inDropped $300 on a 'government mind control' documentary that was just recycled YouTube clips
Three hundred bucks for a YouTube playlist, that's brutal. Check the actual government reports like phoenix149 said, they're free and boring but real.

inA quick chat in a Chiang Mai cafe that made me rethink my whole setup
Yeah @the_mia, I learned that lesson the hard way too (my backup drive fell in a puddle, because of course it did). Now I'm just as paranoid as you are.

inTried a new sealant on a big storefront job and it totally failed
Those "all weather" labels are often a joke. You have to check the actual minimum application temperature on the tube, not the front of the box. Most stuff needs it to be at least 50 degrees to cure properly.

inHad a flange gasket blow on a 600 psi line during a pressure test last Thursday
Yeah, the paint pen trick is a total game changer. It sounds simple, but that visual guide stops you from second guessing yourself halfway through. I learned the hard way too, warping a valve cover on a small block by just going around. Now even on simple jobs I follow the manual's pattern and do the three-step torque. It just saves so much headache and wasted gaskets.
