I finally got my desk cables under control with some cheap velcro strips

Start by saying those velcro strips are a game changer but that masking tape can leave a sticky mess behind over time (I learned that the hard way on some old power strips). You might want to try those little colored cable tags or even a sharpie directly on the plug housing instead. The vacuuming thing is so true though, it's wild how much dust collects once the cords aren't in the way. I did the same thing with zip ties once and regretted it when I had to swap out a cable later, velcro is way smarter for that.

Air fried broccoli changed my mind about veggies last Tuesday

My coworker Paul bought one last month and now he air fries everything. He told me he made frozen broccoli that actually tasted good, which I didn't think was possible. @nora54 might be onto something because Paul also tried reheating a day-old donut in there and said it came out crispy again. I'm starting to wonder if these things can fix bad decisions.

Hit 500 square feet of seam tape used this year and it hit me
