Tugging the latch is a smart move. It only takes a second to make sure everything is secure, and it can prevent a bad accident. I've seen gear fail when people skip that simple check. Little habits like that make the whole work area safer. Plus, it becomes automatic after a while, so you don't even have to think about it.

After jamming mine, I now always check the intake grate first.

Security patrols are the worst kind of tourist trap. At least the universe paid you back with a decent vintage photo booth. A blurry strip of pictures seems like a fair trade for that hassle.

Calling it abstract is a funny way to handle it, but I don't see it that way. I make one file and let it look how it looks on other screens, because you can't control every device. It saves me a lot of hassle.

My friend used drones to map a large field for a dig last year. He kept walking the grid himself and found a stone tool pile the images had completely missed. It taught him that tech can miss what a careful eye on the ground will catch.
