inTIL a loose RAM stick can cause random blue screens that look like a failing hard drive
Had a laptop from a buddy that kept crashing during video calls. Spent two days reinstalling drivers and swapping out the hard drive. Turned out one of the RAM slots was slightly bent. Pushed it back into place with a toothpick and it ran fine for another year. The blue screens were inconsistent too, like once an hour then nothing for three days. Classic RAM acting up.

inThat one time a client told me my cabinet handles looked like bad jewelry
Honestly, that cardboard template sounds like overkill. I mean, I've been hanging cabinets for 8 years in Minneapolis and I still eyeball handle placement. Like, half my clients don't even notice if things are a quarter inch off. And the ones who do? They're usually the type who'll find something to complain about no matter what. My dad taught me this trick back in '07 - just use your thumb as a spacer between handles. Works fine, saves all that time cutting templates, and nobody's ever sent me back to fix it.

inHad to choose between a greenhouse kit and building my own from scrap wood last spring
Prefab would've saved you the headache for sure... that sloped yard is a beast. Leveling a frame on grade is the part nobody talks about, just takes forever with shims and digging.
