Honestly, @jessew83, I get your point, but sometimes going in blind lets you spot stuff reviews never talk about. Tbh, I tried a book everyone panned for its slow start, and that buildup made the ending hit way harder for me. Ngl, when you avoid reviews, you notice small details that get lost in the big talking points. Like with that indie game, all the chat was about the graphics, but I found the characters way more deep. Skipping the review cycle can actually lead you to your own weird connections that no one else is making.

Heat the wick a bit before using it, doesn't that make it soak up solder faster? @richard_robinson's method works, but a quick preheat can save time.

Wait, is it actually that big of a deal? I feel like people freak out over every little thing. It's just water, you mop it up and move on.
