inMy old Rio Karma mp3 player still boots after 20 years in a drawer
My old iPod Classic survived a washer cycle back in 2009, still spins up fine today.

inDowntown office tower flipped from full to half empty in 18 months
Were those three tenants all in the same industry or sector? When we saw a big drop here it was clustered, one tech firm leaving started a chain reaction because the other two were tied to the same clients or contracts. If yours is spread across different types of businesses, that's a different problem than if it's all coming from one failing sector. Also curious if your building has any big floor plates that are just hard to split up for smaller tenants. That's been our issue, nobody wants 50,000 square feet anymore but they also won't take half a floor with weird column spacing.

inCustomer swore his bike was 'fixing itself' after a chain swap
Was it really that dangerous though? I mean a chain skip on a hill is annoying but you made it sound like he almost died.

inPrecast beats poured in place for our last three jobs
Did you run into any issues with the precast joints leaking or needing sealant down the road? We did a mixed deck a few years back and the precast was fine structurally but the water found every seam. I think the formwork time savings were real but we ended up spending two extra weekends chasing leaks on the lower levels. If you got through that without trouble, I'm curious what your joint detailing looked like.
