You said "Oster 76s" but those are actually corded clippers, not cordless ones, so they wouldn't be charging in a drawer. The 76 model is the classic metal beast that plugs straight into the wall with that thick rubber cord. Maybe you're thinking of the Oster Fast Feed or something else? I've seen those cordless ones die mid cut too, just never burst into flames like the old school 76s.

You mentioned "a nice round number" and I get the appeal of that idea... but I think there's more to it than just picking a clean cutoff. The thing is, most of these older systems don't actually operate on a set number like that. They're built with gradual failure points, not a hard stop at an even count... so calling it a round number feels too simple. It's more likely the system hit a limit it couldn't work around, and that limit just happened to look tidy afterward. Kind of like how a car doesn't quit exactly at 100,000 miles, you know?

Actually people park just fine, the real issue is that we've got way too many cars on the road and not enough places to put them. If you look at most suburban strip malls, they've got these tiny lots that were designed for a fraction of the cars that show up now. And don't get me started on the folks who get mad when someone parks slightly over the line in a crowded lot at Home Depot on a Saturday. You ever notice how nobody complains about parking at like 7 AM on a Tuesday? It's because there's space then. The problem isn't the drivers, it's that we keep building everything around driving without thinking about where all those cars are supposed to go when they stop.

Nah but have you ever seen them cache food somewhere random and then forget about it? Wonder if that's part of their algorithm or just a bug.

Those dollar store finds are legit sometimes... Rosa knows what's up.
