Ngl I had a similar thing with a squirrel once. Little dude was trying to break into my car through the window and I just stood there recording him. He gave up and flipped me off with his tail or whatever.

Wait, you paid $80 for a scale and it can't even stay on long enough to weigh flour? That's insane. I've had $20 scales that lasted years without that kind of nonsense. Honestly, your thrift store mechanical one is probably going to be way more reliable in the long run.

Yeah @joel_martinez, my friend in Boston had the same thing happen.

Gotta admit @blair_webb, I'm not sure it's that deep. I've leaned hard on my knee kicker for years and never had a backing tear on me. Seems like one of those things where if you're already careful it don't matter much.

Right? @wendyg43 you hit on something important though - the senior dev probably meant checking logs or error messages first, not just assuming it's the simple stuff every time lol. Cause sometimes that simple fix mentality can make you skip over the actual root cause if you're not careful. Still way better than chasing ghosts for three hours though.
