We've been wanting a specific mattress from a specific store; it's often OOS. I poked around the browser Network tab & figured out the URL to hit (& a header value it requires) to automate checking every 5 min. My little Node app stopped working after two weeks. While debugging, I went back to the site manually. Figured the header value timed-out after 15 days or something... I was refreshing and digging in DevTools for minutes, it was definitely not working... all the while I'm failing to notice that the dang thing is in stock. I should be clicking the Buy button, not debugging my little app!

Some days, Stack Exchange just has exactly what one needs. (If one needs to start adding .gpg repo keys the new safer way, and doesn't really know what they're doing...)
whoa wait where's the water
Earlier in the summer I restocked our emergency supplies, including bulk drinking water. I didn't want to put a bunch of varied-but-always-thin plastic containers (little bottles, big bottles, jerrycan-sized plastic jugs) in the broiling-hot garage, so I piled everything up in the spare BR closet. Stupidly stacked two (2) 2.5-gallon Publix spring-waters on top of each other.
Of course a pinhole opened up in the bottom one, at a bottom-facing seam where the container was glued together (or however they're constructed -- looks melt-y/glue-y). Over some period of time all 2.5 gallons trickled into the carpet. It must've been slow or I'd have seen/felt a wet spot, which I never did; this closet is about 5 feet from the desk at which I sit every day.
When I finally noticed, there was just the slightest hint of dampness in the back corner of the closet, 5 or 6 inches from where they'd been stacked. No smell, no mold, no mildew, no bubbles in the baseboard, nothing seems to be crawling up the drywall.
Dodged a wet bullet, I guess. As soon as the garage gets down under 120°F in the afternoons, I'm moving all this stuff out there. (where something else dumb will happen, probably. 😆)
