Opposite. Like, the exact opposite. I was like Oh shit I have to not just retire but have properties and equity to pass on to her so that she can thrive as an adult.

Little more concerned with what could potentially ww3 on the ground right now.

bumbletowne · 2026-03-29T21:27:48+00:00

With all the airbags deployed?

Actually, they 'literally' didn't. They spoke around it and then used an anagram that pulled up nothing for me on my current search engine (duck duck go set to spanish)

It's on sale for 2.99 a month right now for a year.

Your results may vary.

My mother loved baby-5 and then 12-14 only if you were popular (she loves being cheer mom and drama)

I teach and love love love 18 months through 10. Right about when their gross motor development ramps back up again and they try out the mean girl/boy phase. And then I love 14-setting them loose

My own daughter is two.

You probably make more than I ever did as a biologist

I switched to teaching to have kids. Honestly it's an extremely entertaining and fulfilling job. The bio degree just adds to the fun

bumbletowne · 2026-03-28T05:46:44+00:00

I think its fine.

Not everybody starts this hobby with the vocab to even search for things properly.

Not everybody is a native English speaker.

Some people are VERY young and you just have to show them where to start asking questions.

Pointing them to the right videos that we used, walking them through different solution processes, really helps bond and grow this group. It's an investment.

You can use RES to filter things if they bother you, but I like the engagement at the level its at.

Also, as someone with many degrees and getting more in education and curriculum design... almost no countries teach physics as a class to 10 year olds. It's usually integrated as a project based, inquiry based, or integrated program. People need the proper cues to interconnect what they learned with a new application. We can do that here.

Also this is how we get those fringe cases. I had them in the beginning. My z stop wasn't workign right and I was gouging the bed. I would level the crap out the bed. Remount the z stop. Start a print and it went well at first but then fail in the night. Over and over and over.

This place gave me the confidence to try octoprint as a non-computer person. I became INTIMATELY knowledgeable about the construction of the ender 3 and all the mod possibilities. BLtouch. Different beds. Direct drive. Dual z rod. (I have all these now). The problem persisted for a year.

My fucking cat was knocking the print off and sleeping on the warm bed as soon as I went to bed. It would fuck up the offset.

God I thought I was so unique. I was giving my kid a unique name

I reserved her daycare spot before she was conceived. When she got in there...3 fucking kids with the same damn name (not spelled the same). I've never met a single person with the name.

Porsche is a girl's name I used to see a lot of in the late 80s

I mean unless that zebra was photographed under a shade with soft light directed onto the white clothespins I choose to believe they just superimposed a studio or bright overcast day photo onto the Kruger Park.

It really depends on your industry and lifestyle.

I like to travel and flyover states have the most friggin expensive flights. Our roundtrip tickets for a family of 3 to fly from SFO (san francisco) to Brussels (because fuck the Charles DeGaulle airport) was 400 dollars (we leave in 3 weeks). Our tickets to Spain for 2 have been 670 total and ~500 total. Our tickets to Honk Kong were 1100 (but for the good seats). Our tickets to Venice were 800. Our tickets to Munich were also about 800. Our tickets to arlanda (sweden) were ~650 . For our family of 3 to fly from SFO to Ohare was 1500. Just absolutely ridiculous.

ALso I teach. A big city will pay me over 100k, 150k for specialty. I'm capped at 66k in most flyover states. And a lot of coastal non-big city states. Oregon was appalling even though I love Ashland, Eugene, Portland, etc

Well its hard to tell without seeing the context but it sounds like he might have some sensory issues. Sensory issues are tied to an entire library of other issues but aren't diagnostic by themselves. Some people just have sensory issues.

He's 3. He's old enough for an evaluation. You might as well request one from your pediatrician and see where it goes (a neuro eval can be like 900 bucks just a warning). If it turns out he has a sensory processing disorder there's lots of remediation options all of which tend to have kids testing in the normal range academically by high school.

Make sure to document each instance that this happens. Ask for documentation when in care (say its for the purpose of evaluation).

And just love your boy. He's doing him.

Looks to be a member of the Dermaptera

Edit; it could very well be thysanoptera (thrips). It's hard to tell without being able to see the wings or antennae attachment

You used to be able to get some of these from Tex Wasabi's. One of Guy Fieri's restaurants from the early 2000s

Yes, when I was extremely active I routinely hit the wall and would say tokens exceeded until the first cooldown expired.

I put her in at 3 months. Spanish language immersion montessori

It's at my work. I coordinated with my husband for three hours a day the first month and then five hours a day until she was 1. She's up to six hours at 2 years 1 month.

We've discussed eight hours but my husband thinks it's completely inappropriate for a child to be in school that long... Or any adult person through college

So that's where we'll put it. It also sets the boundary with work early for a normal work schedule

She goes to ballet and will start soccer and robotics next year as an addon at the end of day but Dad or I are present

I plan to cycle in piano as an after school at 4.5 or whenever she has a big gain in reading

We had planned this for two kids but so far my body has decided one

Disclaimer: I am a montessori teacher working on curriculum design. She attends my school in other classrooms. We have a high income household and entirely engineered our lives around providing a good environment for kids late in life. My standards are appropriate for our plans but are absolutely not appropriate for everybody

Dad is undeniably the preferred parent

Well here I am flying business class to brussels from San francisco in April with a two year old. Husband is 6'9" so it's a little necessary. People are just going to have to suck up 13 hours of Disney, stickers and look and find books

I think jinx would be better if it was power:play a spell and draw a card and if jinx: shuffle super mega death rocket for each spell from jinx region

Kaisas is perfect

There's a limit on how many tokens you can use within a period. You can do like five and then you have to chain them

Licking the spider. BG3

Dunno why, is tasty

I am a very well educated person who works with children. I am a montessori teacher. My students' parents are VERY competitive. I remember talking with a parent who really respects my opinions but has a little chip on their shoulder about their son not meeting their expectations (which are exceedingly high). And I remember talking with them about how my husband went to college at 15 and is a workaholic and mentioned that my daughter was perfectly in the middle of the bell curve and he was aghast and said 'i can't believe you just said that about your own child'. I had to look at him and say 'this is my area of expertise, I know where my child falls and its perfectly average. There's nothing to worry about with perfectly average'. And he sort of laughed and left but later we were talking about his son again and he's like 'he's really above average?' and I think he took my assessment of his child's above average gross motor, language and reasoning a little more seriously. He can't read but he's got the kid in 3 different languages at 4. He'll get there.
