inStick with MC cable or go back to EMT for basements?
Man I heard somewhere that some inspectors are starting to push back on MC in basements because of the whole bonding situation with the jacket. Idk maybe it's just me but I think EMT looks way more professional even if it takes longer, especially if the GC is already complaining. I mean if you're doing apartments with exposed ceilings, that clean look might save you headaches later.

inRan into a digital painter at a gallery in Portland who said AI art is 'soulless pixels'
You know, I've been around long enough to remember when people said the same thing about digital photography versus film. Back in '99 I had a guy at a camera club tell me my digital shots were just "computer noise with no darkroom soul." It seems like every new tool gets that reaction for a while. The way I see it, the soul is in the person using the tool, not the tool itself. A paintbrush doesn't have feelings either, but nobody calls a Van Gogh "soulless bristles." I think some folks just get defensive when their way of doing things isn't the only way anymore.
