Can we talk about the guy who brought a laser level to set up Catan?

Last month at our local game cafe, a player spent 15 minutes ensuring the hexes were perfectly aligned. Has anyone else seen a prep step taken to an extreme like that?

Realized I've been reviewing gadgets wrong for years after my friend asked 'why do you always test them in your living room?'

Showerthought: I was sure that new UV-cure sealant was bulletproof until a whole bay window failed in a week.

The install looked perfect, but the bond just gave up under direct sun in Phoenix. Anyone have a sealant they'd trust for a desert job like that?

Rant: People keep using the wrong salt for their kimchi and it's ruining the batch

I've seen three posts this month where folks are using iodized table salt for their napa cabbage kimchi. The iodine can kill the good bacteria you need for a proper ferment, leaving it mushy and weird. I learned this the hard way last year when a whole 2-gallon crock in my kitchen went bad in under a week. What other common mistakes should we all watch out for?
