inDropped $230 on a Nemo Tensor pad last spring and it turned a 22 degree night in the Bighorns into the best sleep I've had outside
22 degrees is cold but its not like you were sleeping on ice or anything. A $230 pad for one good night seems like a lot when a decent foam pad and a good bag would do the same job for half that. People drop big money on gear and then swear its magic after one trip, thats just how it goes. Give it a full season of real cold before calling it a game changer.

inA guy at the shop told me Terraforming Mars needs the draft or it's broken, and after 40 plays I think he's dead wrong
Wait, are you me from the future? Because I had almost the exact same thing happen, except my guy was named Rick and it was a Wednesday. I stuck with the draft for a whole year thinking I was just bad at it, and my win rate tanked because I kept grabbing cards to block other people instead of cards that actually helped my board. Once I went back to draw four keep what you want, games got shorter and I actually had fun building my engine again instead of playing defense the whole time. These days our group just asks before setup, and if someone wants to draft, we let them find three other people who feel the same way.

I finally switched from air blast to flood coolant on the 4140 job and cut my cycle by 90 seconds
4140 is a bear when it comes to heat, and air blast just can't pull enough of it away from the cutting zone. Once that insert gets hot it softens up and rubs instead of cutting, which is why you were losing an edge every 4 parts. Flood coolant keeps the insert cool and also washes the chips out so they aren't getting recut and tearing up your edge. The 90 second drop makes sense too because you can push the speed and feed harder when the tool isn't fighting heat the whole time. What kind of coolant are you running, straight oil or a mix?
