2024.05.21 18:32 Scribbles_ The Rhine river and the Nvidia CEO
"The hydroelectric plant is set into the current of the Rhine. It sets the Rhine to supplying its hydraulic pressure, which then sets the turbines turning. This turning sets those machines in motion whose thrust sets going the electric current for which the long-distance power station and its network of cables are set up to dispatch electricity. In the context of the interlocking processes pertaining to the orderly disposition of electrical energy, even the Rhine itself appears to be something at our command. The hydroelectric plant is not built into the Rhine River as was the old wooden bridge that joined bank with bank for hundreds of years. Rather, the river is dammed up into the power plant."To Heidegger, it is not just the physical flow of water in the river that is dammed and disrupted, but rather our understanding of the river is dammed. We are no longer seeing it for itself but rather as something within our control, something from which we can challenge-forth to give "maximum yield at the minimum expense". The Rhine is now the smaller part to a process whose essence has overtaken the essence of any one part.
"He looked at the granite. To be cut, he thought, and made into walls. He looked at a tree. To be split and made into rafters. He looked at a streak of rust on the stone and thought of iron ore under the ground. To be melted and to emerge as girders against the sky. These rocks, he thought, are waiting for me; waiting for the drill, the dynamite and my voice; waiting to be split, ripped, pounded, reborn; waiting for the shape my hands will give them"Rand is (expectedly) writing in praises of this framework, but to the view of Heidegger, this is a monstrous thing, the tree and the granite and the rocks are all robbed of an essence, an understanding of themselves as they are and transformed into something that must be ordered around to stand by for an endless process of revealing, regulating, and securing.
"Only to the extent that man for his part is already challenged to exploit the energies of nature can this revealing that orders happen. If man is challenged, ordered, to do this, then does not man himself belong even more originally than nature within the standing-reserve? The current talk about human resources, about the supply of patients for a clinic, gives evidence of this. The forester who measures the felled timber in the woods and who to all appearances walks the forest path in the same way his grandfather did is today ordered by the industry that produces commercial woods, whether he knows it or not. He is made subordinate to the orderability of cellulose, which for its part is challenged forth by the need for paper, which is then delivered to newspapers and illustrated magazines."But indeed, with the ability to challenge-forth culture and language and intelligence, man is made infinitely and completely subordinate to industry. And that, I think, we should never allow.
2024.05.21 18:30 chickenwyr r/discworld's community-built alignment chart day 21: Chaotic Good. The comment with the most upvotes after 24 hours decides the next character!
Welcome to day 21 of discworld's community-built alignment chart! submitted by chickenwyr to discworld [link] [comments] The results are in, and the community's choice for Rebel Evil is Reacher Gilt! Many characters were nominated for this one, but Mr Gilt was voted in over Andy Shank, the de Magpyrs, Wolfgang von Uberwald, Mr Pin, even Big Fido. Every day, this chart will be filled in with a discworld character determined by the comment with the most upvotes after 24 hours. This will continue until we have built a complete chart. Today's alignment is: Chaotic Good. For reference, this is alignment is for characters that would break any rule if it meant doing Good, and probably really enjoy doing it. Chaotic Good characters usually view rules as nothing more than limitations on freedom, and hate nothing more than tyranny, either in the form of a dictatorship, or sometimes just being told what to do by any kind of authority. Which discworld character do you think best fits into this alignment? Write a comment arguing your case or upvote any you agree with. Reminder that the non-standard categories of Moral, Impure, Social, and Rebel are, in essence, acting as stepping stones between Neutral and their respective extremes. For example, Moral characters are characters that have more "good-ness" than Neutral characters do, but not as much as a Good character would - they're sort of a halfway point. Think of them like shades of grey, or, if you prefer, whites that have got grubby. If you need an outline of the traits each alignment exemplifies, check out this post. Bear in mind these are just examples of how a character might fit the alignment, and a character doesn't need to match up identically to the description to be a valid choice! See you tomorrow for day 22! |

2024.05.21 17:51 Shinlary Decadent Choco Tray 6 Completed (NO Street Urchin, F2P Friendly)
I was struggling to find a team that worked without Street Urchin that also had enough damage to kill in time, and I finally found it! submitted by Shinlary to CookieRunKingdoms [link] [comments] Comment below if you want specifics as to how my cookies are built, but they all have mid toppings, nothing out of F2P reach. I only built linzer cookie for the Shadow Milk event, I bought her soul stones from the pity shop, so she’s the weakest link here. I farmed parfait from the master mode stage to get her max. Prune juice I just saved gems and summoned on. All of these cookies have hand-me-down toppings aside of prune and even then you could get away with worse. I don’t use them aside of random events like this |
2024.05.21 17:33 slutbotomy KIM in ThanK you aIMee
