Dubbed vs subbed for Attack on Titan is not even close

I watched the first season dubbed and thought it was fine... then I tried subbed for season 2 last month and the voice acting hit way harder especially Eren's screams. Has anyone else switched halfway through a show and regretted not doing it sooner?

Shoutout to the old timer who showed me how to stagger seams properly

Been hanging board for about 2 years now. Thought I had it figured out. Then last month on a job in Greenville, this guy in his 60s walks by my wall and just says "you're gonna get a crack right there in 6 months." Pointed out my butt joints were lined up across a doorway. Showed me how to offset them by at least 2 feet and stagger the whole layout different. Fixed it and the finish guys even commented it looked better. Anyone else have some old school trick that made a big difference?

Had to tear out a whole section of carpet because of one hidden tack strip

I was working on a living room install in an old house near Boise last month and everything was going smooth until I hit a spot where the carpet wouldn't lay flat. Turns out the previous installer had buried a tack strip under the pad about 6 inches from the wall. It took me almost 3 hours to pull up 20 feet of carpet and redo that section. Has anyone else run into weird surprises left by past installers?

Finally fixed my laptop fan noise with a cotton swab and rubbing alcohol

Just found out most avionics failures trace back to one common cause

I was reading through some FAA service difficulty reports last night and saw that nearly 40% of avionics issues come from bad grounding or bonding. It surprised me because I always assumed it was component failures. Has anyone else noticed that pattern in their shop?

That day I found 50 vintage fishing lures in a garage cleanout

I was helping a buddy clear out his dad's old garage last spring, and buried under a pile of rusted tools was a cardboard box full of fishing lures from the 1960s and 70s. Most were in rough shape, but about 15 of them were still in their original packaging with the price tags still on, like 79 cents or a dollar something. I spent the whole afternoon sorting them by type and cleaning off the dust, and that week I sold a single one on eBay for $40. Has anyone else stumbled on a hidden stash of old gear that turned out to be worth something?

Just realized my $3 thrift store knife sharpener beats my expensive one

I picked up this cheap Smith's sharpener at a Goodwill last week for three bucks, figured I'd try it on my old kitchen knives. After two passes on each side, my chef's knife went from barely cutting a tomato to slicing through paper easy. My $40 electric sharpener I got 6 months ago always left these tiny burrs on the edge, but this manual one just works better. Has anyone else had luck with a super cheap tool outperforming the pricey version they already owned?

Spent $300 on a winch bumper and it didn't fit my frame holes

Found a used ARB bumper on Craigslist for my 2005 Tacoma. Looked fine in the photos, guy said it came off the same generation. Got home, lined it up, and none of the eight mounting holes matched my frame by at least half an inch. Tried drilling new holes but my bit snapped on the frame steel. Had to pay a shop $150 to weld on new brackets. Total loss was $450 and three weekends of my time. Anyone else run into frame differences between model years on a Taco build?

Saw people keep moving here and buying those big propane tanks without checking the fill stations first

I work at a gas station off Route 4 in Epsom and every week someone new rolls in with a 100 pound tank that doesn't fit our coupler. They drive an hour from some town like Nottingham or Northwood thinking any place fills them. I've got a neighbor who bought a house in Pittsfield last winter and he showed up with a tank that had a different valve type from 2012. We had to send him to a farm supply place in Chichester and he was pretty mad about the extra drive. My dad ran a fuel business for 20 years so I grew up hearing about this stuff. The tanks look the same but the connectors changed around 2015 so check the date stamp before you buy one used or from a yard sale. Has anyone else dealt with a tank that just won't hook up at the pump?

Bought a cheap auger for setting posts and stripped the gears on the third hole

Lost about 200 bucks on a bargain auger from a big box store that couldn't handle rocky soil here in central Texas, and now I'm stuck hand-digging the rest of this 40-panel job, anyone else had better luck with a specific brand that won't die on you?
