Man that's wild lol. Did you try grinding way coarser than you thought you needed for the french press or did you just go with your usual pour over setting?

Bet @alices16 I'd trust a human splicing wires with duct tape over some robot that cant even hit 95% right haha.

Oh man, @jana_hernandez you nailed it with that "can't un-crack a wall" line. I had a similar thing happen with my place actually. The contractor kept telling me they could save two weeks by skipping extra drainage work, but I pushed them to do it anyway. And now three years later, the neighbors who went with the faster build are dealing with water pooling in their crawl space. It's wild how much of that invisible stuff really matters down the line. People just don't get that you're paying for peace of mind as much as the actual work. My place was more expensive and took longer, but I sleep a lot better knowing it's built right.

Man I feel this. Spent a whole year using overlay for everything cuz I saw some tutorial say it was the secret sauce. Turns out my highlights were just blown out and flat the whole time. Switched to soft light and it was a total game changer for skin tones.

Yeah that is wild to think about, 72 inches seems so low compared to what we're used to now. It always trips me up when old specs don't match modern safety standards.
