inI finally switched to a Klein VDV501-820 for toning out lines
Did you ever get that line out, @sethh12? I had a toner spill on my driveway last year. I used a paste of baking soda and dish soap, scrubbed it with a stiff brush, and rinsed it with the hose. It took a couple tries but it faded enough that I stopped worrying about it.

inHow I traced a weird buzzing sound to a single capacitor
Capacitors get blamed for everything. I usually find it's a ground loop problem long before I start swapping parts.

inSerious question, what's your record for waiting on a subfloor to dry?
Most folks forget the concrete slab can suck up water from the dirt below. A dehumidifier only fixes the air, not the ground moisture seeping through. @janap94, your friend's warped boards might have had wet concrete underneath the whole time. You need a plastic sheet under the flooring to block that. Just drying the air isn't enough if the slab is damp.

inTIL my air fryer tofu tweak crossed a family line
That "cooking guilt" is real. My friend swapped one spice in her mom's famous soup and her aunt texted her saying the ghost of her grandma was now giving her the side-eye. She left the post up but feels weird about it.

inSomeone mistook my CAD printout for a disposable placemat
Oof, that's brutal. Was it the paper type that did it, like that cheap, thin printer paper? Or was it just laying flat and someone saw a big blank space on the back?
