Holy cow you hit the BOOM control?! That's the part that got me. The radio blasting is one thing, but moving the actual crane by accident? I can just see that hook swinging around like a crazy pendulum. Your buddy on the ground must have had a heart attack thinking you were sending emergency signals. That is next level dangerous.

Nah, looks more like heat stress to me, @hugo441.

Traffic jams than haircuts really sums it up. We had a spinning tire ad that did the same thing last year. A few of us called the city council to complain, and they made the shop turn down the spin speed. Now it just looks like a lazy tire, but at least people aren't crashing into each other. Sometimes you have to trade spectacle for safety.

Spot on. That gumminess happens when excess oil can't fully bond to the metal. Buffing it dry is the crucial step everyone misses. Apply heat right after wiping to help that thin layer set properly. It should look almost dry before it even goes on the burner. Thick coats just bake into a sticky mess every time.

Honestly, we all must look ridiculous doing that little hover-and-tap dance. It's like a secret club where the membership fee is paid in minor burns. You just hope no one's watching the first time you learn not to grab the shiny thing.
