Three drywall patches I skipped sanding on last year all cracked within months.

Stars are actually pretty dense in galactic cores, odds of a collision there are real.

...I mean sure it's a little odd but is it really that big of a deal? It's a thrift store not a retail chain with strict pricing rules. They get stuff donated from random people and slap a tag on it based on who happens to be working that day. I've seen way bigger gaps than $40 on stuff like furniture. You're paying $45 for a vanity that probably retailed for a few hundred, so either way you're getting a deal. People get bent out of shape over the smallest things at these places when the whole point is it's cheap and unpredictable.

Hoi An for me too, five dollars for a tailor-made jacket beats any coworking space.

Beecraft fuel fittings are tiny and easy to strip if you're going by a chart that's off anyway. I've seen guys torquing those things by feel for years with no issues, and some of those planes have 10,000 hours on them without a leak. You're better off just getting a tiny torque wrench that maxes out at like 50 inch pounds and using it straight on the fitting. That chart in your toolbox won't help you when you're sweating in a tight wheel well and the crowsfoot is at a bad angle.
