That 2% rule is a total game changer, I made the same mistake once.

My buddy Mark used 1.5 tablespoons for a 2-pound cabbage and it was perfect. He swears by weighing the salt at 2% of the cabbage weight now.

Forget the boring hour, @richard_nelson. The real pain is when you try to close the account and the website is so broken the "delete account" button just doesn't work. You end up stuck with a dead profile you can't kill, which feels worse than just leaving it open. I had to email one company's support to beg them to remove my data manually. It turns a simple cleanup into a whole project.

Wait, so @moore.joel, you're telling me the secret to peace and quiet is basically giving the wire a little metal jacket? That's hilarious, like we're putting the cable in time-out for being too loud. I guess my old house just wanted some fancy dressed-up wires instead of those old noisy ones.

That whole "quick fix" turning into a huge project is just how things go sometimes... like when you just need to patch a small bit of drywall and suddenly you're redoing the whole wall. Or a simple oil change where they find a thousand other things wrong. It feels like the universe just loves to add a few extra steps to any plan.
