My cordless clipper battery gave out mid-fade on a Saturday rush

Tell me about it, I feel like we're all stuck on one of those fast conveyor belts at the airport and someone just hit the turbo button. Two years is nothing, you can't even get a decent houseplant to settle in that time. Maybe we all just blinked and missed the part where things were supposed to get better. Honestly at this point I'm just waiting for the next weird thing to go wrong.

Went to a coffee shop in Portland and saw a kid using a weird way to learn Python

It's like how cooking shows let you see the dish come together step by step.

I bought a cheap plastic shed from a big box store and it turned into a kite

That "storage is in my roses" text is a classic. I learned the hard way that those plastic sheds are basically big lawn bags if you don't anchor them. You gotta use those big ground anchor kits and screw them right into the floor frame, not just the little stakes they give you. Even then, I'd throw a couple of concrete blocks inside on a windy day.

Vent: My journeyman in Tacoma always said to skim coat with a 12-inch knife, no exceptions.

Seriously, the bigger the knife the better for ceilings.

Trying to figure out the watch order for the Fate series almost broke me

Honestly, I started with Zero and it was fine. The whole watch order debate feels like people making it way more important than it actually is. You just watch a show about magic and sword fights. If you like it, you watch the next one. It's not that deep.
