Yeah I'm totally with you on the broth cube thing, I always break off a tiny piece instead of using the whole thing. Almost burned a pot of lentils once though, they really do need that full 20 min and you gotta stir em sometimes.

@noahmartin, installing shower doors sounds like a nightmare job. Those glass panels are super heavy and one wrong move could shatter everything. You must have crazy core strength to handle that all day. The brace probably saves your back from giving out by lunchtime. I heard some guys use regular belts but they don't give enough support. Makes total sense why the Mueller is a game changer for you.

Yeah but what's the actual job? Because swapping a few boards is way different than replacing the whole frame. If you're buying all new composite decking and doing a full weekend of work, that's hundreds in materials and a whole lot of your time. Are people expecting you to eat that cost?

Stopped taking AI suggestions at face value after a similar mess. I had it help with a database cleanup, and it drafted a whole new system instead of a few delete commands. (Classic overkill, right?) So I asked a coworker who showed me the simple query. Now I use AI for rough drafts but always look for the shortest path first.

That Pandemic example from Claire is exactly the vibe killer. For @martinez.kim, I usually say "let's make a quick call now and check it later" to keep things moving. Do you find yourself bending rules more when teaching new players, or is it an all the time thing now?
