Did the same thing with my credit card round-ups going straight to a savings bucket. The trick is you never see that spare change so you don't miss it. It builds up way faster than you'd guess, especially with how many small purchases you make in a week. I started it just to test it out and now it's my main way to save for random weekend trips. Makes saving feel automatic instead of something I have to force myself to do.

Yikes, that's the stuff of nightmares. Honestly, when a guard fails like that, I'd be looking at the whole machine, not just the brand of wheel. A cast guard shouldn't just shear. That points to metal fatigue or a flaw you can't see. For daily heavy work, you might be better off replacing the whole grinder with something industrial, like from Baldor or even a used Dayton. Just slapping a new wheel on a shaky frame is asking for trouble.

A checklist is a good start, but you need a dedicated spot for each color. Try putting all your reds in one bin so you can see them at a glance before you grab a new tube. It forces you to check what's already open.

My dad's old flip phone from 2003 still holds a charge somehow. It's just a weird piece of plastic that refuses to die. Makes you wonder what they put in the glue back then.

That little plastic case of SIMs was such a pain, lol.
