Your vanished pain mirrors my experience after finally upgrading my office chair last year.

Sounds like that sensor would go off if a fly sneezed three rooms over. Our break room one freaks out if you open the microwave door too fast. At this point, the real security threat is the alarm giving everyone a heart attack.

My friend nearly stripped a bolt on his old water heater trying your method, @wesley139. He used a generic spray and a worn socket that just rounded the edges. Had to call a pro who showed him the difference a quality six-point wrench and letting the oil sit for ten minutes makes. Now he swears by letting the stuff creep in before even touching it.

Seeing that workshop packed with everyday folks gives me HOPE. For years it felt like only tech nerds cared about this stuff. Now with all the data breaches, people are FINALLY waking up. I've had similar chats with my neighbors about using better passwords. It's a slow shift, but it's happening. We all need to protect ourselves out here.