I feel very called out because I have the lamest slide show backing up a possible incorrect theory. I don't have any interest in giving her songs paternity tests, but I do have an interest in dissecting lyrics that I think were made for fans/gossiping nonfans and intentionally written to not look like it's always been about the reader, accept that it is. (She got millions of people to scream sing TIWWCHNT and it's true! She took away the actual look into her life and journey as an artist because it become a joke and new lyrics to attach to an ex). It's Me. HI, I'm the Problem etc. She got them to scream that too. Because they are the problem and the song sounds like she's being accused, rather than admitting.) submitted by slutbotomy to taylorandmatty [link] [comments] However, in light of recent events, make of it what you will. This goes along with the theory there is a TS brand(Haim sisters) and then Taylor(the girl in Bejeweled). I.E orchestrating PR relationships/breaks up to control the public as best she could. She feeds both speculators and haters who will side with the ex because they really do just hate her. (See Joe's Widows). This means that because no one listened when she begged for them to stop, she leaned into her reputations, feeds them, and makes money off it. Her NYU speech is also very telling about how much she protects her privacy and the introduction to Rep, which seemed to go over most people's heads. Taylor has been trolling the public for years and making bank off it. She, essentially, turned her reputations that were slapped on her (in the Bejeweled MV, the Haim sisters represent some of her reputations.) I want to say somewhere (I don't know) around 1989/Reputation, (WAOLOM says that she learned from them the public, what did she learn?), she's done this. How has she done this? She learned about KIM. Knowledge Information Media. She learned how knowledge is shared and created her own world for the public (nonfans/fans/gossipers, interlopers). She created the Bejeweled world in REAL LIFE using science and how the public interacts with each other to keep interlopers out while purposefully dropping clues to make them think they are special, and truly know her. The exes are in on this. They are compensated. She confirms this at the beginning of WAOLOM, the who's who are the exes, the public being the ones saying who's that?, are prepared for the attack and her hands her work paves their path. Don't give it clicks, but googling Joe Alwyn is all articles about how terrible she is and he's a saint. People are thirsting and he's got career elevation. Calvin, possibly Harry, Tom, Travis (there's MERCH. Cmon people)who knows. This is all how she intended. The end of the video, she rejects all of this as she REACHES THE TOP TS13 elevator that completes the castle (money/fame/privacy) she built off of interloper's stones. She wins the talent show and the only people clapping in the end are the staff, who are in on it. Then she let's the folks (public) burn down, but she keeps the castle, which is what she wanted. I think this means, she will probably admit this one day to the public and she will take immense joy in it, go back to her castle, and watch them cry? Well, tbf, all she allegedly thinks about is karma. She's look fearless era at the end of the video, perhaps this is a nod to when she last felt like herself and that's who deserves the castle. The main reason I think TYA is so important is because it's about everyone. Everyone who has poured over lyrics searching for clues about exes, everyone who has gossiped and spread rumors about her, everyone who feels like they know her and crash her parties, weddings, life etc. It lines up with the Cardigan OG lyrics calling her cage a bird cage. It was never about the actor, chaining her(great story to imply) It was about us chaining her. The public, anyone who dares look into her privacy. Who else thinks of her as a rare caged bird? Yea. Everyone. Even haters. They want to pick her apart too. And what happens in all the parables of caged birds? I encourage you to read the first scholar link, if you Google Knowledge Information Media. It's extremely informative lol, and helps with media literacy skills. KIM is just a red herring, to throw off interlopers. She's thanking the actual science of it all. Tldr; the play is about everyone. Probably should stop it. |
2024.05.21 17:26 Entire_Brother2257 If it’s hard to know how polygonal got invented, it’s even harder to explain how it is forgotten
Ashlar (square stone blocks) + mortar are both older and younger than polygonal masonry. submitted by Entire_Brother2257 to AlternativeHistory [link] [comments] Meaning, mostly everywhere (with polygonal masonry) construction begins using Ashlamortar to then move into Polygonal and finally going back to Ashlamortar. And that's strange, at least. It seems to be an evolution followed by devolution, with a recurring pattern, enabling all sorts of crazy explanations https://preview.redd.it/39nb7n1ess1d1.png?width=1064&format=png&auto=webp&s=e0e65a3d16cf1a5c6d54c271cef534eb786b324b Prior to guessing why polygonal technology comes and goes, is invented and then forgotten, debunk some common and wrong, assumption about the technique:
Here's how it could go:
That cannot happen in the early days of a society, because they are dirt poor and cannot afford to build polygonal It also cannot continue to exist in a more modern world, where there is some sort of upper-middle class (like the citizens of the Greek city states) and competition for power. Note that this might explain why polygonal masonry comes and goes, but does not explain how the know-how is acquired. A long time ago, in Italy: https://youtu.be/IJqq2LbFkkI Or just 300 years ago in Japan https://youtu.be/vA14_7kGUp0 |
2024.05.21 17:05 Citron92 Kill la kill: I spit on your grave (Part 44: Rat Bael and friends on the other side)
https://preview.redd.it/2zqfpqde5s1d1.png?width=1000&format=png&auto=webp&s=29b1992562a1e153df13dac76160202827dd888d submitted by Citron92 to Dbmlore [link] [comments] New Orleans, USA, April 25th, 1926 So looks like the waitress in that cafe was lucky enough to get enough money from Charlotte LaBoeff to buy her restaurant. When we left the cafe, we followed her to the real estate office of the Fenner Bros. and we waited about an hour, sitting on a bench. Every second I spent on Isaac's shoulder as a frog was me sunbathing, contemplating life, and daydreaming about torturing and murdering Nonon. As Tiana ran out of the office, she beckoned us to follow us. Tiana: Come along! I gotta show you guys! We followed her down the street for a couple of blocks before we found the old dilapidated building she was planning to buy. Only seeing the outside of the building, the Fenner brothers came up to the realty sign and removed it. Tiana: Everything looks peachy keen Mr. Fenner, and Mr. Fenner. Fenner 1: We have the paperwork ready to sign first thing after Mardi Gras. Tiana: I'll do you one better. I'll sign them tonight when I see you at the Labouff masquerade ball! The two brothers ignored her, putting the wooden sign into their car and driving off with it. Suddenly, an older black woman appeared behind Tiana. Tiana's mother: Table for one please! She was holding a big sauce pot with a red ribbon on it. Tiana: Mama! Tiana's mother: Here's a little something to help you get started. Tiana: Ah! Daddy's gumbo pot. Oh. Tiana hugged her mother and she spoke again. Tiana's mother: I know. I miss him too. Well now, hurry up and open the door. Upon opening the door, Tiana shut the doors immediately and both her and her mother began to hyperventilate. Something was terribly wrong. Isaac: T-Tiana is it? Is something wrong? Suddenly, a hole was smashed through the door by a big furry arm as Tiana and her mother ran over