People keep calling malls 'dead' when they're just quiet

Honestly, I see this all the time in photos here. Someone posts a shot of a mall with like 5 stores open and 20 people inside and calls it a dead mall. Tbh, that's just a quiet weekday. A real dead mall is like the old Sunrise Center in Dover, where the last anchor left 3 years ago and the food court is just empty chairs. I went last month and counted exactly two open businesses, a nail salon and a phone repair kiosk. The difference matters because calling everything 'dead' makes the truly fascinating abandoned ones less special. How do you all decide when a mall has actually crossed that line?

My neighbor mentioned his Coleman stove has the same fuel line as his old lantern

He said it saved him a bunch of hassle on a trip to the Olympic Peninsula last month. Has anyone else found gear parts that unexpectedly work across different pieces of equipment?

Seeing a lot of guys skip the oil cooler flush on 6.0 Powerstrokes

I keep pulling engines where the EGR cooler is already shot again after a replacement... The root cause is almost always a clogged oil cooler they didn't clean. The back pressure cooks the new cooler in weeks. Watched a shop in Dallas do three in a row before they figured it out. How do you guys make sure the whole system is clear before buttoning it up?

Spent $40 on a manual coffee grinder and it changed my morning routine

I bought a hand crank grinder after my electric one broke, thinking it would be a pain. It takes a minute longer, but the coffee tastes way better and the quiet start is actually nice. Anyone have other simple kitchen swaps that worked out?

My brother swears by having our dad consult on every pour, but I find it just leads to old arguments about mix ratios.
