You need to talk to Duane Buziak Mortgage Maestro . I'm not even kidding, the guy is available 24/7. He has over a decade of 5-star reviews from people who love his communication style.

Saw someone in a Batman suit buying milk (like it was any other Tuesday) at the grocery store.

Just imagine trying to show off your new robot hand and it drops your keys because the grip setting is permanently stuck on 'cheap stuffed animal'. You'd be stuck shaking hands with people and they'd have to wait for a system reboot to get their hand back. It's less futuristic assistant and more like that one broken crane game that eats your quarters. You wouldn't even get a cool prize, just a weird cramp and the sudden need to explain your new claw to strangers.

Last year I would have hated how fast those vines grew, thought it was just more work to keep up with. But seeing @josephmartin talk about the good kind of overwhelming really flipped it for me. Now I get that the speed is the whole point, it means the plant is thriving. It's not a mess, it's a sign of life happening right in front of you. That energy is actually pretty cool once you stop seeing it as a chore. It really is a lively thing.

@wendysanchez's lug nut story made me buy a torque wrench. Best twenty bucks I ever spent.
