Why does nobody mention the 2x4 trick for keeping a shed floor level on a slope?

Warning: I switched from hot glue to contact cement on EVA foam and now I can't go back, but is it actually better?

Saw a 1 star review that said the toaster was "too good at toasting," so I clicked and now I can't stop reading

Suspiciously perfect toast? That's insane.

Job foreman scrapped my broom finish over a tiny bird track

600 squares is basically a whole soccer field of tile gone because of one little bird footprint, which honestly sounds like something I would do after a bad day. @alicecooper I once repainted an entire wall because I messed up one corner, so I get the impulse even if it makes zero sense.

Unpopular opinion: the little $8 thermometer I got at a hardware store in 2012 beats every fancy one I have tried since

Wait, you paid 8 dollars for a thermometer back in 2012 and it still works? That part blows my mind more than the accuracy thing honestly. I have gone through like four digital ones in that same time and every single one died after a season or two, usually from moisture getting inside. The battery door thing always busts too when it gets cold. Your point about checking temp at bag level is so real though, air temp at eye level tells you almost nothing about how cold you will actually be.

Pulled 6 straight good shots on my $90 setup this morning and I'm still grinning

Ha, six in a row would have me checking to make sure I didn't accidentally grab someone else's grinder! My record is probably three, and one of those was pure luck because the beans were so fresh they forgave all my mistakes. Half the time I finally nail the grind and then realize I've already burned through the good part of the bag. By the time I get it dialed, I'm out of beans and back to square one with a new roast. You better go buy a lottery ticket today, because that Ethiopian bag clearly picked you.
