inAppreciation post: the 20 year old dive knife that saved my air line near Port Aransas
Snapped a tip off once too, which is why my backup knife now has a backup knife.

inTold myself the 3.6 Pentastar tick was normal for 60k miles, then a $1,100 quote proved me wrong
I read a thing from a Chrysler tech saying the 3.6 lifters fail way more than people think, and the tick is basically the rocker eating into the cam. Wish I had seen that before I dropped the money. Mine went in at 78k when the shop pulled a chewed up lifter, same story as yours.

inA guy handed me a water damaged Nikon F3 in Tucson and told me his dad shot the moon landing with it
Picture fixing a camera that's been to the moon and back while your coffee gets cold.

inWatched a barista in Portland pour my latte and it changed how I steam milk at home
Did you ever try the trick where you stop steaming before it gets too hot? I always figured foam was all about how hard you push the steam, so I'd crank it and end up with big bubbles every time. Then a guy at a shop in Seattle showed me he barely opens the valve and just holds the tip near the top for those first few seconds, same as your barista. My milk got way silkier after that, and I had to admit I'd been doing it wrong for years.
