Zip ties vs velcro straps in a Meshify C, only one survived the trip to Denver

Ha, that's wild but it makes total sense! Zip ties have that locking edge that digs in when things shift around, while velcro spreads the force out instead of focusing it all on one spot.

Warned my brother for 14 weeks that his "free" VPN would bite him, and Saturday it finally did

14 weeks is a long time to keep warning someone who won't listen. What did the VPN actually do when it went bad, did it leak his info or just stop working? Knowing the exact damage would help me figure out how worried I should be about my own setup.

Can we talk about how my library hold on the 800 page fantasy brick came in 3 days before our meeting?

Yikes, we cap picks at 400 pages after that exact mess happened to us.

Spent 3 hours breaking down a hog and it hit me that I've been sharpening wrong for 8 years

Just get the $15 guide off Amazon and check once a month. Eight years of eyeballing is how you end up at 25 degrees without knowing it. Fix the bevel once, then use the guide to keep it honest.

Warning: that $250 dorm mini fridge was the worst money I spent in 4 years at Ohio State

Campus stores know freshmen will buy anything once they move in. Same thing happens with those $80 bedding sets that pill after two washes, and the required calculator that the professor never even lets you use on exams. It's a whole system built on people who don't know any better yet. By junior year you figure out the thrift store couch and the facebook marketplace microwave do the same job for a fraction of the price. The fridge still stings though because you can't exactly return a lesson.
