inShowerthought: Why not collect rainwater for your houseplants?
But is it really worth turning into a whole project? My gut says you'll just end up with a bucket of mosquito larvae and some weird green algae scum. Most people's gardens need a couple gallons a week, tops. Seems like a lot of hassle to save maybe five bucks a year on your water bill.

inMy online class fell apart during a camping weekend
Yeah that sounds rough. Did you try any local offline setups, like a text editor on your tablet that saves automatically, or were you fully relying on the browser and cloud connection?

inMy month-long struggle with a single writing prompt and what it taught me
Clear weird detail" is a good way to put it. I heard a podcast where someone said starting with a single odd rule for a world makes the rest fall into place easier. Like if gravity worked backwards every Tuesday, you suddenly have plot points instead of a blank page. It's less about the big idea and more about the one strange hook.

inMy time in the shop has me believing that old school carburetors teach more than fuel injection.
But isn't it true that many newer cars don't even have mixture screws you can adjust by hand? The computer manages fuel mix based on sensor data, so you often need a scan tool to see the full picture. Trying to turn screws without that info can actually throw off the engine's programmed settings. That hands-on feel is cool for older engines, but with modern ones, you gotta blend both methods to really get it.
