Showerthought: I painted my kitchen cabinets with a $4 foam roller instead of a brush and now I feel stupid for waiting 3 years

Thought skipping anime openings was saving time until my friend pointed out I missed a whole arc recap

Hot take: I stopped posting at 7pm and started posting at 11am for 30 days, and my reach went from 800 to 4000

My old manager told me to 'never eat lunch at your desk'. I ignored him for 2 years and paid for it

Thought I had the perfect bad movie formula, then a friend brought over a movie with no plot at all and it wrecked my whole system

Take it further and make the next one a total blank slate, no title, no credits, just see what the room does.

PSA: Found a grain silo in central Kansas that went from full color to total rust in about 8 years

Did you shoot it in the same season both times? I did a double take on an old grain mill in my town and the rust looked way worse in my later shot just because I took it after a wet spring instead of a dry fall.

My old boss in Spokane told me to skip the OSHA 30 and get a Class A instead, worst call I ever made

My buddy Dave got the same speech at a tire shop in Reno, skipped his ASE certs for a delivery route and spent two years at $17 an hour. His old manager just didn't want to lose his cheapest guy

Anyone recommend a shore excursion that focuses on indigenous culture and small groups?

Yes. I did a 3 hour land based tour last summer that was exactly that. The guides were lifelong locals and they talked about Tlingit history, medicinal plants, and what village life is really like. The group was maybe eight people so there was time to stop, take photos, and ask questions. If you want to check them out their site is https://wildernessislandtours.com/ and they operate from the Icy Strait area.

That time a customer's toddler "fixed" my torque wrench during a tuneup

... and then my buddy had the same thing happen with his digital caliper, kid just mashed the zero button and he spent an hour trying to figure out why everything measured wrong. Kids and tools man... they're lucky they're cute.
