inPSA: That $50 'miracle' drain cleaner did absolutely nothing for my clogged sink
Completely agree, I fell for that same marketing trap big time. Bought a fancy enzyme drain cleaner that cost like 30 bucks and it barely did anything, then just used a cheap plastic snake I got at the hardware store and cleared it in 2 minutes flat. Feels like half this stuff is just designed to make you feel smart for spending more money when a basic tool does the job way better.

inDebate: is AI art actually killing real artists or just changing the game?
The Photoshop comparison misses how Photoshop still needed human skill for every step, while AI skips straight to a finished piece without any of the craft or decision making. It's less like a new tool and more like hiring a robot that does all the work for you.

inRant: old way of truing wheels vs. new method after 30 years
Oh sure, because nothing says "I love biking" like spending 500 bucks on a truing stand and then obsessing over a tenth of a millimeter while your buddy's wheel is still wobbling from the 90s. I got a TS-2.2 a few years back too, felt like a real pro until I realized I spent more time cleaning the dial indicator than actually riding my bike. Guess I'm just a sucker for fancy toys that replace the "good enough" method.
