Oh man, the "pinch of this and that" thing is so real... my grandma's banana bread recipe literally says "bake until it smells done" and it comes out perfect every time. Meanwhile I tried a Pinterest version that had exact measurements and it turned out like a brick. The thing that gets me is how they never specify if the butter should be softened or melted... like that's a huge deal for texture and they just gloss over it. My grandma's card has a stain where she probably wiped her hands and that's more reliable than any food blog I've found.

That whole thing about it being "waterless" is kind of a lie actually. Those sprays need you to use a ton of microfiber towels and change them out constantly, otherwise you're just grinding dirt into the clear coat. The bottle says one thing but the real trick is you basically have to wash the car twice - once with the spray and then again with water to get the residue off. So it's not even saving you time or money in the long run. Your swirl marks are from the dirt particles getting trapped under that spray, not from the product itself failing. But yeah, I wouldn't waste your cash on another one unless you're okay with a lot of elbow grease and extra towels. Did you try any kind of clay bar or polish after to get the swirls out?

150 bucks a month for a desk though... seems steep.

Yeah that's actually solid advice. Most people overthink squaring when it's usually just the angle of attack. I've been tilting the hoof stand slightly toward me lately and it stops the shoe from twisting.

Tell me about it. Wasted a solid two years of my life being a wheat paste purist like a total goof.
