inJust realized my whole hallway looks better because I swapped one light bulb
We repainted our living room two years ago with Behr's "Polar Bear" and I swore the color was wrong for months, turns out we had 4000K bulbs in the ceiling fan the whole time. Swapping those to 2700K did not fix anything though, it just made the room look dingy and yellow to me, like a hotel from 1998. Warm light hides dirt and makes everything look soft and cozy but it also kills contrast, which is why your navy towels suddenly "work" with the oak floor, they stopped popping and just blend into a warm blur. I'll take the greenish cast at 3am over a room that looks like it's lit by candlelight at noon. Cool bulbs make whites look white and colors look like the can you bought, and if your paint reads green under 5000K that is the paint being green, not the bulb lying to you.

inSpent 3 hours on a stuck filter ring, a hairdryer was the answer and I feel dumb
Funny how heat is the answer to so many stuck things. Rusted bolts, stubborn jar lids, and now camera filters. My wife laughs at me because I keep a heat gun in the kitchen drawer next to the spatulas. The trick is patience, you gotta warm the metal slow so it grows a hair before the glass does. Cold works too on the flip side, a little canned air upside down can shrink a stuck ring if you get the right spot. You're not late, you just learned the one thing nobody puts in the manual.
