Wasted $90 on a 'self-mixing' mud hopper that clogged solid

It jammed up after the first bucket on a Reno job, and I lost an hour cleaning it out. Anyone have a hopper they actually trust?

I finally tried grinding my beans right before brewing instead of buying pre-ground

For years I just grabbed the big bag of pre-ground coffee from the store, thinking it was fine. Last month, my brother gave me a cheap hand grinder and a bag of whole beans from a local roaster in Portland. The first cup I made with fresh grounds smelled completely different, like actual fruit instead of just 'coffee smell'. The taste was way brighter and cleaner, with none of that flat, bitter finish I was used to. Has anyone else made this switch and found a specific bean that really showed the difference?

My client's toner turned her hair a weird shade of green last Thursday

I was in my chair at the salon in Riverside, and the toner grabbed way too much on her pre-lightened ends. I had to do a quick color remover and re-mix with a violet base to cancel it out. Anyone else have a toner go sideways like that?

My measuring tape showed two lengths for one wall in under a minute

I was redoing my living room and needed to cut some baseboards. I pulled out my tape, stretched it across the wall, and read 120 inches. I double-checked because I'm paranoid, so I measured again right away. This time, it said 122 inches. No joke, same spot, same tape, within seconds. I even had my buddy watch me do it a third time, and it went back to 120. How does that happen? I think this stuff is more common than people admit. We just brush it off as mistakes, but what if it's the universe glitching? Now I'm second-guessing every measurement in my house.

We found out too late about the tournament deadline...

By the time we got there, all spots were gone... Save yourself the hassle and register early.
