Just found out that some 19th century blacksmiths in Pittsburgh were paid partly in company scrip redeemable only at the company store. Read it in an old union history pamphlet at the library.

Last Thursday, a customer at the hardware store I work at asked me to help him find a 'left-handed' hammer.

I spent a good ten minutes explaining that hammers aren't handed, only for him to pull out his phone, show me a picture of a standard claw hammer, and say, 'See, the claw is on the left side, so it's for lefties.'

Vent: My buddy's comment about his smartwatch battery totally changed how I read reviews

What watch was it? I've learned to search for the exact battery life numbers in the specs, not the reviews. Those marketing phrases are useless.

Just hit 500 identical sourdough loaves and the starter is acting WEIRD now

That's a serious milestone, congrats. My starter got super sluggish and acidic after about 300 bakes. Had to switch to feeding it with a different brand of flour to snap it out of the funk.
