Finally sold my first piece from a sketch I made three years ago at a cafe in Austin.

Oh man, that's awesome... it's like our brains are just slow-cookers for ideas. @faitha40's buddy with the math class cartoon proves it, some stuff just needs to sit in a drawer and marinate. Congrats on the jumpsuit finally getting its day in the sun.

I just hit 50 batches of air fryer chicken wings and it made me see the whole thing differently

Remember my buddy who swore his air fryer was broken because his wings kept steaming? He was crowding the basket so bad they were basically boiling in their own fat. Took him maybe 20 sad batches to finally listen and cook in two rounds. His magic number ended up being 390 for 22 minutes, no flip, with the wings in a single layer. The look on his face when he bit into one was pure shock, like he'd just won a prize.

I keep seeing people at my shop in Phoenix use canned air wrong and it's killing drives

Wait, what's the actual wrong way they're using it? Tilting the can wrong and getting liquid propellant on the board is the classic killer.

My neighbor's dog vanished for a full day and reappeared in a locked room

Yeah the "glitch in the matrix" thing Brian_Kelly91 said hits home. I keep seeing tiny stuff like that, like my keys being somewhere I already looked. It feels like the rules are just a little loose sometimes.

Just read that a 1% grade on a 200 foot crane pad can put you 2 feet out of level. Found it in an old NCCCO study guide.

Ever wonder how they level the crane itself?
