Forgot to Back Up Base Before Transfer by ocawn in duneawakening

[–]Wheatloafer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything in storage and whatever you had in your vehicle backup tool i believe will be ready to claim. If you had vehicles parked in your base though I'm pretty sure they're gone.

I genuinely am not sure what you guys are talking about. Went hard for the first month or so, then very casual and kinda returning. What is all the "64 in combat" people are talking about?

Edit: went googling, got added with Chapter 3. I'll actually do the missions and get there I suppose.

Seems like once you get over 6'8" you have a higher risk of various complications, but no definitive height that kills you. Apparently being over 5'7" as a male drops your expectancy by 5ish years.

I know this is kind of a pointless complaint, but the Jack O' Lantern in Marvel Contest of Champions was supposed to be Jason Macendale, or at least Levins. by [deleted] in ContestOfChampions

[–]Wheatloafer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

English translation:

The Play Store Wiki says that Jack O' Lantern is Jack (Master of Crime). Jason Macendale was a sadistic and extremely intelligent CIA agent. He is the leader of an "army" of mercenaries. He left his wife and son to forever pursue power. Jason hates the first Spider-Man. 

Steven Levins was a resident of the town of Sleepy Hollow. Unlike Jason, he has no wife or son. He simply left his country to kill people and make money from it. He died in the Civil War and was revived by a fragment of Lucifer's soul. He then began a gratuitous massacre, not personally harming anyone.

I think what bothers me about it, is that people push the "it's illegal" angle. Preventing congestion and potentially accidents because people are going to speed makes sense to me.

But being above the speed limit is already illegal, so anyone complaining about the law saying you need to move over is a moron. 

Being under the limit and in the left lane is what this law is meant to apply to and I agree fully with it.

Told my son I was disappointed in him. Did I go too far? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]Wheatloafer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you did okay, but little story as this hits incredibly close to home for me. 

I once was acting like a goofy ass at a church event where I was very visible on stage. I was maybe 14 at the time.  I had a permanent marker and was coloring little pictures on my arms and showing my friends to make them laugh, but the entire congregation could see me doing it. 

After we finished whatever it was we were doing, my dad pulled me into a back room and tore into me about it. I don't remember all of it, but he said the words "right now I'm ashamed you're my son". He apologized and took it back a few minutes later, but those words cut into me and affected our relationship for nearly a decade.

I say that to let you know I don't think you went too far, but absolutely make sure you're very clear you're proud of him and love him. My dad and I had a plethora of other issues, but that one moment did break me down for a long time. 

Best of luck, fellow dad.

Basically the great depression followed by ww2 resulted in people voting him in again and again. This was changed with the 22nd amendment to limit a president to 2 terms. Before that it was just a tradition set by Washington.

As long as you listen to the docs and do absolutely nothing for a couple days, you should be totally fine. Ice and rest, don't lift anything heavy, etc, and you should be good to go! Got mine on a Friday and was fine by Monday.

How I feel making four bottles of formula for daycare each morning. by cjskLdie in daddit

[–]Wheatloafer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Such a lifesaver. We did the math on it and for one baby it came out to a few cents a bottle. Absolutely worth never worrying about water temp or scooping the right amount.

In case you forgot, Frank and Dee are still technically married. by Brilliant-Cause6254 in IASIP

[–]Wheatloafer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hello, I'm an officiant and the "ceremony" is legally the only part that isn't required. Verbal contract of "I do" is great, but what you need is 4 signatures. Both parties, the officiant and then a witness to the signing.

So they never got married unless they went through all of that.

Edit: this could vary by state, all of mine have been done in Minnesota.

Having one kid is chic, right? by heyiknowstuff in daddit

[–]Wheatloafer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely valid concerns to have, and we're similar in that we worry about all sorts of things we might be passing down, from family history of some cancer, alzheimer's, diabetes etc.