to Isaac and his behind him, screaming! Tiana: What the hell is that? Isaac reached for his plasma saw and turned it on. It whirred loudly before both doors were slamme open and a dozen of those rat-humanoid monsters barged out! Ryuko: Shit! Rat bastards! Come on Isaac, you can take them down! Tell Wiz and Boomstick who's boss! Issac: Oh I will. I'm an exterminator too on top of being an engineer! Nonon never seeing these monsters before put her hands on her ears and screamed "Oh my G-d" over and over again as Isaac ran into the fight with me and Buzz as frogs on his shoulder! Isaac: Mourir monsteurs! Isaac slashed through the horde, swinging quickly and broadly as he cut them down multiple at a time! He jumped high into the air and used his summoned swords magic to shoot two rat bastards, impaling them before clapping and blowing them along with any nearby rat bastards up! Nonon: What are those things? Oh my G-d! Gamagoori as a big bullfrog woke up and climbed out of Nonon's pocket. Gamagoori: Rats! The monsters Wiz and Boomstick created to try and slow Ryuko down so she can't save Mako! Come on! We gotta fight them! As Isaac cut them up, we saw two cheese pukers emerge from the open door, I called it out to him but saw a big mass of bricks on the roof. Ryuko: Cheese pukers! Don't let them get close! I'm gonna take them down! Isaac: Ryuko wait no! I hopped off his shoulder with Buzz and we hopped onto the wall, climbed up before hopping over to the mass of bricks, me and buzz then began to push them off all at once slowly before they all fell onto the stationary cheese pukers, causing them to explode! Blood, guts, and rotten cheese slurry splattered all over the street, the sight and sent caused Tiana, Nonon and her mother to puke. Gamagoori hopped out of Nonon's pocket and hopped over to the wall and climbed up with us. Gamagoori: I'm gonna help! Isaac! More are coming! More rat bastards charged at Isaac, but he began to cut them all down as they got close. The ones that tried to swipe and swing at him were easily dodge as Isaac was very fast. He dodged, dashed and even did backflips to avoid their attacks all while cutting them down with one swing of his powerful plasma blade! Emerging from the door once more was a big, muscular rat monster with crusty, disgusting fur with dead, diseased rat fetuses stuck to it. It ripped one out and threw it at Isaac, he dodged it quickly! Isaac: Tiana duck! Tiana, Nonon and her mother ducked as the diseased rat-humanoid corpse flew over their heads, mere inches from their scalps. Isaac then used his summoned swords magic again and threw two glowing blue swords into it before clapping and blowing it into bloody chunks! None of it's diseased biomass hit us or our human friends bellow. Isaac: That's not all... We heard a tapping sound, it became more rapid as Tiana, Nonon and her mother squeaked in fear and all three got rolled into a ball to protect themselves. Out of the doorway was the last rat bastard, but the most horrific looking one. It was as big as the doorway, it had six spider legs, it's body was a big mass of gray fur with two rat bastard heads and a human head wearing a crown in the middle. The human head was familiar however, with the burned scar over it's left eye and brown hair. Ryuko: Santa told me... Those rat bastards are from a mix of rodent DNA and DNA from Z-Zuko! That's Zuko's head? The Zuko head stared at Isaac for a moment before it's mouth opened up, revealing hideous, rotten needle-like teeth! Zuko head: Rarrgggghhhhh! It ran over to Isaac, trying to get one of it's disgusting heads to bite him, but he jumped around and avoided it! He whirred his plasma saw loudly before jumping behind it but before he could cut it's three heads off, the new rat bastard spun around and bit his plasma saw, holding it in place. One of it's spider legs swept Isaac's legs and he fell to the ground. It then slowly began using it's heads that bit onto the plasma saw while having it's mouths avoid the cutting blue blades press on further, as the plasma saw was pushed further to Isaac's neck, he sweated profusely! Isaac: You! Mon-steur! Rrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Isaac struggled with it before Tiana ran up behind it with a random wooden plank she used as a club and hit it over the human head! It let go and pulled back and turned towards Tiana, hissing at her before Isaac began to slowly overpower the two rodent heads still pushing on! The two head's teeth accidentally slipped on the blade and Isaac soon cut through their heads, killing two of them. Tiana jammed the wooden plank down the human Zuko head's throat but it bit down and bit the plank in half! Isaac's plasma saw then cut the human head off after cutting through the two other rodent heads from behind! Isaac then kicked the newly killed monster off of him high into the air before Isaac dropped his plasma saw, grabbed it by the legs and swung around with it like a track and field throwing ball before releasing it and it flew high into the sky, so high as a matter of fact that we eventually lost visual contact with it as it travelled so high. Isaac took some deep breaths before picking up his plasma saw, turning it off and holstering it on his side. Tiana: Are they gone? Nonon: What were those things? Isaac: You didn't run into them? They're the race created by Wiz and Boomstick to kidnap Mako. They're monsteurs me and Ryuko fought. If you want to travel with us, you better not be dead weight. You did nothing to help. Ryuko, Buzz and Gamagoori can't fight at their best right now because of you. So you can do your part or get out. Nonon: Yes sir. I'll-gulp try. Tiana: T-thank you for saving me. You are very strong and handsome! Isaac: Ma plaisir. Tiana: Did you fight in the great war? You are French after all. Isaac: Great war? World War o- oh... No I didn't. What year is it again? Tiana: 1926! Isaac: 1926! I'm only 26. I... I was 18 in- Tiana: 1918. Did you fight? Isaac: Errrr... That's not important. Anyway, I'm going inside your new restaurant. I'll check for any more of those rat bastards. Tiana: Thank you. Can you tell me when it's clear? Isaac: Oui. Isaac proceeded into the ruins before me, Buzz and Gamagoori hopped down a hole from the ceiling, landing on his shoulder. Isaac: I should of known we travelled back in time in this world. We're in 1926. I wouldn't be born until 1992. Ryuko: Dang. We're 92 years in the past. Yet again we were in the 15th century months ago. Gamagoori: What are you talking about? Ryuko: Me and Isaac going through these worlds, some of them are in the past, one was in 1482! This is the second historical world we've been sent into to find the next dimensional stone. Buzz: Interuniversal and time travel I see. Your civilization is more advanced then I thought. Ryuko: Well, it's