Drove two hours to a dark sky site, set up my whole rig, and a single cloud parked right over the Andromeda galaxy for the entire night.

Spent 3 hours yesterday trying to center a div. What's your most embarrassing 'simple' fix that took forever?

I just hit 500 orders for my custom dried flower wreaths this year, which is wild because I only started offering them in March.

I was stuck on a question about local history for days until I tried a different search trick.

Try adding "site:gov" to find official records, like @the_margaret said.

PSA: Our club's debate on 'The Overstory' lasted 47 minutes before anyone mentioned the actual trees.

Ever get so caught up in the people stuff you forget the actual point? I did that with a nature doc once, argued about the narrator's voice for an hour. We are all just terrible at seeing the forest for the trees, I guess.

My cousin in Tampa lost a drone to that soup, @abby_wilson51.

My new fitness tracker bricked itself during a software update

DAE hit 100 lines of code that actually worked and feel like a genius?

Totally get that feeling, man. My first win was a text based adventure that was maybe 80 lines. Spent hours fixing stupid typos, and when it finally ran without crashing I felt like I had unlocked some secret power. That high is what makes you want to keep going even when it gets frustrating later.
