Heard a homeowner in Denver tell his buddy that tempered glass is just a scam to charge more

My guy told me the same thing last year. Said the markup is insane and regular windows with good shutters do the same job for half the price. Felt like a real sucker after getting three quotes.

Honestly, my approach to planning the West Coast Trail used to be a 50-page printed binder, now it's a single note on my phone.

Right? Like using a cannon to kill a fly.

A friend in Denver called my password system 'lazy' and they were right

Wasn't it fine to just use a few passwords for everything? I mean, that's what I did for years. I'd have one for social media, one for email, and one for banks, and I thought that was safe enough. Then I read about how if one site gets hacked, they try that same login on all the other big sites. It really only takes one leak to mess up a bunch of your accounts. That's what finally got me to use a password manager and make a different long password for every single thing.

My new smartwatch kept telling me to stand up, and I finally listened after a 3-hour work block.

Yeah, that "blinking light gets through" thing is spot on, @elliotr98. I started setting a timer on my phone for every hour just to take a few big gulps. It felt dumb, but after a week I stopped getting those afternoon headaches. Our brains are just bad at noticing slow changes.

I was wiring a panel in a new build and my old boss called me out on my crimp technique.

Honestly, what if he's just hiding in the bathroom to avoid actually working? I mean, that's my go-to move sometimes.
