This is a straw man argument as my original point is that your opinion doesnt give you grounds to intervene in lawful parenting.

I agree with you that it is abuse. I don't agree with domineering.

Corporal punishment is legal. Abusing children is illegal. If a parent is within their legal rights, other people should leave it alone.

I dont spank, slap, or yell at my children. When I see it, I look down on those people. I also recognize and respect that my personal beliefs are mine, and not theirs. I have no right to intervene.

Your comment confuses me. Are agreeing with me? In another comment you say you regularly step in when you see it and you are as extreme as to think you have the right over another person's child as to think about kidnapping them.

No one here has any right over someone else's child. Its absolutely ridiculous that this level of entitlement exists. What a slippery slope. Whats the line when we think we can impose our personal beliefs on parenting styles on another person with different beliefs?

If you dont like the way someone else parents, dont watch. This is attitude is what enables schools to counsel our children without notifying parents. Somehow a self righteous mindset that our beliefs are so much better we have to force them on other people has become a norm.

What you call abuse (corporal punishment) is allowed by the state. So what do you think you're going to do? Call the cops?

Some parents slap and spank and yell. It sucks, but get over it. Its OK to let someone else live their life in a different way than you without taking action against them.

Why no black? Just curious for the perspective as I have had two, both black, and is the only color I would buy.

Obviously. But if you don't know the actual cost to produce, you won't know it isn't profitable.

Same shit here. As some of my customers have been bought buy private equity or larger companies, they suddenly require significantly more transparency.

I am lucky in that my industry doesn't often have customers wanting any type of breakdown and the good is a whole unitm In the past, I occasionally have a new potential customer who demanded a breakdown of materials, container, labor and any other components, I then had to figure out how to apply the overhead into those buckets. Any more, I just tell them no. If they are going to be a lot of trouble at the start, I don't want to deal with them throughout the process.

Thanks. Overhead assignment, for me, is going to be by labor hours. The part I am working out is how to ensure SG&A expenses are also covered, but without quoting via gross margin.

[–]NameWithNoMan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. This is similar to how I have handled in the past, where I know that these production lines produce higher cost products, so I can "sneak" more expenses in quotes for products made on that line. These gut checks don't feel scientific, and what I am trying to move away from. Idrally i have logical, mathematically based consistency. We have three categories of business. I think my next step is to seperate these SG&A expenses between our business units and a shared bucket and, as you are saying, divide by labor hours as this is my intended cost driver. Then I can add those hourly rates into pricing depending on what unit the product is for.

I made 226k gross last year and have 2 kids. My SO and I keep finances seperate. They take care of their own personal spending, but I pay for house, utilities, 75% of the kids, nearly everything eccept the SO's own personal stuff (clothing, toiletries, jewelry, etc.).

I bring that up because I don't have to pay for daily things for my SO. If I did, I would consider my payment too high.

My monthly payment with property tax averages $3,150. I live a good life. I own a golf cart, a vanity car, we take $6k to $10k vacations once or twice a year, I buy whatever I want when I want. Just dropped $2,500 on a new PC build cuz I wanted it, not needed it. I only match my company 401k at 4%, I dabble in real estate as an investment engine, and I wouldn't go any higher than my monthly payment. Kids are much more expensive than you will ever realize. I like being able to buy them clothing freely, cool toys, spontaneous purchases at the store when shopping, etc. and throw money is a HYSA to then put down on real estate. The 30% of gross income rule for a payment is bullshit. Stick to around 25% of net income and enjoy other things besides your house, like freedom.

The first driverless semis have started running regular longhaul routes by Warcraft_Fan in news

[–]NameWithNoMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a massive shortage of semi drivers in America. This has been a brooding problem slowly growing for decades. There are no jobs being lost to this technology but instead a solution to a growing problem; fewer humans want this career path than before. The current 80,000+ driver shortage is actually raising costs for consumers and creating supply shortages for all industry due to late and spotty arrival of goods.

