Check your old steam traps and cooling loops first. In my experience, those are huge hidden water wasters. We found a cracked seal on a condenser line that was just letting water run to drain 24/7. Fixed it for a few hundred bucks and saved thousands. Sometimes the biggest savings come from fixing the simple, boring stuff nobody looks at anymore. Reusing non contact cooling water for things like floor wash down is another easy win.

What?! You're using more power now?

Used to assume our water use was set, but your results show tracking actually works.

That "one-way ticket to chronic pain" line is so true. Pain is literally your body's alarm system saying something is wrong, and aspirin just mutes the alarm while the house keeps burning down. If you don't listen to that signal and change what you're doing, your body will just find worse ways to adapt, like tightening all your muscles permanently. You end up training your hands into a cramped position for good, and then even simple stuff hurts. It's not just about comfort, it's about keeping your ability to do the work at all.
