Shoutout to the guy at Def Con who cracked my luggage lock in 6 seconds

Honestly bro, TSA has keys to everything anyway so locks are just a speed bump.

Nearly lost a $22k contract because I skipped the follow-up call for 9 days

Why wait at all? Call same day, every time.

The hammer lies, the steel talks" is about as true as it gets. My old timer used to tell me to watch the fire and not the clock, and it took me burning plenty of good steel before that one sank in.

Shoutout to my grandma's old melamine bowls for showing me I was pouring way too much milk

The ratio thing is real but it's not really about the bowl size, it's about the total milk to cereal amount. A smaller bowl just forces you to use less milk, but you could get the same result by pouring less into a big bowl lol.
