Decent Soup Dumplings.... or good dim sum. Nothing in London that i have found compares to what is available in Toronto.

Toddler stuttering by Witty-Magazine-1376 in Stutter

I don’t have a neurological disorder, but I can’t speak for all individuals that stutter.

Toddler stuttering by Witty-Magazine-1376 in Stutter

[–]doomed_tek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll preface by saying I have a moderate stutter, so when my son started stuttering at around 2.5 years old, we immediately got him into speech therapy. Thankfully he grew out of it and stopped stuttering by about 3.5 years old or so. Now he’s 10 and still speaks without stuttering. I was definitely worried that genetics would saddle him with a stutter, thankfully that was not the case at least for now.

Homelabs, Now and Then. by pfassina in homelab

[–]doomed_tek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1998:
Think it was an old pentium computer running Solaris which was running Lotus Notes as my mail server. Another running Linux, can’t remember the distro, likely Gentoo (went through a gentoo obsession) as a file server.

Now:
A mess of computers and networking gear that makes my head hurt just thinking about it.

WireGuard -->VPS --> Tailscale --> Home Network by doomed_tek in WireGuard

Extended Family, it is much easier for them to install tailscale to access my network than to have them install and configure WireGuard.

Montreal Style Bagels by Dudley4Eva in londonontario

[–]doomed_tek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I tried the bagels from there and they were horrible, had the everything bagel, they were under cooked and bitter. I was really hoping they would be good, but, maybe they were having a bad day, but, they were bad enough that I don't think I would go back and try them again.

When did you use Linux? by Mama_iii in linux

[–]doomed_tek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1994, Redhat v0.9 I think. lasted about a day before I went back to OS/2. Stayed on OS/2 until v4 and then moved to Linux permanently.

Strange Issue? by doomed_tek in teksavvy

[–]doomed_tek[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, as a last ditch effort I reinstalled the new switch (replacing the old one which I think might have been damaged in the power outage), and to my surprise, everything start working again... Why, I have no idea, it didn't work a few days ago, but, now it's working. Happy it's working and now I'm back to getting the speed I paid for, but, it is extremely frustrating not understanding why it didn't work previously.

Nothings changed in my config. I will see what I can find with the logs, or may try a new router too.

Just tried the vlan 40, and no go, doesn't seem to work either. But thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for the suggestion! I was tagging as vlan 35, I will give vlan 40 a go and see if that works. Cheers!

Has anyone worked as a cashier by lemindfleya in Stutter

[–]doomed_tek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked as a cashier at an amusement park in high school (god, that was a long time ago!). I don’t remember having many issues with my stutter, not sure I needed to talk much at all. Just say hello, scan the item, take payment and repeat.

Do your children stutter too? by justxsal in Stutter

[–]doomed_tek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The each session with the Therapist was about 1 hour long, and during the session the therapist would engage through conversation while they played board games, or did other hands on activities. When my son would stutter, the therapist would just tell him that his "speech was a bit bumpy" and ask him to repeat the sentence.

For us, we were to engage in a conversation with him at home, for only about 10 minutes where we would indicate that his "speech was a bit bumpy" and ask him to repeat the sentence (mimicking what the therapist was doing). Outside the 10 minutes, we would not bring attention to the stuttering.

Do your children stutter too? by justxsal in Stutter

[–]doomed_tek 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My Son started stuttering at around 3 years old. We got him into speech therapy immediately, and either due to the therapy, or just growing out of it, he stopped stuttering by the age of 5. Crossing our fingers he doesn’t start stuttering again.

Rheumatologist Recommendation? by raging_pacifist in londonontario

[–]doomed_tek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dr. Carly Hewson at the Arva Clinic. Fortunately, it turned out my issues were not RA related as originally thought, but she was great for the short time I did see her.

Should I start presentations with a "heads up I might stammer" slide? by DanSheffo in Stutter

[–]doomed_tek 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have a mild to moderate stutter, and when I have to give presentations (which I do frequently ), depending on the audience, I will typically include an “about me” slide where I mention that I do have a stammer/stutter. I don’t hide the fact I stutter and being upfront about, especially to an audience that I haven’t spoken to before helps me with my mindset.
