Did you actually get your Snap-on checked against a certified calibration standard, or are we just trusting the Harbor Freight torque wrench to be the one that's right? I've seen cheap torque wrenches be dead on out of the box, sure, but I've also seen them drift way worse than the pricey ones after a few hard years. Blaming an 8 ft-lb miss on the tool alone feels like a stretch when head gaskets blow for a dozen other reasons anyway. If the cheap one is off by 10 lbs the other direction next month, are you gonna swap back and call it a draw? At the end of the day, a torque wrench is a tool you gotta check now and then, not a one-time holy grail.

40 cents is just the appetizer. Wait till they start charging per grain.

Original pressings of Dark Side" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. No shade, but that album is one of the most pressed records in history, so "original" really just means "old enough to have some crackle." Still, you're right that the flip is real. My shop's CD bin is basically a museum piece at this point, and the kids coming in want the physical weight of a record, not the convenience of a disc. The 1998 article got the death part right, it just picked the wrong format to die.
