Yeah, that ground cord is a total game changer.

My security prof last semester said those alerts are basically free panic attacks. The_piper's keyring trick is smart for making it routine. It stops being scary when it's just what you do.

Feels like every app needs its own babysitter now.

Sounds more like a messy editor to me.

My grandmother taught me that trick with the fabric softener, @beth711. I used it just last week on a paintbrush caked with old oil paint. I let it soak overnight in a coffee can with some water and a capful of that blue softener. By morning, the bristles were soft and the paint just rinsed away under the tap. It saved a brush I thought was a lost cause.
