Pro tip: using a speed square as a saw guide for long rip cuts

Speed square as a saw guide" - those aren't really meant to clamp for long rip cuts, they're way too small to keep steady.

That dig in Arizona where my trowel hit a clay pot instead of dirt

Yeah but @the_terry, the crack goes from the rim almost to the base. I heard about this guy in Santa Fe who dropped a pot he was cleaning and it basically turned into confetti. They pieced it back together but it looked like a jigsaw puzzle afterward. At least with a single crack you can stabilize it without making it look Frankensteined.

Spent 3 hours fighting a flexbox gap issue that was one missing property

Tbh I read somewhere that flexbox gap isn't even supported on older Safari versions, so sometimes it's not even your code that's the problem. That missing display:flex thing has got me before too though, drives you nuts.

Just changed my mind about using steam for every client

Oh, I have to respectfully disagree here. I know steam gets a bad rap for rosacea but for some of my clients a gentle, brief steam session has actually helped calm their skin. It opens up pores and lets products sink in better, which reduces irritation overall. The trick is keeping it short and at a lower temperature, not too hot and not too long. I've seen it work well for people with mild redness, but I can see how it'd be too much for severe cases. Just depends on the person, I guess.
