Saw a buddy try his first comp. His chicken was so rubbery it bounced off the table.

Maybe it's just me but delivery guys are probably just focused on not tripping. Your brisket still tasted good right?

Ever notice if it gets worse in super hot or cold weather? My buddy swears his sensor freaks out every summer, but his mechanic says it's just cheap DEF. The guy at the parts store told him to only buy from truck stops, not the jugs sitting on a warehouse shelf. Makes you wonder if storage conditions mess with the fluid before it even goes in the tank. His problems did calm down after he started doing that.

Finally someone says it out loud. I used to think I was broken for needing to step away from noise. Forcing myself to stay in the loud part just made me angry and tired. Now I scout for a back porch or a bathroom down the hall the second I get there. That five minutes of quiet lets me actually be a person again instead of a statue. It's not hiding, it's just what my brain needs to work.

Yeah, a buddy of mine had his aunt ask if he fixed printers too (shoutout to @laura_hill for that robot wars line, that's perfect). He showed her a video of a lathe and now she tells everyone he "carves metal statues with robots," which is pretty much the same thing.
