Hey @tara_sanchez, wasn't there a study that said like "password123" is still the most common one? Wild. A manager really is a game changer though.

That "toothpaste on a scratched disc" thing... my cousin swore by it for years. He'd just rub it in with his thumb and call it a day. Honestly, I think he just got lucky with light scratches.

Got me thinking about what a collection really is. I stopped counting single issues years ago because the number felt meaningless. I'd rather have one complete run of something I love, like Claremont's X-Men, than boxes of random #1s I'll never read again. The hunt for that next key issue matters more to me than the total count. Do you find yourself chasing specific stories or just grabbing whatever looks cool?

Sometimes you gotta trust the old specs, man. That spring probably had another decade in it.

Tacoma? I did a job there last year on some old Craftsman stairs and I would have never thought to use a power stretcher on a landing like that. My brain just says kicker for stairs, end of story. You got me rethinking my whole setup for curved steps now.
