My buddy's plumbing question got one like and then radio silence, kinda brutal.

Last year, a survey showed less than 10% of freelance contracts offered any health coverage. That's crazy because without it, you're one accident away from huge debt. I know a guy who took a contract without benefits and ended up paying $500 a month for his own plan. Pushing during hiring talks is key, but even then, most companies just say no. It feels like they're trying to cut corners everywhere. Honestly, hearing about contracts with insurance is like finding a unicorn.

How many drafts do you think I've never sent?

My cousin used dish soap instead of cooking oil once. That was a mess, but nobody got hurt. Kitchen mistakes are mostly just annoying. We all mess up small things like that. Calling it a 'great mix-up' seems over the top. Just clean up and move on.

Wondering if it's the paint or just worse road salt mixes now. My buddy's truck from the same year you mentioned got hit hard too, but his work van from last year is fine. Maybe they changed the recipe for the crap they dump on the roads instead.
