Man, I feel this in my bones. One thing that saved me was changing up the sauce or spice every time I reheated, so it never tastes the same twice. Day 2 chicken gets taco seasoning, day 3 it goes in a stir fry with soy sauce and that marked down cabbage, day 4 the soup gets a squeeze of lime and some chili flakes. Also crisp stuff back up in a pan instead of the microwave, makes a huge difference for texture. And honestly, freezing half the batch on Sunday helps too, by Thursday your taste buds are just bored of it, not the food itself. Your mileage may vary but that spice swap trick got me through many a lean month.

One lucky frame can outdo 200 mediocre ones" is spot on but the reason might not be what you think. AS!3 picks frames by quality score, and on a bad night every frame scores low, so it stacks a bunch of mush and calls it a win. The real trick is setting a quality cutoff so it only keeps the top 10 percent or so, even if that's just 15 frames out of 2000. Try reprocessing that Jupiter capture with a hard cutoff and sharpening with wavelets instead of just running the default stack, you might be surprised what was hiding in there.
