Friend of mine tried scene cards and said the same thing @wright.cole.

Just realized I've been stripping 12 gauge wire wrong for years

Oh you mean the drill thing isn't the obvious way to do it? lol My uncle used to twist those things by hand for like 40 years and his hands look like claws now. I tried showing him a nut setter once and he yelled at me saying I was making him soft. Whatever dude, my wrist doesn't scream at me at night so I'll take the trade off. Honestly I don't get the whole tough guy act about tools. If it saves your joints and takes half the time who cares if it looks lazy. Then again I've met electricians who refuse to use self tappers so maybe some people just enjoy suffering lmao.

Looking back at my choice between manual and digital for site layouts

Did you ever try drawing on a tablet held up to a mirror? That was my first digital art setup, and it was a total mess. I had this old Intuos and I taped it to the bathroom mirror so I could see what I was drawing. My lines looked like a toddler having a seizure for weeks because my brain couldn't sync my hand with the reversed image. It probably took a month before I drew something that wasn't just a scribble, and my neck hurt for days. Have you tried any weird hacks like that to get past the shaky line phase?

The time a homeowner asked me to match the carpet to their cat

The thought of someone color matching their dog's nose is wild but honestly @stone.evan maybe thats the secret to getting a perfect match every time. Something about a pet's natural coat just brings out the undertones.

Had a talk with a 12 year old about Goku vs Saitama and it got deep

And I just read about this exact thing in a manga analysis blog last week. They mentioned how Saitama's depression actually makes his strength feel hollow, like he skipped the journey part of becoming strong and now he's stuck at the end with nothing to work for. Goku on the other hand keeps finding new mountains to climb and new ways to push himself, so even though he's already a god, he still gets that satisfaction from earning his gains every arc. That kid actually has a point about who earned their strength more, because Saitama's whole story is about how being at the top without struggle is lonely and pointless. It makes you wonder if the real answer isn't about who wins in a fight, but who actually has the better life because of their power. Does that change how you see One Punch Man's whole theme now?
