Give it another 10 years, the technology is almost here this time.

Wow, that really puts things in perspective, doesn't it?

Oh man, the soap change really hits home. I swear (and this is so embarrassing) the first time I went to a gym that changed soap, I literally brought my own for three months because I felt so betrayed by the new smell. But the mural thing is worse - like, who thinks gray walls are more inspiring than a giant painting of a dude lifting a car? I get so attached to little things like that, it's almost pathetic. I mean, I once stopped going to a deli because they changed the font on their menu board, so I'm clearly not a flexible person when it comes to this stuff. You're totally right that it becomes a completely different place, like they just erased all the memories with some cheap paint and weird machines.

Jake, I heard a business coach say gut feelings are just patterns your brain already noticed.

overcomplicating edge profiles" is exactly what I was doing too. I read somewhere that a lot of those fancy router bits are just for show, and it really clicked for me. I bought a set of roundover bits and barely used half of them. Now my go-to is a simple flush trim bit, it handles all my pattern work and even some edge cleanup on plywood. That cheap chamfer bit sounds like a great call for cabinets, might have to grab one for my next project.
