inMy favorite weird site went offline last Tuesday and I can't decide if I should try to save it
I did this exact thing with a site called falconryphotos.net back in 2019. Grabbed about 60 pages off the Wayback Machine, threw them on Neocities, and it took me maybe two hours total. My rule now is pretty simple. If the whole thing fits on one free host and you can pull it in an afternoon, just do it. You're not really "choosing" one project over a thousand others, you're just saving the one you happened to care about, and that's fine. The Wayback Machine copy already exists anyway, so all you're doing is making it easier to find.

inHot take: the Clarendon farmers market is way better on Sunday than Saturday
Gotta love how @pat360 turned a farmers market post into a math problem about apples and oranges, but fair point about the time gap. My Sunday runs are usually around 10, and the lot is maybe a third full, so I'm not fighting anyone for a spot or a parking space. Losing a couple vendors does sting, no lie, but the ones who do show up seem way less stressed and actually hand you your change with a smile. Ten on Sunday beats nine on Saturday any day of the week, even if I'm down one kale guy.

Lost $140 on a "universal" lid switch kit that fit zero of my jobs
A buddy of mine ran into the same thing with those so-called universal kits last year. He grabbed a handful for a couple of Whirlpool and Roper jobs and every one of them sat wrong in the housing, so the lid never clicked right. He ended up pulling factory switches off dead machines he keeps out back instead. Now he just saves every good switch from scrapped units and labels them by brand. Says it beats rolling the dice on a kit that claims to fit everything.
