Five degrees to starboard!

I was sick recently, and my wife made some chicken noodle soup. I don't know what she did, but she massively misjudged the amount of salt and it wound up being entirely too salty. Gamely, I persevered. Every time either of us tried eating it, it gave us diarrhea.

I once added some lemon juice into tea with milk in it - thinking "This will be amazing because it will be both like a regular tea and and iced tea!" - well it was not amazing. Now I just drink my tea with either milk or lemon in it depending on my mood - never the both. But that was many years ago that I learnedd that lesson.

I did that at a restaurant years and years ago and it curdled. It was an instructive experience.

Not a cooking gently caress-up, but an equipment gently caress-up: My 20+ year old espresso machine has long been overdue for a good cleaning, gasket change, etc. The shower screen is attached to the grouphead by a screw in the center. I initially tried using manual screwdrivers to undo it, to no avail. Then I went out and got an electric one, which I was sure would do the trick. Still no luck. Also the slot in the screw was getting a little deformed by this point and the screwdriver head would occasionally slip and catch the screen. Then I had the brilliant Idea of trying an impact driver. Surely that would be able to break it loose.

Now I have an old-rear end espresso machine with a mangled shower screen attached to the grouphead by a stripped-out flathead screw. Replacement parts are probably only available from Australia, the only country I can find where my particular model is still commonly sold. And I'm really not looking forward to trying to drill out the drat screw. I don't want to risk further damage to the machine as I can't afford to replace the whole thing. :sigh:

Post about it in the AI stupid questions thread. Those nerds love a puzzle like this.
