Spent a fortune on a set of those last year and they were junk. The magnets lost their pull after a few months of real heat. My old adjustable horseshoe clamps might take an extra minute to set up, but they don't fail when you need them most. I've seen guys drop big money on fancy gear that just doesn't hold up like the basics.

Hold on, wasn't that clip actually from the Mandalay Bay and it was just the one window? I mean, I remember seeing a breakdown that the second flash people talk about was a reflection from another building's glass. The full video is still on some archive sites, but idk, it gets blurry when you zoom in. Maybe it's just me but that whole thing got so messy with rumors right after it happened.

Actually, I think you made the right call. That line was still the better bet, you just got unlucky. Sometimes the smart move just has a random bad outcome.

Oh man, that's the worst. It totally counts. I started running a dehumidifier in my kitchen on bad days, just for baking. It's a game changer for stuff like that. @the_jake, you might try that before giving up on buttercream completely. Makes a huge difference with the texture.

Yeah, the connected data thing is so real. I once just texted my friend about needing a new vacuum and ads for that exact model were in my feed by the next morning. It's not just what you search, it's everything.
