i mean its just a board game box, not like you were trying to fit a sofa in a smart car lol. but yeah thats annoying when youve got the wrong pieces mixed in.

Nah, I gotta disagree here - hiding from traffic on side streets usually just dumps you right back into the same mess with more stop signs and surprise pedestrians. These "secret routes" always end up getting clogged once a few people post about them online, then you're right back to square one. Plus Marine Drive already moves pretty well for a main road, you're probably saving two minutes max once you factor in the slower speeds through neighborhoods.

The 90s web design struggle was real but I actually miss the simplicity of it. You had to actually learn how things worked instead of just dragging and dropping everything.

300 board feet is exactly the point where I start thinking about building a privacy screen or a small shed from scratch, but redwood and cedar are too nice for that. Last summer I built a couple of planter boxes for a neighbor out of the same stuff and it rotted in two seasons because I didn't seal the ends. You might want to sort it by species and condition first, because mixing dry redwood with wet cedar in a project will warp everything in a year.

@the_kevin I guess if you call it "mastering" something then sure, numbers can go up. But most people I know who are really good at stuff just do it without thinking about it. They're not sitting there watching a snowball get bigger. They're just trying to get through the day without messing up too bad. The numbers part is usually someone else keeping score while you're still figuring out where you put your keys.
