Checked out that new 'artisan' butcher counter in the Westgate mall and their 'dry-aged' ribeyes looked like they were cut with a butter knife.

The fat cap was completely ragged and the steaks were all different thicknesses, which tells me they either don't sharpen their gear or they're letting someone with zero training on the saw.

My line snapped halfway through a 50-foot wall last Tuesday and I had to redo the whole bottom course.

Honestly, I switched to a heavier nylon line from the supply house and now I check it for frays every morning before I start.

My phone's battery was dying fast until I checked the screen brightness

I mean, I kept thinking my phone was just getting old, but after a trip to Seattle last month I looked at the battery usage. The screen was using over 60% of the power because I had the brightness cranked all the way up from being outside. I turned on auto-brightness and now I get through a whole day easy. Has anyone else found a simple setting that made a huge difference like that?

Finally got my polar alignment right after two whole nights

I was trying to get a good shot of the Andromeda galaxy from my backyard, but every long exposure had star trails. The problem was my tripod wasn't perfectly level on the uneven ground. I spent about six hours over two nights just fiddling with the leveling base and the polar scope on my Sky-Watcher mount. It finally clicked when I realized I had to adjust the azimuth bolts much more than I thought. Has anyone else had this much trouble getting started with a new mount?

My coworker begged for years... still won't get my burger secret.

If you want my burger recipe... you better marry into the family.

My visit to the Denver Airport left me questioning all the mural theories

I had a layover at Denver Airport last month and decided to explore. People online always debate the strange murals and their meanings. I saw the mural with the dead soldier and crying children, and it felt weird. Some say it's just art, but others believe it points to secret groups. Chatting with other passengers, a few mentioned rumors of hidden bunkers. This experience got me thinking about how airports fuel conspiracy talks. Now I notice similar stories at other travel hubs.

The new housing project cut off access to my go-to overnight loop.

Now I have to drive an extra hour to find a decent spot. It's annoying when development gets in the way of good trails.

Got into a debate with my brother over my old iPod Classic. He says streaming is king, but I love having all my music offline.

TIL a quick fix for cold doors from a vacation home

Tbh, I was in a vacation home up north and their door seals were perfect. Now I need to do mine. What's the best weatherstripping for an older frame?

My stubborn pride over fridge coils met a humble mirror

I always thought the mirror trick for back coils was silly. Seeing the clog without moving the unit proved me wrong.
