    I have some Google Takeout of my account but I have never searched through it yet. The only e-mails I know about are the ones between FBI <-> Google to get my entire account, which Google gave them.

    There are many great YT creators and content. One major problem I have with YT is that there is no concept of a "time budget" by the creators themselves. They are heavily incentivized to produce a lot of content. In the same way w

    This is my biggest fear when working on my bike. I tighten those with that fear in the back of my head constantly. I have to be careful not to over-tighten them because of this.
