inTIL that using a cheap dashcam vs a mid-range one is night and day
Did you notice a big difference just at night or during the day too? Honestly, the biggest thing I found after upgrading was how much better it handles sudden bright headlights without washing everything out. Even cheap ones can look fine in good light, but on a rainy night is when you really see where your money went.

inSaw a service panel go from fine to fried in under a month
That humidifier better be putting out nothing but DISAPPOINTMENT because that's all it's good for in that setup. @murray.cole is dead on about the fog - I've seen those cheap ultrasonic ones leave a wet film on everything within ten feet. You might as well be spraying water directly into the panel with a garden hose. The corrosion is already past the "oops I spilled coffee" stage and heading straight into "your bus bars are gonna look like rusty nails" territory. Move it at least six feet away, and honestly just run a proper dehumidifier if you want to save that panel from becoming an expensive paperweight.

inLost a full day of work after a static IP got reassigned
Yeah that whole situation sounds like a nightmare, getting hit with a silent IP change on an enterprise contract is unacceptable. ISP's seem to think they can just do whatever they want during maintenance windows without any real accountability. Did they at least credit your account for the downtime after you got it sorted?

inThe night a stranger at a bar got me to finish The Leftovers
Oh man, that's exactly how it goes with those dense shows! I've been there too, and I'll tell you the trick is to stop trying to catch every little detail on the first watch. Just let it wash over you and trust that the payoff is coming. For me, dropping the pressure to understand everything immediately made all the difference. And yeah, Season 2 of The Wire can be a slog with the whole dock storyline, but you gotta remember it's setting up stuff for later seasons. Sometimes you just gotta lower your expectations and let the show do its thing, right?

inTIL that some dredge pumps lose up to 30% efficiency just from worn impeller clearances
Wait 30% just from clearance gaps on a worn impeller?
