I was trying to fact-check a moon landing claim at a family dinner and it blew up

My uncle pulled the same thing last year with the shadows. Showing him the actual Apollo mission transcripts just made him call them fake documents. Once someone decides all the proof is part of the lie, you can't win with facts. I just change the subject to football now.

My neighbor's new paint job showed me why trim color matters more than I thought

Totally get what you mean about clean and simple, @janab87, but I read that contrast actually helps define the house's shape from the curb.

Wrist pain from diesel injector work is brutal

Heard a landscaper in Denver say they never use more than three materials on a facade

That's actually a solid rule for way more than just houses. You see the same thing with outfits or even a good burger, too many toppings and it's just a mess. It's about editing yourself down to what actually works instead of throwing everything at the wall. Makes sense that keeping a facade simple with just a few materials would look way more put together.
