Lost my job over a tweet criticizing workplace culture. Was it fair?

Damn, same thing happened to me last year. Got fired for a vague tweet about toxic bosses. My contract had a vague "conduct" clause they used. Learned the hard way that general statements still get read as being about your workplace. It's not really fair, but companies protect their image first. You gotta assume anything online can be traced back.

Struggling with smoky flavor: more wood vs. less smoke. My fix changed everything.

Isn't it simpler to just throw it all in at the beginning? I mean, @park.miles, I used to add chunks slowly too. But letting it burn down early gives a cleaner smoke, idk. Maybe it's just me but the meat doesn't taste as bitter.

Appreciation post: Moisture-resistant drywall in basements is catching on fast around here.

In Michigan, basements often have humidity issues, so moisture-resistant drywall is a no-brainer. It's crazy that this is a NEW trend, because water problems underground are OBVIOUS. Some builders just use cheap stuff to save money, and then homeowners pay for it later. This stuff should be standard, not an extra option. Better materials mean fewer headaches for everyone.

Rant: My compost bin drew rats and set back my green goals

@avery861, saying it's the number one warning is overkill lol. Plenty of people toss food waste in compost without issues. My neighbor never read any rules and his pile is fine, he just turns it a lot. Some methods need food scraps to work right. Learning by doing can be better than stressing over every rule. Plus, rats aren't always a given if you manage the pile well.
