does stopped actually matter or is it forum lore at this point
does stopped actually matter or is it forum lore at this point. Searched first, found three threads that contradict each other, hence the post. Lost money to a shop that had nothing verifiable on file anywhere. Posting so that somebody searching that name finds this. Where a supplier has no independent testing on…
Most of what gets posted here is procedural rather than dramatic: a step skipped, a document not requested, a temperature not considered, a pace chosen out of impatience.
Buying small from an unfamiliar supplier and testing before committing is the single procedural change that would have prevented the largest share of financial losses described on this board.
nobody gets judged here, that is the entire premise
Nothing here is medical advice, and the honest version of most of these posts is that they describe consequences rather than causes.
Not convinced that was avoidable. Some of this is genuinely bad luck and treating everything as a lesson is its own trap.
That was a hold rather than a loss, and it resolved. Updating rather than deleting.
Gently disagree with the self-blame. What you describe is a procedural gap, and the procedure was not written down anywhere for you to follow.
What would you do differently, specifically?
How long did it take you to notice?
writing it down is the useful part, not the outcome
