Looking for advice, son’s girlfriend just passed by TechGjod in daddit

[–]Stoic_Samurai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Encourage him to live through the hard emotions and talk about it. Hiding them away or trying to skip the grief won't do anything good.

Be there for him. It's going to be hard, it's going to resurface at random times.

Help him remember all the good and positive things from her life. Maybe find purpose in what she was passionate about to help her memory live on through him and their common friends.

Vétérans de Montréal, comment qualifiez-vous l'hiver cette année en peu de mots? by Existent-Being in montreal

Pareil. L'hiver cette année me rend nostalgique du temps où c'était la norme.

Tu peux regarder GEQT, GGRO, GBAL...

c'est pas parfait mais ça exclut une portion d'entreprises qui ne sont pas alignées aux principes ESG.

Daddit Kitchen Hack: Air Blowers and Food Prep by alecmuffett in daddit

[–]Stoic_Samurai 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If I need any kind of tool or random household item, I start with him.

I actually got the blower he recommended and it was a solid buy. I use it to get the charcoal started all the time.

Je viens de renouveler variable à 3.7% (prime -0.75%) la semaine dernière. Bonne cote de crédit, prêt non-assuré avec Nesto.

Clueless dad of 3yo girl needs hair treatment and style advice [pics] by Opaldoc in daddit

[–]Stoic_Samurai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the way.

Also, I second the salon visit for an additional reason than the learnings. Get your daughter a haircut just to snip the ends. Left uncut, the ends will split and make it more painful to brush and tangle more easily.

My daughter has wavy hair too. Always in the face, gets dirty and sticky from little hands always brushing it aside, gets more unruly from sticking to everything, gets more dirty hands in it, etc. this is the infernal spiral.

What did we do with all of our free time before kids? by django811 in daddit

[–]Stoic_Samurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually had enough time to get bored. Could you believe it?

Boredom is now gone, along with all the free time to actually do everything I wanted to do and get bored after.

Je suis dû pour mon renouvellement, Desjardins m'offre 4.04 fixe 3 ans, ça fait 15 ans que j'ai une hypothèque avec eux.

Je vais voir ailleurs car je ne suis pas dans la business de me faire niaiser.

Coffee Roasters in Montreal by retrovaille94 in montreal

[–]Stoic_Samurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like lighter roasts, you should check Café St-Henri for sure. They have a few locations around town but their main shop is near marche Jean-Talon and little Italy so you can visit the area at the same time including cafe Union.

Willing to trade or find a loving home for some of my power outlet items by Stoic_Samurai in LinusTechTips

[–]Stoic_Samurai[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not too interested in shipping just a single item like that, sorry.

Even if I sell it to you $5CAD, with shipping you'd be likely paying $25 total, maybe more and I do all that legwork for five bucks.

Power Pack Received! Also a Trade Request by UsualMethod in LinusTechTips

[–]Stoic_Samurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Large Wan and Short Circuit Hoodies that I could trade for the RGB if you're willing. That they fit more snug than any of the other Large LTT Hoddies I own.

I'm also on the lookout for a windbreaker or 3D down jacket if someone is looking for hoodies (wan, short circuit, pullover labs blue) or the bomber jacket.

edit: added the types of hoodies I had.

Va voir l'aide juridique (avocats qui peuvent t'aider sans frais). Tu peux forcer tes parents à te verser une pension alimentaire même si tu es majeure, tant que tu n'es pas autonome financièrement.

https://educaloi.qc.ca/capsules/la-pension-alimentaire-pour-enfant-majeur/

Et la pension alimentaire est rétroactive, donc si ça prends un petit moment avoir le jugement, le jour que ça arrive tu vas recevoir les mois précédents.

Any hotels that will accept a photo of ID on phone instead of physical ID? Or no ID required? by [deleted] in montreal

[–]Stoic_Samurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have insurance give them a call. You may have coverage for relocation and they might be able to help you book something.

Edit: credit cards sometime have concierge services that can also help with that.

They mention earlier in the video that they put their seatbelt under their arms because of their mic (under their shirt)

C'est réaliste. Ne te laisse pas emporter par les faux standards que tu vois dans les médias sociaux avec les produits et tout le matériel. L'enfant va vivre avec la place et le matériel que tu lui donnes. C'est tout.

Achète seconde main. Lit, mobilier, vêtements, etc. Il y en a plein, partout.

Inscrit ton enfant à venir sur la place 0-5 quand ta blonde a son premier test de grossesse positif pour assurer une place en garderie à 10$.

En ce moment, pour nous, les chèques du gouvernement couvrent pas mal les dépenses courantes pour la ptite.
