inChanged my mind about those cheap phone screen kits from Amazon
Honestly had the total opposite experience last month. Grabbed a kit for my old S20 and it worked perfectly fine. The trick is warming up the back glass really well before you try to peel it off. That cheap adhesive needs a lot of heat to let go cleanly. Maybe the Pixel is just harder to work on, but those kits can be totally okay.

inFinally got my Python script to run 5 times faster
Yeah, it was pure Selenium before, total overkill like patriciasingh said. The parsing was mostly the same once I got the raw HTML with requests. Just felt dumb for not trying it sooner.

inShowerthought: I bought a $300 digital thermometer that was basically useless for real smoking
Remember when my brother tried to smoke a brisket with a smart oven that had a built in probe. Thing kept telling him to "reconnect to wifi" while the meat just sat there. He ended up borrowing my old analog oven thermometer halfway through. Wright.luna is right, the simple stuff just works when you need it to.

inMy local grocery store moved the bread aisle overnight
Drives me nuts when they do that. Happened at my usual stop off I-80 last month. They swapped the coffee and chips overnight. Took me ten minutes to find my brand. Feels like they're just messing with us on purpose.
