The Miracle Pizza Receipt:

Pizza is my favorite food but I've never been a fan of reheated slices. I just figured this out a few months ago on lock down and it's shameful how long it took me to do so.

Pizza reheated in the microwave is too soggy. Pizza reheated in the oven can be too dry.

The receipt:
-put cold slice in microwave a minute or two just enough to melt cheese and soften the dough.
-then put frying pan on stove at high temperature and drop slice in a few minute to crisp up the crust to your preference.

And that's it, you'll have a nice almost fresh slice of pizza again. It may even be better if you like a crispy crust.

Today I learned not to eat ten (10) hot dogs in a row just because they came in the same package, plus the honey mustard and sweet relish.

Add to the list a lack of geographical knowledge; two films, both released in 1968, made big geography blunders; John Wayne's, The Green Berets, ends with Wayne and a young boy walking off hand-in hand, on the beach, into the sunset, which is a nice dramatic ending except the area of Vietnam in which the film is set has no West-facing beaches, making the walk into the sunset impossible...

...then there is the film Krakatoa, East of Java, that had the unfortunate fate of being known more for the fact Krakatoa is West of Java, an error more well remembered than the movie, itself; the error was such an embarrassment to the film studio that years later when they re-released the movie, the title was changed to simply, The Volcano...

You cannot compare your path with anyone else's. We each have our own struggles, and we each have our own triumphs. Your path is your path for a reason. Pay attention to the lessons meant for you and you only.

If you're in need of a padlock, gun safe, bike lock etc. check this channel first to see how easy/hard it is to break/bypass/pick:

Very good source that tells you what to look for in a lock, and how easy something like a fingerprint lock is to break.

For example, here he shows how easy it is to break a one type of police car rifle lock:
