A sign of aging I didn’t anticipate: understanding the purpose of vests.
I always thought it was dumb to have a sweater with no arms.
Now I get it. Sometimes you just need that little extra and a sweater is too much.

I’ve started emailing customer support for parts to repair items I’ve purchased and so far 9/10 times they’ll sell or send me a replacement. Even if it’s not listed on their site.
Such a great way to extend product life.

I’ve always struggled to read fantasy books. My eyes just glaze over at all the world building and exposition.

I love the ritual of friends & family wanting to see pics + vids after a trip but it inevitably turns into a 2 hour unprepared slop fest that everyone is bored at lol.
I’m going to combat that this time by cutting together a 10-12 minute highlight reel video.

My tripod finally broke after ~15 years.
Any recommendations? Mostly for video, but I’d want it to be somewhat portable. Ideally can be eye-level with me when standing (192cm). Arca-Swiss compatible head a plus.

Yeah I know short form content is rotting our brains and attention spans but it’s also been the most impactful marketing tool for TV and Movies for me.
I’ve discovered more new TV and Movies via YT Shorts than any other way.

Is there a known issue with logging in via bsky? Every time I try I get “login session expired” despite it having been maybe 1-2s.

I love Barebells but this happens with _every_ bar. The insides become the outsides and it makes it much harder to eat.

Jon Gaines (Gainsec), the offensive security researcher who was featured in my recent video, lost employment today.
Jon discovered the vast majority of the vulnerabilities with Flock Safety (among many other things) on his own time, which I believe will ultimately result in Americans being safer. 🧵

Views like these do restore the campervan vibes a little bit. Still vacationed-out and looking forward to getting home, though.
