@npub1sfl…gczt granite: always in style!
(feel free to ignore this picky geologist rant...
Just be sure not to pic a slab with a lot of mica, it wont last. If a spot looks rough go at it with a fingernail. if you can pick mica out of it, it's probly not a good slab for a kitchen. I've seen those on countertops, i've even seen where they cracked along a mica vein, or worse, when they sold a slab of metamorphic rock as "granite". )

@npub1sfl…gczt I had that a couple years ago. Don't worry they have to make sure you're completely and totally *OUT* for that one. They have to be extra careful compared to something simpler like the colonoscopy.

@npub1xl5…wsca Folks sign up for subscriptions to support a creator or artist or someone. Monthly charge at the same time for all the folks you support. Sometimes there's a reward (access to something, a shirt, whatev) and sometimes not. Creators set the reward for any given level of support. It's an ok system but I guess they take a larger cut than they used to.
