UGH same thing happened to me at Big Bend. Some guy warned me about my stakes in the caliche dirt and I totally ignored him, then spent an hour hammering bent pegs out of the ground at midnight. Now I carry those big orange MSR ones and honestly I feel like such a dumbass for being stubborn about it.

Mods on crypto forums are volunteers, not fact-checkers, so they often ban first and read later. A UN report is solid evidence, but if the link was a direct PDF, some mods treat that as spam instead of a source. Try messaging the head mod instead of the general appeal box, that usually gets a better answer.

The spreadsheet is the only thing keeping the plants alive, honestly. My neighbor calls mine the "water bill binder of shame" but he's just jealous his lawn looks like a crispy waffle.

Eating the whole cake in one sitting" is exactly it, but for me the weekly wait was always more about the dread lol. Like I remember a show I watched years ago, every week I'd sit there with my coffee and just stress about what cliffhanger they'd leave us on. By the time Sunday rolled around I'd completely talked myself into a dozen wild theories that made zero sense. Binging just kills that whole ritual, you know? You stay up till 3am finishing it and then suddenly it's over and you're just lying there staring at the ceiling with nothing to look forward to.

Pulled the drain plug on my old F-150 at 120k and found the same kind of glittery mess. Turns out the pinion bearing was going bad, but I caught it early. Flushed it out with some cheap gear oil first, ran it for a week, then dropped in the good stuff. Been 30k miles since and no noise or metal on the next change. Worth checking your driveshaft u-joints too, that slop can work its way back and mess with the diff.
