Spent 8 months trying to dial in a pour over that kept stalling out on me

Wonder how many perfectly good mornings were ruined over a paper filter wrinkle.

Unpopular opinion: the moon landing faking theory misses basic physics

Is it really that deep though? Like I get that the guy at the bar was annoying, but the whole moon landing conspiracy thing is more of a cultural joke at this point than an actual debate. People see a five minute YouTube video and suddenly think they're physicists. The lighting thing always cracks me up, because if you actually try to map out where the sun would be relative to the shadows in those photos, it lines up fine.

Spent 4 HOURS just trying to get one stubborn bolt off my alternator bracket

Took me three hours and a bruised knuckle on a 2003 Civic last year. That bolt was so seized I thought about just leaving the alternator in there forever. Ended up having to torch the bracket a little with a propane can and then it finally gave with a loud crack that almost made me jump off my creeper. Felt like winning a war, honestly.

Changed my mind about UV light for fungus after seeing a lens clean up

Got a UV lamp after seeing the same thing with a Helios 44, now I use it on old dusty thrift store glass before even trying to clean them. It's like how I let a soapy sponge sit on a burnt pan for a few minutes before scrubbing, just makes everything come off way easier.

Yeah JIS is a total game changer.
