That whole "knock points off your score" thing seems overblown. A single closed account, especially a tiny one, is not a disaster. Your score might dip a few points for a month, maybe. But if your main cards are in good shape, it will bounce back fast. People stress way too much about tiny credit score moves.

Makes me notice how many everyday things have hidden layers like that. I saw a documentary about how common brand logos have little symbols in them you never spot unless someone points it out. It changes how you walk through a grocery store. Guess we're surrounded by these quiet little decisions that shape how we see stuff.

Come on, that's just gear snobbery. I've seen people do amazing work with those cheap heat guns if you actually learn to use them right. Maybe @jakegarcia just needed more practice, not a new toy.

Yeah, that "weird, smelly paste" is the worst, I've been there.

My first zine had a print run of twelve. It's still in my mom's garage.
