Honestly, I was just scrolling through a fan wiki and found out a major actor has been running their own Instagram comments for years.

Went to the new 'Smart Grocer' in Austin and their AI checkout made me want to throw my avocados.

Ugh, just use the self-checkout instead.

So I was cleaning a patient's teeth last Tuesday and the ultrasonic scaler's water line just... stopped. No spray at all. I was mid-procedure.

Wait, is the tool breaking really that big of a deal? Like @fox.matthew said it's mid-procedure, but it's just a cleaning, not actual surgery. You grab another tool and keep going. It feels like making a small problem sound way worse than it is. Stuff breaks all the time in any job.

Walking through the old part of town made me see the ground differently

My heels still hurt from Boston's cobblestones, and I get what @sandrajackson means.

I finally stopped getting callbacks on my inside corners after a foreman's tip

My buddy had the same problem with his corners cracking in a basement job. That Kansas City tip is spot on, he swears by it now. He even started using a little space heater on low in the room if the air felt too damp, just to help things along. Said the extra wait time felt slow but saved him so many callbacks.

Serious question, did you know the original Route 66 alignment through Albuquerque was on 4th Street, not Central?

My buddy got super into Route 66 history last year and had the same shock. He drove his whole family down 4th Street first before realizing his mistake.
