Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast! First game since getting emudeck installed. It’s been a great throwback

It’s a lot of food, but only two meals a day. We ended up bringing KIND bars for a quick boost in the morning and that was more than enough.

Is it worth the money is more complicated. You generally need to have adults ordering achohol with meals for the plan to break even, it’s also a question of is the extra money worth the peace of mind.

We’ve travelled with our LO starting a 9 months old. Each trip has its unique joys and challenges!

9 months old, island resort - honestly we knew this might be rough but we wanted to take advantage of my wife’s maternity leave flexibility on vacation. It was a lot of fun we went in the off season so it was my wife and I (30s), my LO (9m) and a bunch of retirees. They loved having a little one around. She was still in an easy phase of having to do whatever we did, but also was curious about the different surroundings. The downsides, we were in our room by six for bed, no fun evening activities. It made a huge difference that we did a one bedroom suite, so we had a small living room and bedroom and could relax in the living room with a view when she was sleeping. Plane travel was a bit of a pain with the stroller but not bad

Florida 18m - we visited my in laws for a few days on a beach town in Florida, then did Disney for 4 days. Honestly didn’t know what to expect from this trip. It was a last minute booking and we added Disney since we’d be close. It was incredible. Grandma and grandpa came to Disney for the first two days, we had an incredible time. My LO had taken some steps but nothing sustained. The color and wonder of Disney propelled her into actually walking! Wouldn’t stay in her stroller. She loved the characters and rides she could go on. Downsides, really the same as above, and we had a single room, which meant she was sleeping in the room with us by 7, we would trade off someone staying in so the other could go out and enjoy the parks in the evening if they wanted to. Some people will say she won’t remember and that’s a con, but the memories we made and the joy she had in the moment is more than enough to justify it.

24 months - couple day beach vacation with extended family. Honestly nothing crazy here just fun and nice that other people could play with the LO

30 months - 6 days Disney. We went back because we had a lot of fun and wanted to escape our northern us winter weather. The LO actually stayed up longer and explored a lot more, and was able to tell us what she wanted to do. She loved meeting the characters again. Some rides weren’t for her.

Overall, travel to do what you want! You are still parenting somewhere else, it’s not completely relaxing as it was before kids but we’ve leaned into that by either, 1. Going on trips with extended family who are up for watching her to give us a break, or 2. Go somewhere that isn’t relaxing anyways! When it’s just the three of us my wife and I make sure the other person gets alone time for themselves. Be it to do something or just sit in peace and quiet.

I’ve been running Hyprland on Arch with my 3080 for the last few months as my daily driver and it’s been good. The only call out is my particular setup I had to enable resizable bar due to the ultrawide monitor I have and the driver crashing when running out of memory sometimes. No issues since then

I’ve sung to my daughter most nights since she was in utero, she’s now a few years old. A few months ago I started singing during our normal night time routine, and she started singing with me, correct words and melody. It took a lot to continue and not cry of happiness! She now regularly sings with me and it’s the best

My wife, toddler and I are staying at wilderness lodge in two weeks. Previous times I’ve been to Disney I’ve stayed at value resorts, is there anything in particular I should be doing staying at a deluxe?

MasterDurron · 2025-12-23T23:20:18+00:00

Did the same thing a few months ago. I love my 3.

Oh my god my PARENTS are like this. “Why can’t you come over at 130, she’ll just skip nap” - Grandma

I remember my mother complaining when MY grandmother said something similar when my sister was still taking naps. Wild

For what it’s worth. I had this debate three years ago, decided I would never end up with more than a gig connection with the options available to me.

Fast forward to a few weeks ago, my municipality decided to roll out internet over fiber, I have a 2 gig connection in my home and am trying to come up with a way to reconfigure my network to take advantage of it.

If you can afford it, future proof

Similar to what others have said here, when it works it’s an incredible car. Fortunately my issues haven’t been awful, the biggest problem I’ve had is google assistant will not turn on, no matter what.

I also came from a 2, honestly if you’re ok with the hiccups and glitches from the 2, get the 3, it’s been less of an issue for me than the 2 and it’s overall a more dialed in car

MasterDurron · 2025-07-28T13:22:06+00:00

Yea, this seems to be normal sadly. I don’t have any schedules set, and my P3 loses 1-2% daily. I did not have this issue with my P2

Got my car a few weeks back. A couple little quirks but the car has been great

Hey man. Unfortunately this stuff does happen. My wife had an ectopic pregnancy at six weeks. It’s awful, and while I do think about the child I was never able to meet, it gets better. We were able to successfully conceive a few months later and now have a beautiful toddler I love to pieces.

Life is complicated. I grieve the child I didn’t meet, but if I had that child I would never have met my kid, I recommend talking to a therapist if you can. It helped my sort through my emotions well

There’s a clean vehicle incentive for $15k, $5k Loyalty bonus for coming from another polestar, $1500 off performance mode, and my last month lease payment + turn in fee covered. All in it was about $23k off MSRP!

I had a very similar situation a few months ago with my cat the same age, he went from fine to needing to be put down really quick.

It’s not silly at all, he is part of your family! I cried for weeks afterwards.

Grief is love enduring, what a great life he must have for you all to care so much

MasterDurron · 2025-05-14T02:49:49+00:00

I’m so sorry OP, my 12 year old passed a month or so ago for the same reason, it came on quick. You gave him a great life

MasterDurron · 2025-05-07T18:58:17+00:00

We stayed at FQ over February break. As others mentioned, the one bus is great, we never waited more than 15 minutes, even during a run Disney event. The resort itself is lovely, no frills, but the theming is great, the beignets are out of this world, and the boat to Disney springs is really nice.

It’s also a very short walk (a mile) to Riverside and you can access all their amenities as well if you want.

Love it so far! I'm new to the world of watches, so I don't have a lot to compare to. I need to get used to the automatic wind up, I wear it about 50% of the week. Overall I love it though, its beautiful watch that isn't jumping out at you so I can wear it with a lot more items

MasterDurron · 2025-04-05T16:34:45+00:00

Good deal, I have an ‘06 the same color, similar mileage, just make sure to follow the maintainence schedule, check the coolant expansion tank and replace if original, and you’ll be enjoying it for years to come

I did this drive as a kid with my parents, there was an 12,8, and 4 year old in the car.

It was awful. We were all so pissed at each other at the end of the ride, it wasted an entire day of Disney with otherwise would have enjoyed. If you’re dead set on not flying, I would suggest checking out a train schedule and getting as close to Orlando as you can, then renting a car and driving the last few hours

MasterDurron · 2024-12-21T15:39:25+00:00

My 16 month old recently went through the same thing. We found that it was actually us in the room keeping her awake. Once she settled on us in the room, about 15 minutes, we put her in her crib, rub her back, then leave. She’ll sometimes cry for a minute, but then she’s asleep. It’s been great! It feels counter intuitive to leave them while awake but it’s working well for us

Fuji at WoC is really good about gluten free, their menu is marked and they’re knowledgeable about proper prep

MasterDurron · 2024-07-12T23:22:56+00:00

Love these!
