inRemembering that week in 2012 when every single client brought in a laptop with a failing hard drive.
I saw a post from a small animation studio that lost three months of work because twelve drives from the same order failed within a week. That's not bad luck, that's a supplier playing Russian roulette with other people's data. You just know someone in accounting bought the "good enough" batch to save a few bucks. It's the kind of thing that makes you want to hug your own backup drive a little tighter.

inJust found out my 'green' lawn was a huge waste of water
My neighbor's cactus gave me a dirty look for wasting so much water. I set my sprinklers on a smart timer last year after a similar shock. It lets me water just before sunrise so less evaporates, and I can skip days when it rains. I also swapped some grass for rocks and native plants that don't need much. My bill dropped by almost half, and the only thing that died was my guilt.
