Honestly that grip shift thing is so real. I had the same thing happen with a harmonic balancer bolt on a Chevy 350, torqued it, went to grab a rag and when I came back it was like 5 pounds off. Now I always do the double check and actually take my hand off the wrench completely between pulls. It sounds dumb but your muscles remember the last position and they trick you into thinking you’re done. Ngl, Mr. Hargrove was onto something with the walk away part, it resets your feel for the click. Tbh I still catch myself rushing on small bolts but anything big gets the two pass treatment now.

Plotting sine points in a spreadsheet sounds way too organized for me, honestly. I tried that once for a bouncing ball animation and ended up just staring at columns of numbers like they were ancient runes. The real kicker is that the spreadsheet approach works fine for static points, but the moment you add easing or a second wave layer, the whole thing falls apart. @theabennett, you seem like the type who would actually color code those cells, which is both terrifying and impressive. I ended up just copying a codepen snippet and tweaking the speed until my friend said it looked "oceanish," which is basically how I do all my math now. The Rotterdam tutorial thing reminded me of that time I tried to learn Blender from a Dutch guy's YouTube series, and I still dont know what a bezier handle does, but I can make a mean donut.
