I just found out the original Sailor Moon anime had over 200 episodes

I was looking up some old shows on a fan wiki the other day and saw the total count. I always thought it was a long series, but I figured maybe 100 episodes or so. Seeing the number 200 made me stop. That's a lot of content for one story. I watched a bunch as a kid on TV, but they never showed the whole thing here. It makes me wonder how much I actually missed. I guess shows back then just kept going if people liked them. Has anyone here sat down and watched the entire original run from start to finish?

Just had a Cessna 172 come in for an annual in Phoenix with a weird vibration at cruise. Found a crack in the engine mount that was painted over.

My local coffee shop's new card minimum cost me a sale yesterday

I was in Portland grabbing a $3 coffee and they told me the new rule is a $5 minimum for card payments. I just walked out and went to the place across the street that didn't have that rule. Aren't these minimums against the card network rules, or did something change?

My silk sample tore right before a big client meeting in Chicago

I was setting up my presentation and the fabric ripped at the seam, so I quickly pinned it with a brooch from my bag and pitched it as 'wearable art with visible mending'. What's your best last-minute design save?

Vent: I've been pronouncing 'shonen' wrong for like 15 years and my friend's kid finally corrected me.

Just realized my $300 donation to a local political campaign got me labeled a 'troublemaker' by some extended family back home.

In my family's culture, openly supporting a candidate, especially one challenging the status quo, is seen as disrespectful and inviting bad luck, so now my aunt won't even speak to me at gatherings.

My professor shut down a debate on campus free speech policies in my political science class

I brought up a Supreme Court case from 2017 about a public university's speech zone during a discussion, and the professor cut me off, saying the topic was 'too divisive' for a 200-level course. The next week, the syllabus had a new rule banning 'unplanned discussions of constitutional law.' Has anyone else had a class topic declared off limits like that?

Rant: I spent $800 on a fancy inventory system that just made things worse

We bought this software that promised to sync our stock across our online store and two physical shops. It took a full week to set up and never got the counts right, causing us to oversell items and have to cancel orders. The support team just kept sending us links to the same help pages that didn't fix anything. Has anyone else found a simple, reliable way to handle inventory for a small retail business?

Update: I was tracking inventory wrong for my entire first year in business

I ran a small online store selling parts for vintage radios. For months, I just kept a notebook with checkmarks next to items I thought I had. A customer in Denver ordered a specific tube, and I confidently told them it was in stock. When I went to pack it, the shelf was empty. I had sold my last one two weeks prior and never marked it down. That moment, holding the empty box, showed me my whole system was broken. Has anyone else had a simple mistake like that force them to change their process completely?

Honestly thought getting a new passport photo in Shanghai would be a quick errand

Tbh, the rules for the background color and head size were so specific that I had to visit three different shops over two days before one got it right. Anyone else run into this kind of bureaucratic detail that just eats up your afternoon?
