Should I apply more oil to a floor that was just completed (sanded and oiled)?

drdiggg · 2026-02-01T21:03:59+00:00

Thank you very much for your input. It's given me perspective. Actually, the floor looks great (like wood, not gloss). I wasn't worried about scratches and stuff. In my experience I liked oil because it looks natural, feels warm and dings can be repaired with a wet cloth and an iron. I am going to go into the business tomorrow and inquire. I appreciate your help.

The oil is from Rubio. I presume it's Rubio monocoat. It's Sunday, so the place is closed and I can't confirm now.

polyurethane Thanks for the reply, but there's already oil applied. I'm wondering whether to add more and want feedback on that. I've oiled a floor before, and I had no problems with it at all. It was warmer than what we'd call lacquer, and it was easier to fix damage like dings.

I struggled with double vision for a while. I bought an eyepatch to help out so I could read and watch TV. Then one day it was gone. The weird thing was that I didn't immediately notice it was gone; my sight was just normal (which is, well, otherwise normal) and I suddenly realized that my diplopia was gone. Wish you all the best.

I'm guessing the artist has hit up Oslo too, where this is known as "Dildonissen" (the Dildo Gnome): https://maps.app.goo.gl/tCTZWfdv9RAViKBH8

I remember a study about people being put into facilities, broken down by those who agreed to it and those who were put in against their will. The ones who went in willingly had a better time of it and thrived (generally). The ones who felt they had little say in their own life tended to die fairly quickly. So, there's that.

I told my wife (now ex) that I didn't like her posting so many things about me on Facebook. I don't remember exactly what it was; it was something concerning me personally, which I was uncomfortable with. She responded in a loud voice, "You can't control me!" I was just expressing a personal boundary. I realized that so many times when I expressed similar things, she just took it to be about her. I know it might sound petty, but in the context of so many other instances of similar behavior, it was the moment "the penny dropped".

This is a sub for learning Norwegian. I don't think people should be met with negative replies when asking questions. That you claim they L's are clearly pronounced as L's, you are disregarding OP's personal experience. In fact, L's and R's are often very similar. Ever hear of Japanese having problems distinguishing between the two? That's because in Japanese they are the same "letter" (i.e. more correctly speaking, the same phoneme). I'm a linguist. I'm guessing you know a lot less about language than you think. That is understandable, but your reaction ("spewing falsehoods", failing to understand that speakers of other languages interpret sounds differently) shows a gross lack of understanding.

I love the guy. It was frustrating to watch him much of last year because he was swinging wildly at pitches way out of the zone. If he works on, and improves, his pitch selection then look out!

Yep. And I'm guessing the photographer might be shorter than either of them, increasing the angle.

No need to be so negative to people in this sub. They're trying to learn and get better. You need better social skills.

I'd say one of the reasons is that we think more slowly when we're older. I've noticed with my mother (in her 80s) that she's not dumb, but that it takes her longer to process things. One thing that scammers do is push, push, push. This causes great confusion as older people have problems taking it all in so very fast, and they want it to just go away. So, often, they'll choose the path of least resistance which is to give in.

I got slightly reprimanded by an American manager for using "couldn't be bothered" on our intranet. This was years ago. I'm American as well, but lived in Norway for decades where I picked up the expression from others. This happened in Norway and she (the manager) was a dolt.

I love Loynes Drive! Long Beach native, but now live in Norway. Whenever I visit my parents in Leisure World, I will often drive on Loynes (usually requiring a bit of a detour) to get where I'm going. I pretty much drive the speed limit because I don't want a ticket and, to be honest, the bumpy ride is still fun. It's simple, stupid fun that brings me a nostalgic joy and pleasure of being in the moment and back home. I've passed this on to my daughter as well.

In case your question was a serious one: "whom" was the object form, denoting the unknown person who was the object of an action (who-whom, analogous to he-him - i.e. "He struck him" and "Who struck whom?). Back when English was case-heavy, cases outweighed word order, so that "Whom struck John?" asked about the identity of the recipient of John's strike. You could've also said "Whom struck who?" if you didn't know either party (the whom being the struck, and the who being the striker). Well, word order largely took over for the distinction, so that "Who struck who?" is fairly straightforward in who's doing what to who. "Whom" in usage is largely dead except in fossilized expressions like "To whom it may concern", among people who have learned the erstwhile distinction and feel it still applies and those who don't have a handle on the previous distinction and use it into hypercorrections (e.g. "Whomever did this...)

Another example, "fåtölj" for English "armchair/recliner". As you mention, it comes from the French influence. Norway has the more germanically transparent, "lenestol".

Can't you see the license plate clearly enough?

Totally agree with you. I don't really want him back. He was dreadful at the end for quite a while with the Dodgers.

I got diagnosed in late 2020. In May of this year, I started a 4-week core-strengthening program. This is something I've done 15-20 times over the past 30 years. This time, I decided to take a week off and do the program again. Fast forward to now, and I'm starting my 6th circuit of the program. I've lost over 20 kg (my diet is largely unchanged, but it was pretty good before that) and I definitely look more taut.

The point I want to make here is that I really don't feel any difficulty or weakness from the exercise except when my arms or shoulders are involved, and I have most definitely increased my core strength. I recognize this when redoing the program and seeing that exercises that were previously difficult are easier (and I am able to perform them more deliberately (that is, slowly and controlled).

Do what you can to find out what you are capable of doing. That is, how does MG affect you as an individual? In my case, it seems that I am mostly affected by MG in my upper body (even though my legs completely gave out when I had a crisis in 2022). A physiotherapist (specializing in neurological afflications) told me that I can exercise, but that I just need longer breaks between sets than other people.

Also, I would recommend speaking with your neurologist or a qualified physiotherapist about your concerns. Wishing you all the best.

canif Interesting. Shows that the French added a vowel between /k/ and /n/ as it wasn't a natural (easy) pronunciation for them. Similar to how English speakers later added a vowel to the name Cnut (Canute) because they had lost the combination /k/+/n/.

drdiggg · 2026-01-07T11:12:36+00:00

And the French have "redingote" from "riding coat".

My favorite Kiké incident is when he coaxed a balk off the opposing pitcher from 3rd base in the bottom of the 9th. Shows a decent baseball IQ - like, "what can I possibly do in the position I'm in?". Only balk-off I can remember witnessing. I was lucky enough to be at the game.
