inSpent 10 years trimming trees with dull shears before a buddy called me out
And that's exactly the thing people don't get - a dull tool makes you work twice as hard for half the result. Every inch you cut with a sharp blade is cleaner and faster than fighting with something that's been neglected for months. Taking ten minutes to maintain your gear saves you hours of frustration and probably some injuries too.

inFinally got my scan tool payback yesterday
Yeah I read an article once that said the average person spends way more on quick fixes than they think. The writer called it the "cheap stuff tax" because you end up paying twice. That stuck with me.

inHot take: A friend told me my code was 'unreadable' and it made me switch how I write comments.
Nah, comments are overrated. If your code works and you know what it does, a one-liner comment on a complex function is just noise, @reese_patel. Keep it clean and let the code speak for itself, no need to write a whole manual every time you name a variable.

inWent to a body shop in Cleveland and saw them using bondo on a frame rail
Honestly it depends on the situation. If its just a little surface rust or a small dent on a non-critical spot on the frame, some filler can be fine for a daily driver that never sees offroad use. Frames flex way more than body panels though so yeah itll probably crack eventually if its thick. But if its just a thin skim coat on a low stress area its probably not the end of the world.

inBought a $200 power tool on clearance that turned out to be a display model with no motor inside
You checked inside before buying though right? Seems like that's on you for not looking.
