Man, photos are key. People need to see the crack or the lean for themselves. A picture of that split pear would convince anyone.

Figured out my seam gaps after a job in Springfield

Wait, is it the knee kicker angle or the power stretcher? I've always been told the knee kicker is just for positioning and you get the real tension from the power stretcher. Maybe your helper was right for that specific carpet, but I've seen guys get perfect seams with a slight angle on the kicker if the stretcher is set up right.

Showerthought: My cousin's 'just book the first flight' rule saved me $300

Actually, clearing cookies doesn't really work anymore for flight prices. Most big sites use way more than just cookies to track you now, like your account login or even your IP address. The private browser trick is pretty much a myth at this point. You might see a different price once, but it's more about timing and demand than your browser history.

Can we talk about the Procore update that broke our whole schedule last Thursday?

Wait, auto-changed ALL your task dependencies? That's a total nightmare. Tbh, what @tylerw72 said about legal stuff is scary, because a half day in Phoenix is one thing, but a full delay on a big job could be a real mess. I'd be looking at my contract right now.
