What are the most popular materials for kitchen countertops?

The popularity of materials for kitchen countertops can vary based on factors like durability, aesthetics, and cost. Here are some of the most popular materials:

Granite: Granite countertops offer natural beauty and durability. They come in a variety of colors and patterns, making them suitable for various kitchen designs.

Quartz: Quartz countertops are engineered stone surfaces made from quartz crystals and resin. They are non-porous, easy to maintain, and come in a wide range of colors and patterns.

Marble: Marble countertops provide an elegant and timeless look to the kitchen. However, they are more prone to staining and scratching compared to other materials.

Solid Surface: Solid surface countertops, like Corian, are made from acrylic and polyester materials. They offer seamless installation, and easy maintenance, and come in a variety of colors and designs.

Butcher Block: Butcher block countertops add warmth and a rustic charm to the kitchen. They are made from wood, usually maple, oak, or walnut, and require regular maintenance to prevent damage from moisture and heat.

Concrete: Concrete countertops offer a modern and industrial aesthetic. They are customizable in terms of color and texture but require sealing to prevent staining and cracking.

Stainless Steel: Stainless steel countertops are durable, heat-resistant, and easy to clean, making them ideal for busy kitchens. They provide a sleek and contemporary look.

Each material has its advantages and considerations, so it's essential to assess your needs and preferences before choosing the right countertop material for your kitchen.

I have seen a bunch of positivity/appreciation/whatever for fanwriters/artists but like. remember to appreciate your scanlators/translators. like the scanlating scene is not what it used to be because the official sources have picked up lot of like. popular mangas but you still rely on scanlators etc for more niche works and... I used to do lot of scanlating and I don't think I EVER got a positive comment or any appreciation and like... at least when I write and share my unhinged fic or art I made it to amuse myself but if I am scanlating a comic I already can read it obviously so ANY work I am putting in is 100% for other people... I have literally scanlated whole-ass series because I knew ONE person read them at all and I wanted them to experience a series I liked. If people don't like your work tho why would anyone do it then?

Himbo Clark Kent?

DISAGREE STRONGLY.

he's got an incredibly keen mind both in and out of the caped costume. if anything, he has to cultivate an even smarter reputation as a reporter than as superman, to explain why he's always conveniently at every disaster site before lois or anyone else hears about it— and he has to back up his sources legitimately instead of admitting he has super-hearing and xray vision, too!

it also doesn't benefit him to look dumb as superman, either, because he wants people to feel safe when he's around and trust that he won't make a mistake when he's about to catch a falling airplane. i think his foes regularly underestimate his intelligence, but that's more indicative of their egos (especially lex) than it is of his reputation.

plus, superman's enemies are kind of obligated to present logic puzzles for him more often than not as a basic narrative requirement, because superman can brute force his way through any other problem. it's most challenging for superman and interesting for the audience to see him in triage mode, running those ultrafast mental calculations to save as many people as fast as possible.

I don't mind thirst posts about Miguel O'Hara but I hate how A LOT of people are throwing the "sexy and seductive Latino" stereotype on him in every single self insert fanfiction I see. It is getting weird specially if the people in question are white.

Not only it's bordering fetishization but it's also out of character for him to be a sexual person. This guy is an emotionally constipated asshole (similar in a Bruce Wayne way). A lovable one, but still an asshole. He's ALWAYS reluctant to show his feelings, let alone in physical affection. He's not a romantic or a flirty man.

I probably sound crazy right now but I had to get that out of my chest.

I've already talked about characters which personally just don't do it for me but let's switch that and let me talk about man I wish would be talked more about when people talk about their anime husbands (I could quite literally make 20 posts like this so those are the ones that just popped up first in my mind):

Sometimes I think about the fact that we’ve seen Purple seven times since episode 30 but we’ve only seen King three times.

Sometimes I think about the fact that every time we’ve seen King since episode 30 he’s in a context he’d have no reason to be in if not for Purple also being there.

Sometimes I think about the fact that since episode 30 we’ve seen Purple without King but we’ve yet to see King without Purple.

Not a serious complaint. Just an observation.

It's kinda weird how there are interpretations of Momo being an outcast or unpopular? I think she is plenty popular at school, isn't she?

Okarun knew her name even without her introducing herself or being in the same class as he.

Momo's mere presence scared off Okarun's bullies instantly.

It's also implied that boys believe she is "out of reach" until the rumor about her being a slut made them think otherwise.

Also, gyarus are often presented as really popular at school or the mean girls, but never an outcast. So I'm just so confused where the "outcast" and "unpopular" interpretations came from.

i left out the road through the wall because it doesn't really have any single main protagonist. and i know orianna isn't really the only female protag in the sundial but she is my favorite of its main women and this is my poll lol

Edit: i would like to formally apologize to ms. angela motorman, who, had she been included, would surely have swept. sorry, queen

Every time a woman rejects Melkor, Mairon has to turn into said unlucky lady later so Melkor can fuck "her" anyway

Hey, sorry if you've been asked this before... Have you created any original villains for J'jonn to fight?

No worries, I haven't been asked this! And no! I have not! In fact, I have yet to create an original character at all in all of my martian lore or jl remix stuff except maybe two characters. For J'onn, I named his stillborn child In'dra because I wanted to save K'hym as a character for later. I know J'onn's had other kids like T'ania, J'ordan, or Shayne that I could've referenced but I wanted an eastern sounding Martian name for once haha

The other is Lois Liando's first dad, Yunus Liando! I distanced him from Sam Lane for plot reasons, as I wanted Lois' backstory to be separate from the military and more focused on being an immigrant escaping political turmoil. Both characters aren't alive in the current timeline and mostly exist for backstory purposes. I try to revitalize existing characters before making OCs of my own because I love the challenge of making them work, hehe.

God I can’t wait for Lodge Lyra to be added so she can get her own plushie

okay i was gonna rb a post with tags about this but i felt mean doing it because it is not just one person saying this but i've seen so many people saying it and i have to make the correction. the heart killers IS NOT AN ADAPTION OF 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU. point blank period, it is not. i know jojo wore the shirt when the trailer dropped, i know he quote tweeted a tweet talking about it, i know he loves the movie, but objectively speaking it is not a 10 things adaptation. jojo himself CALLED IT a shakespeare adaption and it is VERY OBVIOUSLY more based on taming of the shrew than it is 10 things. i can count on one hand the amount of parallels and direct references that there have been to 10 things in the show, whereas there have been DOZENS of DIRECT and EXPLICIT references to taming of the shrew, as well as many smaller and subtle references. this is not a "based on based on" situation. it is based on taming of the shrew, point blank period.
