Today was a tough day. I replaced the sink, the whole sink unit with the basin in the kitchen. Old one out to the bulk trash, new one in. What a filthy job.

But I noticed while doing it that the industry really uses all kinds of different formats for the connections. An inlet pipe is a few millimeters bigger than the old one, screw fittings are all different sizes and lengths... and they expect us IT folks to deliver standards and universal compatibility. But in the real world they haven't managed to standardize the connections for decades and still produce slop.
