I burned through four sheets of oak ply on a bookshelf before I finally broke down and got a Makita, and the first cut was so clean I just stood there staring at it. My old straightedge guide is hanging on the wall now collecting sawdust and I don't feel bad about it one bit.

My buddy caught some brand account posting a fake giveaway and deleting it 20 min later when people started asking questions. He screenshots everything now and got them to actually send the prize just by having the receipts. Cost him nothing but the free version does the trick.

Dropped $1,500 on a "outdoor lifestyle" guy in Denver with 80k followers and got 9 clicks and one refund request from a bot account. The giveaway was that all his comments came in within the same two minute window every post, which no real audience does. Now I ask for a screen share of their actual dashboard before I pay anything, because follower count is the easiest thing in the world to fake.
