My old iPad Air 2 still has 78% battery health after like eight years. I used to think people complaining about new batteries were just unlucky. Then my wife's iPhone 12 needed a replacement after two years, and my own phone is dropping faster than any gadget I've owned. It really feels like the newer stuff is built to wear out quicker on purpose.

a real glass break" just reminds me of that time my cat...

That's awesome when a happy accident works out. My starter seems to do best around 75% in my dry apartment. I tried sticking to 65% for months but the dough was always too tight. The higher hydration just gave it the slack it needed to really expand. Sometimes the environment calls for a specific tweak.

Remember that "key" prompt? I spent a whole week just on that one word, @rileynguyen. First draft was about a lost house key, but by Friday I had a story about a piano key that held a ghost's memory. Starting small meant I could chase that weird idea instead of filling in someone else's plot.

How many rolls did you ruin before you got the hang of it? I felt like a raccoon trying to open a jar the first few times. The black electrical tape method is ugly but it hasn't failed me yet.
