inCan we talk about how my old password manager just failed me out of nowhere
Your local password manager also owns your data if the cloud backup is on by default.

Creep out under load" is exactly the nightmare scenario lol. Better safe than sorry with that extra length.

inThat tricky window casing took me 6 weekends to figure out
Wait, 6 weekends? That's insane for window trim, man. I've done that scribing trick before with a compass but it usually took me an afternoon, not over a month. Those old plaster walls are a nightmare though, I feel your pain. Were you at least drinking good beer while you were fighting with those gaps?

inFinally got my first perfect rounded spine after 6 months of trying
Does everyone just not have access to a cheap backing press or something? I mean, I get that a bone folder is fine for small rounds on thin sections, but for anything over like 200 pages or on a thick text block, that spine is gonna look lumpy after a day of use. I tried the bone folder method for a while and got decent results on a few softbound notebooks, but the moment I switched to a proper press the difference was night and day. The edges were crisp and even across the whole spine, not just where I could apply pressure with my fingers. Maybe the perfect round you got is real, but I'd bet it won't hold up long if you actually flip through the book a lot.
