inPSA: That AI consultant told me to feed it all my customer data...
Laughing at my own past self for thinking I was being clever while basically handing a stranger my whole life story. Guess we all need a good roasting before we learn the lesson.

inCounted 42 whiskers on my cat's left cheek alone last night.
Well I guess if you're that bored, more power to you, but does it really matter if it's exactly 42 or not? Cats have whiskers, they lose some, they grow new ones, it's not that serious.

inSwitched to a gooseneck kettle for my pour over and the taste is night and day
Took me about three bags of Ethiopian beans before I got it right. I was doing too fast of a pour and it was coming out sour every time. Finally tried a slower pour for the first 30 seconds, just enough water to cover the grounds, then waited 15 seconds before adding more. That little pause really let the bloom do its thing. Now my cups are way cleaner and sweeter.

inWatched a neighbor ruin a pork shoulder because she didn't sear it first - I never skip that step anymore
Man I'll be honest @diana_park I used to rush through searing just to get dinner on the table, but after reading this and trying it right I'll never go back. That dark crust really does change everything.

inHeard a librarian say genre labels hurt kids reading growth
That's a tough one. Genre labels might limit what some kids pick up, but they also help a fantasy-crazy niece find exactly what she wants. It's hard to see how a sticker is worse than a kid who won't read anything because they don't know where to start.
