As everyone knows, it's that time of the year again that we must prep our rock storages for winter.

I emptied the pallet entirely, cleaned out the leaves and reinforced the bottom a bit. I added some treated lumber blocks under it to lift it off the ground and I tensioned a threaded rod to span through the box to prevent the sides from bulging out. Then I added a permanent tarp to prevent leaves from getting in anymore and stop the pallet from rotting further. It's also easy to roll to the side when I want to look at my collection. The buckets contain all the smaller stones I have.

80€ for Makita and 40€ for no-name brand. They've been tested and the 5Ah rating is accurate. What's remains to be seen is how these last long term.

Just because I read the instructions doesn't mean I need to follow them.

I've been self-employed for 3 years now and have been getting by with a shitty floor light. Now I finally decided that it was time to commit and invest those 45 euros on a proper one.

This is so much better than the one I had before. I can actually see what I'm doing here without needing to constantly adjust the light and move it to a better position. Why did I torture myself these 3 years with it. Same deal with the wall sander there. Should've bought it the first time I got a major drywall job. I never learn.

It seems that whenever lying is being discussed people are quick to come up with justifications for why it's okay in certain situations, the classic one being that you were served food that you didn't like but when asked said that you did.

This seems to assume that the other people in fact would have preferred the lie over the truth. So I ask: when do you yourself prefer the lie?

The eagle sounds like a disappointed gull.

Did my best to try and make sure it actually lasts instead of just looking good on the surface for the first few years.
