Honestly, the difference in our core sand mix after we switched from that old manual muller is wild.

Tbh, the old batch would crumble if you looked at it wrong, but now after 8 months with the new Simpson mixer, the molds hold shape like a dream. Anyone else seen a huge jump just from upgrading one piece of gear?

Watching a local theater group's version of 'Romeo and Juliet' made me think about a different ending.

Their modern take had the families actually listen to the Friar's letter, so the final scene was just two very confused, alive teenagers staring at each other in the tomb.

I was writing the same code block over and over for a month before I saw the problem

I was building a simple website for my friend's bakery and kept copying the same five lines of CSS to style each menu section. After about three weeks, I looked at my stylesheet and it was over 300 lines of basically the same thing. A guy in a YouTube tutorial said 'if you're copying, you should be making a class' and it clicked. Has anyone else had that 'duh' moment with CSS classes?

The great chicken escape took me three hours to figure out

My new hen, Nugget, kept getting out of the run every single afternoon. I checked the fence for holes, added more clips, the whole deal. Turns out she was using a tiny, loose board on the coop itself as a step to hop onto the roof and then down. I only saw it because I sat outside with a coffee and watched her do it. Has anyone else had a chicken turn into a tiny escape artist?

My main forge blower motor seized up solid yesterday afternoon, right in the middle of a commissioned axe.

Had a customer's 2017 F-150 come in with a weird idle, turned out to be a $3 vacuum line behind the intake that had melted on the EGR tube.

Shoutout to the guy who showed me the proper way to strip 12/2 MC cable

I was taking 45 seconds per connector until he showed me his trick with the cable stripper and a twist, now it's under 15. Anyone have a different method they prefer?

My basil taught me a lesson about watering schedules

Three years ago in my old apartment, I killed a pot of basil by watering it every morning like clockwork. Last week I noticed my new plants in the self-watering pots are twice as big because they only drink when they're thirsty. Anyone else switch to those pots and see a big change?
