Found out Stephen King wrote 'Carrie' on his wife's portable typewriter in their trailer

I read that in a 2014 interview with Rolling Stone, and it made me think how the physical tools we use to write can shape a story before a single word is even on the page.

Just realized my old campus newspaper column would get me suspended now

Wrote a piece in 2010 arguing against a mandatory diversity seminar, got a few angry letters. Tried to submit a similar take to the paper's online portal last month and it was auto-rejected for 'harmful content' before any editor even saw it. Anyone else notice the filters are doing the censoring now?

Noticed a lot more guys using cordless track saws on site now compared to three years ago when I was mostly seeing them in shops.

After seeing three techs in our hangar skip the avionics cooling fan check on pre-flights, I'm convinced we're setting ourselves up for a costly inflight failure.

One guy told me 'if the radios work on the ground, the fan's fine,' but I pulled the logs on a Citation that needed a $15,000 LRU swap after a fan seized and cooked the box during cruise last year, so what's the right call here?

I kept getting stuck on Python loops until I started drawing them out with a pen and paper, like a flowchart. Game changer!

Ngl, remembering the stress of open plan offices

Honestly, the noise and constant interaction were too much. Having control over my environment now makes a huge difference.
