inVent: My password system was a joke until I saw my own data on a paste site
Ugh same thing happened with my Neopets login! That sinking feeling is the worst.

inI thought my old way of checking the cutterhead was good enough until a job in Mobile Bay.
That dial indicator grid sounds like a lot of work for what you get. I tried logging numbers on a chart and it just never stuck with the crew. We switched to taking a bright paint pen and marking the low spots the laser finds right on the cutterhead itself. Seeing that big orange circle in the dip every day during pre-checks is a way better reminder than a sheet of paper in the office. It makes the wear pattern something you can't ignore.

inSwitched from a basic bone folder to a Teflon one and my paper creases are way cleaner
I mean, I've been using the back of a plastic spoon for scoring in a pinch. Works weirdly well on book board, idk.

inShowerthought: Everyone is designing for Instagram photos, not for how clothes actually move.
I mean, the Met Gala looks from last year were basically unwearable art projects, and nobody actually expects to move in those. Maybe it's just me, but a lot of runway stuff is meant to be a photo first and a garment second. I've seen some of those pieces up close and the construction is often flimsy on purpose for the look. It's annoying when a basic dress falls apart, but some designers are really just selling an image, not clothes you can live in.
