inJust realized my $2 chicken thighs took 4 hours to cook because of one dumb mistake
Check the outlet itself too, not just the plug. Half the outlets in my kitchen are wired to a light switch on the wall, so the switch gets bumped and the whole counter dies without me touching the cord. Took me two ruined pots of beans before I figured that one out.

inOld foreman said skip the nail gun for baseboards, I fought him for a week
The real issue nobody talks about is how the wood itself reacts. Hand nailing lets you feel the board seat against the wall and adjust pressure as you go, which matters a lot if your walls are old and wavy like half the houses out here. With a gun you just punch it home and split the caulk line or dent the trim, then you're filling and sanding stuff you shouldn't have to touch. The gun is faster on new construction with straight studs, no question, but on remodel work the hand set gives you a feel the gun just can't. Your foreman probably learned that the hard way on old houses, same as you did on those three rooms.

inFound a free jazz night at a cafe in Louisville on a Tuesday and now I have questions
A buddy of mine found something like this in Asheville at a wine bar downtown, free bluegrass on Wednesday nights and the same deal with a tip jar. He said the crowd was mostly locals and a few dogs, super laid back. Another one he hit was in Athens, Georgia, a pizza place with free shows on Mondays. Might be worth poking around smaller college towns, they seem to have the most of these.
