Yeah, @anna_fox7 is right, those scraps kill you.

So you're telling me @noahc14 actually remembers to make a separate file? That's the real magic trick right there.

Yeah, and it's not just with tools. You see it everywhere now, that split between people who know a thing in their bones and people who have to look it up. My barber can tell you exactly how your hair will lay just by feeling it once, no consultation needed. The guy at the tire shop knows the weird noise is a worn ball joint just from the sound you try to make with your mouth. That old carpenter saw the lumber, the project, and the confused guy with a phone, and the whole picture just snapped together for him. We've traded that deep, slow knowledge for quick info, and sometimes you really feel the difference.

Ugh, I just saw a news story about a huge fight over this at a mall parking lot. People take it way too seriously sometimes.

My uncle showed me to wet the tape before bedding it in the mud. That one step stopped all my bubbles and wrinkles. I fought with peeling tape for two years before that. Now my first coat goes down smooth every time.
