Actually, a lot of times it's about the technique, not the tool. I've used bargain pans for years and once you break them in, they work just FINE. The key is to sand down any rough edges yourself and keep the pan clean. Spending more money doesn't always fix the problem if your method is off.

Come on, how big of a deal can it really be? So he mixed up the dates and had to fix it, HR deals with way worse stuff every single day. It's not like he just didn't show up for work. People act like changing a time-off request is some huge crime, but it's just a simple admin fix. Making it sound like a disaster is kinda over the top.

My balcony garden was a joke until @the_mary's fire escape tip.

Wait, for a fuel system check?

Sometimes a quick tip helps, no harm done.
