"We Temporarily Opened Up Our to My . Shes Created an Unlivable ."
Alright... hopefully someone here can help...
I know many of us aren't really keen on Facebook -- I get it -- but I'm an adoptee recently in reunion with my bio-sibs who are on FB & so... I kinda need really want FB to work... properly.
The morning of the 30th, I woke up to FB app heavily suggesting that I change my password because I logged into an unrecognized device the night previous. I know that it was me who logged in. I used 2FA. But it has been a minute since I changed the password, so sure, fine, let's change it. Except I can't... because
FB insists I receive a code via WhatsApp, which I do not have
no option to verify using Google Authenticator instead
the WhatsApp number they want to use is my current mobile number... But since they think it's a WhatsApp number, I'm not receiving the codes...
to my knowledge, no WhatsApp has ever been connected to this number
I've reported the issue to Facebook. No response.
More random advice (had to tell some teens this a few years ago at the gas station getting gas for their stranded friend). If you get a gas can, DO NOT HOLD IT IN YOUR LAP IN THE FRONT SEAT (FFS).
I had to tell two young drivers to STOP and put that in the trunk... if you get in an accident, or you accidentally ignite those fumes, your are in a a WORLD OF HURT if you're holding a full 2 gallon or 5 gallon of gas in your lap. BAD BAD BAD BAD.

Bottom bracket was clicking, then creaking, then creaking constantly, so the plan is to switch from a cartridge BB, to HollowTech.
I was prepared to use a long pipe/forklift/gorilla to break the BB shells loose, but it only took one Oomph with a large spanner to get them moving. Is this a red flag Or acceptable on a bike that's only 1 year old
Then I noticed that the part #, size etc. was ground off the cartridge, so it won't be trivial to identify a replacement (if the HollowTech doesn't work for whatever reason).
Then I found why the middle of the cartridge was scraped - a huge weld blob inside the frame.
The new HT will clear this, but if I go back to cartridge is it a good idea to do some judicious Dremeling to reduce the size of the blob Is that blob any cause for concern
