Wait, Dave actually showed you the wear pattern on the cassette? That's wild. I mean, I knew wet lube was bad for attracting dirt, but I didn't realize it could literally sand down your components in just two months. That's kind of horrifying when you think about it (especially if you're on a budget like me). As for dry lube, I've had decent luck with the Squirt stuff, but it definitely needs a reapplication if you hit any morning dew or light rain.

Oh man @quinn_nelson, my buddy's phone charger from 2015 fried his toast last week.

Brooke, switching to a local coffee shop fixed this for me. They prioritize walk-ins.

Bro you ever seen what happens when someone tries to save 20 bucks on a set of glow plugs? Lol I had a buddy do that on his 6.0 and two of them swelled up and had to be drilled out. Took him a whole weekend and he still ended up buying the Motorcraft ones anyway. That motor swap bill must be brutal though, I swear cheap parts always find a way to cost you triple in the end. My grandpa used to say "buy once cry once" and he was dead right. I'd rather cry over the price of good parts than cry over a hole in my block lol.

3 years of Bombadil rants from @wright.jesse's buddy Carl sounds like the kind of friendship tax we all pay for having friends who read books. At least Dave only made you wait 3 years to prove his point, Carl's probably still going to be arguing about a singing tree at the retirement home.
