Spent 4 hours wrestling with an AI image generator because of one dumb setting

Honestly, did you ever check if the software had some kind of "preserve settings" toggle buried in the options menu? I had a similar thing with a video editor once where every update would flip my export settings from H.264 to some weird codec that made my files huge. I spent like two days re-exporting stuff before I found a little checkbox that said "keep custom settings through updates." It was just sitting there in a submenu nobody ever looks at. These devs really need to stop treating user configs like disposable data.

Switched from clipper over comb to shear over comb for bald fades

You ever have one of those days where you're just rushing through a cut and miss a spot? My buddy was trying shear over comb for the first time and nicked a guy's ear lobe with the comb... had to run to the back for a bandaid.

A rancher in Boise changed how I handle pork shoulders

Doesn't that just keep it warm instead of actually cooking it?

Question about that 3-in-1 kitchen gadget I saw 47 ads for on Instagram

Wait, does that mean you think 45 minutes is too long for a first time with this kind of thing? I have a buddy who tried the same product and he said it took him almost an hour just to get the two halves apart. He's not the most handy guy, but he's not dumb either. He had to look up a video online because the manual just showed a picture with no real steps. And @emma_garcia, I see your point about ads and sales, but my friend literally said the plastic felt like it was welded together. After a couple tries he got it too, but that first time was a real battle.

That rope climbing technique I dismissed for 2 years actually saved my back

Huh, that's actually a good point. Does the footlock really make that much difference vs just wrapping your legs around?
