Overheard a partner at an agency mixer say they don't read any pitch decks over 10 slides

Isn't that how most "rules" end up feeling anyway?

Found a simple fix for stuck shutter blades on an old Pentax Spotmatic

There's a small detail worth noting on that Spotmatic: the Copal shutter in those actually has magnesium blade pivots, and naptha can sometimes leave a residue that attracts dust over time. Your mileage may vary, but I'd personally stick with a dedicated Ronsonol lighter fluid and keep the blower session to more like five minutes.

Why does nobody talk about eating cold pizza for breakfast in the office?

Read somewhere that cold pizza actually has less carbs somehow.

The debate about pre-stretching carpet before glue-down jobs

Buddy of mine put down glue-down carpet in his basement rec room. Skipped the prestretch, figured it'd be fine. Six months later, there were these little waves popping up right where the kids walked the most. He had to cut out a whole section and redo it, and it never laid down quite flat again.

Longtime collectors vs new readers is getting weird at conventions

Man, you hit the nail right on the head. I went to a smaller con in St. Louis last spring and watched a guy pay fifty bucks for a rushed sketch of some anime cat girl while I dug through a dollar bin for mid-grade X-Men. The energy in those two lines was totally different, like we weren't even at the same show. It's wild how fast that split happened, feels like it crept up on us over the last five years.
