Found a stash of old selenium cells in a junk shop last week

Whoa, hold up, I gotta call you out on something. Those old selenium cells, they don't really have "rated sensitivity" like modern photodiodes or silicon cells do. They're just naturally wider in how they respond, so getting within 10% of anything that specific is more like luck than a sign of quality. Still, that's a killer find for five bucks, and getting a Nikon F meter head working again is a solid win. I'd say it's more a fluke with those particular cells than a rule, but hey, beats paying for a new meter.

Finally tried dipping fries in a Frosty after my friend called my ketchup habit boring

I'd say start small with the dipping ratio, like just barely touch the Frosty with the fry tip. The cold and hot contrast is what makes it work, too much and you're basically eating a melted chocolate soup with soggy fries. If you want to level up, try the spicy chicken nuggets with the Frosty next time, the heat and sweet combo is where it really gets interesting.

A buddy of mine stared at a blank screen for two hours before writing out his plan on paper first.

Hit 100 consecutive days of eating beans...

Actually beans and rice together make a complete protein, so it's more balanced than you'd think.

Went to a local con and saw how collectors treat their books

Huh, my cousin kept his comic books in the attic and now they're just crispy rectangles with yellowed tape marks.
