Man, I used to swear by hand floating everything until a oldtimer showed me the same thing on a shop slab last year. If it's getting a good machine finish and not exposed to freeze thaw right away, the rider does the same job in half the time.

Its the same story everywhere, people skip the manual and just guess, then act shocked when stuff breaks. For small bolts especially, hand tight plus a quarter turn is how you end up at the hardware store looking for a thread repair kit.

6 shows to 1 in 3 months is wild, my own watchlist has been stuck at 14 for like a year so your brother is basically lapping me. Honestly the dub thing makes sense for gaming, I tried that once and ended up 40 hours into Stardew with zero idea what happened in the episode. Tbh the dub voices yank me out too, especially the ones where the lip flaps are off and everyone sounds like they're reading a menu. So I stay subbed and just accept that I finish maybe 2 shows a season while other people blow through 10.
