Never understood the concept of having "doors" for your cupboards. As any Rimworld player can explain, those only slow you down.

They keep "cooking gasses" away from the content - like micro particles of grease and such like.
Have a look at the top of your cupboards one day and you'll probably find a fine layer of grease and house dust / spider poo which is a git to clean if you don't hit it often enough.
Plus it hides all the bottles, jars, pots, and packets of cr@p you cook with when people aren't looking ...

I wont 
Like Mom, I put a baking sheet there. Helps keep stuff clean.

There's your cupboard, with bottles of soy sauce, oystersauce, rice-vinegarm, fish sauce, ketjap, dark soy sauce. Put a baking sheet in that cupboard and keep it clean.

Most of Florida would take up all that space, then. Looking at all the new housing single family residential) going up near me, I see that virtually all water, sewer and electric is entombed in the poured concrete slab the building is built on.

A friend from Europe liked to call residential houses in the states “cabins” due to the wood framing.
The houses in his country are concrete and rebar designed to withstand a sizable earthquake!

Well, Florida regulations require hurricane proof construction now. My house is block and rebar with the block spaces filled with concrete.
Dominican houses go even further, my house there is of poured concrete with rebar.

As a temporary fix, just cut a filler piece that will make the cabinet opening wider!
Back it with a slightly oversized piece so that there will be no cracks when you glue it into the opening.
(If this was a program, would you implement the “fix” in the completed module(the door) or add some “extension” method outside the working code.)

Nah, it'll look wrong - and I'll see that door every day and "know" it's wrong.
I'll make another door, but I'll have to order another sheet of Birch ply - I can't get a good panel out of what's left of the other two!

Howard Shore - The Breaking of the Fellowship[^]
An iconic track in the The Lord of the Rings franchise!
A favorite of LOTR and soundtrack fans, the Breaking of the Fellowship.
Last week, I was assembling some all-time favorite tracks and this one came up and it kind of stuck.
It features the beautiful main theme of LOTR, which can be heard in other tracks as well (for example, in "Concerning Hobbits", another fan and personal favorite).
Now I need to re-watch the trilogy.
Wasn't there a new extended 4K release a while ago? 
For now, I'll just listen to this, SOTW!
Pro-tip: listen to May It Be (by Enya)[^] next, they're the last two tracks on the official soundtrack and they kind of fit together.

Looks like you're right. I either forgot that had happened, or was simply unaware of it. I will probably have to splurge for this.
I usually avoid doing this sort of thing, but this'll be the first [series of] movies I will have bought on DVD, then Blu-Ray, then UHD...

I wanted the Blu-Ray when it came out, but I didn't want to spend so much money for something I already had.
Then, some years later, I found it on sale, only about €60 for the extended Blu-Ray trilogy, if I remember correctly, not expensive in any case.
Didn't buy it that day and I've always regretted it, until I read that an even better version was coming

An "even better version" is always coming.
But, I suspect sales of physical media is going to take a nosedive (it already has), and even though we'll have better formats like 8K, very few titles are ever going to be re-re-re-released, thanks to streaming.
But then, we'll need even more bandwidth to stream at those resolutions.

ing fissure was longer than expected... now I am opening a 60x30x30 cm hole in the wall, to be able to extract the PVC pipe that gets into the other one, so I can try to make it water proof...
