PSA: My neighbor's $400 composite deck looks brand new after 5 years while my wood one is a constant weekend project.

I spent every spring staining and sealing my pressure-treated pine deck in Mesa, but his composite boards just get a quick hose down and still look perfect, so why are we still pretending wood is the better choice for a backyard deck?

How do you explain it? I just call it a heat map, like @lily230's food thermometer but for the house.

TIL that shared house internet often doesn't work when you need it most.

Honestly though, do you really save a draft offline every single time before hitting post? Feels like most people just trust the auto-save these days.
