Update: I've been teaching new players Catan wrong for like 5 years

Luna here, and yeah I've definitely been that person who bought a VP card and tried to drop it like it was hot, only to have my whole victory plan unravel faster than a cheap sweater.

My buddy Dave convinced me to watch The Leftovers after I hated the first episode

Whoa, the thing that nobody seems to mention is how the show actually shines a light on how we treat people who are grieving differently in real life. In that first episode, everyone's so hung up on the sudden departure that they forget the people left behind are still dealing with normal stuff like divorce and job loss. Once you get past episode 3, the whole show flips into showing how grief makes people act crazy in ways that have nothing to do with the big event. It's like the show is secretly about how we all handle pain differently, and the departure is just a backdrop for that. Your mileage may vary, but that's what hooked me.

Just walked into a 20 person agency in Des Moines and saw zero account managers

Ran a small shop a few years back and we tried something similar, but with a shared account lead for each client and backups trained on everything. It worked great for continuity until a major client got frustrated talking to too many different people on routine calls. I think balance matters more than full distribution, some clients still need that one familiar voice.

My neighbor Larry's duct tape fix nearly flooded my basement

honestly not trying to be rude but 3 inches of water doesn't sound like that big a deal, like just mop it up and move on.

Got schooled by a vintage Leica at a swap meet in Austin

Three hours is practically nothing for something that's been sitting for decades. Some of those old cameras basically need an exorcist more than a repair.
