I thought the 'Havana Syndrome' stuff was just spy novel talk until a friend got hit

My buddy works for the State Department and was in Vienna last year. He described a sudden, sharp pressure in his head and ringing ears that lasted for days, matching the exact symptoms reported. The official line kept changing from 'mass hysteria' to 'possible directed energy,' which flipped my view. Has anyone else had their mind changed on a conspiracy by knowing someone directly affected?

The worst week of my career started with a blocked flue in a 200 year old house in Savannah.

My foam roller tried to become a projectile during my cool down

I was lying on it for a back stretch after some squats. Without warning, it shot out from under me and bounced off the TV stand. My dog barked like we were under attack, and I had to chase the thing around the couch. Now I'm worried my living room is too slick for proper recovery work.

Question about tree stakes after a windy season shifted my view

Noticed mud takes forever to set when it's muggy out...

I've been on a few sites lately where the air is thick, and the joint compound just stays wet... had to delay sanding by a whole day. Even with fans blowing, it feels like you're fighting the weather. Really makes me wonder if there's a product out there that handles humidity better.

Who knew ditching my gym membership for home workouts would save me over a hundred bucks a month?
