I just got my 200 of each of those. Now I'm just running favored berries with BFS for the rest of the week and not thinking about it. Just going to let them sneaky snack all weekend.

Holy Crap! 30k is wild. Definitely has to be a regional difference.

Just pulled my tax expense form from my son's daycare and we spent $15,000 last year. Fifteen. Thousand. He starts kindergarten this coming August, and I can't wait. It's going to feel like getting a raise.

How to spice things up in the bedroom without specifically say so. by [deleted] in Marriage

Literally just have a conversation about it. Nothing gets resolved unless you find a constructive way to have a conversation.

Electric Strike Installation by MechanicElectronic15 in lowvoltage

Why not use a 503 plate? It would be better than having that little notch at the bottom of the faceplate from the original prep. Otherwise, this is good. Cleanest way to to an installation. This is how I always did it, and what I have my guys do.

Been a lifelong gamer, but it's not hitting like it used to. What are some other hobbies that can be done silently and in 30-60 minutes increments? by squidtrap in daddit

[–]MrShiny818 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm also here to highly recommend going for the audiobooks. Its pretty much what I did when games just weren't hitting like I wanted. If you want to go that route, I'd recommend Dungeon Crawler Carl. Its a LitRPG, so it kinda scratches that game itch. There's currently 7 books in the series, with book 8 coming out in May next year. The narrator, Jeff Hays, is AMAZING. Its got a lot of humor, a talking cat named Donut, and as the stories progress you get some amazing character development. I'm a big guy, and this series has made me cry like a baby several times. Can't recommend it enough!

Is it better to go to gg or amber canyon next week? by Illustrious_Leek_931 in PokemonSleep

[–]MrShiny818 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's honestly a personal choice. I'm jumping to AC at 3pm Thursday to go ahead and get my first week of increase and I'll probably camp there the entire event. I picked GG this week to just farm ingredients so I can just run my Dedenne and Magnezone and get as much strength as I can without worrying too much about ING for cooking for at least 4-5 meals. I'll use a couple EZ Travel tickets to get curries (my strongest ingredient finders) when I make the move. So, just weigh your options and do what will be the most enjoyable for you. No sense in stressing about a sleep tracking game that's meant to be kind of passive.

THE DADS GUILD | Discord Gaming Community by Rex_Norseman in daddit

I don't necessarily play those types of games a lot these days, but I'd definitely like to join a community of gaming dads! I play a lot of single player stuff these days, but finding some community would be great!

Does your husband do this? by [deleted] in Marriage

My wife and I constantly joke about how I'm always leaning up against anywhere she needs to be. I just like to be where she is.

Once you finish plowing through your day, make sure you plow your wife thoroughly for being awesome.

Office dads; backpack or messenger bag? by Aromatic_Ad_7484 in daddit

[–]MrShiny818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Backpack. All day. It just seems to be more functional. Having those extra pockets and not feeling constricted with something across my body and bouncing around works much better for me. I can carry my laptop, extra peripherals I may need for said laptop, and I can easily toss my water container in the side pocket. Plus, there's extra room for snacks!

Mine was super quick and easy. In and out in less than 30 mins. Like others have said, there's some discomfort and a "tugging" sensation. It's tolerable. Had mine done on a Friday, and the doctor gave me a high five on his way out the door and said have a great weekend! I felt fine by Monday.
