Went to a warehouse sale in Atlanta and noticed all the big-budget sets use foam bricks painted to look real

So those 'prop brick type B' labels, were they from a specific supplier or just generic inventory?

Can we talk about what I saw at the county fair pie contest last Saturday?

Wow I totally used to think pie judges were fair but this story changed my whole view on it.

My city council voted to kill the new bike lanes last week

Just annoys my cat" made me laugh. Best I can do is leave my bike stuff by the front door so he can sleep on it.

My sourdough starter went from bubbly to dead in 4 days flat

Dumping a starter feels like a breakup with extra steps honestly. I murdered my first three starters before I got one that didn't try to die on me. That pink mold is bad news though, trust me on this one. Nail polish smell means it's starving or infected too. Just start a new one and pretend the old one went to a farm upstate.

Choosing between a 4.5 inch and 6 inch brick for a garden wall in Austin

My buddy Mark put up a 4.5 inch brick wall around his patio in San Antonio a few years back. Half of them cracked by the second summer, but he just mixed up some mortar and filled in the cracks. He said it looked fine and saved him the money of tearing it all out. I think it depends how much you care about it looking perfect.
