inA customer's fridge in Tempe had a weird hum that turned out to be a loose compressor mounting bolt.
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.

inWatched a guy try to use a 3/4 inch end mill for a finishing pass in Denver last month
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.

inI tried a 'networking' event at a brewery versus a structured coworking demo day
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.

inMy big change on finding cheap places to stay in Europe
Used to believe booking sites were the only way to go. Got stuck in a Barcelona place that looked nothing like the photos, just a mattress on a floor. After a friend told me about local rental groups, I found a whole apartment for less than that dump. Completely changed how I look for a place now.
