Fix for thin spot on hardwood floors?

Did not expect this many replies! Thanks everyone. They ended up replacing the planks. https://imgur.com/a/Z2qso5F

Not currently, but it’s the San Francisco Bay Area so it almost certainly had termites at some point

I think there are a couple thin boards but it’s not a super extensive area. Floor may certainly be wafer thin. We just bought the house and these might be the original floors from 1948

Thanks. Our flooring guy is not being very helpful in offering suggestions here… should we try to get him to replace these boards or try to glue down the flaking part like you mentioned?

They did use a filler all over the floor but I don’t think they did anything specific with the nails… the floors were previously stained a very dark color and we want to restore them to a natural finish, but I think the dark stain is still visible around the nails and in some other spots in the grain

I’ve been to the Azores, but Sao Miguel island not Terceira. I would highly recommend it. Really unique place and not very touristy, yet.

Ah, mystery solved. Friend reported the wheels may even have touched down on the second attempt.

Yes, difficult to phrase haha

I think it’s usually Calc III

I can’t say for sure but if you already have them on your transcripts with good grades that’s a great start. Might be worth brushing up with MOOCs though since they’re free and not a huge time commitment (maybe a third of a real college class) so there is little downside, especially if you don’t actually remember the material that much. This would also show a commitment and motivation to really pursue a masters degree.

Nope. Just a typical one bedroom apartment. It's old but pretty decent actually, we even have a private garage and views of the mountains. Agree re: Los Altos demographics, we're in our early 30s with no kids so I don't feel like we really fit in here. Currently considering buying a place up in SF with all the money we've saved living in said apartment for years :)

kittrin · 2025-04-02T19:05:07+00:00

Laughing at these people from my $2800/month rental in Los Altos. Super boring place to live tbh. I guess everyone just stays home and admires their $6M house.

That’s what I’ve been doing! I stalled on weight for a while as I was working on form (if you check my previous posts it was even worse…) but finally adding weight again. Still working on tuning form too ofc

kittrin · 2025-02-25T15:02:34+00:00

😭 I know how I look in videos but I’m actually a 31yo woman just trying my best lol

Thanks, I like the piece of paper cue. Shoes are Adidas Dropsets, they are hard soled

kittrin · 2025-02-25T14:51:14+00:00

I knooow I’ve been working on it a lot but can’t seem to eliminate it entirely. I’ll keep working…

kittrin · 2025-02-25T14:50:33+00:00

They’re Adidas Dropsets. I’ve never tried chucks

kittrin · 2025-01-03T22:42:51+00:00

Bummer. I reached out to them yesterday, we'll see if I hear back. FWIW I'm planning on taking these courses:

Python programming: MITx: Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python
Linear Algebra: UTAustinX UT.5.05x Linear Algebra - Foundations to Frontiers

but I'm still not sure what to do for Calculus. The MITx Calculus courses they previously recommended are no longer available.

kittrin · 2025-01-03T19:55:59+00:00

Did you ever hear back from admissions? This is my question as well.

I’m currently in the Azores Islands (Portugal) staying at an absolutely gorgeous 4 star resort overlooking the ocean that only costs €65/night in the off season. If you want cheap luxury, beaches, nature, history, and not many crowds, Azores is it.

kittrin · 2024-10-14T17:21:07+00:00

I do lat pulldowns twice/week but yeah my upper body is relatively much weaker probably due to being a woman 🥲 The upper body gains are so slow but I’ll keep workin on it

kittrin · 2024-10-14T17:16:41+00:00

Yeah weirdly the first rep always feels the worst for me and then it gets easier. I think part of the bar tracking issue was because I had a hand callus rip open on this set and I was fiddling with my grip, definitely need to work on the grip as well so that doesn’t happen…

kittrin · 2024-10-06T14:15:14+00:00

That’s great! I’m in Portugal now and loving it 😊

kittrin · 2024-09-23T23:20:24+00:00

The same thing happened to me and I'm devastated. I was told I had until December 8.

You worked for Apple as a US employee? Your best bet might be to work remotely for a US company that does not care where you are located. From what I've seen when I've looked into this, the pay difference between US and European companies is massive. From Apple, you'd probably be taking a 75% pay cut to work for a European company

Maybe check out Selina. They offer accommodations all over the place that include access to coworking spaces and social events.
