inThat guy at Micro Center who fixed my stick drift with a q-tip
Yeah but it's just a little wiggle @alicecooper, is it really that big a deal?

inI finally cracked the code on informational interviews
Respectfully disagree here. Offering food feels a little too transactional to me, like you're bribing them instead of genuinely connecting over their expertise. Most people say yes to informational interviews because they like talking about their own career journey, not because of a sandwich. I'd rather just send a short, honest email saying exactly what I admire about their path and ask for 15 minutes, zero pressure or gifts involved. The sincerity alone usually works just fine.

inUnpopular opinion: I think the whole 'burp your jar daily' rule for sauerkraut is overkill. I left mine for a three-day weekend and came back to a perfect ferment.
Wait, didn't a buddy of mine try this exact thing with his first batch of sauerkraut? He got one of those fancy glass weights and a proper airlock, set it up in his kitchen corner, and then totally forgot about it for like two weeks. When he finally remembered, the whole house smelled a bit funky but the kraut itself was crisp and tangy, not a speck of mold anywhere. He said he felt like a genius for being lazy, and now he swears by just letting things sit and do their thing.

inJust learned some boiler tubes have a lifespan shorter than I thought
Well, shoot. Yeah, you're right. I bought a pair of boots last year that were supposed to be "indestructible" and the sole started peeling off after six months. Took them back to the store and the guy just shrugged at me like it was my fault for walking in them.
