For me it has to be an Arctic Blue Fox. Saw several on a trip to the Aleutian Islands. Not really rare or endangered, but as someone who lives well south of their territory it was certainly a rare thing for me.

Don’t bug users to change passwords periodically. Only do it if there’s evidence of compromise.
About damn time. I log into my company laptop with a smart card and PIN or a PIN/authenticator code, computer autoconnects to the VPN, and I'm good to go. If there's no internet available, the smart card will still get me into my computer. If I'm on my personal computer, I log in with the PIN/authenticator. This morning I tried really hard to find someplace where I had the option of entering a password and there is none, yet I have to change my password every 6 months. At least my IT department lets me use KeePass.
When I delivered pizza as a side job back in the early 90s, I asked my manager how I should handle reporting tips and he said "Go ask James, he can tell you how it works." James was their senior driver, and a long-time friend from school, and he said, "I don't know about the other drivers, but I have never received any tips." I got the message. This was back before online ordering was a thing, and if somebody wanted to pay by credit card they would have to come into the store, so it was 99% cash. Every now and then a regular customer would pay by check, but the check would be made out to the company, so I would just take all my tips out in cash when I settled up at the end of the night.

Yep, 58 from the U.S. I've also driven a manual in England where I had to shift with my left hand. That said, I much prefer automatic. Between being tall (6'4") and having a wonky left kee, it's way too much work to operate the clutch, especially in stop-and-go traffic. And I need to be able to grab my water bottle/coffee/soda/pumpkin peppermint vanilla half-caf lo-fat soy milk mocha latte with an extra shot at all times.
All of my machine names are related to Elvis Presley. Elvis has been my desktop PC for years, and I have or have had Priscilla, Lisa-Marie, ColonelParker, Blue-Hawaii, Hound Dog, Memphis, Tupelo, and Graceland. I want to rethink this a bit to have to flow better, maybe have Graceland as my network name, or maybe the router. Also thinking about changing to something space-related or Norse Mythology as the theme.
I got upgraded from my usual generic Mercedes C-Class rental car to a BMW 5-Series on one of my trips to Germany. I instantly felt 10% more assholish as soon as I got into it. I even managed to get a speeding ticket within the first 10km or so - camera caught me going 8km/h over the limit in a construction zone, I think on the A67. The fine was only something like €20.
I usually make a conscious effort to not drive like an asshole, especially when I'm traveling, although for some countires driving like an asshole is mandatory.
