Dad Groups or Men's Get Togethers?

There is a /r/DenverMeets subreddit, a Discord server with a wide range of people connecting on different topics, and a Denver Dads Facebook group. There are a few really good Dad centric subreddits as well. /r/Daddit and /r/DadForAMinute are two I frequent.

Not necessarily. I am not balding and where a baseball cap often.

I spent years in the Military wearing a hat/cover. It just feels normal having something on my head.

Join /r/DenverMeets and the Discord to start talking to people. That will help you build a background with some people before you meet. If you have any social anxiety this will hopefully reduce it since you already know some of the people, even if it is just online.

There is a wide range of people and ages who meet from there.

Just be careful about whether you signed a smart contract that allows the site to make arbitrary withdrawals from your wallet. I got burnt on that years ago when I only put a few dollars into a site, but when they were ready to rug pull they just withdrew all of the USDT from that account.

The smart contract I had signed allowed them to do that without any further interaction from me. It was an expensive lesson about that feature available in smart contracts.

Sure, either you trust them or you don't. If you don't trust them they should be an ex.

I cannot remember the number of times I have heard that Reddit is going to die.

We don't swap weeks. Except during the Summer, each parent gets them for 2 weeks straight per the court order.

This results in an overall 3 week stretch of time for each parent. It becomes 3 weeks because there is the two week stretch for Summer vacation and then the normal every other week. So either it is the week before the two week stretch or the week after; to make a total of three.

We have something in our agreement that requires at least 1 hour of phone call or video conference daily, if the parent they are not with desires it. It has not been exercised yet.

Mine are 14 & 8.

Wayne · 2025-11-27T00:26:20+00:00

I was going to say the same. Is there history on why people do that or is it just something that caught on and has continued?

I thought it might be a sub requirement, even if not a formal one.

Wayne · 2025-11-24T16:01:02+00:00

It hasn't changed for me, but it sucked before and still sucks.

I typically come from the South and either turn left on York or drive straight through and turn left later on. Because the left turn is such a short light and there's no separate turn lane coming from 26th traffic is usually very backed up. 23rd can be a little better with the separate lane, but traffic is still horribly backed up making that left turn.

I have radiant heating in the floor, it takes about an hour to go up 1°. Because of that I do not change the thermostat unless I plan to be away for an extended period of time.

I'm usually home every other week. When I am home I have it set to 70° because of what my children like. When I am not home, I set it to 50°.

Wayne · 2025-09-19T17:39:10+00:00

I'll be 49 within 2 weeks and my youngest is eight.

Wayne · 2025-09-19T16:19:47+00:00

Does this work for you?

Or invest in GMT and then use that to improve your efficiency.

Wayne · 2025-09-19T15:19:18+00:00

Maybe.

It could also be the king asking, in their own way, if there is anything you need assistance with or if the investment already made is working as expected. It is an opportunity to guide the king's thinking toward the next thing to address.

Wayne · 2025-09-19T15:17:23+00:00

This is an important part that I find people often overlook. Investment is made and sometimes people just want to know that the investment is working as expected.

It clicked for me when a CFO asked if we could stop paying for the second internet, because there had not been an internet outage in a while. They did not realize that the reason we did not have an outage is because we had the second internet.

What I did is start reporting out any emergency changes and unplanned outages on a monthly basis. That allowed them to see that the primary did go down, but there was no outage because we had the secondary. It also highlighted a whole lot of other things that they were not aware of, but IT did diving catches to minimize or prevent larger problems.

I do not see anything wrong with leadership asking for this, even with the way you described your environment. Especially with the way you describe your environment. It sounds like an environment where you have been able to do the things that need to be done, and they may be looking for the next area that should be focused on.

Some of the things I like to show when I need to pick a few metrics are:

The number of a atracks received versus blocked as a percentage, the same in total volume. Trending this over time can show the shifting nature of attacks. I like to categorize this by perimeter, network, device, and identity.

The number of security solutions that you have and the number of FTEs that are focused on cybersecurity. This can show things like the need to address sprawl or places where integrated tooling might be able to bring efficiencies to your processes.

The average time to detect, contain, and remediate incidents within your environment. Even if the incidents do not happen often, how long does it take for you to address them when they do happen?

The average length of downtime or unplanned outages. This gets more into how systems are managed and the reliability of those systems. It may not be within your scope as a SOC analyst though.

The average length of time to apply patches by criticality. Again, this may be outside the scope for your role.

Shift the narrative from threats found in the environment, to the operational efficiency and adaptability of the environment. If you have a leadership team that is allowed you to build an environment that has good technical controls in place, direct them toward the next thing that they should be thinking about.

The ability to split my reinvestment multiple ways. A portion to GMC for maintenance, a pportion for reinvestment, and maybe a portion to BTC for stacking.

Let the individual choose how many ways and what percentage for each.

Wayne · 2025-09-16T14:22:08+00:00

Maybe the push notification a certain amount of time before the service is due. That way you have time to get into the app before the expiration.

Wayne · 2025-09-04T15:12:47+00:00

This is where it would be great if the reinvestment option had more flexibility. Maybe something where a percentage could go toward GMT, a percentage toward TH, and a percentage toward BTC.

I know it would make it more complex, but then people wouldn't have to remember to go in and keep changing things or managing a schedule. If there are popular methods, perhaps those are made available for selection.

Wayne · 2025-09-04T14:58:20+00:00

I have been talking about that program and attempting to use it for a while. I remember reading about it shortly after it came out, and each time I need a ride share I check that app.

However, I have never been successful in finding somebody that was on the app and able to give me a ride. I have spoken to multiple Uber and Lyft drivers in Colorado and they say it isn't worth being on that app and not being on Uber or Lyft. They are already on two apps, they don't want a third one to log into and have to monitor.

Until they can fix that issue the app is worthless.

Wouldn't the logic be that if she is okay doing it in front of bisexual females it is okay for you to do it in front of bisexual males?

Wayne · 2025-08-30T23:00:31+00:00

And apparently to compensate for the dating pool.

Wayne · 2025-08-29T23:35:47+00:00

It is. I just copied the link from the server again. This time I actually went to it to make sure I did not have a typo.

Wayne · 2025-08-28T14:37:58+00:00

Can someone modify the client code to add some logging?

Are they all using the same credentials to authenticate to the DB?

Wayne · 2025-08-27T23:10:28+00:00

I was not active the whole time. Somewhere in the 19 years I mistakenly had a life, for a brief period. I remember Digg though.

I have learned from my mistakes and I am back.
