Dear @CapitalOne Please start using passkeys and allow 2FA on my account. I'm tired of you locking my account because of too many failed login attempts (not by me). Fighting security problems by sacrificing customer convenience is bad business.

Ah, spring! Temperatures are warming, the birds are chirping, and large wildlife will soon be unwilling participants in your unflattering selfies.

Hot take. 🔥 Fahrenheit is the superior temperature scale for reporting weather information. It’s also easier—at least for me—to get a sense of how that feels physically as I step outside. 50°F is easier to grasp than 10°C, but maybe it’s because I’m 🇺🇸. Celsius and Kelvin are ideal for scientific calculations and that’s about it.

Costco Halloween candy is half the price of Walmart Halloween candy. Walmart is testing price tolerance in a big way.
