That one guy at the anime con panel ruined the whole experience for me

and honestly that kind of stuff makes me not even want to go to panels anymore because you KNOW there's always gonna be that one person who can't just let the host do their thing. like i get it, you know your gundam lore backwards and forwards, but the host is literally up there trying to entertain a whole room and you're just gonna shout out corrections like it's a test. it's even worse when the host tries to brush it off and the guy just keeps going, digging deeper into the weeds until everyone's just sitting there in silence waiting for it to stop. those superfans don't realize they're making the whole community look bad because they're so focused on being right that they forget to just enjoy the panel like a normal person.

Changed my mind about using PVA for everything after a workshop in Portland

I used to think any old glue would work, just slap something on there and call it done. But then I tried fixing a vintage book with regular school glue and it was a disaster. The pages got all wavy and the paper tore when I tried to separate them. Now I get it, you absolutely need that flexible stuff that moves with the paper. Your comment really clicked for me after that experience. It's like the difference between a cheap bandage and one that actually stays on.

I chose the LTM 1050 over the Liebherr LRT 1100 for a tight site in Portland

Not quite right. Resale on older trucks with simpler tech is usually higher.

Used to strip every rose stem down to bare thorns before arranging

Wait, do you ever cut yourself on the thorns you leave behind when you're grabbing the stems?

Switched to a Kirby Morgan band mask after a bad day in the Gulf

Oh man, free flow at 90 feet is the stuff of nightmares lol. I had one hit me at 60 feet on a check out dive and I nearly flooded my lungs trying to keep calm while wrestling with the reg. Your poor comms engineers probably hated life too with all that noise. I actually swapped to a full face Ocean Reef after that same kind of disaster and man, the difference is night and day for deep air work. The seal on the KM is great though, you definitely win on durability for sure. Maybe I just have a weird shaped head that laughed at the Poseidon haha.
