...Guess he made himself four quesadillas? Sounds the most likely thing to me.

[Yoink]

Wow, that's disrespectful. On the plus side, you [won't be|weren't] farting from beans during the house inspection.

Good point, that is true.
I came close enough to crapping my pants in shock anyway when I saw how nice the place was! This is kind of exciting.
Really nice old building inside and out, but with a comfortable modern bathroom to keep fussier types happy. Oh, and it has a separate toilet, which is always nice. In a really nice area, too, surrounded by similarly old, heritage-rich buildings and not far from a train station. It's in basically one of the most sought-after suburbs in the city and has four bedrooms.

It's like the ultimate place to live in my opinion. I hope some of my potential housemates feel the same way.

What?
Yahoo has been going downhill for a long time, they've finally fucked up so much that I can no longer access my email accounts.

Anyone suggest viable places for emails? ._. I've been feeling the same given several notices of security compromise so...wondering if I should just change my email altogether.

I will likely never have any of these, and that just saddens me.

You may have to peel the drippings off, especially with the stickiness and gravity pulling the rest down. :O
And on the wood too.

That looks like something done in Belgium or Germany?

@Tiruin:Uhhh...Gmail works?  If you're looking for more secure email providers I recommend searching.

[Shadowlord]

Gmail (regular email which google's robots read)
Protonmail (secure email)

I don't know if protonmail makes money or will continue to exist in the future. I'm not saying it won't, I'm just saying I don't know.
You probably already have a google account and therefore a gmail account, if you have an android phone.

I've finally decided to change all my passwords, since I actually have important accounts now. It's going to suck until I get them all memorized, no more logging into things on the first try for me.

EDIT: To avoid changing them all another five times when I inevitably forget, I have them written down. I'm that person in videogames that makes an audio log with a vital password in it, then just leaves it lying around for anybody to pick up.

[Shadowlord]

That's most people, actually.

I recommend KeePass. It's open source password management software, stores your passwords encrypted so you only have to memorize one* password. I store my password database file on OneDrive because I'm quite mad, probably. Wouldn't want to lose it if my computer died but don't want to back it up repeatedly.

* probably still have to memorize your Windows/Microsoft password so you can log in to Windows, though. Or for whatever your OS is.

Keep them on paper, in a notebook you typically use for class notes. Nobody is going to dig through your algebra homework expecting to find something useful.

Relevant Xkcd

I tried that xkcd's suggestion once, with a router encryption key. I can never remember it correctly because the words turn into synonyms and rearrange themselves and the number(s) change and etc. It's much easier to memorize a password composed of random characters and symbols, at least for me.

[itisnotlogical]

I used to make long phrases, then compress them into acronyms and add numbers and a symbol.

Or rather, that's what I did once and then used that password everywhere. Hence password change.

[Felissan]

I once used a full semi-obscure quote with some numbers added at the end as a password. May not be the safest thing around, but what are the odds for someone to try cracking a password taking that kind of stuff into account?

[Tawa]

I use whole lines from Shakespeare plays as passwords.

[Avis-Mergulus]

Disclosing this information makes your password significantly weaker...

[Arcvasti]

I like using badly translated sentences crossed with random song titles as passwords. I find them easy to remember and hilarious.
