    Really ?

    That was in response to: BMW Rider said: The reality of choosing not to wear a helmet and crashing is that there is unlikely to be any burden at all on the health care system. Your comment appears to refer to the conversation in general which goes a loooong ways back with mixing of both types...

    PSA Change your passwords. Use secondary authentication.

    People are trying to be safer online only to have personal info stolen through an online security service. Not the typical source of where you expect to get info stolen. While not impossible you'd expect they'd be a tougher business to hack being that internet security is what they do.

    PSA Change your passwords. Use secondary authentication.

    Tried my 2 emails using the service Have I Been Pwned. My main email came back negative. The other had 2 "Data Breaches" from 2018. I have changed my passwords a few times since 2018. Found this: "A hacker has managed to phish Troy Hunt, the creator of HaveIBeenPwned.com, tricking the...

    PSA Change your passwords. Use secondary authentication.

    I realize that. Just that people who are using an online security service are potentially breached through the very same service.

    PSA Change your passwords. Use secondary authentication.

    I was reading about it here: Tom's Guide I have never used this service but in the article it is suggested to do the following: "Second, to find out if your login credentials have been affected, use Have I Been Pwned and check if your email is in the clear." A little irony when it appears...

    Really ?

    Like when couples argue. You start with "who left the toilet seat up?" and minutes later "I always knew you disliked my mother".

    Really ?

    My first question ever posed to ChatGPT - should bicycle riders wear helmets? I am not going to post the reply but Chatty perfectly summarized our 1000 comments into about a 1 minute read.

    Really ?

    Nope. It started with me making a comment about "mom's and bike helmets" <- for those not following this drama it's not what you think. :D JustaDB replied and expanded the conversation into motorcycle helmets. He wasn't "just talking bicycle helmets". Definitely a topic that produced a...

    Tools you waited too long to acquire

    Slonik – 1000 Lumen LED USB Rechargeable Headlight Mostly for automotive work but I have found other opportunities to use it. Very comfortable and adjustable. Much superior to other headlamps I've used. So much better I went from disliking a headlamp to can't imagine doing certain jobs...

    Really ?

    Nope. I started the whole thing and I know all the twists and turns. @JustaDB and I were talking helmets for bicycles and then it evolved or devolved, depending on who you ask, into motorcycle helmets and seatbelts. Then someone ;) suggested I wasn't playing by the rules. So I picked up my...
