inAppreciation post: Paper worksheets versus Google Forms for my 8th grade history class
Hang on, wait - they were actually typing emojis in the answers? That's insane to me. I've seen some goofy stuff but that's a new level of nonsense.

inThat dig in Ohio last month was a total disaster
Oh man, I totally feel you on this. Yeah, "total disaster" is a bit much (though I get why people get frustrated in the moment). I've been on digs where we lost half our stuff to a freak rainstorm and ended up scraping with tent stakes and old paint scrapers, which is honestly kind of hilarious looking back. The handles snapping thing is a pain, but a good stout stick or even a sturdy spoon will get the job done if you're careful. I think what matters is whether the team kept their heads down and got the context right despite the setbacks. That's the real win, you know?

inMy offset smoker firebox rusted through mid-cook last Saturday
Makes me wonder if they're building stuff to break on purpose now, just like they do with phones and printers where the battery dies right after the warranty ends. Had a buddy's grill go the same way, firebox rusted through in under four years even though he dried it out after every cook. Seems like planned obsolescence is creeping into everything we buy, not just electronics.

6 years of profiles and you still had to rewrite the entire thing, right?
