inWhy does nobody mention the hassle with neighbors when your kraut gets going?
My grandma always made kraut in her kitchen and I thought that smell was just part of it. Jake's balcony move actually makes so much sense for an apartment.

Seriously, you groaned at fantasy? @schmidt.brooke saw that coming.

inRant: My content review dragged on for half a year
I saw a report last year that their main content review team in Phoenix only has about 300 people for the whole site. That's not a tactic, it's just being wildly understaffed. When a post like that news article goes viral and gets mass-reported, it probably gets dumped into a queue with ten thousand other flagged items. They don't have some master plan to discourage you, they just can't handle the basic volume. My guess is your case got lost behind a flood of bot reports and actual bad stuff they have to check first. It's less about strategy and more about a broken system trying to put out fires with a garden hose.

inDAE feel awesome after a year of slow saving for a goal?
My savings plan for a new TV was more like five bucks whenever I remembered. I mean, half the time I'd just order pizza instead, so my fund was basically a joke. But seeing posts like this makes me wanna try the Friday thing, even if it sounds tough. @the_henry is probably right that the patience pays off, but I'd probably celebrate too early and blow it on snacks.

inRant: A passerby kept telling me how to secure conduit on a siding job
Man, that takes me back. A buddy of mine who does satellite installs had this happen last summer. He was on a ladder running a line down this brick exterior, and the neighbor from across the street just wanders over, hands on his hips, going on about the "proper" drill bit for masonry. My friend said he just had to stop, climb down, and basically give the guy a free lesson on shear strength while his coffee got cold. It's amazing how people see a toolbox and suddenly become master electricians.
