I’m guessing this is the result of layers of slathering a fresh layer of finish on these tables. To be honest, I kind of like the look. Any idea what type of finish this might be?...
Urethane. The dark spots are big chunks of dirty plastic built up over many years. Lineseed or any oil doesn’t build up like this. You can see how much the surface has been raised from the level of the knot and clean wood. And how the dark spots scratch white like plastic. Also I’ve been around these a lot.
Polyurethane, a pretty common plastic, which is usually in a volatile solvent but can also be water based. Its very cheap and easy to apply. It adds new material to the surface every time and is often pretty thick. Oil soaks into wood and doesn’t protect the surface from mechanical damage. Its also expensive and difficult to apply. The low spots are where the decades of plastic have chipped away revealing the original wood. If you got a sample from the high spots you could count the layers like rings in the wood and figure out when the put the bench in.
Bruh I was gonna give all my upvotes to my grandchildren. What do you mean they dont mean anything? How are they going to live without my hard earned internet points?
I will say that one example for all is Abba’s “Mamma Mia” which I interpreted the beginning of chorus “Mamma mia, we are collagen” and the beginning of the second part of it “He’ll something broken hardly”. Don’t ask past me why I had to make it about intercellular matrix.
Something about monkies with lots of bananas? Dave’s got 330 million bananas and just got a few hundred thousand more. Hoarding is only bad when people I don’t like do it.
Lemmy skews heavy 30+ so most people here will never understand. But I’m right there with you.
The tickets you bought? Corporate Overlord sold 'em to you.
Never bought them, i can sneak into anything worth being at.
The tunes you bought? Corporate Overlord.
Never bought them other than physical copies direct from the label that only has 5 artists.
The venue you went to? Sponsored by a corporate overlord.
Never went, any “venue” I’ve been to was come and go.
The Beer you drank at the venue
Didn’t buy it, made and brought it.
the fucking merch you bought
Never bought it
hell, even the fucking parking fee you coughed up went to a corporation.
I go to venues through piblic transit so i can get intoxicated
You don’t get to enjoy music anymore without supporting corporate overlords.
I’ve been contributing to small fedi artists just because they’re small fedi artists.
You’re being an antagonistic asshole and you know it. And you use the term bootlicker incorrectly.
If you even want to talk about you insecurities that you project, I won’t offer myself because you already made up your mind about who I am before you finished reading this. Get help. Twat.
With the billionaires backing him, it’s going to be on us as individual Americans to make sure Trump doesn’t end up in the White House again. That means not just voting but talking with people around you, volunteering and donating
False as in too low? In 2014 both the mcdouble and mcchicken were $1 each. I ate way too many, but I could get 2 sandwiches and a large drink for $3 plus tax. Today the mcdouble is $2.79, the mcchicken is $2.49, and a large drink is $1.69.
