Vent: A kid's sticky fingers messed up my shutter calibration job

Had a camera on the bench with the cover off for fine adjustment. My nephew wandered in and poked the mirror box with jam all over his hands. Now there's gunk on the sensor and the shutter timing is off. I have to start over and deep clean everything, which adds hours to the fix.

Serious question, does chicken wire actually summon chickens?

I put up some chicken wire around my new veg patch to keep pests out. Now I have three neighbor's chickens treating it like their personal lounge. They've scratched up all my carrot tops and seem very pleased with themselves. I'm stuck with a backyard full of contented poultry. I guess my DIY project turned into a free range coop.

Hot take: Not saying hello to every single neighbor is perfectly fine

I live on a busy street where people are always walking their dogs or out gardening. Some folks expect a wave or chat every time they see you, and it gets exhausting. I think it's okay to just keep to yourself sometimes without being rude. Am I wrong for wanting to avoid those small talk traps?
