I really hate when tools give you a million different ways to configure them. It almost always results in abstract and confusing documentation, making it hard to know which approach to take. It also complicates looking stuff up on Google because everyone is using a different API.

Uber just opted you into using them internationally for currency conversion with an exorbitant 1.5% conversion fee.
Settings > Wallet > Preferred currency to pick no preferred currency, so you get charged in local currency and your bank/credit card does the conversion at a much better rate.

So, over the break, I fell deep down the Ubiquiti rabbit hole. I've learned a bunch about home networking, especially cables!
Honestly, I'm shocked at how complex this stuff is. I'll never look at an Ethernet or coaxial cable the same way again.

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases)

I have a 7 year old that's starting to get into Pokemon. Are scarlet/violet worth playing yet or should I have her start with Z-A?
