TIL my studio's floor leveling took almost a month to get right

On its own personal journey" lol. How many bags did you end up going through before you finally got it flat?

My friend the graphic designer told me Comic Sans actually has a purpose.

Honestly that's exactly what I heard too. My cousin has dyslexia and she swears by Comic Sans for reading long emails or documents. She told me the irregular spacing between letters is actually a feature not a bug because it stops the words from blurring together. Ngl it totally changed how I look at things like Papyrus or even that old-timey cursive font that nobody can read. Turns out a lot of "ugly" design choices were solving real problems but we just didn't know about them. Makes you wonder what other stuff we're judging too harshly without knowing the backstory.

A customer's bike nearly fell apart because I was over-tightening carbon seatpost clamps

Respectfully disagree @joel536, most stuff still works fine by feel if you're not hamfisted with it.

Found out my bank's savings account was earning 0.01% interest

Saw a similar story on Clark Howard's podcast the other day and it blew my mind. People are literally leaving thousands on the table by not moving their cash. I used to be loyal to my big bank too, thinking they were doing me a favor by offering a checking account with no fees. But 0.01% is basically a slap in the face when inflation is eating away at your money. I moved my emergency fund to an online account last year and it's wild seeing actual interest hit each month instead of pennies. The big banks are just betting on customer laziness, and it works lol.

I finally realized my color theory was way off after 3 years of digital painting

Man, that seems like a lot of drama over some orange and purple.
