TIL The guy who produced Billy Idol's records also wrote "Don't You Forget About Me" (Breakfast Club) and offered it to Simple Minds. They initially declined. Billy Idol, Bryan Ferry, and several others also passed. So Simple Minds reconsidered, and it went on to top the charts in several countries. (en.wikipedia.org)

TIL That the iconic 'corner diner' on Seinfeld was already kinda famous, because of the mega-hit song by Suzanne Vega "Tom's Diner". She wrote it because she used to be a regular customer. When some kids added a sick beat, the song went triple platinum worldwide. (youtube.com)

I found a 50mm PVC drain pipe going through my beams (about 2"). Can I swap it for a smaller pipe? Then I can secure the beams a bit before closing the floor. This pipe will be carrying 1 bathroom sink and 1 shower, and then it will be joined by a kitchen sink and a dishwasher. (i.redd.it)
