Yeah, the part about a simple trick changing everything is so real. My buddy had this client with super coarse, wiry hair that just would not blend. He was about to tell the guy he couldn't do fades for him anymore. Then another barber watched him for a minute and told him to try using his clippers completely dry, no guard, just the corner of the blade to chip into the weight line. It was a total game changer. Went from a fight to smooth in one pass. Sometimes you just need to see it done one time.

Yeah, that "purple rainbow" look is a trap I fall into all the time too.

But what kind of maintenance needs to double a count from ten years ago? If it's just a bot fixing links, why would the total number of replies change at all? That seems like it's editing the record, not just updating a broken image. Makes you wonder what the actual trigger was.
