Grabbed one for myself right after that and never looked back.

Ha, right? Like my fridge has been running longer than my attention span during a Zoom meeting. I mean, idk why I'm still blaming the LED bulbs when my ancient water heater is probably the real vampire sucking the life out of my electric bill. Maybe it's just me but I'd rather blame the little stuff because fixing the big stuff sounds like actual work.

And @hugo_singh nailed it with the thermal expansion thing, but nobody's mentioned how cheap pans often have a rough surface that actually speeds up the coating peeling off your spatula scraping across it.

Haha, I gotta push back here a little bit. I mean yeah, it's cool to see the numbers add up, but I don't TRULY FEEL like I've climbed Everest just because my GPS says so. The real Everest would absolutely wreck me - altitude, weather, avalanches, the whole deal. My hill repeats just mean I'm out of breath for a few minutes, not fighting for survival. So while the math is neat, it kinda glosses over the ACTUAL difference between a fun hobby and a life-or-death challenge.

My cat literally did this exact thing last week... I thought I was being clever with my cable raceway but apparently cats see it as a climbing structure with bonus dangling wires. Now my setup looks like a combination of a tech office and a toddler-proofed living room.
