Yeah the whole "trapping moisture" thing is exactly what happens when people act too fast. That buddy of yours learned the hard way. Its like when you spill something on a carpet and panic-scrub it immediately instead of blotting it first - you just push the stain deeper. I've seen the same pattern with painting too. People slap a coat on wet wood and wonder why it peels off in sheets a month later. Concrete cracks need to breathe and settle before you seal them, same way a fresh tattoo needs air before you lotion it up. Patience is almost always cheaper than fixing a rushed job.

Yo, for real though! I saw a video from some gear reviewer where they put one of those titanium sporks through a bench vise and it barely dented. Made me rethink all the hype. I've been using a simple stainless steel spoon from a thrift store for like 5 years now and it's still going strong, but I guess the weight thing is legit for backpacking. My buddy's got one of those sporks and he swears by it for stirring his instant coffee without it bending like a cheap fork. Honestly though, I'm still a bit skeptical about the price, but sounds like yours is holding up way better than those plastic ones ever did. Maybe I'll grab one next time I see them on sale.

My bio is actually 4 paragraphs long and I get plenty of matches here in Vancouver. I think it filters out people who just swipe on photos. If someone can't be bothered to read 30 seconds of text, they probably won't be great conversation anyway. @emeryj66 might be onto something about attention spans, but I'd rather have 2 quality matches a week than 7 people who didn't even read what I wrote.

Right? The coffee thing is especially rough (like who hates coffee?).

What kind of local delivery jobs are we talking, like UPS or food service?
