My buddy Jake spent last summer digging post holes for his fence by hand. He said hitting clay felt like a personal fight, which really gets at what @fiona739 said about feeling connected. Now he rents an auger and misses the dirt under his nails but not the back pain.

Have you ever tried baking with that old-school flour from a mill? I mean, what nathan said totally checks out. I used some unbleached stuff from a local farm last year and my pie crusts came out so much flakier. Idk, maybe it's just me but the store-bought kind always makes things tough. That weaker protein really does make a difference for tender pastries. It's like they've over-processed all the good out of it.

Always keep a backup copy somewhere else too.

On my 2005 Corolla, heat shield rattles were a constant headache. I learned to tap the shield with a rubber mallet to find loose spots fast. Got any other tricks for tracking down weird car sounds?

Actually, steel beams weigh tons. That lunchbox was just holding a sandwich and some tools.
