Dry runs might feel slow, but @mason.brian is right that they stop big crashes from happening. Those crashes can cost you more time to fix than just doing a careful check first. In the end, it's better to be safe than sorry.

I mean my buddy in landscaping once mowed the wrong thing first.

Wow, breaking all the rules and getting away with it? Just wait for the first heat wave.

In my town, raw oak like yours, @anderson.grant, gets people talking.

Another friend of mine had a rendering meltdown with his PC last year. The fans were so loud we had to shout over them, and the whole thing froze halfway through. Hearing @the_cora's story just brings back that painful memory of tech failing when you need it most.
