Used to roll my eyes at that stuff, but now I get it.

Ugh this is so relatable. My neighbor is the exact same way, she waters her cucumbers every single evening while I'm lucky if I remember twice a week. Maybe it's just me but I swear those little cherry tomato plants just love being babied all the time.

OH MAN yes this is SO true! I was a TOTAL skeptic for years, thought scales were just for fancy bakers. Finally got one after my chocolate chip cookies kept coming out like frisbees one batch and rocks the next. Weighed my flour for the VERY first time and it was like a magic trick. My cookies came out EXACTLY the same size and texture, no more guessing if I packed the cup too tight or left it too loose. Now I even weigh my brown sugar and butter, it's made a HUGE difference for my banana bread too.

Water spritzing actually killed my bark last time, moisture helps it form better.

You really have to dial in the speed per episode or it's a disaster? Seems like more effort than just watching it the normal way at that point. I mean if you have to switch between 1x and 1.4x depending on the scene, is it actually improving the experience or just making you micromanage the playback? Feels like people overthink this stuff sometimes, just watch the show.
