inAm I the only one who used to just twist wire nuts on by hand?
Man, that's a solid tip. I used to just hand-tighten them too and wondered why some would work loose later. Using a screwdriver like that makes so much sense, doesn't it?

inRemember when the internet just stopped for a day in 2011?
Man, does that bring back a weird memory. My buddy was totally stuck trying to fix his car because all the forum guides he used for his old Honda had their wiring diagrams hosted on some random image hosting site that just blinked out one weekend. He had this garage full of parts and a laptop that kept showing that little broken picture icon. It really showed how much of that old web was built on these free, shaky foundations that everyone just trusted to always be there.

inBeen setting my climbing line with a running bowline for a decade, and a new guy asked me why.
Honestly, how often does a climbing line actually see a shock load like that? Most of the time you're just setting it and working off it, not taking huge falls. Seems like one of those textbook things that gets overblown compared to real world use.
