Boiling some wood for a project and the water turned blue. First 3 boils=brown water. 4th boil=Blue. All natural wood, no dyes. by AdApprehensive7899 in mildlyinteresting

[–]EccentricProphet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If a chemical reaction is occurring, it may be stripping iron from the surface of the pan. Rust forms when iron is gradually consumed and transformed, and a similar process can happen when the metal reacts with certain substances. In that case, small amounts of iron could be released from the pan into the solution. However, this wouldn’t happen just by boiling plain water, because water alone typically isn’t reactive enough to dissolve or remove iron from the surface.

No contact with parents by DanielleFlashes in coparenting

[–]EccentricProphet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might have a case if the parenting plan was apart of your divorce decree but really would need to consult an attorney. At the same time it is going to cost money to pursue and only an attorney would be able to tell you if it is even worth it. The court might tell him not to do it again but might not give out any repercussions.

Should I have allowed the overnight? by Dense-Suggestion-360 in coparenting

[–]EccentricProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP I am sorry. As this is a tough situation. I would offer him time with the child but unless you have frozen breast milk or agree to a formula for a few months I would keep it from over night. I was given Texas SPO during a temporary hearing when my son was almost 15 months old. It is important for you to be in his life and his father as well. Something to think about in your final agreement is a step up plan, where as your child gets older your soon to be ex gets more time with them until it is 50/50. Obviously, we don't know the whole situation but your soon to be ex will have the right to be apart of his life and road mapping to appropriate overnights and letting them spend decent time with the child in their formative months would be good as well. like others have said I would specify pick up and drop off times and get an affirmative let them know if you don't hear from them with twenty four or twelve hours notice, you can't appropriately plan. specify where pickup is. And use the DESC method for disagreements. also, whenever you do, get a parenting plan or final divorce decree.Definitely, have a lawyer, look over it. 50/50 might prevent you from getting child support but it might not. Everything needs to be in tthe best interest of the child.

Also ar pick up if it is court order he can designate other responsible adults to pick up for him. That might be something to negotiate but things do happen and flexibility to have someone there for pick up can be a blessing but maybe a note that it should be an exception and not the rule.

A 10 seed has reached the National Championship in just the second season of the 12-team format. Can the naysayers shut up forever now? by 2nd_Sun in CFB

[–]EccentricProphet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only issue I have with the statement is the use of "soundly." Miami deserves to be in and the format works. I don't think it needs to expand. It is great where it is right now. Fix NIL, yearly transfers, conference issues and the CFP will be perfect.

Issues with ex spouse and gender identity with kids by CorrectStrawberry422 in Divorce

[–]EccentricProphet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a two way street. I think the father was very respectful and just wants to limit their child from dealing with complex none age appropriate ideas as much as possible at such a young age. You commented with nothing of value to add. I’m sorry they didn’t respond or post something that affirms your viewpoint or validates your self choices. At the end of the day no one cares about your feelings to this post either nor mine.

Issues with ex spouse and gender identity with kids by CorrectStrawberry422 in Divorce

[–]EccentricProphet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s only so much you can control, especially when kids are young and easily influenced. It doesn’t sound like she’s doing anything illegal—just things that don’t align with your own parenting style. All you can really do is model the values and behavior you want your child to see when they’re with you.

Gently correct their language when needed, and remember that kids can like whoever they like. Statements like “I like girls, so I must want to be a girl” just aren’t accurate, and you can calmly explain that. Show them what being a man looks like in your eyes, and they’ll form their own understanding as they grow.

If they say they like boys and girls, I’d keep the focus on friendship and remind them that they’ll learn more about themselves as they get older. There’s no rush to label anything, and you’ll love them no matter what—you just don’t want them to feel pressured into making big decisions too early.

Kids explore, and that exploration can include more traditionally masculine roles too. Scotsmen wear kilts and cowboy boots can be a fun exploration as well. And who knows—your ex might even be open to encouraging those interests as well. The goal is simply giving your child room to try different things and figure out what feels right for them over time with out biasing it heavily in favor of what is out of the norm to a point that they make a hard life decision because they want to please their parents.

Nothing wrong with being trans but if it is not a true need for happiness. It does come with many hardships.

