Just remember a sharp knife is a safe knife.

Saw a video once where a guy said most product failures happen at the simplest joint or bearing surface, not the fancy parts. Your story about the axle lip is a perfect example of that. It's easy to miss the basic stuff when you're deep in a complex assembly at work. Fixing something simple at home can really reset your brain for the day job.

I used to have the same reaction. Once you use a good high refresh rate screen, it's hard to go back. The difference is just that big.

Honestly thought the same for years. Then my phone got ruined by a tiny splash that seemed fine at the time. Learned the hard way it's just not worth the risk.

Man, I see where you're coming from, but that's a tough spot to be in. You ever think about the guy who has to fly that plane later, you know? I mean, what's the point of having a license if you just sign off on stuff you didn't check? That pressure is real, but so is the reason we have these rules. It only takes one bad push to wreck a whole career, or worse.
