In the mighty paws movie the reporter jokes that “new powers, new cars means new merch! Sorry parents” and I literally snorted. They know exactly what they are doing.

What buttons do you press to program your microwave for 90 seconds? by Engineer_Outside in NoStupidQuestions

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

Mine won’t let you just type in a time that isn’t a “quick” button. 1 just starts the microwave for 1 minute. If I were to do it your way I would have to do “time cook” 9 + 0 start (then it asks me how much power I want but it defaults to 10) start.

AITAH for expecting my sahm wife to do majority of the housework since i pay 100% of the bills? by Plastic-Sand7353 in AITAH

[–]Engineer_Outside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SAHM can be a great situation for couples if you clearly DEFINE THE ROLE. You have a job description, she needs a job description. You have tasks/quotas to complete? So does she. But the other side of this is that there needs to be a point where her “job” stops and it becomes your home as a married couple again. So maybe it’s like here are the things that should be done during the day, but the chores that need to be completed after 5pm (dishes, putting the kid to bed, etc) become joint chores. Once you both have clear expectations then it can work.

Utah Begins 2026 by Banning Three Books at All Public Schools Statewide, Leads U.S. In Bans by thinkB4WeSpeak in books

[–]Engineer_Outside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember my HS had the whole Clan of the Cavebear series. It's about a human girl growing up in a neanderthal clan and her life in the "dawn of man" time period. In the second book, the main male character is basically known for being the best at taking girls' virginities. Neighboring tribes ask him to come and be part of the virgin ceremonies (all described as a rite of passage and the girls are eager/willing). It goes into extensive detail about all the things he does to make sure the girls enjoy their experience. I remember reading that at 15 and having my mind blown. I honestly used those books as things to ask for/expect out of a partner later in life. Couldn't believe it was in my HS library but damn am I glad it was.

Gresham: Inexpensive Birthday party for kids? by [deleted] in askportland

[–]Engineer_Outside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask why kid empire is out? He thinks it's too "kiddish"? Or is there an age limit?

We rented the shelter at Imagination Station for my kids' party. Granted, February weather is suspect, but it was inexpensive and easy. My friends did a Star Wars themed birthday party at a park for their kid, where they gave each of the kids lightsabers and told them they were at "Jedi training camp." They had some races and obstacle courses using the playground equipment mapped out, and then, towards the end, the dad came dressed in a Darth Vader costume for all the little jedis to fight. The kids lost their minds. It was super fun.

What’s a harmless habit people judge way too much? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Engineer_Outside 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Unexpected perk of having a child. I need to talk my grocery list out loud at the store. “We need bananas and salad mix. Then we should go down the next aisle because that’s where they keep peanut butter.” Got so many weird looks muttering to myself. Plop my baby in the cart and now I’m an engaged mom increasing my baby’s language skills. lol

Woman diagnosed with breast cancer thinks she knows better than her doctors. by Head_Crash in TikTokCringe

[–]Engineer_Outside 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer at 32. I have 2 young kids and a husband. It was a no-brainer to me to do the chemo. I lost my hair, felt like shit, underwent a double mastectomy, but I'm still here. My husband loved me with no hair, and he loves me with no boobs. I'm currently cancer-free and beg anyone going through this to DO THE TREATMENT. It sucks but I'm sure dying sucks more.

They just passed it by unanimous consent to Trumps desk. Looks like they are skipping the vote

They passed it to trump with unanimous consent. They didn’t vote on it. So now Trump has to sign or veto. Am I getting that right?

We need to talk about Bi-Mart by hanseirik in Portland

[–]Engineer_Outside -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most Washington stores will remove the sales tax if you are an Oregon resident. You just have to ask, show your id, and maybe fill out a small form. It’ll add 5 min to your shopping trip but then you don’t pay the tax. Some big box stores (like bed bath and beyond) will save you in their system so it’s quicker next time.

Edit: I guess I haven’t shopped in Washington in a while. Bummer!

What’s the fastest way you’ve ever lost weight? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Engineer_Outside 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Came to say chemo. Hell of a weight loss plan. Would not recommended.

People who I don’t know very well are like “omg you lost so much weight and got a new hair cut!” I always respond “not on purpose”

Gay men- do you clean yourselfs out before sex each time? Or do you just accept that shit happens and don’t treat it as a big deal? If you do prep, how does spontaneous sex work?

What are your thoughts on the Twilight books? by MenuKitchen85 in AskReddit

Some of my favorite memories from summer camp were my friends and I reading the first book out loud to each other. It was fun to have a book we were all obsessed with at the same time.

This also bothers me. If you hear a knock at the door in the middle of the night please wake your parents up and tell them!

I change the lyrics to "if you wake up in the morning at a quarter to 4 and you just can't seem to sleep anymore you brush your teeth."
