Question about the Denver airport murals and the 'time capsule'

So I was researching the Denver airport conspiracy theories (you know, the murals, the weird horse statue, all that) and I had to pick a side. I could either believe the official story that it's just avant-garde art, or go with the theory that it's a coded message about a New World Order. I chose to dig into the 'time capsule' they buried, which is supposed to be opened in 2094. I spent about 3 hours last night reading old news articles from 1994 about its dedication. Honestly, it just left me with more questions. What do you think is actually in that capsule?

Turned a kitchen corner into my ferment zone, got a smell question

I cleared out a corner for all my pickle jars and kimchi pots. I mean, after a few days there's this sour tang in the air. Idk, is that normal or did I do something wrong?

Just realized my dog ate the recipe card during floor installation.

Now he burps smells of garlic and herbs.

Unpopular opinion: Foam underlayment is more trouble than it's worth sometimes!

Last week, I was laying down foam underlayment for a laminate floor, and it kept curling up at the edges like crazy! I ended up using my tool boxes and even a spare tire to weigh it down. It was so silly, I laughed out loud while fighting with it. Now I always double-check the room temp before starting that step!

My local bakery's window has had condensation issues for months.

I pass by this bakery every day and their front glass always looks cloudy from the inside. It seems like the seal on the double-pane unit failed, letting moisture in. Do you guys run into this often with older installations, or is there a better way to prevent it?

Saw a slick move with the crane at the riverside project

They were lifting concrete panels for the new flood wall. The operator had a spotter using colored flags for each direction, which was new to me. It looked way smoother than just hand signals. Could be a good idea for sites with lots of background noise.

Fire-rated drywall checks are getting intense in my town

Hey everyone, the building inspectors in my area are really focusing on fire-rated drywall installations lately. (You know, like in those new condo buildings going up.) I just had a job fail because the tape on the corner beads wasn't done right. They're pulling permits and checking everything closely now. So, maybe take a second look at your fire-rated details before calling it done.
