Kids have a way of pointing out the obvious stuff we just accept in stories. My little cousin once asked why the characters in a cartoon didn't just call the police when the bad guy showed up. It completely ruined the plot for me because she was right. You get so used to the rules of a made up world that you forget how silly they can sound. Those simple questions really make you see the story differently.

Ever try the freezer trick? My laptop screen went out in Prague and a 20 minute chill session bought me enough time to back everything up.

My oven in my old apartment was off by almost 40 degrees. I burned three batches of cookies before I got a thermometer. That baker is playing a dangerous game with their sourdough. What do you do to check your oven?

But what about the cost? Organic farming like that takes a lot of land and labor. Your cousin's compost program sounds great for a small farm, but try doing that for thousands of acres. Most people can't pay the price for food grown that way. It's a nice idea that just doesn't scale up to feed everyone.

Solid steel is good but I've seen those Torin stands slip on pinch welds before. The saddle is just too rounded sometimes. I put a strip of that rubbery toolbox liner on top of mine, the kind with little holes in it. Grips the metal way better and keeps the car from sliding off if you bump it.
