Which Life Pro Tip disappointed you?
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?

I don't think I've ever seen a good recommend in those "What sub-$100 purchase changed your life?" threads. No, I don't need a garlic smasher or a water pick.
With the right deal a Snowcaster can go sub-100 dollars and is a life changer for sure. Granted, you need snow and only a certain amount - but when that happens this guy is fucking amazing.
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.
Where I live, I've had to shovel snow precisely once in the past four years. Last year, we had almost none at all.
