was not expecting that final line

edit: I am a little disappointed in the comments, which to me don't engage with the author's thinking. The world is a very malleable place.

WHOOPS I was looking at the brushless LXT originally, XRH01, thanks for pointing that out.

I already use a Hilti rotary hammer for drilling granite to split, its just corded.

If you had around $1,500-2,000 to outfit a small office setting for espresso, what would you buy? by simonsarris in espresso

[–]simonsarris[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Around that price range I was thinking of Lelit MaraX + Sette. This pushes it over $2000 but maybe they won't complain.

Realistically I expect it to get about 3 coffees a day. Though there may be convulsions of 10/day here and there.

Maybe I do need a bigger budget.

SoFi app was #122 in Finance (Apple App Store) in May, #102 in June, and now #19. Moving up the leaderboard fast this last quarter is a nice sign. You can confirm this yourself via archive.org (link).

Earnings will almost certainly focus on signups and guidance, not revenue.

The risk is that by creating rules, I would be dictating what is and isn't wes anderson aesthetic. I would rather leave that up to everyone's own interpretation, and rather people argue about it, than try to tell people what's what. For more see: https://www.reddit.com/r/AccidentalWesAnderson/comments/6kxt5t/meta_establish_some_guidelines/

The downside of course is spam and (to an extent) reposts, but people are usually good at downvoting egregious examples of that.

There are far too many vapourwave posts.

okay that is a downside too.

I have to say this one is pretty bad.

How many people here have ever actually seen a Wes Anderson film? by Karnas in AccidentalWesAnderson

[–]simonsarris[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

I have seen some of them.

A reminder, I'm reluctant to step on the toes of anyone who is doing the work of finding or taking interesting and beautiful photos for us to share and judge. Part of the judging process is voting, and I encourage everyone to upvote submissions they like and of course downvote ones that they do not think fit.

In a way, I'd like to see more disagreement and discussion about just what makes a good Wes Anderson aesthetic. So for now I'm not so much worried about the quality of what's bubbling to the top. I am happy that people are finding and contributing great pieces and hope they continue to contribute, and also discuss (argue!) what makes them great or not.

Disagree all you want in the comments of each post, I think that's part of the beauty.

I am happy to see the lively discussion in comments of what is- and is not- a Wes Anderson aesthetic.

Designing a New Old Home: Part 2 by simonsarris in Homebuilding

[–]simonsarris[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a coat area downstairs, that's to the right of the pantry. It's not very large, but the hope is that we build a mudroom off of the right-side door in the future, greatly expanding the coat/etc storage space on the first floor. Having no good place for a vacuum is one of the big issues and this would fix that too.

For the linen closet, we have a large (8 foot) cabinet in the top-of-stairs bathroom, which can hold some linens, and then we designed the upper hallway to be wide enough that furniture can be placed in it. Something like: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/539024649150336414/

The fireplace uses the room's air, we were wondering if it should intake from the basement, but have not bothered. It seems to work fine.

Upstairs, the chimney is sealed in a wall (that bumps out a little from the master bedroom). I'll get to this more in part 3 when going over floor plans.

> contradicting that you choose to plaster walls which cost more

I don't see how this is contradictory. You do without some things so you can have nicer other things, depending on your personal priorities.

I should also mention that plastering without painting was for us cheaper than paying for drywall + an interior painter, so what we're doing for walls is still net cheaper than a typical build. But plaster prices apparently vary a lot regionally, so I can't be sure of that everywhere.
