@claire_fisher41 you totally nailed it with that plants/pets/relationships comparison. It's so true that we think we're being helpful but end up getting in the way.

Had to be so careful, double check every number' - yeah that's exactly what I remember doing too @ross.angela. It's stressful when you can't just look things up online. My old boss used to make me keep a paper ledger for our petty cash and I hated it but looking back it did make me pay attention to every little thing. Sometimes I think we get lazy with all the apps doing the work for us.

Yeah, totally worth it. Thumbs are too important for that kind of abuse.

I mean, maybe Dave has a point though. Binge watching kinda makes the whole thing blur together and you don't really appreciate the details or the pacing of each episode. Like reading one chapter at a time lets you sit with it and think about what happened.

A knotty alder panel isn't exactly cheap either, so that's a SOLID save. But wait, you were reading the bit diameter wrong on a mortise depth? That sounds like you might have been confusing bit diameter with the cutting edge length instead.
