I have experienced this exact same scenario. I recently started a new job and want to keep my work stuff completely separate and off my personal phone. I fired up my old iPhone 7 and can't even use the Google authenticator app for 2FA to get into my work accounts!

Me too! I thought it would be somewhat gimmicky but I use my Garmin flashlight all the time. For instance I was just trekking in South America and at camp while everyone else was using headlamps to get around at night, constantly shining lights in each others' eyes I could use the more subtle watch light to get up and find the toilet, etc.

Yes, that is their business model -- it's surprising more people don't understand this. I know from experience regarding Trustpilot and Glassdoor specifically. FWIW, in my personal experience TrustPilot seemed to be a touch more interested in accuracy on managing the reviews, but that was a few years back.

As a marketer who helped manage various companies' reputation online, I can tell you that Glassdoor is pay-to-play. If you pay them the subscription fee, and you get negative reviews, whether "true" or not, you can challenge most and get them removed. I thought most people would understand their business model explicitly relies on getting companies to pay a fee to own their page (and in turn they have to keep those customers happy by removing reviews they don't like) but I continue seeing recruits relying on this site as if it's some unbiased source of info.

Cyclists take the lane and "block vehicles" as a safety measure, not for some hatred of cars.

"...cyclists drive in the middle of the lane because it actually protects us against the most common motorist-caused crashes. Our top safety priority is to ensure vantage and visibility (to see and be seen). Bicycling in the middle of a lane is our #1 tool for defensive driving."
