inChecked out that indoor storage facility off I-94 in Detroit
Yeah, $400 for a non-climate controlled unit does seem steep. I looked at one of those places last year for my own car, and I noticed the same thing with moisture in the air. How long you been storing the Charger? I ended up going with a pole barn setup about 30 minutes outside the city, it was maybe half that price and I just run a cheap dehumidifier plugged into a drop light socket.

inVent: Discovered the hard way that poly fiber in mix causes cold joints
A full driveway pour with poly fibers? That’s a bold move risking a 10-yard cold joint on a slab that size. I’ve seen fibers accelerate set time by up to 30 minutes if the mix is already hot or dry, which can wreck your whole schedule. Did you have a chance to slow it down with a retarder or ice in the water?

inDebate: Is it worth buying organic produce or just a waste of cash?
@sam_anderson that farm chicken thing got me thinking. Did the taste difference make you actually change your grocery habits permanently or was it more like a one time special treat situation? Because I see that line you drew with veggies and wonder if that's just rationalization to make the splurge feel okay.

inThat random guy at the con told me to watch Kaiji and I'm glad I listened
The burned DVD-R thing is such a specific 2016 con experience, I love it. But I gotta ask, were you more hooked by the rock paper scissors mind games or the sheer stress of the pachinko machine arc? I feel like people either bounce off the first game or get completely obsessed with how far they can stretch a single gamble. For me it was the way the narrator talks you through every single thought, like you're getting a live sports commentary on your own anxiety.

inRemember when chicken feed bags were just paper? Miss those days sometimes.
Found some old paper bags in my barn from 2010, used them to start my tomato seeds this spring. Those thick plastic ones make decent weed barriers under the gravel path though if you slit them open.
