Serious question, I watched a 2 hour documentary on the moon landing and then a 20 minute debunking video. The short one was way more convincing.

Showerthought: My big 'Moon landing hoax' flowchart took me three months to finish

I got into a dumb online fight about the Apollo missions and decided to make a simple chart showing the main hoax claims and the counter evidence. Figured it would take a weekend. I spent the first month just reading old NASA tech manuals from the 60s to understand the basic engineering, which was a rabbit hole itself. Then another month trying to find clear, simple ways to explain things like the crosshairs on photos or the lack of stars. The last month was me redoing the whole layout because it looked like a mess. I finally posted it yesterday and it felt like a huge weight was off my shoulders. Has anyone else sunk way more time into a 'simple' debunking project than they planned?

Pro tip: I found a weird USB drive in the parking lot at my local library last Tuesday.

I almost plugged it into my laptop to see what was on it, but remembered a story from a security podcast about 'juice jacking' and bait drives. I left it at the front desk instead. What's the best way you've found to remind yourself not to trust random hardware?

Unpopular opinion: I think hiding your real salary from coworkers only helps the bosses

Last month at our office in Denver, a new hire found out I make 15k more than him for the same job. We both got mad, but at the company, not each other. Now we're quietly looking for new jobs together. How do you even start that talk without feeling weird?

Appreciation post: my entire moving truck decided to take a nap in a client's driveway yesterday

The hydraulic lift on my 26-foot box truck just gave up halfway through unloading a piano in Phoenix, leaving the whole rig tilted at a 15-degree angle. We had to call a tow company with a heavy-duty winch to pull it back onto level ground, which took about 3 hours and cost me $850. Has anyone else had a piece of equipment just completely quit at the absolute worst possible moment, and what did you do to get things moving again?

I was sure our club would hate 'Piranesi' but it sparked our best talk in months

I gave a client a 20% glycolic acid peel after she said her skin was 'tough' and it was a huge mistake

She came in for a facial and kept insisting her skin could handle anything, so I went against my gut and used a stronger peel than I normally would. Her face was bright red and stinging for over an hour after, and she called me the next day saying it was still burning. I learned that even when a client pushes for something, you have to stick to your professional judgment and start slow, no matter what they say. It took her skin a full week to calm down. Has anyone else had a client pressure them into a treatment that went wrong?

I saw a woman's coat get caught in a revolving door at the Macy's in Chicago.

It ripped the lining out completely, but the outer shell was fine. Has anyone designed a coat with a quick-release lining for exactly this kind of thing?
