How about that, always good when the tool you doubted comes through.

Starting from that "double-checking everything" point... it really does bleed into other stuff. After my rocket failed, I started treating everything with even mild risk the same way. Checking my bike brakes before a steep hill, or even just making sure a ladder is solid before climbing. That one scary moment rewires your brain... you stop seeing extra checks as a hassle and more like the only way to do things. It becomes automatic after a while, just part of the routine.

That idea about shaking moving the steam seems like food science making a small thing seem big. Do we really need to worry about it? Like with fries in a bag, shaking them might help a little, but they taste the same either way. Or with microwave pizza, turning it is better than shaking. It's not that serious for most people.
