Hot take: I watched three people at my office try to fix the Keurig this morning and they all missed the simple reset button under the water tank.

My friend in Bangkok said she never pays for a hotel on weekend trips anymore and just uses a 24-hour gym membership for $15.

Unpopular opinion: I was at the 2013 Boston Marathon finish line and the official story about the pressure cookers never added up for me.

Remember when we used to hand signal everything on a salvage job?

Yeah, it's like @benclark's mechanic, that shift changes the whole feel of the work.

That leak cost my neighbor over three hundred bucks to fix.

Everyone's obsessed with the Pacific Crest Trail but the Wind River High Route is the real deal

Wait, you only saw three groups in eight days? That's insane. Honestly sounds like a dream.

New diet of polymer goo" is right. I had the same junk turn to tar in a Canon AE-1. Left it in my car on a warm day, not even that hot, and the stuff just flowed out like black syrup. Total mess to clean up. Went back to the old foam right then.

Just realized my local library has a tool loan program

Monument to single-use purchases? That's just being prepared. I bought a pipe threader eight years ago and it saved my butt last winter when a fitting blew. A library tool would have been rusted shut or missing parts. Owning it means it's there when you need it, not when their hours say you can have it.
