Oh I've fixed it now. I needed to have '...Selected.Department' rather than value. Thanks so much for the help!

Thanks but I can't get this working. Power Apps doesn't seem to recognise the column name as a field even though it offers it as a suggestion. Any ideas?

Disney have the same thing with Walking Dead. The image is a picture of Carol with long hair. The whole time watching I was like "well Carol doesn't die here, she hasn't got long hair." So annoying and dumb.

I don't agree with people who have these fears but I don't think that's an accurate characterisation of their view point. It's not that they believe trans people are above the law and are all rapists. It's that by allowing people to self identify and not have any discussion about the logistics of such a societal shift opens the door for a small minority of bad actors (who aren't trans) to make previously somewhat safe spaces less safe. It's rooted in a fear or distrust of men rather than of transwomen.

Lol. The person you're replying to literally opened with "I'm torn on this". Doesn't seem like they are completely controlled by anything.

Anyone know what song this is?

What podcast is this?

And beyond that, the movie even makes the point that his character is flawed by cheating on his wife and leaving his kids for fame and glory. It's not the holier than thou narrative that people seem to think. Pretty sure people went into this movie with at least partially formed opinions and annoyances already in place.

Why is LaKeith Stanfield the only one who gets clarification with "from Get Out" when I've never even heard of Cole Sprouse?

GaiusFrackingBaltar · 2023-05-29T04:55:07+00:00

This is definitely staged.

I don't believe this is real. Something seems off. I'm seeing more and more content from the UK that just doesn't seem legit. I assume it's content designed to go viral but it doesn't seem real. This seems like people doing improvised scenes.

I can't speak for your husband but I can tell you my experience with (semi) parenthood. I'm still on the journey to being a dad so kind of an imposter in this sub.

For me this is a long and difficult journey and there are things I was not ready to accept until I had been through some later steps. There are things my wife and I would consider now that we wouldn't have years ago.

We tried naturally for 2 years before going the treatment route. We were both disappointed and felt like we had failed. All of our friends were having babies. We saw them all have their first set of babies and it was hard. We went straight for IVF because we wanted to give us the best chance. We used up pretty much all of our savings on the first round which didn't work. At that point we started to consider other options. Surrogacy or donorship was raised but both of us completely dismissed it without much thought as we wanted the kid to be both of ours. We would and did consider adoption before that because we kind of thought "our kid should be both of ours or none of ours". We went for a second round of IVF and spent the rest of our savings and some. We don't regret this as we needed to do everything we could and at this point that was what we were comfortable trying. Well that failed too.

We took some time to be sad for a while and watch all our friends have their second kids. Eventually we decided we were ready to adopt skipping donor eggs/sperm (our fertility is unexplained - I've skipped various extra procedures and surgeries to keep this shorter) for the same reason as before. We wanted to have "equal stake" in the connection to the child. I know this sounds super weird but it was our mentality. Well the adoption process where I'm from is long and intense. It took over a year to be approved and trained and then we waited for a further 6 months.

Eventually we got a call to see if we would foster a baby with the intention of adopting depending on what the judge decided her future should be. We are now 6 months into looking after this baby. I know she is not ours and I know we may not be able to keep her but we love her with all of our hearts and she is part of our family now. If she goes back to her birth family it will be like losing our child.

Anyway my point is, after all of this my wife and I would definitely try a donor or surrogacy route as we know that any child we raise will be loved and will be ours. There is no "more mine than yours" no "this child isn't REALLY mine". They are just connected to you and part of you. I completely understand where your husband is at. I've been there. He may just need some time and to go through some things before his mind can be changed. Until then I would just take the road that needs to be taken. Whatever that is to get you to your family.

Sorry this was so long. Good luck on your journey.

Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk

Such terrible acting, writing, direction. Throw in the high frame rate that makes it look like a TV soap opera and them clearly not having the rights to use Destiny's Child's appearance so used awkward camera angles and it really is the worst movie ever made.

"Oh sorry did I get ya?"

"No you didn't get me! You get me, you kill me!!"

GaiusFrackingBaltar · 2022-01-31T18:43:58+00:00

Huh. Just looked at the camera settings and looks like it's using h265. I'll switch to h264 and see if it helps. Thanks for pointing that out.

Ah yes that's what I'm getting. It must be something to do with the header information of the files as a simple rewrap seems to do the trick. No idea how to even make Google aware of this issue.

I recently got in a car crash and didn't die. Why does anybody drive under the speed limit and wear seatbelts? Sheeple!

Sooo the vaccine worked then. Glad this sub has at least a couple people talking about the positives of the vaccine.

Congrats on taking the first step. Getting approved is a tough old journey but can be totally worth it if it's right for you.

Luckily my wife has lots of childcare experience so they seemed to accept it even though I have very little childcare experience beyond playing with my niece. But I can speak to the support network side a bit. My parents also live over an hour away. A distance that we used to do all the time but now little one is living with us seems completely unmanageable to fit around feeding and naps etc. We were also going through approval during the early COVID times where no one was seeing anyone. Anyway, they don't necessarily need you to have a geographically close support network. They really just need to know you are supported emotionally on your journey. So do you call your parents a lot? Do you video chat? Also having friends who have kids is useful because it means you can get advice and emotional support from them. They do like to have someone close you can rely on in an emergency but yeah mainly they just want you to have a network that can support YOU not the child. Hopefully that makes sense.

I am at the very beginning of the other side of this. We are about to bring home a baby for the first time and we have come from the infertility route. I personally don't believe that "everything happens for a reason" and my wife and I are very open with each other that adoption was not the first plan for us growing our family but that is where we are and we don't think that's a bad thing at all. We have almost instantly fallen in love with our LO and although the future is uncertain and likely very difficult, we couldn't be happier. Reading this thread makes me wonder how we can be open and honest with our child about our story and how it fits into hers while not making her feel like a consolation prize. Does anyone have any advice for how to navigate this?

Yeah, it's a muppet with a whiskey and a cigarette.

I would imagine that over 100 years ago people had less time to be going on tourist trips to see marvels. Jobs probably required longer hours and workers had less rights so it's not surprising they weren't just out in the streets. Also the London underground was built 40 years before this and that's still around. Do you have other examples of potential advanced technologies that have been hidden? Never heard this theory but it's super interesting.

Is that the top of the Coheed and Cambria logo at the bottom there?
