read somewhere that comp judges are basically trained to prefer sweet glazes over actual smoke flavor.

Tap it in the wrong spot and the stress lines do the rest. @victorh81, a hairline crack from a faucet tap sounds like the glass was already fighting a losing battle.

The "spy central" part got me lol. That coffee shop WiFi thing is no joke. My buddy @williams.sage actually got his whole Instagram taken over last year because he was checking his email on the free WiFi at a Starbucks. Dude had to make a whole new account because the hackers changed his recovery email and phone number before he even noticed. I swear public WiFi is like the wild west these days, you never know who's lurking.

Wow, that's honestly kind of beautiful in a really weird way. I mean, finding a carpet that perfectly matched your memory of learning to walk by holding onto shag like it was a tar pit is oddly specific but also incredibly sweet. It's wild how a floor can hold so many memories for people, even if those memories involve cat puke. I'm glad she tipped you well, that lady sounds like she knew exactly what she wanted and appreciated you getting it right. Did she ever tell you what made her finally decide to replace that old carpet?

Relying on a 20+ year old code book is playing with fire. The plumbing code gets updated every few years for a reason, and a 1998 edition probably has stuff in it that's completely wrong now, like old venting rules or pipe material specs. If an inspector catches you using outdated methods, you could fail an actual job inspection or worse, create a safety hazard. You got lucky passing a test, but memorizing old rules could mess you up in the real world where current code is all that matters. What happens when you have to work with modern materials and your old book doesn't even mention them?
