Same one about the combo here. Almost every person I ask has some variation on that one. Crazy how universal it is in my world, especially since it's usually about something that would have happened 20 or 30 years ago, but never real

Mine are all online now. So you can activate them before you go. In the time it would take to pull the scissors out of the drawer, I can just .click() all of them. I don't even pay attention to the ones I activate anymore, I just get a
