Ha, that's funny you say that because I actually had the exact opposite experience with my buddy's crew last summer. We were doing a big deck build and one guy kept yelling "wait wait wait" over the radio every five seconds so nobody could hear the actual important calls lol. Kinda made me appreciate the chaos of hand signals more just because it forces you to actually look at each other instead of zoning out.

yo @dakota_fox isn't it wild how frozen veggies get a bad rap? i used to be the same way, i thought they'd turn to mush or water down everything. but honestly this chili changed my mind too, they soak up the seasonings and keep their texture way better than i expected. my go-to stretch meal is actually a big pot of lentil soup with whatever canned veggies i have, always makes at least 5 servings for under $10.

Isn't it funny how we keep proving the simple stuff just works better?

lol I feel your pain on this one. I did the exact same thing my first year container gardening and ended up with bricks instead of soil. It's so frustrating when you're trying to save a few bucks and it just backfires completely. I've had pretty good luck with the Miracle-Gro Performance Organics mix when it's on sale, though honestly even the store brand container mixes work alright if you add some perlite. Just gotta watch out for anything labeled "garden soil" or "raised bed mix" - that stuff is basically a scam if you're using pots lmao.

Wait, did you wire the battery pack with a fuse? Computer fans can pull more amperage than you think and could overheat without one.
