Appreciation post: I just realized I've been overcooking my scrambled eggs for my entire life after watching a chef in Paris do it in 90 seconds flat.

Try cooking rice like pasta, it's way easier.

Appreciation post: I tried a dark roast from a local roaster in Austin and it was way too acidic

Totally get what you mean! I had a dark roast from a shop up north that was shockingly sour, like biting into a tart apple. It completely threw me off because the bag promised smoky flavors. @morgan_ramirez makes a good point, I usually expect that from a light roast, not a dark one. It really shows how much the roaster's process changes the final cup.

Overheard a contractor on a job site in Spokane talking about 'good enough' framing gaps

Where did you hear it from?

Hot take: I think the push for magnesium floats on every job is overkill

But honestly, how slick are we talking? Like a skating rink or just a normal damp sidewalk? Feels like inspectors sometimes just need to find something to say. I get the safety thing, but @riverthompson might be onto something with it being a bit of a luxury worry. Most people just walk on the stuff. If it meets code and drains right, a good finish should be fine. Making it worse on purpose seems silly.

I accidentally set my line weight to 0.13mm for a whole section drawing

We had a plotter at my old office that would just give up on anything under 0.18mm. It would make this sad little clicking noise and skip right over the conduit layouts. We ended up having a whole office rule about a minimum line weight because of it. The newer machine they got doesn't seem to care at all, so it might just be an old hardware thing.
