inWasted $120 on a 'carbon offset' subscription before doing the math
Yeah I did something similar with a "climate positive" subscription back in 2021. Paid like $10 a month for a year and then found out they were investing in some kind of carbon capture tech that was basically just pumping CO2 into old oil wells. Felt like I was paying for greenwashing. Now I just donate to a local food forest project where I can actually see the trees and help out on weekends.

inPro tip: My 2018 F-150's blend door actuator took a whole weekend to fix, not an hour.
Heard a mechanic say the column drop on those is a lifesaver for that top bolt.

inSaw a historic 1850s chimney in Charleston last weekend that had no liner at all
Yeah that's rough. A mate of mine ignored a cracked flue tile for two years and ended up with a chimney fire that lit up the whole street.

inA senior tech told me I was reading wiring diagrams all wrong, and he was right
Man yeah Frank sounds like he'd get along with my old mentor Jerry. He had me color code my wire tags by voltage before I could even touch the multimeter, said it saved his eyes more than bifocals ever did.

inThe way I used to make mixtapes vs how I do it now is so different it's wild
Dude yes! I remember sitting on my bedroom floor with my finger hoverin over the record button for like ten minutes just waitin for the song to come on. And forget about gettin a clean start - you'd always miss the first second or catch the DJ talkin. I still got a tape somewhere labeled "Best of 95" with a hand-drawn skull on it hah. The worst was when you'd hit pause too late and get that awful static noise right at the end of the song. Made me feel like a radio engineer back then though. Still beats streaming any day if you ask me.
