Overheard a guy at the parts counter say he fixed a weird boot loop by swapping the RAM sticks into different slots.

Had the same thing with some cheap hollow core closet doors last year. Pre drilled, used the right nails, still split like crazy. Ended up gluing those too and honestly they're holding up better than the ones my buddy screwed in. The glue just fills all the little gaps and sticks way better than hardware ever could in crumbly old wood.

Swapped to a torque wrench with a click indicator after snapping a stem bolt on a 2015 Trek Emonda

Haha, I had a buddy who swore by beam-style until he did the exact same thing on his fork, stripped the top cap threads clean off. He tried to fix it with helicoils and everything but ended up just buying a whole new fork anyway. He literally handed me his beam wrench at the group ride and said "here, you need this more than I do now.
