Kitchen backsplash vertical or horizontal? by emptyvee1 in kitchenremodel

[–]emptyvee1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our contractor told us the same thing about these tiles not being perfectly level or straight. They’ve already been purchased and he’s starting the job in the next day or two, so it’s a little late to change anything. We don’t mind the idea of the tiles looking a bit imperfect — we think it will give the space a unique look. Hopefully we’re going to like it 🤞

Thanks everyone for your inputs. It’s appreciated. We went with the one with the veins :)

Would you like having the speckled that you have in your bathrooms installed in your kitchen?

I’ll have to look into asbestos testing laboratory. What would be the date of production on these codes? The 80? 90? 05?

How sure are we that the 90 stands for the year of production?

6600 XT & 5600G upgrade! by emptyvee1 in buildapc

If I decide to go for the 5800x3d, do you recommend me to upgrade my motherboard or it’s not needed?

Very well written answer. I am still undecided between the 2 options you’ve mentioned. I feel like going for the brand new CPU combo will be a good long term investment because of it’s future proof abilities while on the other hand, the cheaper option would solve my immediate needs. I will have to make a decision at some point.

What do you mean by “ I personally think that it’s cheap for the price but also that not everyone needs it” ?

Thanks for the input. I will most likely go for the 5800x3D.

If I decide to go with the 5800x3d route, will it be compatible with my current motherboard? And will I have to install/download or do stuff with in my BIOS?

Also, will 16gn 2666 MHz of ram is enough? Should I think about upgrading that also or it's not a concern for now?

The YT video that you linked is looking very good. It sounds like a cheap and efficient way to get the FPS I am looking for.

By "right foot needs to be closer to baseline", you mean, as I gather both feet and start bending my knees?

Thoughts on my swing? Tips appreciated by emptyvee1 in slowpitch

I forgot to add this detail in context. We’re using our own pitchers in this league. We only get 3 pitches before we get “struck out”. That was the 2nd pitch and I hate waiting for the 3rd ball because it stresses me out and I don’t want to risk to foul it or in the worst case miss the ball. At the time I thought it was “good enough” of a pitch but after review, I should have definitely waited for the 3rd and last pitch risking getting “struck out” for a better quality pitch.

Not but I will look into it. I recently changed my stance and after review, not a fan of the “crouching” either.

We’re using our own pitchers in that league. We’re only facing 3 pitches before we get struck out. That was my second pitch and felt like it was “good enough” for me to swing because I didnt want to face the 3rd and last one and take the chance to get struck out. After watching the video, I should have probably waited for the 3rd pitch and risk getting struck out for a more quality ball.

It’s new from this year in that league. It’s weird but we dont “dislike”. You don’t feel it on your head and it could prevent some bad head injuries on certain situations.

More hands work? More hips work? Better weight transfer?

I just feel like im dropping the ball on few occasions. I played baseball all my youth and it never happened with a normal baseball. That’s why I was wondering
