inUpdate on the rain barrel project...
Wow, that's a crazy amount of honey! My friend tried beekeeping last year and totally freaked out when she learned this. She said watching the bees work after that felt different, like every bit of wax in the hive was this huge investment. It made her way more careful when she harvested, because she didn't want to take what cost them so much. Really puts the whole thing in perspective.

inWalked past a new AI art gallery in Brooklyn and the paintings were all moving
Honestly that sounds kind of gimmicky and overdone. Tbh a painting that blinks just feels like a cheap trick to get a reaction. The whole point of good art is it makes you feel something without needing a digital screen to move. Ngl I'd rather look at a regular painting that has real texture and mistakes you can see up close. All that tech just distracts from whether the actual art is any good.

inGot called out for my old way of cutting thick glass
Ever try to cut glass while basically leaning your whole body weight into it like you're trying to start a stubborn lawnmower? That was me for years. Felt like I had to fight the stuff. Turns out I was just fighting myself and making a ton of extra work.

inMy friend told me to always use a scale for my sourdough starter, and I finally listened after a year of flat loaves.
Scales are a total game changer.
