inShowerthought: I was installing a custom built-in in a 1920s Craftsman in Pasadena and cut the crown molding profile backward on a $300 piece of 8-foot claro walnut.

inTIL the platinum blonde craze here is just wrecking hair
Exactly, it's that cycle of damage that kills me. They skip the twenty dollar treatment to save money, then need three hundred dollars of corrective color six months later. The math just doesn't work out for them, and we're left fixing a mess that was totally avoidable. It honestly takes the joy out of the job when you're just undoing damage instead of creating something new.

inPro tip: I bought a cheap drone for site surveys and it cost me a full day of work.
Man, a whole day? That seems like a major overreaction. It's a three hundred dollar toy, what did you expect, survey grade data? You gotta know the tool's limits before you bet your whole schedule on it.

inHot take: that fancy 'all weather' sleeping bag I bought for a trip to the Smokies was a total waste of $250
Honestly, sleeping bag ratings can be so hit or miss. Maybe you just got a bad night or the damp air got to you? I've had my cheap bag feel fine at its rating and then totally fail another time. It's rarely a perfect science.
