inStop torching every rusty bolt, PB Blaster and a 3 pound hammer beat my torch 9 times out of 10
Sprayed the downpipe bolts on my 7.3 Powerstroke for three days straight with PB and they broke loose with a breaker bar while my torch just turned them into mush. Heat kills rusted studs, it does not help them.

inPSA: went with the $900 open carrier from Dallas to Denver instead of the $1,400 enclosed one, here's what showed up
Not sure $900 really counts as a deal when your car shows up looking like that.

inRant: my coworker bragged about waking up at 4:30am and I honestly think that is not a win
And it goes deeper than just being tired, because that 2pm crash means he is running on empty for half his day. So he is basically trading his best hours for a badge of honor, and the work he does in the afternoon is probably not his best. Rest is not lazy, it is what lets you actually show up, so the 5am club can keep the trophy if it means feeling wrecked by lunch.

inTIL my uncle who fixes AC units in Tucson got into coding at 58, and his reason was way simpler than mine
The part about "his reason was way simpler than mine" is what gets me, because I don't buy that simple reasons are somehow better or more pure. Fixing AC in Tucson is brutal work, you're crawling through attics when it's 110 out, and a guy doing that for decades probably has plenty of complicated reasons for wanting to sit at a computer instead. Maybe he just wanted AC that blows cold air on his face all day, or maybe he was tired of his knees. Either way the reason is still his.
