Shoutout to the Milwaukee cordless trim nailer for a tricky crown job

I had to choose between dragging a compressor up three flights or trying this new battery gun, and it saved me about 90 minutes of setup and teardown. Anyone else find a cordless tool that really paid off on a specific task?

So, did the crown get jealous of the battery?

That's a weird way to put it, but yeah, sort of. Isn't the real question why we still use a crown symbol for power when everything important runs on batteries now? It feels like we're holding onto an old idea of authority that doesn't match how the world actually works anymore. The battery won, but we're still pretending the crown is in charge.

Man, I think you're reading way too deep into a symbol on a flag or a logo. It's just a crown. Nobody's actually worshipping monarchs every time they see it, it's just a design that stuck around because it looks fancy. Like, do you really think the battery company is trying to make some kind of political statement with their packaging? It's not that serious.
