Warning: I still think physical buttons beat touchscreens on most gadgets

Wait, reviews actually say touch is better for a multimeter? How do they expect people to use it on job sites with gloves? I've dropped my button-based one in mud and it's fine, but touchscreens freak out with a little moisture. Keeping your old gear running is smarter than buying fragile new tech.

Changed my tune on bullet journaling for closet cleanouts

You called planning it "extra" but that's the part I find actually saves time. When I just start pulling clothes out, I get stuck on every single choice. Writing "keep, donate, trash" as columns first means I'm just sorting into pre-made buckets. It turns a big fuzzy job into a simple matching game.

Hot take: DIY home elevator fixes are a disaster waiting to happen

Oh man, that sounds awful! I once tried to fix my own garage door and ended up locking myself in the garage for half a day. Had to call my wife to let me out, and she still brings it up every time I mention DIY. It's so true that the risk isn't worth it. Pros have the tools and know-how we just don't. Now I stick to changing light bulbs and even that makes me nervous!

Appreciation post: A pitmaster's wood timing tip solved my smoke ring problem

Have you tried wrapping your brisket in butcher paper once the bark sets? I found that it locks in moisture and lets the bark keep its texture without over-smoking. Keeping a water pan in the smoker helps stabilize the temperature too. It made a big difference in my last competition.
