A superintendent in Denver told me his drone was 'haunted' because it kept landing in the same wrong spot.

Spent $80 on a custom frame for a signed comic and it completely saved the cover

The cheap backing I had before was starting to bend the pages, but this UV-protected one keeps it flat and safe. Anyone have a good source for affordable acid-free boards?

My bench power supply gave up mid-repair yesterday

Was working on a vintage radio, needed a steady 12 volts. The display just went blank. Had to grab my old analog meter to finish the job. Anyone know a good fix for a Rigol DP832 that won't power on?

I used to think watching shows on my phone was the best way to do it

For years, I'd watch everything on my phone, even at home. I thought it was so smart, being able to watch in bed or while cooking. Then, about three months ago, my friend made me sit down and watch the first episode of 'Severance' on her actual TV. It was a totally different thing. I saw all these small details in the office scenes and heard the weird music in a way I just never did on my little screen. I was missing half the show trying to make it fit my life, instead of just giving it my full attention for an hour. Now I save the phone for travel and try to watch new stuff properly. Does anyone else feel like they watch shows better on a bigger screen, or is it just me?

Rant: My boss had me redraw a whole set of shop drawings by hand last Tuesday

We had a big project for a metal shop in Phoenix, and the CAD file got corrupted right before the deadline. I spent eight hours redoing about twenty sheets from scratch on the board because the backup was old. My hand was cramping so bad by the end, but you know what? It made me remember how to think about line weight and clarity in a way I hadn't in years. I was so focused on hitting 'undo' that I forgot how fixing a mistake with an eraser makes you plan the next line better. It was a terrible day, but it actually helped my digital drafting this week. Has anyone else had to go back to the board recently and found it weirdly helpful?

Had a 10-foot insulated unit fail on a downtown job last Friday because the sealant didn't cure right in the cold.

What's your go-to winter sealant for big commercial units when the temp drops below 40?

My delivery van's cooler died during a 90-degree wedding delivery yesterday.

I had to stop at three gas stations to buy bags of ice and stuff the arrangements in coolers. Anyone have a reliable van AC repair shop in the Austin area?
