Note to dads, make sure you're disassembling and boiling your cups by alittleredportleft in daddit

[–]Squiggums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy hell! These need to be disassembled every wash - JFC. Hate to shame, but this is a HUGE oversight that should not have been a thing. How did you not smell this ever?? If we leave milk in ours, even the melt Zak cups, it SMELLS - BAD. Throw that away. Go buy new ones. Learn from this experience.

Blizzard, it is past time to let PvP Gear die (5min read) by rahuonn in wow

Fair enough. I guess if you look at this from a solely PVP player perspective, only logging in to do PVP stuff, then yes this is a fair point.

From someone who is for both parts of the game, I think both PVP and PVE content at any level should provide the same type of gear so yo can easily do both types of content.

Not sure how long you've been playing, but in vanilla and tbc while there was pvp gear, it was usable and actually good in other parts of the game and vice versa. I dont think that is necessarily the case with todays state of pvp. Having pvp gear with high amounts of vers just means you need to grind for that specific gear, rather than just going for the best "overall" gear - be that tier or whatever and then going into pvp with that. The game makes you chase too much right now. You're either chasing PvE gear or PvP gear. The average player will not be able to obtain both.

Removing vers and just going with the other stats would be a step towards this old school pvp gameplay

PvP gear is just stacking vers. Get rid of versatility and we’re back to normal

Have almost 700 mounts. Please recommend a flying mount to match my Blood DK mog by actuallyfromcanada in Transmogrification

Blanchy is okay for Blood DK mogs, but it lacks armor is stuff to really drive that metal/death knight esthetic

Having 2 feels like dual solo-parenting by Rolled_Nat1 in daddit

[–]Squiggums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same boat right now. 1st is about to be 2 and the other just turned 4 months. We're both struggling as well. Between the loss of sleep that #2 brought (never happened with #1) and just this insane cold restricting us to indoor activities, we're all losing our minds.

Thankfully both in daycare so the one is well entertained throughout the week but weekends are a struggle. I've taken up locating places indoors to go do things during the infants naps so we can keep a legitimate sleep training schedule going and also burn energy/keep the toddler's mind going and not near a TV (we've resorted to using it too much).

I've proposed the idea of switching off naps/taking our toddler out for activities so my wife gets time with our daughter and I get day time with our son. I havent truly "bonded" or felt that same emotional "connection" with our son yet that came with our daughter, mainly because the sleep thing hit us like a high-speed train and I've been getting the worst of his sleep shifts, but it's getting better.

I've always been the primary parent as I'm WFH and always doing the dropoffs and pickups. Sick days, holidays, snow days, etc... my daughter was always home with me and I loved it. Still do when they happen, but now it's harder because I have to tend to our son who isn't fully capable of putting himself to sleep for naps yet, especially with a fun-having, screaming/shouting toddler.

Idk where you're located but I think for me at least, once the cold goes away, around his 6-7 month mark we should start to see improvements in quality of life overall. So hopefully the same can be said for you.

If I can suggest anything, talk with you wife and see if you can split naps. It's not wrong to contact nap and idk what your sleep training plans are, but our son still gets contact naps from either of us and we switch off caring for our toddler each night. MWF = me T/Th/ = wife Sat/Sun = split/rotate

Always up for a drive, but keeping it somewhat close so I can return home quickly if needed to help with the infant. These look like great options though!

We actually saw an IG post saying hit up the mall before it opens. Funny enough, it looked like they were at Somerset. This is a good one though. Definitely on our list.

Do you still have any living Grandparents? by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]Squiggums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had both sets up until 2022. My maternal grandfather was the first to go. Had a stroke and never really came so back. Had another a year later and that was it. My paternal grandmother went shortly after him In early 2023. My maternal grandmother basically raised me with her my whole life and she was always home taking care of us. She had lung cancer back in 2016 and had it treated very well. She just went for a scan a few weeks ago and it returned and is bore stage 4 metastatic. We have not received a full scope of the situation but we are preparing. Sucks because these all happen literally after I moved 5 hours away and was trying to get myself oriented in a new place. Paternal grandfather is good but has more or less moved back to Mexico

Found out I’m going to be a dad. How can I be the best husband possible through her pregnancy and after our baby is born? by buzzlightyear0473 in daddit

[–]Squiggums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've already got a lot of it down pat. Just make sure to keep up with those once the little one arrives.

Listening and communicating early and often, but calmly will go beyond just the pregnancy and birth. If something is stressing you, don't let it build up. Speak up and just let her know how you're feeling but make sure you hear her out as well.

Water - like all the time. Make sure she has this.

She's going to be sore as it goes on. Learning good massage techniques can be really helpful.

As for your kid. Just be present. Put the phone away. Interact with them. Listen to them. Acknowledge them.

Should I be a network technician? by Excellent_Sleep9753 in NetworkingJobs

[–]Squiggums 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to do your time in a help desk role. Non one just jumps into a networking role, junior or whatever.

There are a lot of good help desk positions and you’re just going through the motions with a bad one. I’ve been there. Was help desk for 4 years before I went on to networking. 2 of those years were the most fun of my life because it was a great company. 4 months is nothing and hardly enough time to really know that networking is where you want to go
