The type I used for my kitchen had tape backing and it looks like a similar hassle to install as what you're going through. I told myself next time I put any in that I'm buying a staple gun for the project. I think I can safely assume you've done it more than my one time, so tell me: is that a stupid idea? The biggest booger for me was securing the 18 gauge wire I ran under a window to the next set of cabinets, but I'm not against using a staple gun for anything that doesn't adhere properly. If you've got a better method please do share

Which other companies come to mind? I'll support them too!

Gorgeous. How did you do the glue up? I showed my wife and told her I could make the cuts and glue everything if she wanted to set up the pattern. I don't have an eye for that kind of stuff like she does What I've seen others do is glue up smaller (2x2) blocks, then glue those together, then glue those bigger chunks together until it's all one piece. Was that your approach? I've done standard cutting boards so an end grain one is next on my list

Dunno, I only use the Voyager app on my phone. Wouldn't shock me if there was a redirect though

More input. Just strange. I blew it off and moved on but if the same thing is happening to others even more aggressively then that's not okay

Yeah, that's on me. I didn't read the sidebar and assumed a community named similarly to "askreddit" would require posts to have questions

I've been eyeing Graphene for a while now but I'm not really a tech person. I fumbled my way through installing and doing basic tweaks on Linux Mint but I don't know the first thing about coding or programming. Is that kind of knowledge a must for this OS or is it more dummy friendly? And what's a good cheap phone to grab to start messing with it and getting familiar, do you have any recommendations on that front?

Sounds like I've got my next several weeks sorted then! Thanks for the mod recs, I'm looking forward to those games

A buddy who loves the whole franchise said he thought 3 and New Vegas were the best but the graphics were pretty dated. Now that I've actually got enough of a taste of the lore I'll go back and try those

I really enjoyed seeing all the different submissions each day, hopefully there are plans for more of the same because it was a lot of fun seeing so many different takes on the same theme

I never gave the Fallout games a fair shake until after watching the series. Played 4 and powered through the slow start that had turned me off of it before and ended up really enjoying the game.

So yeah, I guess you could say I'm something of a statistic myself.

I'm not really a tech guy at all and I let these nerds talk me into trying Linux Mint, I haven't bothered with Windows 10 for several months now. There was some frustrating troubleshooting at first but once the settings are tweaked how you like them, the updates don't negate your tweaks like with Microsoft. I'm sure there's a lot of functionality I'm not maximizing but I don't feel the need to. I got my productivity stuff figured out, my game stuff figured out, the last thing I really need to get sorted is why my printer is being such a wiener but I use it so sparingly that there's not much motivation to mess with that. I did dual boot for a while so I wouldn't feel overwhelmingly stupid when it came to Linux, so I was able to familiarize myself with the new setup at my pace and that helped quite a bit I think. No harm in going that route, then you can see what happens with Warzone before fully taking the plunge
