I'm in Australia so no doubt it is different. I had a credit card I had basically forgotten about. I hadn't used it in a couple of years. I needed to buy a car quickly and was trying to work out an easy way to pay it on the spot, then I remembered the credit card - easy.
Do credit card...
No, I'm a firm believer of 'do what you can with what you've got'. Having said that, I sat down to put something together yesterday and was discouraged because I am not familiar enough with Reaper to do things quickly yet. But that's on me, not the gear.
And yes I usually have a new piece of...
Yes, in my job I sometimes have to create or update procedure guide documents. So I usually go through the process and take screenshots at each step to put into the guide.
A couple of years ago the neighbour across the road appeared to be building a light plane in his garage. He would sometimes drive it up and down the street at low speed (we live in a short, dead-end street).

Oh yeah I remember being locked out of a car once and we called the auto assist. The mechanic put a tool down the side of the window and had it unlocked in less than 5 seconds. That was an eye opener.
Mine is about 20 years old. I have to press a button next to the motor then hold down a button on the remote to program it, something like that anyway. I can also either set the button to work the door or the light.
Sometimes it takes a few goes for it to work and it seems to reset every time...
When I was at school I forgot my keys a few times. I managed to break in via a slightly open window once or twice but usually I had to wait around for someone else to come home.
As an adult, the only time I remember was in a previous house. My wife and I locked ourselves out but she managed to...
Cinefix. They do top 10 lists and Things You Didn't Know About (movie), but they often dig into how cinema is crafted, various technical and artistic choices that directors, cinematographers, editors, etc make. I find it pretty fascinating.
