My 'new' daily driver is a ThinkPad T420 from 2011

Totally agree, I did the same thing and it’s crazy how much better an old ThinkPad runs than those cheap Chromebooks.

Serious question, why does everyone think my great-grandma's 'boiled dressing' for coleslaw is just mayo?

Actually, traditional mayo only uses the yolk, not the whole egg. So you're missing that separation, Henry. Commercial mayo from a jar uses pasteurized eggs and is never cooked. The emulsification process just blends the oil and yolk together at room temperature with some acid like vinegar or lemon juice. So unless you're making some kind of warm aioli situation, calling it "cooked" is confusing people for a reason.

The before-and-after on my buddy's shop floor was insane after just 6 months

Right? "Permanent crime scene floor" is the perfect description. He's lucky it didn't start bleeding through the garage door.

I'm split on whether beginners should start with Python or JavaScript first

Honestly I used to think Python was harder to read because of all the indentation rules. But @colemiller you kind of changed my mind on that. Compared to all those curly braces and semicolons in JavaScript, Python's just way more natural to look at. It really does feel closer to writing out what you actually want the computer to do.

Overheard a customer at the paint counter say 'just make it look good, I'm selling it next month' and it made me think

Well, I can see the flip side where sometimes that's just being practical with your money and time.
