inQuestion about ad buying for my grooming shop, Google ads vs just boosting posts on Facebook
mostly people within 5 miles of me" is the whole story right there. Google ads are for people who already know they want a thing and are searching for it, but half the time they're three towns over or just price shopping. Facebook just dumps your face and your shop on people sitting on their couch two streets away. It's the same reason a church pancake breakfast does better with a sign on the corner than a listing in the paper. You're not selling a product people hunt for, you're selling "hey, that place looks good, I should finally get my dog groomed." That's a nudge, not a search. Your keywords were probably fine, the whole setup was just pointed at the wrong kind of person.

inVent: went 8 years treating my bujo like a diary, found out last night it's supposed to be a to-do list
Eight years is a long time to be doing something "wrong" and still getting something out of it. The original bujo method from Ryder Carroll actually started as a way for him to deal with his ADHD, and people forget he says to make it work for you, not the other way around. A to-do list that you hate looking at is just a chore, but a book you actually open every day for 8 years clearly did something for you. Maybe the "supposed to" part is the real problem here, not your habit.

inShoutout to the guy at the Ohio forge meet who showed me why my tongs kept slipping
Man, six hours of filing versus thirty seconds with a vise. That would sting a little. But honestly, is a too-wide jaw gap really the big secret here? Seems like something you would've spotted on day one with a straight edge, not weekend three. Half the time tongs don't bite because the reins are sprung or the pivot is loose, and squeezing the jaws shut just masks it until the next heat. Fix the gap if it needs it, sure, but I wouldn't call that a magic trick, just basic looking at your tools before you blame the steel.
