Lol weeks tweaking feeds before checking the post? That's wild to me. I get that updates can mess stuff up but most shops I know would look at the processor way sooner. Makes me wonder if there was more going on with their setup than just one default change. Sounds like a pretty big oversight.

Hold up, 20 years? That's insane. Nothing lasts that long anymore. My stuff breaks if I look at it wrong after like two years. Makes you miss when things were built to actually survive. No wonder you're upset, that's a real loss.

That part about the secret swimming hole is so real. My friend had a similar find up there last fall, but his was a tiny beach with perfectly smooth, flat stones instead of a swimming hole. He was convinced he'd found some ancient glacier spot or something. We spent a whole afternoon just skipping rocks and watching the light change over the water. It's crazy how a place like that can feel like it's just yours, even for a little while.
