Stubbing my toe over and over by accident but hoping that it's going to get super strong like when a martial artist trains by punching a tree

One way to make Zelda: BotW more challenging without playing in master mode is to have a young copilot who likes to eat all the meals immediately instead of saving them for emergencies.

There is a meme of freeze framing dramatic moments at a certain point in the song Roundabout and I thought people were just into the band Yes but I now realize this is a reference to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

Ah yes, my old nonstick pan which is no longer non-stick, but is still carcinogenic

Picking up a project I had put on hold. I'm writing instructions for how to build the dance pads I made, and I forgot how much I already wrote down. It's exciting to be further along than I remembered.

Renaming my kitchen timers from "preheat" and "check oven" to "of in the cold food" and "of out hot eat the food".

If I lost access to my main email account it would be bad for lots of reasons anyway, but maybe it's not a good idea to make the potential impact higher. I feel like most of these accounts are not particularly valuable or sensitive though, and maybe that's a good heuristic to decide whether to record the password.

On the other hand, I guess if I ever lost access to my main email account I would have no way of getting into those various minor accounts.

I'm reacting to the hassle of changing hundreds of passwords, thinking if I don't know the passwords then I dont have to worry about changing them if my password vault gets exposed.

I have a bunch of accounts I rarely use or may never use again. I have been considering for some of these, I could set random passwords and not store them anywhere. I can get in if needed with a password reset. Is this a bad idea?

The problem was, the error message lied about the password rules! The mobile app says passwords must be between 8 and 32 characters, but on the web site, it says minimum 8 characters, maximum 20! It includes some additional rules as well.

Ah, the joys of updating passwords. Venmo doesn't like my new password, but I can't tell why. It's not all spaces, I promise!

One annoying thing about setting up a new password manager is having to make up a good password I can remember, since it won't be in password manager.

Some puzzle mechanics have been really frustrating to learn, but once they click, I really enjoy the gradual increase in difficulty, variations on and combinations of rules.

I think I'm getting a better sense of when to linger and when to move on, i.e. whether I am supposed to be able to solve a particular puzzle or whether I need to learn the mechanic somewhere else.

I am getting more into it. The highs and lows of of getting stuck and unstuck continue.

The KVM feature (on a Gigabyte M32Q) requires two different kinds of USB cables to connect to the host computers: one USB 3 A to B and one USB C cable, and it took me several tries to get it working. In the end I don't know why it started connecting, so I'm just crossing my fingers that it plays nice for a while.
