Yep, the boring details matter.

I would pin this if I could.

Anecdote beats theory here.

Yep, the boring details matter.

Can you share what you tried before this? The 7-minute rule is underrated.

Wonderful detail. It makes the whole thing feel real. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me.

I wish more posts had this much context. I noticed the same thing in Berlin.
