Totally feel that, had the same thing happen on a denim tote bag I made. The seams just gave out after carrying heavy books for a week. Switched to a heavier duty thread and it's been solid for years now.

Ugh, so true. I had a friend's cheap camp stove give out halfway through cooking for six of us. That sinking feeling when everyone is just standing there hungry is the worst.

Imagine using a living animal as a measuring tool. That's honestly wild to me. A cat's tail is always moving, it flicks and twitches. You'd get a different angle every single second. Plus, what if the cat just decides to walk away or, worse, gets spooked and bolts? You'd lose your whole setup. I can't believe someone would risk a burnt tail just to check a sensor.

Funny how warm tones can literally feel warmer to some people, lol.

So is the fat in peanut butter really enough to slow you down, or is that just a guess? Have you actually tried that specific combo during a long shift?
