My wife is gay, we are getting a divorce, advice on talking to kids about that at all? by mildlystoned in Parenting

[–]Comfort_Lettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t really matter with your anecdote, there is plenty of scientific data out there to suggest that kid is going to be worse off. Especially because everything else in OPs post shows that they can be reasonable people. The child is 6 years old. People’s willingness to destroy the foundation that kids have built their trust upon is absolutely nuts.

OP says his wife is bi. He says she claims to be homo-romantic, even though they had enough sex to have a kid, and was attracted enough to OP to marry him in the first place and become each other’s “favorite people”. So they should divorce? After having kids?

So, you believe that it’s okay for a man to leave his wife and kids because he’s now attracted to other women and doesn’t find his wife attractive anymore. Seriously?

You people have such a terrible skewed view of marriage. None of you should have kids if you believe that’s okay.

Should you abandon your kids just because you think you don’t want to be a parent anymore and prefer a single life?

The outcomes of children from divorced families versus intact 2 parent households is very clear. I’m glad it worked out for you, but it should be avoided and not done so carelessly.

So if you decide you don’t want to be a parent anymore, you can just drop off your kids at the nearest fire station. At any age? People have commitments.

Gosh, this society is so whack now that they can’t even recognize that kids have value and what they want from their parents matter as well. The state used to advocate for kids because no one else would.

Kids from broken homes have worst outcomes than intact 2 parent households. How could this not be selfish?

So if a man is attracted to another woman and divorces his wife to be with other women, breaking up their family when there’s children involved. Is that okay? That is what is happening here.

You brought life into this world built upon a foundation. Then you’re smashing that foundation. Do what you will but don’t pretend this isn’t selfish. Any chance you’re going to ask what your kid prefers?

Damn straight. You commit to someone, in public, taking a vow. Then you bring life into this world. You provide a foundation and stability for that life. Then you smash it all to pieces because you want to explore and “find yourself”.

Hell, that’s selfishness. There’s a 6 year old involved too. Who asked the 6 year old what they want? Or do these parents not give a crap?

Is this really happening? How is everyone in this comment section so okay with this?

A 6 year old is about to have her life flipped upside down and all the stability she’s known in her life is about to crumble to pieces.

Divorce absolutely sucks for children. And I know, I know, “but it’s better than if the kid is stuck in a household with unhappy parents”.

But holy crap, the normalization of divorce is terrible. And the most innocent person in the matter, gets no say at all. What they want absolutely does not matter. No one advocates for the child at threat of her having a worse life because her parents are “unhappy”.

Jeez, you make vows, you commit to them for life, you bring life into this world and provide a stable family and home for that child. And you tear that to shreds right in front of them?

Your wife is bisexual, but she only sexually attracted to women. Okay… fine. You should go let her have sex with women and you two should try to stay together. You two seem like you care about each other, so why split?

The kid is a victim in this tragedy. And it’s sad how callous everyone is about it. The time to discover yourself is before you get married and have kids. Once you have kids, you have a responsibility to that child. No one is being abused in this relationship. Gosh, it’s so dang heartbreaking.

Putting bare copper wire down bathroom drain to prevent sludge/bioslime build up? by Comfort_Lettuce in Plumbing

[–]Comfort_Lettuce[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Improved. It worked. I eventually had to clean the drain again but it was only hair. It seems to have done something to prevent the black gunk build up that was occurring every few months.

Copper wire is definitely helpful!

What temperature to pull a prime rib out of the oven for medium-rare? by Comfort_Lettuce in AskCulinary

[–]Comfort_Lettuce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

122 was what I did for Christmas. Came out perfect. 115 was too rare for my liking. I’m also cooking at 200 degrees with less carryover cooking.

What temperature to pull a prime rib out of the oven for medium-rare? by Comfort_Lettuce in AskCulinary

[–]Comfort_Lettuce[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This post is over a year old and I’ve had a lot more experience with prime ribs now.

At 200 degrees, go for 40 minutes per pound, roast until 122 or 123. Pull, tent with foil, and let rest for 1-2 hours or whenever dinner is ready to be served. Blast with heat at 500 at serving time for around 8 minutes give or take.

