inI was wrong about Medellín being a perfect nomad spot after seeing the internet speed at my Airbnb in El Poblado drop to 2 Mbps every evening.
Landlords actually know the speeds" made me laugh. My last host in El Poblado swore his 5 Mbps plan was "premium for gamers." I tried to download a simple update and it took three hours. You HAVE to do that speed test screenshot thing. I learned the hard way. Laureles was way better for me too, never had that evening crawl.

inMy writing group made me try a 'character first' prompt instead of a plot one
Wait you wrote 2000 words in two days? I mean that's wild to me, I get stuck on a single paragraph. Maybe the right prompt just unlocks something.

inWarning: The new public bathroom signs in the Denver airport are a disaster
So they actually made it harder to find the right bathroom on purpose? What problem was this even trying to solve, other than making some designer feel clever?

inThat Friday we had 17 wedding orders and the cooler broke
I actually used to agree with robinl90 about turning down work, but last summer changed my mind. We had a huge funeral order and our van died the morning of the delivery. Stuff happens that you can't plan for, no matter how careful you are. Having a backup plan for your equipment is just smart business. Your quick thinking with the rental cooler probably saved all those weddings.

inPSA: A comment on my floor plan made me rethink open concept
Yeah, I ran the blender test last night. The low wall cut the worst of the motor whine, but you're right, the lower rumble still gets through. I added a 12-inch tall MDF panel right at the base as a test, and it trapped a lot of that vibration. Did you seal the edges with foam tape when you tried it?
