Old barista at a coffee shop in Portland showed me something about wobbly tables
I was at this tiny shop off Hawthorne back in 2019 complaining that my desk at home wobbled. He stopped what he was doing and told me to fold up a piece of cardboard and slide it under the short leg instead of using a shim. Did it that night and it held perfect for like 6 months. Anyone else got a weird hack like that from a stranger?

Cardboard held six months? That's insane. Woulda bet it'd flatten in a week.
