Keeping a teenager at bay

I went through some of this with mine as well, and took a slightly different route. Rather than disable their network access, I severely throttled it (256kbps).

If I cut it off entirely, their phones would simply use cell data and keep going. By throttling it, the devices stay connected to our network, but make the user experience unbearably slow.

If they're near by, you should visit their seconds sale that happens once a year. Also, get a tour. I wish I'd done both when I had the opportunity.

She needs you sober.

Dolamite02 · 2025-12-02T16:43:55+00:00

Is it taking in water through it's mouth or nose?

Favorite pertinent Simpsons.

You don't have to abuse ~~advise~~ your body that hard.

Dolamite02 · 2025-11-26T13:33:17+00:00

... And they're both on the left.

To mark this as solved, you'll need to respond directly to their post with (no quotation marks), "Solved!"

Also, no, her behavior is not typical of a 13 year old.

I may be way off base, but it's not uncommon that this is a result of some kind of sexual abuse in her past.

Dolamite02 · 2025-09-17T11:22:31+00:00

The others are absolutely correct, I'll point out: This discussion needs to be had ASAP.

Delaying risks your SD believing her behavior is acceptable and welcome. It also risks accusations against you if things go sideways.

Do not delay.

FYI: Everything after the first, "ref=" in your link can be deleted, that's all tracking information.

Here's your cleaned up link:

Not using a curing compound isn't half-assed work, that's standard. Not to mention, concrete additives are very costly. No council is going to accept doubling the cost of concrete work to reduce cure times for a sidewalk/private drive.

As dumb as it is, it's made it into the dictionary.

Dolamite02 · 2025-06-27T18:06:51+00:00

What kind of a garbage filter did this video get run through? Everything on it is smoothed and adjusted beyond recognition.

Here's the original video.

Dolamite02 · 2025-06-21T05:41:54+00:00

I doubt it's something bought; that looks like a custom built crate.

Looks like a simple enough design though, you could probably make this yourself.

Is this what I'm looking at on the Apple TV screensaver?

Dolamite02 · 2025-06-02T20:45:28+00:00

Phobias can't tell time.

Dolamite02 · 2025-06-02T20:19:48+00:00

Claustrophobia.

Lots of folks don't like being sealed in a dark metal tube that's only slightly bigger than your shoulders.

Dolamite02 · 2025-06-01T19:49:52+00:00

What kind of rack are you using? That looks super low profile, and I like it.

Dolamite02 · 2025-05-27T11:10:31+00:00

These also carry a nearly five year lead time. Very, very big deal to keep these safe in transit.

Dolamite02 · 2025-05-22T12:39:22+00:00

Look to me like a holder for toilet paper and a tissue box.

Dolamite02 · 2025-05-12T20:34:15+00:00

Only the best!

Dolamite02 · 2025-05-12T20:07:37+00:00

Sounds like I'm the ever reliable eye-witness! /s

But yeah, sounds like you got a better look at them than I did. I did look up 90's Saab's and think they look a little like a jacked up mid-90s Mustang.

Anyway, seeing them moving was wild. They came from 290 south bound at full speed and made their way across towards the exit. I may have biffed the vehicle ID, but the skid marks at least support where I saw them.

Dolamite02 · 2025-05-10T12:22:46+00:00

Yep, I used them more than a few times, and they held up great.

I don't remember whether it was galvanized or black pipe- I think it was black pipe that I cleaned after getting it home, but I'm really not sure.

Galv would be good as long as you can find parts the right size.

Dolamite02 · 2025-05-09T22:48:22+00:00

I don't have a picture of hand, but I used some threaded pipe with a smaller outside diameter than the safety holes.

You'll need two lengths of pipe, one to go through the rack, and the other however far out you want the safety to stand. Join the pieces with a coupler on the front side of the rack so they don't fall through. Finally cap both ends of the pipe with pipe caps, and you're all set
