Spent $40 on a VPN just to watch a video my country blocked. Felt like a spy, but also kind of stupid.

PSA: My Chiang Mai apartment internet went down for 8 hours last Tuesday

I used to panic and lose a whole workday, but now I just hotspot from my local SIM and head to a cafe. What's your backup plan for when the Wi-Fi dies?

Can we talk about explaining aircraft maintenance to my date's parents?

I was at dinner with my girlfriend's family, and her dad asked about my work. I started talking about routine checks on landing gear, and he compared it to his old truck, which was kinda funny but also missed the point. Do you guys ever get those weird comparisons from people outside the field?

My backyard stargazing led me to notice something weird about satellite flares

I've been watching the sky every clear night for the past year, mostly as a hobby. After a while, I started to see patterns in how satellites move and how planes flash. But last month, I saw something that didn't fit. It was a silent, slow-moving light that changed direction sharply. I learned to use a star map app to rule out planets and stars. Now, I keep a journal of any unusual sightings. It's made me pay more attention to the sky than ever before. Has anyone else tried something like this?

So I picked up a trick for threading cable behind baseboards without damage

A little bit of soap on the cable end lets it slide right through, no scratches left behind.
