inJust read that a 1970s Nikon F2 shutter is rated for 150,000 cycles, which is wild for a mechanical part.
Forget turn signals, think about the clock in your car. That thing clicks over a million times and nobody even notices. Makes you wonder what other everyday items have crazy endurance specs we just ignore, right? Like a door hinge in a busy office building, how many opens and closes before it gives up? We're surrounded by quiet little engineering wins that never get a shoutout.

inForgot to label layers once and paid for it
Actually, color coding is what I use before I even start naming layers. It's not an extra step at all, it's the first thing I do. I'll make all text layers blue and photo layers green right away. That way everything is sorted visually while I'm building the file.

inMy brother said my 5% brine for kraut was way too salty...
Reminds me of how my grandma used to triple the garlic in every recipe because she thought it kept us healthy. We do this with a lot of rules, especially for food safety, where we add way more of something than needed just to feel secure. I've seen it with cooking times, fridge temps, you name it. We crank the dial to eleven to avoid a tiny risk, then wonder why the results are off.