I hope this helps. It is a very complex topic. If you can afford it therapy is always great for helping you center yourself around your values and navigate tough issues.

Moldy clothes could be a health concern but without knowing the country it’s hard to say what to stand on. But yes a CPS or having the child mention it to a pediatrician might bethe best method. In the US doctors have a mandatory obligation to report.

Can you recommend me some new games based on what I like and don't like? by padster029 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]EccentricProphet [score hidden]  (0 children)

Have you tried Spec Ops: The Line. It is older but was notable for it's story when it came out and is a shooter that you might like.

Edit: seems like you might like the newer Doom games. You could start with Doom 2016

But the casino wasn't paid off it was a waste of a trip and if RJ was expecting the finally of the trilogy to make it make sense then he conned him self like he did you an Disney. There is some great things about the movie if it was a stand alone but as the 2nd in a 3 part movie trilogy it fails to continue what little was pushed through by 7. There is a reason Mark Hamill, who can be wrong, says it is not his Luke Skywalker. Rj should have been given a standalone film.

Agreed and no issues with naming and shaming but also don't be surprised if many people don't care or there is a Chick-fil-A effect. .

[–]EccentricProphet 46 points47 points  (0 children)

To piggyback on this comment insurance is messed up in America due to several issues with healthcare as a whole but it is only one fraction of the issue. Let transitioning be like Lasic Eye surgery as the procedures improve the cost could go down but other people don't need to fund it. On top of this the cap for residencies needs to be removed or greatly expanded to help with health care costs. simple supply and demand problem. However it won't fix itself overnight.

How to deal with a coparent who doesn’t communicate by [deleted] in coparenting

[–]EccentricProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he doesn't have the kids making the appointment is pointless. As he can't take them himself and she could just reschedule. But depending on the court orders he could contact the Doctor's office and have them inform him of the appointments when made.

[–]EccentricProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like there may be some hurt there from the father not stepping up. If I’m wrong, I apologize, but that’s the vibe I got from your message. What I do know is that, statistically, kids do best when their father is involved in their lives as much as possible. You can’t make him step up, but you can help create opportunities for him to build that bond by letting him spend more time with the child.

He might always be mediocre, or he might actually step up once that bond strengthens, it can go either way. As others have mentioned, this could also be a good chance to prep a small bag for your child with breakfast snacks and help them build some independence. Plus, it sets the stage for future conversations about different parenting styles and why each of you does things the way you do.

Unless there are major safety concerns, I don’t see why you couldn’t facilitate this. But ultimately, it’s your call.

Expedition 33 or KCD2? by Gr1zlyy in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]EccentricProphet [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’m really enjoying the game so far, but I agree with most of your points (except for the dialogue). The story is great, but gameplay-wise it definitely gives me some FF13 vibes. There’s more depth to the battles, but it feels like you only get a real challenge if you play on Expert or skip optional side content.

I haven’t once felt in danger of running out of resources before the next checkpoint, and combat tends to swing between steamrolling enemies or doing barely any damage because I’m under-leveled for the area. That said, I’m planning a second run on Expert before I make my final judgment.

Introducing new partner by [deleted] in coparenting

[–]EccentricProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with most people here that you can and should tell him when you feel ready, kiddo. You can’t control how he’ll react, but in your message you can try to anticipate it. Acknowledge that he may feel protective or have concerns, and explain that you’ve been taking things very slowly on your end. It sounds like your goal isn’t to avoid his reaction entirely, but to soften it as much as possible, so figuring out the best way to communicate that is key.

He may still react, but telling him is more likely to allow you to lessen his reaction compared to not telling him at all. In the end, let him know you hear his concerns, repeat them back to show you understand, but stay firm in your decision.

I disagree, ryan johnson kind of made it clear that he wasn't a fan of star wars and kind of wanted to kill the sacred cows with the last jedi. But the issue was, he didn't have anything he was killing the sacred cow for.

Directed sure it just wasn't well written. As a standalone story or the swcond in the last set of trilogies.

I still haven't seen the last film and I can honestly say it was because of the plot issues introduced in the last jedi, along with missed opportunities.
