It was a dumb comment about the potato salad, but the formal meeting changed how I think before I speak at work. Anyone else had a small thing blow up like that?
I thought it was just a weird look, but he showed me his temp gun reading a 15 degree difference on the shaded side of the wall compared to the old grey one. Now my whole west-facing wall is white and my evening hangouts are way more comfortable. Anyone else try something simple that made a huge difference with heat?
I was doing a routine service call on a 1980s split-level. The panel felt warm, but all the breakers felt fine by hand. I used the camera to scan the bus bars and saw one phase connection at the main lug was glowing at 140 degrees. It was tight, but the aluminum had degraded. Without the camera, I'd have just logged it as normal. Has anyone else caught a hidden fault like this with thermal imaging?
I saw a video saying it was just about traffic control, but then I read the actual Oxford city council planning docs from 2022. They literally talk about dividing the city into zones and limiting car travel between them. It's not just about walkability, there are proposed permits and cameras. I was totally ready to dismiss it as nonsense until I saw the official paperwork. Changed my whole view on how these policies get framed vs. what they actually say. Anyone else dug into their own local plans and been surprised?
We were setting up Root and I launched into my usual 15 minute rules lecture. He stopped me and said to just explain the goal and one turn, then start. I tried it last game night and we were playing in under five minutes. Has anyone else found a better way to teach a complex game?
