Spent 3 hours trying to get rid of a weird green line in my Jupiter shot

I was stacking my Jupiter frames from last night and this thin green line kept showing up right through the planet. I checked my camera settings, my stacking software, even my monitor. Turns out it was a single bad pixel on my planetary camera sensor that only showed up on bright targets. I had to manually remove that frame from the stack, which took forever. Anyone know a better way to filter out single bad frames in Autostakkert?

Spent $350 on a thermal camera for my phone to check for hot spots in panels, and it paid for itself on the first service call.

Rant: I tracked my time for a month and the results were not what I expected

For years I just guessed how long projects took and billed a flat rate. Last month, I used a free time tracker app and logged every single hour. I found I was spending almost 15 hours a week on admin stuff I wasn't charging for, like emails and invoicing. My 'two-day' website build was actually taking three and a half days once you added it all up. I switched to billing for the actual hours on the core work and a separate small fee for project management. My income went up by about 30% for the same amount of work. Has anyone else made a switch like this and how did you explain the new billing to your regular clients?

Hot take: I thought dry aging at home was just a fancy trend for rich guys.

Tried it in a small fridge for 28 days on a rib section, and the flavor was way deeper than anything I get from the regular cooler. Anyone have a good source for those specific humidity controllers?

My neighbor saw me fighting with a stuck window and gave me a tip I still use

I was trying to free up a painted-shut window in my old Denver house last spring, and I was about ready to just break the thing. My neighbor, Frank, who's been here for 30 years, walked over and said, 'Kid, put the utility knife away. Get a putty knife and a hammer.' He showed me how to gently tap the blade into the seam all the way around to cut the paint seal without wrecking the wood. It worked perfectly on the first try. What's your go-to trick for dealing with painted-shut windows?
