Measuring tape is a good idea, might add it to my work kit. Good loadout.

I do phone in the front left, keys, wallet and knife in the front right. I stopped keeping wallet in the back because it's bad for your hip, and harder to access and protect.

Another way to think about it... YouTube has huge amounts of compute resources, but per user it's an extremely small amount. Your phone has orders of magnitude more power to dedicate to you than YouTube does. Collectively, we have more processing power than YouTube.

Had to do this for my dryer. Was broken for 3 months. I let the rental office know every few days that it wasn't working. Eventually ran a clothesline on my porch and literally aired my "dirty" laundry in public. Got a warning about being in breach of the lease terms, went back to the office the same hour with the escrow paperwork and a copy of the lease terms that they were in breach of (maintaining appliances, responding in a timely fashion) and brought excerpts from my states rental laws showing them that I was in the right to put the account in escrow, and that I could bill them for the escrow fees and my time.

Dryer was fixed the next day.
