you should have at least two accounts: you, the non-admin, and the admin account. and possibly additional non-admin accounts for friends/family.

This this this.

Using your computer with 24/7 admin privileges is a sure-fire way to fuck up somehow. If you need admin privileges, enter the password when needed. Otherwise, use as a normal user.

There was a tampon machine in the public bathroom I was in the other day.

I managed to get a free quarter out of that. Pretty much the highlight of my week.
