inCan we talk about the grocery bag trick that fixed my Gloomhaven setup time?
Did you use ziplocs or just the regular thin bags from the store? I did something close with little bead boxes from the craft aisle for all the tokens, and it cut my setup way down too. The fancy insert that came in the box was actually making things worse for me.

inUnpopular opinion: the guy at the auto parts store in Tacoma was right and the flat earth video was garbage
Four numbers in a 90 minute video is being generous if it's the one I'm thinking of. I remember one of these channels spent 20 minutes on a time lapse of a plane window and never once said how high the plane was, how far it flew, or what the curve should even look like from that height. That's the trick, because a number is a thing you can go check and a feeling is not. Same reason those ancient aliens shows always say "could it be" instead of actually dating anything. Once you start counting the real claims in these things, most of them fall apart before the 40 minute mark anyway.

inGC told me my framing crew was putting headers in backwards on a $680k build in Boise
Laughed at the part about walking every opening with plans in hand because I learned that lesson the hard way too. Had a GC stop my crew over a simple door header that was supposed to be a 2x10 but we had crammed a 2x8 in there, and he just stared at me like I was his teenager who forgot to take out the trash. Took my guys half a day to pull it and swap it, and I still had to buy lunch for everyone so they wouldn't be mad at me. Now I tape the plan sheets right inside the front door of every house so nobody can claim they never saw the detail. Nothing keeps you humble faster than a guy in a clean truck pointing at your work and being right.
