Was shocked to find out my air fryer uses less power than my microwave

I was looking at my electric bill last night and noticed it jumped. So I googled around and found out my air fryer pulls about 1500 watts while my microwave hits 1800. Found that on an energy savings site called EnergySage. Has anyone else checked their appliance wattages and been surprised?

Hit 12 different countries this year on a shoestring budget and it felt unreal

I started tracking my locations for tax reasons back in January and just added up my total for the year - 12 countries across 4 continents, all while spending under $900 a month total. The milestone surprised me because I thought I'd be stuck in one place for months at a time, but cheap hostels and bus passes kept me moving. Has anyone else accidentally lost count of their countries and then been shocked when they finally did the math?

That whole 'NASA faked the moon landing' video going around with the flag waving is the same debunked clip from 2013

I spent 30 minutes yesterday pulling up the actual Apollo 11 footage from NASA's own archives to show how the flag's movement matches a vacuum environment exactly, and the viral clip literally cuts out the astronaut twisting the pole, so has anyone else noticed how these old hoaxes keep resurfacing with zero new evidence?

Heard a senior tech say check grounds first, saved me 3 hours

Last month I was chasing a Garmin 430 that kept losing power randomly. I spent a day swapping trays and connectors before I overheard a guy with 30 years in the Navy say "always check the ground strap before touching anything." Sure enough, the strap at the back of the rack had a hairline crack I couldn't see. Now I start every intermittent power issue by wiggling that ground. Anyone else have a simple fix that took way too long to learn?

Customer told me my cap replacement looked sloppy... he was right.

The grout color difference between my morning and afternoon shower tiles was wild

Picked a warm gray for the grout last month but after a full day of natural light it looked straight up purple near the window. Has anyone else had grout colors shift like that depending on the time of day?

Still not buying that Logan Paul apology from 2018

I watched his whole 8 minute video again last week and it still feels like damage control to me. He cried at the right moments but never actually said why making a joke about a dead body was funny in the first place. Has anyone changed their mind on this after seeing his later vlogs?

A tile contractor pointed out my grout lines were 1/8 inch too wide

He said water would pool in the wider gaps and cause mold within a year in a shower that gets daily use. Has anyone else had issues with standard 1/4 inch spacers causing problems on a wet wall?

Got roasted for my star trails having uneven gaps

A guy on here pointed out my 30-second exposures had 5-second gaps between them and they looked choppy. Switched to continuous shooting with an intervalometer and the trails came out silky smooth, anyone else get a basic thing wrong for way too long?

Hit 50,000 bricks laid last Friday and it messed with my head

Been doing this 12 years now. Never counted until I switched to a crew that tracks everyone's output. 50,000 is a weird number. Not a million, not a rookie. Just sitting in the middle. Does anyone else track their lifetime count or am I overthinking this?
