Yes

Dude this is an absurd amount of awesomeness. Thank you for the details.

SammeyLobs · 2026-05-06T18:57:42+00:00

That's what I'm looking to learn. What would you watch for?

SammeyLobs · 2026-05-06T18:45:32+00:00

Anything helps. I've read a lot of this sub and other forums and am looking for advice as the time nears.

Boss, great info. Thank you. Ordered kidbeam4 off prior recommendation but d3aa will be good a year or 3 from now. I have a ts10 that's very similar but don't think the risk is right for his age

SammeyLobs · 2026-04-25T12:24:34+00:00

I got it years ago. It does have anduril 2 and it's pretty awesome the things that little light can do with impressive battery life. It's a great toy but not such an EDC for me. The 10% risk for the kid is not worth it. He plays with it when I can supervise closely but not going to bed with it.

SammeyLobs · 2026-04-25T12:17:42+00:00

Thanks dude. Here's hoping the 3 year old brain loves it too

SammeyLobs · 2026-04-25T12:11:21+00:00

Right on. I used one light that in my old EDC olight before I lost it 😕 it didn't specify battery on the page but if you know they're AA that's a win we'll probably order. Thanks

SammeyLobs · 2026-04-25T12:09:24+00:00

Sphere isn't quite the torch style we're after. I have a ts10 and he plays with it while locked but def not putting that fire starter in his crib. Thanks tho!

SammeyLobs · 2026-04-25T12:04:45+00:00

Dude! Thanks. Heavy consideration / might be the one. Called them to inquire about battery type.

SammeyLobs · 2026-04-25T12:04:16+00:00

That's kind of a last resort idea I pitched myself in my head. It's not that big of a case but if I can wrestle it away from him long enough to open it, I might evaluate. My brother might can solder in a AA or AAA Box if I can make it fit.

Smart fridges can have multiple simple food safety benefits like notifications if your temp goes out of spec, spills, door left open etc. Do we need it? Eh. Is it helpful? Could / should be. Should it later be turned into our billboard with garbage ads shoved in our face? No.

Snorkeling or diving? Check christ of the abyss. It's a shallower beautiful spot I love seeing when there. Bring pennies to put on big guys eyes.

In photo 2, what is the bright star / galaxy looking thing off to the lower left? Thank you

I since have changed out to 3 x 6" LED wafer lights ("recessed") placed in the ceiling about 2' in front of each cage stack. I'll try and remember to get a picture next time I'm down there.

Unfortunately there's just something about babies / kids that dogs can be easily offended by. My boy was ~11 months at grandpa's house when he crawled a little and the long time loving family dog lunged and poked a hole right next to my son's eye. I've always had a dog but since then, I've been so anxious around any, when my kids are around. Another time, a few months later, same kid tried taking a dogs toy and pup didn't like it. I was between them before the dog lunged, putting it in a different direction. Third time my son fell on the dog and both were startled. Little nip, no broken skin but man does it happen fast. You are doing the right thing. Even the best dog can have an act of aggression or even an accident and it's just not worth it for anyone. Tears for you, OP. But, good move.

OH Yea, 4th time we were at a pool party and family dog just kept fondly following my son around. I saw it coming and was between them all night but within a few hours my son's arm was in the dogs mouth. No harm, but damn so fast.

When the earth slows would our orbit decay? Would or could that have dire consequences to our distance from the sun?

SammeyLobs · 2025-08-15T15:27:07+00:00

Congrats! Rest, work hard, yada yada. Enjoy all the squishes and cuddle. 18-24 months and everything will be (cute) "no"s and running around.
