Honestly that's wild he won't let a single other person talk. Completely kills the fun of learning a game together. Sounds more about control than the actual rules.

Check heat tolerance too, @webb.hannah, not just capacitance.

You ever get stuck on one idea for way too long? I was totally convinced the peak temp was the only lever for crackle. My own tests with rapid cooling just made a messy spiderweb every time, so I wrote that method off completely. Reading your take on the slow cool actually made me go back and check my old notes. Turns out I was so focused on one variable I missed the bigger picture. Letting things cool down gently really does create that more even, controlled crackle I was trying to force.

How about yoga like my chainsaw, either way gets the knots out.
