Serious question, did anyone else learn their lesson after a grease trap backup at a hotel in Amarillo?

I was designing stickers to be read at 5 feet and a guy at the Riverside car wash made me rethink it

TIL the barista at the shop on 5th in Eugene who gave me her extra 3 grams of Ethiopian beans changed how I dial in

Serious question, how long did it take you to strip old wallpaper without wrecking the plaster?

Just realized I wasted 5 weeks chasing a hydraulic leak on my Liebherr, and it was a 60 cent O-ring the whole time

A guy at a Denver bus stop said the moon landing was faked with a fish tank, so I looked up the actual NASA photos that night

TIL that cheap chain lube test I laughed at at the shop in Dayton was right

Needle tip bottle plus a rag, saves lube and keeps it clean.

I finally tried reading comics on a tablet after swearing paper was the only way

Your floppies are now fancy coasters, congrats on joining the dark side.

Dropped $95 on a rail road spike knife blank and it snapped on the third whack

Third whack at $95 a swing is a rough way to learn metallurgy.

It reminds me of how people buy extended warranties on a $200 TV, the paperwork just feels safer than trusting your own eyes. On a straight clay liner I'd rather put that $400 toward a stainless cap and a rain collar, that's the part that actually keeps water out of the flue.

Tried watching just one episode of The Bear before bed, ended up finishing the whole first season by 4am

My buddy did the exact same thing with Severance last month. Started it at like 9pm on a work night, texted me at 3am saying "I can't stop, this is a problem." He ended up calling out sick the next day and his boss was not happy about it. Where I draw the line is if I have something important the next morning, I just don't start new shows after 9. Learned that one the hard way too many times.
