inSpent $95 on a 'repair kit' for a Canon AE-1 and only used one tiny spring
Small thing, but the AE-1 light seals aren't craft foam, they're closed cell foam that won't soak up water or turn gummy over time. Craft foam is open cell and it'll break down and get sticky in a year or two. Buy a sheet of closed cell foam from a camera supply place or a craft store that sells it by the sheet, and cut your own strips.

inMy sister's phone guessed she was pregnant before she told anyone, and I can't stop thinking about it
Watching your phone turn into a psychic is both funny and creepy at the same time, like congrats, your pocket spy just beat your sister to her own announcement. But @michaeltorres nailed the part that actually bugs me, it is the stacking that gets you, not any one ad. A single baby ad could be random, but add up years of location pings, late night searches, shopping habits and suddenly the thing knows your life before your family does. Here is the boring truth though, it is probably not reading her body, it is reading the tiny clues we all drop without thinking, like a change in what she googled at 2am or how long she paused on some post. Still, "it is just math" stops being comforting when the math is better at guessing your secrets than your own sister. Nobody signed up to be predicted, we just clicked accept on stuff we never read and kept scrolling.

inUnpopular opinion: the pro painter who said my roller marks were 'fine' set me back 3 months
Man that stings, 3 months of your summer gone over a roller nap. Been there with a fence and it never did "smooth out on its own", the texture just sat there taunting me until I redid it. Sanding a whole garage door sounds like my own personal nightmare.
