  • You might not even need them, it's more just an option if the unit wiggles around too much for your liking after dropping it in.

    Definitely don't use screws or nails! Glue should be fine but you might need a method to hold them in place while it dries. Masking tape would probably do the job just fine; in fact, you could probably skip the glue and just tape the blocks into the gap from underneath the countertop. The latter case would definitely require careful inspection of the cooktop to make sure you're not covering up anything important.

    The idea with the blocks/shims isn't to hold up the cooktop structurally, just to keep it from sliding side to side (and only if you need them, it might be perfectly fine without). The weight should still be primarily on the granite itself in all cases.

  • Disclaimer: I never installed cooktops but did have to work with the spec sheets frequently at a previous job that included kitchen design work.

    It's a bit dependent on the specific model, and if there are any load bearing parts of the design that would normally fall onto the extra 2cm of countertop the new one is expecting. You should be able to determine that by looking underneath for anything of the sort.

    I'd say in most cases you should be fine, as long as the flange covers the whole cutout, which it should in this case. If the new one feels loose, you could glue in some 1cm wood shims on either side just to keep it from sliding around.

  • Absolutely! There are several factors one might use to determine their favorite brand of motor oil. These include:

    • The reliability of products manufactured by the brand.
    • Whether the brand makes a specific type of motor oil the customer regularly needs, such as an unconventional weight which is not commonly available.
    • Whether the brand of motor oil is recommended by the customer's friends and family.
    • Advice the customer is able to determine after seeking advice on the Internet, especially on sites such as Reddit, which are widely trusted as a source of user-generated information on such topics.
    • Putting all of the brands into a list, then selecting one at random to determine the customer's new favorite brand.

    Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!

  • Do you think edgy 15yo fascists have that much attention to detail? They probably just put an arm up, giggled, said "based" then walked off because they didn't want a confrontation with anyone who would take offense

  • Financial stress, no, but there can absolutely be other stressors that come with such a job or make it otherwise difficult, especially if one cares about the quality of their work and the lives of their patients. Doubly-so if insurance companies seem to be actively hampering those efforts and make one feel more like a cog in a profit machine than an expert in one's field.

  • The problem, like with many things in life, is that there's a desire for people to place clear delineations on things for purpose of clarity and peace of mind, when it actually exists on a very fuzzy spectrum. I'd argue you do gamble a tiny percent chance of getting in a wreck every time you drive in exchange for getting places much faster. Likewise, were you to walk instead, there are unique risks and payoffs associated with that choice too.

    Whether or not the risks are well known or there's a decision to increase the level of risk is a little beside the point. There are plenty of people addicted to gambling who genuinely believe they'll hit it big and retire one day, and that the reward payout is inevitable even when it's clearly not.

  • Risk management is at the core of both investment and gambling. The riskier your investment, the closer it comes to just putting the money on a roulette position in practice. There are plenty of portfolios that slowly hemorrhage money and/or eat up any would-be growth via fees: those are your 51-49 splits. Also it doesn't matter if there's such a split if you decide to go all in and it goes belly up, however you slice that.

    If you do risky shit with money, it's a gamble whether it pays off. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the point you're trying to make?

  • 3.5 Their lawyer successfully argues that, while the AI is the product, the company shouldn't be held accountable for their product lying hallucinating because it would set a bad precedent for the industry

  • Then they'll get to 1) be paid nothing instead of a few dollars an hour, 2) be a drain on the taxpayer from funding+running the new immigrant labor camps, 3) get abused by camp staffers, and 4) still pick your crops
