Shoutout to the plumber who told me my PVC primer was the wrong color

Man that's a solid tip right there. Nothing worse than failing an inspection over something small like primer color after all that hard work. Glad you got it sorted before it became a real headache.

Took me 3 evenings to restore a single vintage wool blazer sleeve lining

My 70s Pendleton needed re-stitching twice already, so I see your point.

My barber in Austin said my color palette was 'safe' and it stung a bit

Honestly though, maybe "reliable but predictable" isn't an insult. Some clients pay a premium specifically because they don't want surprises or jolts of weird green.

Almost lost my entire watch history on Netflix last night

I used to think it was no big deal losing your watch history because hey you can just remember where you left off, right? But after reading your post about that close call with the factory reset it really hit me how much work that would be to track down everything again. We had the same thing happen with my sister's Netflix account when we were halfway through a long documentary series and it just wiped out all the progress. Now I actually go in and sync everything to my phone or double check the profile settings once a month or so. It's one of those things you don't think about until you almost lose it, like you said. Maybe it's just me being paranoid but I'd rather be safe than sorry now.

That barista should start a side hustle as a password consultant.
