Shoutout to the guy who told me to use a dab of synthetic oil on a sticky shutter curtain

Man that's a real bummer, sorry to hear it messed up your client's photos. Using oil on shutter curtains is such a classic piece of bad advice that keeps getting passed around. For the FM2, a tiny bit of lighter fluid on a q-tip worked for me once, but you gotta be super careful. Maybe try that on a test roll first next time.

I finally asked a customer at my Saturday market stall why she always buys two of my rosemary focaccia loaves.

That's a really sweet story, but I have to ask about the logistics. Doesn't the texture of the focaccia change a lot after being frozen and thawed? It seems like it would get soggy. Maybe she has a special way to warm it up that keeps it good. What's her secret for making it still taste like home after a trip from the freezer?

Just realized how much I've learned about painting since my first messy attempt

Yeah @grantk61, reminds me of the time I tried to paint over wallpaper glue. Looked fine for a day then peeled off in sheets. Had to scrape the whole wall and start over.

TIL I've personally replaced over 500 DEF injectors in the last two years.

Is that just your shop or a wider thing? Could be a bad batch of parts, not the whole system.

The difference in my service calls after I started doing a full walkthrough with the homeowner

But come on, is watching someone use a garage door opener twice really necessary? Feels like overkill for something that just needs batteries. Most people can figure out a button.
