I tried a little experiment last month with two cans of the same brand of tuna. One I drained the oil out completely before mixing into my pasta, the other I kept the oil in and just stirred it all together. The drained one came out super dry and I had to add extra mayo and salt to make it taste like anything. The one with the oil was way richer and I only needed a little pepper and some dried herbs from my pantry. But my roommate says the oil makes it too greasy and adds calories for no reason. So which side do you fall on for a 5 minute meal? Do you drain your canned fish or leave the oil in for flavor?
Bought a 10-piece blade set off Amazon for my shop last month and after 3 haircuts they were already tugging and leaving lines. Anyone else had luck with a specific budget blade brand that actually holds up?
Found it last summer buried under the passenger seat, tape all warped from heat, but after cleaning the pinch roller it plays without skipping - has anyone else rescued a tape that should've been dead?
I was standing in line at a local cafe on Tuesday and this guy behind me was telling his friend about how he trained an AI on his portfolio and now he just gives it prompts for final pieces. Said he hasn't physically drawn anything in three months and that the machine "gets" his composition choices better than he does. It made me wonder if we're heading toward a point where AI becomes more a collaborator than a tool, or if people are just outsourcing the parts of creativity they don't enjoy anymore. Has anyone else run into artists who treat AI like a creative partner instead of a shortcut?
I dropped $40 on a brush pack for my fantasy map software last month thinking it would save me hours of drawing rivers and trees. Turns out the guy just ripped assets from free brushes and resold them with a filter. Even the mountain outlines were traced from a well-known free pack I already had. Has anyone else run into scam brushes on places like Etsy or some smaller map maker forums?
I was working on a job site last Tuesday and a guy came by to pick up a custom shelf. He saw me setting up my Bosch laser level and told my boss that real carpenters could do everything with a spirit level and a chalk line. I just kept my mouth shut but it got under my skin. Like yeah, I can totally measure and mark every single stud location by hand too, but the laser saves me 20 minutes per wall and gets it dead on every time. I don't think using better tools makes you less of a carpenter. It just means you work smarter. Have any of you run into old-timers who look down on laser levels or track saws?
They said my personalized subject lines sounded like a bot wrote them, so I started adding a random typo in every third email and open rates jumped 15% in two weeks.
I paid a professional resume writer $200 and she basically just copied my LinkedIn into a template and ran it through an AI summarizer. The bullet points were so generic like 'improved team efficiency' with zero numbers or specific projects I actually did. I got zero callbacks in three weeks after using her version. I went back to my old messy resume and started sending it out again. Now I'm editing it myself using free guides from my university's alumni site. Has anyone else had bad luck with those expensive resume rewriting services?
I was just trying to get the landing light changed out and the torque from the screwdriver flexed the frame just enough to spider the glass, has anyone else had this happen with the older -700s or am I just unlucky?
I was cleaning my launch PS4 with a can of air and tilted it too far for like 2 seconds to get a dust clump near the fan. A split second later I heard this gross wet hiss and the console just shut off. Took me 3 hours of watching a tutorial and cleaning the board with 91% isopropyl to get it working again. Had no idea the liquid propellant could spray out that fast. Anyone else have a console die on them from this?
