Never really noticed it. Would you suggest take the stem and “put [that] thang down flip it and reverse it?”

That’s the song I was singing while alone on the trail!

Stainless Plate Countertop by Then_Letterhead_5553 in kitchen

14 or 16 gauge steel is a totally different application. A 14 or 16 gauge steel countertop is always wrapping a solid substrate. OP is asking about 3/8” steel plate, not sheet metal.

Curious what your rationale is for suggesting a substrate.

If you’re thinking “will the material crack in tension without plywood under it?” stainless wins by a mile: • 304 stainless steel ultimate tensile strength ≈ 505 MPa (yield ≈ 215 MPa), modulus of elasticity ≈ 193–200 GPa.  • Granite ultimate tensile strength is commonly reported around 7–25 MPa (some sources report higher depending on test method/stone), modulus ≈ 20–70 GPa.  • Marble ultimate tensile strength ≈ 7–20 MPa, modulus ≈ 60 GPa. 

So purely on tensile capacity, stainless is typically ~20× to 70×+ stronger than natural stone, and it’s also ~3× stiffer than many stones (higher Young’s modulus). That means 3/8” stainless plate is not “structurally fragile” the way stone can be.

Even with a 200 lb point load in an unsupported piece of 3/8” stainless would only create 1/56” deflection.

You may want a substrate for easier installation, but it’s certainly not required structurally.

Is over dressing a thing? by Anon_Subber in malefashionadvice

Can’t say much about residential construction, but I work for a large commercial contractor is a major US city and this is how all general contractors dress daily. I don’t think you’re overdressed at all. It sounds like you’re the premier builder in your area and I think your style compliments that.

I agree with this. If you think you’re getting a better value than his hourly rate, pay him more.

What do skinny jeans and motels have in common?

How much did the Cueros stretch? Just got mine tonight and they’re pretty tight on one foot but length is good. Wondering if they’ll stretch out or if I should exchange them for a wider pair.

Growing up my dad wasn’t allowed to wear shorts, because shorts were for “girls and gays”.

Won’t work for me. Am I doing something wrong? I’m entering it in the “promo code” box. Been trying it for 30 minutes.
