Dropped $47 at a Minneapolis coffee shop on a "flight" and could not taste one single difference

Ha, and half those "notes" are just the barista putting ideas in your head

A guy in Tulsa told me to use a heat gun on a dented bumper and I almost laughed at him

Heat works great on the soft covers like that Camry but watch the ones with a lot of age or sun damage, they get brittle and will crack on you. Keep the gun moving and don't get closer than a few inches and you'll be fine. I've been doing it for years and only lost one, and that one was already cracked before I started.

Tried quenching a small blade in canola oil at 130 degrees and the hamon came out blotchy

Did you check if the pan depth was the real issue?

Used to climb with a cheap rope and a prayer, now I run a 150 foot Yale Blaze and it's a different job

Reminds me of when I switched from an old beat up bike to a decent one for my deliveries, night and day difference in how my legs felt by the end of the day. Some folks just don't know what they're missing till they try something that actually works with them instead of against them.
