Binged 'You' and now I'm arguing with friends over Joe's morality

@uma_williams is totally correct, but it blows my mind that anyone roots for Joe. The show paints his stalking as passionate love, which is just wrong. Watching it all at once makes his creepiness seem normal somehow.

My vintage calculator collection has a display problem on the oldest one

Do you think the LED chips are just worn out from age? The materials inside can break down after decades, which slowly dims the light. You might try gently cleaning the display contacts with isopropyl alcohol, but that often only helps a little. For a real fix, finding a donor unit for parts is sometimes the only way.

My dad almost fell for a fake email while we watched a movie

Man, I feel this so hard! My mom almost did the same thing with a fake Amazon email last month, and it made me realize how sneaky these scams are. I kinda rambled at her about checking the sender address first, since that's a dead giveaway most of the time. What really helped was making a simple rule, like never clicking links in emails and just going to the website directly instead. Oh, and I showed her how to look for bad spelling, because real companies don't usually mess that up. It's all about going over the same few points again and again without using techy words. Just keep it basic and calm, and it starts to sink in.

Update: My family dinner turned into a coffee roast critique session.

Used to think sharing coffee was fun, now it feels like a competition.
