inHad a wild idea to use a garden sprayer for my pointing mortar yesterday...
Honestly that's how a lot of the best fixes happen, just making do with what's around. It reminds me of seeing people use random stuff to solve problems all the time. The right tool is sometimes just the one that gets the job done.

inUpdate: I tracked the shift in how the 'flat earth' theory is talked about online
Olivias88 mentioning the moving goalposts thing is spot on. I saw a similar shift with a friend who got into old school conspiracy stuff about the pyramids. It started with who built them, then became all about lost technology and energy fields. The core story just gets replaced when the old one gets picked apart too much.

inAppreciation post: I thought the 'cash envelope' thing was just for extreme cases, but using it for my $200 weekly grocery budget completely stopped my overspending.
Yeah that cash thing really works, @stone.barbara. I used to think it was old-school but it actually makes you think twice before spending.

inMy old phone's battery was dying after 2 hours, so I switched to a Pixel 8a.
Yeah, that three times a day charging loop is the worst. Been there. Honestly, the biggest fix for me was just getting a phone that wasn't three years old. Newer batteries handle background tasks way better. My old phone would drain just sitting in my pocket. Glad the 8a worked out, that's a solid choice. Lasts all day now without even thinking about it.

Finally fixed the money pit, huh?
