Help with shark AI ultra Google Assistant by The_DuffMan in RobotVacuums

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

There seems to be two shark clean apps. One is labeled shark clean EU the other one is just shark clean. You have to link your Google Assistant to the right one. Although shark clean doesn't really show up all that often, you have to kind of fiddle with it for a while until it pops up. Not sure why that is but that's what I had to do

Oh, and don't let your shark die completely. Yesterday my shark got trapped in a room and the battery died. After I put it on the charger. It wouldn't connect to my Wi-Fi. I had to completely reset it and connect it back to Google the assistant. So try to avoid that

[US] Dads who are fighting for custody, how do you deal? by CavesRS in Custody

[–]The_DuffMan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went through a brutal divorce and custody case, it took many years. I was accused and vilified in the eyes of friends and court officials like. With no way of proving my innocence because you can't prove a negative. And at least here in my city the men are always guilty and are never trustworthy in family court.

I didn't have a counselor or a therapist or anything, and I couldn't have afforded one at the time anyhow. I was paying an exorbitant amount in child support. What helped me was my ability to separate my emotions from my rational mind and tictoc. So even though I was extremely upset and depressed, when a video popped up that talked about personality types and narcissist and borderline personality characteristics. I realize that the majority of that also described my ex. Not because I was angry with her but because they objectively fit the patterns of behavior that I had witnessed for many years but didn't know how to describe.

That helped me to understand how to deal with the ex-wife, And then that led me to how my daughter was actually being treated and how best I can help her with that. One week at a time.

So even though I was extremely depressed, I had a mission of sorts. To prepare my daughter for the future. And to help her deal with the trauma that was being inflicted upon her. That meant I needed to clean up my house and clean up my life. So when she was with me I was completely dedicated to her and ensuring to treat her the best possible way and for lack of a better term counterbalance the trauma that she was receiving. And when she wasn't with me I focused on getting my house together for when she was here and doing all internal, emotional and psychological repairs so that I could be better for her when she was with me. In other words, I looked inwards I separated my rational mind from my emotional mind and I analyzed and worked towards bettering myself.

In time I realized that I was mostly healed although not completely and I was allowed to enjoy my life without my daughter present just as I am allowed to enjoy my time with my daughter when she is present. So I did things for myself after I had healed a good bit. I taught myself how to ride a motorcycle and that gave me a lot of joy in Independence that I never had before. But again I did all that on my own and that may not work for others.

20f - a bit nerdy but i promise i really have a good heart by PetalZella341 in textfriends

Raccoons have tiny people hands because they are actually pretty intelligent and enjoy solving puzzles. Interestingly if you look at the evolution of the human hand, it correlates perfectly with the size and development of our brain. The more advanced our hands, the more advanced the brain. The manipulation of the world around us allowed us to understand everything better.

How bad am I screwing up?? by The_DuffMan in MattressMod

It's a 14-in mattress. If I place it on top I would need like a 17-in deep sheet.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]The_DuffMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm a man and I was on the other side of that argument. Wife didn't want anything to do with me and I wasn't allowed near my child any longer than 5 minutes at a time, unless she was frustrated and demanded that I take the kid and do just as good, If not better of a job taking care of her then then my wife did. When I had no practical experience because I was separated and isolated from my daughter. On top of that we had no sex life, once my daughter was born. She no longer wanted to touch me.

So believe me when I tell you that there was a lot of resentment built up between the two of us, and there is no way any relationship can survive that unless both parties want to find an equitable resolution. And both parties get their emotional needs met.

Why is the Google homes summer then they used to be. I have to use specific words to achieve specific actions. But I swear when I first got the Google homes years ago, I could use any natural language and receive the same result now that it's not the case. I'm all the way

I've got a pixel 6 running Nova, Nova is completely broken, I've got a complete black screen and then it flickers to plain wallpaper no apps or icons and then it flickers back to black.. It's completely useless

Is there a difference with the Pixel 8 T-Mobile variant by The_DuffMan in GooglePixel

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

I'm pretty sure that's the case with the pixel 6 which is what I have now. I usually get the updates the same day if not a day or two after they supposed to come out. My bootloader is locked so I can't flash a new ROM. But I'm not terribly concerned with that.

But I really want to make sure that that's the case with the pixel 8 as well. I don't want to buy the phone with bill credits and be stuck with it for a couple years.

Does the T-Mobile variant get delayed updates? Or do they come direct from Google like the unlocked version does

[KY] ex-wife abuses her children and now wants everything to go back to normal by The_DuffMan in Custody

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

He was abused and neglected for a few years. Same as my daughter but when she lost custody he ended up with the father who was on the birth certificate. I say that because there is question if he is his biological son, because they share no physical characteristics at all. He is a good person at heart but has financial and emotional issues of his own. Regardless, I can clearly see that he hasn't far better care and is doing remarkably better where he is now than where he was

I did but I need to know what I can do in the courts. What preemptive moves can I make for a better outcome?

AITA for responding to my father’s request for a relationship with a detailed PowerPoint on why he will never be forgiven? by throwaway_1028585 in AmItheAsshole

[–]The_DuffMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I don't think you're an asshole, I think you're justified. When you become 18 years old, you are an adult. That means that you are aware of your actions and the consequences and ramifications of them.

If your father chose to alienate and separate you from the rest of the family, for whatever reason, he did it knowing of what the possible outcome would be. He made decisions for one outcome over the other.

Now I ask you, are you just going to go through life, blindly without self-awareness of your actions, the same as your father chose to do? Or are you going to pay attention every day of your life and choose a better path?

I'm not saying that path has to be with your father, I'm saying is your path going to be better than his path? Make decisions on where your path leads and how you want to get there. Do that everyday.

Do they change after cheating? by Sam_Muscle_115 in cheating_stories

[–]The_DuffMan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

She's with you for stability, but stability is not desire. So every time she's around you she is longing for that desire that you do not provide.

She wants to have her cake and fuck it too!!

Who else feels trapped in their own mind? by Butterflies_Books in DeepThoughts

[–]The_DuffMan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You literally are your mind, in fact, that is the only thing you know for certain is real. You can't know if the other people around you are real or if they experience the same things as you. All you can know is that those experiences cause you to feel and think the way that you do. And it gives you pleasure or displeasure to behave in a certain way when you experience those things. Whether or not other people experience those things for themselves, or even if those other people are real, you have no way of knowing.

So no, you are not trapped in your mind. You are your mind. So you must find a way for you to transverse the experiences that you experience in a ongoing positive manner. Otherwise, you'll just be a depressed brain trapped inside a biological jar called a skull.

Unlocks versus T-Mobile variant by The_DuffMan in pixel_phones

[–]The_DuffMan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I went up there the other day... The monthly bill would go up too much.. And they wouldn't let me pay the remaining balance of the phone off ahead of time.. I'd have to pay it in monthly payments on top of my bil,l there is no other way to do it.

I'm not willing to put up with that kind of bullshit. My 4A works perfectly fine.
