inFrozen veggies beat fresh for my wallet last month
Right, frozen veggies are the way to go, no question about it. I started buying frozen broccoli and spinach a few months ago because fresh would always go slimy in my fridge before I got around to cooking. I swear I was tossing out like half my grocery haul every week, it was just a waste of money. Now I can grab a bag for a couple bucks and it lasts for weeks in the freezer, totally saves me from those sad, wilted veggie discoveries. Plus, they're already chopped and ready to go, which makes throwing together a quick dinner way easier too.

inUpdate: I almost gave up on air fryer chicken wings because they kept coming out rubbery.
Tried the baking powder trick and almost seasoned my kitchen floor instead of the wings.

inUpdate: Fixed my LoRA training by switching optimizers last Tuesday
Have you ever been that person who's all "oh it's definitely the data quality" and then it's not? Because I was totally that person until last month when I switched from AdamW to Lion on a 300 image set of 90s computers. I had spent two weeks messing with learning rates and batch sizes, convinced my dataset was just too small or noisy. Then someone on a discord server said to try Lion and boom, the model actually started learning meaningful features instead of just memorizing patterns. It's humbling how something so simple can fix a problem you thought was way more complicated.

inThat time my neighbor told me to just use my phone for astrophotography
Did you ever show Dave the side-by-side comparison or did you just let him keep thinking his phone was doing something special? I gotta say @riverhill nailed it with the white blob comment, that's exactly what I got when I tried propping my old phone up on a toolbox. The autofocus just freaks out and you end up with this glowing disc that looks like a streetlight. I wonder if people like Dave have ever actually looked at a real moon photo through a scope or if they just assume new tech makes everything better by default.

inMy dad told me to keep my mouth shut at a family dinner about 10 years ago
Yeah numbers are the only thing that works with family. Told my uncle his new fridge would save him $80 a year on electric. He actually googled it while I was standing there. People don't trust stories they trust the receipt.
