My phone's battery life tanked after the last update, so I tried a factory reset

I mean, I was down to like 3 hours of screen time last week, which was a huge drop. I backed everything up and did a full reset, and it's back to normal now. Has anyone else had to do this after a software update?

Had a weird squeak in a plank floor that wouldn't quit

It was in a 10-year-old house in Springfield, and the homeowner was going nuts. I tried the usual fixes, like tapping in trim screws from below, but it kept coming back. Out of ideas, I grabbed a syringe and injected a tiny bit of wood glue into the seam, then clamped it overnight. The squeak is totally gone now, a week later. Has anyone else had luck with this glue trick on older floors?

That time a customer's 'engine knock' was just a socket wrench rolling around in the frame rail

Spent 45 minutes with a stethoscope before we lifted it and the 3/8 drive fell out, dude just laughed and said 'well that's cheaper than a rebuild'. Anyone ever find something truly ridiculous during a diag?

My cousin's kid asked me why the president on TV looked 'shiny'

He's eight. We were watching a news clip. He pointed at the screen and said the person's face looked wrong, like a plastic mask. I checked the video myself. The lighting on the left cheek didn't match the neck at all. No natural skin texture. It was a deep fake, a pretty good one too. Made me realize kids might spot the weird stuff we adults just accept. Has anyone else had a kid point out a fake before you did?

Spent 3 hours trying to level a floating shelf in my Chicago apartment

The wall had a slight bow I didn't catch, so every bracket was off. Anyone have a trick for this besides shims?

Why does nobody talk about the cleanup after a viral street art mural gets painted over?

I spent 8 hours last weekend scrubbing spray paint residue off a brick wall in Austin after the city buffed a famous piece, and the hype crowd that took selfies there was long gone.

Figuring out my hammock's sag made all the difference for comfort

No more back pain from sleeping too tight or loose, lol.

Noticed more folks picking up old Dance Dance Revolution pads for cardio.
