What if that hidden note is the only proof you ever existed?

Yeah it's wild how much the stand matters. I mean the anvil itself is only half the system, right? If the base is dead it just kills all the energy. Steve's lucky he found that maple, that's a solid score.

Can confirm, hardwood makes a brutal difference.

Better feel for signal noise" is so true. I read an article about ham radio guys who swear by analog meters for tuning because you see the needle dance.

Remember my "stop" signal was basically jazz hands until a crane operator just stared at me while a load kept swinging. Had to go home and practice in the mirror like a weirdo, using actual clear motions. My "go left" used to be a vague wave that could also mean "hi" or "I see a bee." Now it's a stiff, robotic point that leaves no room for doubt. Felt like learning a whole new language just to avoid causing chaos.
