Found a crazy stat about freelance rates from a decade ago

It's like looking at old grocery receipts... the price jumps just sneak up on you.

I switched to a 10-inch breaking knife for my primals last month and my trim waste dropped by almost 15%

Yeah, I had the same thing happen when I switched to a stiff boning knife for breaking down shoulders. I mean, the flex in my old one was just too much, made me cut into the meat when I was trying to follow the bone. This one keeps me right on track, so I'm not ruining good cuts. It felt like a small change but the waste just dropped off.

Rant: Saw a 'diesel mechanic' at the county fair in Springfield using a kitchen knife on a fuel line

Oh wow, that story really shows how desperation can override common sense. What gets me is the amount of effort he put into that bad fix, cutting the inner tube and attaching all those ties. He probably felt so clever for a minute, but that's a lot of work just to make a bigger mess. It makes you wonder if he even considered how hot an engine gets.

Rant: My camping trip in the desert destroyed my skincare groove

Oh my god, the DESERT saw your skincare routine and took it as a personal CHALLENGE. It's like the wind and dust were a mean little team trying to undo years of careful moisturizing in one weekend. Your face probably felt betrayed by the very concept of vacation. I bet your regular lotion looked at that dry heat and just gave up immediately. Welcome back to civilization, where the air doesn't actively hate your pores!
