Yeah that glare thing is real. I started wearing a baseball cap low to block overhead lights and it fixed my whole stance.

My cousin's school district in Ohio just gave every kid a tablet, but half the families can't pay for home internet. They get to watch their classmates do the fancy digital projects while they're stuck with a paper worksheet from 2003. It's like setting up a free buffet but only letting in the people who already ate. We're basically building two separate school systems right in front of everyone and calling it progress.

Wow, I used to hate rules but that separate channel idea actually sounds smart lol.

My cousin's 2008 bridesmaid dresses were that shiny satin, ericp67, I feel your pain. Looking at those photos now is a special kind of cringe. We all signed up for a look that did not age well lol.

My uncle swears his ribs only got good when he stopped using hickory and tried cherry wood for a lighter smoke. It's funny how a small change in your basic materials can unlock a whole new level, like @the_ivan pointed out with the oak switch. You see it everywhere, like when a baker finds the exact right flour or a painter tries a new brush. Why do we stick with the same stuff for years before trying the simple swap right in front of us?
