Serious question, has anyone else's book club gotten totally derailed by one person's strong opinion on a character?

Wasn't Gollum's real problem just a really bad ring addiction?

Serious question, did anyone else think habit trackers were a total waste of time?

My Chicago friend swears by them too, but honestly, how much does a row of dots really fix?

My morning coffee went from bitter to smooth after I started using a kitchen scale

Dude, yes! I did the same thing with my pour over last month. I was just guessing before and my coffee was either way too weak or tasted burnt. Weighed out 18 grams of beans like a guide said, and boom, perfect cup every time. It's wild how such a tiny change fixes everything.

Just realized my neighbor was right about using a 4-inch brush for trim work.

My own trim work is a testament to stubbornly using the wrong brush for way too long.

Rant: I was about to re-cut a whole roll for a weird angle until I tried something with a scrap piece.

Ever try to scribe a piece of baseboard with a compass? I used to think that was a waste of time, just cut it close and caulk the rest. Had a wall with a big belly in it last month, tried the compass method to copy the curve onto the board. The fit was so tight I barely needed any caulk at all, totally changed how I handle out of plumb walls now.
