You learn something new every day, whether or not you realize it right away. There are no exceptions to this rule.

Today I learned the difference between bowler hats, pork pie hats and fedoras. Before today, they were all just fedoras to me. It never occurred to me that all three of these different hat styles had different names.

I also learned that Roseanne is Jewish, and that gummy shot glasses exist.

It doesn't have to be anything life-changing or significant or anything, just something that you learned. So AG, I ask you now, what did you learn today?

Straight Outta Compton

I'm actually sitting in the theater right now and about to watch it. Heeellll yeeeaahhh!

Today I learned that my 1 1/2 year old computer is completely broken. The CPU has tapped out for good according to the Geek Squad. ): I'll be browsing AG on mobile from now on. I have lost hundreds of hours of gaming progress, but I was smart enough to frequently back up all of my files.

There are faster ways to put snow blowers together. The night before it took me forever, but tonight I breezed right through them.

Today I learned that if I overload my trash cans' max weight by 200 or so pounds, the trash truck that collects them will not be able to handle the weight of the cans and will drop them inside its cavernous belly, drive away with my cans, and leave me with nowhere to dispose of all of my garbage.

Why didn't I purchase a beard comb sooner? It arrived yesterday and has made so much of a difference already; it glides through my beard effortlessly, doesn't cause frizz, and allows me to style it perfectly!

@SSTG Personally I would have referred to the flowchart first before resorting to percussive maintenance.
