Omg yeah, the PCT stats blew my mind too when I actually looked at the total climb.

Wait, just to be clear the USDA actually says it's fine to cook frozen chicken in a slow cooker as long as it hits 165 degrees, so you weren't totally off base being cautious but she wasn't wrong either. Your sister's salsa chicken trick is a legit lifesaver though.

Mine was a "what's that burning smell?" situation. Hit a wire with a drywall screw mounting some floating shelves in the basement. The funny thing is I had one of those fancy stud finders with the live wire detection, but I forgot to switch it out of stud mode. Wasted an hour with the multimeter and a patch kit while my wife just shook her head from the doorway. Now I just tap the wall with a knuckle and hope for the best, which is honestly not going great.

Honestly, @eva243 might be sarcastic but they're not wrong-using console.log changed everything for me too. Do you find yourself logging everything at the very start now, or do you still try to guess first before reaching for it?

Oh, I've absolutely been there. Life is too short to read books you hate, even if everyone says they're masterpieces. Just set it aside and pick up something that actually makes you want to turn the page.
