Seems that when I’m fixing anything these days I have to consciously remind myself there is an an appropriate tool and methodology, rather than just jumping in with my years of ingrained “well I can’t afford anything more than what I already have so it’ll have to do” approach.
This is what's right with The Industry®

reminds me of the time i had to "true" a wheel with a very large branch.
Maybe he can branch out into a new niche, or should we just leaf that alone?
just wait until @rideit gets here!
please leave me alone.
Quit being so nosy.
So you wood like us to leaf you alone...
Are you new here?
Asking that is almost like an invitation to pile on.
Now I own Abbey tools instead of Abby Normal
anyone else notice that PB has been read only for roughly a day, after an extended downtime?
They’ve had some kind of database issue. It was a banner at the top of the site a day or so ago.
I still see it:i did see that when it first came back up. but that mention has since been removed.
I empathize with their IT team, not a great way of starting your holidays
Yup, that's the first thing I thought when I saw the banner.
I had a 'routine' windows auto update, that you can't turn off, lock me out of our network access and it took our IT like 3 days to resolve it...that did not help me resolve my workload, that's for sure.
That's why I love German companies and their change freeze periods. You don't do important stuff from early December until mid January. Between year end financial closures and people taking extended vacation time around the holidays there's simply too much to lose if something goes down.
In fact, my current employer encourages most of their 81k+ worldwide workforce to take paid time off from December 20 until January 2 this year. Suffice to say our 'murikan colleagues didn't quite understand this policy last year when they were invited to join us in the season's sabbatical.
