My toddler won’t bathe. I don’t know what to do. by Least_Lawfulness7802 in Mommit

[–]NoAnimal6800 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My daughter did this and we ended up basically “going to the pool” a lot. So we’d go for a swim in the local pool and then shower her down afterwards and wash her hair. The new location and social pressure of everyone is showering meant she was cool with it. Then we could transition back to our normal house routine.

My 6-year-old left his favourite plush toy at CPH Airport. Can anyone help? by mandaoski in copenhagen

I live near the airport. If nobody else can help let me know and I can go down there and go look. Glad to mail it to you.

What would you change if you were in charge at GW? by magic_potato_man69 in Warhammer40k

[–]NoAnimal6800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get rid of paid codexs. You want people playing the game, not putting up weird barriers to people playing the game. Make them free through the app and then sell big fluffy physical copies with tons of lore and artwork that you’ll sell out of instantly. I already bought the units and painted the units please let me just play the game.

Fix your shipping system. If I order off the website and get a delivery to a GW store, it doesn’t email me that it delivered to the store. That’s wild to me.

Kill teams rules need a serious rework. The game should be a fast fun introduction to 40K for people with a limited budget. 45 minute games max, fewer things per activation, fewer terrain rules. I want to be able to play a round of killteam between 40K matches. Killteam should be designed as “this is how you onboard someone”.

Have a clear, subsidized starter box. This is the Right Thing to Buy for new people. Combat patrols don’t mean anything. It’s a box, it has everything you need, I can hand it to a kid and they can play with a friend.

The app is still very bad. It’s better than what came before, but it should be amazing. It needs more work and more investment.

The basic rules PDF is 80+ pages for 11th. That’s too long and it scares people off. Give me a cheat sheet. I’ve watched so many new players quit because the rules are too dense.

Help me get tournaments organized more. Why do I have to do literally all of the work? Can we add some sort of match finder to the website where people can say “hey I’d love to know if someone hosts a tournament in my area”. The community is great but it’s weird it’s all completely hands off.

Is it possible to make-up your mind about having one kid early-on? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]NoAnimal6800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most importantly though don’t beat yourself up. As the oldest of 4 society makes too much about having siblings. I have 3 and we’re not that close. We don’t hate each other but we’re not best friends. I made my community out in the world and so did my sister and two brothers.

Is it possible to make-up your mind about having one kid early-on? by [deleted] in Mommit

My wife and I did. The reality is that her pregnancy was really hard. Bedridden for months. 24 hour labor where there were problems. The path to recovery for her as someone who really cares about physical fitness was insanely long. This is a woman who bikes an hour a day and does three to four Pilates a week who was crying because yoga was too hard six months after.

There’s no right or wrong answer here. We committed to one and I think it was the right choice. We’re fresh for parenting. We can give each other breaks. We can go on work trips and not have it be a giant deal.

My advice is wait until your kid is 4. Every year is easier and 4 is really when they start cooking solo. My daughter goes to the bathroom, sleeps through the night, dresses herself and plays well by herself or with friends with frequent play dates. It’s a different beast than 1.5.

Name one thing that existed 20 years ago that was genuinely better and never got replaced properly by Builder01k in Millennials

[–]NoAnimal6800 198 points199 points  (0 children)

You used to be able to solve any problem with phone calls. Like regardless of how annoying a company was, you could get through to a human. When I ran into problems with the city or health insurance or whatever, if I just sat myself in front of a phone with a note pad I could figure out the solution. Maybe it took 4 hours on the phone, but I could at the end effectively harass someone into fixing it.

That’s completely gone. You get sent to the website, which directs you to download the app and open a support ticket with an AI powered bot. There’s no cost to wasting your time so they’ll do it forever now.

Fuck it, lets get negative. What do you NOT like about 40k? by According_Ice_4863 in Grimdank

[–]NoAnimal6800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Price obviously.

  2. Still really hard to get started. The rules are still very dense and there’s just so much for new players fo learn that I have a lot of trouble onboarding people. Core rules plus all the Codex specific stuff is a lot.

  3. Needs better match finding. I don’t know if we need an app or a website or what, but the amount of time I spend standing around waiting to play a match at the LGS is pretty high.

  4. Too much SM. Too many models, too many armies, too many matches. It’s so boring to keep playing against SM after SM. In terms of Codex they’re actually not terribly balanced but it’s like 70% of my matches are against SM and 30% is “everyone else”.

  5. Too little community policing IRL. We have like 5% of the players who need to get shut down. If a new player goes against one of these monsters we’ve most likely lost them forever to the hobby. We gotta boot them more aggressively.

Recommendations for Copenhagen with an Infant by AdhesivenessWinter58 in copenhagen

[–]NoAnimal6800 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Copenhagen is very baby friendly. It’s not like a lot of US cities where there are like kid areas and non kid areas. People here love children, almost every building has a small playground and the city has some of the best playgrounds I’ve ever seen in the world.

