Yeah that actually changed my mind. Never saw it that way before.

Just buy a cheap oven thermometer and save the headache.

Read an old accident report about a guy who surfaced too fast after a deep wreck dive and got bent so bad he bled from his ears. That image stuck with me. Now I always use a computer AND a backup timer, and I never trust a single gauge. Also heard a story about a diver who died because his helium tank had too much oxygen in it from a bad fill. I check every single mix with my own analyzer now, even if the shop says it's good.

Stop doing that, rebar's got a manganese coating that ruins forge welds (ask me how I know).

Nah I gotta disagree with you there man, LED strips done right can actually set a vibe way better than a desk lamp bouncing off the ceiling. I've got some dimmable RGBIC ones in my living room and I can dial in exactly what I'm feeling - warm orange for chill nights or cool blue when I'm gaming. A desk lamp just throws one flat color and feels like I'm still in a dorm room or something. Maybe you just haven't seen a good setup with diffusers and proper placement, cause when it's soft and indirect it's way more immersive than any lamp I've tried.
