The week I got recalled to the same house 3 times turned me into a perfectionist

Man, I had a similar stretch about a year ago wiring up a basement suite in Lethbridge. Three callbacks in two weeks, two were bad receptacles from the supply house and one was my fault for not tightening a ground screw enough. That last one was a 10 minute fix but it totally changed how I work too. Now I just take the extra five seconds on every connection, even if I'm behind schedule.

Can we talk about the 'no salt' policy at that new place in Boise?

Man, that reminds me of this sushi spot I went to in Portland where they had a "no chopsticks" policy. The chef wanted everyone eating with their hands like it was some ancient tradition. I spent the whole meal wiping sticky rice off my fingers while trying not to drop my eel roll into the soy sauce dish. Honestly, I get wanting to control the experience, but sometimes these rules just make the customer feel like they did something wrong by existing.

Appreciation post: the old guy at the feed store who caught my chicken math mistake

Wait, isn't a 250 watt bulb for chicks still pretty standard? I've always used one and never lost any, maybe I've just been lucky with the brooder size or something. That ceramic one sounds like it'd barely keep em warm if your setup is drafty.

Tried that free Python course on YouTube and got stuck on loops for 2 hours

Gotta disagree with @the_sarah, sometimes you just need to move on and come back to loops later.
