inFound out the SGA limit for 2025 is $1,064 a month and nobody at my county office mentioned it
Ah yes, the old "we only mention free money if you specifically ask about it" policy, very helpful of them. Let me know if you crack the code, cause I'm pretty sure my county's supplement math is written in ancient hieroglyphics.

inThought sous vide was cheating for 3 years until a guy at a steakhouse in Kansas City set me straight
The whole "shortcut for people who couldn't work a grill" thing was me for a while too. What got me was watching a guy nail medium rare edge to edge on like 40 filets at once with zero guesswork, then finish them in a screaming hot pan for the crust. You just can't do that on a grill when you're pumping out plates. I still love live fire for stuff I'm cooking at home, but for consistency at volume it's not even close.

inTraded my digital tuner for a strobe disc, still chasing the perfect deck alignment
That bit about the marks freezing in the light really hits home. I had the same thing happen with my old Dual 1229, the phone app kept telling me I was at 33.3 but something sounded off, like the piano was warbling on stuff with long held notes. Turned out the app was reading my ceiling fan's flicker or something weird. Grabbed a $6 strobe disc off ebay and a neon bulb from the hardware store, and once I got the belt tension right the marks just sat there still as could be. The phone got me close but the disc got me right. You're not being stubborn, you just found the tool that actually tells the truth.
