Rant: I spent $400 on a 'must-have' project management tool that my team never used

Ugh, that onboarding process is the real killer. Companies should focus way more on making the switch easy than on flashy sales demos.

Remember when you could actually get a full service manual from the manufacturer for free?

Ugh, it's the worst! I swear they even do it with software now. Tried to find an old manual for a drawing tablet driver... the company's own support page just loops you to a "contact us" form. Had to dig through internet archive snapshots from 2012 to get the right file. They don't want you to fix anything yourself anymore.

Thinking about the old sand reclamation methods

Nah, I never got the clean hands thing. It was always gritty for hours after, like the sand was glued on. Felt like I was just moving the mess from the box to my skin. Efficient maybe, but not exactly clean.

Had to patch a 3/8 inch crack in a 50 year old boiler shell last week

Sounds like your uncle knew his stuff. My version of cold stitching was using a whole tube of JB Weld on a cracked lawnmower block. It held until the vibration shook it loose and shot a piece of plastic into my shin. So yeah, letting things flex is probably smarter than my brute force and hope method.
