Rant: Coolant recycling backfired spectacularly at my shop

I installed a basic coolant recycling setup to reduce our environmental footprint. The pump gave out after a week, leaving a huge puddle and a cranky service manager. Now I'm stuck cleaning it up while fielding jokes about being too green. Any simple fixes or should I just call it a loss?

Booking a hostel sight unseen used to be a wild gamble.

You'd show up and find out it was above a noisy bar or had shared bathrooms with no locks. These days, reading reviews online saves me from so many sketchy situations (and money on earplugs).

PSA: My town's street signs got a colorful makeover and now I'm full of layout ideas. What's inspiring you lately?

At our last meetup, we split on prompts based on real places versus made-up worlds. Can't decide which approach is better.
