Oh man, I feel this in my soul. I bought a Moleskine for my first bullet journal because I thought "fancy brand equals good paper," and my fountain pen ink looked like I was writing on a napkin. The ghosting was so bad I could read last week's to-do list through three pages. I ended up tearing out about 30 pages before I gave up and just started fresh in a different notebook. My half-used Moleskine is now just sitting in a drawer, judging me every time I open it.

I read this thing in Harvard Business Review about how our brains actually release oxytocin when we do that phone thing, the same hormone tied to trust and bonding. So your buddy is basically hacking human biology without even realizing it, which is way smarter than passing out paper that ends up in a drawer. Makes me wonder if we've been overthinking networking this whole time when the answer is just getting someone to hold your warm phone for ten seconds.

Bacon in the oven dries it out too much and you lose all that good rendered fat that makes it taste amazing when it crisps up in its own grease on the stovetop. Plus the texture gets weirdly brittle and shattery instead of that perfect snap with a little chew. Paper towels under the bacon on a plate in the microwave for 60-90 seconds gives you way better flavor and way less fuss than heating up the whole oven for fifteen minutes.

Why not just learn both? They're different tools for different jobs. Python is way cleaner for data stuff and backend logic, but JS is unavoidable if you want anything to live in a browser. You can pick up the basics of each in a weekend and then dive deeper based on what you actually need to build.

Whoa, hold up, that math is a little off. Tbh, those little cans of compressed air are usually around 10 ounces, but a gallon is 128 ounces, so you're looking at more like 12.8 cans to make a gallon. At $5 a can, that's actually around $64 a gallon, not $60. Still crazy expensive compared to gas, but the numbers matter. Ngl, I did the same thing with a can of WD-40 once and it came out to like $100 a gallon for that stuff. It's wild how we just toss these cans without thinking about the markup.
