Man... but is faster actually better for the craft?

That's so cool when a personal thing crosses over like that. I mean my succulents have started like ten conversations at the bar with total strangers. It's wild how a simple shared interest can totally break the ice. Felt awesome to give a few cuttings to a regular who was having a rough week too. Makes the whole hobby feel way bigger than just watering plants.

My dad's cancer drugs ran about $10,000 a month out of pocket. Seeing that mess, I totally get your point about not waiting for a fair system. We need to push the science forward now, even if it starts out for the rich few. The goal has to be getting it to everyone else as fast as possible.

Blindly trusting probes" is exactly it. That manual check adds a layer of human caution the probe just doesn't have.

What did the waste company say about recycling options for the old carpet? I ran into this on a retail job and switched to carpet tiles with high recycled content. The maker had a free take-back program that processed the old material into new products. It totally avoided those surprise fees at the end.
