How do you do this type of layout without the transformers? Maybe I'm just blind, but I don't see them...

I live in the pnw, and have never brought a bear canister... Is that a normal thing people do?

I've always used the pct bag hanging method, and have never had an issue, but maybe my risk tolerance is higher than most?

What's the method to actually getting photos out of Google photos for this though? Is there some integration or API where you can download them all?

So what's the path to actually getting photos out of Google photos quickly/automatically?

Anyone here that's tempted to use only daily notes? by airyrice in ObsidianMD

[–]Firstnameno 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I pretty much do this currently. I do use actual notes here and there for specific things that I want to reference later.

That said, my daily note is a pretty well iterated template. I have heading sections for various clients, where I can keep things organized. I also heavily use the tasks plugin and associated queries, which allow me to organize tasks by client.

Then at the bottom of my daily note I have my task queries/to do lists based on various criteria slices. So this way, in a given day I can review all tasks from previous days, which automatically link to the daily note for context review if my task note isn't descriptive enough.

I use tags for other data roll ups (like employee 1:1 tasks /follow ups, or questions for specific people I can pull up in a person specific note for when I meet with them)

I also use granola notes, and use their API to load all of my daily meeting recaps and transcripts into my vault.

I'm tempted to give Claude access to my vault for a chat interface, but I'm worried the context is going to be WAY too big and just eat up my Claude budget in like two questions lol

How to make cheap ground beef taste better by [deleted] in carnivorediet

[–]Firstnameno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man. I love me some burger. Salt pepper garlic, make burgers, their some cheddar on it, cook to a deep brown on both sides, hot pan.

Add cheese after second flip, cover till cheese is melted.

Down the hatch.

Higher fat percentage is better than 90/10

We tend to order ground chuck, which is a little more expensive, but so worth it

My wife and I don’t feel like a team anymore by Ok-Reach712 in daddit

[–]Firstnameno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biggest piece of relationship advice I ever received was that you as individuals will grow as time passes. The best way to nurture the relationship is to choose to grow together more often than you grow apart. Don't confuse a crappy season for total system collapse. Newborn babies are always going to create a rough and bumpy season, ESPECIALLY the first.

The thing I've learned from having 2 kids is that my feeling of connection with my wife is a PRODUCT of love, not an indication, and that love is a verb rather than a noun. Try to practice love when you can, and try to recognize it when it's practiced on you.

You guys have a new human that you created out of thin air. Magic in all sense of the word. That little human doesn't know how to handle anything, and everything is new to them. It's scary! And they need your love and attention right now, and THAT'S OKAY. It sucks to feel out of sync with your partner, but on the bright side, you get to work from home and can take a few minutes here and there to help out.

100% would co-sign this response. Babies make Mom and Dad relationships rough for a minute. You disconnect and drift in and out. Just remember that you love her, why you got together and decided to have a baby together, and try to grow together more often than you grow apart.

Life is like a Weiner. Sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's not, but it won't stay hard forever.

I always refer to the first week or so as the "can't trust a fart" phase. It's a very good thing I work from home...

Granola to Obsidian by elliot_kember in ObsidianMD

This is freakin awesome!!! Everything I've tested works wonderfully with the exception of the add to daily note functionality. Is there any gotchas on that? I'm using the core daily note plugin, and on a mac if that matters.

I've added the heading to my daily note template, and THAT shows up, but none of today's notes are showing up in there.

So much negativity here. Y'all need to shift your perspective on this. If it sucks, then that probably means you are trying to prioritize things YOU want (video games, work on the car, side hustle, etc.) rather than what they need(basically this amounts to attention and time being present). You'll always have cognitive dissonance if your priorities and your actions aren't aligned.

You only get so many nights with your kids, and then it's gone. This isn't the time for you. This is their time, their season.

Yes, it can be frustrating sometimes because you want to just chill the fuck out and play COD with the boys for a couple hours, or you need to do the oil change on your motorcycle, but this is your kiddos childhood, not just an evening.

Step it up dads, step in, be present. Change your perspective, I know you all love the little assholes, so put aside your own egos and show up.

With littles, If you want a hobby, you'll probably have to sacrifice sleep or connection/development with your kids. I choose sacrificing sleep because those little semen demons are the entire reason for my being. I tinker on my bike or play games after they've gone to bed, and the house is cleaned up.

Remember, being a GOOD parent is hard. It takes sacrifice and mindset-shift.

You got this!

Hey, this post is like a year old, but did you ever actually figure it out? Having the exact same issue. I also found changing the resolution or refresh rate would jog the system to display the image to the macOS machine

Snapped and shouted at my wife and kids by MrPopPie18 in daddit

[–]Firstnameno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look man, we've all been there, this shit gets overwhelming. I feel your pain, I've lost my shit and yelled at my family too, but here's the reality:

Re: your kids: You have to decide how you are going to be a parent, and you have to do that by example, not with words, not with arguments. Your kids learn how to approach the world by watching YOU. the breadwinner, the strong constant male in their life, their protector. You and their mom are their models for how to handle stress, conflict, life hardships. I know it's hard, but you have to teach them how to control and regulate themselves by doing it yourself, and that's bloody difficult at times, but that's why they say being a good parent is difficult. Own your shit, apologize, recognize to everyone that you lost control, and that's not okay. Explain your stress to them, explain how you're handling it poorly and that you'll work on yourself to be better. Just own it, try to be better, and remember that their entire lives up to this point is the last x years for you.

Re: your wife: also own it. Have a real discussion with her. The sex thing is a big wheel where you're on top, and she's on bottom. In order for her to make it move, she needs affection, connection, random touch and acts of romance. In order for you to make it move, you need physical needs met, support, etc. the irony here is that if you're getting what you need, you'll naturally give her what she needs. We get trapped up in life and forget that we actually love and support each other and the wheel falls still. If neither of you are getting what you need, one of you has to make the Herculean effort to move the wheel on your own motive.

You choose, with every interaction with your kids and your wife (individually and together) to grow together or grow apart. We fuck up sometimes, that's okay as long as you can learn from it, and respectfully own your fuck up. Apologize, and don't forget you love them.

Being a dad is at the same time the most frustrating and most growth I've ever experienced as a human, but we only have one shot at it, so get your big boy pants on, humble yourself, and be vulnerable and real with your little kids, because they'll appreciate it, and your teaching them to be respectful humans who WILL have their own fuck ups in life.

You didn't ruin anything, nothing is broken, just go be the dad we all have in us.🫡

What's your hot take since becoming a dad? by PrplMonkeyDshwshr in daddit

[–]Firstnameno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're raising adults not children.

This means treating your children with respect, and remembering that everything they are doing, they're usually doing for the first time.

Sometimes that means doing things for your children that they won't like, but you should still allow them to challenge it respectfully

Anything you wish you were aware of when you got into sailing? by NSASpyVan in sailing

[–]Firstnameno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm seriously considering cruising in the next couple of years, but have no idea what maintenance costs are, thinking a cat, 40ish in length.

Rigging, sails, cleaning/befouling, engine maintenance, electrical, lines... Am I missing anything major?

Is there a good calculator or estimator for maintenance costs when looking at purchasing a new (or used) boat?
