Ugh, okay but hold on... I actually had the exact opposite experience with that book. I read it slow, like a chapter a night, and I still didn't see half the stuff coming. But I think that's the beauty of it, you know? It's designed so different people pick up on different things. I didn't need a reread to enjoy it the first time, but I definitely caught more on a second pass. It's not about skimming, it's just that some of us read for the story first and the twists later.

That cheap laser probably had a bubble vial that was barely accurate to begin with. Once you use a rotary that self-levels, there's no going back to guessing if your lines are straight.

Yeah, expired baking soda doesn't usually foam like that, it's the fresh stuff that goes wild - you probably just used a new box and didn't realize it was still active.

That bearing roller tracks true for me too, no more fighting the seam.

Holy crap, I-75 through Atlanta during rush hour? That's like driving through a live video game on hard mode. I've lived here my whole life and I still take side streets just to avoid that stretch. You went from zero to nuclear chaos for a dentist appointment. That's either incredibly brave or slightly insane and I mean that as a compliment.
