Picking the template first is like buying a frame before you paint the picture, sure, but honestly the bigger crime here is losing your keys and thinking a cat meme was gonna save the joke. Crying cat for lost keys was right there, man. That is basic meme math. Confused cat is for when you walk into a room and forget why, not for a missing keys bit. Next time write the caption first like you said, or just accept that your group chat has seen better flops.

Funny thing, my neighbor bought a fancy coffee grinder last year and now he's back to the cheap one because the settings were too much hassle. Most of this gear just adds steps instead of saving time.

Tilt the disc and watch how the light bounces off the shiny side. If the scratches run in the same direction as the data tracks (like little circles), the player skips right over them and they usually play fine. Scratches going across the tracks are the ones that kill you. Also flip it over and check the label side, a crack or pinhole there means the reflective layer is shot no matter how clean the bottom looks lol.
