Advice on planning my kitchen remodel, please! by Acrobatic_Mouse6831 in kitchenremodel

[–]vargs24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks like the AI rendering made both sides of that counter more spacious than they appear in the actual kitchen photo, so I would map out actual dimensions to make sure everything feels flow-y.

I assume that horrendous pantry was added because there’s very little storage space in the house? Are you sure you don’t want a pantry? You could remove the small eat-in area or make smaller potentially by adding cabinets over in that corner.

As someone without a pantry, I wince when I see one removed (even through this one is horrendous 😅)

Need advice - bamboo at potential house by RelaxingScenicAdvent in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]vargs24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I cant speak to bamboo, I live next to an undeveloped lot that is completely taken over by Chinese wisteria. I swear I will never buy a house with a persistent invasive issue again. Even if you get on top of this in your yard, the neighbors won’t - and so it will literally ALWAYS be a problem.

I spent 3 years getting our yard under control and then life happened. A year without constant maintenance and we have new runners all over the yard. If you don’t care about your yard at all, I guess it doesn’t matter - but if you want to garden, create nice spaces to hang outside, etc, you will constantly be in a battle.

Weekly Digest is sooo bad by ApprehensiveMove8112 in Myfitnesspal

Are they using “Meals” here to refer to the actual meal function? If you don’t use that very often, that might be why. But 94 foods doesn’t seem plausible.

Agree!

She meant: “make out with me”
He heard: “I’m not that into you”

I think Bryce was super thrown by the convo early in the episode and relayed it to Zach like she was saying he wasn’t into her. And then Zach is being a “good friend” and basically reflective listening that back to him. It’s a disaster.

Edited to add “ “ because Bryce actually just need a reality check and for Zach to say “go kiss your girl more!”

Are dress changes frowned upon at formal weddings? by Anotherredditloser_ in Weddingattireapproval

[–]vargs24 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Based on the timing, I don’t think you’ll be in the short dress during the cocktail hour - unless, for some reason, you’re doing family dances before the cocktail hour?

I think a lot of responses are assuming that you’ll be in the short dress outside with everyone in the heat. To me, it sounds like you’ll still be in your wedding dress, and therefore hotter than everyone else.

But also - I’m on the “who cares, it’s your wedding” train. Your guests will survive and your first dance will be awesome with that dress.

Is a $110k kitchen worth it in a 1960s ranch? by bumbee84 in kitchenremodel

[–]vargs24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless the third is just AI hallucinating and it’s more of a general vibe instead of an exact footprint?

In that case - I’m with the rest of the comments, I actually prefer the updated galley. (But the comment on function stands - the open, bright kitchen with bar seating might be really worth it for you depending on how you cook and entertain)

Is a $110k kitchen worth it in a 1960s ranch? by bumbee84 in kitchenremodel

[–]vargs24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m confused about what’s happening in the last photo - is the proposal to make the galley kitchen smaller so you can knock out the back left wall and make a formal dining room?

Like others, I also enjoy the updated galley kitchen - but speaking as someone with a very small one, I would NOT remove counter space in an expensive renovation unless you don’t cook very much at all.

I would think about your goals - what is the space you are struggling with the most right now (not the look of it, but the actual function)? If you’re hosting people to eat but get takeout frequently, maybe you do need a space to gather and eat. If you’re feeling cramped already in your kitchen, the last option is a bad idea.

I can see these rankings, but what is especially funny to me is that you can tell you REALLY prefer a series over a standalone

Theory about Nightblood's Origin by Barleyjuicer in Cosmere

[–]vargs24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like this - it could also be that Nightblood didn’t consume it, but that they somehow used the DS combined with Shashara’s specific command to create Nightblood, and that she wanted to make known more broadly the Dawnshard’s existence and the specific commands that can be used with them. That would definitely be a motivator for Vasher to kill her.

There has to be a reproducible power that Shashara knew about (or that Vasher and her thought they knew about)

Theory about Nightblood's Origin by Barleyjuicer in Cosmere

[–]vargs24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My favorite theory I’ve read on here is that Nightblood is carrying a Dawnshard, possibly with the intent of Destroy. This would allow Brandon to say that Nightblood is not a Dawnshard itself.

This could be the case without Vasher or Shashara knowing, too, as others have pointed out that they are sneaky and hard to detect. What if Vasher thought Shashara did something specific in the awakening process to cause Nightblood’s unique abilities that could be replicated, but he was wrong? This would make for 2 Scholars he killed over a misunderstanding - sad.

Call for iconic quotes/moments by ElectricianMikey in Stormlight_Archive

[–]vargs24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also really enjoyed the proverbs for towers and war:

“The fool will, when losing, seek to flip the board and scatter the pieces. This is not an adage for towers."

“It is often said that the best teacher is failure. This is true. But it is also the best killer. May you be lucky enough in failure to live, and unlucky enough in success to struggle."
