inTook me 3 years to finally give in about busking downtown
And honestly I was the exact same way for years. I used to think buskers were just people who couldn't hold down a real job. Then one rainy Saturday I saw this older lady playing a violin under an awning, she wasn't perfect but her eyes were closed and she was just lost in it. I threw in a couple bucks and she winked at me without missing a note. That one second of connection kind of snapped me out of my whole "this is just begging" attitude.

inGuy at the REI told me to skip the water filter on the JMT last year
Oh, yours only lasted two days? I thought I was unlucky. I had the same problem last month with mine. I had to call the service company and everything. They said the fuel gauge on these newer models is just not accurate at all. I was honestly shocked when I had to refill after only three days of cooking. It really makes you wonder what they're doing with the quality control these days.

inSerious question, was that Monday in Phoenix a fluke or the new normal?
Those dead laptops and a server before noon sound like a dream, I feel your pain on the nightmare days though. @emma_dixon70 I totally relate to that loose power button wire story, I once spent a whole afternoon on a rig that just needed the RAM reseated after I'd already taken everything else apart. The printer that just needed a new USB cable is the worst because it makes you look silly, but those lucky streak mornings keep me going.

inSaw a kid on the subway last week watching a video on a tiny flip phone
Lol right? Kid's probably living her best life while we're all doomscrolling into the void. It's honestly goals.

inCrossed 500 episodes of One Piece last night and actually felt a little emotional
Pace yourself and take breaks so you don't burn out, I did the same thing as @the_viola around episode 400.
