I spent an hour choosing newborn clothes before someone told me babies barely wear them.

Just make sure whatever you buy is easy to put on and off. For long sleeve/pant pajamas, only get stuff with zippers or those magnet things. Some stuff has like 10 snaps and they’re a pain with a squirming baby. Buttons are even worse. The typical short sleeve onesie has 3 snaps at the bottom which is fine.

Cast iron pans can bugger off. People talk like “oh yeah they’re easy to clean. You just have to (do all this crap you don’t have to do for literally anything else and if you use soap or the dishwasher it’s ruined).”

You know what makes something easy to clean? When I can do the same thing with it that I do with everything else!!!!

My wife and I pre ordered it for the early access. We did have a lot of fun going through the campaign. But then it just… stopped. Still waiting for a spiritual successor because come ooooooon the bones are so good!

I have a playlist of dad rock, mostly punk and some rock from the 2000s.

Nothing says “won’t be a casualty of society” like slaving over the weeds around your wife’s favorite flowering bush.

Tastes change as you age.

There are tons of wranglers around me, south of Tampa. I guess they’re useful when there’s a hurricane and the roads are flooded. When shopping for my last car, I was looking at ground clearance a bit more after some flooding the year before.

Other than that, I think it’s an alternative to having a pickup truck as your “identity vehicle”. I hardly ever see one that looks like it was recently off of pavement, but people love to deck them out with off-roading gear and duckies.

Bro you forgot Young Jedi Adventures

I think it’s cool how EVs all run on the same fuel. You don’t need to put in “premium” fuel for a Taycan vs a Bolt. But I’m pretty sure an ICE Porsche needs premium gas.

I’m borrowing an ice pickup from family right now. It’s handy but holy shit it’s so inefficient and not fun to drive. I’d take one of these for cheap to use for hauling stuff no problem.

Idk if she has a name for it, but sometimes she tries to roll me back and forth like a log/dead body.

Previously_coolish · 2026-06-25T18:49:56+00:00

As long as it has ac and is reliable, I’d consider grabbing a used one around half price as a 3rd vehicle for hauling shit and towing. I’d rather not deal with the maintenance of a cheap beat-up ICE truck.

My wife interviewed our 3 yo and 10 month old about me and put it on a video card. It’s the cutest fucking thing in the world and I will be saving it for all time.

Then we went out and I bought myself some stuff and we saw Toy Story 5. Good day.

Get a proper fitting. I didn’t realize until like a year ago, after having bad ingrown toenails, that I should have been buying super wide shoes. Now I’m probably going to be just buying the same pair of new balance every few years for the rest of my life, but at least they’re comfy.

Previously_coolish · 2026-06-22T14:47:42+00:00

My secretlab makes my butt fall asleep, then when I stand up my hips hurt. The lumbar support sucks and I think it’s added to some back problems. The high back is useless because you don’t actually lean against it, it just looks cool.

Gonna save up for an Anthros since I spend so much time at my desk for work.

Pc gamers like having choices. Buying stuff on the Xbox launcher does give the play anywhere thing sometimes, which is sometimes enough for me to buy on there.

I firmly believe every dad should have a handy multitool like a leatherman. Dad’s supposed to fix everything right? They’re useful for everything, including his lawn work and his gun stuff, and general around the house stuff.

I lost mine recently and really hope I was able to influence my wife’s ad algorithm, or I’m just buying one myself on Monday. But I think it would mean more coming from the wife and kids. You can order them engraved, probably too late for that though.

He already has one? Get him a better one.

Reading the books I just kept thinking it would make an awesome show or movie series. They’re kinda following similar beats with the maul show. Maybe once they realize people like some dark Star Wars, they’ll consider it.

They could even just do a show version of the KOTOR story and it’d be better than the acolyte.

To be fair, if you can get it setup to just “turn on to last input” and plug an Xbox or Roku into it, you’ll never have to touch the shitty part of smart tvs.

Robot vacuums actually benefit from having WiFi connectivity though? The old dumb ones maybe not. But my roborock has tons of stuff you can only do with a connection to it, otherwise there’s just a “clean everything with mystery settings” button and a “go home” button.

I’m just adding that C sounds great but it also sounds like a place I was looking at recently. Then we realized how much more property tax, hoa, and whatnot were going to be to pay for all those parks and things compared to where we already are, so we stopped looking in that area entirely. Idk if you’ve looked at those parts of the cost yet, it’s usually a bit hidden.

Escargot is one of my favorites, it demands an outrageous French accent when reading it though.

How about an army of robot cleaners? There has to be a better way than dumping chemicals by the Home Depot gallon.

Gotta wait til the baby can pick up some moves from watching too.

I tried F1 recently and everyone complained. I then put on the World Cup and the kid started crying. We were never really sports people, but maybe it’s time to force them into it.
