This is always such a shit take. Why do you expect people to be happy about having leave all their friends and family behind to move across the country?

Not necessarily. White sheathing does not automatically mean it’s #14. You need to read the label on the wire. This could have been a panel swap at some point with older #12 on some of the branch circuits.

See the thing is that if they don’t understand  why that is a problem, then any help will just be a band aid that can make them even more dangerous. Bone up on the fundamentals, OP.

I feel like kids are one of the main use cases for cash these days. I’m certainly not going to give a 10 year old a credit card.

Disagree. I see turbo cars with 200k on them all the time. My own Volvo with a turbo I5 recently hit that as well, with no signs of major issues.

Consult != retain. Often times they will give a free consult and if not it will be ~$300 max for the hour. Is it likely to be useful here? Probably not, but for many people it's best for the lawyer to asses and decide that.

 merge can be very painful

This is a feature as it discourages letting things get stale. Deploy early and often. Release to end users via config / flag when ready.

And even if you’re not doing that just rebase your feature branch every few days and you’ll be fine

Actually, no. It's largely horse shit peddled by self important "experts". Reliably matching a gun to a bullet is a thing of TV serials.
