inShowing a house in NoDa, the buyer's dog tried to claim the master closet.
Seriously, letting a dog pick a house? That's a huge financial choice based on a pet's random whim. What if the roof is bad or the schools are terrible, but the dog liked the closet?

inShowerthought: My grandma's trick for remembering grocery lists without a phone actually works better
Isn't it wild how our brains latch onto physical stuff? I read this article about memory palaces, and it's the same idea. Your brain connects the info to a place or a thing you can touch. A knot in a string is way more solid than a note on a screen you just swipe away. My phone list just becomes background noise, but untying a knot is a whole action you have to think about. It makes the item itself feel more real before you even get to the store.

inI bought a cheap guillotine from an online auction and it cost me $200 to fix
I get what Evan_Morgan81 means about a gamble, but a used Kutrimmer for two hundred bucks is still a win even with the fix. That recalibration is a known issue with older models, almost a given. For checking gear, I always ask the seller for a video of it cutting a stack of paper before I bid.
