inPSA: Your chain is probably too tight, and I learned it from a 70 year old guy at a bike co-op in Portland
Half an inch of play is the number that saved my rear hub last year. I ran mine tight for two seasons on a fixed gear and cooked the bearings, $60 in parts and a Saturday gone. The old guy at the co-op knew what he was talking about. Loose chains slap and make noise but tight ones eat metal.

inThought dollar store spices were a scam until I cooked a whole chili for $4
Dollar store spices are honestly fine for stuff like chili where you're dumping a ton in anyway. The turnover at those stores is usually pretty high so the bottles aren't sitting on a shelf for years getting stale. I still splurge on a couple things like good cinnamon for baking but for everyday cooking? forget it. Kroger is just charging you for the glass jar and the label at that point.

inAm I the only one whose first screen printing teacher was a 70 year old guy at a flea market in Ohio?
Youtube taught me plenty, flea market guy taught me feel.
