My wife told me my new Herman Miller chair looked like a 'futuristic praying mantis' and now I can't unsee it

I just wasted $300 on a custom logo because I didn't check the colors myself.

Actually I see it the other way around. The final check is always on the client, because you know where the logo will be used. I always ask for a test print on my own cheap printer before I approve anything for my shop. It's a hard lesson but it saves money later.

Hot take: my brisket probe failed at the worst possible time last weekend

Ngl that's the worst feeling when your gear lets you down after all that work. My old Maverick did something similar during a pork shoulder cook, just started jumping all over the place. Now I keep a cheap backup instant-read thermometer right in my kit, the kind you can grab at any store. It's saved me more than once when the fancy electronics decide to quit.
