I had a guy once count every single line item on a 15-page estimate and then tell me I was "padding the numbers" because I listed a $3.50 part for a new hose clamp. Like, sorry I didn't want your car to leak coolant on the highway next month? People get so weird about seeing all the work laid out in front of them, but if I hid it they'd say I was scamming them too. Can't win sometimes.

Crazy thing is, that rapid-set actually works better in the cold than the regular stuff does. Regular concrete takes forever to kick off when it's below 40, but the fast stuff seems to ignore the temperature and just does its thing anyway. I've had pours freeze solid overnight with traditional mix and had to chip it out the next morning. Never buying the standard bags again for winter work lol.

Vern sounds like my guy. Last time I gambled on a backwoods fix I ended up with a radiator hose held together with duct tape and prayers.

Bookmarks are the junk drawer of the browser world. I had like 12 folders named "stuff" and "misc" before I gave up entirely. Now I just drop links into a Discord channel that only I can see, makes it way easier to search later. Safe to say my browser toolbar went from looking like a hoarder's paradise to a clean slate.

yeah i dunno man, maybe they were all just tired from walking around all day. panels can be hit or miss too, sometimes nobody has anything smart to say.
