inThat 14-hour shift in Baton Rouge where everything went sideways
Man that sounds like a total mess. Dropping a 2,800 pound drum off the deck could've killed somebody, so at least everyone walked away. But the torch re-cert after all that? That's just salt in the wound. I've seen a plant make a whole crew redo lockout training because one guy forgot his tag, and it ate like four hours. One bad move turns a 14-hour day into a 20-hour day real quick. Hang in there, that kind of shift makes you want to just sit in the truck for a minute before driving home.

inTried audiobooks vs physical books for our club debate
Ran my own little test on this for a thriller last month. Caught way more foreshadowing in the audiobook because the narrator paused at the right spots, but I kept zoning out during slower parts. Physical book let me flip back and check stuff, which helped for the discussion, but I forgot half the character names by the time we met. Best thing I did was listen to the first half on my commute then read the second half on paper over the weekend.

inUgh why does everyone think a half empty jar of pickles lasts forever in the fridge?
Omg you've totally changed my mind here. I used to think pickles lasted basically forever like hot sauce or something, but now I'm paying way more attention to how the brine looks. Like seriously, if it's getting cloudy and funky I'm not risking it, even if the jar says it's fine.
