Spent 4 hours formatting a single internal memo because nobody agreed on font size

Is it just me or does @the_ben secretly enjoy these pointless debates as a way to procrastinate? I swear font size arguments are the office equivalent of rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic except everyone's shouting about kerning instead of icebergs. Last time we had this fight at my old job someone actually brought out a ruler to measure line spacing on a printed document. We ended up compromising on 11.5pt which is scientifically proven to be the most annoying size to adjust in Word.

I went back to the old observatory near Flagstaff and the view was just gone.

Man, I gotta say @leo_thomas2, you kinda changed my mind here. I used to think light pollution was just a city problem and you could always find a spot. But last summer I drove two hours out to what I thought was deep country and still had that orange glow on the horizon. Makes me worry my nephew growing up now might only ever see like 20 stars instead of the whole bowl of the sky.

Vent: Spent 5 years listing my Lynnwood house with staged photos before I realized buyers just want to see the actual layout.

Hold on wait, you actually staged empty rooms to look bigger?

That $300 ECU flash on my 2015 Silverado was a total waste

Read a post on a truck forum where a guy said the same thing about his 2014 Silverado. Paid $250 for a flash and ended up with misfires and a dead battery after a week. Seems like these cheap flash tunes are a gamble. The shop that did yours probably just copied a generic map without adjusting for your specific truck. I'd rather save up for a proper dyno tune from a shop that knows these trucks. Those oxygen sensor issues you had are a classic sign they messed up the fuel trims.

I just realized my writing prompts were all the same kind of story

Found all my old songs used the same four chords.
