Hooked up internet at a 100 year old house yesterday...

The walls were packed with that old cloth wiring and horsehair plaster. Made me wonder if running new coax through those walls is even worth the hassle or if we should just push for mesh systems in old construction. What do you guys do with ancient buildings?

My contractor told me to skip the vapor barrier in my basement reno. Three months later I had mold.

After 5 nights of rain near Lake Tahoe, I finally got why people swear by tarp shelters over tents

A subscriber comment about my lighting changed my whole setup

Had a guy comment on my video last month. Said my face looked like a police lineup photo. Flat and shadowy. I was using a single ring light right in front. Thought that was fine. He suggested I try a 3 point lighting setup with cheap work lights from the hardware store. Cost me like $40 total. Tried it for my next video. People immediately said I looked professional. Never going back to that single light. Anyone else get game changing feedback from a random comment?

TIL I was flooding my own helmet because of a bad valve check

After 16 years of diving in the Gulf off Louisiana, I was doing a routine pipeline inspection and kept getting water in my helmet. I finally noticed the leak was coming from my own bailout valve - I had been checking the valve in the wrong position before every dive. What simple habit do you realize you had wrong for years?

Can we talk about my furnace going out in the middle of a -40 stretch

Two weeks ago my 15 year old Rheem furnace decided to die on the coldest night of the year when it hit -42 with wind chill. The heat exchanger had a crack that was leaking carbon monoxide into the house, and I only found out because my CO alarm went off at 3am. Anyone else have a furnace fail at the worst possible time and how did you handle the emergency replacement situation?

Saw a guy using a 4-foot cheater bar on a 12-inch valve flange today

He torqued it down so hard we had to cut the bolts off during the morning bell. Why do people think brute force is better than using a proper torque wrench on underwater fittings?

Tried a rosehip oil serum on my client's acne scars and got way better results than I expected

I had this client from Austin, Melissa, who came in for a facial last month with some pretty deep acne scarring. Normally I stick to my trusty salicylic acid peels, but I figured why not try the rosehip oil I got from a local shop for $16.99. Her skin looked smoother after just two sessions, way less red than with the chemical stuff. Has anyone else found rosehip works better on certain skin types than actives?

PSA: Watching the original before a remake will ruin the remake for you every time

Honestly, I made the mistake of doing a double feature last weekend with the 1984 Ghostbusters and then the 2016 one back to back. The difference was so jarring I couldn't even finish the remake, it felt like a totally different movie with no soul. Tbh, if you're going to watch a remake, don't watch the old one first or you'll just get mad at all the missing charm. Has anyone else tried this and ended up walking away halfway through?

So my automated email reply went to the wrong list of 500 people...

Last month, I set up a welcome sequence for new subscribers but accidentally attached it to our dormant customer segment from three years ago. Has anyone else had a platform glitch cause a major audience mix-up?
