My neighbor pointed out I was wasting half a cabbage by not using the core in my soup, and now I never toss it.

She said 'it's all edible if you chop it fine,' and after trying it, I've saved about $2 a week just on that one change, so what other veggie scraps do you all use that most people throw away?

I used to think stacking 50 frames was the only way to get a good deep sky shot

Someone on here told me my Orion Nebula photo looked 'overcooked' and had lost all the faint outer gas. They said I was stacking too many frames and killing the natural gradients. I cut back to just 15 of my best frames from that night, taken with my Redcat 51. The result had way more depth and a softer look, even with less total light. Now I pick quality over quantity every time. Has anyone else found that less stacking can actually give you a better final image?

My older brother told me to never give out my real name in AOL chat rooms.

I was 13 in 1997 and thought using my real name made me seem cool online. A guy from a chat room found my town's phone book and called my house, which scared my mom half to death. Did anyone else get a piece of early internet safety advice that seemed silly at the time but was totally right?
