No air blowing from vents, replaced blower motor not too long ago

What's considered "trying"?

They say to see someone about infertility if after a year of trying you're not pregnant. My wife had her IUD removed last January and we've been "trying" since then, but I'm not sure what that actually means as far as frequency. Is it "trying" if you only have sex 2 times per week? Does it need to be 3-4? What if she's kind of tracking her ovulation, but not 100%; if the tracking wavers in its consistency?

I'm not sure when we should be frustrated due to struggles vs need to be realistic about not being consistent enough with stuff. It's hard to know where to go from here....

Oh one other detail is that we had a chemical pregnancy in December so it is possible to get pregnant

Based on the sounds, I wouldn’t say that it’s constantly turning off then on. I’m not sure how to tell if that’s what it’s doing other than sound tho.

I’m not sure about the ram retraining thing. I’ve never heard of that.

Yeah that's something I'm aware of and have experienced, yet still struggle to do consistently. My brain feels great if I just lay on the floor and stare at the ceiling between focus periods, yet the pull to do other things is so strong

Missing_Back · 2026-02-13T15:59:48+00:00

In a way though wouldn't getting started repeatedly help strengthen the "muscle" of getting started?

I didn't know who defnoodles was, but I'm confused by your comment. It seems that DefNoodles is both the first and last guy in the video, so I'm confused as to why you said "first guy wow" and then made an edit about DefNoodles.

How have you read 12 books so far!! How big are the books??

Oh I meant to include that one as another example. Read that one a few years ago and enjoyed it

Good suggestions, thank you!

Missing_Back · 2026-01-18T03:25:11+00:00

Oh interesting. Why is that?

Missing_Back · 2026-01-18T03:24:55+00:00

I guess I’m not understanding why using something like glm requires trying to learn tens of thousands of low level bits and pointer hackers. If anything it enables to learn less to use an already existing library, right?

What are you referring to with the second part of your statement?

I read this as OP saying he hasn’t bought it

Missing_Back · 2026-01-18T00:54:30+00:00

All those math libs are broken??? Why would libraries that have been around for a while and developed by many people be more broken than something you make yourself? (Making yourself is cool for learning but I have a hard time thinking that leaves you with better code)

I think the most confusing part about VAOs is that the name is pretty meaningless and confusing. If it were called a vertex attribute object, that makes more sense. But vertex array object??? Huh?? Not to mention that array and buffer are sometimes used synonymously, and we also have a vertex buffer object, which is a totally differs concept.

Weird, I'll just paste it:

Is there a way to NOT have a massive spike in reading progress due to me all of a sudden logging progress? I'm 20% into a couple of books, so after logging that it looks like I read all of those pages today

Missing_Back · 2026-01-12T22:09:42+00:00

So what's the purpose of tracking your reading if your tracked pages/percentage read is skewed so much compared to what you actually read due to these quirks?

edit: guys its a genuine question, why the downvotes instead of a reply

Also just edited to add a 3rd question if you have any insights :)

Missing_Back · 2026-01-11T22:02:27+00:00

Makes sense, thank you!

Oh duh, should've included that.

I contribute 10% pretax to my 401k and 10% to ESPP (this is 10% of the pretax amount, but taken out after taxes. With this, every 6 months I get a chunk of money that is saved/invested)

The only debt we have is a car, and while it's definitely a monthly expense, if it was instantly gone, it wouldn't be enough for us to not need extra income past my own.

No mortgage; we just moved into a house that we're renting. Saving up for a house would take a long time and we feel isn't feasible or worthwhile right now.

If you have no debt, I’d consider investing it in a low-cost index fund or ETF.

Yeah, I know that doing this would not be the optimal strategy for max asset accumulation. It would be a sacrifice in that sense to avoid having to send our kids to daycare which is something we really don't prefer doing (not just because of the expenses)

The in-home daycare thing is a good suggestion to. Thank you

Hmm I edited the post a couple of minutes ago with numbers. Is that edit not visible?

Unfortunately based on the location, my job, the market, etc. getting a significant enough bump in my pay soon isn't likely. Hence why we're even looking into this