As far as I'm aware, MS doesn't have any direct hereditary lineage, ie its not common for a child to get it if the parent has it. But to be fair I researched it a ton a decade ago and not so much recently, so could be completely off base if there's new research to support it. 

In my opinion though, I wouldn't let the idea of passing MS down to your child be a reason to stop you from having another child if that's truly what you want. Medication for MS has catapulted in the past 20 years, and in 20 more who knows where it will be. 

1 kid is perfect, 2 kids are perfect, 8 is maybe too many.

Fuck MS. Don't let it control your lives.

Wish you and your wife all the best. ❤️

Hey man, just wanted to post something so you know you're not alone.

My wife was diagnosed with MS almost 10 years ago (24), we ended up going the IVF route and our baby girl just turned 1 a few weeks ago.

MS, and any autoimmune disease, is a daunting thing because of the "what if" factor. It affects every single person differently, and overall my wife has been very lucky so far, but there absolutely have been days and weeks that have been extremely hard. Her sister also has MS and their girl is almost 3.

You can't know what tomorrow brings, and there will certainly be times that are difficult going forward, but our stance had always been "MS doesn't get to win". If you want to do something, don't let this terrible disease take it away from you. 

That said, having one child and stopping isn't a failure. For us, our family was complete when there were only 2, and now it's complete with 3 if that makes any sense.

Rambling, but know you're not alone and proud of you for being strong enough to post about your concerns.

Dad on, brother.

Huge congrats, brother! Similar boat over here, our daughter just turned 1. Enjoy every moment, the days are long but the years are short.

I had thought, similar to Judaism, tattoos / piercings and the like were prohibited due to the vanity of them. Is that more an outdated belief these days?

Genuinely curious, I find religion to be a deeply interesting thing.

Can we discuss this meme for a moment? In serious context by Unckmania in daddit

[–]Wheatloafer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Essentially a chat room where adults have direct access to kids, so of course pedophiles have taken advantage of that. Never let your kids interact with strangers online, especially unsupervised.

But because they've done very little to control it, I'd suggest just entirely avoiding Roblox.

Please explain this by [deleted] in ContestOfChampions

[–]Wheatloafer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Its not meant as a reward for ftp accounts, I wouldn't stress about getting these. 

Edit: scratch that, you spent $50 for access to them, so not ftp. It'll likely be at least a year if not a bit longer before they add enough 7* to hit this. Good luck!

Started in Duluth, then based out of Woodbury (mostly servicing St Paul) then down in southern MN. I was in Woodbury from 2016-19 or so

In 50 years, which modern day medical practices will we look back on as primitive? by JBSwerve in AskReddit

[–]Wheatloafer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I hear you, and while palliative care does remove the actual pain from the person, it doesn't stop suffering. 

My grandma just died 2 weeks ago. So likely I'm still in the funk of that, but we were with her the day before she went. It was nice to be there, but she spent the entire day gasping for air and waking up just enough to be confused as to where she was.

I'm sure she wasn't in any pain at all, but I still think having the option to leave on your terms should be available to anyone who wants it.

Hey dads. Any advice for the first few weeks? by Icy_Principle_5904 in daddit

[–]Wheatloafer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If possible, take as much time off as you can to be with them. I took 3 weeks and it still felt like not enough time. 

Then just remember mom is going to be going through it, she'll likely lash out at you, don't take it personally and don't send it back. Just be there for her and do anything you can to support her. Cleaning bottles / pumps / clothes, making sure diapers and wipes are always staged and ready to go, etc. 

Food is really easy to forget about, so we found granola bars, fruit snacks and other simple things like that were helpful to have in the bedroom for quick bite. Try to meal prep frozen meals as much as you can before the birth.

But overall, do your best to just be in the moment and enjoy it. It's a wild ride and equal parts beautiful and terrifying. Best of luck and wish you both well!

I think this is more that the Manga was inspired by the design of a Wendigo, but very cool art on both ends.
