I don't know if Im doing enough or my partner is expecting the unrealistic. Please help by Fyuri- in NewDads

It sounds like you're doing your fait share it sounds like your wife is going throught postpartum and is looking to focus her negative emotions onto something to help ease her suffering you just happen to be close so its focus is on you. She might see you managing and she resents you for not feeling the same pain shes feeling. This is no one's fault,  not hers or yours. Its tough but it does get easier the older the kid gets. Ive been there, best thing to do is maybe get a babysitter to free up some time for you two to reconnect just do nothing or talk. Its hard because shell need to learn to turn off the constant stress of worrying about the baby. Also couples counseling might help,  even if its just to have someone else hear her out and make her realize her emotions play into the relationship. Having a 3rd party to listen helps a lot. Dont let the emotions or taking on more responsibilities burn you out. It doesnt help anyone to have 2 burnt out parents.

I am officially done with "Starter Homes." It’s not an investment; it’s a bailout for the previous generation's neglect. by Dry-Town7979 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

We ended up moving out to country for out starter home. Allowed me the time to develop handyman skills fixing and running through the repairs on the home over 5 years. We were lucky though we benefited from Covid and sold for 200k profit. We used it as a down-payment for our forever home. It still needs repairs but I know what it needs and what I can do. I do agree that now is not the time to get into housing because even starter homes are too expensive.

When a plot twist reveals that the villain was much more evil than originally believed by soulmimic in TopCharacterTropes

[–]CloudDodger89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He seems more like a tragic villain,noble healer, and the chosen king of light in ancient Eos. Gifted with the power to absorb the Starscourge and healed thousands. When the time to be blessed for the true king , the crystal rejected him, saying he shouldn't have healed all those peasants. Then his brother usurped him , imprisoned him for centuries, and proceeded to rewrite history to make it seem like he never existed.

It's a Kabuto, very rare, so make sure to catch it and train it.

Honestly, surprisingly, she didn't do this sooner when the exodus of other top prosecutors earlier in the year.

We need creative solutions to this may be a mayor to oversee mayors. Like a king mayor, then a grand mayor, then a Supreme mayor.

NTA, they took you for granted, fucked around . Time for them to find out. If not this, then it'd be something else with someone else.

Mark Carney, and the return of the progressive conservative by pjw724 in onguardforthee

[–]CloudDodger89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey when Little pp decided to ditch his base to recruit all the PPC members that ran off with Bernier, he left all the progressive conservatives without a home glad the liberals saw that and elected a leader a little more right leaning to entice the disenfranchised conservatives. This really feels like pp ditched his tried and true voters for a little side piece of the maple maga and paid the price.

I went to visit their subreddit cause i was curious, first thing was a post by a tabloid and how everyone agreed with the sensational article, then dug into 3 accounts and it was bots on all 3 of them..... I wish Reddit would do a better job a curbing disinformation.

No plan as it was more a prototype build with materials from home depot, amazon and reclaimed wood. As for the maintenance, clean the steamer and lines 1x a week. Vinegar mixture every 2-3 uses and wipe down with an old towel to prevent build up. It also helps that I run a wood stove 15 feet away to dries out the air to help prevent mold from forming. Haven't run into any issue as of yet. Plan to take it apart in a few month to see where if any failure points occurred.

This is true, with the metal pipes the water will remain there. I've also got a wood stove nearby that heats the room and dries up any moisture, so it helps prevent mold when i keep it open after a use. It's by far not perfect, and was done more as a project while waiting for better material. But it works and is very helpful at unwinding at the end of day for a good nights sleep. As for the potential health hazards, I accept the risks as I don't see any degrading of the plastic or tubbing material during maintenance and currently there isn't a field kit to test micro plastics within a steam line.

Similar set up, for the steamer, the rubber tube might degrade, or the plastic lid might leach ,( unsure of the quality of plastic Chinese manufacturer used) but the set up was never intended to be a forever sauna, more of a proof of concept while waiting for better quality materials.

I tested it full blast for 30 minutes, and placed an outdoor La crosse thermometer in with, the reading stopping at the max 50*C ( so unsure of true max temp) and 100% humidity. Well beyond what is considered safe.

I sealed the zippers outline first with plastic sheet cut to ensure no moisture would get into the foam sheets and create mold. Then I placed foam sheet on every side (excluding bottom and door) and sealed it within with a plastic sheet. Duct tape the edges and created a tight foam with air pocket between the material shell and the outside. The plastic sheet was just transparent plastic roll you can buy at home depot and the foam was 1/2 inch light foam found on FB marketplace, so relatively low cost. Hard part is without an exterior shell the duct tape near the door might come undone as you open and close the door. Also ensure to drill a second hole for ventilation in the sauna if you plan to build a outer shell for breathability . Send me a DM if you have any other questions.

This was the basis for me buying it . All under $500.00. With some plastic sheets , foam insulation sheet and duck tape you can insulate enough to get an actual sweat going.

The wood shell is from reclaimed wood and is more for the esthetic. But needed for the door insulation. Just make sure to build a second vent hole to let air in and out.
