I know this is the DIY sub, but I would get a few estimates to have the floors redone wholesale. Trying to piecemeal it will almost certainly look worse than leaving it alone. You can rent a floor sander and DIY, but they're tricky to run with no experience so you're likely to leave the floor wavy. It's also fairly expensive. Pros will be in and out in three days. If you do decide to DIY, the finish is applied with a lambswool applicator. https://blog.cityfloorsupply.com/how-to-use-a-lambswool-applicator-to-apply-floor-finish/
If the stains are more than superficial, the options are going to be staining the floors darker yet or removal and replacement of the affected boards. Both of those will require refinishing and the latter is for sure a job for someone with experience. I agree with vodulas, that looks like water or pet damage that has already had an attempt at fixing it. Good luck, those are really pretty floors otherwise.
I’m not sure what you’re taking issue with. UPS has twice as many union members as the big three combined. The Teamsters as a whole represent 3 times as many members as the UAW does in total. Perhaps the UAW has a larger war chest, I’m sure the NEA spends more lobbying, but no union in the country has a bigger hammer than the Teamsters. Longshoremen are probably close and rail workers would if they were allowed to strike. Also to say nothing similar exists in Amazon’s industry is to ignore the core of Teamsters membership, transportation and warehousing. I’m not trying to be combative, I hope the UAW gets to piss in Elon’s Cheerios on the daily.
UPS’s union is the Teamsters, and they represent twice as many employees at UPS as UAW does at the big three. The Teamsters union is an incredibly powerful union because they represent transportation and don’t cross picket lines so they can really gum up the works if they so decide.
I’m with the strikers and those still working, but Fain can shove his bible thumping justifications up his ass. The UAW is a secular institution, demands should be based on facts. I don’t need to see anymore of his grandma’s book of fairy tales to know what workers deserve. Fain should leave his personal faith out of the struggle. Pretty insensitive to the multitude of Muslim employees not to mention those of other or no faith.
No, that’s about it. Though you do move the knife spine to edge, opposite of sharpening or honing.
Now do stropping.
For sure look into any subsidies available to you and see if they make a dual fuel system feasible. In your situation if you buy a high efficiency furnace, it may never make economic sense to run the heat pump, but things could always change and it’s a simple enough task to find your break even (economic balance) point when fuel prices change. My current break even point is well beyond the temperature you would consider running heat, but I still run my heat pump in the shoulder seasons to exercise it.
Maybe more akin to trolling, nobody has that many bad takes.
This, Apple is shitty for not advancing a standard. Can you imagine if every appliance came with some proprietary cable so you would be incentivized to stay with one brand to minimize hassle. We’d never stand for that, but for some reason we as consumers didn’t demand standardization in this realm. It’s a fast moving industry to be sure, but I don’t really see how that precludes standardization and that is evidenced by all the non Apple equipment that has settled on USB.
They need to take a page out of the NSA playbook and spy with dignity and respect.
Elon gonna engineer the shit outta this thing. Nevermind coil steel itself varies by more than that before it goes into a die and stretches. It’s almost like he doesn’t have any background in automotive manufacturing. This statement makes me think Elon may not know what a micron even is. The fit and finish of Tesla’s current offerings seems to evidence it anyway.
I guess they make pretty good birds, but they really need to chill out a bit. I’m 30 feet from your nest dude, no need to dive bomb me.
Anyone surprised to hear another instance of Saudis being bloodthirsty animals?
Sirius/XM would like a little recognition in this regard.
Well, I see an opportunity for consolation right here!
Monopoly maintenance/lobbying (bribes): $8.41
I bet those business geniuses can find all kinds of ways to “reduce fees”. That is the number of fees, not the total dollar amount of fees.

Mark Zuckerberg is the least likely human on earth to be able to obtain consent. To paraphrase Chris Rock he created Facebook just to get friends after someone smacked him with a book.
