I'm about to make some mountains into molehills if my husband hides anything else on the high shelf from me.

@Affekt

Cork stays warm naturally, so I don't think it'd work with heating, or need it?

But in a big coop apartment you don't really have a cold floor problem, The floors are always warm.

@neckspike

Cork is even more expensive, but not by much. However, when doing a NYC space the expense of materials is worth ignoring. Kitchens are so tiny that it's just not a big deal. Get whatever you want, you are only buying like 2 sq feet. anyway.

@orangelantern @totalclaireity

I guess the design challenge is to have a 5' person and a 6' giant use your space and both like it?

I find the rails on the bus and train too high up to hold without feeling like my arm is going to come off.

@jerzone

There is UI (User Interface)
Then there is UCI (User Control Interface)

I know it's possible to make UI so perfect that you forget it is there. Maybe that's why we get punished. We don't celebrate what works because ... the best UI is not something anyone ever talks about.

@keira_reckons

That was probably it. It's a very sensible material, not too hard, easy to clean, durable, last for a million years...

“I caught the RED DOT, but then it was GONE!”

This one is what passes for a cryptid story for cats.

I would love to see an 15 year old cork floor in a bathroom. (To see how it holds up. Not testing this myself, thank you) Globus does seal their cork, and I think this looks best on their colored cork. It's a bit like linoleum in durability, but more natural and less "hospital"

I kind of like linoleum? Why is it so rare in homes?

If you are thinking about "renovations" have you considered a cork floor for your kitchen? We put one in 18 years ago and I still love it. We went with dark green and yellow cork. It's so nice to stand on. It's like wood but better.

I was worried about water and cleaning, but for the kitchen it was fine. I'm now curious if it could be used in a bathroom (Probably not I think.)

Globus Cork manufactures these tiles right down the street in the south bronx. (not sponsored LOL)

Tall people have already ruined kitchens by putting everything up too high and then you forget it even exists.

Apparently one of the things driving the whole bathroom with no tub "trend" are tall people who do not fit in them so the tall people just get rid of the tub and have only a shower.

Excuse you I was swimming in there.

Tall people must be stopped.

Grab their knees!

@zombiecide

This is a tragedy.

Has anyone else noticed that YouTube has hidden the "skip to next video" button in a bunch of contexts? (in the mini player on desktop, in the big player for the first 30 seconds of the video?)

I'm so sick of updates to UI that clearly aren't about the user and instead are trying to get the user to consume content the way that the company wants.

Adversarial design.

@funkula

What is that? Like a little house with a frowny face on your keychain?

@beisbolcards

How are cats even real?

@jmax

This one is too scary.

"But there was NO food left!"

Another horror story.

"So they petted her FOREVER."

And another popular happy one.

Lastly for the more sophisticated fans of cat literature.

"But it was a PILL."

My husband and I have this concept called a "cat story" cats have rather short attention spans (for things like stories, and words) so cat stories are very short. Here is a very popular "scary" cat story:

"and then they ATE the kitty"

That's the whole story. It's very popular to tell around a fire while camping. Here is another "cat story"

"So the kitty ate them ALL."

This is a more positive story, obviously.

there are reasons I don't always participate in these things.
