inQuestion about paying for a professional review audit
Was your consultant just reading the reviews out loud? I had the same thing happen. What finally worked for me was hiring a local college marketing student part-time. For way less money, they dug into the actual words people used and spotted a pattern I missed. Turns out a lot of our negative feedback was about confusion over our return policy, not the product itself. We rewrote the policy page and mentioned it clearly in our automatic replies. It made a real difference.

inPSA: A client in Denver asked for 'smart glass' in their bathroom remodel... I had to look it up.
But that film always looks kinda cheap and cloudy to me. I'd rather just get proper smart glass installed, even if it costs more upfront. The quality difference is huge.

inCan we talk about the difference a proper toolpath made on my 316 stainless job
Switched from a standard pocket routine to a trochoidal path for some 304 stainless slots. The old way shook the vise and left chatter marks. The new path just hummed, cut the cycle time by a third, and the endmill lasted twice as long. It's crazy how much the toolpath matters when you're pushing hard materials.

inHot take: I spent $80 on a Blu-ray box set for an anime I ended up hating, just because the forum hype was so loud.
Totally get where you're coming from, @miles825. The hype machine is real (and honestly, kind of exhausting). Fell for it hard a few years back with that space western show everyone swore was the next big thing. Bought the whole first season on disc, watched three episodes, and it just... sat there. Now I do the same thing, just wait for it to pop up on a service I already pay for. Saves so much shelf space, not just money.

inChanged my mind about those quick-setting mortar bags
Isn't type N a bit too hard for most older brick? In my experience, a softer lime-based mix is better to avoid cracking the bricks, @colesanchez. That extra lime you mentioned is definitely the right idea.
