Overheard a guy at the gas station in Flagstaff say 'if it ain't broke, you haven't modified it enough' and honestly... he might be onto something.

Serious question, is anyone else's ice cube tray a total pain to fill?

Wow, a baster for each cube!

My friend told me my pour-over technique was way too fast, said it tasted 'sour and weak'. Slowed it down to a 4-minute brew and wow.

Yeah that "sour and weak" taste is a dead giveaway for under-extraction. Grind a bit finer next time and you'll lock in that perfect timing.

Unpopular opinion: I think a full moon is actually a decent time for backyard astronomy

Read an article once that said double stars are great for bright nights. Makes sense, right? They're just points of light.

Had to pick between a $40 pipe wrench and a $15 adjustable for a stubborn sink fitting.

My old foreman used to say a pipe wrench is just a persuasion tool with teeth. He had one where the jaws were worn smooth from convincing so many fittings to move. The goal is off, not pretty.

Hell yeah, aaron708 is right. A few marks is a total victory. I had a shutoff valve so frozen I thought I'd need a torch. My pipe wrench chewed the hex flat, but that fitting came off. Sometimes the right tool for the job is the one that wrecks it a little to get it done. Chrome can be replaced, but a broken fitting stays stuck forever.
