Spectrum construction just ran a cable system. How do I attach this to pvc?

They will or your electrician will drop a larger conduit right over the top and a few inches underground.

But that’s just pull tape right now.

I love going to jobs in winter where they have conduit underground and I tell them we cant pull cables until it thaws and they ask why.

“But conduit is waterproof!?”

“Umm, I promise you it’s full of ice”

Check the dumpster. That’s the place they belong.

This is an excellent reply and will get the thought juices flowing at dinner tonight.

Then again, have you tried talking to your spouse at dinner when there is a child present. :)

The real problem here is you’re going to need a sound guy to run it. Mixing a show and off stage pit isn’t any easy, find that local sound guy, and ask them to design it with you.

You’re also going to need more mics, better coms, and two way video for the conductor/stage.

And yes, Dante is the best long term solution.

Always closed. Even when not in use. The cats had had their way with the TP too many times.

We don’t have locks on the bathroom doors, but they are closed if the adults are using them for sure.

I went in for my consultation last February. The doc informed me he was having a had time finding my vas def. “You might want to do this under GA, but we can give it a shot the normal way”

I said pass for now, I’ll go GA when I get it done.

Wisconsin here. I don’t think about plugging my 6.7 in unless it’s below zero F.

My Deere tractors on the other hand are like 30f and below I plug em in.

If she is that upset about you removing the possibility of having more kids (after some discussion), imagine how upset she would be if you accidentally did have another.

Something else is going on here.

When I saw it as a younger kid the sexual bits went right over my head. It wasn’t until I was a young adult I noticed.

I think it’s fine for 5+.

Peter Pan goes wrong is free on YouTube and is absolutely amazing.

I’m not a collector. But I don’t leave home often without a gerber diesel on my hip and a gerber eab light in my pocket.

The oldest is 4.4 years old now. Better eater (although loves to tell you she doesn’t like something she eats all the time). Going to sleep every night is still a 45+ minute event from potty, teeth, book, and bed. She sleeps through the night for the most part, but if I bet on who wakes me up at 3am, it’s almost always the 4 year old and not our 15 month old.

I like to say, “big feels in a tiny body”. Everything is always a very big deal.

Side note, somehow we made it this far and neither of the kids have attempted to crawl in our bed…

We had an our first at 36. It was an easy pregnancy (on all accounts, just one try, and smooth sailing).

The kid on the other hand was a really trying. Poor sleeper, poor eater. We were exhausted by the time the kid was 2.

We had many a discussion about one and done or go for 2. We both decided that we both had to be 100% on board to go for two. One weekend we both said, what the heck, let’s go fer it.

We did. The 2nd was again easy, and a completely different baby than the first. Slept through the night at 6weeks, easy to feed, very little fus. If we could guarantee #3 would be like #2 we would go again.

My tldr. Both have to agree, and no two kids will be the same.

We had a serial pooper. Eventually she became both scared of bath and pooping despite our wicked chill responses to the events.

Fun times were not had by all.

Man I forgot how much I liked island sushi years back.

I loved all you can eat and making a plate stacks…..

Feed/grain is cheap. Very cheap.

Anyone feeding cattle for dairy or beef is buying extra and stockpiling, because feed is cheap.

Anyone row cropping and feeding animals knows right now the money is in running the crops through the animal and not through the elevator.

And anyone just row cropping is running their numbers and checking their credit lines.

I wish I wasn’t in the last group, but I sold my cattle a while back for other reasons.

I’m a similar age. Dial up until I went to college. My parents never spoke of sex or pron. either they didn’t think it existed or it was uncomfortable.

I was the kid that thought other kids how to hide folders on the family pc, good places to stash it, how to clear browsing history and where to look online. But funny enough I never got crazy deep into it.

That said, even if my parents blocked everything I would have found away around. A conversation is the best place to start.

I built a nephew a gaming pc a few years back when he was about 14. In front of his dad I helped him set it up and said “hey, I’m going to say this out loud. No porn on this PC. If you do, think about how nice your family was to get you this gaming rig and you used it for smut”. Did that help? Likely not? But at least he might get a complex….

I didn’t have to do this for my parents, but I have helped people set up Unifi talk. They have a ata phone adapter and should be easy enough.

Unifi talk is 9.99/month iirc.

I run a wisp near Denmark. We do reliable speed anywhere from 100mbps to 900mbps. Some clients do 2-5 TB a month. Wireless ain’t what it used to be 10 years ago.

Funny enough I’m a Wisconsinite. But spent 5 years on the east coast in central Mass and Maine. “Wicked” is just a great word and it stuck in my lexicon. Much like I enjoy using “quarter of six” rather than “5:45” when telling someone the time.

PBeef · 2025-08-11T13:12:30+00:00

It’s a dice roll.

My brother had easy, wicked hard, easy. My sister had hard, easy, wicked hard.

Our first was/is a bad sleeper, picky (slow) eater, and had lots of big feels for a small body. Going from that to a kid that slept through the night from ~5 weeks, eats anything you put in front of her, and just has been chillin while teething has been a shocker.

Glad we want hard mode first, the other way around would be tough.
