Rant: found out we burn 11 hours a week on tool logins, and half my team says that's just the job

Can we talk about hitting 500 commercial dives and realizing you still learn stuff every week?

Just hit 1,024 items on my old Palm Pilot and it stopped syncing, is that a real limit?

Figured out my shower leak was a $4 part, not a $400 job, thanks to a plumber at the hardware store

Hot take: I figured the self-checkout lanes were overhyped, then my post office got two of them

Wow, I read that some post offices already use robots to sort mail, so your worry might be closer than you think.

Guy at the Fort Worth Stock Show told me my brisket was "too smoky to judge fair," and now I'm second guessing my whole wood pile

It's just BBQ, not brain surgery.

Spent $1,500 on a resume writing service in Denver and got 2 callbacks in 7 months

Did the $1,500 at least come with a fancy font that got you those two callbacks?

Unpopular opinion: microwaving my potatoes for 5 minutes before the air fryer made the best wedges I've ever had

Par cooking is the way to go for sure. I do mine in the microwave for about 6 or 7 minutes depending on size, then let them cool a bit before cutting so they don't fall apart. The trick is to dry them off with a paper towel after nuking, because any wetness on the surface steams them in the air fryer instead of crisping up. Also try a light dusting of cornstarch with your oil and paprika, it takes that shell to another level.

Hot take: I used to hide banned books from my kid, now we read them together and talk

My sister pulled the same move with "Speak" back when her son was in 8th grade, marched down to the school and everything, then ended up reading it herself that summer and calling me at 11pm to say she was wrong. Funny how actually opening the book works better than reading the angry email forward about it. The part that gets me is how many of these titles are sitting right there on the shelf and nobody blinks until a list says to.
