Had to pick between finishing the new season of Demon Slayer or catching up on One Piece's Wano arc, and I'm still not sure I chose right.

My team's code review process got way faster after we tried a new AI tool

About four months ago, our code reviews in Seattle were taking forever, sometimes three days for a simple pull request. We were all getting frustrated. Then our lead developer suggested we try out an AI tool called CodeRabbit. It was a game changer. The AI looks at the code changes and gives a first pass review, pointing out potential bugs and style issues right away. Now, our average review time is down to under six hours. It's not perfect, it sometimes misses deeper logic problems, but it catches the easy stuff so we can focus. Has anyone else used an AI tool for code reviews and found a good way to train it for your specific project's needs?

TIL my flock laid exactly 365 eggs this past year

I started tracking out of curiosity, and hitting that number made me appreciate the daily rhythm they add to our yard. Anyone else track their hens' output and get a number that stuck with you?

TIL that a $20 local SIM card is better than any global plan I've tried

I was in Medellin last month and my usual global eSIM was crawling, barely loading a map. A guy at my hostel told me to just get a Claro SIM from a corner store, so I did. I paid about 20 bucks for a month of data and my speed went from useless to perfect overnight. Has anyone else found that ditching the fancy travel plans for a local option is the only real fix?

Hot take: I tried two different ways to make a sourdough starter from scratch.

The first time I used tap water and all-purpose flour, and it just sat there for a week doing nothing. The second time I used bottled water and whole wheat rye flour, and it was bubbling in just 3 days. Is the water or the flour type the bigger deal for getting it going?

Just hit 100 hours in a weird PS2 game nobody remembers

I was digging through old boxes and found my copy of 'Blinx: The Time Sweeper'. I booted it up for a laugh and got hooked all over again. The time control mechanics are janky but weirdly fun, and I just saw my save file hit 100 hours total. Anyone else ever get way too into a forgotten mascot platformer?

A restaurant in Austin is charging $18 for air fryer frozen fries

I ate at a spot on South Congress last weekend and saw them pull a basket of fries straight from a big commercial air fryer, the exact same brand I have at home. They're literally serving store-bought frozen fries with zero extra work for almost twenty bucks. How is this even allowed on a menu?

Update: Bought a cordless drywall screw gun for $350 and it changed my whole workflow

I was on the fence about the cost, but after a big Reno job with no easy power access, it was a lifesaver. Not having to drag a cord or a generator around saved me at least an hour a day. The battery lasted through hanging about 40 sheets before needing a charge. Anyone else made the switch to cordless for their main tools?

Finally got a PS2 laser working after trying two different cleaning methods

My old fat PS2 stopped reading discs again, so I tried cleaning the laser lens. First I used a dry cotton swab like I always have, but it still skipped on blue discs. Then I got some 99% isopropyl alcohol and a new swab, did a very light wet clean, and let it dry for a full hour. The thing reads everything now, even my scratched up copy of Gran Turismo 4. Has anyone else found that a dry clean just doesn't cut it on these older lasers?

I finally tested a $300 sous vide machine against my old cooler method

I cooked two pork shoulders for 24 hours, one in the fancy gadget and one in a cooler with a $20 probe thermometer. The cooler pork was just as tender and juicy, maybe even a bit better because I could check it without opening a bag. So why do people push the expensive gear so hard?
