Oh yeah! That old school plasterer showed me the same trick.

My uncle Ted swore by his Aeropress for years and I honestly thought he was just being a coffee snob. Then I borrowed his last weekend and wow, that first cup was way smoother than my French press ever made. I still like the French press for that heavy body sometimes but the Aeropress is just cleaner and less fussy. I get why he laughed at me now, wish I had tried it sooner.

Honestly, I used to think the same way you did and really believed that whole thing was a joke. But your point about screen orientation bugs actually makes a lot of sense, I've seen weirder glitches with video players on apps before. Changed my mind on this one, maybe the meme wasn't totally fake after all.

Oh come on, you just got lucky. That cheap tool probably works fine once but good luck with it lasting. I've had those gas station crimpers fall apart mid job, leaving me scrambling with half crimped connectors and no backup.

That whole 'kitchen table meeting' thing really hits home. It's funny how the most important business lessons come from regular people just living their lives, not from some fancy conference.
