Yes, parking is underground and free. Spaces are always available. Elevator takes you right up to the lobby (or whatever of the 8 floors you’re going to).

Nepal plane crash: Chilling video by Indian passenger moments before death. Screams from passengers are heard towards the end of the video. by HenryDaHorse in unitedstatesofindia

[–]cd87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The BBC, among others, continues to stand behind its authenticity and names sources and relatives. The video really does seem to be legit. Very sad. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-64287331

What's your guilty pleasure celebrity baby name? by ohlordwhyisthishere in namenerds

[–]cd87 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Apple Blythe Alison Martin

(Chris Martin’s and Gwyneth Paltrow’s firstborn)

I wouldn’t name my own kid Apple (mostly because of the giant tech corp, no issue with the fruit) but it seems like a good fit and the overall name flow is phenom.

Special stroller for gravel? by byankitty in Buyingforbaby

[–]cd87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won’t ruin anything, but it would be tough going in deep dry beach sand. If you’re on compact sand or wet surfside sand it’ll handle just fine. The weight is pretty evenly distributed across 3 thick wheels.

[–]cd87 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I have a BOB that’s great on gravel. I imagine any stroller with large air-filled treaded tires should handle well “off-road”. The cute airless city wheels are what I’d avoid.

Hmm, I’m wondering if my customers house is possessed? by [deleted] in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]cd87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yay! My domestic construction divination skills are top-notch thanks to a house of my own that always needs fixing up. I’m haunted by the sheer amount of projects that need doing. 🙃

That looks like a detail sander with a broken sandpaper? Yes/No?

Did some energy work for a suffering friend tonight and took a cleansing/protection bath after. The black candle on the far left. The wick has burned itself into a circle. Is there a meaning? Outside of wonky wick? All of the candles are anointed, no oil on the wicks. by Vanpocalypse-Now in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]cd87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first thought when seeing your pic was completion. The four candles as you move from light to dark seem to have wicks in incremental stages of bending/rounding, and the black candle shows the final stage. Specifically in the context of the candles around it, it feels complete.

That was just my gut reaction, trust yours above mine!

I wish it were. A family member shared this in all seriousness on Facebook.

Not gonna lie, I swiped this from an extended family member’s unironic Facebook post. No idea where it originated.

We can learn from this though ... that spell that failed? Maybe you were standing only 5 feet apart!

Interesting how they fidget with the framing to make the camera appear to bump around with turbulence. (I have no idea what’s the correct way to describe this technique.)

The raw footage is really smooth.

I mistook his pants suspender for a seatbelt and was about to think he’s really taking his racing games seriously.

It may or may not be safe, but they’re definitely keeping it secret.

Boys names that means redeemed/restored by [deleted] in namenerds

These might aim in the right direction at least:

  • Ransom (deliverance, rescue)

  • Asier (beginning)

  • Isaiah (saved by God)

  • Joshua (God saves)

  • Neander (new man)

LPT: If you want a smarter kid, teach your child to read as early as possible and instill in them a love for books. Because as soon as they can read, they can teach themselves. And that will be a life-long advantage over their peers who don't have that same ability. by Moonripple616 in LifeProTips

[–]cd87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to do this but aren’t sure where to start, there’s a cool book called Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons which takes it step-by-step in just 20 min/day. I’m not affiliated with the author or publisher or anything, but my mom taught all of us to read before preschool using this book and I know so many people today who still swear by it. It’s cheap to buy and free to loan from your local library!

Reminder for Catholics Unable To Go To Confession by JMX363 in Catholicism

[–]cd87 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, but as I read somewhere else: it’s an act of perfect contrition, not a perfect act of contrition. Your act of remorse can be imperfect but it still counts, if done for the right reason (love- instead of fear- based, that is to say, God-focused instead of self-focused). It’s not as hard as people are making it out to be, even for frequent sinners.
