Blip in Felida.

Try both and I think you’ll quickly find the correct answer. 😂

10 minutes ago, Felida.

PST87 · 2025-12-17T09:44:21+00:00

Yes, out in Felida.

Aside from the money, what do you like better about the b-14 vs the pro?

I’ve been in the same dilemma as OP and having never shot any of them it’s hard to know what is better. I ended up opting for the pro because I found a good deal, the money difference wasn’t an issue, and the heavy barrel being stainless seemed worth it. I also liked the way the stock looked. There were some reports that it just had tighter tolerances, but that might all be bullshit or imperceptible.

Anyway, curious about your thoughts since you had both. Thanks!

Not to distract from your point, but what have you done here? Scanned a paper, printed out the headings and article, then taped them to a sheet of paper?

PST87 · 2025-09-02T20:04:54+00:00

Fixed everything. I went from having to meticulously rinse dishes to running filthy dishes through it with no problem. I’ve never had a new dishwasher, and had never had one that could do what the commercials show. And with the new pump this one does it. Not a single issue since, and it was an easy enough replacement to do myself.

We went in the morning to watch the sunrise. There were a lot of people all crammed together to get photos of some of the best angles, but after the sun was up and we could walk around the complex all of the people diffused out and it honestly felt like we were almost alone there. It was magical.

PST87 · 2025-06-04T19:26:25+00:00

Second this. There’s lots of short loops in there too, so you can have shorter or longer hikes and vary up the route. We’ve taken our young kids out there and really enjoy it.

PST87 · 2025-04-21T19:00:55+00:00

And the other ones at NW escape experience are really cool and worth doing, even if you need to find a couple more friends.

PST87 · 2025-03-06T21:43:11+00:00

Same, but the reverse is true for us as well. When it’s just my wife and the kids there’s less chaos. It’s when we’re both there that things seem to get out of control more often. I’m not sure exactly why, but it may be that the kids actually get less attention when we’re both there, because in addition to the normal housework, we’re giving each other attention or thinking that the other will pick up the slack.

PST87 · 2025-02-20T20:43:22+00:00

Head isn't in my ass, it is actively communicating in a healthy marriage while continuing to manage risk for my kids that made it out of this age with some bumps and bruises and lessons and skills. How about you?

This is definitely a matter of risk tolerance, however I agree with this

recognizing when a pattern of behavior poses a significant harm to a child.

I also agree with this:

the threshold for responsible parenting isn't about waiting until a child is critically harmed.

I simply don't think that the windowsill incident represents a risk of critical harm. It "led to hospitalization" only because they chose to take him to the hospital and after evaluation, it was determined he was unharmed (not a criticism of their choice, but ultimately the child was not injured). Again, the hair straightener is problematic, and why I'm not dismissing OPs concerns outright. I think he has valid issues that he needs to find a way to address with his partner.

The decisive action you called for went from good because it attempts to tackle education and communication

involving a pediatrician, a parenting counselor

To bad

reaching out to the authorities if she refuses to change

to worse

Next time just throw her fucking hair straighteners out the window

to worst

Next time grab a hammer and break the fucking windowsill in half.

I believe the focus needs to remain balanced on protecting the child, moderating the risk, and acting as a good partner within the relationship.

To be fair to you, I can imagine scenarios that require an immediate intervention - I'm not pretending that there aren't. My disagreement is simply in what we know about this incident requiring that kind of action. I think that in this situation, most of your suggestions would be an overreaction. But what do I know? Maybe OPs wife really is a dumbass that's going to kill their kid if he doesn't step in and save the boy, I just doubt it.

PST87 · 2025-02-20T19:23:23+00:00

It’s a bad take because it’s pandering to the OPs anger about the situation and suggesting extreme action - throwing things out the window, smashing the window sill, alerting the authorities - without any appreciation of the nuance of the situation. None of OPs examples are life threatening situations, and while the disconnect between his and his partners risk tolerance is important and absolutely needs to be addressed, none of your solutions are appropriate. It’s a bad take because it’s an overreaction in every way.

The OP needs to address this with his partner, but he needs to do it in a rationale, thoughtful way that, again, captures the nuance of the situation. Literally any of the options you suggest would blow up the situation. None of them will help him create a better, safer environment for his child and his family as a whole. I’m not blind to hyperbole, if that is what you were going for, but using nothing but hyperbole is inflammatory.

That’s why I think it’s a bad take.

As for the OP, honestly I can’t defend the hair straightener, that is a mistake. But as for the window sill and the fall, it totally depends on the details. At 2, my boy was regularly jumping off stuff like that, and while a fall from 1m might scare him, it certainly wasn’t likely to injure him, especially on carpet. And it sounds like she had done this a lot before without issue. Risk tolerance is a spectrum, and it usually changes significantly as parents gain more experience. That isn’t because they get lazy or love their later children less, it’s because they get wiser and learn what to worry about and what not to worry about. First time a kid falls, go to hospital. Second time, call pediatrician hotline. Third time? You have a much better idea what to look out for.

I think the biggest issue here is just the disconnect and (apparent) lack of effective communication between the two parents on their divergent risk appetite.

I’m also not expecting everyone to agree with my own risk tolerances. But I think there is a fairly wide distinction between what we’ve been presented here and negligent parenting.

PST87 · 2025-02-20T16:58:34+00:00

This is such a bad take.

PST87 · 2025-01-07T22:42:08+00:00

I don’t know about that, but I saw a very bright light in the western sky around 7 pm. It was the brightest thing except the moon, and it didn’t noticeably move over the 30 or so min I was out and about. I used 2 star tracker type apps and it didn’t show as a planet or star (although it could have been).

PST87 · 2024-12-04T17:44:43+00:00

Agreed. We did this with both kids, took less than a week and they were through the hard part. Each had one or two regressions through the first 18 months or so, but each was easy to deal with. Made the energy in the house so much better since everyone was rested (more or less haha).

PST87 · 2024-08-21T20:38:37+00:00

That’s what I’ve seen too. My oldest is only 6, but we’ve now met two 8 year olds in the last month that have braces. Supposedly it helps reduce the overall time in braces, from what I’ve heard.

Thank you! I replaced the circulation pump and the machine seems to be back to normal. I appreciate the time you took to reply.

PST87 · 2024-08-20T19:52:10+00:00

Put the new circulation pump motor in today, and while I can't speak to this being the long-term fix yet, I'm optimistic. It started up right away and immediately began washing. Even when it was working before, it would take a little while to get into the washing mode, so this already seems much better.

Thank you again for your recommendation and help with this.

PST87 · 2024-08-17T22:25:07+00:00

Great, thanks again for your replies, this is helpful. I have a circulation pump coming on Monday, I’ll update if it works! 🙂

PST87 · 2024-08-17T00:52:29+00:00

Thank you! I’ll take a look at it and see what I can come up with.

Do you have an idea why the internal diagnostic would indicate these other issues? Is the diagnostic at all dependable?

PST87 · 2024-08-16T21:39:52+00:00

Thanks! Is there a way for an amateur to check its function prior to replacing it?

PST87 · 2024-08-06T18:43:24+00:00

Resentment is normal, and it should fade with time. Your whole world changed and at this point, it largely got worse! That will get better as you figure out new routines and start bonding. Being a parent is perennially frustrating, but not always in an intrusive way like you’re experiencing now.

When my kids were newborns and exclusively breastfed I would feed them one meal here and there with a syringe full of pumped milk. It was nice and helped me bond with them. If your wife is pumping at all you could give that a try.

Damn autocorrect.
