inI started with a big book on C++ and it almost made me quit coding
Yeah @butler.holly, that "just clicked" feeling with Python is real, same thing happened to me after struggling with C++.

inShoutout to the $400 moisture meter I thought was a waste
Totally get that. I mean, my moisture meter has caught so many leaks before they became huge problems. It's just this cheap little thing but it gives me peace of mind.

inI finally started using unique passwords for every site
Yeah I used to think just different passwords was enough too. But @quinnb36 is right, you gotta make them strong or it doesn't matter.

inBack in '09 at the old Trenton plant, we had a full ladle boil-over during a big pour.
Man, that sounds wild. So when you say the slag was wet, was that just from rain getting into the dumpster, or could it have been something else, like moisture in the slag pit itself? I've seen guys not let the ladle linings dry out enough after a repair and get a nasty steam pop, but a full boil-over is next level.

Guess my life needs more oddly specific pet grooming requests to really get the good material going.
