Did you hear about that firm using a shared spreadsheet to flag duplicate charges weekly?

The part about people actually commenting on the work now instead of just scrolling really hit me. I've done the same thing where I packed a case study with so many screenshots that it felt more like a photo dump than a story. Deleting half of them and adding a tight summary at the top sounds scary because you worry you're losing the "proof" of your process, but it sounds like it forced people to focus on the actual thinking. I bet that 3 line summary made them curious enough to look closer at the images that stayed, which is way better than them skimming 90 pages and getting nothing. Good for you for having the guts to cut it down, I know that's not easy.

Got a buddy who never cleaned his smoker for like three years. He kept saying it "added flavor" and all that. One day he fires it up for a big party and the whole thing catches fire from all the grease buildup in the bottom. Flames were shooting out the sides and he had to throw the whole smoker in the driveway and let it burn out. His pork butts were ruined obviously but the worst part was the smell. That rancid burning grease stuck to his house and clothes for days. He finally gets a new smoker and now he cleans it after every single cook like his life depends on it lol.

My buddy Tim watched a shop do the same thing on his F-150 last month.

@diana55 makes a good point about the cheap Chinese sets. Read a forum post where a guy tested $60 vs $300 end mills side by side on aluminum. The expensive ones actually wore out faster in his test. Something about the coatings not matching the speeds and feeds. Maybe that's what happened with your $400 set.
