Remember when we used to run coax without pre-mapping the attic crawl? Man, things have changed.

Remember when we used to run coax without pre-mapping the attic crawl? Man, things have changed. Back in 2015, I'd just crawl up there blind and hope the path was clear, you know? Now with these big mesh WiFi systems and smart home gadgets, I have to spend 20 minutes mapping out every potential interference point (like a microwave in the kitchen) before I even touch a cable. Has anyone else noticed customers getting way pickier about signal drops in weird spots like bathrooms?

Is it just me or has the whole "prep time" creeped into everything now? I mean, I feel like I spend more time planning simple stuff these days than actually doing it. Even something like grilling burgers, I used to just throw them on, now I'm checking temps and mapping out the grill zones. It's like we traded the messy chaos for this weird hyper-organized mindset that takes all the fun out of it.

People way overthink cooking these days. Just slap the meat on the fire and flip it when it looks right. All that thermometer and zone stuff is for people who need a hobby besides eating. Burgers survived for thousands of years without someone mapping out a heat map on the grill. Half the fun is not knowing exactly how it's gonna turn out.
