Ngl that got me thinking about my own food spending, so I tried it for three weeks and I'm down to $60 a week from $120. Anyone else have tips for keeping it interesting without buying too many fancy ingredients?
I spent the last two months sending cold emails to every graphic design studio in Austin asking for an internship or junior role. Out of 42 emails, only one replied and said they wanted to meet me next week. Has anyone else had better luck with a different approach like networking events?
A guy with 20 years experience told me my cracked tile job was from skipping primer on the concrete, but half the comments said primer is a waste of money for small patches, so which side is actually right when your subfloor has old glue residue?
For about 3 years I used the same old clinch tool my mentor handed down, never thought twice about it. Then last month I picked up a new one at a trade show in Kentucky on a whim. First horse I did with it, the clinches laid down so smooth I almost laughed. Has anyone else switched tools and felt like you wasted time with the old one?
Been using AI to draft my tech blog posts for 6 months now. Tried GPT-4 first. It was fast but kept making up fake stats. Switched to Claude. Slower but more honest. Downside? Claude refused to write half my drafts. Said they were too promotional. Lost 3 days of work. Anyone else hit this wall with AI content tools?
I drove up from St. Louis with a U-Haul trailer and right as I hit the city limits my odometer rolled over to 12,000 miles exactly. I bought the car brand new two years ago and planned the move for months, but seeing that number line up with the skyline felt like a weird sign. I pulled over at a gas station on Western Ave and just sat there for a minute laughing at myself. Has anyone else had a random number or milestone sync up with their move like that?
Last Tuesday on the Missouri River near Kansas City, I started my shift and didn't check the clamps on the 12-inch discharge hose. About 30 minutes in, I heard a weird hissing sound and looked back to see the hose had blown clean off the fitting. Lost about 200 gallons of slurry before I got it shut down. Took me and the deckhand two hours to clean up the mess and reattach everything. Anyone else have a quick morning check that saved them from a bad day?
I started watching during a slow week in March and suddenly realized I'd passed 500 episodes without any fanfare or celebration. Has anyone else reached a big milestone in a series and just felt kind of empty instead of proud?
She tracks every subject, test date, and assignment due date in one notebook. Said it saved her three hours each week. Never thought to use a bujo for my kid's school stuff. Anyone else do this for their kids?
I had to go downtown last Tuesday for a property dispute deposition. This one paralegal from the other side kept flipping through old emails quietly while the witness answered. She waited until the witness said they never got a notice, then slid a printout across the table with the date and time stamp. The attorney just nodded and moved on, but everyone at our table caught it. Has anyone else seen a paralegal do something that basically won the case on the spot?
