I tried binder clips on a satin blend last week and they left permanent dents along the selvedge. For me, they're way too harsh on anything that isn't super heavy like denim or canvas. I still keep a box of quilting clips around for slippery layers because they spread the pressure out. Maybe it's just me but I've had way more fabric ruined by metal clips than by any pin.

Used to find it charming until a guy handed me a latte and then spent ten minutes questioning my pipe thread choices. Now I see free coffee as just the opening bid on unsolicited advice.

Question if glare is really that big a deal. Just move the lamp or your tools around. Problem solved without keeping old stuff.

My buddy Mark was obsessed with coupon Sundays. He'd brew his fancy coffee and attack those flyers like a mission. @the_phoenix, your ritual thing clicks because he swore the planning was half the fun. He'd brag about saving three dollars on cereal, but you could tell he loved the process. Apps made it faster, but he said it felt like cheating, no satisfaction. Now he just grumbles while scrolling on his phone.

My mom gets so confused by backup codes, she would be totally lost. I agree that most people just don't want another app to deal with.
