inMy dad's old password advice finally clicked after a chat with a coworker
Three years ago I changed all my passwords after that big breach at the credit reporting agency, and I used the same trick of picking bird names. My wife thought I was being paranoid, but now she has her own list of random bird combos. @jakel36, you're onto something because it seems like everyone I know is either using the same two or three passwords or writing them on sticky notes. It's funny how we trust a lock on our front door more than the one that guards our money.

inMy wax warmer face-off with an actual frying pan ended how you'd guess
Those three back to back sound rough, and the lightning bolt thing actually made me wince. I've done my own share of dumb swaps when the clock was ticking and every single time it just makes the day longer and harder. The worst part is you know better, but panic takes over and suddenly you're using a spatula as a mixing stick. At least you had a spare and got her fixed up right away, that's the main thing. The pan has earned its retirement for grilled cheese, that's for sure.

inFinally nailed the seam placement on a tricky linen weave
@riveradams I get why your buddy glued it down, that mill makes some stiff stuff for sure. But I found flipping the seam so it runs with the window light changes the whole game, the backing barely moves when it's not fighting the sun. If you glue the edges you're just trapping the ripple in, it'll pop somewhere else in six months. I've had two jobs hold flat this way now, even on that 12 foot roll. The key is you gotta let the carpet relax overnight before you stretch it, that Ohio weave takes forever to settle.
