Swore by my magnesium float for years until a job in Spokane last month

Wait, you're a "die-hard metal trowel guy" who switched to plastic? That's like hearing a chef say they ditched their favorite knife for a butter knife. I can't wrap my head around it, honestly. Metal trowels just have that weight and flex that feels right in your hand, you know? But then again, stucco is a whole different beast. Maybe plastic is the secret weapon for that stuff, I don't know.

Finally went on a date after 8 months and spilled coffee on her jacket in the first 5 minutes

I'd be more mad at myself than if the waiter did it. At least then you'd have a story to tell and maybe a free drink. Now you're just sitting there looking like a clumsy mess for no reason.

Serious question - has anyone had a hard drive just die without warning?

Password manager vs memory: my wakeup call after a work incident

Bitwarden is fine for simple stuff but I wouldn't trust any online service with my most important logins. One data breach and all your eggs are in one basket. I use a notebook for the really sensitive accounts and only put casual stuff in a manager.

my friend literally stood on a chair holding her laptop up like the Statue of Liberty trying to get a signal in a hotel lobby.
