inJust realized most people are guessing the torque on aluminum lugs
Damn, @valallen, 200 inch pounds? That's insane. I knew cranked down lugs were bad but I didn't realize they could get that torqued without someone feeling like something was wrong. Makes you wonder how many panels out there are just waiting to pop.

inThat guy at the REI return counter changed how I think about tent warranties
Honestly I feel called out because I was that guy at the counter once. Tbh I mixed up REI's return policy with a North Face warranty on a tent and ended up telling some poor customer they could bring back their ripped jacket after three years. Ngl that was an awkward conversation with my manager. But yeah you're right the store return stuff and the manufacturer's guarantee are totally different things. My tent collapsed on me during a storm last year and I spent a whole day figuring out which one covered it.

inTried butter vs shortening in my pie crust last weekend and the butter blew it out of the water
Right? Butter is just the MVP of baking, shortening is basically a flavorless brick in disguise. At least now you know who to invite to your next pie party.
