I thought my credit score dropped because of my new card, then I pulled all 3 reports and found a 6 year old medical bill from Denver

Update: paid $15 for that cheap jeweler's loupe on Amazon and honestly it beats my bench scope for quick checks

Pro tip: don't say you wouldn't cancel the guy who left 300 pounds of spaghetti in a hot car, I learned this the hard way at a cookout in Reno

Watched a YouTuber with 2 million subs get canceled over a 12 second clip last Tuesday

Guess 12 seconds is all it takes to end a career these days, wild stuff.

Taught my nephew's chatbot to answer his own homework questions, and the difference in 3 weeks surprised me

Doubt a chatbot deserves credit for him learning anything.

Guy told me at the supply house that 9 out of 10 'dead' fridges just need the coils cleaned

Man that dog hair story hits home, pulled the same felt pad off a rental unit last summer and the tenant was ready to buy a new fridge. Feels bad charging a full diag when it's ten minutes and a shop vac, but you still drove out there and you still knew what to look for. Half the time I just clean it and tell them to keep an eye on it, then hand them a brush for next time.

PSA: I skipped my company's mandatory 8am Zoom for 2 weeks and got more done than in the past 2 months

Wait, 22 people on a call and only 3 ever talk? That is wild to me. That means 19 people are just sitting there on mute burning an hour of their day for nothing. I knew these meetings were mostly useless but seeing it put that plain is kind of blowing my mind. No wonder your on time rate jumped, you were actually working instead of listening to three people talk over each other.

PSA: I spent 6 hours chasing a 'broken' dryer when the real fix was a $9 part

Man, I heard a repair guy on a podcast say like 80 percent of dryer problems are just airflow. He said people buy new machines when all they needed was to pull out a wad of lint the size of a hamster. Wild how we always jump to the expensive stuff first.
