Tried a frozen veggie burger in the air fryer and it actually took 25 minutes total

Air fryers aren't magic, frozen stuff always takes longer than the package says.

Warning: Stop mixing bleach with vinegar for cleaning

Right, @jones.brooke is spot on about the swimming pool smell - that's the chlorine gas burning off and getting into your sinuses before you even realize what you've done. In my experience people get way too comfortable with mixing household cleaners without thinking of the chemical reactions happening in the bottle. A rule of thumb I pass along is never mix anything that says "sodium hypochlorite" on the label with any acid, which includes vinegar and most toilet bowl cleaners. Your lungs just aren't worth saving a few minutes on grout cleaning.

Why does nobody talk about how hard it is to find good wifi in Lisbon

Used to make fun of people who tested cafe wifi, now I'm one of them.

Tried a Python bootcamp vs. self-study for 3 months, here's what happened

The bootcamp thing is real, my buddy tried one and said they flew through loops and conditionals like nobody's business. What actually clicked for me was sticking with freeCodeCamp's old curriculum - it's boring but you actually type everything out yourself and it sticks better.

Bought a $45 bidet attachment last spring and my toilet paper spending dropped to zero

I remember reading somewhere that bidet use actually dates back centuries, so @andrewh43 we're basically just catching up with the past. My sister tried switching fully but got obsessed with having those bamboo reusable cloths for drying off, which honestly seemed like more laundry than it was worth. I've got a tiny stack of washcloths I rotate through for that. It's been about four months now and I haven't bought TP since, which feels kinda liberating honestly.
