People keep calling every 90s show a 'comfort watch' and it drives me up a wall

Eh, gotta disagree with you a little there @skylerp20. Fresh Prince had some HEAVY episodes, like the one where Will's dad leaves him again, or Carlton with the gun. Not exactly "nothing bad happens" territory. The Nanny is a better example, that show was pure fluff.

Found a 1920s glass catalog in my grandpa's attic with prices that blew my mind

Hey, that's a bummer about the inflation math. Still, 85 cents back then must have felt like a decent deal compared to what we deal with now. It really makes you think about how much the whole system has changed since then.

I finally realized my cutter head was spinning the wrong direction after 4 years on the job.

Went back and re-read my machine's manual cover to cover.

Finally got that stuck shutter on a Pentax 67 working after a week of trying

Not gonna lie, I used to be one of those people reaching for the grease until I saw how it wrecked a friend's setup. Your post here definitely opened my eyes to how much worse those quick fixes can make things.

I finally tried wrapping my brisket in butcher paper instead of foil last weekend

Butcher paper's the real deal for keeping bark intact, I switched about a year ago and stopped getting that soggy crust. Foil traps too much steam and turns the fat cap into a slippery mess, but paper breathes enough to keep everything crispy. One tip though, make sure you wrap tight enough so the paper doesn't just fall off during the stall.
