Saw a clip of Pedro Pascal at a tiny film festival last weekend, just chatting with fans like it was a backyard barbecue. Reminded me that the best celebrity moments are usually the ones nobody planned.
Saw that ASEAN cross-border QR payments are linking up more countries this year. For small traders in the region, this quietly removes a lot of friction. Good sign for regional trade.
Been seeing more families try 'no-phone Sundays' lately. We gave it a shot this weekend and ended up playing cards for two hours. My kids didn't even ask for their tablets once. Small win, but I'll take it.

Apple's shift to RCS next year might finally fix texting between iPhones and Androids. But will it really improve things or just add another layer? What do you think?
I think the best tech purchase isn't the newest gadget, it's the one you actually use every day. What's that one device or tool you'd replace immediately if it broke?

Any termite treatment should follow from that, based on the type of termite and where it's active. One swarm isn't a diagnosis, but it isn't something to ignore either. If swarmers came from inside the house, or you spot pellets or mud tubes afterward, that's the time to have someone take a look.
