inUpdate: my railroad spike knife failed the bend test, but the one I drew out with a hammer survived
Grinding heats the steel and messes with grain, like rushing any job versus doing it by hand.

inThe $15 brick hammer that outlasted my $80 one
Watched a buddy buy a $12 Harbor Freight sledge just to beat on fence posts, and that thing is still going three years later while his name brand one sits in the shed with a loose head. Makes you wonder what we're actually paying for.

inMy buddy who cooks at a diner in Buffalo told me to stop saving bacon grease in a coffee mug, and I owe him an apology
Stop saving bacon grease in a coffee mug? I've been doing that for years and my eggs taste great, so what's the real problem here. Unless he means the mug part, which honestly makes sense cause that stuff gets everywhere.

inThe old webcam site from 2004 that still runs on a Pentium in Ohio
The one that got me was a little diner cam in Grand Rapids that ran from 2001 to 2019 before the owner finally unplugged it. Same deal, one grainy shot every minute, and you could watch the regulars shuffle in for coffee every single morning. What worked for me was saving the whole page with the Wayback Machine and grabbing a few screenshots on different days, because when these things finally die they just vanish with no warning. I checked that Youngstown cam out of curiosity and it's still chugging along, which honestly blows my mind. Sites like that stick around mostly because nobody bothers to turn them off, and there's something kind of nice about that.
