My coworker insisted I use a 20 developer on level 4 hair, that turned out awful

Give the 30 another shot on drier hair first.

Troubleshooting a 737NG pitot static leak took me all day Tuesday

Is it really that deep, or just bubbles?

Finally sold on enclosed transport after a rock chip nightmare outside Reno

Funny thing is I ran the same math and figured open was fine until a rock the size of a pea turned my hood into a connect-the-dots puzzle. That $850 premium starts looking like a deal when you're staring at a $1,200 paint repair bill. Lesson learned, my truck gets the fancy ride from now on too.

Found out condo insurance barely covers water backup, now I'm rethinking everything

Ugh, that 5k cap is brutal, I feel for your neighbor! I got hit with the same thing two years ago when my own sump pump gave out during a nasty spring thaw. My rider covered the drywall and carpet but not the subfloor or the dehumidifier rental, so I was out like 6 grand out of pocket. Honestly, the separate sewer backup rider is worth it, I pay like an extra 40 bucks a year for 25k in coverage. Also, get a cheap water alarm and a battery backup for the pump, it's way cheaper than any claim, trust me on that.

Spent 6 hours on a lift plan, one old timer fixed it in 20 minutes

Hated admitting it for years, but yeah, the old guys just see things the books don't cover. I used to think more time on the math meant I was being careful, then a guy who ran 4100s before I was born pointed out my pick chart was checked against the wrong boom angle. Took me a minute to realize he wasn't guessing, he'd just done this exact move so many times that the pattern was obvious. Now I bounce my plan off any retired hand hanging around the shop before I burn an afternoon. That kind of shortcut is worth more than any training class I ever sat through.
