inTIL bagging and boarding my floppies in the wrong order cost me a $40 back issue of Saga #1
Did you try sliding the board in so the slick side faces the back of the comic? That's what saved my copies after I made the same mistake, the tape never touches the cover once the bag flap is behind the board.

inBurned 3 batches of chocolate chip cookies last Tuesday because my oven runs 50 degrees hot
Bought a cheap oven thermometer after months of blaming my pans for everything and turns out my oven runs like 40 degrees cold. Now my cookies actually come out right and I feel kinda dumb for all that wasted butter. Seriously just spend the few bucks, it saves you so much guessing.

inMy old design teacher said to never use pure black in digital pieces, and now I'm wondering if that advice was actually right
Ron ever show you a piece where pure black actually ruined it?

inSpent 4 hours chasing a load chart error that turned out to be one dumb thing
Had the same thing happen on a 40 ton up near Stockton last spring, the LMI kept beeping at me on a pick that was well within the chart. I messed with the outrigger setup, checked the anti two block, ran through the whole startup again, probably burned an hour easy. Turned out the boom length cable was just gummed up with old grease and dirt and the reading was off by like 6 feet. Wiped it down and re-zeroed it and boom, problem gone. Now the first thing I do before I even start messing with anything else is walk around and look at every sensor and cable on the boom. Mud, grease, ice, a bent bracket, it all throws the numbers off. Nine times out of ten it's something dumb and physical, not the software. A rag and five minutes beats an hour on the phone with the rental yard every time.
