inPaid $45 for a hand-forged bottle opener and it broke on the first beer.
Guess it wasn't tempered for much of anything.

inFinally figured out why my dollar store paint projects always peeled after a month
Primer is a total waste if you actually prep your terra cotta right. Soak those pots in water for 20 minutes before painting and the clay won't suck the moisture out of the paint anymore. I did a side by side test with three pots last spring, one primed one soaked and one dry painted. The soaked one held paint just as well as the primed one and the dry one flaked off in a week. Plus primer adds an extra step and another thing to buy when you can just use tap water and fifteen minutes of your time.

inThat dual-path communicator install last Thursday nearly cost me a customer
Wait do you actually think moving the antenna is no big deal? It's a total hack on most modern phones, straight up ugly with that bump. Apple at least tries to make it look clean, Samsung just sticks it on the back like an afterthought. It's lazy engineering if you ask me, not some clever fix.

inWarning: I used to ignore password managers until a coworker called them a security risk
But honestly, isn't putting all your passwords in one basket just asking for trouble? Even if you use a local manager like KeePass, you're still one keylogger or memory dump away from losing everything at once. I'd rather have 50 different passwords spread across sticky notes in my desk drawer than trust some piece of software that could have a zero-day exploit nobody knows about yet. At least with paper, a hacker would need to break into my actual house.

inGateron vs Cherry switches for my first custom build
Idk, heavier springs kinda kill the smoothness for me though.
