Trying to solve the mirror issue

So here's my attempt at a "mirror." I just built a room in reverse on the other side of a Broker cage!

It was a pretty fun exercise in pushing what can be done.

Aqua Formica - does anyone know a vendor?

Hi. My home's original MCM countertop is way past "worn out." I've dug in every corner of the internet, and the best option I can find is Wilsonart's color matching, but even that has a faint pattern in it.

Is there a source anywhere for plain, solid-color aqua laminate? I really don't want to ruin my kitchen with a (shudder) white fake marble counter.

Permanent vinyl not sticking to painted surface

Hi. I generally use Oracal 651, and have never had any issues, but lately, it is barely adhering to painted surfaces. It's not any sort of crazy oil-based paint, it's plain acrylic interior paint. It won't even stick enough to pull off the transfer tape, and if I finally get it onto the surface, it comes off with a single tug.

Has Oracal had some company shakeup or sold to another company? Is anyone having better luck with another brand?

Help!

Chrome + Banking = Failure. How can I fix this?

Hello. I've tried searching, but the moment I try to clarify my question with the word "forms," all sorts of other results pop up.

My problem is this: If there is a website that requires banking or credit card information, it no longer works. I typed my information in manually, then I tried adding to autofill; nothing works. The pages lock up and will not proceed to any next steps.

There are no error messages, no error pages - the "next" or "submit" buttons simply don't work. I can back out of the page, I can successfully click other links on the page, but I can't submit the required information.

I can do it in Edge with no issue, but it is a pain switching browsers (though I might be doing it permanently if stuff like this keeps happening.) Is there some setting I'm missing? It's driving me crazy.

I'm Olympic-Ready! Woohoo!

I got all the events I'd like to see (that take place during the first week.)

Got tickets for:

  • Cricket preliminary
  • Men's and Women's rugby quarterfinals
  • Mixed badminton preliminaries
  • Modern Pentathlon Men's Final
  • and
  • Fencing Quarterfinals and Medals for men's and women's foil, sabre, and epee, as well as the women's team epee.

**---)----------------**o

I am the happiest of happy campers. I wanted to see the canoe whitewater events, but ... Oklahoma, and I would have liked to see BMX events, but I can't stay there through both weeks.

I knew going in that I wouldn't even get a sniff of gymnastics or the opening ceremony, so I'm not heartbroken over those. Doesn't mean I won't keep my eye open for contests and giveaways, though!

Now it's just scraping up as much money as I can and piling it into a CD for a couple years.

Raccoon cleanup in Macomb County/Metro Detroit?

Hi. A raccoon got into my house and there is crap all over. I'm not sure who I should contact? The raccoon has already been caught, so I don't really need pest control, and it looks like Servpro cleans up everything BUT animal damage.

Any suggestions? Please help; I can't keep my cat locked in a bedroom forever.

Not a single product available until next week?

I just went through 13 pages of results and not a single cable can be delivered until July 21?

What the fuck is this that I'm paying for?

Are any other countries putting out pin sets yet?

What is in my fireplace [Michigan]

https://youtube.com/shorts/wrWlWVbDmxI?feature=share

My chimney/fireplace was damaged from a falling tree limb, so it has been blocked off with tarp and styrofoam. About 20 minutes ago, THIS started. It is in the fireplace itself, not the chimney.

I am in the Metro Detroit area. I don't know how to plan getting whatever it is out of there because I don't know if it's going to fly out or jump at me or what.

HELP!

Alignment tool. I love it when it randomly switches relative targets ...

... and then stops working altogether.

Early MTV era rock song. Male singer. I remember the video more than the music "Addicted" is primary phrase, and perhaps the title

Hi. Normally I'm the one trying to help people, but this one is driving me up the wall.

https://voca.ro/19OGmwxNWpYQ

Very early MTV days, when they didn't have a lot of videos. This was in fairly heavy rotation. The setting is a dark room, lit sort of a puke green. Dangling from the ceiling are strips of plastic sheeting with random dark paint sprays.

The singer looked sort of like Tommy Shaw from STYX, but it definitely was not. The song lyrics I recall are "(be)Cause I'm addicted" The sound was chunky and very transitional rock, sort of like a modernized Bad Company? I want to say it was in D-minor, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

They showed it so often, and yet somehow I don't have it on my pile of VHS tapes of MTV footage.

Any ideas?

Make Market glitter vinyl - which transfer tape?

Just what the title says. Has anyone found a transfer tape that actually works on this stuff? It's a gorgeous fine-grain glitter, but I've tried Make Market, Oracal, Vivvid, and a couple of weird Amazon brands out of desperation.
