Wow, it's a safety issue as much as a focus one.

Wait, a HOUSE project used a crane lift?

That flag thing trips up so many people, tbh. I bookmarked the NASA history site after my own deep dive, saves future embarrassment.

I know exactly what you mean about being called a ghoul. My own shelf of antique amputation saws probably doesn't help my case at family events either. You can explain the history all you want, but sometimes you just have to accept you're the creepy one in the room. It's a lonely club, but at least our tools are interesting.

Man, I was totally that person too! I would spend SUNDAY afternoons cutting coupons, trying to save like ten dollars on groceries. But after reading what @loganthompson said about time having value, it clicked. All that effort for a few bucks felt so silly. Now I just grab what I need and enjoy my weekend. It's LIBERATING to not sweat the small stuff.
