The night I saw three orbs over Phoenix and it still bothers me

I was out in my backyard in Phoenix around 2 AM back in March 2019, just looking at stars after a late shift. Then I saw three orange orbs moving in a perfect triangle pattern across the sky, no sound at all. They glided slow and steady, then just vanished one by one without fading like a plane would. I checked flight radar on my phone and there was nothing in that area for miles. My neighbor came out too and saw the same thing, we both just stood there confused for like 10 minutes. I still can't explain it and I think about that night way too often. Has anyone else seen orbs that move like that and then just disappear?

Watched The Room for the first time with a buddy in 2015 and waited 45 minutes for the famous scene.

I thought I was doing bad movie nights all wrong. I used to skip around looking for the funny parts. My friend Mike made me sit through the whole thing without any fast forwarding. He said you have to earn the bad moments by seeing everything else around them. That 45 minute wait for the "You're tearing me apart, Lisa!" scene made it hit so much harder. Now I watch every bad movie from start to finish like that. Has anyone else had a viewing ritual that totally changed how you enjoy these movies?

Question about those fancy titanium sporks I saw all over YouTube

I was sure those $25 titanium sporks were just hype from influencers trying to sell stuff, but after breaking my third plastic one on a trip to Shenandoah last month, I finally caved and bought one. Honestly, it's held up through 8 meals so far without a scratch, which is way more than I expected from such a light piece of gear. Has anyone else found a piece of gear that actually lived up to the online hype?

Thought my oven was broken but it was just the baking soda I forgot to replace

Burned two batches of cookies last Sunday before realizing the expired baking soda was too old to do anything, now I'm wondering if anyone else has chased a phantom fix only to find out it was something stupid simple.

Stumbled on a stat about dust in server rooms that caught me off guard

I was reading through some old IT maintenance manuals I found at an estate sale last Saturday, just flipping pages. One section said that a typical office environment has around 150,000 particles per cubic foot of air, but a server room should be under 50,000. That really hit me because I've been slacking on air filter changes in my home office setup for months, and I bet my own gear is choking on dust way worse than I thought. Has anyone else checked their particle count or just wing it like I was doing?

Three weeks of nothing but coffee maker repairs...

I swear every single job that came through the door last Tuesday was a Keurig or a Mr. Coffee with the same damn pump problem. Anyone else get stuck in a weird streak like that where it's the same failure over and over?

My friend swore that rinsing canned beans saves money. I tested it and here's what happened.

Vent: Spent $150 on a tablet stand and it was totally worth it

I finally caved and bought a Parblo adjustable stand for my drawing tablet after using a stack of books for like 2 years. The thing cost me $150 at a shop in Austin and my wrist hasn't hurt once since I got it 3 weeks ago. Has anyone else dropped money on ergo gear that actually paid off?

PSA: Heard a GC say drywall is just a filler trade

Was on a job in Bakersfield last Tuesday and overheard a general contractor tell the homeowner that drywall is basically just a filler trade anyone can do. Took everything I had not to drop my pan. Made me realize how little respect we get for the actual skill involved in mudding and taping clean. Anybody else run into people who think this job is easy?

Hit 100,000 miles on my '04 F-150 yesterday - never made it that far before

I rolled over 100,000 miles on my old work truck yesterday. That's the highest I've ever gotten on any vehicle I've owned. Usually something major gives out around 80k or 90k, like a transmission or a timing chain. This thing still has the original alternator and starter. I'm wondering if it's just luck or if that era of Ford trucks was really built different. Has anyone else had a truck or car go way longer than you expected without major issues?
