inI had a client tell me my deep dives were 'too thorough' and it forced me to rethink my whole approach.
But isn't proving you actually read it part of showing you value the work?

inUnpopular opinion: 2FA via SMS is better than nothing for most people
@gracethomas is right about the SMS being vulnerable, but I gotta push back a little on the "authenticator apps are annoying" part (I mean, they can be, sure). The real win is using a hardware key like a YubiKey, because even if you lose your phone, that physical key is still separate. Losing a phone is a pain, but getting locked out of everything while hackers drain your accounts is way worse, so having a backup hardware key (like a spare one in a safe) solves both problems.

inPulled up two old government reports from 2012 and 2023 on the same UFO case
Is it just me or does that whole "sensor artifact" thing feel like a cop out? I had a similar thing happen with a MUFON report from back in 2015 where the original analysis mentioned "unexplained energy signatures" and then a 2020 declassified version just waved it off as "instrument noise." Like, you can't seriously tell me all that weird data just disappeared between reports.

inA barista at a local shop told me my pour-over technique was ruining the bloom
Dude yeah I used to think people were just making coffee sound harder than it needed to be. But honestly trying that slow pour thing changed my mind too, it actually tastes way less bitter.

inHad a stretch of 4 perfect service calls in a row last Thursday
Makes you wonder if "perfect" just means you got lucky with the easy ones that day.
