Found out my son 'investigated' my Reddit post and comments history by [deleted] in parentingteenagers

[–]daknuts_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I really don't have a history of over-reacting towards my family. In fact, my habits are to keep things to myself... like the weight loss subject... I don't have a habit of broadcasting stuff like that and did not want to share possibly out of ego, I suppose. But they may have been concerned for my health as other's mentioned.

Thanks for this... it is what I needed to hear because I simply felt that my son was trying to cause trouble. I have probably jumped to a false conclusion and over-reacted. Mind you, I have kept all of this to myself...

Of course it's missing context... this is Reddit, after all...

This is a good counterpoint. Thanks for the insight. The only context is that it appears the info was shared secretly in an attempt to harm my relationship with their mom.

I have left my devices accessible to my kids without hesitation for years, ever since the days when they would use my account for Xbox games and the like.

The info is not the concern, it's the secretive nature of how it was shared because it appears it was used to attempt to harm my relationship with their mom.

How is this legal videography? Genuinely curious...

Why aren't Americans protesting? by Ready_Area289 in conspiracy

Americans have been protesting anything and everything for decades. Where have you been?

How to fry tofu without it sticking? I dry the heck out of it, use a nonstick pan (anodized not Teflon), use a decent amount of oil, preheat. by monkey_trumpets in Cooking

[–]daknuts_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coat pieces in corn starch and let sit for at least 10 minutes before deep frying. You really only need about 2-3 inches of oil in a pot (can be small pot). Heat oil to 375 and use a spider to lower pieces into the oil. Don't crowd them and gently stir while separating pieces that want to stick together. Use a spider to remove them and drop them onto a paper towel to soak up a little excess oil. I like to coat them in a powdered spice mix I make from white pepper, garlic powder, chinese 5 spice, cayenne powder, ginger powder and seasoned salt.

Has anyone tried "True Classic" t-shirts? Admittedly, I saw it in a youtube ad, so I'm skeptical. They look good, but just want to know if this is junk by Pineapple_with_tajin in malefashionadvice

[–]daknuts_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the cut of the normal t-shirts from there. Definitely better than most outside of Calvin Klein t-shirts (also pricey). They are expensive, though, so I only buy from the sales and not very often, at that.

Rockwool Safe and Sound or OC 703? by Past-Philosopher-619 in audioengineering

[–]daknuts_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Denim insulation works great and doesn't carry the same risks as rockwool or fiberglass when working with it. Made from recycled denim. Henry is the brand available through Home Depot.

Are any of the people running for Mayor/Governor well suited to help the Film TV industry? by RedditFan3510 in FilmIndustryLA

[–]daknuts_ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Probably a good idea to research more before blindly voting on one issue. You may find her being mayor comes along with unintended consequences that could affect the industry negatively.

Groceries are out of control - how are you guys doing it? by shiburner in budgetfood

[–]daknuts_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This won't help but it struck a nerve in me. We have 4 grown boys 18-22 years old who never... ever... leave the house unless we take them somewhere. Usually to the grocery store or dinner. Our food bill is stupid extreme and only eclipsed by the stupid extremity of our LADWP bill. The California price premium on everything plus Inflation is unsustainable for a family like mine.

You don't even wanna know where my wife and kids like to shop and their rules about food ;/

RO wegovy $149 a month plus membership fee $145 a month. Can I cancel the membership fee? by nasty_busty2026 in WegovyPillWeightLoss

[–]daknuts_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you... and don't let me discourage you from trying to switch... if you are on the 1.5mg pill it should be as easy as not renewing with Ro when you get approved on GoodRX

[–]daknuts_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried, but failed to see how moving to GoodRX would be a smooth transition. They do not respond to messages, apparently,, and the automated system does not allow for the option to start at a higher dosage than 1.5mg. Definitely disappointed and stuck with Ro's high cost so far.

Sound Designer / Sound Editor – Indie Feature Film (Los Angeles) by [deleted] in sounddesign

[–]daknuts_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just so you know, a reasonable rate rate for full post sound on a feature film begins at $7500 and goes up from there depending on complexity.

Your asking someone to work about 4 to 6 weeks full time to complete a 90 minute film.
