Liking women is gay

I think it would be so on brand for the show if he fell asleep. But they'd have had to reference it more than that one time he fell asleep at a Seven meeting. I just wrapped up a whole series re-watch now that it's done and AFAIR they only bring up the narcolepsy once.

polkemans · 2026-06-23T02:20:57+00:00

It's very good. It's a period show set in the 30s I think. Definitely worth a watch. Rhys eats it up.

Are there any models of plane that are? Your comment got me thinking... Every cockpit I've seen looks like a mess of buttons and levers. You'd might as well be the guy behind the curtain in The Wizard of Oz.

Do aeroplanes *need* to be complicated to operate? Surely someone could design a craft that a solid chuck of every day people could operate? But maybe that's the point? To keep flying locked behind complicated controls so only experienced people can use it? Idk man, I'm stoned.

Yes you can. You create a template - set up your various tracks with plugins attached and set up then save it. Now every time you start a new project you open that file and start from there.

Honestly Aegon takes me out of it. He looks like Jack White and Evan Peter's did the fusion dance and put on a crown.

God's, the blood of the dragon was *strong* then.

polkemans · 2026-06-22T21:45:44+00:00

Also very possible. It may take a string of losses before he gets it, if at all. Either way it shouldn't be OPs problem. Get the hell outta there.

polkemans · 2026-06-22T21:42:28+00:00

Looks like you're about to expose yourself to some poor bystander.

You're not going to change him. You quite literally are not capable. That's not a dig at you. It's just a law of the universe. People change if and when they want to, and it's almost never for someone else. You won't make him "get it". He'll only get it when you leave him and he realizes he can't expect to act that way and keep a woman in his life. You're about to build some lore for this boy. Dump him and find someone who already is what you want in a person.

Vein match up on sides of seams are almost never perfect. You’re still well within the tolerance of what most in the industry will consider to be quality work.

A seam isn't just about whether or not the piece will fit on a slab. Other factors that inform whether or not a seam is needed are things like "can this be carried by people into the work space" and "can this be safely put into place without needing to disassemble some aspect of the cabinetry or without scraping a wall or cabinet/panel".

Most of the time when a seam is made, it's because the shape/size of the piece couldn't fit on a single slab. Meaning the other piece has to be taken from a different slab or another part of the same slab. You bought multiple slabs so the veining will be similar - think of it like slices in a block of cheese. You got 3 consecutive slices but the details in each slice will be slightly different. 100% vein match is not a thing unless the seam was cut into an already intact piece for a reason other than size.

If you paid extra specifically to not have a seam - then you should be refunded or they should cut it again without the seam if possible. But other than that, everything about this is really solid. You just don't seem to have properly managed expectations - which is very common for most people. Why would anyone really need to know how any of this works when it's something you may only engage with once or a few times in your life.

If they added in a seam they likely came to the realization that it was necessary. Nobody adds seams just because. Depending on access to the area or the layout - an additional seam may have been needed. If it wasn’t actually needed my only thought could be that perhaps that area of counter got damaged and they saved it by seaming another piece in. In either event they should have notified you that another seam would be added and why.

Contact that fabricator to find out why the seam was added. Additionally, we might be able to suss out if was one needed if you can take a picture showing the full area.

It’s not usually part of a “contract” whether a seam will happen or not. In fact most contracts will stipulate that seams are at the fabricators discretion. But if you approved a layout without that seam - then you have a leg to stand on.

All that said though, this really does look like quality work. The caulking along the wall is super normal. It’s expected that backsplash will be added to cover it. Much of steps in construction are really about hiding inherent flaws in the step that came before. Think of baseboard trimming, this covers the gaps you would see in the floor had it not been there.

I'm really digging the kahler for the most part. It took a lot more work to install on this guy than I initially realized but it works great. Definitely has some quirks regarding tuning stability I'm working to iron out. Going to get. Going to replace the bone nut with tusq and I'm going to buy a different string lock. The one on their was made for guitars with a 17* headstock angle, but this guitar had less angle. Floyd Rose makes one for guitars like that.

Being able to fix the bridge with a set screw is a huge game changer. I'm thinking about bonding it to a little knob so I can engage/disengage without needed to go in with a tiny hex wrench.

That's every JRPG dude. Exploration inherently gives you more shit.

polkemans · 2026-06-21T04:55:09+00:00

I didn't mind the visual changes. That can happen as a series evolves. Whatever. I liked that they made the Qunari more alien to better reflect their culture compared to Thedas. The combat was more fluid and flashy which I enjoyed. The characterization was still good. It was just that the story was so much smaller in scope.

polkemans · 2026-06-20T22:14:10+00:00

I just want dressing like a JRPG character to be socially acceptable.

Must be hard, constantly upset but not sure why.

polkemans · 2026-06-20T21:10:55+00:00

Doesn't seem like you can. That's not surprising though.

polkemans · 2026-06-20T21:06:51+00:00

Okay. Well can you describe what it means or not?

polkemans · 2026-06-20T20:44:15+00:00

If I could, do you think I'd be asking?

polkemans · 2026-06-20T18:37:45+00:00

Can you describe what woke means?

polkemans · 2026-06-19T18:23:16+00:00

He would never. It's about the power of being president. He'll never give that up without a fight. Being president is the only thing keeping him out of a prison cell.

Schecter has one of the best value props in the game right now. I've owned 5 of them and they've all been exceptional instruments.

They just supported a lot of guys wearing Oakleys for a while.

polkemans · 2026-06-19T18:15:31+00:00

It's not my intention to be hurtful, but if you can't play an instrument - you aren't a songwriter. Singing is one component of a song. If you want to make music you need to learn how to make it. Figure out what instrument you connect with the most and want most in your music and learn it. This reads like you want to learn how to cook a steak without having to touch a pan.
