Wait, $30 on foam pads is overkill but $1,200 on a speaker isn't? That math doesn't add up to me. I've seen one drunk idiot take out an entire PA at a house show back in 2016. Foam pads and cable routing aren't about being paranoid. They're about not wanting to watch your gear eat shit because someone tripped over a cable you could have just taped down.

The best thing you can do is forward them the city's water report and ask if they'd drink out of the restroom sink. That usually shuts down the "miracle water" talk pretty quick.

damn that is a good feeling when it all just works out like that. we had a roof deck last summer where we planned for two days and the crew just didnt stop. weather was perfect, concrete was flowing right, and we wrapped up a full 12k pour by 3 pm. stood on the edge of that thing and just watched it set up like glass. its those days that make up for the ones where everything fights you.

$450 for six sessions isn't cheap but it's not life changing money either. People miss appointments all the time, she sent an apology, you got a refund I assume? The real issue is you put a stranger on a pedestal because her YouTube videos felt genuine. That's on you for buying the hype. Group apology emails are trash but life coaches aren't therapists, they're self help salesmen. Getting mad about it just gives her more free publicity in your head.

Funny how old school ways keep winning in this tech world.
