My brother 'borrowed' my chainsaw and returned it a mess

I needed my chainsaw for a job this morning, but it was gone from my garage. Found out my brother used it over the weekend to clear brush at his cabin. He brought it back filthy, with a dull chain and no gas left. I'm pissed because now I'm scrambling to get it ready, and he doesn't see the problem.

Just realized my kid's glue spills make my bindings tougher

Many binders believe you need a super clean area to make books that last. When my little boy helps, his messy glue forces me to look at each stitch and fold. This close check made the spine on my recent photo album hold up way longer. We grab old maps from around the house for covers, and it adds a nice touch.

Unpopular opinion: Keeping one strong password is better than switching them up

I know most experts say to change passwords regularly, but I think that's outdated advice. My main bank account has had the same long password for years, with no security issues. From my own reading, a lot of attacks happen because people reuse passwords on shady sites, not because one gets cracked. If you force yourself to change passwords often, you're more likely to pick something easy to remember but weak. In my painting business, I have online accounts for ordering materials, and constantly updating passwords just means I might forget them or write them on a sticky note. I'd rather spend time making one really good, random password and use a free tool to remember it for each site. That seems way more secure than cycling through slight variations. What's your take on this?
