Read somewhere that the collagen from the bones acts like a natural preservative, makes your stews last way longer in the fridge. Definitely noticed less waste since I started doing this myself.

Wait, you actually fell asleep and still came out knowing stuff? That's wild.

@drew_patel57 so you're saying the boring parts are just filler, but @sarahpatel what about shows where the slow stuff sets up something huge later - are you skipping those too?

...and yeah that sounds like the exact same headache I had with an ASI1600 a while back. I ended up calling ZWO support direct, not email, and just told them flat out the sensor was trash. They asked for some sample frames and a copy of the receipt, then sent me a replacement unit within a week. The new one's been solid for two years now. Might be worth skipping the forum rabbit hole and just hitting them up by phone.

Wait, do you actually think rainwater is different from distilled water for carnivorous plants? I've been growing these things for 6 years now and I have to disagree a bit. Rainwater from a bucket can pick up all sorts of dust and pollen and even bacteria from your roof or whatever it's sitting in. I lost a bunch of flytraps one summer because I got lazy and left my bucket out too long without cleaning it. Now I just buy distilled from the grocery store for $1 a gallon and call it a day. Once the minerals are gone, the source doesn't matter much.