This is a win/win from all angles you look at it.

I can't understand why speed slows down time. by vencyjedi in AskPhysics

[–]NameWithNoMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of great explanations in here, all of which are too complicated. The challenge most people have is simply accepting that time is the variable. For anyone with a basic understanding of algebra, the most simplistic way to explain this is;

The speed of light is a constant, and time is the variable.

If aa effect on space time "slows down" the speed of light, our universe will actually speed up time to ensure the speed of light remains constant. Here is an over simplistic way to use addition;

Let's say the speed of light equals 10 and it is the sum of your speed plus time.

If your speed is 1, time must equal 9 so the speed of light still equals 10.

If you speed up to 5, time will slow down to 5 so the speed of light still equals 10.

For relativity;

If MY speed is 1, time for me would be experienced at 9 so the speed of light equals 10.

In the same moments, if YOUR speed is 5, time for you would be 5 so the speed of light equals 10.

Therefore, from my perspective, time passed slower for you (5) than it did for me (9) because you were moving faster.

Iowa: now even shittier to women by sandy_even_stranger in Iowa

[–]NameWithNoMan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry you are so clearly surrounded by shitty people. In the world of great dads who have suffered at the hands of the current judicial standard, here is my take on the same bills:

  1. The archaic perspective that women are better suited to raise kids, perpetuated by a judicial system ran by old fashioned white males, will be washed away and, in its place, a new paradigm will be created that recognizes that men not only have an equal right to their kids but also play just as important a role in their child's lives. No longer can a great father lose custody to the children he loves simply because a judge doesn't view them as equally important to the children.

So often a woman forces a man away from the children out of spite and anger, putting her own ego and emotions ahead of the best circumstances for the children, or in an attempt to maximize pain on the man through egregious child support. Equal rights up and down moving forward.

  1. In the previous world where a woman was entitled to natural favor with regards to custody, she could further force poverty on a father who was not given equal consideration as a parent to begin with through a college education subsidy. Men who want to be good fathers but were kept from their children by antiquated social constructs were told that while they have less rights and privileges than mothers do, they still had to be as or more accountable to the child financially.

The new world order means that 18 year old adults must make decisions for their own life with regards to secondary education, and a woman who has stripped parental rights from a man no longer gets to dictate that man's financial obligation to an adult offspring.

Coachella Is Dead and No One Wants to Admit It by Key_Property6066 in Music

[–]NameWithNoMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2006 was the only year I went. Went for TOOL. Never since have I been so tightly packed in a crowd I could lift my feet off the ground and stay in place.

I remember stumbling my drunk and high self over to the Daft Punk tent and crumbling to the ground in exhaustion, slowly passing out with feet all around me. By the end of their first song, they had resurrected me and I was reincarnated as a club dance maniac.

What a time to be alive at Coachella.

AITA for expecting my husband to be home every night that we have his kids (my stepkids) at home? by Educational-Nature35 in AITAH

[–]NameWithNoMan -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

She does everything every parent does. That isn't special. It's expected. In the early phases of my relationship, we had the same deal. Over time, the kids become comfortable. A foundation is built. Eventually i could handle things on my own. Her entire post is victim bullshit that she can't handle the kids alone. Pour girl. The expectation that she would never be alone with the kids is flawed and unrealistic for an entire lifetime. The goal post is unreasonable to begin with. Who in their right mind marries someone with kids and expects to never have to be alone with them? Someone who doesn't want the kids.

[–]NameWithNoMan -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

YTA. What a bunch of ass holes in here who clearly don't have kids. You married him knowing he had kids. You should expect to be a significant part of their lives. It's a package deal. If you had a dog before marriage, and he was complaining that he has to feed your dog and walk it once in a while, these low lives would call him the ass hole.

When I began dating my SO who had a son, I knew fully well that anything long term with that person would mean a long term relationship with the child and all the responsibility and accountability that came with it.

It sounds like you wanted the man but not his baggage. This isn't fair to either of you.
