inHit 200,000 miles on my $1,100 Tacoma and the check engine light came on the same day
A P0420 is usually just your cat or an O2 sensor going bad, it doesn't mean the truck is dying on you. Cat codes like that are super common on high mileage Yotas and a lot of guys just clear it and keep driving. 200k on a Tacoma is barely broken in, so don't panic yet.

inBlew the head gasket at 213,000 miles and now I'm elbow deep in my first ever engine tear down
Buddy of mine did the same thing on a 4.6 and found a socket he lost three years earlier sitting in the valley. Label your bolts, that part bites everyone.

inTook 11 months to figure out my peace lily was thirsty
Chlorine is actually not usually the main issue with tap water, it's more often the fluoride or the total dissolved solids that build up over time. I had a similar thing with my calathea last year, it would crisp up on the edges no matter what I did. I finally tested my tap water and the hardness was off the charts, around 250 ppm. A basic pitcher filter with an ion exchange resin helped way more than just letting the water sit out overnight, which only removes chlorine, not the minerals. The peace lily is super sensitive to salt buildup in the soil from those minerals, so your fix makes total sense.
