Fincher said his schedule is packed for years.

Just soak some beans, it's not that deep.

It's funny how we get used to a certain feel of things, right? Not just coffee. Like when you switch from a heavy old textbook to a light e-reader. You miss the weight in your hands even if the words are the same. Or trading a real car engine for an electric motor. It's faster and quieter, but you still miss that rumble. We cling to the texture of stuff long after the main job is done.

Tell me about it, my old boss used to say my "calibrated eyeball" was off by a country mile. Now I picture that wheel flying off every time I'm tempted to skip the torque wrench. It's funny how one comment from a grumpy old timer can turn you into a total rule follower. Guess they were right about an ounce of prevention.

My buddy's brand new PC had the same total boot lockout from a cheap USB desk lamp. Ross.kevin is right that it feels like a fluke, but it's crazy how a tiny bit of bad power can just brick the whole post process until you find the right cable to pull.
