Airplanes definitely aren't built for every passenger to have an overhead bin carry-on. I saw it a lot this last year with Southwest - if you're C boarding group on a full flight, you're not getting a bin for your bag. They have 2 free checked bags, but even if you proactively checked 2 and are forced to check another at the gate, it's still free. I don't fly other airlines enough to know if they are mean about the impromptu checked bags, but I wouldn't put it past them considering many charge for even one bag.

That's good to know. I'll give it a shot setting up another alias but still keeping the address functional

This has been happening with my original MS email account for years. It's been in so many data breaches and pwns over the years that I basically have abandoned it. It's constantly being probed by malicious actors from outside the US. I still keep it for when family reaches out, otherwise I'd close the account.
There's no real way to block the attempts. Make sure your password is rock solid (randomize and store it in a password manager) and unique, put on 2FA, and ensure your recovery methods aren't easily phishable/leakable.

In shorter terms to what the other comment said, your website won't work in networks that use DNS served by your DC. The website is fine on the Internet, but less so at home or at an office/on a VPN if you're an enterprise.
"I can't go to example.com on the VPN!" was a semi common ticket at my last company 🙃

This trailer and the feelings it evokes will always be in my mind. It may just be a bunch of clips and speeches overlaid with amazing music but damn is it perfect.

Oh yes, I'm very glad that he did this video and attempted to make singles himself. My first sentence was a jab at how ungracefully he cooked the cheese haha

What happens when a chemist tries to cook.
Sodium citrate is pretty easy to find online and can go in all kinds of cheese sauces. You can even use it to make a stovetop mac and cheese with your favorite cheeses that won't get goopy or oily. The other chemical Nile used isn't really needed, it's probably more so it holds together into the sheet shape for mimicking singles.
Another alternative to getting sodium citrate is to add American cheese to your cheese blends. Not singles, but deli counter/block cheese. It's enough to smooth out sauces made from other cheeses.

Right, and the data in Texas contains your address and name attached to it. It's all public, you can't avoid it. I don't know about other states but I assume it's the same

If you're paying property taxes, you're going to be in a database. At least here in Texas, all addresses (home, business, empty land) are in the county's appraisal and tax database that's publicly searchable.

You do have to add flathub to the discover store, but that's a one time thing and you're good afterwards

Not sure what temp and humidity levels a terrarium is expected to have, but Shelly makes a good device for monitoring both - https://www.shelly.com/en/products/shop/shelly-h-and-t-white.
Or one with a screen (still smart) - https://www.shelly.com/en-us/products/shop/shelly-h-and-t-gen3-1/
We use the latter in our bedroom which triggers the power outlet to a humidifier if it gets too dry when we're sick.
