My old phone survived a two-story drop, so real world hits often surprise more than lab tests count for.

Gatekeeping just shrinks the community, like @lisa_jones21 said.

My nephew "helped" me repot a fern last weekend and I'm still finding soil in weird places. I found a clump in the bathroom cup holder, his socks were basically mud puppets, and there was a perfect little handprint on the fridge door. He looked so proud standing there covered in dirt, like a tiny, happy swamp thing.

Yeah, tell me about it @lisa_murray. I'm probably part of the problem, huffing and puffing my way up there and ruining everyone's quiet.

People forget cables can wear out inside too. Constant bending near the plug can break the tiny wires, even if the connection feels tight. It's worth giving the cord a close look for any kinks or damage.
