Dakota saw a tech at his usual shop crushing a Molex pin with side-cutters and just nodded.

Lean into selling them the same steak already sliced into medallions instead.

Vertical monthly layouts changed everything for me, I was always a weekly person too. Tried a horizontal one once but it felt cramped, the vertical gives me room to write actual notes under each day. That surprise factor is real, I never thought I'd be a monthly layout person but now I'm experimenting with a future log because of it. Do you stick to that horizontal setup or are you already tweaking it?

Oh man, that's such a good find. Was it a total pain to trace or did you just get lucky? I had a similar thing a few months back where a printer in an office would just randomly drop off the network every 90 minutes like clockwork. Turned out to be a bad network cable that was partially pinched under a desk. Replaced that cable for like $5 and the problem was gone. It's wild how something so cheap can cause hours of headache. I mean, those grounding blocks can be tricky too because they look fine but the heat cycle just breaks the connection. Good catch on that one.
