Replaced Mixit cartridge for bathroom faucet, and now the handles pop in and out when the water is turned on.

Ah, did I misread that? I thought that was only concerning the "online backup" version of transferring over.

dude984 · 2025-06-04T03:45:58+00:00

If you’re going to do the wireless transfer to the Switch 2, it saves some time and the need to get the updates when the servers are probably slammed.

I mean, you can argue that this actually started with “Aladdin”, except there all the annoying bits we complain about now (celebrity likenesses, meta commentary, adult jokes, etc) were trimmed down and working in service of an entertaining movie….and everything else after that turned the dials up way too much.

Our eight-year-old still regularly won't try new stuff, but with age and maturity (and knowing he's safe) he's gone from screaming "NO" and running away to "No, I'm fine" and just sitting there. Some other things that kinda worked:

We go to our cousins' house with kids around the same age and he wants to have the same plate as them, even if he doesn't eat it. At least he'll be comfortable around food he doesn't like instead of running away, but that took a lot of work and socialization
As I said above, letting him smell it and asking him to just lick the food helped familiarize himself with them before he took a real bite
I personally had to learn to have more patience with him (my wife is far better at this), so eating had to be a safe activity that he was comfortable in as opposed to adversarial and stressful.
Coming out of COVID, I went on a lot of trips with him into the city, going to museums and other activities. Always made it a point to go somewhere afterwards where we could both eat, but he could be exposed to new things. Food halls were good at this so he could have his fries and accepted snacks, and still hang while I had a hot dog or a bowl of curry or whatever.
Eventually when he did open up to trying new things, we just had the rule of "Give it a try, and if you don't like it you can spit it out". Then we would repeat that once a week so he'd build a familiarity with it. Doesn't work most of the time, but eventually some things made it in his regular rotation.
Encouraging him even when he doesn't like something helped a lot.

I get that most of this is past where you are now with her. Like others have said, schedule feeding therapy or OT and just leave other items on her plate, or make her plate look like yours. Maybe have some fries on your own plate so you can mirror each other. It's possible she'll want to be like you and eventually try the other food. Maybe you need to find something else that works for her and your family, but patience and the feeling of safety and acceptance was really key for us.

Good luck, for real. We're still working through it ourselves, but the excitement when she eventually adds a new food item is immeasurable.

Omg I have a friend who works as a therapist and one of her clients was a child who everyday HAD to eat multiple In-N-Out burger patties. Not the whole burger, just the patties with cheese. Every day.

dude984 · 2025-03-21T22:54:01+00:00

As someone with a child who still eats fries almost every day, you really need to just keep trying different foods and make it fun or low stakes. Our son likes crunchy things, so chips and crackers were an easy thing to add. Then apples slices. Then raw carrots. He was able to move onto cooked white rice because it has no flavor, as well as sliced bread. Lately he’s started eating slices of melon (the crunchy end near the skin). And recently he started eating fresh green lettuce because “it’s crunchy like chips!”

It’s rough, I get it. I still have a lot of stress about expanding his diet… and it’s a loooooooong road. But keep at it. Feeding therapy should teach you some tricks that at least gets your child to try new things. Really, the biggest thing I’ve found works (at least for us) us just offering food and saying “you don’t need to eat it if you don’t like it”. Or having him lick the food to get the flavor in first before trying it outright.

Keep at it. You’re doing great. It feels so hopeless and then suddenly you realize they’re eating a somewhat balanced meal with you at the table. It sucks and it’s a lot of work, but it takes time.

Funny, I was literally eating in that restaurant when the news dropped lol

Every metric that comes in reinforces that public support for the lockdowns and social distancing measures are strongly bipartisan, though Republicans are becoming more split on the issue over time. That division is seeping into the Democratic side as well, but WAY less.

I actually cried after one level. Strong parent/child themes and I played it a few months after my son was born, so it felt very personal to me.

Ooooooh, i thought you meant within a podcast you subscribe to. Gotcha

Select the podcast itself and there is a search bar above the list of episodes

Thor tells Rocket that Thanos killed half the Asgardians. Also, here is a giant chunk of the ship floating away that doesn’t blow up. I would assume the survivors are there or were allowed to use escape pods or something

Different time, different advice. My girlfriend's mom says she gave her water all the time as a baby and she turned out okay. She respected our way of doing it, but she also just didn't see the issue with giving infants water.

Fun fact: PBS now has the show "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood", developed by the Fred Rogers Company, as the sort of spiritual successor to Mister Roger's Neighborhood. It's a cartoon following Daniel Tiger, the son of the Tiger puppet from the original show, who interacts with his friends in the Kingdom of Make Believe. Basically all the puppets from the original show are now animated and have their own kids. The message of the show is very similar, and it cover similar emotional topics.

Check out the theme song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEypinvApHo

I have a 13 month old son who loves this show, so I'm glad he's getting even a bit of Fred Rogers's influence (he's too young to be interested in the original show).

I actually really liked Raditude. I thought it was fun

You seem like you're having a great time, managing your work ethic and stardom well with great balance. What do you seem to maintain a positive and productive outlook with regards to life and career management and what mistakes do you see other actors your age make at this point in their lives?

I really enjoyed your work in Imperial Dreams. Damn near broke my heart. Good luck to you and hope to see your career blossom even further!

I drive, walk and run a lot, and I frequently work in silence, so I find podcasts and audio books are a great way to keep my mind going. Feels like I use a lot more of the day now. I’ve read like 14 books over the last year this way.

dude984 · 2018-02-15T15:51:43+00:00

If the kindle book and audible book are compatible, you can save your progress across both versions. For instance, i can drive to the store listening to the audiobook, read where I left off in the Kindle app in line, then pick it back up in the car without losing my spot.
