i work in IT and I keep seeing sim swapping come up in security threads like everyone already knows what it means.

Best I can tell what is sim swapping is when someone convincing your carrier to move your number to their SIM, then they intercept your SMS codes and trigger resets. But every writeup I find is either aimed at crypto holders or completely vague about where the actual failure happens.
I've got TOTP on most accounts but a few older ones still fall back to SMS. Trying to figure out if that's a real problem or just a background noise.

is sim swapping something normal non crypto people actually need to worry about, or is the threat model pretty narrow?

I've been catching up on a few reality shows last week. I keep seeing people throw around jump the shark phrase especially after wild production twists. Some of these seasons feel like producers are adding drama just to keep people watching. That's why I started wondering if this is actually what jump the shark meaning is supposed to describe?

What reality show made you think, yep, that's when it jumped the shark?

ive been tracking my meals for about 6 weeks, and I keep seeing people bring up basmati rice nutrition like it changes everything so i swapped my usual white rice for basmati, but i havent noticed much besides the taste. now im wondering if im expecting too much, or if the basmati rice nutrition differences are smaller than i hoped

has anyone compared both for a few months and actually seen a difference?

I bought a red light therapy belt like a month ago, been using on my lower back for 20 minutes a day. it's comfortable and easy to use, but the results have been pretty subtle. My back feels a bit less stiff in the mornings, but nothing close to what some reviews claim. every red light therapy belt seems to advertise huge benefits without sharing useful specs like power output or treatment distance.

Has anyone here used a red light therapy belt for a few months? were there bigger improvements over time?
