I'm partial to Makita as well. I have their plunge router and really liked the compound sliding miter saw I had a chance to use a while ago. I ended up getting a DeWalt compound sliding miter saw on sale, and it's good as well. I don't have anything against DeWalt, I have a job site table saw from them that's been a workhorse for me.

That said, seems like most people here have had good experiences with Makita, DeWalt, and Bosch in this price range, so doesn't seem like I can go wrong with any of them. I'll probably give in to my bias and get Makita

Thanks! I've definitely heard great things about the Festool sanders, but I just bought a house a few months ago, and I have a ton of other things that I could spend that money on right now. Eventually, I'd like to get a Festool sander, a Domino, and a Sawstop, I just can't justify spending that kind of money right now when I have tools that work. I don't have arthritis in my hands (at least not yet), but it runs in my family and I have started to notice some residual pain after sanding for long periods of time. My current sander cost me around $20, so it was definitely scraping the bottom of the barrel when I bought it. Combine the pain with the fact that it's starting to not turn on consistently, it's definitely time for a new one. I'm fine with an incremental upgrade until I stop hemorrhaging money on this house and can justify dropping some cash on a Festool.

Any thoughts on Dewalt vs Makita or Bosch? The ones I've seen are all in the $60-120 range. Most of the reviews I've seen are on Reddit, and all the subs are still private

Interesting idea, thanks!

I watched about 30 seconds of this guy for a Rust twitch drop before muting it. How can anyone stand him?

Damn, timely article. I've been at this job for a year and some change, and while it was a massive improvement from my last job in terms of the hygiene factors the author described, it's not motivating at all. I've been in a rut lately, and keep feeling like I shouldn't be as apathetic towards work as I have been lately.

Not having money causes unhappiness, but a higher paying job won't make you happy

It's really pathetic how some people wrap their entire identity in moderating a subreddit and act like they should be treated like a hero for doing it. "I do this for free and it's a lot of work!!"

Then don't do it. Pretty damn simple. I've moderated decent sized forums before, and yes, it can be a lot, but literally no one asked you to do it. If it's that taxing on your time, just stop doing it and go partake in the activities of the community you're moderating.

I never understood shadow banning. Just IP ban if you really don't want that user coming back
