For me it was “buy high quality pillow” because you sleep for one thrid of a day etc. I needed a new pillow anyway so I came to the store and bought the best they had. And it was … ok. Like it’s a fine pillow but my sleeping haven’t improved really, it’s basically the same. So I was disapointed :(

So, which life pro tip disappointed you?

    You would have to live somewhere where it snowed a lot to be worth getting a special machine to clear it. Otherwise I just use a shovel or knowing me I just ignore it until it melted on its own.

    What I need is a leaf blower, except I need a special leaf blower that dries all the wet leaves out first so it will actually work and no one seems to have invented one. They all seem to be designed for some weird market where leaves fall down off trees and then it occasionally stops raining for 2 minutes in a row. I don’t believe such a mythical place exists.

    • I never got the point of leaf blowers. If your garden is small enough to make it worthwile, a rake is far less messier and therefore quicker.

      If you garden is too large, it is best to let the leaves cover things for winter and decompose for some fertilization.

        Leaf Blowers are fantastic at cleaning a Patio, or a Garage / Workshop.

        Sawdust everywhere? Not in 30 seconds. Blow all that shit out the garage door. Just wear a respirator, and be smart about how you blow it. If you blow it into a wall - it’s gonna go straight up.