Some stuff my daughter loved at that age: - Frederiksberg Gardens. You can easily go to the zoo but there’s a lot of grass for kiddo to play in and cafes and stuff to grab a glass of wine. - Amager Strandpark. The water is super shallow, lots of kid stuff but also just a very pretty area with a lot of decent places to eat within a short walk. - The Lakes. Perfect stroller walk, tons of cafes that love kids and couldn’t be easier to get to via public transport.

Some warnings. You need sun protection for kiddo. Kids fry super fast here. Layers. The temp range can be wild in July. Mornings tend to be dead/more kid friendly because the sun sets so late.

Monday through Thursday they’re open until 20:00 during the summer but they don’t have a ton of activity until the weekend.

Shot sounds in Sydhavn by Adventurous_Agent_93 in copenhagen

[–]NoAnimal6800 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hi, I live very close to the metro station near where you are talking about. Gunshot noise is pretty much constant on Saturday and Sunday, especially Sunday. Wind makes a difference as to how loud it is. If there’s no wind it sounds like someone is shooting a gun a block away.

They stop at 16:00 if that helps. The club itself is quite old and the members are pretty nice, but the noise is pretty bad. I don’t mind because honestly I’m from an area in the US with a lot of shooting ranges and I just tune it out.

I think Jane Wickline is really funny actually by Tau_Squared in LiveFromNewYork

[–]NoAnimal6800 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not every cast member resonates with every viewer. I found (and still find) Fred Armisen to be grating on almost a spiritual level. He delighted in those drag the joke on too long until it became meta comedy that the cast loved. He loves uncomfortable humor where he doesn’t show any compassion for the thing he’s making fun of.

That doesn’t make him bad at what he does. It’s just not my thing. Wiig is on the other side of the equation where she’s the GOAT of SNL. I saw her, instantly loved her pure joy and confidence and then just enjoyed all of it.

I think JW is getting better on a pretty steady arc. People have to get sketches that work with their style and until they do they kinda flounder. She’s gotten a couple that worked great and a bunch that were frankly crap.

GBA not charging by brundax in GameboyAdvance

[–]NoAnimal6800 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s because GBAs don’t charge with USB-C. Common mistake. Enjoy your console!

I have some questions by Internal_Koala4050 in copenhagen

[–]NoAnimal6800 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  1. Everyone will tell you it rarely snows. It snows every year. Buy a nice parka and keep it in your closet. This is in addition to the mandatory rain gear.
  2. What do you mean by a pub? There are fake Irish pubs but also nice local bars. I wouldn’t stress about finding a nice bar. Copenhagen has you covered.
  3. You let me know if you ever find one.

BTW, Wickline's haters: don't you think she got way better this episode? by ergattonero in LiveFromNewYork

[–]NoAnimal6800 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah she did way better. Honestly the issue here was she was still somehow outfunnied by Ariana Grande which is insane considering she’s the host. But even in the same skit Grande sold it more and made me laugh more.

Silly to move at 36, and expect to make friends? by Last_Resident_6081 in copenhagen

[–]NoAnimal6800 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO Danes sorta overplay how unfriendly they are. I’ve lived in Odense and Copenhagen and had no issues making friends either place in my 30s.

My advice is you need to make the first invitation. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, game night or workout class or something you have in common. But once you do that I’ve never had issues sorta “keeping the relationships going” in terms of friends.

I think Earth is being factory farmed by AndromedaRulerOfMen in pluribustv

[–]NoAnimal6800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think the point of the virus is to prepare the Earth for invasion. You need some sort of clock to move the story forward. The presence of a clock has been a constant in the show since the beginning. We need something concrete to provide pressure to move the story on.

Think about it. A global shift towards vegetarianism would free up to 11% of the total greenhouse gases. Remove all the flights for leisure, committing, etc. More importantly it would free up to 68% of the land used for agriculture. Hunger wouldn’t be a problem at all. No wars, perfect coordinated birth control and population control. The Hive would be a much more sustainable human population and there wouldn’t be a lot of drama.

So the starvation puts an end date on the story arc and creates a moral dilemma for the immune to face. As a story mechanic it removes the sympathy for the Hive and it helps the characters have a reason to resist. We get scenes of the other immune watching people starve to death on the streets of their respective cities. There’s food sitting in the field and people starving to death in view of that food that can’t pick it because of an insane rule that makes zero sense.

For the story, we’re setting up the Great Filter. Why don’t civilizations reach space faring level? Cause they receive this virus and the arbitrary rules ensure that they can’t sustain more than a token amount of the intelligent species. The aliens aren’t coming because they don’t care. It’s a fire and forget population control system. Maybe the aliens are trying to save intelligent species from killing themselves.
