That "aha moment" about your bike wobbling is so real. It's crazy how often the smallest loose part, like one spoke, can throw off a whole system. I see that everywhere now, from a squeaky cabinet hinge making the whole kitchen feel broken to one missed email causing a week of confusion at work.

Spot on, @the_sage. Now every quiet spot has a line and a cash register. The fun parts get lost in all the rules and crowds. Pretty soon, nature will come with a barcode.
