Funny truism. Wanna know the difference between a Millennial and a Gen X'er? Ask two people about something they can do that "people these days can't."

Millennial (entry #1): Tells you a story about personal growth. Frames it in a self-deprecating way. Is almost sorry they spent so much of your time on it.

Gen X'er (entry #2): They warn you that, when the apocalypse comes, they're going to be the only person alive with a given skill, and you will DIE without that skill.

Technically the Millennial was 54, but I was born in 1983 and my heart is more Gen Z than Millennial. Generations are one thing. Individuals are another. These two, they hit both markers perfectly. 😹

as a little side project i’ve been cleaning a box of rusty tools I picked up a while back. they’re not in terrible shape, but they’re more pleasing when they’re rust free.

i started with a vinegar bath and steel brush, but the brush alone works well enough.
