I thought the $12 coffee subscription my cousin in Portland kept pushing was a scam, and now I'm mad I waited 8 months

I thought the $6 magnetic contact trick was nonsense until a job in Tulsa made me a believer

Appreciation post: the 1970s Nikkormat that took me 4 hours to unjam and it was just a bent film guide

Just realized tutorials vs docs teach totally different things, which one actually stuck for you?

Took me 3 visits to figure out a draft problem that turned out to be the flue cap

Bent cap vanes on mine. Only backed up with east wind.

Serious question, my old Sabatier got sharper on a $12 diamond stone than my buddy's $200 electric sharpener

My $8 garage sale stone gets my old Henckels through silver skin faster than my neighbor's $150 Work Sharp, and I still manage to cut myself every single time. Sounds like your buddy just needs to stop letting the machine do his thinking for him.

my 2018 bullet journal fell apart in my bag last Tuesday and I just sat there holding loose pages

Honestly I used to be team "just start a new one" whenever a journal got messy, but then I lost a whole summer of notes that way and it bugged me for months. Taping the pages back in is worth it, even if it looks rough, because future you will want to read those spring logs. Maybe finish taping this one and start fresh in January?

Why does nobody mention that Myron Mixon has 5 whole hog world titles and not just 3

Macon here too and I ran into the same thing with a local guy, everybody kept saying he had 2 GAB wins when it was really 3 once I pulled the old results sheets. Best move is to screenshot the KCBS and MIM pages with the dates and save them, then when someone argues you just post the pic instead of going back and forth. Dale probably heard 3 from a podcast ten years ago and it stuck. Numbers get copied around forums like that all the time and nobody ever opens the actual record.

Took me 8 months to figure out why my kitchen trash kept ending up in my roommate's bathroom

My old roommate used to shove empty pizza boxes behind the couch because he swore the kitchen can made the whole place smell. Found a stack of like nine of them when we moved out, all flattened and wedged between the wall and the cushions. People get weird about trash the second they think nobody's watching.
