Its the scoring sheets that get me. Nobody ever talks about the fact that those things were built for insurance and lawyers, not for you and your wrist. So the doc isnt lying about following rules, but the rules themselves came from somewhere, and that somewhere had nothing to do with your ladder. Thats the part people miss when they call it a conspiracy.

Noticed the same thing with dried herbs losing punch after a few months, so it makes sense beans would shed weight too. Stuff just gives up its moisture to the air over time, no matter where you keep it.

There was a study a few years back from a software group that looked at deploy timing and failure rates, and Friday afternoon releases had way more problems that dragged into the weekend. The part that stuck with me was that the cost was not just the bug itself, it was the hours lost before anyone noticed. Your Austin story is exactly that. A broken checkout at 7am on a Saturday is the worst case, because that is when people actually shop. The fact that he stayed quiet tells you he knew he was wrong. Some bosses would rather swallow it than admit they ignored you back in March. I would keep a short note of that $800 somewhere, not to throw it in his face, just so the next time he waves off your concern you have something concrete to point at.
