Found out some comic fans actually dress up to read at home alone

lol "light candles and set up a special reading corner" sounds like they're about to summon a comic book demon or something. I get wanting to feel immersed but man that's a whole other level of dedication. My Wednesday ritual is just trying not to spill coffee on my new issue while I'm half asleep. But hey if it makes them happy then whatever floats their boat, I guess. Just don't let the neighbors see you dressed up as Batman sitting alone in the dark with candles, that's a wellness check waiting to happen.

That urgent wire transfer I sent from a Starbucks was a nightmare

@ryang65 the sewer drain probably has less packet loss than that Starbucks router.

Friend told me to check out a 'banned book list' for fun and it got weird fast

Your area was crazy about that stuff" - man that's a wild way to downplay 22 books getting pulled. I'd be freaked out if I found out my local library was quietly removing books I actually read in school.

Changed my mind about power stretchers after talking to an old timer

That line "you're gonna be back here in 6 months" really hits home. I had the same wake up call after I tried skipping the power stretcher on a big family room carpet, and sure enough the customer called me back about a bubble near the doorway about three months later. Had to go back and restretch the whole thing, which was way more work than just hauling my power stretcher up the stairs in the first place. Once I started using it on every room (even small closets), my callback rate dropped to basically zero.

I thought $40 collapsible camp chairs were all junk but my friend's one from Target held up through a whole rainy weekend in Vermont

Yeah but who scrutinizes a cup holder after six rainy hours?
