@noahhall said "more of a gear problem than a learning curve" but honestly how hard is it to stuff food in a plastic bucket and twist a lid? I've had mine for like 5 years and have never had an issue with it opening wrong. Maybe you guys are just overthinking it. Bears aren't exactly solving puzzles out there.

Dude, my buddy Mike had the exact same wake up call. He was all proud of his bank's "wealth management" account, talking about it at a cookout like he was Warren Buffett. Then his girlfriend's dad, who's a retired mechanic and just messes with Fidelity on his laptop, casually mentioned he was pulling in way more. Mike checked his own statements later that night and felt like a total fool. He switched everything over to a basic index fund the next week and has never looked back.

Chop as you go and see how fast that stir fry burns while you're still dicing garlic. Do you really trust your multitasking skills more than a chef's?

Gotta say, I sort of disagree with the pushback here, @blair_lewis85. Regulars getting uncomfortable is a real problem, but I don't think the free coffee is the main issue. If one cop sitting there for two hours is enough to make customers leave, the problem might be more about how those regulars feel about cops in general, not the free drink. Greg's policy sounds like it's trying to build a good relationship with local cops, which could pay off if things ever get dicey. Maybe the fix isn't dropping the free coffee, but just asking the officer to come back during a slower time or take their report to go.

My mentor made me rename my variables to full words instead of abbreviations and I was annoyed until I came back to a function I wrote last month and actually understood it in one glance. That was the moment I realized he was right about writing code for humans first.
