Swapped out my old cap for a new one after my truck kept puking coolant on hot days, and @hannahj49 is spot on about the pressure rating thing. I grabbed a 16 psi cap from the parts store instead of the 13 psi one the manual called for, and it made a world of difference in Texas heat. Had the exact same problem your buddy did on a dozer once, cracked the whole top tank because the cap let go too early. After that I started checking the cap every oil change and carrying a spare in the toolbox. It's such a cheap part but it's the difference between finishing the day or sitting in the shade watching your engine cough up its last drop. Your buddy's boss learned that lesson the hard way for sure.

Man, is it really that big a deal? You're acting like you lost a kidney instead of some cake batter and a forty-five dollar pan.

Proxying games really opens your eyes to how much we buy into the idea of needing the full experience right away. It's the same with meal kit services or streaming subscriptions, you get caught up in the promise of having everything available and end up paying for a bunch of stuff you never use. Trying things out on the cheap first is just a smarter way to live, saves you money and the headache of a closet full of stuff you bought on impulse.

Wait, you're saying a random email about drainage got a faster reply than any of your formal "touching base" messages? That's wild but honestly not surprising because people love answering a clear problem instead of some vague request. Makes you wonder how many replies we miss just because we don't give someone a simple action to take.

$150 for a whole website and he sent a 2005 looking template? Man, that's rough. I get trying to save cash but at that price range you're basically gambling on whether the person even knows what a browser is. Hope you didn't pay him before the final file.
