Yeah, @the_cameron, I hear you on Inogen for the big stuff. I was in a real bind last year with a similar problem, and honestly, just getting a second quote made a huge difference. It wasn't even about going with the cheaper option, but it helped me understand what the actual work should cost and what steps were involved. That let me talk to the first company more clearly about what I needed. Sometimes just having that extra info gives you a bit of control back in a tough spot.

It's the same with my smart thermostat. It decided I like the house at 62 degrees in July. We're all just training these things with our weird habits.

Totally used to trust that blue dot without question. One wrong turn into a dead end that my phone swore was a through street fixed that. Now I always glance up at the actual street signs, just in case.

I watched a 60 second speed paint of a landscape last week. The artist skipped all the color mixing and underpainting that actually takes hours to learn. Calling it a tool feels generous when it's mostly just a cool visual effect.

Honestly, I used to think a 95-degree day in Alabama was bad. That Phoenix story with the truck being late would have changed my mind real quick.
