Isn't it funny how the "upgrades" just end up being fancy paperweights more often than not? That's exactly why I keep my old analog kiln going even though it's ugly and I have to babysit it. You pay a premium for something that's supposed to be better but all you get is a new set of headaches.

Frank was right; I used to think a dropped level was fine until I checked one against a new one and saw a bubble off by a quarter inch.

Oh nice! I fought a red light ticket with a dashcam video showing the light was yellow and they tossed it.

Yeah, "find a better dataset" is the key. We had to do that last year. Just pulled a ton of public posts from different places, not just one site, and it fixed the bias fast.

But what about the plaster and lath walls that get destroyed during a rewire? Mark_green is right about the autopilot quotes, but nobody talks about the repair nightmare left behind. A good inspection can save the house itself, not just the wiring.
