After wasting filament once, I do a quick scale check on scrap. It only takes a minute but catches mistakes early. That habit has saved me from several bad prints.

Been there, dude. Moisture meters save lives.

Remember when the biggest tech annoyance was someone's dad blocking the view with a giant camcorder? Now it's a swarm of drones sounding like angry bees. I brought my old flip phone to a park last week trying to unplug, then spent twenty minutes watching some guy land his drone on a picnic table. I'm part of the problem just by being there, honestly.
