So a customer asked me to fix a 'weird noise' on his $4,000 e-bike and it turned out to be a playing card taped to the frame hitting the spokes

The ramp guy in Phoenix caught my torque wrench out of cal and I've checked every one since

Did yours get flagged during a gate check too or just a random walk-around?

Reminds me of my dad blaming the power supply when it was just dust.

Hot take: a librarian told me I was reading books wrong and it actually made my whole reading life better

That guilt thing is real but I wonder if it fades all the way or just changes shape over time. Like do you still feel a little pull when you ditch a book ten pages in, or does it only bug you when you get deep enough to care about the story? Curious where your line is now that you have been doing this for two years.

Rolled 500,000 miles on my 2006 Ram and the odometer number that got me was 499,999

My wife would divorce me if I pulled over to watch a number flip on the dash. Then again she says that about most things I do with that truck. Half a million on a stock 5.9 is no joke though, mine is at 280k and I baby it way more than you do.
