Hang on, is saving 20 minutes on a valve lash really that big of a deal, or is this just an old guy who likes his trick? I mean, I get being fast, but on an ISX I'd rather take the extra time and know the clearance is dead on, especially cold. A bent feeler gauge at 45 degrees sounds like a good way to get a false reading if you're not careful, and then you're chasing a tick later. Seems like the kind of shortcut that works great until it doesn't, if you know what I mean.

Three weeks ago I would've sworn patch testing was overkill for stuff labeled sensitive. Then my cousin tried a "gentle" tinted moisturizer before her engagement photos, whole face turned blotchy in an hour. The label listed niacinamide right there, plain as day, and nobody thought to flip the bottle over. Now I'm that annoying person who makes everyone swatch behind their ear first, even on the "safe" stuff.

3 weeks of gym bag smell and it still came out fine? That’s more forgiving than my last sourdough starter and that only smelled like a damp towel for 2 days lol.

My old Norton subscription did the same thing, three years and it never caught anything my firewall didn't already block. I switched to Defender full-time last year and honestly it's been smoother, those combo tools just add clutter.

Did it hold its calibration after a few drops or just that one time?