magic really. Buzz: Magic! Interesting. I wonder if I can use any. Ryuko: We'll find out. Gamagoori: I hope you guys know what you're doing. Will the dimensional stones lead us to Mako? Ryuko: Yep! Sure will. It will lead us to Mako, we'll save her from Death Battle and we'll kill Wiz, Boomstick and their raping ringmaster. Gamagoori: I just hope we don't get stuck in the past. I hope you know what you're doing. Also I want to be human again. Ryuko: We'll get there eventually. Meanwhile, in the streets of New Orleans, Prince Naveen was joining a street band playing Jazz as everyone was surrounding him, the women were especially fawning over him. His fat servant ran over to him! Lawrence: Prince! Naveen: Dance with me, fat man! The prince took his servant's hand and began to dance around with him for a minute before he announced a proposal to the crowd. Naveen: Drinks are all on me! Everyone was cheering, but the servant grabbed the prince and pulled him closer to question him. Lawrence: How are we going to pay for all of that? You have no money! Either you go and slip out when nobody's looking, or get a job! Lawrence pointed over to a man behind a horse shoveling it's poop into a bucket. Naveen: Eugh, fine Lawrence. But first, we dance! He pulled Lawrence even closer and began to dance with him. The prince let go of Lawrence and he stumbled into the band and his head ended up inside of a tuba! Naveen: Ha ha! You're finally in the music! Get it? Because your head is inside of a tuba? Ha ha! Lawrence: Get me out of here! Naveen and a member of the band pulled at Lawrence before both the prince and his servant were flung out of a tuba and up against a wall! Lawrence: Agh! How degrading! This is... Oh hello? Looking up, a slender figure in a black suit and black top hat appeared, he had a top hat with a skull and crossbones on it. This man looked suspicious but he greeted both of them kindly. Dr. Facilier: Gentlemen! Enchante? He lowered his walking stick, allowing the prince to grab on so he can be lifted up. Dr. Facilier: A tip of the hat from Dr. Facilier! How y'all doing? He handed the prince a purple business card. Naveen: Tarot readings? Charms? Potions? Dreams made real? Naveen and Facilier began to walk around a corner into an alleyway. Dr. Facilier: I'm in the business of visiting royalty. Lawrence followed him. Naveen: Lawrence! Lawrence! This remarkable gentleman has just read my palm. Lawrence: Over this morning's newspaper. Sire, sire, this chap is obviously a charlatan. I suggest we move on to a- Dr. Facilier: Don't you disrespect me little man! Don't you derogate or deride! You're in my world now. Not your world. And I got friends on the other side! An echo was heard, saying "Friends on the other side". Dr. Facilier: That's an echo, gentlemen. Just a little something we have here in Louisiana, a little parlor trick. Don't worry. Dr. Facilier led the two to a door under a sign saying "Dr. Facilier's voodoo emporium", and once leading them in, him and his shadow sat them down at a table as Dr. Facilier high-fived his shadow then took a seat and continued his singing. Dr. Facilier: Sit down at my table, put your minds at ease, if you relax it will enable me to do anything I please. I can read your future, I can change it 'round some, too, I'll look deep into your heart and soul. You have a soul too, don't you Lawrence? Lawrence: Yes? Dr. Facilier: Make your wildest dreams come true! I got voodoo, I got hoodoo, I got things I ain't even tried! And I got friends on the other side. Dr. Facilier pulled out a deck of tarot cards and shuffled them before the duo as he continued to sing at them. Dr. Facilier: The cards, the cards, the cards will tell the past, the present, and the future as well! The cards, the cards, just take three, take a little trip into your future with me! Naveen and Lawrence picked three cards before Dr. Facilier took them and told them to the duo. He started with the prince first and continued to sing about his tarot card readings. Dr. Facilier: Now you, young man, are from across the sea. You come from two long lines of royalty. I'm a royal myself on my mother's side. Your lifestyle's high but your funds are low. You need to marry a lil' honey whose daddy got dough! Mom and dad cut you off, huh playboy? Naveen: Eh, sad but true. Dr. Facilier: Now y'all gotta get hitched, but hitching ties you down. You just wanna be free, hop from place to place But freedom takes green! It's the green, it's the green, it's the green you need. And when I looked into your future it's the green that I see! He then turned to Lawrence and read his tarot card results to him in a musical fashion. Dr. Facilier: On you little man, I don't wanna waste much time. You been pushed around all your life, you been pushed around by your mother and your sister and your brother, and if you was married, you'd be pushed around by your wife. But in your future, the you I see is exactly the man you always wanted to be! Dr. Facilier crossed his arms and expected the duo to shake his hands. Dr. Facilier: Shake my hand, come on boys. Won't you shake the poor sinner's hand? Naveen shook reluctantly as Lawrence shook with a mischievous grin on his face. Once they did that, the curtains came down and an army of singing masks began to sing as Naveen and Lawrence were suddenly bound to their chairs! Dr. Facilier: Yes! Are you ready? Voodoo spirits: Are you ready? Dr. Facilier: Are you ready? Transformation central! Voodoo spirits: Transformation central! Dr. Facilier: Reformation central Voodoo spirits: Reformation central! Dr. Facilier: Transmogofication central! Dr. Facilier then pulled out a talisman and clipped Naveen's finger with it, getting blood into it and initiating a curse with it. Can you feel it? You're changin', you're changin', you're changin', all right! I hope you're satisfied, but if you ain't, don't blame me! You can blame my friends on the other side! The musical number ended as Dr. Facilier danced around with the voodoo spirits! Voodoo spirits: You got what you wanted! But you lost what you had! Dr. Facilier then dashed forward on his knees before blowing, and everything went dark. Back at Tiana's new restaurant, Isaac emerged from the doors, me, Gamagoori and Buzz were in his pockets as he approached Tiana. Isaac: Good news Tiana, it's all clear! Tiana: Oh thank you! You're my hero Isaac! Now, I just need to make some changes around here, so I may turn this into my dream. It will have to wait. I have to eventually go to the masquerade ball tonight. Isaac: Oui. |

