A client in Phoenix tried to get me to design a whole new logo for free after the project was done

They said 'just a few tweaks' but it was basically a full redesign. Now I put a hard limit of 3 revisions in the contract and charge by the hour after that. Anyone else had to get super strict about their revision policy?

I used to think fancy pens were a waste of money for bullet journaling

For the first year, I used a basic ballpoint pen I got from a bank. I figured a notebook was a notebook, and the tool didn't matter. Then, my sister gave me a set of those Pilot Fineliners for my birthday. I tried one just to be nice, and it was a total game changer. The ink didn't bleed through my Leuchtturm pages at all, and my handwriting instantly looked cleaner because the line was so sharp. It sounds silly, but that smooth feel made me actually want to sit down and plan my week. Now I get why people talk about their pens so much. Has a simple switch in your pen ever made that big a difference for you?

Had a 200 amp panel go hot on me in an old apartment building downtown last month. The main lugs were loose from years of vibration and the whole thing started humming like a transformer. Shut it down, called the utility, and spent four hours replacing every connection. Anyone else run into something like that in a multi-unit?

My old boss in Portland said to always notch a heavy limb on the bottom first, and I finally saw why when a 14-inch oak branch barber-chaired on me last Tuesday.

He argued it controls the split better than a top cut, and after that close call where the trunk ripped up about 3 feet, I'm never ignoring that advice again, so what's your number one rule for a tricky backcut?

Why does nobody talk about the cheap screen protectors from the mall kiosk?

I was at the mall last week and the guy at the phone case kiosk told me his $8 screen protector uses the same glass as the $40 brand name ones. He let me feel the edge and it was just as smooth. I bought one for my old phone to test it and after a month, it hasn't scratched at all. Has anyone else tried those generic ones and had them actually hold up?
