My 3M half mask respirator has been in my basement workbench drawer for five years now. It only gets used when I'm already choking on drywall dust, which proves Laura's point perfectly. Now I keep the filters right next to the sander so I see them first.

Seriously, my friend tried to make her great aunt's pickles and the recipe just said "creek water." She used tap and they tasted totally wrong.

Honestly, did you get stuck paying for storage space too while you waited? That extra cost is what kills me on these delays. Tbh, I always pad the timeline they give me by at least two weeks now before I even tell the client. You have to plan for the back-and-forth shipping damage inspection nightmare on top of it. Ngl, having a solid backup plan for your crew is the only way to stay sane.

You measured every single stem? That's next level, I could never be that careful.

It's like we're all just choosing which eco-nightmare to back now. @vera514 nailed it with the trade from oil holes to lithium pits. These cars look good until you see the mining behind them. I guess walking is the true green option, but my knees disagree. The cycle of guilt never ends.
