Notice how @uma91's lunchbox trick shows we all solve one mess by borrowing order from another hobby.

Remember that trick with a pinch of baking soda in onions to help them caramelize faster? My old grill cook showed me that. I thought it was nuts, but it totally works without making them taste weird, just gets them soft and sweet in half the time. Changed my whole burger game. What's the best weird tip you've actually kept using?

Wait, is it really that big of a deal though? Sure, paper maps are cool for marking stuff, but my phone is right in my pocket and works fine. Most of us are just trying to get somewhere without getting lost, not find secret paths. It feels like you're making a simple choice into some huge life changing thing.

Dead ends just make the puzzle better, @shane_carr.

Look, everything's a remix anyway. @patcoleman is being too careful, sometimes you just vibe with a style and run with it. Why hide the inspiration instead of just being open about what you love?
