Watching a crew frame a house in Bend with all cordless tools changed my mind about battery life

Shoutout to the guy who saw my drawer slides and said 'You know you can adjust those, right?'

I was installing a set of Blum undermount slides for a client in Denver and had them totally cranked down, thinking tighter was better. He pointed out the little hex screw for fine-tuning the side-to-side play, which I had completely missed in the instructions. Anyone have a favorite brand for slides that are easier to set up?

Tbh I lost a whole afternoon trying to save a buck with a cheap taping knife from a big box store.

Honestly it flexed so bad on a flat seam that I had to redo the whole wall and wasted about 4 hours of my day.

I used to think 'Glover' for the N64 was just a weird gimmick game...

I was at a little retro game swap meet in Spokane last weekend, just digging through bins of old cartridges. This guy next to me, probably in his 40s, picked up a copy and said 'Man, this game's physics were actually kind of genius.' We got to talking and he convinced me to give it another shot on my old console. I played it for like three hours straight when I got home... the way you control that magical glove to bounce and roll the ball, solving puzzles with different ball types, it's way deeper than I remembered. The level design in that toy factory world is actually pretty clever. I totally wrote it off as a silly mascot platformer when I was a kid. Has anyone else gone back to a game they hated and found something good in it years later?

Just realized I've cleaned exactly 1,000 shutter blades this year. The counting started as a joke.

Had a catering gig where the main protein was still frozen solid an hour before service.

It was a 200-person wedding in Austin, and the salmon was a solid block. We had to get creative with a cold water bath and some very careful timing. Anyone ever had to pull off a thaw that fast without ruining the texture?

Am I the only one who felt wrong using a friend's secret for a writing prompt?

In my writing group, we got a prompt about hidden truths. I wrote a story based on my friend's private struggle, and it sits weird with me. How do you deal with prompts that use real people's lives?
