inG-code typo nearly scrapped a $900 part yesterday
Man, decimal errors are sneaky because the machine just does what you tell it, no complaints. I started putting the finish pass depth in a comment line right above the move so my eyes catch the mismatch before cycle start.

inPro tip: the closed sign at the Toledo diner had a tiny typo that regulars caught 8 months early
Sounds more like the cook just can't spell and the kid was messing with you. A countdown implies someone planned the typos on purpose but most diners I know can barely keep the coffee fresh let alone run a secret code.

Man, my cousin did the same thing with a ketchup bottle in her wedding video.

inSwept 3 flues at a 1890s house in Providence and the last one had 6 feet of packed creosote, customer said the guy before me was there 2 months ago
Nobody ever checks the flue size against the appliance. Old houses in Providence got those big open fireplaces, but somewhere along the way somebody shoved in a wood stove or a furnace with a smaller outlet. When the flue is way oversized for what's hooked up, the smoke cools off before it gets out the top. Cool smoke dumps creosote fast. Two months can do that if the setup is wrong. The sweep before you may have done a fine job and the house still clogged itself back up.
