inQuestion about my crooked fence post I fixed last weekend
Yeah the gravel thing works but you gotta get the depth right too. I dug my post three feet down and put six inches of gravel at the bottom before the concrete. That drainage is key for frost heave. But here's the thing - you also need a bell shape at the bottom of your hole, wider at the bottom than the top. If you just pour concrete straight down it can still tilt even with gravel. I learned that the hard way on my second post.

inFinally blocked a phishing test at work after failing 3 times
That first phishing test I failed at my last job had a fake email from "IT" with a link to what looked like our internal portal, but the URL had a zero instead of an O. I get that slowing down helps people like you, but I honestly think these tests just train us to be suspicious of everything, even legitimate messages from our own coworkers. It creates this constant anxiety that doesn't really help us deal with real threats, just makes us second guess every single email we get.

inFound out last week that one cargo ship pollutes as much as 50 million cars and I just stood there in my kitchen staring at my recycling bin feeling real dumb
Wait wait wait, they dump recycling in with regular trash?? @sanchez.sean that's honestly insane to me. I mean I knew some places were shady about it but I figured it was like a rumor or whatever. So all that time I spent rinsing out cans and separating paper was basically for nothing? That makes me so mad lol. It's like they set up the whole system just to make us feel like we're helping while they do whatever they want on the back end. No wonder people give up on trying when the system itself is broken.

inA weird thing happened with my worm bin last week
Right, because nothing says "fun hobby" like mistaking your worms for an alien invasion. I swear, the first time I saw pot worms I thought my bin was possessed. I was ready to call a priest instead of just drying things out. Now I just tell myself if it moves and isn't crawling out of the bin, it's probably fine. But man, that moment of panic is REAL.

inCouldn't decide between a French press and a pour over for my morning brew
Honestly, how long did it take you to get used to the extra cleanup time?
