Just realized I dropped $75 on a variant cover I already owned, lmao

I was so hyped for the new #1 that I grabbed the 'virgin' cover without checking my box, and now I have two identical books except one has no trade dress.

Honestly, my friend told me my plant shelf looked like a 'sad hospital ward' and it stung

Spent $150 on a noise meter for my apartment and it changed how I see my own habits

I live in a pretty old building in Portland and was convinced my upstairs neighbor was being super loud at night. I bought this little Decibel X meter app for my phone, and it turns out most of the noise was actually my own fridge and air purifier running. It cost about $150 for a decent calibrated setup, and now I realize I was blaming someone else for my own environment. Has anyone else had a moment where measuring something totally shifted who you thought was at fault?

Just realized my model plane build helped spot a real panel problem

Putting together a scale model at home, I noticed the rivet pattern was off. It made me double-check a small plane at the hangar, and I caught a misaligned panel!
