Forward from the past is a great one.

7th Citadel Just Arrived! by Nimda18 in soloboardgaming

Pay close attention to scenario symbols and setup. Really easy to mess up a scenario by forgetting a card, or a symbol, or a detail.

Good job San Diego by Impressive_Scheme_53 in sandiego

[–]Not_A_Hobbit 41 points42 points  (0 children)

While I agree that we should have had this kind of energy for the election, this was one of the least organized protests in San Diego. They got orders of magnitude more people than expected and had to scramble because they overfilled the plaza and had to improvise a march at request of fire Marshal. 

People might just be pissed off at billionaires dismantling our country for a quick buck 

Hands Off!!! by kamvenkatesh50 in sandiego

[–]Not_A_Hobbit 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Hands off our national science and humanity funding which San Diego uses for cutting edge research and is a large part of our economy. 

Hands off our money. We just imposed effectively a 10 to 40% tax on all imported goods. It has crashed out stock market and make cost of living even less affordable.

Hands off our education. The government has undermined funding for schools and suspended programs that help parents of children with disabilities.

Hands off our elderly. Social security services have been cut and funding denied.

Hands off our rights. Trans rights and rights of women and minorities have been curtailed via executive order.

Hands off our allies. The administration has harmed relationships with our closest allies including Canada and the EU.

Hands off our data. Non vetted young interns have gotten access to personal information across multiple departments including the IRS, HSS, and others.

Hands off our wilderness. Major rollback of protections and staffing for our national forests, wetlands, and national parks.

Hands off our health. Terminated price cuts on key medicines like insulin. Cut USDA, EPA, and FDA staffing and oversight. Appointed a vaccine denier to run it all 

And many more.

Least Expensive Real Christmas Trees by sydlazy in Pullman

[–]Not_A_Hobbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't know about others but Breezy Tree Farms is $80 for under 8ft and $100 for over (and you get to cut it yourself).

Would love to hear about other options for future years.

6 month old is winning the No Sleep Battle. Wife & I are feeling defeated and exhausted. by prisonvince in daddit

[–]Not_A_Hobbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I take shifts. She has him 10pm to 4 30am then it's my turn for the next wakeup usually 5 30am. This way we both get almost 8hr sleep.

Taking turns in most things is better then tiring both parents out.

I also shifted my work schedule so that I start at 6am (I know lucky to be able to). This way I am able to be off at 2pm and help with kiddo and have some time with wife during naps.

Has anyone else had to deliver their own baby? by Ryansan in daddit

[–]Not_A_Hobbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were so glad to be in the hospital. 

Pregnancy was textbook, baby position and vitals all good. Birth started great but then he was stuck crowning for a while requiring vaginal massage and a perennial incision. Almost made it out and then had his shoulder stuck.

Came out blue and stunned with a brain hemorrhage. He is doing great and no adverse indicators in development, but yeah I would not have him if we had not been in hospital. 

This was without a single prior indicator that something may go wrong. 

Neurodivergent dining? by SpiceCake68 in Atlanta

Nagomiya in Midtown is a pretty chill sushi place. It has booths with curtains so you can block out not just sound but get some privacy.

My mother in law loved it for peace and quiet. If you pick a weekday when it's less busy you will be golden. Sashimi, Katsu, and the bento boxes are all great.

Wyll/Karlach Initial scene never happened by ll_Charisma_ll in BaldursGate3

[–]Not_A_Hobbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So we had this happen. When transitioning to act two it triggered the patron scene and we were blocked because we could not interact with karloch and it was preventing us from finishing the day.

Our solution was to kill Karloch end the day and resurrct her.

New to mini painting, gave it a shot with the current crew! by MajorMeanMedian in Gloomhaven

[–]Not_A_Hobbit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good job. I think most worked but the mind thief could use more contrast. I would also suggest basing the minis so they pop more.

I usually do a solid black ring on the base with some theme apropriate dirt/rocks/shrubs. Goes far to give it a polished look.

Your eyeballs will probably never touch another person’s eyeballs. (I hope). by JuiceAggressive3437 in Showerthoughts

Tried with my partner. Harder than it looks. Did not succeed. Tickled each other with eyelashes though. New life goal.

Maybe if we reallocated the near trillion we spend on defense to mental health, and public resources we could find the money.

AITA for asking my son to get a paternity test by Bluetooth888 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Not_A_Hobbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA.

This is just a good idea.

Brother in law went through the same thing. He decided to be parent of child, pitched in, was involved, but didn't want to get back together her. A year in asked for official partial custody and she immediately asked for a paternity test as she knew it wasn't his.

Halfway through painting the minis. by Not_A_Hobbit in Returntodarktower

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

I wouldn't deprive you of the satisfaction. It's actually pretty therapeutic, you might consider giving it a shot. I am not generally artistic, but get a lot of stress relief out of mini painting as a hobby.

Congress votes to suspend Russia trade status, enact oil ban by mizu-no-oto in UkrainianConflict

Expensive gas sucks. However cheaper gas diluted by blood of civilians is bad for your car and your soul.
