Showerthought: Remember when we used to hand-draft everything on the shop floor?

Honestly, I was welding a new section of a boiler drum in a Pittsburgh plant about ten years ago, and my old paper template for a manway flange got soaked with cutting oil and tore. Tbh, I had to freehand the cut lines with soapstone and a lot of guesswork, which added like three hours to the job. Ngl, does anyone still keep a roll of that old brown drafting paper around, or is it all CAD prints now?

I chose a cheap $30 multimeter for a car wiring job and it gave me a false reading that cost me a weekend.

Serious question, I switched from a 30 minute daily walk to three 10 minute walks and it actually helped my focus.

I was struggling to concentrate after lunch for months, and my old routine of one longer walk wasn't cutting it. Splitting it into short bursts, like one at 10 AM, one after lunch, and one at 3 PM, kept my energy way more even. Has anyone else tried breaking up their movement like this for a desk job slump?

Serious question, did anyone else see the new bus ticket price in Prague?

I was just there last month and the 90-minute pass jumped from 30 CZK to 40 CKR overnight, which is a HUGE hike for budget travelers. It caught me totally off guard and messed up my daily spending plan. Has anyone found a cheaper way to get around the city center now?

PSA: My boss in Denver said 'you're the best tech we have' and I was still in my first year after dropping out

That was the moment I realized college had me convinced I was behind, when I was actually already doing the job. Anyone else have a boss or client give them a reality check like that?

Vent: The new bakery in Westgate is selling bread that's basically cake

I checked out 'Flour Child' yesterday and their 'artisan' sourdough was so sweet I could have frosted it. It felt like they used a full cup of sugar in the dough, which is just wrong for a proper loaf. Has anyone else run into places that can't tell the difference between bread and dessert?
