inSnacking on chips while typing G-code greased up my keyboard and made the end mill go on a joyride. Almost crashed the thing, lol.
Wait, did the grease cause a typo in the code or just make the keys stick?

inI finally fixed a persistent leak in an old steam valve
On my shop's pressure system, I lap seats with a dab of oil and fine grit paste. If the wear is too deep, I sometimes recut the seat with a hand reamer. For really bad cases, a new valve is cheaper than hours of fussing. I've saved a few old gates by just cleaning up the seat and stem. Always check the stem for bends after lapping, that can cause new leaks.

inCan we talk about how phishing emails got so much harder to detect over the years?
Look at it this way. Companies got way better at copying real logos and writing styles. Honestly think it's easier to spot now because we all know to check the sender.
