Just finished a peel-and-stick backsplash in my kitchen after thinking it was a total gimmick, lol

I saw it at the hardware store for $45 a box and figured it would look cheap and peel off in a week. My partner convinced me to try a small section behind the coffee maker. Three months later, the whole wall is done and it still looks perfect, no lifting at all. The trick was cleaning the wall with rubbing alcohol first, which I almost skipped. Anyone else have a DIY product they were totally wrong about?

My cat's automatic feeder broke at 5 AM yesterday and I'm actually kind of glad it did.

Why does nobody talk about the 2018 AutoCAD update that broke all our custom hatch patterns?

They don't, it just feels that way lol

Hot take: teaching new players by starting with the full rules is a bad idea

That game's manual is a brick, but the quick start guide saved us.

Saw a diver's drysuit hanging in a weird spot in Seattle

Oh man, @west.faith, it's basically a bet that you won't trash the place. Landlord wins if you do, you win if you don't.

My favorite boss in the kitchen always listened first.

My old boss was such a bad listener I once told him the walk-in was on fire and he just nodded and asked for more diced onions. It's wild how much smoother things run when the person in charge actually processes what you're saying. That trust Brooke mentioned is everything, it turns a job you tolerate into a team you want to be part of. Getting ignored over small stuff just makes people stop speaking up about the big stuff later.
