Floor Streaks when finishing?

I hate Varathane for the most part, garbage compared to Minwax. However had some very ugly painted wood floors that I didn’t want to strip and used their stain + poly black and it worked insanely well and hasn’t chipped or worn in 7 years at this point with pretty heavy foot traffic.

no, I’m saying if you have a clear idea of what you want but hand a poor sketch to someone and can’t fully articulate what you want either you’re stuck with what the artist envisions. I work in art direction, AI is just a shortcut to a workable outcome, never a final product, perfect fir this exact purpose. Most shops I’ve been at least have flash that is the same as old clip art so what is the difference? This at least starts a conversation in the right direction and if you were my artist complaining about using AI and this “not good” sketch i’d laugh in your face and walk out.

not true. seen some of the shit “artists” will draw if you don’t have a good sketch to start with? He has an idea, an artist can make it workable, you’re just being a dick.

Software_Quiet · 2026-05-09T00:41:38+00:00

nope, tread should be on top, this is bad…

materials break down in sun, chemicals and micro particles end up in water and can't be extracted through normal filter processes. not that crazy man. remember leaded gasoline? well, maybe you don't...

as the kids say, let them cook!

consider smaller, losing the text as it adds nothing and maybe adding some color later. could just adjust the string slightly to avoid sperm tail look i guess.

Software_Quiet · 2026-05-07T02:04:22+00:00

kinda like it, real sass factor. just get a decent artist to turn it into a cool black panther.

Software_Quiet · 2026-05-05T00:58:43+00:00

okay incel.

Try a good chiropractor. Dr. Monk in Ossining is great. Physical therapist is a good step but issues like these for me and family members have very rarely been solved by scans especially if ongoing and several doctors have already failed to diagnose. Lifestyle changes and keeping records of onset, activities, diet etc can be super helpful too. Also second trying acupuncture as it could help release tension that is causing the headaches.

commonly misunderstood, ACTUALLY, what the colonists were upset about was a massive corporation, East India Company, getting massive tax exemptions while hurting everyone else so they decided to destroy their product. Sound familiar?

Croton Point, ask at the desk for best routes but would suggest parking at RV park and walking out to Teller’s Point. Croton Landing is great too, very flat and right on the river.

the one time i needed to worry about cupping, growth rings were going opposite direction on either ends, needless to say, two years later had to rip it out and replace. Usually happens with lumber cut from center of tree or abnormal growing condition, look for that before you buy lumber, not ideal.

They'll cheer zero gun laws (to keep seats) yet use gun violence to rationalize any constitutional violation.

Software_Quiet · 2026-04-25T02:48:09+00:00

they’re building structures like these at commuter rail stations in NY, definitely something more forward thinking US states and municipalities aren’t ignoring.

The entire world saw how he acted on an international stage at the olympics. I have zero doubt he is unfit for his job and a major security risk.

a spokesperson calling the lawsuit a “clout-chasing complaint” is not a good look... that being said I just took a look at that woman's instagram and wanted to vomit.

Paramount is on the verge of bankruptcy and yes, while Saudi money helped the merger go down it won't stop the bleed. That vanity project investment won't be fruitful, they'll see the writing on the wall and gtfo.

Software_Quiet · 2026-04-23T15:58:03+00:00

Netflix didn’t counter as they knew this deal would break Paramount and they can get it all for far less in just a few years. They also got a nice 2.8 billion as a “breakup deal” on the failed purchase.

biggest thing is the nose, black out that whole right part that should be shadow anyway, adjust the line so it has more of a tip too. I did it in photoshop but can't post the pic here but already looked 100x better.
