Man I was just reading about how some companies literally design stuff to break sooner now. Planned obsolescence they call it. Makes your old boots lasting this long seem like a weird flex.

Remember reading about artists using strange breakfast habits to fuel their work. Something about how a jolt to your senses can clear mental blocks. Your tangy cereal could be your own version of that.

Wait, so space is basically a black and white movie then? Lol. Those color pics do look like they got dunked in neon paint sometimes. Like, remember that one nebula that looks like a rainbow puked on it? Black and white just cuts through the noise and shows the cracks and dust. It's like the universe's behind-the-scenes footage, no special effects. Kinda makes you wonder if aliens edit their photos too much.

Yeah, "just turn it over" is way too simple. It depends on the flange. If it's got a raised face or a flat gasket surface, flipping it makes the seal wrong. Bolt holes might line up, but then you're mating the wrong surfaces. You can really mess up a connection doing that.

My memory's so bad I'd forget the main character's name halfway through a season without notes. Totally get how it kills the vibe though, feels like being back in school. But for me, the alternative is just staring at the screen later going "wait, who is that again?" It's a whole thing.
