Yeah, I saw a whole thread about people doing that. Some guy wrote a long post about how his system was basically held together with duct tape and hope for months. Turns out he just got used to the weird noises and ignored the warning signs. Honestly it's a miracle more stuff doesn't just catch fire.

The real issue is automated moderation. A computer scanned your words for keywords, not the actual debate. It missed the whole point of the conversation. Nuance gets lost when algorithms enforce rules. Your experience shows how these systems can't understand context. That's the scary part for public discussion online.

Totally, I used to wait but that changed my mind.

Oh man, that scale was having a full on existential crisis over a piece of fruit. Maybe it thought the banana was judging its life choices. Next time just tell it the weight you want and see if it gives in, worked with my old bathroom scale.

Honestly think those dryer vent fire stats get way overblown every time this topic comes up. Most people clean their lint traps and that's good enough, the whole vent cleaning thing feels like a scare tactic to sell extra services. Focusing on chimneys makes way more sense because a chimney fire can burn your whole house down in minutes, not just smolder in a laundry room. I'd rather you guys stick to what you know best instead of trying to be a one stop shop for every possible home hazard.
