Can we talk about how people think turning off a power strip is the same as unplugging it

I mean, I tested my TV and game console setup with a Kill A Watt meter for a week and found the strip still draws about 8 watts when switched off but left in the outlet, which adds up to a surprising amount over a year in my apartment.

Why does nobody talk about the before-and-after of switching from a mouse to a proper drafting tablet?

My linework went from looking like a shaky toddler drew it to being crisp and controlled in about two weeks, all because I finally listened to my coworker Mark who said, 'You're fighting the tool, let it help you.'

Just developed my 500th roll of film and realized something weird

It was a roll of Kentmere 400 I shot last week. I've been doing this for a while, but hitting that number made me see how much I've learned to read the negatives before scanning, just by looking at the density. Do you guys have a personal milestone that changed how you see your own work?

I've been using the wrong fuel for my stove for a year and only figured it out in the Wind River Range

I was boiling water for coffee at 10,000 feet and my Jetboil kept sputtering out. A guy at the next campsite asked if I was using the cold weather mix, and I had no idea what he meant. Turns out my regular canister fuel loses pressure way faster in the cold, and I've been blaming the stove this whole time. Anyone have a good cold weather stove they like better than a Jetboil for high altitude?

Hot take: I just found out chickens can see a wider color spectrum than we can, including UV light.

Read it in a university poultry science article. Makes me wonder if my red feeder looks totally different to them, anyone know?

Talking to my niece about her school's 'green team' made me realize something

She said they're focusing on 'adaptation' because the adults keep failing at 'prevention', which hit different coming from a 10-year-old. Has anyone else heard kids framing it that bluntly?

I finally stopped using my smartwatch and I don't miss it ONE BIT.
