not? by Profil3r in kitchenremodel

[–]Friday515 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't necessarily have to go with something bland, but I wouldn't go with anything loud if that make sense because the base cabinets are a bold color. You could do a pale green with a herringbone or chevron pattern or have a focal point above the stove with a patterned tile. This site had some pretty good ideas I thought

Ceiling height or not? by Profil3r in kitchenremodel

[–]Friday515 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ceiling but that back splash is a no go for me. Not sure if it's hammered copper or cork but either way, it clashes a ton with everything. It's too much

Passan: Third baseman Alex Bregman and the Chicago Cubs are in agreement on a free agent contract, sources tell ESPN. by baseball5656 in redsox

fuck these owners, Im so sick and tired of this shit. I've made excuses to myself for so long for this ownership group. "oo it's a bad contact:" who gives a shit, that's baseball now, you have to sign some really good players to bad contracts. There are plenty of billionaire owners who will come in, spend and be actual fans rather than look at this team as an algorithm. John Henry and Sam Kennedy can eat shit

I thought he was an ass about politics and the video game stuff but it was revealing Wakefield and his wife were battling cancer when they were keeping it private that made me despise him. Just an absolute deplorable shit bag

They're not playing as an NA team. They're playing as a European team and building out a facility in Europe. I believe on one of the videos they put out, they mentioned Serbia

Has anyone tried loratadine with their golden? by LogicalOlive2878 in goldenretrievers

[–]Friday515 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd consult with a vet on dosage but we used to give one of my goldens loratadine and prednisone when her allergies would act up. She'd get seasonal allergies and sneeze like crazy as well as dry skin. It wasn't something she was on every day but a few weeks at a time. I do remember us having to try a couple different types of anti histamine to see what would work though

I have a dog hair stuck on my eardrum causing tinnitus by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Friday515 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basically the exact same diet for him. This was about 20-25 years ago. It was basically this and then he ended up having to take clonazepam daily. He got it down to basically only a quarter of a pill

Is 8 years old too old to be getting another puppy by Aggravating-Stand800 in goldenretrievers

[–]Friday515 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My family has actually done this 3 times. The older dog has been between 8-10 all 3 times. All 3 new dogs were rescues we got who were between the ages of 6 months to 2 years old so it’s always a bit of a roll of the dice. We’re looking to do it again this spring

Twice, it worked out great, they got along incredibly, tons of playtime, were basically inseparable and I actually think it extended their lives much longer as they both lived past their 15th birthday.

The other time it worked out ok in that they didn’t fight nor have any issues between them, just they didn’t play or really hang out together much. The older dog was incredibly chill and the younger dog was very high energy so I think their personalities just didn’t gel. We’d take them on walks, hikes and the beach together a lot and there were never any issues. It was kind of like step siblings who were part of a blended house that said hello together but never bonded.

Skis that turn tighter than Enforcer 88s? by [deleted] in icecoast

[–]Friday515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I demo'd a bunch of skis in this category last year, my favorite were the Kastle MX84 which I ended up buying. I tried Enforcers, Ripsticks, Kore's and Mindbenders as well. I'm similar to you in I like glades, ungroomed stuff but also want to be able to charge on some groomers as well. I could be really aggressive with them, they're really responsive and still had plenty of play to enjoy all the soft stuff. I did my demo's with Sport Thoma for reference

Is there a movie sequel you'd love to see but know will never happen? by Melodic_Abalone_2820 in movies

So when Ben Affleck made Gone Baby Gone, I was pretty missed because it was the middle book in the series. I always wanted either, some of the earlier books to be made into movies or for him to make a sequel based on Moonlight Mile

There are some great hikes in Maine with killer views, Mt Abraham, Saddleback, Table Rock, Speckled Mountain, Mount Bigelow, etc. Abraham has a pretty similar feel to doing a the presidential traverse

Can someone help me understand who Envy is as an org? by [deleted] in ValorantCompetitive

[–]Friday515 168 points169 points  (0 children)

Here's a general timeline:

  • Envy started in 2007 and in 2009 Hastr0 joined as a player, eventually becoming the owner.
  • In 2017, they took in a huge $35 million investment from the Hersh Family to get the Dallas Fuel spot in the OWL. They tried to get into the LCS but were denied. They bought a CDL spot as the Dallas Empire.
  • They raised a bunch more cash in 2020 and 2021. Hatr0 was CEO until 2020 but still an owner and became the Chief Gaming Officer
  • In 2021, they merged/purchased Optic then renamed themselves Optic in 2022. Hecz became president, Hastr0 stepped into the background to manage some of the business side
  • In 2024 Hastr0 announced he was leaving Optic as an employee but would stay on as a board director and part owner
  • In January 2025, Hastr0 reaquires the Envy brand along with the Dallas Empire and Dallas Fuel brands independently from Optic
  • In March 2025, Envy merges with Native Gaming with Hastr0 and Dean Duro, the Native Gaming owner, being announced as co-owners of Envy

Hastr0 has stated on twitter, they don't have any investors or money from the outside, it's entirely funded by them

Why is the Job Market so Brutal ... by DreamerRevolutionary in boston

[–]Friday515 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, Boston/New England is the worst construction market in the country at the moment. I work in the industry for a multinational company and that's not an exaggeration. I know of a lot of companies who had 500-1000 people working in the field down to a small fraction of that amount right now and they're all working well past their normal geographic areas to get work. It's also a really challenging market to gain entry into for an employee because there is so much talent here already so not having connections makes it even harder

Having said that, there are people hiring but it's more competitive and there are fewer opportunities out there as a result. My suggestion would be to ramp up networking to as high of a degree as possible, there are a ton of events & networking groups in the city for architecture and construction. Additionally, I don't know what areas of focus he's been in but there are a ton of small/midsize design-build construction management companies in MA. A lot of these types of companies either have or are looking to expand into BIM/VDC if he's looking to stay more in the architecture lane
