Heard a pilot say once that paper is the only backup when the whole system goes down, which is why some airlines keep printers at every gate. Feels less like paper is the problem and more like the apps just aren't reliable enough yet to ditch it.

I never counted syringes but I did count spray tans one summer and hit 40 before I lost my mind laughing about it. My cousin is the one who counts things, she has a whole notebook of every manicure she's gotten since 2016. When she hit 100 she brought a tiny cake to the salon and everyone was so confused. The weird part is she said the number made her realize she'd been going every 3 weeks for years without ever once thinking about it. Now she goes every 5 weeks because the count made her stop and question the habit. Numbers sneak up on you when you're just living your life.

That ghost voltage stuff is no joke, because a cheap meter showing live when it's not will have you tearing apart a panel for an hour for nothing. Same deal with my $70 Klein clamp meter, it looked dumb at the time but it found a neutral that was barely making contact and my old meter never caught it. Tools that read true save you way more than they cost in the time you don't waste chasing stuff that isn't real.
