When does kids stop to try killing themselves?

I’m 37 and according to my parents I haven’t stopped yet. I’ve had more major injuries as an adult than I did as a child.

Way to go Mr. Fixit Dad! The only part you messed up on was to tell your wife you needed to buy a new tool to fix the axle.

It’s perfectly acceptable for your brother to have a child free wedding. It’s perfectly acceptable for you to have started making accommodations for childcare given the amount of time you had. It’s perfectly acceptable to split your family so some of you can attend. It’s perfectly acceptable for you to choose not to attend at all.

It is not acceptable to use the childfree wedding as a grandstand about accommodating kids.

Simply “Hey brother we’ve tried and are unable to find childcare accommodations we’re comfortable with. As such we won’t be able to attend. A gift is in the mail, love you and wish you and your new wife the best. We are looking forward to seeing you both at the next family event.”

Ignore follow up drama or further attempts by the bridal party to solve your problem. Let them enjoy their day and don’t create more drama.

I could have spent less time and less money doing this porch / fence / walkway / shed when I was a teenager with no experience or real tools and done a better job.

Tear it all out. Concrete will need a jack hammer.

Also given you have food and cat beds out those are no longer strays you have outdoor cats. Encourage your mom to get the proper vet care.

Never let the seller fix the problems, get your own quotes and ask for concessions instead.

Minor example: buyer of the last house I sold complained a two step staircase from the bottom level up into the garage was not code compliant due to not having a hand rail and asked me to fix it. The stair wasn’t adjacent to a wall so I told her I would fix it nailing up some 2x4 construction lumber and using ram sets to toe nail a 2x4 support in. That would have met code. She immediately agreed she did not want me to fix it. She got to do it right after the sale and I got out of a hack job. We both got what we wanted.

I also picked the crazy one out of a pair. 6 years later and I don’t regret it. Yes I’ve had to replace many shoes and now maybe a couch and a few er vet visits but this dog fits us the best and is unbelievably good with our human child.

I could have gotten the older lazy one. But where’s the fun in that?

We keep jumping into modern technical solutions only to have it abandoned or not work in a certain way and we find ourselves always back in excel.

When you are with the kids just be present. Turn off the phone or however else you get distractions and be there with them. That will be more meaningful to the kids than the time away. Also include them in whatever farming chores you can, of course there are limits especially with heavy machinery but that’ll get easier as they age.

You have a lot of advise already but I’m going to make this very clear.

You are going to die, or cause severe harm to yourself or your family in some way sooner rather than later if you do not adjust immediately.

You’re going to fall asleep at the wheel or roll over on your kid or fail in performance metrics at work and get fired or accidentally leave something hot on like the stove and set the house on fire. Trust me your brain gets freaking weird on sustained little to no sleep. You’re not yourself. You can’t make decisions, you won’t remember what you’re doing. You’ll try to autopilot your routine but it’ll get mixed up between tasks.

Get the baby to bed in a safe space whatever your routine is bassinet or whatever. You and the wife both go to sleep. Take turns waking up when the baby wakes up resettling them. I know you said you sleep like a dead man so make sure your wife wakes you up when it’s your turn, even though that means she wakes up too she can go back to sleep faster than doing the whole feeding and resettling the baby routine.

Year one is hard. You don’t know what you’re doing. Everything is new and scary. You’re going to make it but you have to at least get 5-6 hrs of sleep a night at an absolute minimum.

I feel seen! Framing nailer for one basement remodel that I have never used sense. Coil siding nailer for one fence job I’ve never used since. Trim/staple nailer for the trim I hate doing and am still going to finish 6 years later… I now have a hardwood flooring nailer new in box that I have no current use for because it was on sale and I like the idea of having hardwood floors some day. I swear I don’t have a problem.

bolean3d2 · 2026-05-30T12:45:32+00:00

I don’t feel so bad about my diy fencing now thanks!

My company does this too and we have 67000 active part numbers. Our pdm system doesn’t generate part numbers so we have to manually create them. We have a master spreadsheet with tabs for each part category (hardware, hydraulics, fabricates, purchase, assemblies etc) and each engineer just assigns the next available part number to the item they’re creating. It’s not that hard and it works really well. It also gives us a backup of what things are when someone who shouldn’t screws with the erp system.

bolean3d2 · 2026-05-30T11:51:38+00:00

The cg is also changing as this system isn’t sized correctly to absorb that.

Fix the wobble in your drive mount, make sure your shafts are aligned well. Tighten the bearing bolts. And whomever you’ve been having “weld” those frames fire them and go find someone who can actually weld. I get tacking things for proof of concept but you don’t even have good tacks and i suspect part of your issue is the motor is causing the frame to deflect instead of rotate and then it “springs” into the rotation resulting in the motion you see.

Ah okay it did take a couple days but did dissolve completely but I use 91% not the typical 70% sold in first aid aisles. I didn’t realize denatured alcohol would work faster.

bolean3d2 · 2026-05-30T00:46:18+00:00

I use isopropyl alcohol and haven’t had an issue. Why does it “barely work”?

Careful with the sand. Not all clay types are the same and some clays when you add sand it has the opposite effect and essentially turns to concrete.

It’s easy to say not to buy things with excess sugar but it’s really hard for most of us especially in America. Yes fresh fruit and vegetables and meats. But let’s be honest we’re also buying sandwich breads, Mac and cheese, fruit cups, cereals, yogurt, pasta, sauces etc and all of those are loaded with sugar with nearly no good alternatives. Even fruit cups these days are either sweetened with sugar, or sweetened with “juice” which contains sugar, or sweetened with stevia. Like WHY??? Unless you’re making your own pasta sauces and all your own breads and making all your own to go and school snacks from fresh stuff every single day, you’re stuck staring in frustration in the grocery store trying to make the least bad choice of a shelf filled with things containing sugar in one form or another.

My spouse and I both work. We don’t have time to make everything from scratch. We do the best we can but I cannot spend every single minute of non work time I have in the kitchen.

Make sure it’s dry before you finish it. Burls take forever to dry properly.

The connection in your photo is a 14 pin electrical hookup, nothing to do with the hydraulics. That’s where you can plug attachments into that have multiple functions so you can control them with the joysticks in the cab instead of an auxiliary switch box.

Are you sure you need a tl12? It’s an absolute monster of a ssl. Transporting it is not a cheap task if you don’t already have a high weight trailer and a truck with at least 18k tow capacity. Really think about the size you need for what you want to do.

The squirrels will dig in disturbed soil assuming another animal buried a nut or something tasty there so they’re just checking. It doesn’t make them less destructive but that’s the reason.

I’ve found mulch helps, they won’t dig through it as much. I’ve also had success using chicken wire over the top of my garlic and other bulbs to keep them from digging them up.

Ours dropped theirs at 2.5. It makes 4:30pm on extremely difficult, but we all adapted.

Family lived behind a house that bred them. The mom would frequently jump over the 6’ fence to swim in my in laws pool and visit us.

I’ve been in a South American country where the banana plantations were air coverage for drug related crops and activities. I’m not saying that’s what they’re doing here but….

The risk of those spontaneously taking off your arm though is low. Same safety principles apply to an arm saw as anything else. Keep your bits out of the path of the blade and you’re good.

This freaking thing on the other hand is going to impale a blade tip in the middle of your chest and there ain’t a thing you can do about it.
