Listened to my friend gush about Mercado do Bolhão after his trip. He took @lucasw84's advice and showed up around 11:30, beat the worst lines for sardines. Said the pastel de nata from that bakery stall was still warm, way better than the touristy spots. Honestly, he spent maybe 12 euros on food and wine, felt like a local king. Tbh, the vinho verde from the blue awning stall made his whole day. Ngl, skipping that market is a huge mistake if you want real Porto.

My studio's new Carlisle helped me nail repeatable seals way faster than my old uneven pipe. Sometimes that consistent tool lets your skill grow, even if @green.john misses the soul in handmade stuff.

Wait, you seriously thought it made people lazy? I mean, the computer can check a hundred things in the time it takes to check one by hand. It just seems wild to me that anyone would choose to do all that extra work for no reason.
