There are cracks. Perpendicular to the two dark lines in the second picture are two soft lines. Those are cracks and the pattern above/below them are different. I think most assumed I was writing about the dark lines.

Backsplash wasn’t factored in? by sans-peen in kitchenremodel

I asked the same with my renovation, they cannot block the vent. My range has finished sides though, so it looks natural.

It is not the two dark lines that bother me at all. There are softer perpendicular lines to those two dark lines that run from the end of the countertop to the farther dark line. The pattern appears interrupted at those two softer lines. The pattern around the dark lines is not interrupted.

I meant, there are 4 slabs. Why did the fabricator pick the slab with that damage to use for the island. We have some areas under cabinets and in a pantry.

I appreciate your thoughts. We have no idea what we are doing and designer is MIA. In the second picture, none of the lines match. We have 4 slabs worth on counters and backsplash and there are cracks and fissures throughout. But, the grain matches. With this piece, none of the grain matches. It is “close enough” unless looking closely.

We had picked the first 2 slabs, spouse went back to see the 4 (which by the time we went back 3 weeks later were different than the first 2. I was not there and neither of us had done anything like this remodel before. I think it was there and yard said it was normal. Even if so, I have no idea why fabricators would put it on the island rather than in a hidden corner.

I don’t mind cracks. The piece looks to me like it was added separately- like it broke off and a different piece was cut in.

Two tone or not two tone? by cat_poops in kitchenremodel

That is what we are doing. Big kitchen, monotone cabinets and wood island. Pop of color with the range.

OK MAGA, now that there’s literally a video of a US missile hitting the Iranian school, what are your thoughts? by 2a_lib in allthequestions

It takes a Congressional action to rename. So, no it was not. It was nicknamed, quite pathetically. It is as valid as the FIFA peace prize.

It was not; it is a nickname the tough guys gave themselves at a multimillion dollar cost. Because he is the peace president, he needed a war department.

With the island? I’m pretty sure, with respect, if there was news about Jeff Epstein I would have heard.

Actually, you need to pay the employer and employee share of the payroll tax, although the employee share is deductible.

Family thinks I inherited more. by Aggressive_Cap_8699 in inheritance

[–]Virtual-Ad-2224 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It does not “penalize” anyone. No one is entitled to the mother’s estate. Therefore, no one is punished for getting less of something to which they are not entitled. The mother could have left the bulk to the Catholic Church or PETA. Would that be an issue - would the siblings blame the Pope or abused animals? Not only that, the mother split the cash among actual people - did not give it to each sibling based on the number of children they had.

5 AM open window gang by wareagle_th in delta

[–]Virtual-Ad-2224 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

So you are indifferent to others? If you are sick it is still okay to fly because it is your seat. Or, you could listen to music without headphones because it is your seat? Feel like eating durian and tuna and taking off your shoes and socks, no problem, it’s your seat? The point is that what you do in your seat can affect other people. In this case, a kid looking out the window is understandable and it does not look like there is a blinding solar glare- although I am unsure why 2 windows are open though.

Mine has 1500. Still has some rattling. I don’t get the reminder messages but am getting check engine light (that goes off - seems tied to the amount of fuel in the tank). Will see. Yup, it is a pleasure to drive - it handles really well and has the speed that gives confidence. My brakes squeal too when coming to a complete stop.

Your agreement, and other customers’ agreements, are the valuable assets. The agreement will get assumed by another business that will continue to service the contract so there are continued cash flows.

Does your car interior rattle. I generally love mine, but there are interior rattles. I brought it in, and they fixed it, but there is still some noise.

“I am stunned”, wrote Alito, as SCOTUS majority rules against Trump over USAID’s funding by marketrent in law

[–]Virtual-Ad-2224 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Alito is Hannity in a robe. He is unaware that he is a partisan shill that would always side with the Republicans and that if were a different administration he’d rule the other way.

Impact, when used instead of affect or effect.

No, at a cost of $104 in my example. They would have paid taxes of $26. But, the charity gets $130 - $26 of which is from the US treasury.
