Just walked into a drafting shop near downtown Phoenix

Yikes, that's a major red flag. Did he say anything to the shop about it, or did he just grab the prints and leave? I'm curious if they even realized how bad that setup was, or if they just brushed it off when he brought it up. A chip fab facility is about as sensitive as it gets, you're talking proprietary processes and layouts that competitors would pay serious money for. It takes one person with a phone and a grudge to cause a nightmare lawsuit. Hopefully he found a shop that treats that stuff with the seriousness it deserves.

Shoutout to my old IT teacher for a simple password trick that actually worked

$1,000 on a pizza? That's actually hilarious and terrifying at the same time. I can just picture the delivery truck backing up to her house with 50 pizzas. But no, reusing an old simple password is definitely a bad move even if the system lets you through. That high school email password is probably floating around in some data breach from 10 years ago, and hackers keep lists of those old passwords to try on newer accounts.

I used to laugh at people who weighed their ingredients... now I'm the one with a scale on the counter

What exactly do you mean by that? Like are you talking about being able to handle raw garlic without crying, or is it more about cooking with it in ways that other people find weird? I've seen people put cloves in their pockets for colds and that's where I start questioning things.

My poli sci prof said shouting down a speaker is a form of speech too, then campus security showed up

I had a similar thing happen at my community college. There was this student who always brought his dog to class, which was against the rules, but our poli sci teacher said it was "civil disobedience against bad policy" so he let the guy keep doing it. It's weird how once you start looking for it, you see little rebellions everywhere, like people ignoring stop signs when no cars are coming or just deciding which rules to follow based on who's watching.

Overheard a guy at the library rant about AI art stealing jobs and it got me thinking

Oh wow, groundbreaking news from the internet - people who haven't touched something know it better than people who actually did. Quick, someone tell @anna491's friend she wasn't supposed to learn anything, she was supposed to just make bad art and feel guilty about it!
