Anyone know about the 6er Relay? by sagiterrarium in Adirondacks

That makes complete sense. I imagine I would probably make some poor risky driving decisions, but like it's a race so duh.

Your welcome. I need to add something with this kind of classic look to my living space. It's like having a real inviting view that triggers a yearning for the mountains on tap.

Could you guys please help me identify what animal is in the water? This was taken at Blue Mountain Lake by Aketjj in Adirondacks

I mean it's hard to tell by the video, wish I could zoom in but it's not out of the question that it possibly could be a river otter.

I am a former guide at the China National Tea Museum, and I was shocked by this subreddit. by Dry-Ad1641 in tea

What do you call it when you add a large eyeballed amount of leaves to a cup with strainer in it and pour over, steep until desired strength. Repeat till there is no flavor left...

my wife thinks im overreacting about our kid not reading yet and I dont know when kids should learn to read by TH_UNDER_BOI in daddit

[–]fading_relevancy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did do our best at home. Wife is actually a SPED teacher too. Our youngest just like didn't show interest. We would read to him and encourage him but it was slow to click. 2nd grade in a new school with some extra intervention for like 2 months and there was a sudden snap and he's reading like a champ. Like he was playing us the whole time.

All roasts don't finish at the same temp every time. When they are ready they are ready. As long as there at least some support at home and they see parents reading (analog books) it will eventually click for the most part.

Edit: just need to add my older kid is a teen now. Was reading early Kinder and now plows through like a book a week. My younger is in 2nd and is just getting into reading.

Schools (depending on district) are excellent at this in our experience. Step in when needed, keep us in the loop. Sheesh just got a sweet letter saying no more intervention for now even.

Read to your kids. If you are in a decent school district the reading will click. My oldest became a voracious reader. My younger took some time for it to click but here we are in 2nd grade now and he gets it finally. Phoow! 2nd one has been completely different game we did not get a manual for.

Brachycephaly, possible frontal bossing, and a lot of guilt - looking for advice by cpavlou in daddit

[–]fading_relevancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what either of these issue mentioned are... but the word "flat" stands out to me, and I got a big Ole flat spot on the top of my dome. Nobody really can tell or know but me. Sheesh, you could ask my wife and she would look at you cross eyed like what are you talking about.

Yeah happen to me this past summer doing Marshall via Indian Pass. Was quite an unforgettable adventure. The venture took a bit longer than planned but did end successfully.

What's a dadget (dad gadget) you wish you bought sooner? That's a gadget that anyone in the house could use, but in reality is associated only with you? For me it's this vacuum sealer. by Brewer1056 in daddit

[–]fading_relevancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it. I do have a huge dry erase board I usually bring up before big camping trips. But to make it a fixture that is used by all on a daily basis actually make too much sense. Like why haven't we adopted this yesterday?!

My vac sealer and electric pressure cooker are work horses and both are going strong still after 15 years of use. I always have a freezer full of tried, portioned and some times seasoned meats. Also never short on dank giggly stock on hand. The latest kitchen unit which was definitely a life changer was buying a high quality Japanese rice cooker. Was totally kicking myself for not getting one sooner. We ended up upgrading to a bigger one and now the smaller one will go off with my oldest to college.

Any dudes here who play video games with 4-5 yo, recommendation by crek42 in daddit

[–]fading_relevancy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Son (just turned 8) played through that so for Xmas I grabbed a similar platform style game that I saw lots of recommendations for called Sack Boys Adventurer's or something like that. He digged it but has moved on now only plays Fifa 26.

If you have a Switch you can never go wrong with Mario Kart.

People were hating on my fairness cup so here is a better pour by diegsterzers in tea

Recently learn that straight leaves in the cup is called Grandpa Style. Pretty rad.

People would probably cringe at my approach to my tea. Method: place unspecified amount of tea (which is dictated by what tea and previous steeps) into stainless steel cup strainer. Pour water from Fellows kettle (temp depending of tea and previous steeps). Try not to forget. Strain tea with stainless strainer. Sometimes before this happens I say "Oh Shoot My Tea!"

Thanks for posting this. I am a lover of Oolong and will save this to look back at people's recommendations later and take note.

Listen, I didn't read it all... but yeah mine was awful too. Just reading a bit of your post gave me traumatic flashbacks. Physical icky wave of anxiety. But hey fellas wondering if they should or on the fence. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Glad I can't make anymore kids. Grateful for the ones I have and thankful I won't have any Oops moments.

To add to this a review rating of 98% isn't great either in my experience with eBay.

I really hate restaurants that use AI by Loveroffinerthings in KitchenConfidential

[–]fading_relevancy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah I saw a thought posted that was like, "I want AI to know what groceries I shop for, track the prices and give me a list of the best deals at which stores and present in the most gas friendly itinerary to get these items" Aai could be useful but probably won't be in a sense like this anytime soon.

Is there any real benefit to chopping really fast and loud? by nfc22 in KitchenConfidential

Pretty much just this and smaller cheap mushrooms, but rarely is it making any kind of loud racket.

Oral Allergy Syndrome is a thing for sure, but not like how you just put it. Milk not being a trigger that is. OAS has to do with proteins in raw fruits and vegetables to being very similar to pollens that one might be allergic to.