Quick Flip Go Water Bottle in the Tigerlily color. This water bottle has become a staple in my daily routine. The first thing that caught my eye was its sleek design – perfect for carrying on the go. The double-wall vacuum insulation is a real game-changer. Whether I'm sipping on iced water in the summer or a hot cup of tea in the winter, the temperature remains consistent for hours. One feature I particularly appreciate is the trigger-action lid. It's easy to use and helps prevent spills, making it great for when I'm on the move. Plus, the fact that it's dishwasher safe is a lifesaver. No more scrubbing by hand! However, there are a couple of downsides. Firstly, the weight of the bottle can be a bit of a struggle for those who prefer a lighter option. Secondly, the dimensions might not fit all car cup holders, which can be a hassle during road trips. Overall, the Stanley Quick Flip Go Water Bottle has been a reliable companion in my everyday life. Its combination of style, functionality, and durability make it a must-have for anyone looking for a reliable water bottle. 🔗Cold Steel Heavy Duty Nylon Cane with Rubber Ferrulehttps://preview.redd.it/v48i5gn34r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=64aac772c9910fa7f43dc2f916fb8b53b380e7fc I've been using the Cold Steel Heavy Duty Cane in my daily life, and it has proven to be quite the companion. The nylon handle provides an enhanced grip that makes it convenient to hold, while the steel construction ensures structural strength for long-term use. I particularly appreciate the rubber ferrule, which is designed to be slip-resistant, making it an excellent choice for uneven terrain or icy sidewalks. One downside is that it might be a bit heavy for some people, especially those who don't need the extra weight for support. However, the overall design and engineering of the cane are top-notch, and it gives me a sense of reassurance knowing I have a sturdy and reliable walking staff whenever I need it. 🔗Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel: Robust, Stainless Steel Outdoor Essentialhttps://preview.redd.it/onud1it34r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19aa78d8c58949aae696362f44a26b21b9da0dca This past summer, I found myself on a weekend camping trip and realized I didn't pack a shovel. I needed to dig a small trench around my campsite to divert water. Luckily, a friend had a Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel that he let me borrow. On the first day, he taught me how to use it. The edge was sharp, and the handle felt sturdy. I was surprised by how strong it was. I struggled a bit at first, but it didn't take long before I was able to dig the trench. After returning from the camping trip and reflecting on the weekend, I realized that the shovel had some flaws. Firstly, it was a bit heavy for a camping trip, and I felt it could cause strain on my back over time. Secondly, it didn't come with a sheath, which was inconvenient since I had to keep it in my vehicle's trunk, where it took up too much space. Despite these issues, I still appreciated the durability of the Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel. It was clear that it was designed for heavy-duty tasks. The edge remained sharp even after I used it heavily. The wooden handle felt comfortable to hold, even though it was a bit on the thick side. Overall, the Cold Steel Special Forces Shovel was a functional tool, but it could be improved for camping trips or situations where portability is a priority. 🔗Cold Steel Smatchet: Deluxe Edition for Playstation 5https://preview.redd.it/duzypj644r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4feb4a7502a34a0974f6539f3524c5dc9b0652ab As someone who thoroughly enjoyed diving into the Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III and IV, let me share my experience with this dynamic duo. The deluxe edition for Playstation 5 was a refreshing return to the rich world of Erebonia, where war hero Rean Schwarzer began his new life as an instructor at Thors Military Academy's branch campus. What stood out to me was how the game expertly handled the aftermath of the Erebonian Civil War and introduced new threats to keep the story alive. Delving into it with the improved RPG gameplay on PlayStation 5 made my journey even more immersive. Plus, the cosmetic DLC available with these iterations ensured that every member of my party was looking their best, adding a unique touch to the experience. However, like any other game, it wasn't all smooth sailing. There were moments that were a bit challenging, but overall, the Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III and IV truly delivered an engaging experience that I thoroughly enjoyed as a fan of the genre. 🔗Heavy Duty Cold Grease Remover for Effortless Cleaninghttps://preview.redd.it/u3w4xrr44r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c04c7764c1fb93b8481b812e63772b4366bf500d As a home cook who's always experimenting with new recipes and kitchen tools, I've found myself in a bit of a pickle when it comes to removing stubborn grease from my appliances. That's why I was thrilled to try the Shumanit Cold Grease Remover. Right off the bat, I found it remarkable how quickly this cold grease remover works. No need for a heat source or any harsh chemicals. In fact, it's effective on all sorts of surfaces - my oven, pots, frying pans, baking trays, stainless steel dishes, cooking surfaces, steam extractors, and even hard-to-clean vents. I've had my fair share of leaky packages in the past, but the Shumanit Cold Grease Remover was surprisingly well-packed. It comes in a sturdy plastic bottle with a trigger spray that's easy to use. The product has a delightful citrus smell that lifts the spirits while I'm getting my hands dirty in the kitchen. Plus, the grease and grime just seem to vanish as if by magic. However, there's one small downside to my Shumanit experience. On one occasion, the package was partially leaking, which made me worry about the condition of the other products in the batch. I just hope it was a one-time issue and not a trend. To sum up, the Shumanit Cold Grease Remover is a truly versatile and effective grease and grime remover. It's a lifesaver for anyone who values a sparkling clean kitchen. Let's just hope the packaging improves in the future. 🔗Insulated Stanley Classic Legendary Bottle: Perfect for Outdoor Adventureshttps://preview.redd.it/94c0sq154r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5e05bc9a8d38beb755f6ee94776ff2533d2ed8d3 The Stanley Classic Legendary Bottle is a versatile and durable companion for any outdoor excursion. It's been a part of my camping adventures for years, ensuring that my beverages stay the perfect temperature no matter the weather. The thick stainless steel walls not only keep my iced drinks cold for two days but also keep my hot beverages warm for up to two weeks. Plus, the leak-proof lid doubles as a cup, providing a convenient and easy-to-use option for sipping on the go. The 2.5-quart capacity is ideal for sharing drinks with friends or keeping a large quantity of your favorite beverage at the ready. I've washed my Stanley Classic Legendary Bottle in the dishwasher without any concerns about rust or BPA exposure, and it continues to perform as well as it did on day one. Overall, the Stanley Classic Legendary Bottle has become an essential part of my outdoor gear, and I can't imagine spending time in nature without it. 