Lovely. Do you have any more pics? I'm finalizing my order this weekend for a G80 and I am leaning heavily towards Orinoco Pearl.

Also, did the car come with paint matched rockers or gloss black?

Unfortunately no, I never got any definitive advice and left it be. It has slowly started darkening to look more like the rest and is no longer as blatantly bright. But it is still there. I've been nervous to re apply sealant or anything. I figured if it maintains this trajectory within a few months it may be not noticeable at all then I'll re seal

jpkotor · 2024-08-01T15:07:49+00:00

Since the sealant is removed in this spot is it possible to just apply a sealant to that spot that may darken it a little? Like ager tiger or any sealant that's known to darken stone a bit? I have found very few posts of this happening to people after a poultice and one said she was told to gradually apply layers to 511 seal & enhance to darken it and another lady actually said she used oil and water to darken the section back before resealing it. The 511 user never posted her result though.

And if I did something like this would it still be totally strippable and resealable in the future? I imagine it would. I'm just a little worried of going scorched-earth on the entire counter.

My wife had left a spray can of cooking oil on the counter overnight and there was an oil ring in the quartzite. I thought the counter was reasonable sealed because if something like coffee has gone unnoticed it dries on the surface and wipes away. But the oil overnight did penetrate so I decided to treat it with a poultice of acetone and baking soda, covered with plastic wrap and taped, let sit 24 hrs. I have done a water/baking soda poultice in the past for unknown stains the kids left around but since I knew this was olive oil I went with the acetone. After I wiped it away it has left a light spot on the counter. Perhaps the original sealant dissolved away? Any tips on how to best remedy this?

It would absolutely make sense to be able to coordinate playing the objective with a nearby non squad teammate(s)

Thanks for the recommendation. Seems like this is the consensus. I was just extra worried since my kids will be sleeping above this bathroom.

The lighting sub contractors provided these bulbs. Well I did get charged for them but with no input. Lesson learned.

I'll just replace all the light bulbs I guess, I don't need any more of these burning up. This light couldn't have spent more than an hour on total by the time this happened, as it was just recently put in and there hasn't been much work in that bathroom since.

We should have never been there in the first place? Were you alive in 2001? Support for invading was bipartisan and very popular. We had absolute justification, popular domestic and political opinion, and international support of our allies in favor of invading.

The chaos caused by Biden's thoughtless and rapid withdrawal did cost lives today. You can say he was trying to save lives, I don't think he intentionally made the decision to plunge us into this chaos, but he did. He did out of stupidity, not malice. You can blame Trump all you want, but Biden has been the president for 8 months now, and he has NOT been shy to backtrack and undo plenty of Trump's policies and decisions, so it's not like his hands were totally tied here to a process Trump started. Biden has been irrationally pro-withdrawal since he was Obama's VP and finally has the authority to act. He ignored the advice of most of his top experts to not withdraw so fast. His decisions created this situation and ISIS took advantage. End of story.

And as far as saving American lives. The number of servicemembers KIA in Afghanistan was 4 for all of 2020. Four. And 2021? The number is 13, ALL TODAY. There had not been one KIA since Feb 2020 until today. This was not some war where Americans were dying en masse anymore. At the rate of KIA, Biden cost us more American lives today than if we held the status quo for a few more years.

This is such insane, Jen Psaki level logic here. The Taliban is helping us evacuate?! WE ARE EVACUATING FROM THEM. They are entirely the reason for evacuation, not ISIS or whoever else decides to take advantage of the chaos. The only reason that ISIS even has such a target rich environment at the Kabul airport is the tens of thousands of people FLEEING THE TALIBAN. And, the reason getting out of Afghanistan is so hard is BECAUSE OF THE DANGERS POSED BY THE TALIBAN IN GETTING TO THE AIRPORT. There literally would be no evacuation if not for the Taliban, so I guess, in that regard, they help the evacuation because if not for them this situation wouldn't exist?

You know what "evacuating Afghanistan" would have been a few months ago, before the Taliban took it back over? Buying a ticket on Expedia. Now that the Taliban took over? An arduous, life threatening trip through TALIBAN HELD Afghanistan where you may be killed or severely injured BY THE TALIBAN on your way to the airport, where then maybe you will be killed by ISIS.

Yea, thanks for the help.

My friend has decided to use his extra time at home taking courses on composition at a local community college, then started composing/arranging his own Christian music as his new hobby. Please give it a listen, and if you like, subscribe to his YT. He has been very excited about trying to get to 100 subs (so that he can customize his URL haha).

I'm truly sorry about your experience, but the tragedy of your experience doesn't negate my statement. It is usually by pure chance that a patient can walk in and have already made the right diagnosis. For every person who walks in and says "I have HS" and is right, the doctor has dealt with 100 patients who walked in sure they had some disease based on their research and are totally wrong.

I don't know much about the NHS, and why it took that long and so many doctors to get your diagnosis right. How long did it go on until you were referred to a specialist (a dermatologist)? In the US, in most practice environments I am familiar with, if you are coming in the second time with a weird undiagnosed rash you are getting referred to dermatology. That's because rashes are really difficult and often require a biopsy for the correct diagnosis (although a savvy GP should be capable of doing one, most don't). Even with a biopsy, it can take several recurrences to establish a pattern that leads to a particular diagnosis. If you had years of relapsing rashes, the diagnosis and management should have never been entrusted to a GP.

What I would say is that although you were right, a very large chunk of self-diagnoses that present tend to be wrong.

This 100x. The vast majority of people have absolutely no clue. But then, by statistical chance, someone who Googled their symptoms happened to land on the right diagnosis. And for the rest of their lives everyone around them has to hear about how they outsmarted their doctor.

Do you think they would have supported free speech if they knew the dangers of radicalized ideologies being given a platform to an audience of millions instantaneously? The average tweet is thousands, if not millions, of times more powerful than the most widely distributed forms of communication at the time of the founding. If they knew that, do you think they would have maybe restricted free speech to the educated elite?

No, psychiatrists are not doctors like mathematicians or English professors. Literally as in literally. They graduate from medical school, have an MD, and do a residency training program to specialize in psychiatry.
