inWent to a car wash in Detroit that's fully automated now, no humans in sight
Oh man, that checks out completely. I've heard similar whispers about that place.

inCuttings in water vs soil for rooting succulents, which side do you fall on?
Yeah you hit on something real with the race against rot part. I've been doing water propagation for years and that callusing step is way more important than people think. I actually started dipping the cut end in cinnamon powder while it's drying. Sounds weird but it's a natural fungicide and I swear my rot rate dropped like crazy. Also I noticed you mentioned water temp and that's huge. I keep a thermometer in my prop jar now because if it's below 68 degrees most succulents just sit there doing nothing for weeks. Another thing is I use rainwater when I can get it. Tap water has too much chlorine and other stuff that slows roots down. I collect it in a bucket outside my back door and let it sit for a day before using. That plus the cinnamon trick got my echeveria props rooting in like 10 days flat.

inTIL I had been drilling through live wires for years without knowing it
My stick one cost like $12. Been sitting in a drawer for two years. For one wire check? Not worth overthinking it.

inJust found out USDA yield grades are mostly based on fat thickness, not marbling
Had a friend who bought a prime grade strip from a local butcher and it was all fat cap, barely any marbling inside. He was so ticked off he drove back and demanded a refund, but the guy behind the counter just pointed at the stamp and said it's prime, that's the grade. He ended up trimming half the steak off and still had a tough piece of meat. Made me rethink trusting the grade stamp alone for sure.

inTIL my $10 emergency poncho was basically a trash bag with a hood
Man my $5 poncho turned into a sad wet scarf in like 10 minutes flat.