🔗Stanley Vacuum Insulated 1.5qt Bottle: Leakproof and Durable for Any Adventurehttps://preview.redd.it/hv1cfgh54r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=92c3e83a1e6ed9bde65bd49c95962c0425bd9025 For my outdoor adventures, the Stanley Legendary Classic Bottle 1.5qt Habitat has truly been a game-changer. This insulated beverage container ensures my drinks remain at the perfect temperature for hours on end, whether I'm savoring a hot cup of coffee on a chilly morning or enjoying an icy beverage on a sweltering day. One of my favorite features is the stainless steel construction, which not only makes the bottle sturdy and durable but also ensures it's free of BPA, a nice touch for any health-conscious individual. The double-wall vacuum insulation, another key highlight, works wonders in keeping my beverages at their desired temperatures, even in extreme conditions. However, I found that the bottle can be quite difficult to clean, especially along the insulated areas. Additionally, the screw cap lid, while functional, can be a bit tricky to twist off after a while, depending on the grip strength. These minor inconveniences aside, the Stanley Legendary Classic Bottle has proven to be an indispensable companion on all my outdoor excursions. 🔗Versatile Cold Welding Formula for Robust Bondshttps://preview.redd.it/4ogfz5u54r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c4866a573a4c06607a53a48abca3bb57ecd3aa95 Recently, I got my hands on the J-B Weld Original Cold-Weld Formula Steel Reinforced Epoxy. I was intrigued by the fact that it could serve as an inexpensive alternative to welding, soldering, and brazing. To my surprise, this versatile epoxy proved to be a game-changer in my daily life. One of the most impressive features of the J-B Weld epoxy is its water-resistant nature. I used it to seal a leak in my water pipe, and it worked like a charm. The epoxy's petroleum and chemical resistance made it perfect for my project, as it withstood various tests without any damage. Another standout feature of this product is its non-toxic and safe-to-use nature. I used it to fix my child's broken toy, and its safety made me feel more comfortable. However, I did notice that the mixing ratio of the epoxy is quite sensitive. One must be cautious not to deviate too far from the 1-1 ratio of liquid steel/epoxy resin and the hardener. A slight miscalculation could result in a weaker bond or the need for reapplication. In conclusion, the J-B Weld Original Cold-Weld Formula Steel Reinforced Epoxy is a must-have for DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike. Its ease of use, remarkable strength, and versatility make it a standout product in its category. Despite the minor drawback of the mixing ratio, the benefits far outweigh the inconvenience. 🔗Insulated Bottle for Long-Lasting Beverageshttps://preview.redd.it/hjiqws764r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=778b7036f610f7931a5d1bf47b1544b1da25f09e I recently put the Stanley Classic to the test on an outing to the mountains. This bottle is a true companion for outdoor enthusiasts, with its impressive 18/8 stainless steel construction and BPA-free design. The 1.5 quart capacity means it can handle all types of drinks, from hot coffee to icy coolers, and keep them at the optimal temperature for up to two days. The folding handle is a clever added feature that allows for easy carrying without the risk of it rolling away. One of the standout features of this bottle is its leakproof design, making it a reliable option for packing in a backpack or storing in a truck bed. The wide mouth also makes it easy to fill and clean, which is especially helpful for those who enjoy making their own homemade brews. However, I did notice that the bottle is quite heavy, weighing in at 2 pounds, making it more challenging to carry for longer periods of time. Overall, the Stanley Classic is an excellent investment for those who love spending time outdoors and need a reliable companion to keep their drinks at the perfect temperature. 🔗Portable Insulated Water Bottle with Silicone Strawhttps://preview.redd.it/l5lg54i64r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e07172bcc88a069950d96dd4cfb862f209f40f40 I recently had the chance to put the Cooper Stainless Steel Water Bottle to the test, and I have to say, it impressed me with its performance. The most standout feature of this water bottle is its ability to keep drinks cold for an impressive amount of time. I often struggle to find a water bottle that can truly keep my beverage chilled all day long, but this one did just that. The double-walled and vacuum insulated design does an excellent job of maintaining the temperature of the liquid inside. Another feature I appreciated is the leak-proof lid. No matter how rough I was with it, it never leaked once. The one-touch silicone push button locking mechanism helped keep my bag and clothes dry, while the straw was a fun and convenient addition. Cleaning it was also a breeze, thanks to the top rack dishwasher safe lids and BPA-free materials. However, I did experience a downside with the product - it isn't suitable for hot beverages. If you're someone who prefers drinking tea or coffee, this may not be the best option for you. Additionally, I found it slightly difficult to fit the bottle in my usual cup holders, which can be inconvenient during travel or at the gym. Overall, the Cooper Stainless Steel Water Bottle did an incredible job of keeping my drinks cold and providing a leak-proof, easy-to-clean design. Although there were minor drawbacks, I still enjoyed its benefits and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and stylish water bottle. 