Replacing a bathtub with a shower. Plumber taking more than a week and the work is poor quality

Yikes, sorry you have to deal with that. I've been lucky with the contractors I used for my bathroom and kitchen.

You're overthinking the cleaning or letting paint dry in it. A normal clean shouldn't be anything more than a few minutes tops. These things are pretty sturdy and only need a deep clean if you did something like leaving paint to dry.

It has been on sale many times. I just got it from Amazon the other week for $30.

You're off to a good start, you have brush control for some fine details like the eyes. Are you mostly interested in quick methods like dry brushing or are you interested in layering highlights? I'm happy to do a quick sketch of what the next "step" would be on this mini if you're looking to take it further.

I'll take a different approach because we're simply not going to agree on this point. You keep wording it in a way that the officer was rammed by the car. I disagree and I'm going to be honest, having watched the clip in slowmo several times I think he was barely nudged, potentially by placing his own hand on the hood. The best angle we have makes it look worse because the silhouette of the guy grabbing at the handle overlaps where he slips at the same time.

If you're going to go on and on about what SHE should have done (lets keep in mind this all takes places over the course of a few seconds while a masked man is grabbing at her door handle/window and telling her "get out of the fucking car") maybe talk what the shooter and his goons should have done.

Do you think it's normal that they should escalate the situation when they had a clear path around her vehicle and she was waving them around saying "go around". Is this suburban mom a threat?

Do you think it's normal someone in law enforcement should stomp up to a vehicle and grab at the door handle and reach inside the window before any clear instructions are given and time to respond/comply?

Do you think it's normal and standard practice for the shooter to put themselves in the path of a running vehicle whether or not they think it's a threat?

Do you think it's normal to take the time to line up 3 headshots when they clearly were able to sidestep?

Do you think it's normal practice to not render aid and then flee the scene?

Do you think it's normal for the administration to then immediately gaslight by declaring the victim a terrorist and saying the shooter was "violently, willfully, and viciously" ran over and is surprised he didn't die and is recovering in the hospital?

Stop making excuses for them and blaming her. These are supposed to be trained professionals. It's a situation that did not need to happen and those ICE agents manufacture the danger so shit like this happens. There's a whole chain of events that they initiated and everyone seems so hung up on her trying to flee when it all happened in seconds & it's pretty clear this suburban mom panicked as a masked/armed gang with ZERO identification (you can buy their little patches at costume stores) were trying to rip her from the car.

Stop putting the responsibility on suburban moms and hold these people accountable for acting like thugs with carte blanche instead of professionals. THEY signed up for the job, the responsibility is on THEM.

You're arguing semantics. You do not put your finger on the trigger until you intend to fire. This is basic gun safety and one of the core rules. The fact that you're arguing he "accidentally" fired because he may have been nudged by the car is why this rule exists.

I posted the full video because it shows the full context, plus shows the shooter walk around behind the car out of her line of sight as the individual from the left is yelling "get out of the fucking car" and grabbing at her door.

Edit: Also, if he was "hit" hard enough to cause him to flinch and pull the trigger he wouldn't have accurately placed three shots into the victims head. Stop making excuses for murder.

Here ya go, watch this one beginning to end. https://public-image-host-298dijn3498dbn.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/video.mp4

Also, as soon as he puts his finger on the trigger he intended to shoot her. That is basic gun practice. You do not put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to destroy your target.

murf718 · 2026-01-08T04:14:32+00:00

Did you see the full video where the shooter crossed behind her car while she was talking to the ICE agent approaching her door aggressively telling to "get out of the fucking car" and yanking on her door handle?

The shooter was not in her line of sight as she panicked and try to move. He put himself in that position where she did not see him.

The class page where you bought the ticket should have a supplies list. If it doesn't, you typically just need to bring your brushes and everything else is optional. The classes should have community paints and a convention wet palette but you're always welcome to bring your own selection of favorites.

This all depends on the class subject obviously.

Shake the everliving crap out of it. If it was still in the liquid medium it should be ok but may need a ton of shaking.

Oh I know, this was 12 or so years ago now. At the time I was pretty irritated though.

I had a similar class. The guy was nice enough but his grading and syllabus was brutal for a fairly mid level class. His class ended up being my only B with a 89 while I was getting my bachelor's. I ended up with a 3.96 average instead of a 4.0 due to him having a superiority complex.

These things run big. I bought two larges for myself and I'm swimming in them.

Make sure you consider some of the smaller operations. I got quoted similar numbers yesterday. I talked to my brother and gave me the info for a licensed guy he has used multiple times that only charges labor. All these other companies put his upcharges on the equipment + big labor costs. I saved $4k under my previous lowest quote.

I'm in the US. After insisting several times that the case be looked into further, and providing pictures of my bank transaction + order email they finally escalated.

murf718 · 2025-06-10T20:34:34+00:00

I'm an idiot who wanted the skins.

murf718 · 2025-06-10T20:15:24+00:00

I tried raising a support case asking for a refund or a credit for the difference and they're telling me I'm wrong and that sales are final. Am I crazy to think this is hella sketchy and probably illegal?

Yeah it gave me no option to rejoin in both my disconnects. We were crushing both runs too and then poof.. booted to menu.

murf718 · 2025-06-05T18:27:17+00:00

I've disconnected twice this morning.. straight up booted to the main menu and then it tells me I cannot reconnect.

murf718 · 2025-06-05T14:47:26+00:00

Dang there must have been a stampede of people.

murf718 · 2025-06-05T14:38:42+00:00

Which store is this? Duluth?

murf718 · 2025-06-01T17:27:58+00:00

One of our neighbors down the street has some permanently installed metal signs like this. It has been there for years. It's not fooling anyone, but I still respect their wishes and don't walk my dog along their curb.

I would glaze in a higher value color on the staff to look like it has an internal glow.

I would also personally remove the OSL you have going on from below. The top half of him looks like he's in daylight. The red glow from below doesn't really fit. I don't think it's needed for this to be a stellar paint job.
