My neighbor called me out for my lawn sprinkler setup

Funny how that works... my old roommate used to blast music super early on Sundays. Took a noise complaint to finally see his side of it.

My old boss in Phoenix always said to double-check the panel's ground before leaving. I didn't listen on a job yesterday.

Yeah, locktite on a ground wire does sound odd at first. I read a forum post where someone swore by a dab of clear nail polish instead, kind of like what @the_oscar mentioned. It holds the screw but doesn't hide the wire, so you avoid that extra troubleshooting step later.

Update: My attempt at air fryer 'fried' pickles went a bit sideways

Actually saw a food blog post about this exact problem. They said you have to freeze the battered pickles for like 20 minutes before they go in the air fryer. It lets the coating set up so the fan doesn't blow it all off. I mean, it makes sense because that's basically what happens with frozen store-bought stuff. Maybe try a super cold batter too, idk. The blog also said a lighter spray of oil helps it crisp without sliding.

I rewatched the 2016 Point Break remake last night and it made me miss the VHS era

Jennifer_henderson89 nailed it about movies having no soul. That slick Total Recall remake felt like a tech demo, not a story. It makes you miss the grimy, lived-in feel of the old ones.

My niece called my favorite 2000s band 'dad rock' and I had to laugh

My 12 year old nephew said Green Day is classic rock now. The timeline just moves faster than we do, and there's no fighting it. Honestly, the cargo shorts were comfortable.
