Whoa, yeah that stat hits different when you see it in black and white. I've been doing this for about 8 years and I still had to read it twice. Last winter I cleaned a flue that was practically a creosote cave - thick, shiny, tar-like stuff running all the way up. The homeowner said they'd been burning green wood all season. I've pulled out more of that nasty buildup than I care to remember, and every time I think about how fast it can ignite. It's wild how casual people are about it until they see their own chimney looking like a soot monster.

But doesn't it sort of depend on what you're cooking too? Like if you're simmering a pot of chili for a couple hours versus just boiling pasta for ten minutes, that has to change the math quite a bit. I'm curious, have you actually timed how long one of those little green bottles lasts you during a normal meal prep session? It might be way less dramatic than the manual makes it sound if you're not running it wide open the whole time.

Wait, "still want popcorn and a crowd"? Is that actually a thing people are demanding again? I mean, I guess I figured after everything with the strikes and the convenience of streaming, nobody wanted to deal with sticky floors and overpriced snacks. But maybe it's just me, I haven't been to a theater in like two years. Honestly, the whole experience sounds exhausting now, sitting in the dark with a bunch of strangers.

Paper tape vs mesh is really not that deep of a debate.

Old mechanical cameras are tanks, man. A loose screw or worn part isn't a "failure", it's just time for a CLA. Your backup Canon body dying would've been a real disaster not a $50 fix at a camera shop.
