bro it's 100 degrees in phoenix you're gonna have wet concrete regardless, not really some groundbreaking hack lol

@williams90 depends how bad it is, swapping it still wastes a day of your life.

Wait... you burned the seasoning off your skillet THREE times? That's almost impressive honestly, I thought I was the only one who could mess up a hunk of iron that badly. My first week with a cast iron I set off the fire alarm so many times my roommate thought I was trying to cook meth or something @hugo_nelson.

Alright hold up let's slow down here. Everybody keeps saying "oh the cheap stuff is just as good" but how many times have you bought store brand cereal and it was basically cardboard? I grabbed some generic granola bars once and they crumbled into dust in the bag before I even opened them. And those gas station headphones yeah they might last longer than Beats but they sound like a tin can full of bees. I think we just get lucky sometimes and then act like it's a whole new rule of life.

That bit about "a reliable cheap cut is exactly what they want" is probably true for a lot of people. I've seen plenty of folks who just want it neat and fast without any fuss. @the_morgan I get your point about volume adding up, but it's a grind, you know? Running at $15 all day means you're basically a machine, not a stylist. In my experience, you end up working twice as hard for the same money, and your hands and back start to feel it after a couple years. You might take home more cash short term, but that model usually burns people out hard.
