Waited 400 messages and not one person said hey lets grab a beer? That is wild. I counted like 30 parking complaints in my own building chat last month and zero invites for anything. Sal knowing every family 20 years ago and now nobody even waves is kinda sad honestly.

At 2am last winter I was hunched over my engine in a snowstorm cursing my $60"tactical" headlamp that died after 20 minutes. Meanwhile my buddy pulled out some $12 thing he got at the hardware store counter and it lit up half the block. I always assumed cheap meant dim and flimsy, but that night proved me wrong fast. The expensive one had all these modes I never used and still ate batteries like crazy. Now I keep a cheap spare in the glovebox and it has never let me down once.
