Why does every new rental on the west side skip the garbage pickup schedule?

Warning: I wired a whole house with 2-conductor instead of 4-conductor for keypads and had to redo it all.

Finally swapped out my old analog meter for a Klein Tools MM600 and the difference is night and day.

A guy at the bus stop in Chicago changed how I tip

Nah, counter workers work just as hard. Tip everyone or nobody.

I finally got the new band saw blade dialed in after a month of fighting it.

Man, that's such a classic life hack.

PSA: My copy of Scythe's factory-sealed board had a huge crease right through the middle

Oh man, that's brutal for a brand new game. I'd be so mad lol. Definitely contact them, Stonemaier is supposed to have great customer service. You paid for a new, undamaged product, not a factory second. The crease would drive me nuts every single time I set it up. Just shoot them an email with a picture, worst they can say is no.

My bus broke down in the rain outside Tacoma and I had to walk a mile to the next stop.

Like leow90 said, it feels like basic reliability is just gone now.

I bought my sister a fancy coffee machine for her birthday and it was a total flop

Feel like I could win a gold medal in bad gift giving sometimes. I once bought my buddy a whole set of fancy grilling tools because he mentioned "smoking a brisket" one time, turns out he was just quoting a TV show. Totally get what @lucask11 is saying about mixing up a one-off thing for a real hobby. At least your sister was cool about it and you guys turned it into a shopping trip, that's a solid save. My friend just looked at the tongs like I had three heads.
