inSpent 3 weekends chasing a shadow on my neighbor's satellite photo
Read a thing on Reddit a while back where a guy spent a whole month proving his town's water tower wasn't shooting mind control waves. Turned out the "antenna array" was just cell equipment and the weird hum was a bad pump. He printed out like 40 pages of docs and the neighbor just said "that's what they want you to think" and went back to mowing his lawn. Some people aren't looking for answers, they already got their answer and you're just the audience. Save your Saturdays man.

inI finally stopped trusting my tape measure for face frames and a guy in Fresno showed me why
Ha, hold on, the story stick is the right call but it doesn't fix a bent hook by itself. A story stick just copies the carcass, so if your tape is off, your marks on the stick are still coming off that same bad tape unless you marked straight off the wood like he did. The real lesson there is skip the tape and mark direct, and yeah, check that hook against a ruler every few months, mine was off almost 1/8 and I had no clue.

inShowerthought: my sourdough starter survived a week in my truck during the Indiana heat
Mine did the same thing a couple summers back, except it was my glovebox instead of the cupholder. Forgot about it for like 9 days while my car sat in the sun, and when I finally opened that jar there was hooch an inch deep and a crust you could chip off with a spoon. Scooped out the crust, poured off most of the hooch, fed it once, and it doubled in like 3 hours. Your thing about neglect beating attention is real in my experience. The jar I baby on the counter gets fed every day and just kind of sits there, but the ignored ones seem to get this sour, fruity smell that makes way better bread. My guess is the temperature swings and the lack of stirring let it build up more of the wild yeast, but take that with a grain of salt since I'm no scientist. Keeping a backup in the truck is a big move though, just watch it in the winter or it'll go dormant on you.