🔗Stanley 1.1 Qt. Legendary Classic Canteen - BPA-Free Stainless Steelhttps://preview.redd.it/fva5u8074r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=021a8e122aa23b47e0dbf977a9a0b77939f8066e I recently had the chance to try out the Stanley 1.1 Qt. Classic Canteen, a 18/8 stainless steel bottle that promises to be leakproof, packable, and perfect for outdoor use. At first glance, the canteen looks sleek and sturdy, with a classic design that makes it easy to hold and carry around. It comes equipped with a removeable carrying strap that keeps your hands free and adds a touch of style to the canteen. One of the standout features of this canteen is its non-insulated stainless steel material, which allows for easy packing while still offering a decent capacity for your favorite beverage. However, I found that the lack of insulation means that the canteen doesn't retain temperature as well as I would have liked. While it's fine for day-to-day use, it's not ideal for taking on long hikes or camping trips where maintaining the temperature of your drink is important. Another downside to the canteen is the attached cap, which can be a bit tricky to open and close, especially with one hand. Though I appreciate the convenience of having it attached, it would be nice if the cap were more user-friendly and easy to access. Additionally, the metal clips on the carrying strap can be quite loud when walking or hiking, which can be a bit distracting and might not be the most discreet choice for stealthily navigating through the wilderness. Despite these minor drawbacks, overall I found the Stanley 1.1 Qt. Classic Canteen to be a functional and stylish option for everyday use. It's a good choice if you're looking for a versatile water bottle that won't break the bank, but just remember to manage your expectations when it comes to insulation and noise. 🔗Corkcicle 32oz Sport Canteen: Triple-Insulated, Wide-Mouth Drink Container with Quick Sip Lidhttps://preview.redd.it/g8jdgja74r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5900642083119fc5f56b1e9d8f8477efab04f303 The Corkcicle 32oz Sport Canteen boasts a spacious 950mL capacity, perfect for hydration while on the go. Its quick sip lid adds convenience to everyday use, and the signature flat sides and Duraprene finish ensure a secure grip. Triple-insulation maintains drinks at their desired temperature for extended periods, making it an ideal choice for both hot and chilled beverages alike. A wide mouth allows for ice cube insertion, while the lid's easy-to-use one-hand opening adds practicality. Regrettably, some users have experienced issues with the lid's functionality and structure, which may prove a disadvantage for those seeking a seamless drinking experience. Nonetheless, for those seeking a durable, stylish, and functional water bottle, the Corkcicle 32oz Sport Canteen offers an impressive range of features. 🔗Versatile Insulated Water Bottle with Cup Lidhttps://preview.redd.it/ba7lnum74r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4236dde9fc2a1109edb6d8a02ff4d627c9fb186e This Stanley Classic Legendary Bottle, aptly named "Nightfall, " has become an essential companion in my daily life. The bottle's robustness and dependability have captivated me, as my newfound favorite keeps the brew piping hot during those frigid mornings or even chills your favorite beverage during scorching summer days. One of the key features that have blown my mind is its innovative, leak-proof design. By using the twist-and-pour stopper, it ensures that my adventures are safe from any accidental mishaps involving the bottle. Moreover, the slim design makes it the perfect single-handed companion, ensuring a comfortable grip. However, there are a couple of minor nits. The lid being insulated and doubling as a cup is a fantastic idea, but I found it a tad more tedious than convenient during my first few times. Additionally, while the bottle's sturdiness won my heart, it unfortunately lacks a wider mouth, which might make it a bit more practical for my soup-loving, chunky ingredients cravings. The Stanley's performance has made me believe it's not just about the product but also about the spirit of adventure it represents - one sip at a time. Despite a few minor quirks, it's a reliable bottle worth every penny spent. 🔗Corkcicle Star Wars Darth Vader Canteen: Sleek and Stylish Insulated Travel Drink Bottlehttps://preview.redd.it/xxibmox74r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6584f5a3f92b026e1f6c93d8578b4827c47490b6 Crafted in the image of the infamous Darth Vader, this Corkcicle Star Wars canteen is not just a stylish way to keep your drinks cool. The 16-ounce canteen promises to keep beverages cold for up to 25 hours or warm for 12, all thanks to its triple-insulated lining. Its stainless steel construction ensures it's not just durable but also perfect to use in any setting, be it by the pool or at the office. The canteen is equipped with a screw-on cap that prevents any liquid from escaping and keeps the temperature consistent inside. The ergonomic design and flat sides make it easy to grip, and its stay-put silicone base ensures it stays securely in your hand, avoiding any spills. My experience with this canteen has been nothing but stellar. The Star Wars design is not just aesthetically pleasing but also adds a fun touch to my everyday life. The triple-insulation keeps my beverages at their desired temperature for longer, especially during our hot summers. The cap is a great feature that prevents leaks and spills, and the ergonomic design makes it comfortable to hold. However, I wish the product was dishwasher safe as the paint tends to peel off after a few uses, which can be a bit disappointing. 🔗Premium High-Performance Goalie Blades for Enhanced Ice Skatinghttps://preview.redd.it/v6nom9a84r1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=47b008d8785f16fed2eb4304d81b2404921a0708 I recently tried the Step Steel St Goal Blacksteel CCM Replacement Steel - Pair, and I was blown away by its performance. The superior edge quality is evident as it slices through the ice with minimal resistance, providing sharp, fluid movements that make it a game-changer for any goalie. Designed specifically for CCM 2-Bolt Goalie Cowlings, this complete set comes with both left and right runners, ensuring perfect fit and seamless functionality. Made in Canada, the high-quality craftsmanship is evident in every aspect of the blade, from its sleek design to its exceptional edge durability. While the hardest possible edge offered by Step Steel Black is undoubtedly impressive, I also appreciate the added Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating on the mirror side finish, which significantly boosts blade performance by generating a winning combination of low friction and high surface hardness. What sets Step Steel apart from other blade manufacturers is their innovative aspect ratio, which accelerates pushes across the crease for modern butterfly and hybrid goaltenders. The taller blades and truer profile offer added stability, precision, and width, ensuring less bending or improper sizing upon receiving the product. Overall, the Step Steel St Goal Blacksteel CCM Replacement Steel - Pair is a game-changing product that combines superior edge quality, innovative design, and unrivaled performance. If you're looking to enhance your goaltending experience, look no further than Step Steel. Buyer's GuideWelcome to our comprehensive guide on the Cold Steel Smatchet.

2024.05.21 07:13 tab_rick Why is Countertop Thickness Important?
