Totally. Grease splatter all over the stove top is a nightmare. Flour dust gets into every little crack on the counter. Not having to scrub baked on cheese or wipe down sticky counters saves a solid twenty minutes. That time adds up, and it's just less mental stress after eating.

Realize specs can be misleading, @jenniferj65. They test at low brightness to standardize measurements. It gives a baseline for comparison, even if real use is different.

Danish oil really brought the grain back on my oak table. Just needs a few thin coats rubbed in.

I used to worry about starters acting different like adams.vera said, but @mia52 is right that a bigger share gives new people room to learn without stress.

Talking about spoilers reminds me of when I spoiled a game ending for my sister. She was hours from finishing it and got really upset. I felt awful and now I always ask before sharing anything major. It's made our talks about stories way better since we both get to experience the shocks. What's your go-to method for avoiding spoiler slips?
