inGuy on a podcast claimed you need 10,000 hours to get good at anything and I finally looked up where that number actually comes from
That "just an average for one elite group" part is the whole thing and people always skip it. Honestly it reminds me of when I got into sourdough during lockdown. Some guy on YouTube said you gotta bake a loaf every single day for a year to get decent. I did maybe 15 loaves over four months, and by loaf 12 it was actually good bread. Turned out the daily thing was just what worked for that one guy who had a ton of free time. Same with guitar, my buddy played maybe 30 minutes a day for two years and he's way better than a guy I know who grinded for hours and quit. Ngl the hours are way less important than people want to admit.

inI thought the old coal forge trick was total junk until I tried it at my shop in Akron
Banking the coal shallow in the center works because it lets air flow up through the fire instead of choking it, so Walt's trick is just basic draft control.

inI thought filler episodes were always skippable until my buddy Dave argued one through at a con in Baltimore
Had a buddy in college who swore by this rule that any episode with a different director was worth watching twice. He would pull up the credits and pause the show just to check, which drove our whole dorm nuts. Fast forward two years and he's the one guy in our group who caught every tiny detail in the final season, all because he refused to skip anything. Makes you wonder if the filler label was just something fans made up to feel better about skipping. Half the stuff people call filler is really just the show letting the characters breathe.
