inRant: Picked between two brands of tack strip and I'm second guessing myself
A buddy of mine switched to the heavy duty strip on a rental he was fixing up and swore the carpet felt tighter underfoot. Six months later he ripped it all out anyway after the tenant's dog trashed the place, so he never got a real answer on whether it held up better. My take is the wider strip helps most on stairs and doorways where traffic is heavy, but for a plain hallway the cheap stuff usually does fine.

inWhy does everyone plan the Enchantments as an overnight when the day trip is way better
Oh sure, let me just casually jog 18 miles with 5k elevation

inA 22 year installer in Tulsa said to quit pre-bending my service loops, and 3 callbacks this month prove he was right
Did he say why the pre-bend stresses it more than a natural loop?

inTried reading 'Watchmen' issue by issue, then all at once, and I was totally wrong about which way hits harder
Your weekend read sounds like it changed how you see the whole story, and that makes sense to me now. I used to swear by single issues, since the month between each one let the mystery of Rorschach's journal and the Comedian's smiley face pin sit with me. Then I finally read all 12 back to back and caught how that smiley face shows up on the floor, on Mars, even in the blood. The bits of the past that jump around stop feeling random when they are only hours apart instead of weeks. So yeah, monthly reading is not ruined for me, but I get why the full run hits different.
