Going 4 clicks coarser is such a simple fix but almost nobody tries it because we all get stubborn about our grind settings. The water flows through faster and stops pulling out all that bitter stuff, so the sweet notes actually show up. Small tweaks like that beat buying a whole new setup every time.

The Oppenheimer print was like 11 miles of film too, I read that somewhere. Once you picture a guy physically hauling reels that size into a booth, your used Epson starts looking pretty smart. The high end just turns into a totally different hobby at that point, like comparing a go kart to a rocket.

Honestly I pressure washed my deck so hard last year I carved a little trench into one of the boards and just called it a "water feature." Now I'm staring at Bob's 20 year old cedar like it's a museum exhibit while my deck looks like it went through a car wash with a sandblaster attachment. Ngl I think we've all been tricked into thinking brute force equals clean. Maybe I'll give my pressure washer a time out and see if my fence forgives me.
