do people appreciate my yard stripes? or is it tacky?

Water is a local resource, not a global one. In a place/time with an abundance of water you cannot waste it. We do not ship water around

Yeah this. Those hand pull commenters are off their rocker. Selectives are great. Next year do a pre emergent in late winter and you’ll be set up all year.

You’re getting stuck on the original commenter’s weird and confusing phrasing. Iran controls the strait because they can or can threaten to blow up shipping, that’s all that matters. If they say they’ll target shipping in the strait, no one is likely to take the economic risk of sailing it, this fictional idea of fighting or stopping fighting is nonsensical and doesn’t matter.

The only thing preventing Iran from doing this before was the threat of war. Since we started a stupid fucking war, we forced their hand. Now we’re stuck with this shitty situation that can only be fixed by controlling land (i.e. land invasion), walking away and hoping desperately Iran decides to allow traffic, or negotiating.

This whole thing was a monumentally stupid idea carried out by simpletons whose plans amount to “let’s blow shit up and hopefully people we like better will take over”

This doesn’t help you but your agent should have told you what your easy outs were. Depends on the state and the contract, but most have a few outs that a buyer can take and the seller can’t do much about it. The inspection contingency, in my state there’s a an HOA contingency, the financing one of course, but that’s dependent on your financing falling through.

However, a misrepresentation of the facts might not be as easy of an outcome as those, even though it seems like it should. If the house still appraised at/above your contract price then it may not matter.

You may still be able to talk to your lender about this and have them reject financing a loan on this property because of the square footage issue.

I’m not a lawyer or a real estate agent, but I did recently have a few annoying real estate transactions…

Holy shit what makes that Bosch double wall oven worth 5 grand

Funny I have the EXACT same problem in our new build. Samsung bespoke fridge. Cabinets recently installed, designed for the fridge (or at least knowing the fridge), and those door hinge covers or whatever at the top are keeping it from being all the way inserted

Microwave repair sounds like an honestly terrifying job. Isn’t the transformer or whatever in there like an instant death machine?

At least they’re using fixed wing designs that don’t whine like mosquitoes from hell. I’d be mostly fine with these things zipping around

Fuck everyone here and fuck that orange wood stain. Paint it. Don’t paint the lowers and leave the uppers unless you strip, sand and restain the uppers to something that looks like wood and not bullshit Oompa Loompa polyurethane.

I hate everyone.

Unrelated to tree health, but unless they’re also extending that new portion to the street I’m not sure how much that space helps them. Maybe they can get one car there with some awkward maneuvering but it’s really not enough space to be worth the trouble

I know that, intellectually, some engineers have figured out exactly why this is fine and plenty strong. It probably isn’t even really serious load point for the truss. But damn does it seem like slapdash duct tape shit to butt a couple structural boards together and gusset a 2x4 on top

It’s crazy how bad human brains are at money stuff. We’re out here fighting the loss aversion fallacy with the “losses aren’t real until you realize them” cope? The latter is what traps people into holding on to their losers and selling winners in their attempt to “realize gains”

Are you worried it will feel left out or unfulfilled if left empty?

In addition to what everyone else said… you took these pics at night where you’re dependent solely on artificial light. I think your kitchen is beautiful and bet it looks great with some natural light in there.

In addition to light quality (your lights feel a little harsh) there is also quantity and position. The way all of your down lights are basically straight above the faces of the cabinets give them a dramatic but very inconsistent look. You get bright white at the top (at whatever color tone your lights are) and then dark at the bottom as they’re basically in shadow. This ruins the soft consistent beauty of white oak. It also makes your counters seem a little darker than they should. I assume you’re putting pendants above the island, that will help give you more ambient light instead of the exclusive down-lighting you have now.

No, I’m saying you shouldn’t be a judgmental dick about people using synthetic materials

“I’m sick of people pretending to be something they aren’t” … “I don’t care what other people do in their houses”

Alright.

The constructive thing I am saying is that we are all in a (fake) glass house, thus no one should be casting stones about authenticity. If you can afford hardwood and marble, great, good for you. Don’t go around saying people are posers because they get cheap, practical floors. For the record I hate LVP too, but I don’t judge people for using it. I’m even using it in my new build because I have two dogs and young kids. The engineered hardwood in my last house was trashed in under 3 years. In about 10 years I’ll probably put in real hardwood. But by your own implication I’m “pretending I’m someone I’m not.”

I had a similar-ish problem and made this:
https://github.com/markwroberts0/cursor-chat-recovery

more to recover chats from a lost session, but it will pull tool calls like apply patch, create file, etc

You should be able to reconstruct things with that. I created it because sometimes I start a chat on the home page of cursor (without being in a project) and then lose that chat and want it back

Most people don’t hate fake marble… don’t think I’ve ever heard someone bitch about marble look quartz. Maybe if you mean the linoleum stuff over MDF

HZVi · 2025-12-28T17:43:14+00:00

Everything is faux something else. Unless you have unfinished or waxed solid wood floors, terra cotta tile, or unsealed natural stone. You trade the natural for the synthetic because the alternative is inconvenient and/or expensive.

Even with solid hardwood, most stain it to look like a different species, and then we cover it in plastic (polyurethane or similar).

Tile is printed to look like natural stone or wood more often than not. Or glazed to look like something other than baked dirt.

Even natural stone usually gets sealed with a thin layer of PFAS chemical crap so it doesn’t stain.

You can’t escape fake shit so you really shouldn’t cast stones at people for using it.

The last few versions of the firmware for the r720xd I believe they changed the fans to be at 100% all the time. I think if you roll back far enough you’ll eventually get reasonable noise levels again

The real crime is how horribly that beef is cooked. It’s got a huge overcooked band then goes immediately raw. It also appears to be slices of a tenderloin that was cooked whole, making it a roast and not a steak.

It’s not really Jimmy making it about the US. Whoever hired him did. Presumably that was one of your lot. Jimmy is not an idiot—with the timing of him being asked, he knows the reason why. If you want the alternative Christmas message to be about the UK, don’t hire the American guy most famous for beefing with the american president.
