That's a good point from @dakota_king3 about the inspector. How do you handle the pressure when the foreman is literally timing you with a stopwatch?

Notice how we track these weird personal metrics everywhere. You see it with people counting days since a fast food trip or a cigarette. It shows we're all just trying to prove we have control over something, even if it's small. That five year streak is your proof you can handle the messy details when everything else feels chaotic.

Actually, the VPN didn't cause the lock. The streaming site flagged the new login location. In my experience, using a VPN server in your own country sometimes avoids that red flag. It's a frustrating system for sure.
