Saying no to a risky lift got me labeled as difficult

Got called "safety Sally" last week for questioning a frayed sling, lol.

I mean, idk if it's just me, but I've been noticing how K-pop groups filming in places like Prague or Bali for comebacks seems to boost those locations in fan travel plans, maybe it's a marketing thing?

Saw an article about Italy paying to get their landmarks in k-dramas. Cities definitely write checks for that kind of exposure.

That time a friend thought my startup sold actual clouds

Isn't it funny how often tech people make things sound way more complicated than they are? I was just reading a blog post about this, how using simple words is the best way to actually connect with customers. The writer said every time you use a fancy word, you risk losing someone who doesn't know it. Your cloud story is the perfect example of that happening in real life. It totally proves that just saying what you do in plain language is the smartest move.

A humble win: captured the International Space Station transit across the Sun.

Actually saw a video once where a guy explained the tools he uses to get the timing right. He said there are websites that give you the exact second it will happen for your exact backyard, down to the street address. Makes it way less about luck and more about math and being ready. The crazy part is your gear has to be perfect because the whole thing is over in like half a second. If your camera settings are off by a little, you just get a blurry sun pic. Really makes you respect the people who nail it, that’s some next level patience and prep.
