Tried a torque wrench vs impact driver for stubborn refrigerator compressor bolts...

Tyler's right about the rattling thing, I read something similar in a mechanic's blog where they said impact drivers just vibrate the bolt head into a different shape without actually turning it. For compressor bolts that have been sitting in a humid fridge for years, the rust basically locks the threads tight. A manual torque wrench or breaker bar lets you put steady pressure on it without that jarring motion that strips things. I've noticed it's more about applying constant force than sudden bursts, which seem to just bounce off the bolt. Hand tools all the way for those stubborn ones.

My barber told me to ditch my phone and just read magazines

lol I mean it's just a magazine, not like he handed you ancient scrolls. People act like looking at your phone for 10 minutes is a crisis.

Hit 200 rolls of film through my old Pentax this month

200 rolls is a lot of cash on film and development for stuff you're not even sure is any good. I'd rather pick my shots and waste less money.

That barber influencer claiming you need 14 different clippers to do a proper fade is straight up wrong

Man you're speaking my language. It's rough seeing kids get suckered into dropping all that cash when they haven't even learned to blend past a #2 guard yet.

Tried making a zine with just a black pen and a copy machine, ended up with a blurry mess

Heard a podcast that said some companies actually design office machines to start failing after a certain number of copies. Something about service contracts being more profitable than selling the machine itself. Makes you wonder if that washed out look was part of the plan.
