inRant: Is buying a storefront worth it or just a money pit?
$8,000 for a roof is brutal though.

inCan we talk about people who film vertical for YouTube when it's clearly meant for landscapes?
@diana617 nailed it with that Twitter thing... portrait mode is fine for selfies and close up stuff but for something like the Grand Canyon? Come on now. I had almost the same experience with a video about the Scottish Highlands, the guy filmed everything vertical and you couldn't see the mountains at all, just this tiny sliver of green. It drives me crazy because you can literally see the potential of the shot is wasted, like why even bother going to these places if you're gonna film it like a mirror selfie. The whole point of a landscape is the wide view, the scale, the way your eyes move across it... portrait mode just kills all of that. I honestly think some creators just rely on whatever their phone defaults to and never question if it fits the content they're making.

inTried pouring a concrete pad for my fire pit and it cracked in 3 days
Tried following the instructions to the letter myself once and still got cracks, drives you nuts doesn't it. But you mentioned you did it on a hot afternoon so it would set fast, was that your own idea or did you actually read that somewhere? I'm just asking because everyone who's done concrete more than once knows heat is the enemy, not the friend, and I'm wondering if you maybe skipped over that part in the instructions. Also curious if you put any kind of control joint in the middle or just poured it flat, because that makes a big difference too.

inThat influencer who faked a charity drive in 2021 still bothers me
The $8,000 she pocketed is the part that really gets me. That's not a mistake, that's a full on heist dressed up as generosity. She had to actively decide to transfer that money and lie to everyone who believed in her cause. I get that people can grow and feel bad about stuff they did, but taking money meant for homeless kids feels next level cruel. Seeing her pop back up on TikTok with a new name just proves she's not even trying to own what she did. I'd need to see a lot of real accountability and maybe some kind of restitution before I'd ever trust her again.

inHand stretching vs power stretcher for tight spots...
Ha! Nothing says "professional install" like getting out the Barbie-sized stretcher for tight spots.
