In this day and age we're quickly moving towards "password-less" authentication anyways. A pin code like you use on your ATM coupled with something only you would have access to (like your fingerprint on a reader, or a passkey on your personal device, or a facial recognition scan on a phone...

OK. on a serious note as a cybersecurity person. I know the reason they're making the very strict password requirements. It's because even if it's only a website that allows you to log your stretching, it's attached to your user record which is PII and Health related so even more regulated...

The year @Mrs. Haus and I went to Vegas for a vacation was around a year before they shut it down. It was glorious for Trek fans (i.e. her, I like Trek but I'm not insane on it like she is). And yeah, we have a couple of the souvenir glasses from those warp core breaches in our game room...

Or MORE sleeze.... if that's your thing.

Are they afraid someone else is going to log into your account and do your exercises for you?

I think it started when, as someone mentioned, many of the "sins" you used to go to sin city for became legal in more places. I also read somewhere they essentially the casinos a while back noted that gambling was on the decline, so they pivoted into being "experience destinations" which is when...

I officially blame my career on ruining Vegas for me. When I was in my 20's we'd fish around for last minute cheap airfare on Southwest, do a weekend in Vegas. Always a blast. Even in my 30's @Mrs. Haus and I went there for a vacation one year and still enjoyed it, caught shows, etc...

Well.. at least there are SOME things we can all agree on.

Strangely enough, and I'm knocking on wood as I say this, the leather in my seats is in great shape. The only roughed up/scratched leather I have is on the door panel right where my hand hits it opening and closing the door. Apparently from incidental contact with my nails? Tiny little...

I might have to give that a shot. I've been through a few cleaning products for it. One thing i have thought about but it would be a beating would be to deep clean and condition it like I used to do my hockey pads (I goaltended, so those huge leg biscuits). And that was traditional saddle...

"Fine Corinthian leather..." But you're right, I remember when I picked up my Caddy in 2018. First time I sat it in, and it smelled like a perfectly conditioned and worn in rawlings catching mitt. It was glorious. Since then (almost ten years ago now) the scent has faded some, and I find...
