I used to think wireless testers were just extra gear for no reason. Then I got called to fix a signal issue in a house where the owner had run cables through his wall of vintage radios. After untangling that mess for an hour, the tester pinpointed the problem in two seconds. Now I carry one every day, and it keeps me from looking like a fool.
I've had stuff piled up for years and couldn't walk through without stepping on something. Bought a metal storage rack to hang from the ceiling. The instructions were terrible and I stripped a bolt. Almost returned the whole thing. But once it was up, I cleared so much space and it feels like a new room.
I was turning over soil in my backyard and spotted this broken piece with odd patterns. Can anyone help figure out how old it might be or where it came from?
Looking back at bookbinding, some things stay the same. When I turned my basement into a bookbinding corner, I kept my grandpa's press. Its heavy iron frame takes me back to when tools were made to last. It's still the main piece in my setup today.
Everyone on my street bought the same cheap step counter because a few viral posts called it a steal. I tried one and the heart rate monitor was off by like 20 beats per minute during a simple walk. Nobody in the comments mentioned how often it loses sync with phones. Now a bunch of us have useless plastic bands on our wrists.
