inJust realized how much easier it is to dig into old mysteries now
Yeah the captain was American but the crew records are mostly in Spanish which is super random for a Caribbean run.

inChanged my mind about inflatable sleeping pads after 10 years of foam
Sleeping through a hailstorm without feeling a single rock is basically the dream. The thing nobody talks about is how much easier inflatables are on your joints when you're getting up to pee at 3am, foam pads make you roll like a beached whale. That alone sold me.

inPSA: I used to think cable housing length didn't matter that much
Honestly, that "just trim it later" thing is so real. I had a buddy who kept his dropper post cable like a foot too long because he was too lazy to cut it. We were out at Tsali last fall and his post kept getting stuck halfway up on climbs. We tried everything, lubed it, pulled it out by hand, nothing worked. Finally a random guy eating lunch at the trailhead saw us fiddling with it and was like, "Your housing is kinked where it loops around the motor." He was right. That extra loop was putting a sharp bend in the cable. We trimmed it right there with a multi-tool and it worked perfect after that. I felt like such an idiot.

inRant: My book club spent 45 minutes arguing if the narrator was unreliable or just dumb
Okay but I actually think there IS a right answer, or at least a more solid one. Amy is definitely smart, sure, but calling her "just smart" kind of lets her off the hook for being genuinely unhinged. She literally framed her own husband for murder, faked a pregnancy, and then killed someone who was trying to help her. That's not just a smart move, that's a calculated psychopath move. I get that it's fun to debate but I think people get so caught up in her being clever that they forget she's ALSO dangerous and crazy. They're not mutually exclusive, you know?

inDiscovered that mixing 10% purple shampoo into my regular wash really helps brassiness
Wait, did you use sulfate-free shampoo just because you mixed the purple in? I've been doing this for years but with cheap drugstore shampoo and it works exactly the same. The purple pigment does the heavy lifting, not the base formula.