You know, when it comes to countertops, thickness is kind of a big deal. A beefier countertop can handle all the kitchen chaos – from your knife skills to those steaming pots. It’s less likely to give in and crack when things get tough. And if you’re dreaming of those fancy edges you’ve seen in home mags, a thicker top is your ticket. submitted by tab_rick to KKRsolidsurface [link] [comments] But it’s not just about thickness. The thickness can totally change the vibe of your space. Want to make a statement? Go thick and let that countertop shine. If you’re chasing a sleek, minimalist look, then slim it down. And if you ever decide to move, a solid countertop can be a sweet selling point. So, picking the right thickness? It’s not just about looks—it’s a smart move for your home’s worth too. 8 Tips for Choosing the Ideal Solid Surface Countertop ThicknessPicking the right countertop thickness? Sounds like a puzzle, right? I mean, what’s the usual thickness? And how does a solid surface stack up against natural stone? If these questions are buzzing in your head, you’re not alone. But don’t stress! I’ve got eight handy tips coming up to help you nail that decision and find the just-right thickness for your digs.1: Available Thickness Options and How to ChooseWhen considering a solid surface countertop, one of the pivotal decisions is selecting the right thickness. Let’s break down the options to help you make an informed choice for your space:Standard Thickness (1/2 inch or 12mm): Think of this as the classic choice. It’s adaptable, lightweight, and ideal for areas like bathroom vanities. If your countertop won’t face intense daily use, this option is both practical and often more budget-friendly. Medium Thickness (3/4 inch or 20mm): This is the balanced choice, suitable for the majority of kitchens. It offers resilience for daily kitchen activities without overwhelming the space visually. Thick Countertops (1 inch or 25mm and above): The robust option. Tailored for high-traffic areas requiring durability, it also brings an elevated, sophisticated aesthetic to your space. Remember, the right thickness is a blend of functionality and aesthetics tailored to your specific needs. 2: Choose Thickness Based on Functional Intenthttps://preview.redd.it/g31zkaebqp1d1.png?width=612&format=png&auto=webp&s=26532ece1ee014dafbcb7f8493397db34a002557Alright, so you’re getting a new countertop, and you’re stuck on how thick it should be. The key is to think about what you’re actually going to use it for. Let’s break it down: Light-Duty Areas (1/4 inch or 6mm): Functional Intent: These are spaces that don’t see heavy use but still require a touch of elegance. Ideal for: Backsplashes, wall panels, and decorative vertical applications. This thickness is more about aesthetics than heavy-duty function. Moderate Use Areas (1/2 inch or 12mm): Functional Intent: Suitable for areas that see regular but not heavy-duty use. Ideal for: Bathroom vanities, home desks, or laundry room surfaces. They can handle occasional spills and weight but aren’t meant for heavy kitchenware or constant pounding. Everyday Use Areas (3/4 inch or 20mm): Functional Intent: Designed for spaces that see daily activities and need to be both durable and stylish. Ideal for: Standard kitchen countertops, breakfast nooks, or home bars. They’re robust enough to handle the daily grind of cooking, chopping, and regular kitchen tasks. High-Traffic and Heavy-Duty Areas (1 inch or 25mm): Functional Intent: Meant for areas that see a lot of action, heavy items, or commercial use. Ideal for: Busy family kitchens, commercial kitchens, or workspaces in restaurants. They’re built to withstand the challenges of a bustling environment. Statement or Luxury Areas (11/2 inches or 38mm): Functional Intent: Beyond functionality, these are also about making a bold design statement. Ideal for: Luxury kitchen islands, high-end bars, or commercial spaces aiming for a luxe feel. The added thickness not only provides durability but also exudes opulence. So, when you’re picking out your solid surface countertop, think about what you’ll use it for and how much abuse it’s going to take. Whether you’re going for style, function, or a bit of both, there’s a thickness that’s just right for you. 3: Correlation Between Thickness and Design
Perfect For: Modern homes with a simple design. It’s subtle, doesn’t dominate the space, and complements clean lines and neutral palettes.
Perfect For: Traditional homes or spaces that blend the old with the new.
Perfect For: Those in-between spaces that aren’t super old-school but aren’t ultra-modern either.
Perfect For: Spaces that aim for a touch of opulence. Think high-end homes, luxury condos, or any space that wants to exude richness.
Perfect For: Perfect for those plush villas or sky-high penthouses. When picking a countertop, think about how you want your place to feel. Do you want it to feel cozy, fancy, or something in between? There is always a thickness that can meet your needs. 4: Durability of Different ThicknessesIt’s a general rule of thumb: the thicker the countertop, the more durable it is. Thicker countertops, especially those made of robust materials like quartzite, resist chipping, cracking, and other wear forms better than thinner ones. However, the material’s quality, such as solid surface countertops, is equally crucial. A high-quality 2 cm countertop might outlast a low-quality 3 cm one. It’s essential to balance thickness with material quality.5: Budget is Also Part of the ConsiderationBudget plays a significant role in any renovation or design project. Thicker countertops, especially those with custom edge designs like bullnose or half-bullnose, can be pricier. However, they might offer better longevity, translating to cost savings in the long run. It’s crucial to weigh the initial investment against the countertop’s lifespan and the value it adds to your space.6: Edge Styles Should Fit With the Countertop
7: Easy Installation and Light WeightIf you want a countertop that’s easy to install, go for a thinner solid surface option, around 1/4 inch thick. They’re lightweight and hassle-free during the installation process. Thinner countertops may not be as durable as thicker ones, but you can still achieve a thicker appearance by adding edge details. Just consult a professional to find the best fit for you.8: Easy to MaintainNow, let’s talk about maintenance. Solid surface countertops are a breeze to maintain. Here’s why:They’re stain-resistant, so spills won’t create stubborn marks. With no cracks or gaps, cleaning is simple, and crumbs and dirt won’t hide anywhere. All you need is a damp cloth and mild soap for easy cleaning; no need for fancy or harsh chemicals. If scratches or burns happen, many can be buffed out, and professional refinishing is available for more serious damage. You don’t have to worry about using regular household cleaners; these countertops can handle them without harm. In short, solid surface countertops are a dream to maintain. They resist stains, are easy to clean, fixable, and can withstand regular cleaning routines without worry. So, enjoy your beautiful countertops with peace of mind and less hassle. ConclusionSearching for the perfect countertop is like putting together a puzzle, where style, practicality, and budget all need to fit together. But fear not, with a little guidance, anyone can find a countertop that not only looks amazing but also stands the test of time. It’s all about finding that sweet spot where beauty meets functionality.Request a KKR Countertop Quote TodayKKR stands as a foremost manufacturer in the solid surface countertop industry, leveraging more than two decades of expertise in molding and thermoforming technologies.
