TIL my coworker tried to pay me in vintage comic books for helping with his taxes

Honestly, we were having lunch and he asked for help with his tax forms. Tbh, I gave him some basic tips about deductions for his side gig. Ngl, he got so excited he offered me a box of old comics as payment, saying they're a better investment than stocks. I had to explain that while they might be cool, cash is still king for buying groceries. It was a funny moment that made me realize how differently people view money.

Why learning C first helped me code better than my Python pals

I learned C first and it forced me to understand memory management. Now when I use Python, I appreciate what's happening under the hood.

The diesel trucks on my street used to rumble, now they just hum...

I miss the old roar... But I guess the new engines are better for the air. Still, it feels like part of the neighborhood's character is gone.

Local body shops rushing estimates worry me

Everyone around here seems happy with the new shops that do quick digital estimates. I've seen three cars in my area come back with problems because the scans missed frame damage. We need to slow down and check things by hand to do it right. It's better to take a little more time than to have unhappy customers later.
