I dropped $200 on a 'complete' Silver Surfer run that was missing 4 key issues

Found a listing on a collector's site last month that said it was the full 1987 series, but when the box arrived, issues #34, #50, #75, and the annual were just not there. The seller ghosted me after I sent a message about it, so I'm out the cash with a big hole in my collection. Has anyone else gotten burned by a 'complete run' listing that wasn't actually complete?

The amount of people who still don't set their UCS to 'World' before exporting to PDF is genuinely baffling.

I just had to rework a set of MEP shop drawings from a sub where all the text and dimensions were at a 45-degree angle because they were still in some custom UCS from a detail view.

I always thought you couldn't put a wet batter in an air fryer, but a cooking blog post from 'The Kitchn' proved me wrong.

Just realized I've pulled over 10,000 feet of 12/2 in my career

It hit me when I was finishing a basement rewire in Akron and had to order another 250-foot roll. Anyone else ever stop and count something like that?

Trying to find a show to watch with my husband took us 45 minutes last night, what's a good compromise show for a sci-fi fan and a true crime fan?

My mom told me to put a little water in the bottom of the air fryer basket for chicken thighs

She said it would stop the fat from smoking up my apartment. I tried it last night with some bone-in, skin-on thighs. It worked, no smoke at all, but the skin came out totally soggy and pale, not crispy. I mean, I guess it solved one problem but made a worse one. Anyone have a trick to stop the smoking but still get that crispy skin?

Our inventory count in the Chicago warehouse took three full weeks to fix

We switched to a new inventory system called StockSync in January, and the data migration messed up our counts for over 2,000 SKUs. My team thought it would be a two-day cleanup, but we had to manually verify every item against old records. What's the fastest way you've fixed a major data error like this?

Got a 7-day ban from my town's Facebook group for correcting a fact about the new library hours

Had a VHF comm go completely dead on a Cessna 172 after a routine annual. The pilot called it in from the ramp.

Just found out the Appalachian Mountains are way older than I thought

I was reading an old geology textbook from a yard sale and it said the Appalachians started forming around 480 million years ago. That's older than the Atlantic Ocean. I always figured big mountains like that were maybe 100 million years old tops. The book said they've been worn down so much they're basically the roots of the original mountains. It makes you think about how long rock can last. Does anyone know other mountain ranges that are actually older than they look?
