Warning: A crawling dryer convinced me to check balances first

I always figured weird dryer noises were no big deal, just part of getting old. Then I had a job where the machine was actually moving across the floor, lol. The client sent a video of it inching toward the door during a spin cycle. When I opened it up, a support bolt was gone and the drum was hanging loose. It was a mess to fix, but that video stuck with me. From then on, I make sure to test the balance and tighten everything before calling it done. It's become my first step, and it's saved me from repeat calls. Honestly, that walking dryer was a wake-up call, lmao.

Gave up on searing meat to keep it juicy, here's why.

I always thought searing meat before roasting locked in all the juices. After testing it many times, I saw the meat was just as dry or moist either way. A cook I know who reads a lot about food said searing just makes good flavor from the browning. Like with pork chops, I now just put them in the oven without searing first. They come out fine and I don't waste time on that extra step. Lots of chefs still push this idea, but I think it's not true. Cooking to the right temperature is what really matters for juicy meat.
