Upvoted especially for noticing that "Be careful!" is unhelpfully vague, and bothering to think of a usably specific piece of advice.

The best technique I use for "being careful" is to imagine the ways something could go wrong (e.g., my fingers slip and I drop something, I trip on my feet/cord/stairs, I get distracted for second, etc.). By imagining the specific ways something can go wrong, I feel much less likely to make a mistake.

Half of the Berkeley meetups are designated as large meetups as a Schelling point for people who only want to go to half of them.

What differentiates a small meetup from a regular meetup?
