That torque wrench lesson translates to way more than just carburetors. I see the same thing with people overtightening oil drain plugs or spark plugs. They think "tight" means "crank it harder" when really it just means "stop at the right number." Same principle applies to lug nuts on a trailer or even the bolts on a lawn mower deck. Folks get in a hurry and muscle things down, then end up stripping threads or cracking something. A $30 torque wrench saves you from buying a new intake manifold or a set of wheels. We've gotten real lazy about using the right tool for the job.

Did you check the leaves' underside first thing or what?

You think cheap stuff is ever actually cheap, @the_robin?

My buddy Marcus had a Palm Tungsten that he babied for almost 12 years. The screen got all scratched up and the battery barely held a charge but he kept using it to organize his fishing trips. He finally killed it when he dropped it in a cooler full of ice and beer at a BBQ last summer. He fished it out but the thing was done. Now he just uses a notepad app on his phone but he misses the physical buttons.

It took me a minute to realize what @rosek73 was saying here, but yeah, I think you're right. They're both programmed now to flag suspicious links, not just phishing attempts in emails. So when you click a fake Best Buy link from a text or a forum post, the password manager catches it because it doesn't match the real site's URL pattern. But what I'm wondering is, have you ever had it block a legit link by mistake? Like a weird subdomain or a redirect that was actually safe. That's the only thing that makes me nervous about trusting it completely.
