Rant: Thermal paste application is way overthought by most techs

I used to spend 5 minutes spreading paste perfectly with a spatula for every build, but after watching a buddy just drop a pea-sized dot and smash the cooler on at a shop in Austin last summer, I realized I was wasting time on something that makes zero difference in temps, has anyone else found a trick that actually changed your build time?

People overthink everything that barely matters, like folding fitted sheets.

My mom spent a solid 20 minutes last week trying to fold one fitted sheet and just gave up and stuffed it in the linen closet. Honestly @the_vera, I think that's the real solution, just roll it up and call it a win. Life's too short to stress over something that's gonna be wrinkled five seconds later anyway.
