Glad it worked out for you but I've had the opposite happen. Found a cheap rental once and it was a total scam, place looked nothing like the photos. Ended up paying for a hotel anyway that night. For a short trip the hotel is just easier, you know what you're getting. I don't want to waste time dealing with a host or reading a list of checkout chores. The extra cost is worth it for the peace of mind.

Our agency runs campaigns for a lot of B2B tech. We saw the same thing with a client selling compliance software to banks. They stopped their big trade show push and made ten different case study videos, each one for a different bank size and regulation. Their sales calls went from explaining the basics to just closing deals. The broad stuff just waters down the message. People need to see their exact problem solved, not a general overview.

Honestly, just muscle memory, like @tylerj22 said.

Three years on a $12 folder? No wonder!

My old HP 6236B supply did the same thing last year. I mean, the magic smoke just left the main transformer. I had to replace a toasted bridge rectifier and two caps before it would even hum.
