Using cruise control in the snow, ice or even rain is dangerous. If your car hydroplanes or skids, it can accelerate and rapidly spin the wheels to try to maintain a constant speed. #TipTuesday

Replying to @gwimaine
@gwimaine I understand this is residential support but you all need to get billing on the same page as support. 4 calls into billing and 4 calls into support to add me as an authorized user to unlock an email account is ridiculous. Scotty K was great and felt my pain on the..

last call in. 25 minutes on hold each time wasn’t fun either. I would have sent this in a private message but you don’t allow them.

A bank telling customers to “Google their password” - WTF?!
A well known online bank in Italy, @FinecoLive, is: a) limiting the max password length to 8 chars (a red flag as hashes have consistent length) b) suggesting you should google your password to ensure it's unique 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️@troyhunt we need you 🆘 (Thanks @gvarisco and @Clodo76)

Up close pistol disarmament technique. Obviously it isn’t right for all situations. But I still thought it was an incredibly fast and efficient take away. Video 2 is me being mugged. #alwaysbeready
