inRant: My old adobe wall started crumbling after that big rain last month
Heard a local contractor say that old adobe walls like yours, @seth_martinez21, often crack when the ground gets too wet and then dries fast. He explained the clay soil underneath swells and shrinks, stressing the base. Said it's common after a real rainy season followed by quick heat.

inShoutout to the person who brought a 12-page annotated character analysis to our 'fun summer read' meeting
Honestly, where did you read that two minute rule, @river_burns? Tbh I saw a thing online about using a physical timer for book clubs, like one of those big kitchen ones you can see across the room. The sound of the bell going off makes everyone laugh and it stops the long talkers without feeling as mean. Ngl, setting that fun tone from the start is the only way to stop the binder people.

inTIL my plan to fix a leaky faucet in my Portland apartment turned into a bigger mess
Well that's one way to give your kitchen a deep clean, right? Classic move, turning a simple cartridge swap into an indoor fountain feature. At least you didn't try to stop the spray with your thumb like a cartoon character. Bet you won't forget the main shutoff again.
