Wait, can't some plants actually photosynthesize through their stems though?

Ugh, after my laser measure died mid-job, I just keep a trusty tape measure clipped to my belt now.

Saw a video last week where a guy's whole workbench almost went up because of a cheap power strip overloaded with tools. Good on you for listening to the customer, some people just brush it off. That kind of clutter is so easy to ignore until it's a real problem. Makes me want to go check my own setup right now.

Yeah, that side by side comparison is a real trip. I mean, it's so easy to get swept up in the fast cuts and the questions in those films. But actually putting the NIST stuff next to it, all the slow boring details, makes you see how they leave so much out. It's like one is trying to sell you something and the other is just showing their work. Kinda makes you feel silly for ever buying the first one, but also relieved to have the full picture.

The real gut punch is when you see the indie creators who used to get shelf space now just selling at cons or on Etsy. I met a guy at a zine fest last month who said his local shop cut his mini comics for more Pokemon card displays. Those little books were how I found half my favorite artists, and now they're just gone. It feels like the shops are forgetting what built their community in the first place.
