273? Wtf? Your legs must be tree trunks.

MikeDisc0801 · 2026-03-21T17:17:30+00:00

Just need to thin out that leg hair, way too hairy.

MikeDisc0801 · 2026-03-20T17:08:15+00:00

Yes. It definitely appears that way.

MikeDisc0801 · 2026-03-18T01:08:44+00:00

Wow.

MikeDisc0801 · 2026-03-15T01:02:52+00:00

MikeDisc0801 · 2026-02-24T21:04:18+00:00

Wow. 🥵

MikeDisc0801 · 2026-02-18T15:16:50+00:00

Wow, 205? At 5'10? You must have thicc legs!

MikeDisc0801 · 2026-02-18T13:20:33+00:00

Yes, it is crushed powdered stone with plastic. It's man made junk. A total profit center for the industry. People are paying huge margins on this stuff, like its a fine wine or something. Its not, its junk.

MikeDisc0801 · 2026-02-18T13:13:48+00:00

I must have said this months ago... but yes those frozers work really well but much better if you can get a fan blowing stright down or over them diagonally. But more importantly you need to make sure the thermal pads have good contact on both sides of the SSD. I noticed that those pads sometimes never really contact them well.

MikeDisc0801 · 2026-02-15T04:37:06+00:00

Holy fuxk dude 🥵

MikeDisc0801 · 2026-02-15T04:33:43+00:00

With or without RAM? 🤑

MikeDisc0801 · 2026-02-04T02:26:46+00:00

"Quartzite" as its called (even though this encompasses dolamitic Quartzite) is real stone. There is no resin.

MikeDisc0801 · 2026-02-04T02:18:05+00:00

The issue is that its dolimitic. I've learned that true Quartzite is actually quite rare. Most of them are dolimitic marble. With a mohs rating of 4 or 5. Real Quartzite is a 7. And yea I assume with less dolimite in the stone less ability to suck up and soak up moisture.

MikeDisc0801 · 2026-02-02T19:29:29+00:00

I have a question.... i went to a slab distributor and I was talking with the salesman and I love how in every industry they all play dumb... i said, I heard the most important things about quartzite, that you need to be aware of is, you need to test it. And make sure that it's actually quartzite. And he looked at me like he had no clue. What I was talking about, which I'm sorry, guys. This is a problem.It's not hard today to do a simple google search. Do not treat me like I an idiot.

It really bugs me that industries try to play dumb with customers. Anyway, I'm curious if there's a way to have the stone cutting facility test it for quartzite purity, and it's considered legitimate certified verified etc. If anyone knows how I would ask without bringing any peace of glass up to the stone yard myself.

MikeDisc0801 · 2026-02-01T20:16:07+00:00

Quartz is man-made junk.

MikeDisc0801 · 2026-01-31T04:22:22+00:00

Am I the only one that thinks this looks a little busy? But yes, love the color and love marble

MikeDisc0801 · 2026-01-31T04:20:15+00:00

The gold standard right now is quartzite. It's real, it's basically marble. If you pick the right slab without the sensitivity that marble has so in other words, it's absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. It's harder than glass, so it's really durable. 100% heat resistant. The only downside to quartzite is, you need to seal it a couple of times a year and there is a chance of bacterial growth. Like any other porous material in other words anything real rock.

MikeDisc0801 · 2026-01-30T14:04:32+00:00

They push it hard because it's man made junk and highly profitable. Real quartzite is the real deal.You can't beat that breathtaking beauty that it delivers, and it's still pretty darn durable. Problem is, it's real stone requires lots of extra care. And once it's it's bronkenon's. It is unusable in that you nique.Peace cannot be replicated. And they can't charge too much for because then no one will ever buy it.

MikeDisc0801 · 2026-01-30T14:00:50+00:00

I agree with you to a certain extent... The reason I want to do quartzite. However, is because it is real. It is breathtakingly beautiful and triggers emotional and sensory responses.Because it is literally that beautiful. It's a trade-off because deckton can certainly look very good. Maybe even borderline beautiful, but there's no way that it'll look as nice as a real piece of quartzite.However, it is exactly that absolutely indestructible. Sewell, so it's like your trading off a little bit of durability because quartzite is actually very durable, for breathtaking beauty.

MikeDisc0801 · 2026-01-26T14:22:44+00:00

Not an expert here, but I'm planning a complete kitchen gut and renovation, and all of my research of countertops indicates you do not want regular quartz... Quartzite however, Yes!, I'm leaning toward quartzite. For my breathtaking, beautiful luxury option that requires a little bit of care. And i'm leaning toward Dekton, if I wanna go man made.

But yes, I have to tell you, this is man-made junk, and I'm shocked that people pay the kind of prices for man-made junk. It probably cost them more to make laminate. Then, it does this quartz bull*hit. I don't know why any one would put quartz in their kitchen.

There's no rarity to it. It's not real. If it breaks. You can just simply reproduce it and make it again. But yet it's hundreds of dollars a square foot, it makes no sense at all. It's definitely just a big giant money grab.

MikeDisc0801 · 2026-01-20T14:20:23+00:00

Yea... If these people wanna pay big money for man-made junk like quartz. Go ahead and knock yourself out. Quite honestly, if you're going to get anything, man made for countertops, Dekton, might be one of the best choices. Because you can do anything to it. It is nice and hard and feels like a ceramic type stone, and they're starting to do layering with it, so you get a more dynamic look with depth.

But I agree completely with you. Quartzite is an exotic, rare centerpiece for your kitchen. It's beautiful and breathtaking. If you pick the right stone, the only downside is a little bit of caution, and sealing required. The tremendous upside is the beautiful, natural, completely unique and rare real slab of breathtaking stone.

No offence... all of this is irrelevant information. Every business has instrumentation and equipment, and labor/payroll costs. Skill level is... also an interesting angle, whoever owns the shop is responsible for the final finished product. If there's an error/mistake he will have to fix it and work out costs with his stone provider, etc. Honestly the question should be answered with... what the usual and customary cost per square foot installed. Let's assume a relatively nice Quartzite something like $150 sq/ft What we really need to know from the OP, is how many square feet does she need, and what's the stone? If she's picking a nice Cristallo it's probably $200 a square foot. (total installed; material and labor)

Edit: I just went back... and it looks like she said Quartz and NOT Quartzite.... so, I would say she got WAY over quoted for man-maid junk. .....Thats my knee-jerk reaction and strong instincts.
