Why does nobody talk about the sheer TIME it takes to properly organize a comic collection?

I spent 18 hours over a weekend just trying to sort my 500+ single issues into a coherent reading order for a single character's 90s run, and I'm still not done.

I swore by my cordless drill until I flooded my bathroom floor trying to install a towel rack

I was in my apartment in Denver, trying to mount it above the tile, and the drill bit slipped, cracking a pipe behind the wall, which led to a $300 emergency plumber call and a huge mess that convinced me to always, always use a stud finder and check for plumbing lines first, even for small projects. Has anyone else had a simple project go sideways in a spectacular way?

My friend in Turkey got his account locked for sharing a news link

Last week, my friend in Istanbul tried to send me a link to a local news story about a protest. His social media account got locked for 24 hours because the platform said it broke their rules on 'harmful content'. The story was from a small paper there, nothing violent, just people talking. It made me think about how a rule made for one place can stop people everywhere from sharing info. Have you seen other cases where a country's ban changed what you could post online?

My first air fryer disaster involved frozen fries and a smoke alarm

I was in my old apartment in Columbus, maybe three years back. Just got the air fryer and was too excited to read the manual. Threw a whole bag of frozen fries in there, way over the basket line. Five minutes in, the smoke alarm starts screaming. Opened it up and the fries on top were totally black, the ones underneath were still frozen. The whole place smelled like burnt oil for a week. I learned you have to shake the basket, and never fill it past halfway. Now I do small batches and it's perfect. Anyone have a good trick for getting that burnt smell out of the machine itself?

So I looked into that banned Chinese cartoon everyone was whispering about

I figured it was just edgy for no reason, but the actual plot about a corrupt village chief got it pulled from all platforms. Now I'm torn between thinking it's important social critique or just too inflammatory. Anyone seen 'Xiao Hong's Summer' and have a take?

Finally got a clean pull through a packed conduit in an old apartment building.

Pro tip: My buddy said to just post the raw data on that forum, and it got me banned in a day.

I mean, I was on this tech forum for hobbyist data stuff, and I found some public numbers about city water usage that looked off. My friend Jake, who's on there a lot, told me, 'Just dump the spreadsheet link, man. People want the facts, not your take.' So I did exactly that last Thursday, no comment, just the link. The mods banned me within 24 hours for 'spam and low-effort posting.' Idk, maybe it's just me, but I thought sharing the source was the whole point? Turns out their rules said you have to start a discussion, not just drop a link. Has anyone else gotten hit for posting raw info without enough of their own words around it?

Tbh, our local fan group's cleanup day at the park, themed after our favorite heroes, was actually fun and green.
