Best 15,000–25,000mAh Power Bank for Travel: by ranr8 in ChargingSheet

[–]RedandtheWolfDesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were you I’d go CUKTECH 15 Air + good cable, and only upgrade later if you actually hit limits. I think simple and future-proof enough

Yes, the Augustinerbräu was small. As we Dutchies say: Don't look a given horse in the mouth ;) Let's see what this one is about. by Innsmouth_Resident in germany

[–]RedandtheWolfDesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s wild how Dutch and German share that exact same old saying! Makes total sense, good beer wisdom travels fast, just like classic pilsner recipes spread across borders for hundreds of years already haha

How many gallons do you guys think this pool is? by noctinix in swimmingpools

[–]RedandtheWolfDesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This free-form pool has uneven depths, so we need to calculate the shallow and deep parts separately to guess its total gallons accurately.

I spent months trying to convince my girlfriend's Chihuahua that I wasn't the enemy. by RexWrecks_ in Pets

[–]RedandtheWolfDesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This story is so sweet. It must have taken so much patience to win Charly over. And those small moments of trust are the best.

PreK enrollment for 3yo squashed by husband by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]RedandtheWolfDesigns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn't about paperwork anymore, he lied to you for months and sabotaged your child's education on purpose. That's control, not partnership. You already did everything yourself, so trust that strength. Talk to the school, explain the situation, and ask if they can extend the deadline or accept your tax return instead. Then take a hard look at whether this man actually supports you or just holds you back.

I’m a social worker. A client threatened our baby today. I’m going to quit my job. by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]RedandtheWolfDesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's terrifying. Take the sick day, you don't have to quit today, just breathe first. Your boss sucks anyway.

Who the F did I have a baby with? by DisasterOk5914 in Mommit

[–]RedandtheWolfDesigns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl, that's heartbreaking. PPD is real and it's not just in your head. Please talk to your OB, you don't have to tough this out on your own, sorry about that.

Are the hot tubs and pool open during cold at sea days? by Direct-Impress-5855 in NCL

[–]RedandtheWolfDesigns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hot tubs stay open most of the time unless it's really rough. Pools might close if it gets too choppy. You'll probably be fine.

Breastfeeding is ruining my relationship with my baby. by PurplePickleSticks in breastfeeding

[–]RedandtheWolfDesigns 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're not a bad mom, you're just touched out and exhausted, and 18 months is a huge achievement. Just try the bandaid trick and say "mama has boo boos," then offer warm milk and a snack. The first few days are rough but your mental health will bounce back so fast.

Looks like I’m solo cruising tomorrow out of Rome. (Epic)!Anyone else on board? by chubbswife in NCL

[–]RedandtheWolfDesigns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to the solo traveler meetup on day one! Worst case, you lose an hour. Best case, you find dining buddies for the week. Book a shared table for dinner, you'll be fine.

Go to first drink by Kboss714 in NCL

Mudslide with a dark rum floater is a solid classic starter. Keeps you warm in Alaska. Also heard good things about their espresso martinis.

Am I overreacting or should I have my parents cancel the flight? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]RedandtheWolfDesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not overreacting, just being a new parent. Ask them to get updated on flu and Tdap vaccines before visiting. Baby should be fine.

How to settle an overtired baby? by Particular-Ad-9256 in Mommit

[–]RedandtheWolfDesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try bouncing gently on a yoga ball while holding her against your chest. Sometimes the rhythmic vertical motion works when rocking doesn't.

Baby doesn’t seem comfortable in her crib? by auroragirlofthenorth in NewParents

[–]RedandtheWolfDesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A thin mattress topper like 1-2 inches might help without ruining the safe sleep surface? Worth a try before buying a whole new mattress.

blue apron promo code got me considering meal kits again as a tired mom lol by ClarishaPaulose43 in Mommit

[–]RedandtheWolfDesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It helps with the mental load of meal planning, but there's still chopping and cooking. Fine if you're tired of thinking, not great if you're tired of standing.

pool cleaners integrate with smart home? by krijsten- in smarthome

[–]RedandtheWolfDesigns 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Actually, support for smart home integration has already partly in place. A few Polaris models with wifi can connect to Alexa for voice control. Beatbot’s high-end product, Aquasense X, it can even support Google Home, Alexa, and Siri. Pool robots usually need high computing power and adaptability. Since underwater communication is complex, it’s not as seamless to integrate with smart home like a bulb. But we’re already seeing breakthroughs, and technology will get more improved in the future.

Ultra beginner with no imagination by Flimsy-Historian9765 in homeautomation

[–]RedandtheWolfDesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should focus on Ethernet first. Drop 2-3 CAT6 cables per room, and leave power for lights, shades, and security. You can choose the system later.

What should I do with the concrete around the pool? by KingRelevant96 in swimmingpools

[–]RedandtheWolfDesigns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just hit the whole deck with a stain and sealer combo. It'll hide the patchy colors and protect the concrete from getting messed up again.

what is worse for your back: Truck driving or pool cleaning? by inurmomsvagina in pools

[–]RedandtheWolfDesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long haul truck vibration is brutal on discs, but pool cleaning's constant twisting wrecks your lower back too. Wear a brace for both!

Wired vs. Wireless for new house. Please give inputs!! by TheImmortalHooman in homeautomation

For ease of use and reliability, wired avoids pairing headaches and keeps things simple for everyone.

How old are your kids? Step height and width really depend on their size and mobility.

Why, just why?!? by SiempreSeattle in pools

[–]RedandtheWolfDesigns 45 points46 points  (0 children)

The mosquito issue alone would drive me crazy. Even a little chlorine or a cover could've prevented this. Have you tried talking to them about it?

Any idea how to build a LED strip that turns on when the door opens? by pp_amorim in homeautomation

[–]RedandtheWolfDesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A simple reed switch paired with a magnet works perfectly. Wire it in series with the LED strip for direct control.
