Ever think about what could have happened without those glasses? That kind of close call is exactly why I never skip eye protection. A metal chip at speed can do real damage in a split second. It's not worth risking your sight for any job, no matter how quick it seems. Glad you learned that lesson without getting hurt. Now you're set for life with that habit.

Honestly that sounds incredibly wasteful to me. All that time spent scrubbing one cup could add up fast, and a dishwasher uses way less hot water than running the tap. You also end up with soggy sleeves and a counter covered in drips, which just makes more cleaning.

I used to grab a huge handful too lol. Seeing how much those packets actually cost the business made me scale it way back. Now I just take what I know I'll use for that meal.

Unreal, I totally wrote off that trail as overhyped for ages too. Then I got my own goat escort and felt like a minor celebrity, just like @the_lisa's friend with his backpack mob. Something about a bunch of animals deciding you're interesting really makes a hike stick in your head. I guess the crowds are right about this one, even if it's for the weirdest reason.

Wait, you mixed all that mortar by hand? My back hurts just thinking about it.
