Thanks for the advice. I think the underlying problem is my incentive is for people to disbelieve me the first time I tell them something. I don't really care if they believe me since after I am proven right I get more to fix the problem. [e.g. The last time, I got ~$6k] :/ So I'm not really motivated to fix it, y'know? I probably should fix it since I'd be a better person for it but my financial incentive isn't aligned with fixing it.
