inBurnt my hand on a steam wand at a coffee shop in Austin and now I just use a cheap thermometer clip instead
That phrase "guessing the temp by feel" really hit home for me. I used to work at a diner in Ohio where the steam wand was basically a hazard, and I got so used to just sticking my hand under the pitcher to test the heat that I actually burned my wrist twice in one week. So I grabbed one of those little thermometer clips too, and honestly it saved my workflow because I could multitask while the milk heated up. Did you ever try timing it by counting seconds before you got the clip?

Didn't that guy @mason_jackson have a buddy who passed out mid-splice and woke up in his own lunch pail?

inMy suet feeder was moldy for months and I never noticed
Man I pulled apart a wall in a fixer-upper last summer and found green mold growing behind the baseboards. Threw on a mask and goggles and sprayed it down with concrobium before it spread to the studs. Took me three days to dry everything out with a dehumidifier running nonstop. That stuff ain't flavor, it'll mess up your lungs if you breathe it in long enough. Trust me, better safe than sorry with that kind of growth.

inGot roasted by a comic shop guy for my bagging method, totally changed it up
Yeah, the 'folding the flaps wrong' thing got me too. I used to just tuck them inside because I figured it looked cleaner and kept dust out. But a shop guy at a convention I went to last year basically said the same thing your guy did. He showed me how pressure builds up and folds the book when you tuck the flap in, especially if the bag is tight. I switched over to the flat fold method and honestly it does make a difference, especially with books that have a little bend to them already. Felt dumb for not thinking about it sooner, but now I'm pretty sold on his way.
