Yeah, that raw data realization hits different for sure.

That "mental timer" idea @joelwells mentioned is so real. I read that people often decide in the first few minutes if a date will work. Maybe he hit his limit and just had to go.

That part about constant contact making it crispy every time is so true. I've tried all the fancy methods and they never work as well as just leaving it alone in the pan. The waiting is the hardest part but you're right, it's just patience, not a whole project. I burned so many pieces trying to flip them early before I learned to just walk away. Your way is the only one that gives me that crackling skin without fail.

How did we all get tricked into thinking pockets ruin clothes? Your story is the perfect proof. I swear, the second I find a dress with real pockets, I buy it, no question. It's like we've all been quietly desperate for this one simple thing.

Got a link to that level?
