Wait, is this really THAT big of a deal? I mean, plants are hardy things, they bounce back from a little droop. My mom's pothos gets watered whenever she remembers, and it's been fine for years.

@sandra693 "just runs until something fails" yeah ain't that the truth. Then you're stuck hunting for a part that's been out of production since before the internet.

Honestly, that hardware store burn would've fixed me too. Sometimes you need a random stranger to call you out on your mess.

Next you're gonna tell me I don't need to cry into my risotto for "authentic flavor". I've been doing the tablespoon thing forever too and now I feel personally attacked by a teaspoon. Guess I'll save my salt money for something useful like buying more pasta.

Always the random kitchen gadgets nobody wanted that end up being the real lifesavers, never the fancy stuff everyone chases.
