You gotta watch it raw first. Start with something short like The Room, then go for Manos when you're ready for a real challenge. Splits your movie night into two parts, first one for laughing at the badness, second one for the good jokes.

Yeah, I've been in that exact spot before. Dice landing on an edge or a corner is just a dead roll, no way to call it fair for either side. Best move is to just scoop it up and reroll before anyone has to argue about what it means.

The triple monitor arm on butcher block does sound like a good call. But before you go drilling for grommets, are you sure you want to put holes in that solid maple? Maybe think about using a clamp-on cable tray underneath instead.

Yeah the dryer trick is hit or miss honestly. I saw you mention the knot thing and that's smart, but honestly the bigger issue nobody talks about is the fleece quality itself. Like not all fleece is made the same. The cheap stuff from craft stores is basically just polyester fibers barely held together. I started cutting old fleece blankets that were getting pilly instead of buying new fabric and those toys held up way better. Also if you wash them before giving to your dog it kind of pre-shrinks everything and makes the braid tighter from the start. Just a thought lol.

Ain't it weird how we avoid good things till the hype dies down?