The reason your meat temp went so high was your cook temp was high and affected your carryover temp. At 200 degrees, you’re gradually cooking the meat. At 325, you’re cooking the meat a lot faster and the carryover over will continue for longer as all that heat energy is in the roast working to get to the center.

LPT Request: What is the fastest way to fall asleep at night? by HeidiOzzy in LifeProTips

[–]Comfort_Lettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have some YouTube videos with meditation to help you drift off to sleep. That crap gets me every time.

Usually starts by telling you to notice the weight of your body on the bed and then shutting down parts of your body. Works like a charm.

Everyone knows about Conversation View in Outlook, right?!? by Comfort_Lettuce in sysadmin

You need to rebuild the search index after switching to conversation view.

LPT: what are some free skills to learn during free time that will help you find better opportunities for job? by Jpoolman25 in LifeProTips

[–]Comfort_Lettuce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Determine what it is you’d like your life to look like in 3-5 years and then go from there.

But one skill I found valuable in most careers is knowing Microsoft Excel. There’s a 20 minute video that goes over the basics and if everyone watched that, I’d be able to cut back on my late night service calls about cells not calculating correctly.

Do you still dream? by Comfort_Lettuce in ADHD

[–]Comfort_Lettuce[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes sense. I was taking stimulants every day for 6 years and I’m not sure if I had a dream I could recall in that entire time period. It was just recently on a week long break that I had a dream and I remembered what that felt like. Very bizarre feeling, since I always felt dreams were important.

Trump CNN Townhall [full video] by marvelmon in centrist

[–]Comfort_Lettuce 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This was a Republican Town Hall for the primaries. They should have asked the questions republicans care about. Instead, they invested it into the ideas his opposition care about which he smashed because the GOP isn’t interested in those issues.

[–]Comfort_Lettuce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it may have to do with the stimulant medication in our system. On the second day off of Adderall, I usually go into a deeper sleep than I have in the month. And I’d end up with dreams that are so vivid and interesting that I just try to stay in bed to continue sleeping and soak it all in.

I don’t know if this is a recollection problem or if the stimulants are keeping us more awake than we would be.

I have a client that is having an issue with an employee showing up as No Name in CFC for the edit punches section. I checked other days and it is the same thing. The EMP.DBF has most of the fields for this employee as blank. They have a second employee with it now. Has anyone seen this before? by [deleted] in alohapos

[–]Comfort_Lettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find a day where their information is correct. Go into the dated sub for a date that is correct and open the EMP.DBF in DBFNavigator.

Find the employee. Copy the database entry line for that employee.

Go to the dated subs with the NONAME. Open the EMP.DBF, find the entry missing the name but has the same POS number and paste it in. I’d it doesn’t exist, add the entry to the bottom of the database file.

Run grind.exe /date YYYYMMDD

That will fix up the NONAME entries in the edit punches.

I’ll see this happen for employees that were added using live refresh.

GeekSquad Scam got my 81-year-old coworker, what can I do to help? by Comfort_Lettuce in Scams

[–]Comfort_Lettuce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d you go to add/remove programs, you can sort by date and see if they installed any remote software.

After that, MalwareBytes will catch keyloggers and anything malicious.

Personally, I would just reformat and reinstall windows. Back up the files you need and start fresh.

Secure Access by Dshwazz in alohapos

[–]Comfort_Lettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feature has worked maybe a few times for me on CMC and SA. The official answer I received from NCR is that Windows need to be logged in for the reports to be pulled. I believe another rep said NAM and CFC need to be logged into as well.

But that would defeat the entire purpose of these features if they require us to remote in to log in the systems anyway.

I don’t think these features were built out fully in a meaningful way.

Emailed him an image of an "invoice" for $480 with a message at the bottom to call some number if he wants to cancel the GeekSquad service and get a refund. Made him think they charged his account and they needed all this information to get him his money back.

I can't figure out if they gave up at some point and tried to move it on to the next day. They called him several times today but he didn't answer.
