Did the moon look noticeably bigger to you around 2013 or did I just imagine that?

Wait your coworker actually thinks NASA secretly changed how they process telescope images? That's a wilder conspiracy theory than I've heard in a while, and I've heard some doozies.

Tried cleaning my MAF sensor with brake cleaner instead of the proper stuff...

You ever try cleaning a greasy pan with windex and wonder why your eggs taste like chemicals? Because that's basically what you did. Brake cleaner leaves a silicone film that coats the sensor wires and messes with the voltage reading. Your poor Civic's ECU was getting data that said "air is thick as syrup" and tried to dump fuel accordingly. Next time just buy the CRC MAF cleaner for eight bucks. Or honestly just leave it dirty. Cheaper than a new sensor and way less headache.

Man that's brutal, I feel for your buddy. What worked for me was triple checking every single form against the board's website before submitting, even the little stuff like date format or font size. Have you looked into whether the tenant had any assets you could go after with a small claims judgment?

Started going to one of those once and spent the whole time praying the fire alarm would go off so I could escape. Nothing says team bonding like watching your coworkers sweat through their shirts trying to be funny.
