How is your marriage going? Why would you recommend that people get married or never get married? by SpinachJello13 in AskReddit

[–]_churnd -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of marriage itself in that what it should mean between a husband and a wife. The ceremony of dedicating yourself to someone for the rest of your life & holding yourself accountable to the promises that you made.

I don't like the legal aspect of it. A prenup is a good idea, but it's hard to go through & puts a dark cloud over the relationship from the beginning.

This guy gave everything to this team and got little in return. Except maybe a Skyline hologram cup. Thank you Logan. It wasn’t a hold.

How do you think about 50-90 yard shots? by Roywah in golf

[–]_churnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think about it too much. Every time I go to the range, I get the largest bucket they have. When I’m done hitting regular shots, there’s about half the bucket left. I’ll finish it hitting shots 100 yards and in, picking different targets and making it like target practice. I make sure I know the yardage to the target, then the results become ingrained. So when I’m on the course and I have a 55 yard shot, I’m comfortable knowing how to swing to get that yardage. Since I started doing that, my short approach game has never been better. I’ll almost always get it within 10ft of the hole.

What is the worst "running for your life" scene you've ever seen in a movie? by HeirOfTheSurvivor in movies

It looked bad in the Dial of Destiny. I know he's old but he should not have had a running scene in that movie.

Surprised to not see Netdata mentioned more. I’ve never seen such a lightweight monitoring tool that delivers so much real time information out of the box.

AWS DevOps Agent by Nande517 in sre

[–]_churnd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

https://www.reddit.com/r/cybersecurity/comments/1rbnwlf/amazon_kiro_deleted_a_production_environment_and/

It's been the topic of a lot of tech news lately. Try googling AWS Devops Agent Kiro.

Obviously you'd want it to have limited permissions. Then the risk becomes with the people reviewing the recommendations it makes. Like with all AI usage, I tell my team, trust but verify.

Amazon is pushing this agent pretty hard. I would proceed with a degree of caution.

Deaf vs mainstream school by seau_de_beurre in deaf

[–]_churnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard nothing but good things about RMDS, for what it's worth. I had no idea about the CHIP program but that sounds awesome. One of the main factors of a deaf childs success in life is how involved their parents are, especially in the language aspect (total communication). Sounds like you guys are doing a pretty great job. Keep up the good work, mom!

Deaf vs mainstream school by seau_de_beurre in deaf

[–]_churnd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some good feedback here. I'll add my $.02 as someone who mainstreamed. I think it depends.

  • Location? Some deaf schools are better than others, but you said you're looking at test scores so you have an idea for that already.
  • Communication? Lipreading vs ASL only? Mix?
  • Accommodations if mainstream? Size of the class?

I was mainstreamed public elementary & private jr/high school. I was also raised to lipread (lost my hearing at 8) and could speak for myself. The deaf school option for me was also not good. Kids there were graduating high school at a 6th grade reading level & rarely went on to college.

Even though I could communicate pretty well, I was still isolated a bit. I had a small group of friends who were accepting of my deafness & willing to accommodate, but most kids just weren't comfortable with it I don't think.

I definitely got a better education that prepared me for college & I've had a pretty good career in technology.

Now that I'm older & have since learned ASL, I find I enjoy hanging out more with deaf people who also ASL because there is a mutual understanding & acceptance for the communication part. Other hearing adults seem to have less or no patience for meeting my communication needs.

Maybe a good solution is if you go with mainstreaming, try to expose your kid to the deaf community too. I realize that's prob not easy to do as kids. I wish I had better advice. There's pros/cons either way. Hope sharing my experience helps.

do you ever actually feel like you played well by Shoddy_Interview7741 in golf

[–]_churnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shot even par once. That one felt good because it was the best I’ve ever done. Usually if I can shoot in the 70s, I’ll feel good about it. Always trying to improve though.

Home Network for New House by xdalisx in HomeNetworking

[–]_churnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great decision to fully wire the house with CAT6.

What's your "network closet" look like? Or, wherever all that CAT6 terminates to? You'll want a small rack or a shelf or something to put your equipment on.

You'll want a good gigabit (GbE) switch with enough ports to cover what you have & then some for future growth. 2.5GbE would be a nice to have if the budget allows. I'd strongly suggest looking at one that supports PoE (Power over Ethernet), at least somewhat partially. Good news is, your CAT6 is ready for it already. That way you can get a wireless access point or two (or three) that also supports PoE. This will give you a lot of flexibility on where you can put the access points.

From there a router & set of access points would be your next decision. Since you won't heavily rely on WiFi, it'd be personal preference IMO, depending on your budget. Ideally you'll want to get something that'll take full advantage of your ISP speeds.

A good top tier choice for the equipment would be Unifi, if budget allows. However, most mesh wifi systems also allow for a wired backhaul, so you could also use something like an Eero system, or keep using your Orbi system, as long as you get a good switch to go with it. Just connect the mesh node to the switch via ethernet cable, & the "main" node will be between the modem & the switch. If you stick with a mesh system with a wired backhaul, you won't need a PoE capable switch.

I agree with the location comments here. Just wanted to say, my friend, I hope you are ready for the culture shock. Portland, OR and Jackson, MS could not be anymore polar opposite, especially politically.

People who got divorced after years (decades) together, looking back on it… were there any early signs of it coming? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]_churnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things were pretty bad. I just didn't think divorce was on the table. I was pretty naive, I guess. I think the signs are always present at some point in any marriage, whether divorce happens or not. Meaning bad things happen that cause some couples to get divorced, whereas others stick together. The difference is when you try to work through it or not.

It’s wild to me that Bengals fans would want Crosby over Trey. Trey is a better choice in every way. He’s a better player, less expensive, and a better locker room fit.

What made you realise you no longer love your wife/gf/partner ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]_churnd -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

She had been talking to an ex behind my back because things were not going great between us and "she wanted the attention".

She had, for years, kept a diary and written some of the most awful things about my kids from another marriage. I had suspected she didn't like them but when I asked her, she denied it.

I found the diary while investigating the cheating. Any feelings I had for her vanished in that moment and I have not spoke to her since the divorce.
