Once again it is Father’s Day, which means it’s time to share the most Dad* thing you did in the last year. As is custom, I will go first:
Watching YouTube videos for small repair jobs around the house has turned into watching YouTube videos for large repair jobs I cannot and should not attempt.

This is one of the world’s largest and most sophisticated physics experiments, it’s won the noble prize, and it literally does not work without both sites. Like it can’t function.
