How did you fuck up recently?

For example, today i nearly set my house on fire after forgetting a pan on the stove.

Accidentally caused massive heat wave. Sorry folks, but I unplugged it so temps should start to go down now.

I made a move on a coworker I really like. Asked her if she wanted to fool around because I thought I would only be around for another week or two. But now that I've found a new place to live around here, it made me realize how shitty my train of thought was to put her in that sort of position.

I left a thermocouple connector unsecured and it fell onto an aftertreatment unit during testing.
When the aftertreatment unit was red hot the connector caught fire.
Was my first time ever using a fire extinguisher!

Left my bicycle unattended (but locked) for 3 days. Came back to a bicycle without tires. Rip 300âŹ
Damn that sucks. I have a chain lock but it only loops through the frame and front wheel. I use a shitty old cable with it to loop through the back tire and my pannier strap if Iâm leaving it on the bike. I do this because Iâve had a wheel jacked before also, it fucking sucks.

I ate too many blueberries yesterday and regret it today.

Forgot a lunch box for weeks at work, and then they threw it out while I was sick, so now I have to buy a new lunch box.
I am the one at my workplace who throws moldy lunchboxes away. Though in pur fridge it is mostly unopened yoghurts that somebody brings and forgets about. So disappointing how much food is wasted

Oh I got this. Real good fuck up. So, I run a bunch of services for me and family and friends, like Nextcloud, Immich, Mastodon, etc. All of their data is stored on a big RAID array built with mdadm. I built it before I knew about dm-integrity, so I wanted to rebuild it with dm-integrity running on all the disks. So I took out one disk (itâs a RAID6, so it can stand losing a disk just fine), and added dm-integrity on top of it. When I tried to add it back to the array, mdadm was like, âthatâs not a big enough deviceâ. Ok, yeah, makes sense, dm-integrity takes up some space. So I took all the services offline and started a resize2fs to reduce from 22TB to 18TB. Well that was taking forever, so I canceled and ran e2fsck, no worries. I started a new resize2fs reducing from 22TB to 21.8TB, which should be good enough. On pass 4, itâs looking like itâs gonna take 8 DAYS. I canât have my services offline for that long, so I cancel and run e2fsck. Thousands of errors. Oops.
At least itâs looking like all the errors are just in Mastodonâs cache files.
So now Iâm moving all the files to an external drive in order to migrate the array properly. In its degraded state though, the array is painfully slow. At least my services are online.
So basically I risked my files (though I have a backup from about three days before all this), and gave myself an extra maybe ten days(?) of work.
Moral of the story, donât ever use resize2fs unless you have time to wait.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]I've done something like this before, but thankfully it only impacted services that I host for my own use, didn't affect any family and friends.
Btw, I've found the easiest (but not the cheapest) way to fix this is to simply buy bigger disks. Swap out each disk for a bigger one one-by-one, then resize the whole volume to fill the new disks. Resizing upwards is much faster than shrinking a volume.
I've never had a volume shrink operation work without errors, and yes it takes days if you have more than 4TB.

Accidentally put a hot pan on the couch (don't ask) and it BURNED A HOLE in the couch

I stepped on a garden millipede by accident
millipedes produce hydrogen cyanide as a defense mechanism

I think that's why some of them smell like cherry coke - though I've never noticed a garden millipede smell that way.

I'm someone who can eat multiple pounds of blueberries in one sitting. Next time, try spraying them thoroughly with vinegar and letting them soak for at least 5min, 10 or even 20 is better. Then rinse thoroughly with water. There are some tummy upsetting molds and bacterias that are neutralized by the vinegar. This works for any berries or easily spoilt produce. It's majorly cut down on the "consequences" of my grape and berry binges.

I was clearing some brush with a machete, 6 stitches in my shin.
If you really don't like your leg hair, just double up your socks. That's no way to shave, man.

I bent over the sink to clean the drain and threw my back out three hours before I had to leave on a business trip.
Had to cancel the entire thing and spend the next day on my back.
I can commiserate⌠One time I fucked up my back by picking up a loaf of bread. I had just worked an extremely heavy shift at work. Slinging +200 pound pieces of gear overhead, lots of bending and crawling around, etc⌠I was gross after work. Climbed into my car, toweled off with some baby wipes, and headed to the grocery store on my way home. I just needed milk and bread.
So I make a beeline to the dairy section and grab the milk first, then swing by the bread aisle on my way to the registers. I bend over to grab the bread from the bottom shelf⌠And I feel a twinge in my lower back. Just a small little tug. I stand back up, and start heading to the registers. As I continue, the twinge gets worse and worse. I didnât even make it to the registers. I quickly found myself wishing I had grabbed a cart, because I needed a walker to stay upright. I had to abandon the milk and bread in the middle of the store, and slowly hobble back out to my car.
That was on a Friday evening, and naturally my doctor didnât have any appointments available until Monday. So I suffered all weekend. Monday finally rolls around, and the doc basically goes âoh lol yeah that just happens sometimes. Have you tried taking any ibuprofen?â Uhh excuse me. What the fuck do you mean that just happens? Can we make it not happen?
He says it is extremely common for industrial athletes to injure themselves after work. During work, theyâre careful enough to not injure themselves. Theyâre warmed up, they do team lifts, theyâre careful to use proper lifting form, etc⌠Then they get into their car, drive home, cool down during the drive, and then get injured by something stupid and small (like picking up a loaf of bread, or bending over the sink) because their cold joints basically go ânah I already worked enough today. Iâm just gonna rip instead of stretching.â
I was out of commission for a solid two weeks, all because of that loaf of bread. That was about a decade ago, and my back still gives me issues occasionally.

That reminds me of a few years ago when I noticed a neighbor down the street running a weed eater while wearing a small bikini. She had on heavy gardening gloves and safety goggles, but to protect the rest of her whole body just the bikini. And it was a really big-ass weed eater too, the kind with the extra side handle. Might have even been gas powered.
Yeah, well.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Yeah, I do a vinegar bath when brining berries home from the grocery store. Just fill a mixing bowl with water, then add like two cups of white distilled vinegar. Let the berries soak while you put away the rest of the groceries.
I started doing it after I had some strawberries get visibly moldy only one day after I bought them. I was pissed. Since I started soaking them in diluted vinegar, they donât get moldy anymore. They literally dry out and shrivel before they go bad. I just dunk the entire container into the mixing bowl, and let the entire thing float while I put my groceries away. Then give them a quick rinse with the sink sprayer before they go in the fridge.
When I notice them starting to dry out, I just move them to the freezer instead; They still taste fine, so after they start to dry, I use them in smoothies instead.

You mind leaving it plugged in mid January and through Feb? Maybe cycle it a bit so we still get snow, but not below freezing temps.
