Oh man, you are so right. I had a washer that was walking across the floor and making a horrible noise. Spent an hour checking every bolt I could find. Turns out one of the front leveling legs was barely touching the ground. Tightened it down to actually make contact and the whole thing went quiet. It's always the simple stuff you miss first.

My apartment complex bought these "multi surface" cleaners for every unit last year. Now the bathroom tile grout is stained and the wood floors look hazy. They're paying a deep cleaning service to fix it next month.

Wasn't that brewery scene the worst? I went to one like that last month and just stood there holding a warm beer. It felt like a bad high school dance. The structured coworking event sounds way more useful. I've had better luck with small meetups for a specific hobby, like a casual board game night at a coffee shop. You end up talking to people without the pressure of a business card swap. Maybe we just need to find things that are about doing an activity together first.
