My Weird Prompts ·

Ever walked into a hardware store and wondered what those slanted plastic bins are actually called? This episode untangles the messy terminology of workshop storage — from open-front bins and picking bins to drawer cabinets and portable organizers. We break down the differences between Akro-Mils LinBins, Stanley Vidmar drawer cabinets, and the Sortimo L-Boxx ecosystem, explore why there's no universal standard like Euro boxes, and give practical advice on choosing the right system for your home

Can Remote Occupational Therapy Help Adult ADHD?

My Weird Prompts ·

2026/07/16

When life throws a cascade of stressors — a toddler, two wars, a forced move, and financial strain — talk therapy isn't always the right tool. Occupational therapy, the "therapy of doing," targets the micro-decisions and sensory bottlenecks that make daily life unmanageable. But finding a specialized practitioner who understands adult ADHD and sensory processing, and affording them out of pocket, is a real barrier. In this episode, we break down the evidence for remote OT: what translates through a

Building an AI Tutor That Teaches You to Code Without...

My Weird Prompts ·

2026/07/16

What if an AI could teach you programming the way a professor does — assign a project, let you struggle through it independently, then provide detailed, honest feedback? This episode unpacks the full architecture for such a system: intake diagnostics that reveal actual ability (not self-reported skill), competency graphs that track concept mastery over time, sandboxed execution environments for safe code review, and multi-stage review pipelines that distinguish between one-off bugs and genuine

This episode unpacks the surprisingly intricate chain of events that makes that work for small text payloads. We trace the journey from a failed fetch through IndexedDB storage, service worker background sync, and Stripe-style idempotency keys on the backend. Along the way, we expose the traps: why navigator.onLine lies, the browser support gap for Background Sync, and the five

The Hidden Skill Most AI Models Still Fail At

My Weird Prompts ·

2026/07/16

You ask a model to write an email, then pause and say, "Actually, is this topic too obscure?" A good model answers the question. A bad one splices it right into the draft. This episode unpacks this surprisingly common failure mode — what cognitive abilities it requires, why it's not being measured, and how to build a rigorous benchmark for it. We explore pragmatic reasoning, discourse parsing, theory of mind, and conversation state management, plus the four levels of failure from direct

The Belt as Brain: Externalizing Memory with EDC

My Weird Prompts ·

2026/07/16

Daniel's question about using a modular loadout belt for everyday life turns out to be about much more than gear — it's about cognitive architecture. This episode explores how to build an EDC belt system that externalizes working memory for ADHD without triggering the social semiotics of tactical equipment. We cover material choices that read as "accessory" instead of "gear," the universal "year one purge" that cuts 40-60% of pouches, weight distribution principles from military load carriage

21 Workshop Chemicals: What Actually Works

Your chemical shelf is probably a museum of half-empty cans doing the same three jobs. This episode breaks down twenty-one maintenance chemicals into three families — lubricants, cleaners, and corrosion control — and flags every redundancy so you can build a shelf that covers the real jobs without wasting money. From why WD-40 isn't a lubricant to which cleaner will etch your aluminum if you forget to wipe it off, we cover the safety stakes, shelf lives, and the generics that work just as well as

Why Your Glue Keeps Failing — Adhesives Decoded

My Weird Prompts ·

2026/07/16

Most people have one bottle of wood glue and one tube of superglue, assuming they're interchangeable. That's why chair legs fall off and plastic bonds don't hold. In this deep-inventory breakdown, we cover the full spectrum of adhesives for household DIY, repairs, and small fabrication — from PVA and cyanoacrylate to epoxy, contact cement, solvent welds, and UV-curing adhesives. Learn which glue matches which substrate, why five-minute epoxy isn't fully cured in five minutes, and the one adhesive

Tier 3 Hardware: When to Stock vs. Buy on Demand

We break down rivet nuts, threaded inserts, Helicoils, T-nuts, cam-lock fittings, Confirmat screws, and more, covering tool requirements, compatibility issues, safety limits, and whether an assortment kit or buy-on-demand approach makes sense for each category. Plus: a prioritized purchase list and
