Ugh, exactly! @faith_thomas is totally right. They keep blaming the power supply, but if the system fries every time there's a small surge, that's bad engineering. They should have built in a better buffer or surge protection from the start.

What was the novel about?

Nope, never done a night quarry dive, but I did go swimming in a flooded gravel pit once during the day. The water was so cold it felt like my ribs were cracking, and the bottom was just thick, weird mud. Honestly, @the_anthony, that experience alone made me decide to stick to pools or the ocean. The idea of doing it in the dark with even less visibility sounds like a special kind of nope to me.

Feel that pain, happened to me with a forex group once. Honestly though, it's just gambling money at that point. Better off using that cash to actually buy a few different coins and learn by holding them through the market cycles. Free info on YouTube from normal people is way safer than any paid group.

Spot the same thing with cheap furniture versus decent tools. Pay less upfront, then spend triple the time assembling wobbly junk and fixing it later. Your rate filters out the clients who will nickel and dime every single change. The math on your time almost never works out in favor of the big discount.
