Okay, I'm gonna disagree with the 'always use a speed square for layout' crowd

I was framing a shed roof in my buddy's backyard, and my speed square slipped off the rafter while marking the birdsmouth. I just grabbed a framing square instead, and the cut was way more accurate. Anyone else ditch the speed square for certain cuts?

Serious question, why does every 'beginner friendly' rock ID chart use colors that look nothing like the rocks I actually find?

Ugh that reminds me of when I found this gorgeous piece of quartzite in a creek bed, all glittery and pink. Took it home and washed it, and it just turned into this plain, dull gray lump. Felt so cheated, like it catfished me lol. Left it in my driveway as a reminder not to trust first impressions.
