inWire fishing trick that cut my install time in half
The magnet bit got me laughing because my first thought was here comes another guy trying to sound smart. Then I remembered I spent two hours last month cursing at a wall while my tape kept popping out of the top plate hole. So yeah, no room to talk. Magnets on fish tape work but only if the wall is empty enough for the magnet to drag. Packed insulation and you're just fighting two forces instead of one. My go to is a chain bead on the end, it drops and rolls past most snags, then I hook it from the box with a magnet or a bent coat hanger. Worth trying when the neodymium trick stalls out.

inBook club pick bombed because we voted for the trendiest title
Is the problem really the voting, though? Nine out of fourteen bailing on a book sounds less like a bad pick and more like a group that mostly wants to hang out and drink wine.

inMy old ICQ number still gives me a little thrill when I type it
Nine digits from 1997 living rent free in your head while your debit card number needs a peek every time. That's just how memory works though. You repeated that ICQ number every single day for years, typed it into chat windows constantly, it got burned in deep. Bank cards changed, you barely punch them in by hand anymore. Not really a mystery or some deep sign about the old days.
