500 in five days is nuts, your body will collect that debt every time. Try a wrist brace at night and ice it, that's what got me through my worst weeks.

Bought a bread maker, a juicer, and a set of those cubes, and all three taught me the same lesson about stuff that promises to fix something. The gadgets are never the problem, it's the packing that's the problem, and ziplocks already solved it.

Nine years of pushing through with a fixed cutter and I figured a dull blade just meant slower going, not worse seams. Ran a job in Tulsa last month where the backing fought me the whole way, and swapping to a rotary slitter made the cut track so much straighter on the same material. My seams were ragged for months before that and I blamed the tape, not the blade. Guess I was wrong about dull blades being no big deal.
