Rant: I stopped sealing my foam armor with glue and switched to plasti dip, but now I'm second guessing it

Switched from 123456 to a passphrase after my bank flagged a login from Ukraine

Ha, okay but passphrases get keylogged too, same as anything.

I spent 9 days in Budapest on $310 and the hostel kitchen was the worst part

Ha, is waiting 40 minutes to boil water really a crisis worth writing about? Just eat the gas station sandwich and move on with your trip.

Hot take: the worst week of my career taught me more than the good ones

Those close calls at 90 feet with no comms had to change how you dive forever, right? Betting you're way more vocal about backup signals now than any classroom ever made you.

Picked up a $6 Streamlight Stylus Pro at a pawn shop and somehow it kicked my $60 light out of my pocket

The thing nobody talks about is how a cheap light makes you actually use it instead of babying it. My $80 light sat in the drawer because I was scared to scratch it or lose it, but the $5 beater gets shoved in a pocket with keys and change and never complains. Turns out the best light is the one you're not afraid to carry, you know?

Sounds like that driver had more faith in you than my bank has in me.
